Nine local Jewish men reconnected to their heritage recently when they completed an eight-day trip across the world to Jerusalem’s historic Western Wall. Unsure of what awaited them and merely hoping for a great sightseeing adventure, the fathers ventured on an expedition that granted them a newfound knowledge of their religion and heritage. It also evoked emotions towards Zionism that they had not felt before. “I’ve always wanted to go to Israel, but never had the opportunity,” said Dr. Alan Louis, a pediatrician with the Children’¬¬¬s Medical Association.

FAU Women’s Soccer Claims First Victory of the Season By: Michael Demyan After falling to the University of Florida in overtime on Friday, the Florida Atlantic University women’s soccer team sat through a weather delay before overtaking St. Francis at home by a score of 3-1 Sunday afternoon. Just under two minutes into the game, a corner kick by the Owls’ Asta Arnadottir set up a goal attempt by Ebba Blomqvist that missed high. St. Francis followed up with two shots of their own, with the second stopped by FAU goalie Jennifer Ocampo.

Community Kaufman Lynn Construction Donates School Supplies For Florence Fuller

Kaufman Lynn Construction, an award-winning full-service construction management and general contracting company, recently completed their back-to-school backpack drive for Florence Fuller Child Development Centers (FFCDC). The firm handed out backpacks filled with school supplies for this academic year to help fulfill the needs of the nearly 850 children between the East and West Campus. The Florence Fuller backpack drive is an annual effort that is made possible through the generosity of Kaufman Lynn’s associates and numerous subcontractors. These donations were corporately matched by Kaufman Lynn. Associates filled enough backpacks for three classes of students and had two additional boxes of supplies to distribute amongst both campuses. “It is because of dedicated community supporters like Kaufman Lynn Construction that we are able to fulfill the supply needs for the nearly 850 children we serve at Florence Fuller to ensure a great start to the new school year,” said Diane Shawcross, director of advancement for Florence Fuller Child Development Centers. Philanthropy and community involvement are an important part of the company culture at Kaufman Lynn, and this year will mark 20 years of support from Kaufman Lynn for the nonprofit organization that relies on private and corporate support for over half of their annual funding.

Palm Beach State College SGA to help promote safe driving The Student Government Association (SGA) at Palm Beach State College is joining the efforts to help students keep their eyes on the road while driving. The College’s SGA at Lake Worth is co-partnering with AT&T to bring the company’s “It Can Wait” campaign and Pledge Drive to campus. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aug. 28 at the MLK plaza, students will get the opportunity to experience the company’s virtual reality 360 degree driving experience showing the potentially deadly consequences of smartphone distracted driving. AT&T representatives also will be on hand urging students to take the pledge to not use their phones while driving. To date, the pledge has more than 19 million signa-

tures. “We wanted to bring the ‘It Can Wait’ campaign to campus to help advocate to the student body about the importance of safe driving and to also create an event where students could learn together,” said SGA Vice President Stefan Douglas. “We know cell phones are an integral part of students’ lives. Through participation in the campaign, we hope everyone who attends will sign the pledge with their peers.” SGA members will also bring impairment goggles to the event to show students the dangers of drinking and driving. The “It Can Wait” campaign started in 2010 with the goal of saving lives and preventing car accidents related to cell phone use. For more information, visit www.Itcanwait.com.

ing a positive difference in the lives of children from economically challenged families, with the goal of preparing children for a lifetime commitment to learning, and empowering their families to build a brighter future. “Kaufman Lynn Construction is proud to be long-time supporters of the Florence Fuller Child Development Centers which continually assist children in need,” said Michael Kaufman, President and CEO of Kaufman Lynn Construction. “More than simply daycare centers, Florence Fuller truly invests in the children they serve by inspiring them to make local and global differences. Nothing compares to the heartwarming smiles and hugs these children offer when we visit.” The Florence Fuller Backpack Drive is one of the many beneficial programs that Kaufman Lynn Construction organizes through its Positive Workplace Committee. The mission of the internal committee is to create and execute events that promote associate engagement, create a better sense of family among the Kaufman Lynn Construction team, and provide opportunities for involvement and caring within the community. Kaufman Lynn actively supports many not-for-profit organizations in the community with both time and financial resources. The company recently donated hundreds of dollars in pet supplies to the Tri-County Animal Rescue Shelter through its “Donation Drive” program throughout June. www.bocaratontribune.com

FAU Adds Two New Degrees

A Life changing “MoMENtum” trip

By: Gabriel Diaz The jewel of Boca, Florida Atlantic University, has recently added two new degrees to their College of Science department. The two new master's degrees offered will be both a Master of Science degree in marine science and oceanography, and a Bachelor of Arts degree in health sciences. Both of these new degrees will give students the chance to work alongside professional researchers and engineers in FAU’s Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute satellite campus. Considering the fact that FAU is a research institution, students will gain a hands-on understanding of coastal, nearshore and oceanographic science while they learn how to conduct independent research on a plethora of matters.

This master’s degree program will be equipped to prepare students for potential careers in research, education, government, private-sector consulting and nonprofit organizations, states the FAU News Desk. The bachelor’s degree program in health sciences is designed for students interested in pursuing a career in healthcare. “These new degree programs reflect our faculty’s strong commitment to meeting the needs of FAU students and the community at-large,” said Ata Sarajedini, dean of the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science. The curriculum is looking to broaden students’ understanding of factors that both positively and negatively impact the healthcare system, patients and practitioners.

experience firsthand what their wives, who did the trip in June, had spoken so highly about. Modeled after JWRP’s “Momentum” trips for women, the trip was comprised of 170 men from the United States, Canada, Australia, and South Africa. The other Boca Raton residents were Alan Rosenthal, Eric Witt, Eugene Holzer, Ivan Baron, Joseph Sherman, Kenneth Wiesenfeld, Lawrence Muscant, and Rabbi Shimon Feder. The “MoMENtum” journey had the men exploring mountain tops, ancient cities and other locations across Israel. They also visited a combat boot camp on an Israel Defense Forces army base. Through lectures and site visits, the remainder of the trip gave them a view of customs, traditions, and values common in Israeli society that they have since applied to their daily lives back here in America. Within a week of returning from Israel, both Witt and Louis have had the

www.bocaratontribune.com

Shabbat dinner with their families. The dinner was ushered in by lighting candles and reciting a blessing. “My wife and I have made a few changes in our daily lives, Witt said. “It takes two people to make religion work, and two partners working hand and hand to spread it through their family. I’ve spoken with my family and friends a lot about the trip and will continue studying with my Rabbi.” A group favorite was the Western Wall, which in connection with the Temple Mount is considered one of the holiest places for those of Jewish faith to go for prayer. “Walking up to the wall, I immediately got emotional,” said Witt, whose wife has been on the trip four times. After seeing the positive impact it had on her, he wanted to experience it for himself. Lori Palatnik, founding director of JWRP, said it was necessary to spark this learning for men after positive feedback from the women’s trips. “We are happy to give these men the opportunity to get a taste of what their wives have, and work together on enacting change within their family and community, Palatnik said. As the trips continue to expand in the coming years, more participants will be able to experience all that this JWRP funded experience has to offer. “I would unquestionably go to Israel again next year,” Louis said. “We just scratched the surface with this trip, and I believe there are many more enriching experiences waiting for us.” Both the men’s and women’s trips were funded by the Jewish Women’s

Renaissance Project in partnership with the Jewish Education Center of South Florida.

Civil Air Patrol Squadron Debuts Its New Aircraft And Hangar The Honorable Mayor Susan Haynie will be joined by dignitaries of the Boca Raton Airport Authority in ceremoniously cutting the ribbon for the dedication of the United States Air Force Auxiliary Civil Air Patrol (CAP) Boca Raton Composite Squadron’s new aircraft hangar on Tuesday, September 5, at 7 pm at the Boca Raton Airport. The new hangar was generously donated by the Boca Raton Airport Authority and will house the squadron’s brand new Air Force issued search and rescue aircraft. The new $750,000 Cessna 182T is fitted with a Garmin 1000 glass cockpit and state of the art search and rescue equipment. The Boca Raton Composite Squadron’s all-volunteer membership has grown substantially during the past few months in preparation for becoming a fully functional Emergency Services mission base. The new hangar is a welcome addition to their existing facility which is used for the squadron’s weekly meetings on Tuesday evenings. The CAP meetings are where emergency services teams are being prepared for operational readiness in case of natural disasters and other emergencies and youth are being trained to be leaders in aerospace through the CAP Cadet Program. Squadron Commander Lt. Col. Michael T. Harding said: “The dedication of the Boca Raton volunteers makes them a valuable asset to South Florida whether they are orchestrating an aerial or ground search for missing persons or

aircraft, or conducting an aerial imaging mission of storm-damaged neighborhoods. This is one step closer to establishing a strong Command Center and Search and Rescue Training and Mission Base in Boca Raton to better serve our community.“ Civil Air Patrol, the longtime all-volunteer U.S. Air Force auxiliary, is the newest member of the Air Force’s Total Force, which consists of regular Air Force, Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve, along with Air Force retired military and civilian employees. CAP, in its Total Force role, operates a fleet of 550 aircraft and performs about 90 percent of continental U.S. inland search and rescue missions as tasked by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center and is credited by the AFRCC with saving an average of 78 lives annually. Civil Air Patrol’s 56,000 members nationwide also perform homeland security, disaster relief and drug interdiction missions at the request of federal, state and local agencies. Its members additionally play a leading role in aerospace education and serve as mentors to more than 24,000 young people currently participating in the CAP cadet program. Performing missions for America for the past 75 years, CAP received the Congressional Gold Medal in 2014 in honor of the heroic efforts of its World War II veterans. CAP also participates in Wreaths Across America, an initiative to remember, honor and teach about the sacrifices of U.S. military veterans

EDITORIAL By C. Ron Allen

A Missed Opportunity to Erase Damaging Stereotypes When Joel Maldonado arrived at Village Academy to drop off his three children on Monday morning, he was overwhelmed by the sight of men, lots of them, standing in the hallway to greet kids on the first day of school. “It made me feel good to see that,” he said. “It made you feel like they care about the kids.” Like Maldonado, I agree that the message was loud and clear that the sea of men wanted to give them a hearty welcome and engorgement to do well. What I found troubling was that of the 64 men, only four were black. On a campus where close to 100 percent of the students are nonwhite, there should have been more than a handful of men who looked like them there. Let me make this clear, I appreciate and thank my white brothers for supporting us in this effort, especially those who have been there over the last three years and those from Royal Life

Center. I also found it disturbing considering that several of my black brothers told me via email a week earlier that they would be there. A few wives said they would have their husbands and sons there also. But when it was time to deliver, they failed our kids. I am embarrassed to admit but the mother may have been right when, before the event, she declared our men as being unreliable. When she asked me, “Why can’t we [women] come out to welcome them too? We have been mothers and fathers to them,” my response was that we wanted the kids to see black men in their rightful places: at the front door welcoming them back. When she learned of the dismal turnout, she simply quipped, “I told you those sorry a…s were not going to show up.” Brothers, we have to do better. We must do better if we want respect from our women, society in general and

our kids. There is a fundamental reason why it was important for you to be there en masse. Our children see white teachers every day, and study shows that black boys who had a black teacher or a black male role model during their elementary school years were less likely to drop out of high school. It also linked the presence of black teachers to kids’ expectations of attending college. Having been a mentor for more than 25 years, I have always maintained that if many of our black boys never see anyone who looks like them in authority in the classroom, chances are they will think, “Hey, college is just not for me”. Then they would not have an incentive to work hard in school. Just imagine how impactful it would have been that morning for those kids to see what the rest of their lives can be — not on TV, not on the Internet, but right there in front of them.

My black brothers often complain that when they see themselves portrayed in the media today, it is often in the form of a mugshot or a hashtag. But on Monday, they had a chance to dismantle the damaging stereotypes of Black men in America. It is a fact that those dominant and pervasive images provoke an inescapable infection on the nation’s psyche. Yes, it etches an imprint that distills the identity of black men to nothing more than “dangerous” and “uneducated.” But brothers, you fuel that notion when you are not in place to welcome our darling periwinkles back to school – especially when you do not have a plausible reason to be absent. If you do not do your part to reform these perceptions, the younger generation is bound to emulate you. C. Ron Allen can be reached at crallen@ delraybeachtribune.com or 561-665-0151.

POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Plan Carefully, Do Well! Several people I know, even in responsible positions, complain a lot about how busy they are when, in reality, what can be observed is that they don’t organize their time, nor distribute the tasks they expect to fulfill in the course of a day, a week, a month, or even longer! Because they view themselves as lords of their own time, they wrongfully assume that all necessary tasks will be fulfilled in spite of their excesses devoted to personal fun, when those moments should first be given to the completion of priorities in their schedule. Similarly, many arrive at their places of

work when they choose to get there instead of scheduling their appointments and other functions in a manner that would best guarantee the best possible results. For years I’ve followed the popular affirmation that “if you fail to plan you’re planning to fail.” In my teen years I also learned a saying from the first century Roman philosopher, Seneca, which remains with me ever since. He had wisely declared that “time is the only thing of which it is a virtue to be covetous.” Nevertheless. far too many people operate daily as if whatever amount of time

they throw away they can easily regain. But it is not so! Any task that needs to be done is best fulfilled right away, rather than postponed to a time which may never come, or if it comes, it may arrive with hindrances which cannot be overcome, or be affected by unhappy surprises which spring up on one, quite suddenly! The best way is to operate “clock-wise,” i.e. to ascertain the length of time it will take for the achievement of any project, and devote that amount exclusively for that until its successful conclusion. Usually, things performed in a hurry lose a lot in quality and in ultimate satisfaction,

both for the doer and for those benefitting from the final product. Punctuality should not be shunned; it applies to when a project is started, how its production is carried on, and when its final delivery is a reality! In life, minutes and seconds should be viewed with equal seriousness as months, seasons, and years, and what is accomplished within any time-frame, is best brought to fruition with a sense of urgency instead of a disorganized, unplanned operation. You can plan carefully, and do well in all you attempt!

By: Mary Sheffield

My sisters and I were lucky to have Skip Sheffield as a dad. Or rather, a daddy; we never called him dad to his face. He was always daddy or Skip – nothing in between. To me this is fitting of his personality. He was a deeply romantic man with a rich appreciation of beauty in all its forms. He was also silly to the point of nonsense. One of this favorite poems was “Jabberwocky,” if that gives you any insight. Growing up we benefited immensely from having a parent who was also an entertainment critic. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been privileged to see The Nutcrakcer, for example. For my sisters and I, Saturday mornings meant doughnuts and children’s theatre (specifically Little Palm – we saw many wonderful plays there). His absence is a physical sensa-

tion. Somehow I didn’t realize until he was gone how strong he made me feel. How I had learned to bend toward him, as flowers do the sun. He was a rather unconventional father, but he loved us all fiercely and that love is what comforts me now. He instilled in me a love for literature, film, and the arts. He gave my sisters and I a childhood rich in culture and imagination. Did I mention he was silly? So, so silly. His nickname for me, par example, was Emery Arfus. Quite a lovely nomme de guerre, no? Bewitching and all that. But that was the kind of person he was: silly, kind, crazy smart, sometimes despondent, always in love with love. His life: twas brillig, and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe; all mimsy were the borogoves, and the mome raths outgrabe. And I miss him beyond language.

By: Kay Renz It’s funny how some people play a role in your life and it is not until they are gone that you realize how much you have shared. When I woke up the other morning to the news that Skip Sheffield had passed, I was flooded with memories of the many ways Skip had been a part of my life. When I began as the fashion and beauty writer at The Boca Raton News back in the mid-1990s, Skip was one of the first people to greet me. I was instantly engaged by his warm smile and twinkling eyes. He, of course, along with Vin Mannix, was an icon in the community, a person I had read for years and now actually sat next to in the office. Skip was charming, self-effacing and was always there to help me, whether guiding me on the best approach for an interview ask or wading through some of the crazy politics in the office. Through a rather turbulent decade of the Boca News, we always tried to make each other laugh as we moved from office to office. When I hung up my byline to enter the PR realm, again Skip was again a part of my life. From the launch of Arts Garage and The Wick Theatre, through the recent opening of the Pompano Beach Cultural Center, he was such a huge supporter. During our relationship in these later years, I understood on a deeper level why he was so respected in the industry. Skip truly cared about the arts, he was a champion of the creatives and someone who critiqued through kindness. He honestly wanted to see all the shows and performers flourish as he himself had an artist’s soul. The loss of Skip Sheffield is a huge one for Boca Raton and the South Florida arts community–opening nights will not be the same without him.

Although I still mourn your passing here, I know the Angels in Heaven are getting to know a larger-than-life kind of guy! Remembering the first time we met many years ago at the old Boca News location on 3rd street, many wonderful happy memories of our friendship throughout the years are now unfolding. You were one of the kindest, smartest, humblest, most honest and most loyal I had the pleasure of knowing. There were so many occasions when I learned history and compassion for people and places from you. You had great admiration for God’s creative world of nature, making certain its beauty was shared in your writings and in your photos each and every day. I loved how you described the beach and all its components as your “home-away-from-home.” Your talent for creative writing was impressive and beyond measure. You wrote about living in various locations in Florida, including your adopted home of Boca Raton, as “learning experiences.” Never shy to express an opinion, you always found a way to show gratitude of each “experience” in a very kind way through reminiscing of days past. Your expressions of family and faith were remarkable and inspiring. Love of family was at the top of your “what’s-most-important” list. I loved reading all the Facebook stories of your growing years, never a complaint, rather just an ordinary growingup experience told in your own kind of special and loving way. With your sensitive and unique humor, you added much happiness to others even in times of personal challenges. Although you had every right to brag when remembering the famed people you met and interviewed (and there were hundreds!), the stories were always about “them” and not you. With such talent and with so many interesting experiences, I had encouraged you to write a book, but once again, you always reminded me that “you” were not story-worthy—-such humility! Your love of creative arts and your own personal musical talents were extraordinary. Our cultural organizations, many local and beyond our area, have been uplifted by your encouragement and media stories. You graciously (and unpretentiously) attended our shows…..I know we all will absolutely miss your presence, along with the positive thoughts expressed in your articles. You may have had by nature a very soft-spoken voice, but when you took to the stage, you could belt out a song like no other. I am proud that you and your also-talented brothers performed on many occasions for a variety of audiences down through the years. I personally will really miss seeing you every Saturday morning at the Boca Raton GreenMarket; after making your regular purchase, you never failed to share a few sweet words of “what a wonderful day this is.” You always made our day a little brighter! It has been my honor and a privilege to know you….thankful for the impact you had on so many lives. You were a SWEET SOUL, a sincerely good person, and I will miss you. Rejoicing that you are now in the presence of your Lord…..now, SKIP, rest in Heavenly peace From your friend, Em,

I remember reading Skip’s reviews in the Boca News as a teenager and instantly becoming a fan. Just through his writing, he seemed like a cool guy who really knew his stuff. I had no clue that a decade later I would have the honor of working with him for seven years – and calling him my friend. Sitting at my desk in a tumultuous newsroom, I would watch Skip go about his life and work and think to myself “I want to be that guy.” Not because I particularly wanted to surf, or play in a band, or even rub shoulders with major and minor celebrities. What I longed for was his quiet confidence, that breezy joie de vivre, that aura of Zen-like calmness he brought to everything around him. To put it more succinctly, the guy was totally cool. Skip and Vin Mannix were the faces of that paper for most of its run – certainty through its heyday. But beyond that, Skip was in many ways the face of Boca Raton itself. He was one of the best known and best liked people in the city, a point brought home to me some years ago. I was traveling in western Argentina when I struck up a conversation with an Argentinian man and mentioned I was from Boca Raton. “Boca?” the man replied. “You must know Skip Sheffield.” It turns out he’d done a turn as an actor in South Florida years earlier before

returning home. Answering Skip’s phone when he was out was always an adventure. You never knew who would be on the other end of the line. “This is Steve Allen,” a familiar voice once announced. Another time, the inimitable Don Adams – Maxwell Smart himself – called looking for Skip. I remember Nancy, our receptionist, shrieking with joy: “I just talked to Blythe Danner!” Skip once told he never felt the need to leave Boca because all the celebrities came to him. He had deeper roots here than that, of course, which led to his great work with the “Old Boca” Facebook sites that has created a wonderful community for us “Old Boca” types. The last time I saw Skip was about four years ago, when the Sheffield Brothers were playing a gig at, of all places, the Spanish River library. The brothers never sounded better. Skip had been through a difficult couple of years, but things had finally turned around for him. I’ve forgotten what we talked about, just small talk really, but it was great to see him back in good spirits and back to his old self. Though it might have seemed to a neurotic young reporter that Skip was living the perfect life, I learned through memories he shared in his later writings that was far from the truth. Even so, he lived a fascinating and fulfilling journey that left those who knew him longing for more, and deeply saddened that it ended so soon. Godspeed my friend.

By Kate McClare For more than 16 years, I had the privilege and joy of working next to Skip Sheffield at the Boca Raton News. I was in awe every day watching Skip create a seemingly endless stream of movie and theater reviews, arts features, celebrity interviews and miscellaneous shorts (Skip's doing Best Bets for Weekend? Must be Thursday.) A lesser writer could have expected to have a few clunkers with that sort of volume, but Skip's writing was always on. A year without him winning an arts criticism award from a respected news organization was a rare one indeed, if it ever even happened. Skip worked even harder for his family, and no father ever loved his children more than Skip loved "the girls," as he called his three beautiful daughters. I always loved hearing about his latest trip taking his family to visit friends around the country, friends he seemed to have everywhere. Skip Sheffield loved music and the ocean. He loved his brothers and the band they created. He loved his girls. And he loved Boca Raton, even as it grew far beyond the tiny town he had grown up in. I like to think Boca loved him back.

By: Christine Ledbetter Senior Arts Editor Washington Post I worked with Skip from 1981-1989 at The Boca News. Wayne Ezell was the editor, and it was one of the finest small newspapers in the country. As an entertainment writer, Skip knew everyone in the arts community in Palm Beach County and was even then a legend in Boca Raton. He was always old-school, reflecting a classic South Florida. If he were to be depicted in a movie, it would need to be a film noir. I remember his wife and three blond daughters would visit him sometimes at work. They would all four be decked out in Laura Ashley-style dresses; a parade of sunshine walking into the newsroom.

columnists ROBERT’S COMMUNITY REPORT

FAITH By Robert J. Tamasy

By Robert Weinroth • The news of the week (indeed, the news of the decade) was the solar eclipse that was viewed throughout the United States. While Florida residents only had the benefit of a partial eclipse, we could enjoy the total eclipse, vicariously, with live-streamed images transmitted throughout the late morning and early afternoon as the shadow created by the eclipse raced across the continent. If you missed the event don’t worry, Florida will be within the path of a total solar eclipse on October 14, 2023 so mark your calendars accordingly.

• The City Council heard from several dozen members of the community ar its recent regular meeting where eliminating all privately installed holiday displays was being considered. However, it was apparent that notwithstanding the disdain for a pentagram installed in Sanborn Square Park last year, residents will not be bullied into eliminating a city tradition of permitting the free expression and celebration of the holidays in Sanborn Square Park.. The City of Boca Raton has already received numerous requests for the installation of displays during the upcoming holidays. The Mayor and Council are committed to protecting the citizens’ right to free expression.

• Congratulations to Mayor Susan Haynie on the completion of her year as the president of the Florida League of Cities. Haynie was honored by the members of the FLC at its annual conference in Orlando last week. The new FLC president, Gill Ziffer, Mayor Pro Tem of Tallahassee thanked Haynie for creating a strong foundation on which he will continue to build during his year as president.

• The nominees for the Junior League of Boca Raton’s 30th Anniversary Woman Volunteer of the Year were announced Wednesday evening at the WVOY kickoff event at Saks Fifth Avenue at Town Center Mall. The Junior League of Boca Raton’s 30th Annual Woman Volunteer of the Year Luncheon will be held on Thursday, October 5th, 2017 at the Boca Raton Resort & Club. The events begin at 10:30AM with a Reception & Runway Raffle with the Luncheon to follow at 11:30AM.

• This year’s Boca Ballroom Battle Raised over $500,000 to benefit the George Snow Scholarship Fund. Congratulations to Stacey Winn Packer & Peter F Gary for Chairing and making it such a success. Special congratulations to John Tolbert & Terry Fedele for winning the Mirrored Ball Trophies. • Rocco’s Tacos & Tequila Bar and Minuteman Press of Boca Raton hosted “Margarita Monday” on Monday, August 21, 2017 to benefit the KidSafe Foundation. It was another very successful Boca Chamber Festival day event, pairing for profit and not-for profit Greater Boca Raton Chamber members. The events are a great way to learn about the mission of our city’s many non-profit agencies while having a great time. • The Boca Raton Interfaith Clergy Association responded to the recent events in Charlottesville, Va. in a very public way. The group organized an interfaith outdoor candlelight vigil attended by about 350 people in Sanborn Square in downtown Boca Raton to condemn the violence and hatred expressed by Neo-Nazis, Ku Klux Klansmen, white supremacists and white nationalists in Charlottesville. The Boca Raton Interfaith Clergy Association is an interfaith association of clergy from the Jewish, Christian and Islamic traditions in Boca Raton who gather to support and serve the community. A statement drafted by the Association’s religious leaders was read at the event. It stated, in part, “Unlike other national leaders, we put in clear terms those who expressed hatred for other people based on race or religion in Charlottesville . . . there is no place for that kind of hatred in this community or in our nation.” • Place of Hope partnered with Blue Moon Mexican Boca, a new restaurant in Boca Raton to host Taco Tuesday, another BCFD event.. Proceeds from the event will benefit the foster children and youth who call Place of Hope “home.”

August 25- August 31 , 2017

Setting The Team’s Expectation Recently I was among nearly 500 people affected when a local medical facility decided to close a specialized care center that had served our area for 15 years. The patients, many of whom had been going to the center for years (10, in my case), were understandably disappointed and upset. “Irate” was a better description for some of them. We all were encouraged to transfer to a new, state-of-the-art, much larger facility operated by the healthcare organization in another part of the city. For many, however, that meant an additional drive of 20-30 minutes each way, depending on traffic, and having to deal with less than ideal parking accommodations at the site. Considering many of the patients are elderly and not very mobile, or recovering from recent major surgery, moving to the new center was not an appealing option. To justify their decision, the healthcare officials used terms such as “full utilization of a newer facility,” “advanced equipment and supportive technology,” “continuous improvement model,” “resources allocated for optimum service,” and “high rankings in key metrics.” Terminology like this might warm the hearts of corporate executives, number crunchers and stakeholders, but not the patients living in my area. They could not help but feel forsaken. Nowhere did the officials state the decision had been formulated with the best interests of the patients – the customers – being foremost in their concerns. So, what is the value of customer service? Can – or should – business economics and efficiencies always justify reducing or making dramatic changes to established services? Throughout my working career, I have

experienced decisions of this type on numerous occasions. They are never easy. Sometimes they are justified and unavoidable; cuts may be necessary to ensure survival. At other times, however, decisions justified by dollars and cents might make good sense fiscally, but could be detrimental to long-term relationships with customers. If profits are paramount, customers and their interests can easily be discounted. But if disgruntled customers vote with their dollars and go elsewhere for services and products, profit-based decisions can lead to calamity. The Bible suggests how to weigh decisions between profits and people: Customers are the lifeblood of any business. Balance decisions by awareness of the needs and concerns of customers who will be affected. “Be sure to know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds…the lambs will provide you with clothing and the goats with the price of a field. You will have plenty of goats’ milk to feed you and your family…” (Proverbs 27:23-27). What would you do if you were them? Substantial cuts or changes in services may be necessary, but if you were the customer affected, how would you feel and react? Might there be any more acceptable alternatives? “Do to others as you would have them do to you” (Luke 6:31). Is greed the primary motive? Profits serve as rewards; they also can be reinvested for a company’s growth. However, it’s important to remember the value of focusing on others. “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit… look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others” (Philippians 2:3-4).

sports Lynn Volleyball Claims AVCA Team FAU Women's Soccer Claims First Academics Award Victory of the Season

For the 12th consecutive year, Lynn University’s volleyball team has been rewarded for its continued dedication in the classroom, earning a 2016-17 American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Team Academic Award. The AVCA announced 831 teams to receive the Team Academic Award for the 201617 season, breaking the 2015-16 record of 764 programs. “I’m very proud of the team’s success and hard work in the classroom,” said head coach Adam Milewski. “We have fantastic professors at Lynn University and a great academic support system in our Athletics department.” The award, which was initiated in the 1992-93 academic year, honors collegiate and high school volleyball teams that displayed excellence in the classroom during the school year by maintaining at least a 3.30 cumulative team grade-point average on a 4.0 scale or a 4.10 cumulative team GPA on a 5.0 scale. The Fighting Knights logged a 3.49 team GPA for the academic year,

joining 117 other NCAA Division II honorees, including six from the Sunshine State Conference. Individually, senior setter Marissa Tandron led the way and was awarded with a CoSIDA First Team Academic All-American selection at the conclusion of last season. Tandron became the fifth Academic All-American in program history and just the third to be chosen to the first team. The AVCA Team Academic Award, celebrating its 25th year, is the single largest award offered by quantity of schools, players and coaches honored. Since the 2000-2001 season, the number of recipients have increased every single year but two, while amassing a 541 team increase over the span of the last decade. Since the award's inception in 1993, the amount of award winners has increased from 62 to its current number of 831. The Fighting Knights, coming off their first NCAA postseason appearance since 2010, kick off the new season on Sept. 1 in Daytona Beach, Fla.

By: Michael Demyan After falling to the University of Florida in overtime on Friday, the Florida Atlantic University women’s soccer team sat through a weather delay before overtaking St. Francis at home by a score of 3-1 Sunday afternoon. Just under two minutes into the game, a corner kick by the Owls’ Asta Arnadottir set up a goal attempt by Ebba Blomqvist that missed high. St. Francis followed up with two shots of their own, with the second stopped by FAU goalie Jennifer Ocampo. The game stayed scoreless until the 11th minute when Blomqvist scored on a penalty kick to give the Owls a 1-0 lead. It was both the junior’s first goal of the season and the first for the team as a whole after being shut out Friday night. Head coach Patrick Baker was proud of the team for getting off to a fast start after waiting patiently for the game to finally begin. “It’s always tough when you get warmed up and then you got to warm up again, so I thought we started the game sharply,” he said. Less than six minutes later, the Owls looked to build on their lead with four consecutive goal attempts in a five minute span. They were finally able to make it work with their fifth straight shot attempt just over halfway through the first period. Tiril Haga found the back of the net unassisted to extend their lead to two. FAU continued with their consistent offensive possession of the ball throughout the rest of the first period

with two more unanswered goal attempts, but halftime came with the score still at 2-0. After three more shots from the Owls to begin the second period, St. Francis’ Siobhan Bross answered with a shot on goal just past an hour into the game, but it was saved by Ocampo. With under eight minutes remaining, FAU was still not done padding their lead and made it 3-0 with sophomore Pernille Velta’s first goal. It was the team’s second unassisted goal of the afternoon. Looking to get on the board in the final minutes, Bross attempted a goal that was saved by Ocampo and just seven seconds later, she saved another shot by Camryn Tirado. Finally, St. Francis’ Gabi Morales found an opening and snuck one by for a goal 50 seconds later, preventing the shutout. FAU (1-1) was easily able to keep the game in control for the remaining minutes as they went on to take the 3-1 victory in front of over 200 fans. St. Francis’ record fell to 0-2 on the season. “I thought we responded well from Friday, but Friday took a lot out of us and now we just got to recover and regroup and watch a lot of video from today that’s going to make us better for next week when we host our tournament,” Baker said. Their next games will come during the FAU Adidas Owl Classic which begins on Friday. Participants include Florida Gulf Coast, Eastern Michigan and Valparaiso. The Owls will be playing Eastern Michigan on Friday night and Valparaiso on Sunday.

Veteran coach to lead Palm Beach State’s Women’s Basketball

www.atechroofers.com

Maureen Smith, who has more than 24 years of coaching experience, has been chosen as the new interim coach for the Panther women’s basketball team for the 2017-18 season. She replaces Kris Ruffo, who was the head coach for the past eight years. Before joining Palm Beach State College, Smith, a New Jersey native, was the assistant coach for women’s basketball at University High School in Orlando and the assistant golf coach at Seminole State College in Sanford. Her basketball coaching experience spans four states with two head women’s coaching positions at Seminole State College from 2006 to 2009 and at East Stroudsburg University in East Stroudsburg, Pa. from 2010 to 2015. At Seminole State College in 2008, Smith led the Raiders to a Mid-Florida Conference Championship and to a second-place finish in the NJCAA Region 8 State Tournament before the college discontinued the program. Even though her last few decades have been spent coaching, she also knows what it’s like on the court as she played throughout school and in college at Broward Community College and Florida International University. “Playing at a community or state college is such a great springboard,” says Smith. “I am really looking forward to

helping PBSC student athletes have a great athletic and academic experience so they can matriculate on to the next level like I did.” Last season, the team won the Southern Conference Championship. At the NJCAA District/FCSAA State Basketball Tournament, a loss in the first round to Tallahassee Community College kept them out of contention for nationals. Even though it’s a new season with a new leader at the helm, Smith says that people shouldn’t underestimate the team’s potential. “I think we can definitely achieve another Southern Conference Championship title, as well as go further in the state tournament.” She hopes to mold this year’s team to be very defensive oriented complemented with a high-octane offense. Smith currently has a roster of 10 on her team, with plans to add more before the season begins. The team’s first home game will be Nov. 14 against the College of Central Florida. Tryouts will be Aug. 25 at noon on the Lake Worth campus. Students who wish to participate must be enrolled full time and provide a completed physical form. For more information, contact Smith at smithmt@palmbeachstate.edu or call 561-868-3008.
