Place of Hope’s Transitional Housing Nears Completion

In Boca Raton, there is now more affordable, transitional housing for those most at-risk of becoming homeless, falling prey to human trafficking and/or suffering the effects of hopelessness.

Thanks to a community effort of giving, the Gary Peters Transitional Housing Complex, as part of the renamed Marshall and Vera Lea Rinker Village, will provide 16 beds to aged-out foster youth and homeless, single mothers.

The affordable housing complex is another step toward Place of Hope’s larger plan of creating more transitional, supportive residences for people who seek a better life for themselves and their children.

“This program focuses mainly on 18-year-olds who, due to a lack of affordable, transitional housing, are most at-risk of not finishing school and falling through the cracks,” said lead donor and longtime philanthropist Peters, for whom the building is named. Peters is partnering with Place of Hope Founding CEO Charles L. Bender III to Story on Page 9

Community Russell receives Anchor Award from Best Foot Forward

Dr. Bernadette Russell, Palm Beach State College’s vice president of elearning and instructional technology and Boca Raton campus provost, has received the inaugural Anchor Award from Best Foot Forward.

The Boca Raton-based nonprofit organization, which provides academic support and advocacy for about 200 foster care students from kindergarten to college each year, tapped Russell for the award because of her strong support since its founding nearly 10 years ago. The award was presented during Best Foot Forward’s first-ever Sole Mate Luncheon held Oct. 22 at Boca Grove Country Club. It was presented by Frank Barbieri, Jr. who is a founding board member of Best Foot Forward and also chairman of the Palm Beach County School Board. Also honored were David Sarris, a PBSC alumnus who is now pursuing a master’s degree in social work at Florida State University, and Twiler Smith, a foster parent.

Donna Biase and Debbie Ellman, who co-founded the organization in January 2010, said that without the support of Russell and PBSC they would not be able to achieve their goal of helping students obtain an education. They said nationally, the high school graduation rate for foster youth is 46% and the college graduation rate is 3%. However, locally they have seen many successes. Twelve of their students have completed a college education. The majority of them attended Palm Beach State.

“When we enroll students, they come with a lot of different challenges. It requires a strong partnership of working together to be able to work through all the obstacles and barriers,’’ Ellman said. “Dr. Russell is the one that makes that happen. She sets the tone for that partnership. She is like our liaison to the whole College.”

“Whatever it is that our needs are, she and her counterparts and staff are right there making sure we get to the right sources that can solve our issues,’’ Biase said. “Nothing is too small or too

big of a problem.”

Russell said she is pleased to help the vital program, especially given that most of the students attend PBSC. “For this reason, it is a special community partnership that provides access to education and success to individuals who otherwise would not have received an education.”

Russell, a seasoned academic and community leader with more than 20 years of higher education experience at the community college, private college and university level, joined the PBSC administration in September 2017.

A native of the Philippines, she came to the United States in 1975 as an international student at Syracuse University, where she earned a master’s degree in urban and regional planning and a Ph.D. in social sciences with a focus on economics and planning. She also holds a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in economics from the Philippines. Before coming to the U.S., she worked as an economist for the United Nations Development Programme in the Philippines.

She has participated locally in collaborative efforts to deliver economic development and workforce education in the region, eLearning course delivery and academic computing, as well as long-term involvement in providing international experiences to college students and the business community with the intention of promoting a sense of social responsibility to a global community.

In addition to community engagement in a wide array of organizations, she is also a member of the Office Depot Foundation Board and the planning team for the Women’s Symposium.

Russell has been recognized as the recipient of a Fulbright scholarship to Germany, the Chancellor’s Award for “Professional Excellence” from the State University of New York and a fellowship to the Harvard University Management Development Program. She is a 2016 recipient of the Atlantic Institute Board of Directors Leadership Award.

Office Depot Distributes Over $2.5 Million in Supplies to Underserved Schools Nationwide

Office Depot, Inc. (NASDAQ:ODP), a leading B2B integrated distribution platform of business services and supplies, recently distributed over $2.5 million in school supplies to help tens of thousands of students and teachers go “Back to School Proud” this year through philanthropic programs focused on empowering education and supporting schools in underserved communities.

Through its Start Proud!® community investment program, Office Depot donated more than 18,000 brandnew backpacks filled with school supplies, valued collectively at over $1.5 million, to students at 18 Title I elementary schools nationwide.

One esteemed teacher at each of the selected schools was also recognized with over $1,500 worth of premium supplies, including a computer and classroom furniture. Office Depot’s Start Proud!® initiative was created to make a substantial difference in the lives of students, parents and teachers at Title I schools, by ensuring they receive the supplies they need to succeed throughout the school year.

Since launching the program in 2018, the company has donated nearly 40,000 fully stocked backpacks and distributed more than 100 pallets of classroom supplies – enough to fill four semi-trailer trucks – to schools throughout the country.

“Office Depot is committed to championing education and helping

students and teachers thrive in the communities we serve by providing them with the supplies and resources they need to be successful,” said Gerry Smith, chief executive officer for Office Depot, Inc. “Since launching the Start Proud!® program in 2018 with 10 Title I beneficiary schools, we’re pleased to have expanded our reach by 80% for the 2019-2020 school year.”

Office Depot also leveraged its retail footprint of approximately 1,300 Office Depot® and OfficeMax® store locations to provide customers with the opportunity to give back to their communities through an in-store school supply drive. Through the generosity of its customers, Office Depot donated over $1.2 million in school supplies to Title I schools across the country.

Customers can help to support schools year-round through Office Depot’s Give Back to Schools Program.

To participate, customers simply make a purchase of qualifying school supplies in-store, online at OfficeDepot.com, or by phone at 1-800-GO-DEPOT (800463-3768) and provide the school's name or ID at checkout. The designated school will then receive 5% back in credits for free supplies. Office Depot has issued more than $32.5 million in credits, since the program began in 2002.

NCCI Raises Over $230,000 For Annual United Way Giving Campaign

NO MORE GUTTER CLEANING, OR YOUR MONEY BACK – GUARANTEED

0

The National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) recently wrapped up its annual United Way Giving campaign, raising over $230,000 for the United Way of Palm Beach County and donating 1,000 hygiene bags to Adopt A Family and HomeSafe, two local nonprofit organizations that support children and families in Palm Beach County.

This year’s campaign theme, “Hope Through Homes” was chosen to support the fight against housing insecurity in Palm Beach County.

NCCI worked with the United Way of Palm Beach County to ensure that the county’s vulnerable citizens struggling to obtain access to housing receive the resources they need to succeed.

Senior Regulatory Business Analyst Allen Boyd II helmed this year’s campaign as NCCI’s United Way Chairman and could not be more pleased with the results.

“No one should ever have to wonder where they will sleep at night” says Boyd. “Our team is proud to know that the money raised and supplies donated during our “Hope Through Homes” campaign will make a positive impact on the lives of Palm Beach County’s citizens in need.”

NCCI’s United Way Giving campaign is part of the company’s charitable initiative, NCCI Cares.

Employees receive 40 paid hours annually to volunteer for causes of their choice, plus eight additional hours to participate in companywide charitable events.

“NCCI’s commitment to giving back encourages everyone at our company to get involved and be the change they want to see in our community,” said Chief Human Resources Officer Bradley Kitchens “Our employees are the embodiment of our philanthropic mission and it means the world to see them devote their time and energy to helping vulnerable citizens in our county.”

Bicyclist Near Boca Raton was New Augmented, Virtual Reality Struck and Killed by Amtrak Train Lab Brings Imagination to Life for FAU Students

On Wednesday, it was reported that a bicyclist was struck and killed by an Amtrak train.

The fatal crash took place around 12:49 p.m. at the SW 18th Street crossing.

The Amtrak train was headed northbound to New York at the time.

Investigators recently identified the bicyclist as 60-year-old Steven Weinstein. Weinstein was killed by the Amtrak train when he attempted to duck

under the gate arm and ended up getting knocked unconscious and onto the tracks.

According to WPTV, Kimberly Woods the spokeswoman for Amtrak stated that Train 92 came in contact with a person who was on the track.

No customers or crew members were hurt and the train resumed service at 3:43 p.m.

Amtrak is still further investigating the situation with local law enforcement.

Florida Atlantic University has opened “The Portal,” a new lab in the S.E. Wimberly Library which will serve as a collaborative space specifically focused on augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). Helping to bring innovative technology into the library, The Portal is equipped with Magic Leap One, HTC Vive Eye Pro, and Oculus Quest technology.

“It is a place where imagination comes alive through the use of VR and AR,” said Carol Hixson, dean of University Libraries. “The Portal will provide students from any discipline and background with the opportunity to learn about and help shape the future of their respective fields.”

Magic Leap is a Florida-based technology company that has developed a spatial computing platform that seamlessly integrates digital into your physical environment.

Trevor Rose, staff member at the S.E. Wimberly Library, oversees The Portal, and developed an AR game that was added to the Magic Leap World store.

“As new technologies continue to mature, it’s crucial that students get the

opportunity to be involved in bringing their ideas to fruition,” said Rose. “We want to give everybody the chance to apply their creativity and personal experience toward the development of this new medium.”

The Portal was opened in partnership with the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science’s Machine Perception & Cognitive Robotics (MCPR) laboratory.

The MCPR lab is led by co-directors Elan Barenholtz and William Edward Hahn and educates students from high school to Ph.D. studies in the cutting-edge techniques of artificial intelligence.

“VR and AR are going to be transformative technologies across many disciplines and industries, but the vast majority of students have never directly experienced these technologies while an even smaller number have had a chance and to actively engage with them and develop with them,” said Barenholtz.

The Portal is connected with the Rubin and Cindy Gruber Sandbox which will expand the MCPR lab in the library.

Boca’s Bernadette Russell: A Champion for Foster Kids

For many youths in the foster care system, life is a myriad of emotional issues - often snatched and shuffled between homes and across school zones without any notice - and many teachers are simply not equipped to handle their challenges.

One local educator is being lauded for her effort to ensure the foster care students on her campus are prepared for academic achievement and success after college.

The Boca Raton-based nonprofit organization Best Foot Forward recently awarded Dr. Bernadette Russell, Palm Beach State College’s vice president of elearning and instructional technology, with the inaugural Anchor Award for going that extra mile.

Donna Biase and Debbie Ellman, who co-founded the organization nine years ago, said that without Russell and the college’s support, they would not be able to achieve their goal of helping students earn an education.

While the high school graduation rate for foster youth is 46 percent, only 3 percent finish college, they said.

That number may be higher because most state education departments,

including Florida, are not required to communicate with child welfare agencies about which students are in foster care.

Locally, there are some success stories.

Twelve of the students in Best Foot Forward have completed college and most of them attended Palm Beach State.

Studies show that roughly onethird of foster care students change schools at least five times before they reach adulthood. Each time that student changes a school, they fall four to six months behind, according to data collected by the Legal Center for Foster Care and Education.

“When we enroll students, they come with a lot of different challenges. It requires a strong partnership of working together to be able to work through all the obstacles and barriers,’’ Ellman said in a news release. “Dr. Russell is the one that makes that happen. She sets the tone for that partnership. She is like our liaison to the whole College.”

When it comes to learning, Dr. Russell, who also is the provost of the Boca Raton campus, has a “by any means necessary” attitude.

“Whatever it is that our needs are, she and her counterparts and staff are

right there making sure we get to the right sources that can solve our issues. Nothing is too small or too big of a problem,” said Biase, whose organization has served more than 200 children since its inception.

I have worked with Dr. Russell on a few youth and community-related projects since she joined the college family in 2007. Forging community partnerships has always been high on her agenda, and she is a fierce advocate for educational access to all students, in particularly, those who are marginalized.

An out-of-the box thinker, she is always cooking up ideas to challenge and empower our youth, especially those that offer a global perspective.

This is evidenced by the collegewide International Education Center - housed at the Boca Raton campus - where students broaden their horizons by studying abroad.

The Philippine native sees the program as an opportunity to enhance and open windows to the world for her students, experiences she thinks will eventually be memorable for the rest of their lives.

“For this reason, it is a special community partnership that provides access

to education and success to individuals who otherwise would not have received an education,” she said in the release.

Addition to her engagement in several organizations, she is a member of the Office Depot Foundation Board and the planning team for the Women’s Symposium.

She has amassed an impressive collection of awards for her civic involvement. Her academic accomplishments are equally impressive: a Fulbright scholarship to Germany, the Chancellor’s Award for Professional Excellence from the State University of New York and a fellowship to the Harvard University Management Development Program. Additionally, she is a 2016 recipient of the Atlantic Institute Board of Directors Leadership Award.

Dr. Russell understands that as a community, we have a unique responsibility for students in foster care.

A judge has determined that their parents can’t take care of them and has made them a dependent of the state. Therefore, they are all our children and she is doing her part to empower them.

Pondering And Preparing Proper Plans

What are your plans for 2019? Are you wanting to grow your business? Do you desire a promotion, or to find a new, more rewarding job? Maybe you want to make a complete career change? Or perhaps your greatest aspiration is to become an improved version of you?

As another calendar year reaches its conclusion, it is time for many of us to again engage in two traditional activities: reviewing the past year, and planning for the new one. Planning has one advantage over reviewing. We cannot change the past, we can only assess it. In planning, however, we can start fresh, determining what we want to do, when, how, where, and even why.

One common element of planning is the setting of goals. From a business standpoint, in light of what has transpired over the past year, as well as expectations for the future, we can formulate plans for

November 1 - November 7, 2019

achieving certain levels of profit, productivity and growth. Plans are also useful, of course, on an individual level. We can establish goals for personal and professional growth and advancement, assessing where we are and where we would like to be at some point in the future.

We might wish to build on accomplishments over the last 12 months, or pursue important changes for the attainment of goals that have remained beyond our reach. The adage says, “You’re either getting better or getting worse,” so we strategize about how to get better in future days, months and years.

Countless articles and books have been written about effective goal-setting and planning, but they rarely take into account teachings and guidelines presented in the Bible. These can be especially helpful for understanding the “why” of our goals

and plans. So to assist as we engage in this annual process, here are just some examples to consider:

Wealth. For many people, affluence is a major goal, the ability to attain a desired lifestyle. The Scriptures advise keeping a proper, realistic perspective. “Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint. Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle” (Proverbs 23:4-5).

Excellence. We should continually strive to do the best work we possibly can, not for our own benefit, but also in recognition of who we represent and ultimately serve. “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Ephesians 2:10). “Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord

www.bocaratontribune.com

rather than for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve”(Colossians 3:23-24).

Correct focus. How can we be confident that our goals are well-conceived?

How can we be certain the plans we formulate are coming from the right motivations? “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you as well” (Matthew 6:33).

Humility. In setting goals, we rarely consider virtues, such as humility.

However, in many cases this is a quality that ensures enduring success. “Humility and the fear of the Lord bring wealth and honor and life” (Proverbs 22:4).

Broadway Live at Pompano Cultural Center

Shining Like Stars in the Marketplace

I attended the opening night show of Broadway Live at the Pompano Cultural Center, a musical directed by Shari Upbin to benefit “Insight for the Blind”. A large crowd enjoyed nine delightful singers showcasing many songs from top Broadway musicals. A lovely cocktail reception was held prior to the show. All in all a very enjoyable evening with great talented people!

Years ago, we hosted Michael Franzese as one of our event speakers. Franzese, who spent nine years in prison, explained his incarceration was the consequence of following a code of ethics. Not someone else’s code of ethics, or a society’s code of ethics, but his own, personally adopted code of ethics.

As a former member of the notorious Mafia crime syndicate, Michael believed in, and followed, the Machiavellian code of ethics until his spiritual conversion. Niccolo Machiavelli was an Italian Renaissance historian, philosopher and writer. His last name spawned the negative term, “Machiavellianism.” In Machiavelli’s book, The Prince, this characterized highly unscrupulous politicians. Heessentially taught that anything is acceptable for pursuing self-interest and personal gain.

This was the same perspective Franzese used to justify his actions before his life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ. If victimized by his crimes, however, I doubt you would have had an appreciation for his personalized code of ethics or how he rationalized the wrongful deeds for which he later repented.

Sadly, we see similar beliefs and behavior in much of the business and professional world. You can learn a lot of things in today’s business schools, but one thing you cannot learn is a universally agreed-upon code of ethics.

It’s almost like in the days of ancient Israel, referred to in Judges 21:25 – “In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.”

Although we do not hear the term as much these days, business gurus used to speak of “situational ethics,” meaning to do whatever seemed appropriate at the moment for whatever

www.bocaratontribune.com

goal or objective you desired to accomplish. Not much has changed today.

Many people in the marketplace believe honesty and integrity are necessary only when it is expedient and serves their purposes.

Is it any wonder that almost daily we hear or read news reports of gross ethical violations even at the top levels of some of our world’s most prestigious businesses and corporations? Without accepted standards for behavior and practice, everyone feels free to do what seems right in their own eyes. This is why the timeless teachings and truths of the Bible provide the most reliable guidelines:

Wrongdoing will be punished.

As Franzese discovered, believing one’s actions are justified does not give protection from consequences. “There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death”(Proverbs 14:12). “Food gained by fraud tastes sweet to a man, but he ends up with a mouth full of gravel” (Proverbs 20:17).

God presents the ultimate standard. Our young people are being trained that truth is relative, that they should not judge others – and that others should not judge them. If we imagine communities filled with Machiavellians, we quickly see the flaw in that logic. “Honest scales and balances are from the Lord; all the weights in the bag are of his making” (Proverbs 16:11).

Honesty and integrity provide security. If we strive to be honest in all our dealings, there is no need to conceal deceptions. “The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity” (Proverbs 11:3).

Place of Hope’s Transitional Housing for Former Foster Youth and Homeless Single Mothers Nears Completion

In Boca Raton, there is now more affordable, transitional housing for those most at-risk of becoming homeless, falling prey to human trafficking and/or suffering the effects of hopelessness.

Thanks to a community effort of giving, the Gary Peters Transitional Housing Complex, as part of the renamed Marshall and Vera Lea Rinker Village, will provide 16 beds to aged-out foster youth and homeless, single mothers.

The affordable housing complex is another step toward Place of Hope’s larger plan of creating more transitional, supportive residences for people who seek a better life for themselves and their children.

“This program focuses mainly on 18-year-olds who, due to a lack of affordable, transitional housing, are most at-risk of not finishing school and falling through the cracks,” said lead donor and longtime philanthropist Peters, for whom the building is named. Peters is partnering with Place of Hope Founding CEO Charles L. Bender III to be able to provide vocational training to residents through his nonprofit organization, Boca Helping Hands.

The completion of the Gary Peters Transitional Housing Complex, which is scheduled for December 2019 is the first building on the Marshall and Vera Lea Rinker Village, which will ultimately comprise four buildings. The four complexes will provide safe housing, counseling from the adjacent Place of Hope centers, and a safe environment.

Each building will have eight units, and the expanded campus will be able to accommodate approximately 64 beds in total. The overall Leighan and David Rinker campus will eventually provide more than 100 beds.

“When we first established Place of Hope at the Leighan and Davide Rinker Campus in 2013, the demand for affordable, transitional housing in our area was evident, as we started managing the influx of applications to live on our campus,” Bender said. “It was clear that a key obstacle to self-sufficiency and a key driver of homelessness – whether you’re exiting foster care, graduating high school, recovering from addiction or fleeing domestic abuse and human trafficking – was the lack of housing and support services, such as what we were already providing at Place of Hope. We needed more homes that people could afford to live in.

“Thanks to this group of caring people, who are community leaders for just that reason – because they care – together, we are transforming a bold vision for truly affordable supportive and transitional housing into a hope-filled achievement. There is nothing quite like it locally.”

The Homeless Point-in-Time Count, which took place during a 24-hour period Jan. 26 and 27, 2017, throughout Palm Beach County, identified that 1,607 individuals and families were homeless and staying in places not meant for human habitation, in emergency shelters or in a transitional housing program. The Count found increases in the chronically homeless population, as well as in youth ages 18 to 24 and in the elderly population.

Marilyn Munoz, executive director of the Homeless Coalition, was quoted at the time as saying, “this is due in large part because of the high cost of rentals in our communities. If you're receiving the minimum social security, you can't cover all your expenses like rent, medications, food, bills, etc.”

Predicting the potential role of organizations such as Place of Hope, Munoz was quoted as saying, “going forward, we will see more public/private partnerships addressing this issue. We all need to get together to talk about housing in Palm Beach County. If you have affordable housing, people aren’t homeless.”

In 2018, local media outlets reported that just 55.9 percent of homes sold in Palm Beach County in the fourth quarter of 2017 were affordable for a median-income family, according to the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo affordability index. That was the lowest level of affordability since 2008. The index is based on a median home price of $255,000, a figure that includes houses and condos, and a median income of $67,900.

“We owe a great deal of gratitude and appreciation to the visionary lead donors and supporters who have enabled us to open the Gary Peters Transitional Housing Complex within budget and without a mortgage,” Bender said.

“Place of Hope is a responsible steward of our donors’ investments and works to ensure a zero-debt structure on our infrastructure projects.”

Through his Gary Peters Family Foundation, Peters gave Place of Hope the lead donation of $500,000. Peter’s friend, the late Arthur Remillard, donated $100,000. Other key supporters are The Marshall E. Rinker Sr. Foundation, Jay DiPietro and Sharon DiPietro, Florida Chapter of Club Managers Association of America (FLCMAA) Seminole Region, Impact 100 Palm Beach County, Jeff Stoops and Aggie Stoops/Stoops Family Foundation, The Coulombe Family Foundation, The Asofsky Family Foundation, The Lester J. Woerner Family, James Batmasian and Marta Batmasian, Arthur Adler, Boca West Children’s Foundation, Greg Kino, GL Homes, Joe Seta and Karen Seta, and The Boca Rio Foundation.

In the midst of all the new Bill proposals to ring in the New Year, the School District of Palm Beach County may file a lawsuit against the vaping product, Juul.

Vaping has become one of the biggest issues among the millennial generation that the School District hopes to combat.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show 34 vaping-related deaths and 1,604 vaping-related illnesses in America just this year.

Thus, the goal of this litigation

www.bocaratontribune.com

would be to somehow steer students away from vaping.

The lawsuit would be of no cost to the school district and if they receive a settlement from Juul Labs, Inc then 75 percent of it will go to the school district while the other 25 percent would be for the law firms representing the district.

According to WPTV, the School Board will discuss a potential lawsuit against Juul Labs Inc. at a board meeting on Wednesday.

Pathway Produces Male Role Models for Greenacres Youth

The teaching and child care professions are still predominantly occupied by women, but not if the men of the Greenacres Youth Programs have a say—especially those who are Palm Beach State College students and alumni.

Operated by the Community and Recreation Services Department of the City of Greenacres, the Greenacres Youth Programs annually serve upwards of 250 children and youth, ages 5-17, in age-appropriate afterschool programs and winter, spring and summer camps—all supervised by a better-than-average balance of male and female role models.

Ten of its 26 employees are men, making them 38% of the Greenacres Youth Programs staff. Yet according to 2018 figures from the U.S. Department of Labor, men comprise only 6% of child care workers, 2.4% of preschool and kindergarten teachers and 20.2% of elementary and middle school teachers.

Greenacres Youth Programs has achieved much greater gender equity due, in part, to the influx of male employees who are the product of Palm Beach State College’s unique pathway to careers in child care and youth development. Six of the 10 men (as well as four women employees) have followed this

pathway, which typically begins with the 40-Hour Introductory Child Care certificate that is required to work in the field by the Florida Department of Children and Families. Next, they may continue with the Flordia Department of Education School Age Professional Certificate (SAPC), which prepares students to work with children in a licensed afterschool program.

Several have taken both the College Credit Certificate and Associate in Science degree in Human Services with a concentration in Youth Development. Some also have an Associate in Arts degree and others have transferred into PBSC’s Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Supervision and Management.

Recently the six men participated in a video produced by PBSC to highlight their success in this nontraditional career path. They are Michel Cuellar, youth development leader; Benjamin Jerome Dexter II, assistant youth program supervisor; Adam Mohammed, youth development leader; Jowie Mohammed, assistant director; Michael Morel, youth development assistant;

and Jose Reyes, youth development leader.

Assistant director Jowie Mohammed was one of the first male students from PBSC to excel at Greenacres Youth Programs, starting as a parttime recreation aide 14 years ago. He was profiled in the College’s Contact magazine in 2017.

“Jowie exemplifies the success of the Palm Beach State pathway,” said Michele Thompson, who has been the director of the Community and Recreations Services Department for the City of Greenacres for 17 years. “He is truly a self-made man and has served in every position in the department, except for mine!” Thompson is also a PBSC adjunct professor and has served as the chair for the College’s Afterschool Business Partnership Council for more than six years.

Another part of the success equation is Prime Time Palm Beach County, a nonprofit organization that provides resources and support for afterschool professionals. Dexter, Reyes, Adam Mohammed, Morel and Jowie Mohammed have received Prime Time

www.bocaratontribune.com

scholarships, which make it possible to graduate virtually debt-free.

Prime Time also honors professionals, and at their 2019 Afterschool Symposium, Morel and Adam Mohammed, whose “Cool Zone” middle school group has the highest attendance, were recognized for achieving a 4.94 out of 5 in their annual Quality Improvement System Assessment, which is the best score the Greenacres Youth Programs has ever received. In addition, Dexter was recognized for completing his A.S. degree in Human Services-Youth Development. He is currently pursuing the B.A.S. in Supervision and Management. Jowie Mohammed, who earned his B.A.S. in 2012, is the 2014 recipient of Prime Time’s Exceptional Achievement by an Afterschool Director award.

Dexter and Jowie Mohammed have also earned Certified Parks and Recreation Professional credentials.

Mohammed holds the Advanced Level Directorial Credential, and Dexter earned the Level One Directorial Credential.

These PBSC men are not only rising through the ranks in this field, but they also love what they do. As the video shows, they are finding joy and fulfillment in working with children and youth.

sports Cusatis Scores Record Game-Winner That Propels Sailfish to a Top-20 Victory

The Palm Beach Atlantic men's soccer team improved to 11-2-2 on the season with a victory over No. 16 ranked Florida Tech tonight. The No. 9 ranked Sailfish got late goals from their two senior forwards Claudio Rivadeneira and Cadu Cusatis to claim a 2-0 victory.

PBA came into tonight's contest in third place in the SSC standings with Florida Tech two points ahead. There was plenty on the line for both teams with the top-2 teams receiving a bye in the upcoming SSC tournament. The Panthers came out of the gates strong forcing Sailfish keeper Patrick Nettekoven into a diving save off of a free kick in the second minute. Nettekoven was strong throughout the first half making four of his five saves. The first chance for the Sailfish came in the 18th minute when Quenzi Huerman scooped a through ball behind the Florida Tech defense. There was a collision in the box and the Sailfish forward appeared to be brought down but the referee continued play despite the Sailfish protest. The two sides went into the half tied 0-0 after 45 minutes of the two sides feeling each other out where only nine shots were recorded.

Florida Tech boasts the conferences best defense surrendering

only eight goals so far this season in 12 games. In the 50th minute, the Sailfish got their first real opportunity when the Panthers were called for a handball in the box. Claudio Rivadeneira stepped up to the spot but was denied by Florida Tech keeper Jason Fesquet. With neither team having a great scoring opportunity, overtime was looking like a real possibility between the two sides in such a crucial game. However, the hottest player for the Sailfish showed up when he was needed most. Cadu Cusatis got on the end of a Claudio Rivadeneira cross and tapped the ball into the net to give the Sailfish the lead with four minutes remaining. Cusatis continues his goal-scoring streak, which is now up to a PBA record eight games in a row . With the Panthers chasing a late game-tying goal, the 'Fish created a fast counter attack after winning the ball.

Guillermo Deal found Rivadeneira in the box on the break to go up 2-0 and seal the game in the final minute.

The victory tonight moves PBA ahead of Florida Tech in the SSC standings by a point but the Panthers do have a game in hand. Up next, the Sailfish host Barry in the DII Showcase game on Nov. 5 to close out their regular season.

Mike Perez to be Inducted into the Palm Beach County Sports HOF

Mike Perez has been at Lynn University for 30 years and has accomplished some incredible feats as the head coach of the Fighting Knights tennis programs, including seven national championships, nearly 1,100 career victories and has coached 186 AllAmericans.

However, being inducted into the Palm Beach County Sports Hall of Fame might be his most treasured.

"Besides my personal life, my daughter and my family this is right up there," said Perez. "To be frank, this is something I have dreamt about. Of course, national championships and seeing student-athletes become All-Americans, but this is a tremendous honor."

In 2002, Perez was named Palm

Beach County Sports Hall of Fame Coach of the Year. He is a 13-time Sunshine State Conference Coach of the Year.

"If you could pick and choose a hall of fame, I would pick this one because Palm Beach County is my home. The opportunity to go in and represent all the people at Lynn University is a great culmination.

I now understand why people say making the hall of fame is humbling," Perez said.

The induction ceremony is March 22 and inductees include the likes of current Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett and former Major League Baseball player Jarrod Saltalamacchia. For more information, visit palmbeachsports. com.

Sailfish Make History against Panthers in Massive SSC Victory

The Palm Beach Atlantic women's soccer team routed the Florida Tech Panthers by a score of 4-0 at the Rinker Athletic Campus Wednesday night, marking the largest Sunshine State Conference triumph in program history. With the comfortable win, the Sailfish improved to 7-7 (3-6 SSC) on the season, keeping their hopes of making the postseason alive.

After a fairly uneventful first 35 minutes, the Sailfish struck first on a brilliant counterattack.

In the 40th minute, Maddie McCarty played a longball down the left wing for Alo Medina to run on to. Medina then intelligently held the play up as she waited for more teammates to flood the offensive third.

The Palm Beach Gardens native spotted Kylie Meola at the top of the box, who played a one-two with Kylee Rullo and fired a shot toward goal.

Meola's initial effort was kept out by the diving keeper, but Rullo headed the rebound in to get Palm Beach Atlantic on the board first.

The Sailfish, who out-shot the Panthers 7-4 in the opening 45 minutes, went into the break up 1-0 thanks to Rullo's tally.

PBA then used three secondhalf goals to open up the largest advantage over an SSC opponent in program history.

The Sailfish controlled the entirety of the second half, and the majority of the match, registering 19 shots, eight on frame, to Florida Tech's 11.

Just 28 seconds into the second period, Jaycie Tate turned in a cross by Rullo to make it 2-0. Kianna Magner played a ball over the top to Rullo, who sent a cross on the ground that Tate finessed into the top right corner of the net, doubling the squad's advantage.

Following Tate's tally, Rullo notched her second of the night on yet another longball, this time played through

by Carrie Jones. Jones sent Cheyenne Beck sprinting down the right wing in the 67th minute. Beck caught up to the through pass and centered the ball to an awaiting Rullo, who slotted home her fifth of the year to put PBA up by three.

Medina then utilized her intelligence and aggression on the pitch to record her first career goal in the 69th minute. The redshirt-junior read an intended backpass to the keeper that did not have enough pace on it. Medina coolly headed the bouncing ball around the goalie and rolled the ball into the net to seal the four-goal triumph.

Madison Chiola, who collected a pair of saves in the contest, logged her third shutout of the year in the 4-0 competition.
