Teachers in Palm Beach County are lobbying for schools to stay closed this fall

• The Achievement Centers for Children and Families (ACCF), established in 1969 and serves 900 local children and families annually from three locations in Delray Beach, reports overwhelming response to its meal program that launched on March 23. The organization has partnered with local restaurants and community agencies to provide breakfast, lunch and dinner to local families. Thus far, they have been able to provide 3500 meals, including 1100 dinners, 900 lunches & 1500 breakfasts and, last Friday, were able to provide two rolls of toilet paper to each family. • Farm Share, one of Florida’s leading food nonprofits, in partnership with Miami Marlins Foundation and Ark of the City are teaming up to host a distribution of food and supplies to South Floridians with food security needs during the coronavirus pandemic. The abrupt and ongoing interruption of business in various industries caused by COVID-19 has increased demand for food distributions to support Floridians. With the help of the Miami Marlins Foundation and Ark of The City, Farm Share is slated to feed 500 local households on Wednesday, April 15. • In response to the “stay at home” orders affecting so many worldwide, The Unicorn Children’s Foundation is pivoting to provide virtual supports and resources to people with special needs and their families. The Foundation is seeking partners to provide virtual programs to a population who typically suffer from social isolation. Now is the time to take advantage of technology and ensure families have access to information, guidance, learning, and social opportunities. • Just one day before receiving a letter from the City of Boca Raton that announced the closure of all nonessential and commercial businesses until further notice due to the coronavirus pandemic, Florida Atlantic University merchandise store, It’s Owl Time, officially announced it would be permanently closing its store near the middle of May. • As Florida Atlantic University has already announced that classes will continue

Community Palm Beach State College releases plan to return to campus

Palm Beach State College has released its plan to return to campus in the fall. The three-phase plan includes detailed measures to keep students and employees safe while also continuing to deliver a quality academic experience and strong student support services. It calls for a flexible mixture of remote, hybrid (partially in-person and partially online) and some completely face-toface courses, particularly for labs and career programs that can’t convert to remote instruction. It also includes a staggered return and scheduling approach for employees, although most employees who can effectively perform their duties remotely will continue to do so. “We are committed to providing a quality academic experience as we prepare for the fall semester,’’ said Ava L. Parker, J.D., president of PBSC. “Our plan assures our team, our students and their families that we have implemented a multitude of measures to keep them safe during these very difficult times.”

Each phase is designed to limit the number of students and employees on campus at the same time. Guests are encouraged to make an appointment before visiting a campus. The plan outlines strict protocol for handling possible exposure to COVID-19, including step-by-step notification and cleaning processes and contact tracing. It also includes prevention measures, including a mandatory mask requirement and prevention and workforce safety training, as well as frequent cleaning and advanced disinfecting procedures. “We are prepared and doing everything pursuant to CDC guidelines and above to ensure that all students, faculty and staff are safe,’’ said Dr. Delsa Bush, Security and Risk Management director, who also co-chairs the College’s Return to Campus Task Force of students, faculty and staff. “We’re doing everything to limit exposure.” To view the plan, visit www. palmbeachstate.edu/safety/covid-19.

Teachers in Palm Beach County are lobbying for schools to stay closed this fall

By: Trey Avant Palm Beach County’s teachers union President Justin Katz is lobbying for the school district to delay opening up schools to students for in-person learning. Katz is calling for the school board to enact a virtual instruction curriculum until it is safe to return to a more traditional learning experience. Katz mentioned South Florida’s rising number of COVID-19 infections make in-person instruction dangerous for both students and teachers. The school board plans to reopen the school district on August 10th.

The Classroom Teachers Association, which represents 12,500 teachers and counselors, has a very large number of educators who are over 60, putting them at greater risk from COVID-19. According to the Palm Beach Post, while the district will take the union’s concerns into consideration input from both parents and employees will factor into how the district will proceed with the school year. This month, Governor Ron DeSantis called for schools to fully reopen by fall, stating that virtual learning is ineffective and will stunt educational growth.

Teens will engage in workshops teaching still life painting, handmade journals, comic book illustration, jewelry making and design, and more. Adults can enjoy the museum’s evening and weekend workshops in photography, ceramics, drawing, and painting. In addition to the Open Studio Time, facilitated by resident art experts and featuring critique and discussion rather than direct instruction. Week one will include morning and afternoon sessions, such as their “True Colors in Nature” morning session where students will learn to identify color terms, color theory and learn how to blend, tint and shade with colors and to explore the world of color in nature. The Museum is committed to

the health and safety of all students, staff, and volunteers. In consideration of all participating the Boca Museum Art School will follow current guidelines set by the governor of the State of Florida and local authorities for social distancing. All classes will be limited to 10 students per room and there will be no rotating between rooms for activities. All classrooms will be sanitized and masks will be provided.

All students will be advised to use the hand sanitizing stations frequently that are placed in each classroom as well as throughout The Art School. Classes will begin July 6 and continue until August 14. For more information, all participants can visit their website. To register call 561-392-2503 or email artschool@bocamusuem.org.

Palm Beach County to Mail Masks to all Households By: Megan Mandatta

Palm Beach County Mayor Dave Kerner announced Friday that each household in Palm Beach County will receive two masks in the mail after the mandatory mask mandate took effect. Kerner cites a high number of at-risk elderly residents who need to be protected and to help slow the spread of COVID-19. A total of two masks are to be sent to 660,000 households- a total of 1.3

July 3 - July 9, 2020

million masks. 200,000 masks will be put in a reserve for any issues with the first delivery or for those that need additional equipment. According to a Sun Sentinel article, Kerner said “The distribution is a challenge… I’m pushing the pedal to the metal.” Kerner estimates this will cost $2.5 million. This move comes after the board of county officials mandated masks in all public, indoor spaces. The first violation can result in a fine of $250 with additional violations potentially costing $500.

Mason Slaine Donates $1.5 Million to Boca Raton Regional Hospital

By: Destiny Harris Philanthropist Mason Slaine recently donated $1.5 million dollars in support of Boca Raton Regional Hospital’s “Keeping The Promise” capital campaign. The Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization for Boca Raton Regional Hospital. Boca Raton Regional Hospital is an advanced, tertiary medical center (BRRH.com) with 400 beds, 2,800 employees, and more than 800 primary and specialty physicians on staff. The “Keeping the Promise” Campaign for Boca Raton Regional Hospital (BRRH)l is focused on funding an expansion to allow the Hospital to deliver the highest quality patient care and to keep pace with the rapid evolution of healthcare. The $250 million Keeping the Promise Campaign is the largest campaign in the hospital’s history. The Hospital’s campaign will provide essential resources that will drive innovation and excellence throughout Boca Regional, ultimately improving the region’s health, well-being, and quality of life for patients. “‘I believe in Keeping the Promise and in the next generation of healthcare, it will bring. I am proud to be part of it’” said Slaine. The BRRH has raised over $163 million dollars in proceeds with the help of contributions from Slaine and other notable Philanthropists who the Hospital depends on. This is not the first time Slaine has contributed to the hospital back in 2014, Slaine gifted the “Mason P. Slaine Courtyard” as part of the funding for the Marcus Neuroscience Center. The Neuroscience Center is a place where patients and guests can sit and enjoy the sun in a park structured area. Slaine served on both the Executive and Audit Committees since he joined the Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation in 2016. Slaine noticed a need in the community for new developments in the BRRH’s landscape of healthcare to help modernize and renovate the Hospital’s

www.bocaratontribune.com

campus. “When the hospital decided it needed a new main tower, I decided to gift the admissions center. I did this all to support the BRRH as it is desperately needed by the community and I always believe in giving back” said Slaine. To recognize Slaine’s donation, the new Patient Admissions Area in the new patient tower will be named in his honor. “Our community’s healthcare is vital, and that has been particularly understated in the last few months as we all navigate through COVID-19,” said Slaine. “ I am proud and in awe of the doctors and staff who have gone way beyond the call of duty.” It will take a few years for the full reconstruction of the hospital to be completed. After reconstruction, the hospital will double in capacity and create a state of the art environment to help care for patients. Major campus redevelopment plans include at the centerpiece, a new patient tower featuring all-new surgical suites, an inviting patient lobby, and all private patient rooms exceeding the latest safety standards for patient care. The Marcus Neuroscience Institute staff and capital investments are underway targeting all neuroscience programs with an emphasis on neurovascular/stroke, central nervous system, tumor, spine, and epilepsy/seizure disorders. All existing rooms in the current hospital building will be converted to private for all patient units. A new 972-car parking garage opened recently and will be connected to the Marcus Neuroscience Institute and the new tower when construction is complete. These investments are the initial steps toward an even broader vision for the campus with greater access points and even more specialties including a new Medical Arts Pavilion with an outpatient surgery center, physician offices, and an additional parking garage. Slaine recently endowed the portico at Temple Beth El, located at 333 SW 4th Ave, in Boca Raton and he plans to do more for the community beyond the hospital, especially in “child services.”

EDITORIAL By C. Ron Allen

Protesters Hope to Send Clear Message by Marching, at the Polls It’s been nine days since the world watched a Minneapolis police officer kneeling on the neck of a handcuffed George Floyd in daylight, killing him in the middle of a downtown street as three fellow officers stood by and did nothing. The killing, which trails a depressing pattern in American history, triggered astonishing and inspiring nationwide protests over police racism and racial inequality as well as scattered incidences of violence and unrest in cities across the nation. In a symbolic show of support, a group of dismayed local residents are expected to exercise their First Amendment rights today and peacefully express their anger and sorrow. They will walk from Pompey Park, 1101 NW 2nd St., at 5 pm to West Atlantic Avenue. Arm in arm with police brass, they will continue east to City Hall, where they will voice their concerns about the social injustices that have reached a tipping point. A selected list of respected local residents and members of the clergy have been designated to share their views on the current unrest. Members of the public will also be allowed to speak for two minutes. These residents, while decrying the heinous acts, know that they must channel

their frustrations into actionable policies and reform. They each have different roles to play in the fight against systemic racism, but as was the consensus among the organizers recently, “it is important that we remain unified in our resolve.” Like me, they agree that the time to meet anger with action is now. It is understandable that some local residents are uneasy about the organization of a protest taking place in our city. Most of these protests are peaceful, but not all have been. In cities where they are not, police officers are often the target of that violence. Let us look at this protest, not as a sign of our city’s weakness but as a monument to its strength as a community that advocates on behalf of its residents. Delray Beach residents should be assured that what played out in Minneapolis between former Officer Derek Chauvin and Floyd is not likely to happen in their city. That’s because police Chief Javaro Sims has created a culture where his officers respect the residents, regardless of their zip code. Sims said he has provided diversity

and de-escalation training for his officers and has been listening to members of the African American community. Immediately after seeing the video, Sims was the first law enforcement official in Palm Beach County to publicly bemoan the act. “There is no training at this police department that teaches officers to take this kind of action. I believe the officers that stood around are just as guilty. It showed a complete disregard for human life,” he said. “At this police department, we will continue to build community trust and be willing to question and denounce actions that are wrong.” Since he was sworn in as chief last February, Sims had logged countless hours attending community forums and listening to residents’ concerns. That is an understatement as the Delray Beach Police Department, for years, has enjoyed a cordial relationship with members of the African American community. That was largely because of the community policing initiative that fostered relationships between the police and the community through sports and events. Like the thousands of protesters who exercised their right to peaceably

assemble as well as the right of free speech, today’s speakers want to vent, a rage born of despair. And their despair is from knowing that their government has failed them in times of need. Many progressive mayors and governors have been focusing on the urgent need for rapid, fundamental law enforcement reform. Still, most have been mum as rioters and looters rip apart their downtowns, further crippling many small businesses already wounded by the pandemic shutdown. Local leadership could never be more crucial than these days when residents are expecting one of local government’s most vital responsibilities: fighting crime and keeping people safe. I am comforted in knowing that the organizers realize that the issues won’t be solved by policing alone. They understand that real change is local and they hope to send the clear message by registering for the Census and at the ballot box. C. Ron Allen can be reached at crallen@DelrayBeachTribune.com or 561-6650151.

POSITIVE LIVING By Robert J. Tamasy

A Time to ‘Reboot’ How We Approach Our Work Being a confirmed “non-techie,” someone who does not understand the what’s and why’s of computer technology, I have a very simple strategy when my computer is not working right. I shut it down and restart it to “reboot” the system and software. Most of the time it works, resetting things so they work properly – even though I do not understand why. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit and began to spread around the world, virtually all of us were affected in a variety of ways. Our workplace schedules and routines were disrupted. Many found themselves either out of work temporarily or learning how to work from home. Lots of people suffered financial hardships because of reduced pay, or no income at all. Such global adversity was unprecedented and unexpected, but like my

July 3 - July 9, 2020

computer, when things are not functioning as usual, perhaps that was a signal for time to “reboot” – to shut down and make a fresh start. It occurred to me that for those who follow Jesus Christ in the marketplace, it might have become a time to reconsider our approach to our vocations. What are our motives, our purpose and objectives? Ephesians 2:10 declares, “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” And 1 Corinthians 3:9 states, “For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.” If that is true, what does it look like in a practical sense? I think portions from another passage, 2 Corinthians 5:14-20, give us clarification: “For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and

therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again…. All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were makin g his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.” There is much we can learn from this passage, but a central theme is that since Jesus Christ died on our behalf and reconciled us to God, we are called to represent Him to others – including those we encounter in the marketplace every day – as His ambassadors. Here are some key points we

www.bocaratontribune.com

might consider as we have this time to “reboot”: We are God’s workmanship. We each are unique persons, with a combination of gifts, talents, experience and passions unlike anyone else. We are to use them all for His glory. We are “His field, His building.” Countless people all around us, in offices and stores and manufacturing plants, need to hear the reconciling message of Jesus Christ. The fact that God has seen fit to place us where we are is evidence He wants us to represent Him there. We are the Lord’s ambassadors. An ambassador does not pursue his or her own agenda, but the goals and purposes of those being represented. In a similar way, in the marketplace we are to serve and represent our Lord, through our actions and our words.

ROBERT’S COMMUNITY REPORT

What Successful Executives Do Differently

By Robert Weinroth

Long Term Impact of COVID-19 Over the past few months, we’ve come to realize how our lives can be impacted by what occurs half way around the world. The heretofore little known city of Wuhan China (capital city of Hubei Province), will be forever linked with the misery caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic. With our daily routines shattered by multiple orders to self-isolate and suspend non-essential activities, we have adjusted to what can only be termed the “new normal” as we slowly resume activities while incorporating new safeguards to protect our health. The real question is what impacts this episode will have on our lives. Near term, the economic disruptions caused by putting the economy on pause will continue to reverberate as people who had been living on the edge (paying their bills but lacking a financial cushion to protect themselves from an unforeseen emergency) have been forced to seek a lifeline to maintain basic necessities of food and shelter. Notwithstanding the infusion of trillions on dollars into the economy by the federal government to forestall economic gridlock, employment, income and spending peaked in February and then went into freefall as the pandemic shut down businesses across the country, marking the start of the first US recession after a record breaking eleven years of economic growth. Our social services network has been pressed to the breaking point. Hospitals were unprepared for the onslaught of patients (lacking adequate personal protection equipment, respirators, staff and rooms). The state unemployment compensation program was ill equipped to deal with the unprecedented influx of new claims even with the supplemental funding provided by the federal government. Food insecurity, already an issue within our county, has become more critical. Were it not for the helping hands of our con-profit agencies, the urgent needs of our residents could not be answered. A future tsunami of mortgage foreclosures and evictions for tenants who have been protected by the Governor’s executive orders is likely to become a grim reality before the end of the year. But evidence of the rebound from the pandemic is already apparent. Businesses are beginning to reopen, albeit under a new set of guidelines being implemented to avoid creating a new surge of infections impacting people vulnerable to the complications associated with the virus. The question is how the pandemic will change our lives. Some changes (wearing face coverings and eschewing handshakes and hugs) will likely disappear, as people become more comfortable emerging from the government-imposed quarantine. Other changes (Plexiglas dividers, heightened attention to the need to sanitize

common surfaces and “social distancing”) are likely to remain a part of our environment — at least until a large portion of our residents develop “herd immunity” (after recuperating from the disease) or receive a vaccination, once developed. The disruption COVID-19 has caused to our lives is likely to have long-term consequences. Distance learning, virtual meetings and working remotely have been embraced for their efficiency. Schools and universities will be challenged to develop a hybrid of distance learning to use facilities more effectively while reintroducing personal contact between student and instructor. Employers and employees, having recognized the benefits (and shortfalls) of allowing employees greater freedom to work remotely, are more apt to embrace the continuation of this practice as it reduces the stress of commuting while prompting greater efficiencies in the allocation of business resources (e.g., space, equipment and real estate). People will be less willing to accept crowded cityscapes in the future. Being jammed into a bus our train is going to be a disquieting prospect for many after the rampant transmission of the virus linked to those modes of transpiration. Attendance at venues with a large number of people (e.g., theatres, stadiums, amusement parks and convention halls) will need to be reengineered to address people’s desire for greater social distancing. Shopping is also an activity that was already seeing a migration from in store to online purchases. The pandemic has only accelerated this move. The recent announced demise of several national retailers will likely be but the beginning of a continuing line of store closings and consolidations. Another industry that will need to address health and safety is hospitality. From the recreational amenities to the rooms, hotels will need to address concerns about maintaining a germ free environment. Likewise, airlines, which have been notorious for squeezing as many seats as possible into the flight cabin will now be confronted with the need to ensure adequate spacing between passengers. Even cruise lines will have a Herculean task of attracting passengers back to their decks. The prospect of being denied permission to disembark due to an onboard virus outbreak will cause many to avoid cruising until they can demonstrate a record of safety. Much has been written about the disruptive force autonomous vehicles will be when they predominate the roadways. However, the disruptive power of the experience we have endured during the current pandemic will likely have far greater long-term impacts on our society.

There is a simple principle that underscores a common pitfall in communications: “It is not what you say – it is EXACTLY what you say.” Failing to observe this can cause significant, even disastrous problems in business, as well as for relationships, as I learned all too clearly at an event I was overseeing. It was a major business luncheon for our organization, and the event had gotten off to a good start. But as the guests began to finish their salads, I noticed that no lunches were being served. Even though our program was about to start, there were no meals in sight! Our guests were eventually served, and the presentation went on as planned, but the delay caused considerable anxiety for our team, as well as for the hotel’s staff. Only later did I learn that I had signed contracts that clearly stated that our event was to be held from noon to 2 p.m., instead of our accustomed 11a.m-1 p.m Because of my error, failing to carefully read the documents for the events and not being able to correct the time difference, the hotel was understandably not prepared at our normal lunch time. We might regard this as a small miscommunication, but it proved extremely disconcerting to our meeting planners and could have disrupted an otherwise great event. Everything else on the contract was accurate – seating arrangement, number of guests expected, the menu, and other details. But a small miscommunication could have ruined everything. When we talk about communications, we typically focus on what is being said or written, along with how it is expressed. However, what is not said – in this case, confusion over the expected schedule for our event – can

www.bocaratontribune.com

be as critical for determining success or failure. I have found the Bible offers excellent insight into the perils of miscommunication. Realizing that what we say or don’t say can lead to wrongdoing. In Ecclesiastes 5:6 we read, “Do not let your speech cause you to sin…” Paying attention to details, and having people check your work can help prevent painful miscommunications, whether they are spoken or in written form. My intent was definitely not to delay the meal service, but lack of intent can still lead to unintended consequences. Responding to potential mistakes. If I had determined to be more diligent to check and even recheck important details, such as the obvious one about when we and the hotel agreed the meeting would be held, unnecessary inconvenience could have been avoided. “The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge; the ears of the wise seek it out” (Proverbs 18:15). Recognizing that even small details can lead to failure. In a beautiful Old Testament book we read an appropriate warning: “Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom” (Song of Solomon 2:15). The context of this admonition is not the marketplace, but the idea still applies. The “little foxes” we encounter during the course of any workday may seem inconsequential, but if not attended to properly, they can create more disruption than we could ever imagine. As it turned out, despite the delay in serving our guests, our event proceeded pretty much as planned However, the outcome of my miscommunication could have been very different, a lesson I never forgot.

Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach County Announces New Board Officers By: Destiny Harris The Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach County swore in new board officers including a Boca Raton Resident and Attorney, Matthew Criscuolo at its virtual annual meeting in June. The Literacy Coalition is a not for profit organization committed to ensuring that every resident of Palm Beach County, Florida is able to read. For over 31 years, the Coalition has worked hard to improve the quality of life in the community by promoting and achieving literacy. Before becoming Treasurer of the Literacy Coalition, Criscuolo volunteered back in 2017 to serve the board and help the community. “Education is so important to me. I think the ability to read opens so many doors and empowers people to grow and be successful” said Criscuolo. The new board officers include President Len Gray, Vice Presidents Laurie Gildan, and Nancy Vera, Secretary Bernadette O’Grady, Secretary Bernadette O’Grady, Harvey Oaxaca-Guzman and Parliamentarian Lynn Kalber. Due to COVID-19, the Coalition has faced challenges having to modify how they integrate the literacy programs to continue helping students and adults. Teachers are now using technology to communicate, teach, and support students in the family literacy programs in Belle Glade and Delray Beach. In addition, early learning specialists in the ParentChild+ program are using home apps to conduct home visits throughout the county, teaching toddlers with predelivered educational books and toys. So far the digital platform services provided by the Coalition have been working to serve the community safely according to Criscuolo. “I’m amazed at how well things have shifted from in-person to online only. I think the ability to provide our programs in-person is certainly the preference and hopefully something we can go back to as soon as it’s safe to do so again” said Criscuolo. Inspired by his soon-to-be

7-year-old daughter who he reads to every day, Criscuolo wanted to encourage children and adults in the community to develop the skills needed to live a better life. “It’s amazing to see first-hand, every day, how empowering reading is for her (his daughter). I know the Literacy Coalition works tirelessly to empower members of our community through promoting and achieving literacy throughout Palm Beach County” said Criscuolo. The Coalition supplies books to babies born at Boca Raton Regional Hospital and West Boca Medical Center encouraging parents to start their child’s own home library. The Literacy Coalition is currently providing trained tutors to help struggling first and second-grade readers at Boca Raton Elementary, Hammock Pointe Elementary, and JC Mitchell Elementary. They give books and training to pediatricians and their staff as part of the Reach Out and Read program at the CL Brumback primary care clinic. In addition, the Coalition has an after school and summer camp programming called Stories & STEM and Read! Lead! Succeed! For social-emotional learning through literature at the Florence Fuller Center and the Primary Learning Place. Criscuolo encourages local residents to volunteer by donating books, becoming a tutor, or participating in their many events and initiatives held throughout the year, including Read for the Record, Read Together, The Grand Bee, Loop for Literacy, Love of Literacy Luncheon, and Literacy Links Golf Tournament. “It does really improve the quality of life if you are a child or trying to get a better job as an adult something as simple as learning to read can make a big impact,” said Criscuolo. For more information on ways, residents can help support the Literacy Coalition visit their website https://www. literacypbc.org/.

Boca Helping Hands Issues “Protein Challenge” Expresses Thanks to Community Boca Helping Hands (BHH) clients could be taking home more meat for their families soon, thanks to a challenge grant from local charity Hands on Tzedakah (“HOT”). With HOT’s support, BHH has issued a $10,000 community “Protein Challenge” to help provide protein/meat to the families that it serves. BHH also wants to thank the community for donating food and funds to help meet the increased need for services during the COVID-19 crisis. Hands on Tzedakah will match the first $250 of any donation received by Boca Helping Hands from now through June 12 up to a total of $10,000, with funding going to purchase meat for clients’ pantry bags in June. HOT made an earlier contribution in April that allowed BHH to buy 5,750 pounds of wholesale nonperishable food, needed when food donations from local grocery store partners were down 75 percent. Boca Helping Hands has benefited from an overwhelming community response, with more than 120 individuals and 55 organizations contributing financially to BHH’s COVID-19 relief efforts, food pantry and hot meals during the pandemic. “Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, the demand for food has almost doubled for Boca Helping Hands’ feeding programs,” said Greg Hazle, executive director of Boca Helping Hands. “We deeply appreciate the community’s help in filling backpacks for food-insecure kids, providing meals for families trying to make ends meet during the pandemic, and funding job training for people who need new careers now that so many are out of work.” Major supporters have included

the Leslie L.

Bernstein Family Foundation, The Shumway Foundation, Purity Wholesale Grocers and the Ted A. Gardner Family Foundation. The Addison, The Dubliner Irish Pub (of Subculture Group) and Bucca have provided meals in order to meet the new demand of 300 hot lunches per day. Organizations, congregations, neighborhood associations and families have helped fill pantry bags by hosting fund-drives and food drives, including Spanish River Church (7,526 pounds – the new record for a Boca Helping Hands community food drive); NCCI (4,570 pounds); the Rotary Clubs of Downtown Boca Raton (2,311 pounds) and Boca Raton (2,308 pounds); and Woodfield Country Club (2,282 pounds). Other members of the community have contributed by starting GoFundMe and Facebook fundraisers, organizing races, hosting events and even selling masks, with proceeds going to Boca Helping Hands. “Our community has provided more than tangible assistance,” Hazle said. “It has been a source of inspiration knowing how much they want to help those of our neighbors in greatest need.”

Florida Atlantic University has had its campuses closed since mid-March due to the COVID-19 pandemic and with the school announcing that the summer semester will take place entirely online the hope for a traditional fall semester was uncertain. FAU President John Kelly announced Tuesday that the university’s plan for reopening for the fall 2020 semester has been approved by the State University System of Florida Board of Governors,. The board, which oversees 12 public universities, has already approved of reopening plans for all the other schools in the system including the University of Florida, Florida State University, and the University of Central Florida. The 25-page plan features facial coverings being required where social distancing is harder to enforce, including in classrooms, restrooms, elevators, and when using the shuttle buses FAU provides. Most classes will be online, including classes with more than 50 students and all graduate-level courses. Classrooms will be at 25% capacity and faculty, as well as students, will be required to adhere to social distancing while in classroms. FAU Student Health Services will continue testing both students and

staff for COVID-19 and individuals testing positive, along with anyone in contact with those individuals, will be subject to quarantine. Some students do not seem too excited about the prospect of continuing their education in an area where cases are surging “I feel as though FAU is limiting the overall collegiate experience by opening up and putting restrictions on campus life,” said FAU junior and communication studies major Jermane Rose. Events led by student organizations will be limited by attendance and location to accommodate social distancing. In campus recreation, capacity will be limited and fitness classes will be reduced. Virtual classes will continue. “The numbers have risen dramatically and I honestly don’t think the school should reopen on campus… There are too many unknown factors that can’t really be controlled,” said FAU sophomore and political science major Eric Young. The residence halls will be occupied at 96% capacity and will isolate students to one of 112 single rooms on the Boca Raton campus or one of 12 single rooms on the Jupiter campus if the need arises. Florida is, as of June 26th, currently at 122,960 total cases while FAU’s fall semester is scheduled to begin August 22nd.

Applications Now Open For Nonprofits To Secure Share Of $1 Million

Quantum Foundation is now accepting applications for grassroots nonprofits in Palm Beach County to receive their share of $1 million! This year marks the 10th annual Quantum in the Community initiative to help local nonprofits working toward a healthier Palm Beach County by meeting the basic needs of residents through food, clothing, shelter, transportation, and more. This year, due to the coronavirus, the money will be awarded in two disbursements. To answer immediate needs of grassroots organizations in the county, $250,000 will be given out with those recipients announced July 31.The rest of the $750,000 to be awarded in the fall. Quantum leaders say the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed health inequity as well as the impacts of social determinants of health. “Health is not simply the absence of illness; it is a positive state of physical and mental well-being,” said Eric Kelly, president of Quantum Foundation. “Our Quantum in the Community program has been addressing the needs of disinvested communities for 10 years. Those communities need us now more than ever to continue providing culturally competent care and basic needs. Health equity is our way forward.” Strict criteria are set up for those nonprofits applying: - Organization must be registered as a

501(c)(3). - Organization must have been working in Palm Beach County for at least six months. Annual operating budget may not exceed $500,000. - Organization must provide basic needs like food, clothing, shelter, utilities, and transportation to the county’s most vulnerable residents. A committee of Quantum Foundation staff and board members will carefully consider each application. To learn more, visit the Quantum Foundation website at www.quantumfnd.org. All applications must be submitted using the foundation’s online system by the July 20 deadline. Quantum Foundation’s mission is to fund initiatives that improve the health of Palm Beach County residents. In 1998, Quantum Foundation marked its rookie year as one of Palm Beach County’s newest and largest philanthropic organizations with an impressive $7.6 million granted to more than 40 Palm Beach County projects. Just over 20 years later, with assets of approximately $155 million, the organization’s focus remains on keeping Palm Beach County healthy. Their awards to date total more than $145 million and have impacted hundreds of local nonprofit organizations. Every dollar the foundation grants continues to stay in the county to benefit local communities.

Perry will begin his new role starting today. Perry brings with him broad experience in academic leadership, applied research, grant funding, development, PK12 education, and mental health practice. “The Wilkes Honors College is witnessing rapid, progressive changes, from the growth of its student body to new degree tracks and expanded research partnerships with Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience and Scripps Research,” said Bret Danilowicz, Ph.D., provost and vice president for academic affairs at FAU. “Based on his administrative experiences and drive for success, Dr. Perry is the right leader to leverage this array of new opportunities for FAU students and faculty.” Perry served as dean of the School of Education, Ewing Marion Kauffman/ Missouri Endowed Chair, and professor of counseling and educational psychology at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.

Lynn University’s men’s and women’s swimming programs both earned Scholar All-America status from the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) in recognition of their academic excellence during the spring semester. The men’s program notched its second CSCAA Scholar All-America recognition while the women’s program gained this recognition for the 14th straight semester. On the women’s side, Lynn posted a 3.69 cumulative grade point average (GPA) while Lynn’s men posted a 3.61 GPA. “No team was unaffected by this spring’s pandemic but Athletic Director

Devin Crosby and President Ross can and should be proud of their team and the work of Niki,” said CSCAA Executive Director Greg Earhart. Lynn was one of 461 schools to receive the award for the spring semester. Teams were selected based on their spring grade point averages and represent 17,982 student-athletes. To earn the honor, teams were required to post a GPA of 3.0 or higher for the spring semester and maintain a roster of 12 or more student-athletes. Lynn’s women’s program has received Scholar All-America Team recognition every semester since the Fall of 2013.
