Barbara C. Gutin has recently made a $3 million gift to Boca Raton Regional Hospital’s Christine E. Lynn Women’s Health & Wellness Institute that could transform the way women experience pregnancy and the impact it has on their bodies. The gift, which Barbara Gutin says she hopes will be her legacy, will help show pregnant women and new mothers how to handle changes in their bodies and how to deal with pelvic floor issues as well as emotional issues, including postpartum depression. This program will also assist new mothers in knowing just what to do at home after the birth of their babies and the many other issues that arise for women of childbearing age.

“This program will allow pregnant women and new mothers to be better equipped to understand their changing bodies and to know what is a normal part of pregnancy and what may require additional care. New mothers will work with their personal physicians, the Toppel Family Place at Boca Raton Regional Hospital, as well as the team of clinicians at the Women’s institute, which include a board certified urogynecologist, doctoral trained physical therapists, mental health professionals, nurse practitioners and others,” said Dr. Kathy Schilling, Medical Director of the Women’s Institute. “They will be able to seek out medical and other professional support so that they can better care not just for their babies and their families, but for themselves.”

Maureen Mann, assistant vice president of the Women’s Institute, added, “We are extremely grateful to Barbara Gutin for this very generous gift which will allow us to launch what we know is going to be an extraordinary program.

This pre and postpartum program could serve as a prototype for other hospitals throughout the state and across the country.”

This is not the first life-changing gift from Barbara C. Gutin. Along with her late husband, Irving, they established the Barbara C. Gutin Center for Pelvic Health at the Women’s Institute. Additionally, their gift to the hospital of

www.bocaratontribune.com

new state of the art technology in 2013 established the Irving and Barbara C. Gutin Center for Robotic Surgery, now one of the busiest robotic surgery centers in Palm Beach County. Their first transformational gift was in 2008 to help create a Stroke Program at Boca Raton Regional Hospital.

Barbara, a resident of Boca Raton since 1988, believes philanthropy should have a strong impact on the community.

With this belief, Barbara is also an active volunteer. She serves on the Boca Raton Regional Hospital’s Ball and Go Pink committees, has served as honorary chair of the Go Pink Luncheon for many years and served on the Advisory Committee for the Women’s Institute.

She is a past president of the Lynn University Conservatory. She supports Aid to Victims for Domestic Abuse, The Louis and Anne Green Memory and Wellness Center on the Florida Atlantic University campus, Best Foot Forward, Family Promise and has long been involved in programs to prevent suicide.

Barbara and Irving Gutin were honored by the Boca Raton Historical Society and included in the Walk of Recognition. They received the Martens Award from the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties.

Most recently, Barbara is the recipient of the Soroptimist Lifetime Achievement Award and is the 2019 recipient of the Countess Henrietta de Hoernle Award at the Order of St. John’s Knights and Dames Gala.

“From suicide education and prevention to giving the homeless a leg up in life; from her strong belief that education is the key to success for children, to her determination to make healthcare better and more accessible to everyone – Barbara C. Gutin’s leadership shines in many areas. It is the perfect combination of generosity, kindness, humility and love of others and shows in all that she does for Boca Raton Regional Hospital and other community organizations,” says Mark Larkin, President of Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation.

Delray Beach Fire Chief Quits Amid Allegations of Sexual Harassment

By Neilsonsky Noel

The embattled two-time interim city manager who recently returned to his position as fire chief, resigned abruptly after allegations surfaced of him sending inappropriate electronic messages to an employee, the Boca Raton Tribune has learned.

Neal de Jesus submitted a 1½ page letter to City Manager George Gretsas touting his accomplishments over the past four years and saying it is time to say so long.

“Since joining the City nearly 4 years ago we have changed the trajectory and culture of the fire rescue department significantly,” he wrote, detailing a list of his accomplishments. “I say all that to say …the success of Delray Beach Fire Rescue has little to do with my presence or my leadership and everything to do with the dedicated team of professionals that has been assembled to lead.…”

De Jesus, who served as interim city manager from March 2019 to January 2020, said he has “committed everything I have each and every day to make the fire service better than I found it” and wants to focus on his family.

“With your arrival and the stability and leadership that you have already instilled in the city and staff, I feel my time has come to move on and focus more time on my family,” he said. “I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to lead this City and more importantly, the brave women and men who I consider family. Please accept this as my grateful yet humble letter of resignation effective immediately.”

At least five high-ranking city officials and employees confirmed that de Jesus’s departure came after an employee filed a formal complaint to the city’s Human Resources department over “inappropriate” emails that de Jesus sent to the employee.

De Jesus was interim city manager when the alleged incident occurred, a top-ranking official close to the matter told the Boca Raton Tribune. City officials are in receipt of the printout of the conversation between de Jesus and the employee, the official said, adding that “It was very, very, very bad.”

The Boca Raton Tribune is not naming the employee because of the nature of the complaint.

Messages to Gretsas and the city’s public information officer were not returned.

Allyson Love, an assistant city manager, said, “I know we do not comMarch 20 - March 26, 2020

ment on personnel matters, but I will leave George a message.”

Two city commissioners said they were briefed on de Jesus’ resignation. However, they could not discuss it because they were told it was confidential in nature.

Like many, Commissioner Bill Bathurst said de Jesus’ abrupt resignation came as a surprise to him.

However, Vice Mayor Shirley Johnson differed.

“I was not surprised at anything involving Mr. de Jesus,” she said, adding that she must be careful in how she discusses it.

Johnson said the negative publicity could have been avoided had her colleagues listened to her when she raised concerns about de Jesus’ character last year.

“All this negative publicity, and the potential lawsuits that could stem from this, perhaps could have been prevented,” she said. “Six months ago, when questions surfaced about Mr. de Jesus’ outside employment in Homestead among a list of other things, I requested an internal investigation to determine the veracity of those allegations.”

City attorney Lynn Gelin and then internal auditor Julia Davidyan polled all five commissioners individually, and they all agreed to conduct the inquiry, Johnson stated.

“Our auditor was prepared to do a thorough investigation and Mr. de Jesus, who was out of town, cut his vacation short and returned home that Friday,” Johnson said. “Somehow, over the weekend, it appears Mr. de Jesus met with members of the commission and by Monday morning, four people changed their minds and the vote was then 4 to 1.

“I do not know [whom] he browbeat or what information he showed them that he had on them, however, majority decided not to do this investigation,” Johnson added.

When she raised her concerns at the next city commission meeting, Mayor Shelly Petrolia told her she did not have the votes to conduct an inquiry, and if she was not pleased, she could file a formal complaint with the Palm Beach County Inspector General’s office or the Ethics Commission, Johnson said.

“I took her up on her suggestion and did so,” she added. “My concerns then remain the same today, and I am afraid that this will be the beginning of many more lawsuits that we will be faced with, thanks to our former interim city manager.”

FAU Emergency Medicine Resident Physicians Train For Coronavirus

The world is at the brink of a pandemic as officials rush to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus.

With seven reported cases in Florida to-date, emergency medicine resident physicians from Florida Atlantic University’s Schmidt College of Medicine prepared for the threat of a coronavirus (COVID-19) contagion using a simulated or “mock” disaster scenario.

About 100 people participated in the half-day simulation at FORTS Medical in Coconut Creek, including local nurses, paramedics, and student and community actors. The coronavirus simulation involved a cruise ship dock-setting scenario with mock cruise ship passengers who were exposed to the virus and were presenting with symptoms from this infectious disease.

Transported by bus, the mock passengers stormed into the large warehouse to challenge 18 of FAU’s emergency medicine resident physicians to react and respond quickly to triage the patients.

For the exercise, FAU emergency medicine resident physicians had to swiftly put on their protective gear and slip into chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) and powered, air-purifying respirator (PAPR) suits, which completely covered their face and body. They were tasked with assessing the level of sickness of each of the passengers and had to organize them into three groups depending on their symptoms.

Patients with life-threatening symptoms who needed immediate attention were placed in the RED zone; those with less severe symptoms were placed in the YELLOW zone, and those with mild

www.bocaratontribune.com

symptoms were placed in the GREEN zone.

“As part of training our emergency medicine resident physicians we regularly practice for large-casualty events like a bombing, mass shooting or natural disaster,” said Patrick Hughes, D.O., director of FAU’s emergency medicine simulation program and an assistant professor of integrated medical science in FAU’s Schmidt College of Medicine. “To prepare for a pathogen pandemic such as coronavirus, we wanted to provide our residents with the experience of delivering medical care during a chaotic situation while wearing bulky CBRN and PAPR suits and other protective gear. It also was critical to ensure that they effectively communicated with other emergency workers on the team during this process.”

Following the coronavirus simulation, Hughes had a debriefing with FAU’s resident physicians, nurses and first responders on what worked best and areas that could be improved.

“Practice makes perfect and we want to prepare for the worst and hope for the best,” said Hughes. “We hope we don’t have to use the skills our resident physicians learned today, but if we do, we’ll be ready.”

The inaugural class of FAU’s emergency medicine residency began in 2017, and the program focuses on training exceptional clinical emergency medicine physicians with an innovative curriculum. The program is approved by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and is spearheaded by Lisa M. Clayton, D.O., program director.

All public and private K-12 Florida COVID-19 Quarantine Cancels FAU Graduation schools to be closed through April 15

Coming off the heels of Florida Atlantic shutting down their campus and movie strictly to online for the remainder of the Semester, now it looks as if public school students in Palm Beach County will have to wait a little longer to return to school than earlier expected.

State officials have announced on Tuesday that all public and private K-12 schools in Florida will be closed through April 15, and that students will take part in remote learning instead.

The closures will affect all public and private K-12 schools, along with career and technical center campuses, according to new guidelines released by the Florida Department of Education.

State officials said school districts should be prepared to extend their educational calendars through June 30.

In a statement, Commissioner

of Education Richard Corcoran said:

“The containment of COVID-19 is essential, and this is not a decision we made lightly. Districts have taken action and have instituted distance learning as a necessary precaution to protect students, educators, families, and Florida’s overall public health. We are working with our local school districts to provide guidance and help children who need access food during this time. Our number one priority is keeping our families safe and healthy and stopping the spread of this virus. These actions will help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in Florida. I will continue to work with the Governor, Superintendents, Florida College System and the State University System to do whatever we can to protect our children, our families, and our communities.”

On Wednesday, the Office of Registrar at Florida Atlantic University in Boca, sent out an official email containing information on 2020 Spring graduation.

For many Senior’s set to graduate in Spring, like myself, graduation was a main concern in which many were uncertain about.

The recent email states that, “The State University System of Florida Board of Governors has directed state universities to cancel the traditional commencement ceremonies scheduled for May.”

Obviously a main concern with hosting an event as large as graduation is the spread of COVID-19. With over 200 students in a room, sitting close to one-another and shaking hands with faculty, graduation poses as a hotspot to the pandemic.

FAU continues to acknowledge the importance of a commencement ceremony for many

www.bocaratontribune.com

students and President Kelly of FAU, “considers commencement a fundamental component to the educational experience.”

Kelly continues in stating, “I want to assure all students who were scheduled to graduate in May that every effort will be made to ensure you and your families are given the opportunity to participate in a future commencement ceremony.”

Degrees will be awarded to students following the completion of this spring semester and diplomas will be mailed after the final certification of said degree.

FAU understands how disappointing this news may be but the main concern is that of the students and faculties health.

Students stay informed on any future information about the “make-up” commencement ceremony.

Getting a Window into the South’s Lingering Shameful Past

As I penned this column, I glanced a few times at the picture of me sandwiched between four Alabama State troopers – three blacks and one white – at the foot of the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma.

I gently shook my head and smiled to hide the disgust I felt when I thought that just more than a half century ago, no one of my pigmentation would dare stand shoulder to shoulder with a trooper.

In fact, it was 55 years ago at that same location on this same Sunday, which later became known as Bloody Sunday, protesters were assaulted with billy clubs and cattle prods and sprayed with tear gas as they marched for equal voting rights.

To commemorate the sacrifices and success of scores of African Americans from around the country, I had the opportunity to join a group of Floridians at Selma’s Annual 55th Bridge Crossing Commemoration.

The trip also afforded me a chance to peer through the window of

the south’s shameful racial history.

In the days leading up to Sunday’s climax, we visited the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church where Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., was pastor from 1954 to 1960 and which became a seminal moment in the civil rights movement. We also visited the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, the Legacy Museum, the National Voting Rights Museum & Institute, the Lowndes Interpretive Center and we “hung out” with the new petite 5’3-foot statute of civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks in downtown Montgomery.

The statute shows Parks clutching her purse in front of her as she stood at a fountain, 30 feet from the department store where she worked, and near where she is believed to have boarded the segregated bus when she refused to give up her seat to a white man on Dec. 1, 1955.

I returned home with poignant and happy memories buried in the annals of my mind: Dexter Avenue Church, the six-acre memorial to the south’s dark

side, and seeing US Rep. John crossed the bridge that shaped and transformed this small Southern city into an international symbol of black Americans’ struggle to exercise their right to vote. Interestingly, this man, who while undergoing doctor’s care for stage 4 pancreatic cancer, thought it was important to be there to implore Americans to vote in the upcoming election.

Just knowing that only 55 years ago, police beat and cracked Lewis’ scull and sprayed him with tear gas on that same bridge as he led a march, and to see him back at that same spot, was inspiring.

Greeting me at the National Memorial for Peace and Justice was a bronze life-size sculpture of six people in rusting shackles, including a mother with a baby in her arms.

Along the walkway were 800 elongated steel columns dangling like gravestones above and bearing the names of victims who were lynched and the counties where they occurred.

As I walked through this somber space for truth-telling and reflection,

memories of the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin and Washington, DC, as well as the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg enveloped me. The hanging monuments changed from eye level to overhead, mimicking the way lynching victims were hanged.

Walking along the meandering path in the grassy courtyard, I felt like the callous spectators in old photos of public lynching. My bubble busted when towards the end, I pounced upon one of the weathered columns, bearing the names J.B. Harris (11.29.1920), Roy Gaines (06.15.1923), William Simmons (06.15.1923) of Palm Beach County and Rubin Stacy (7.19. 1935) of Broward.

After being immersed into this history for three days, I am not convinced that most Americans understand the pain, agony, suffering, humiliation, and the complete denial of humanity that slavery created for black people in this country.

There can be no reconciliation without an acknowledgment. This is a must see for every American.

POSITIVE LIVING

What Followers Expect of Their Leaders

Most leaders have specific expectations. They often communicate, whether orally, in writing, or both, what they expect of those that report to them. They provide job descriptions, set goals and objectives, and determine the parameters that define when, where and how they are to perform their job responsibilities. But how often do we consider that followers might rightfully have expectations of their leaders?

Max DePree, the late entrepreneur, business executive and writer, offered this perspective:

“Any follower has a right to ask things of a leader. Here are several questions that leaders should expect to hear: What may I expect from you? Can I achieve my own goals by following you? Will I reach my potential by working with you? Have you bothered to prepare yourself for leadership? What do you believe?”

A common perspective is that followers – employees, staff, and team members – are

March 20 - March 26, 2020

there primarily for the benefit of the leader.

However, authorities on the business and professional world like DePree have long contended that equally so, the leader is there for the benefit of the followers. Many renowned leaders say one of their foremost desires is to assist those that work for them in maximizing their potential and fulfillment.

My first job was as a grocery clerk, working on a local supermarket’s night crew. I was assigned a specific aisle and the responsibility for keeping the shelves stocked, sweeping and mopping the floor, and making certain the aisle looked presentable for shoppers the next morning. The night crew manager, a fellow named Joe, could have spent the night in his office, but every evening would work alongside one of us in our respective aisles.

One night I asked Joe why he worked with us, helping us to do our jobs, rather than just giving us our instructions and making sure

we did our work properly. His answer was profound: “I will never ask anyone to do anything that I am not willing to do.” That, long before the term became popular, was my first exposure to servant leadership.

I did not ask the manager any of the questions DePree suggested, but from that simple response, I knew Joe had my best interests at heart, as well as those of my fellow workers.

The concept of a leader that serves his or her followers was not originated by DePree, or Robert K. Greenleaf, the author of Servant Leadership. It was stated explicitly by Jesus Christ. He said, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:28, Mark 10:45). Jesus also made the curious statement, “and whoever wants to be first must be your slave” (Matthew 20:27).

These declarations were made by the One of whom the Bible says, “He is the atoning

www.bocaratontribune.com

sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.” (1 John 2:2). That, without question, is the epitome of servant leadership. That is not all the Bible says about how are we as leaders to serve others.

The leader who puts the needs and interests of others first will inspire followers to give their best, including their loyalty. “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others” (Philippians 2:3-4).

As Jesus said, it is “more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35). One reason is because when we give – putting others first – we also receive. In the workplace, this often means serving others, who in turn are willing to give their best to those for whom they are working.

Tom, a CEO friend of mine, had a promising executive on his leadership team that was struggling at work.

It had become obvious this individual would need additional oversight until he could mature into fulfilling the potential everyone knew he possessed. One of the problems involved the junior executive’s reluctance to release any control. He lacked of a quality Tom considered critical for personal and professional growth: Teachability.

Despite having the intelligence and raw talent for one day becoming a valued member of the team, this fellow’s resistance to instruction and correction would remain obstacles for advancement.

Tom knew if the leader did not become more open to recommendations for change or improvement, most likely he would undermine any assistance and support sent his way.

Unwilling to give up on the young executive, Tom scheduled a faceto-face meeting with him to discuss the reality of the problem. He needed to prove that he was teachable, Tom explained, or it would be necessary to consider other options.

Fortunately, this leader humbled himself and accepted Tom’s offer of additional direction. This resulted in rapid growth for the leader and more profitability for the organization. It proved to be a win-win for him and the company, but if he had resisted change, everyone would have lost.

Repeatedly in the Scriptures we find emphasis on the importance of teachability. Here are some examples:

Teachability leads to prosperity.

There is an old saying that “not one of us is as smart as all of us.” We might believe we can succeed independently, without help, but doing so almost always leads to failure. Relying on the wisdom and

insights of others, however, usually leads to success. “Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord” (Proverbs 16:20).

“Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed” (Proverbs 15:22).

Teachability paves the way to wisdom. A young man seeking a mentor, when asked why he wanted to be mentored, responded, “I want to learn from your mistakes.” Showing discernment beyond his years, this individual had realized he did not need to make all of his own errors; he could also learn from the mistakes others had made. Wisdom is usually a product of experience, and experience is often gained through making mistakes and then making necessary corrections and changes. “Listen to advice and accept instruction, and in the end you will be wise” (Proverbs 19:20).

Teachability pursues the best resources. The world is filled with knowledge. There are hundreds, even thousands of books on virtually any topic. There is an endless supply of information through the media – TV, radio, newspapers and magazines. The Internet can serve as a library at your fingertips, a cornucopia of content about practically everything.

But we only have limited time, so which resources we use can affect not only our teachability but also what we learn. Why not consult the Bible? Writing to his young disciple, the apostle Paul declared, “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

Teachability is a quality we should all look for in those we select for leading areas of our business.

After recent developments with the coronavirus pandemic, Romanelli Scherarer stated in the letter that the decision to cut the hours of each store’s operations was made to not only have employees “imple-

ment rigorous cleanings each evening,” but help the community to still purchase any goods and services they may need.

“Together, we are challenged with unprecedented circumstances, [but] there is nothing more important than to us than the well-being and safety of our guests, employees, and of course, our tenant partners,” Romanelli Schearer wrote. “Together, we will navigate this new, challenging territory.”

Lynn debate team triumphs at state championship

The Lynn University debate team claimed the top spot at the Florida Intercollegiate Forensics Association 2020 State Championship held on February 22.

Team Captain Marisa McGrady, class of ‘21, and Brendan Donahue, class of ‘21, took the state title as the top performing British Parliamentary team.

British Parliamentary style consists of four teams of two students from different institutions.

Each argues philosophical positions relevant to current political events, with limited preparation. In addition to the state title, the Lynn team claimed 15 individual and team medals, including three overall school performance trophies.

“I am overwhelmed with pride in the Lynn debate team,” said McGrady.

“Being part of a team that consistently strives to improve our craft allows me to not only excel in debate but also focus on how I can use these important skills postgraduation.”

Prior to fall 2016, there was a debate presence at Lynn, but students were not competing outside of the campus.

Under the leadership of Assistant Professor Eric Hamm, the former debate club

transitioned into a team.

Today, under the guidance of Eric Hamm and Assistant Professor Kathryn Hamm, the team competes in four tournaments per semester and hosts an on-campus tournament called the Gold Coast Swing. This schedule allows the team to travel nationally and internationally to debate against unlikely competition.

“Most people don’t realize there are no conferences or divisions in debate. When we compete, we are faced with a variety of teams, both Ivy League and international,” said Eric Hamm. “Having these opponents helps stretch our students’ abilities.”

Kathryn Hamm agreed, “The debate team exists as an outlet for students to construct, exercise and enjoy their logical-thinking skills and the energy to continue their learning outside of the formal college-course setting.”

McGrady and Donahue, for example, did not have prior debate experience before attending Lynn. Their time with the team taught them about communication, organization and teamwork— skills that can set them up for success in many arenas for many years to come.

Lynn University eliminates water bottle distribution

Lynn University announced at its annual Sustainability Day Feb. 13 that it will no longer purchase water bottles. The initiative is part of ongoing efforts to create a greener campus.

Single-use plastics place a strain on waste management systems, oceans and communities around the world. Lynn’s initiative, which ends distribution of water bottles to campus offices, encourages employees and visitors to use refillable water containers. This alone eliminates use of nearly 70,000 plastic water bottles per year.

“The sustainability team works year-round to educate and promote an environmentally friendly campus, and we’ve had our sights set on eliminating water bottles,” said Zach Minich ‘18, assistant project manager in the Office of Construction and Sustainability. “Once we heard about large organizations making the change, we knew we could do it.”

Sustainability is a strategic goal for Lynn. The university implements green practices in building, maintenance, consumption and more. The Mohamed Indimi International Business Center and

www.bocaratontribune.com

Mary and Harold Perper Residence Hall are LEED certified by the U.S. Green Building Council, and the university expects the Christine E. Lynn University Center to receive the recognition later this year.

Students are also getting involved.

United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are part of Lynn’s social impact curriculum and experiential learning programs. For example, in 2018, one group of students set out to support SDG No. 12, responsible consumption and production, and worked with Lynn food service provider Sodexo to reduce plastic straw supply.

Water bottles are available in vending machines and at food service locations for purchase, but the university hopes increased awareness will decrease and eventually eliminate demand for these products in the future.

"There are 35 refill stations at Lynn, including those in university offices and two at the airport," said Minich. "We hope to see more reusable water bottles carried around campus."

The University’s teacher preparation program is among the best in Florida and top among private colleges and universities in the state, according to new ratings.

The Washington, D.C.-based National Council on Teacher Quality gave PBA an “A” for instructing future educators in scientificallybased methods for teaching reading. The University was one of only 16 traditional undergraduate and graduate programs in Florida to earn an “A” rating in the think tank’s 2020 Teacher Prep Review. PBA was one of only three schools from the Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida (ICUF) to receive the designation.

At the state level, the Florida Department of Education reported that 78 percent of PBA students passed the Florida Teacher Certification Examinations K-6 social science subtest on their first attempt — the highest percentage of all private colleges and universities in the state.

Dr. Chelly Templeton, dean of the School of Education and Behavioral

Studies, credits the success to preparation and one-on-one mentoring. Faculty are frequently in their offices with their doors open. Their students know they care, she said.

“Our professors are very handson,” Templeton said. “They know our students, and they work with our students.”

The University was also among top performers in the K-6 science subtest.

Seventy-six percent of test-takers from PBA passed the exam on their first attempt, the third-highest percentage of all private colleges and universities in Florida, according to the state Department of Education.

PBA requires students to pass the state exams before student teaching, Templeton said.

Faculty are purposeful about preparing students for the standards against which they’ll be measured, Templeton said. Plus, they’re passionate about what they teach.

“We like our subject areas, and we’re excited about sharing that with our students,” she said.

Lynn’s Brous, Grib Earn SSC Weekly Awards

Lynn University’s Dryden Brous (men’s lacrosse) and Ulyana Grib (women’s tennis) were both named Sunshine State Conference (SSC) Players of the Week on Monday.

Brous won 26-of-29 faceoffs for Lynn, collecting a program-record 25 ground balls against Westminster (Utah). His 84.0 winning percentage on the season ranks first in all of DivisionII as do his 18 ground balls per game.

Grib, ranked 16th in ITA D-II, defeated Isabela Paixao of Ferris

State 6-1, 6-1. The senior from Minsk, Belarus led her match at No. 1 singles against Division-I Long Island University’s Sofiya Kuzina before Lynn clinched the 4-0 sweep. She and her No. 1 doubles partner Valeriya Pogrebnyak, also swept both of their opponents by identical 6-1 scores.

Brous, a senior from Ocean City, Md., earns his SSC record-setting 13th weekly award. For Grib, it is her first-ever weekly honor.

SSC Cancels All Spring 2020 League Competitions and Championships

In alignment with yesterday’s NCAA Board of Governors Resolution, the Sunshine State Conference has canceled all league competitions and championships for the spring 2020 semester, effectively immediately. Member institutions will exercise institutional discretion as to practice and regularseason non-conference competition in all sports for the spring 2020 semester. This decision was unanimously agreed upon by the SSC Presidents Council and SSC Athletic Directors Council with the health, safety, and wellness of our student-athletes, coaches, administrators, and campus communities in mind.

Founded in 1975, the Sunshine State Conference has risen from a single sports organization to the Division II “Conference of National Champions.”

Since its inception, the conference has shown steady growth in sports played,

membership, and national prominence.

Member institutions have won a total of 106 NCAA national championships across 12 sports. During the 2017-18 academic year, SSC schools won three national titles and achieved an NCAA Division II best 86% Academic Success Rate.

The SSC consists of 11 member institutions, all within the state of Florida: Barry University (Miami Shores), Eckerd College (St. Petersburg), EmbryRiddle Aeronautical University (Daytona Beach), Florida Institute of Technology (Melbourne), Florida Southern College (Lakeland), Lynn University (Boca Raton), Nova Southeastern University (Ft. Lauderdale), Palm Beach Atlantic University (West Palm Beach), Rollins College (Winter Park), Saint Leo University (Saint Leo), and the University of Tampa.

Boca Raton FC (COVID-19) update

Boca Raton Football Club fully supports the decision of the National Premier Soccer League, United Premier Soccer League, and the United States Adult Soccer Association to suspend all soccer activities until at least March 31 due to COVID-19. At that time, we will reevaluate with both USASA, NPSL, UPSL, and the United States Soccer Federation to determine the next steps.

The suspension includes all affiliated league and tournament play and team practices, open tryouts, and in-person gatherings.

The safety of players and staff is of the utmost importance to the Club and remains the top priority at this time.

During this public health crisis, the Club remains in contact with all necessary of-

ficials for guidance and updates.

“Our top priority as a Club is the health and safety of everyone. We are clearly dealing with an unprecedented health crisis and remain committed to keeping everyone within our Club and community safe,” Boca Raton FC president Douglas Heizer said. “We will continue to work with local, and state health officials in monitoring the situation.”

Boca Raton FC is committed to the health and well-being of its players, coaches, staff, and families. We’ll continue to actively monitor the situation and, as always, we encourage players and families to practice repeated and proper CDC hygiene procedures on and off the field.

Tusculum defeated the Sailfish tandem of Gabriella Aziz and Kayleigh Hall in a hard-fought three-set match, winning 17-15 in the final set.

From that point on, the Sailfish were able to roll in four consecutive matches against the Pioneers. Emma Pieper and Jessica Nodell were victors at the No. 5 position in straight sets 21-19, 21-14 while Lyndzey Minter and Sydney Wagner breezed to a 21-9, 21-15 win. Coleen
