Ochocinco’s Brace Propels Boca Raton FC to 2-1 Victory
Students Give Away Quarter of a Million Paper Straws When three college neighbors turned friends in Boca Raton, Florida, they soon came to the realization that their coastal community was facing a BIG problem – plastic pollution. No matter where they went, everyone from local beach goers to restaurant owners began to shine a light on the pressing problem at hand – people want to work together to build a truly sustainable future, but it comes at a cost. The sustainable alternatives entering the market were either too expensive or of very poor quality. With this in mind, StrawFish partnered with Rhino Paper Straws™ based out of South Florida to provide the best quality paper straw on the market hands down! Story on Page 10

• High school students who are leaders in their communities recently graduated from the Solomon Leadership Program, earning University credit. Twenty-two of the 29 teenagers who graduated from the program April 9 completed collegiate-level coursework to earn a credit from the valuesbased leadership program, said Catherine T. MacArthur School of Leadership Dean Dr. Craig Domeck. This is the first year the program offered PBA credit. • Boca Raton Regional Hospital (BRRH) is the first hospital in Florida to adopt game-changing technology for some of its most complicated and lengthy neurosurgical procedures. The ORBEYE 4K-3D Video Microscope will be used by neurosurgeons at the Marcus Neuroscience Institute (MNI) for skull-based and spine procedures. The technology provides superior visualization, shortens surgical time and enhances patient outcomes through minimally-invasive techniques. • The Cultural Council of Palm Beach County has named West Palm Beach artist Hegina Rodrigues as recipient of the 2018 Dina Baker Fund for Mature Female Artists. Rodrigues is a self-taught artist whose work has developed over decades, particularly from her travels. Not limited to two dimensions, she creates work with found objects into assemblage. Her process commingles with the art classes she teaches to children and adults around the world, including the Council’s Arts in My Backyard Afterschool program. • Florida Atlantic University’s first class of Doctor of Social Work (DSW) graduates from the Phyllis and Harvey Sandler School of Social Work within the College for Design and Social Inquiry recently earned their degrees.

University’s Schmidt College of Medicine and Boca Raton Regional Hospital’s (BRRH) Marcus Neuroscience Institute are taking treatment options to the next level. Jang-Yen (John) Wu, Ph.D., distinguished professor of biomedical science in FAU’s Schmidt College of Medicine, and Brian Snelling, M.D., chief of cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgery and medical director of the Marilyn and Stanley Barry Center for Cerebrovascular Disease and Stroke at the Marcus Neuroscience Institute and BRRH, have joined forces to combine a breakthrough interventional procedure for stroke with a novel drug compound that has neuroprotective properties. • Even though Palm Beach County is known for its vast wealth, one in six residents do not know where their next meal will come from according to the Palm Beach County Food Bank. Since the majority of Palm Beach State College students are residents of the county, they too may be struggling to get enough to eat. To help ensure they have this basic need met, the College has relocated and expanded its food pantry, now called Panther’s Pantry. • Officials at Boca Raton Regional Hospital today announced the appointment of KerryAnn McDonald, MD, to the medical staff of the Christine E. Lynn Women’s Health & Wellness Institute (LWHWI) and BocaCare® Physician Network.

COMMUNITY Boca’s Sinai Residences Plans Major Expansion At Jewish Federation Campus Toby & Leon Cooperman Sinai Residences Boca Raton, the area’s resort-inspired Life Plan Retirement Community, announces additions to its already unparalleled luxury in the way of a $160 million expansion and redevelopment. The project, set to break ground next year, includes the addition of 111 independent living apartments, as well as updates to existing amenities. “Currently, we have a waiting list of over 70 people, which led to the decision to expand,” said Mel Lowell, COO of the Jewish Federation, which completed the existing community in 2016. “Demand continues to be high and we’re excited to be able to meet it. The future is bright.” The project is tentatively slated to begin with a groundbreaking sometime in the summer of 2020. Deposits are currently being accepted, and Lowell says they anticipate interest to continue to be

strong.
Due to demand for larger apartments, the expansion will allow Sinai Residences to accommodate those who seek bigger living spaces. Meanwhile, smaller, one-bedroom apartments are still available. Additionally, the community’s pool will be renovated to include a poolside bar and lounge, a hot tub and beach side entry. New dining venues will also be added, along with a movie theater, wellness center and cocktail lounge. The new 240,000-square-foot building will be located to the southeast of the existing community on 4.5 acres. While the expansion will include larger apartments, the look and feel will be similar to that of the original Sinai. The expansion, which was approved unanimously by the Palm Beach County Zoning Commission, is expected to be completed by the fall of 2022.

Boca Raton Regional Hospital and Baptist Health South Florida today announced that they have signed a Definitive Agreement regarding a strategic partnership between the two organizations. This agreement solidifies their plans for affiliation, which is expected to be completed by early summer. Both Boca Raton Regional Hospital and Baptist Health are not-forprofit organizations with a long history of compassion and commitment to the communities they serve. “We are excited about this significant step in the journey we embarked on in 2017. The agreement was enthusiastically endorsed by a unanimous vote of our Board, and we are looking forward to continuing with Baptist Health on the path toward elevating the healthcare we provide for our communities,” said Jerry Fedele, President and CEO of Boca Raton Regional Hospital. “Our organizations share similar cultures, values and expectations for excellence that are essential for a great partnership that is focused on increasing access to high-quality care across South Florida.” In addition, officials at Boca Regional Hospital announced the appointment of Lincoln S. Mendez as its new chief executive officer following the retirement of Jerry Fedele in August of this year. A seasoned and accomplished healthcare executive, Mr. Mendez comes to his new position after serving as chief executive officer at South Miami Hospital, part of Baptist Health. During his tenure, South Miami Hospital earned national accolades for its quality, innovation and clinical excellence. South Miami Hospital also witnessed significant growth in its facilities, technology and programmatic offerings. Mr. Mendez
www.bocaratontribune.com
is also well-respected by Board members, physicians, employees and his peers. “Mr. Mendez provides the depth of experience and executive skill sets that are tailor-made to lead Boca Regional in its continued ascent to becoming one of the premier, tertiary academic medical centers in Florida,” said Christine E. Lynn, Boca Raton Regional Hospital Board Chair. “We are supremely confident in his ability to continue the most positive momentum and trajectory of our Hospital that was established and sustained by Jerry Fedele.” “Our collaboration has reinforced our common vision for carrying out our mission of delivering compassionate, exceptional care to our patients and families,” said Brian E. Keeley, President and CEO of Baptist Health. “Baptist Health has grown strategically in recent years to meet the needs of our communities, and today’s announcement brings us one step closer to completing our much-anticipated affiliation with Boca Raton Regional Hospital. With Lincoln’s leadership, we believe this partnership will be mutually beneficial to our respective organizations and, most of all, for the many people we serve across four counties.” In December 2018, Baptist Health and Boca Raton Regional Hospital announced they had signed a Letter of Intent to form a partnership. Boca Raton Regional Hospital first announced its intent to seek a strategic partner in 2017. After issuing a Request for Proposal and receiving responses from some of the nation’s foremost healthcare systems, Boca Regional narrowed its list of suitors to five in the spring of 2018 and then selected Baptist Health South Florida as its preferred partner.

Rick Recht, Rock Star of Jewish Music, to Kick Off Summer with PJ Library® Family Concert in Boca A late afternoon of family fun is in store when nationally acclaimed “Jewish rock star” Rick Recht headlines the interactive, action-packed PJ Library® Kick Off into Summer Concert in Boca Raton on Thursday, June 20, 2019. Jewish families from across the community will enjoy singing, dancing and a great time together with PJ Library on the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County campus in west Boca. The Federation is located at 9901 Donna Klein Boulevard, Boca Raton (enter South on 95th Ave from Glades Road). The fun will start at 4:00 pm with a mix of outdoor activities, free ice pops, pizza for purchase and more, before the concert begins at 5:00 pm in Zinman Hall. In addition, a shorter Sensory-Friendly Concert at 4:30 pm will welcome families with children ages 3-13 who have special needs. Discounted tickets are available in advance at $5 per child, at jewishboca.org/pjconcert for the 5:00 concert, and at jewishboca. org/pjsensory for the Sensory-Friendly concert at 4:30. Accompanying adults and children under one year of age are free of charge, but every child must be registered with an adult. Tickets will also be available at the door, at $8 per child. Rick Recht is one of the most celebrated Jewish music artists and a top Jewish educator of our time, widely recognized as a pioneer of the Jewish rock music genre who has elevated the medium into a powerful and effective tool for developing Jewish pride and identity. Proud to be the national celebrity spokesperson for PJ Library, Recht’s two solo children’s CDs have been distributed to tens of thousands of Jewish preschoolers through PJ Library, and his compilation PJ Library albums have been given to hundreds of thousands. Recht is also founder and Executive Director of Songleader Boot Camp, in which PJ Library participates, and of Jewish Rock Radio, and Executive Producer of PJ Library Radio. “We’re so excited to bring back Rick Recht’s energizing Jewish music to hundreds of local kids, parents and grandparents,” said local PJ Library CoChair Joanna Drowos. “His lively, positive, age-appropriate and interactive PJ concerts here and far beyond always keep young children and families rocking and dancing in their seats and on their feet.” The international, communitybased PJ Library® program came to South Palm Beach County six years ago, in response to the area’s rapidly growing young Jewish population. “The recent
www.bocaratontribune.com
study of our Jewish community firmly indicated what we already knew from observation and programming - the number of Jewish children in our truly multigenerational community has increased by 57% since 2005!” said Elana Ostroff, PJ Library in South Palm Beach County Director. “PJ Library in South Palm Beach County began with the vision and generosity of local leaders and donors, in collaboration with the Harold Grinspoon Foundation. Based from the start at the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County, it is now a program of the Federation. “Of course, if they haven’t yet registered, local families with Jewish children from 6 months to 8 years old will be able to sign up at the concert to receive free Jewish books and music every month through PJ Library – or they can sign up online at jewishboca.org/ pjlibrary,” said Ostroff. “A wide array of more than 1,900 Jewish families in Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Highland Beach already enjoy receiving these monthly gifts at home. And over 300 tweens ages 9-11 are enjoying and learning with our books and an age-appropriate online community in our next chapter, PJ Our WayTM, that came on board three years ago. It’s easy to register for it at pjourway. org.” “With PJ, families also enjoy events large and small throughout the year, all over the community,” added Co-Chair Miriam Klein. “Our Summer Kickoff Concert is just one of the wonderful ways that PJ Library brings the young Jewish community together. Together they enjoy stories, crafts, concerts and fairs, and learn about holidays and mitzvot. They pack food for those in need, meet authors, make hamentashen, and visit a farm, bookstores, synagogues and so much more. “And starting June 26, they’ll be getting together at ice cream shops all over town every Wednesday from 5:307:00 pm for sweet treats, fun crafts, storytime and casual time with local rabbis at our annual PJ Sweet Summer Series.” “I believe PJ Library is one of the most extraordinary and effective Jewish family and community engagement opportunities of our time,” said Recht. “For years, my family has experienced the profound impact of reading and listening to the inspirational and incredibly highquality PJ Library children’s books and music. On the road, many of the families we meet feel equally blessed to have PJ Library providing them with such fantastic resources and experiences.”

Merilee, Middleton: a Pioneer in Local Mental Health Counseling Dr. Merrilee R. Middleton, a psychologist who helped change the public perception of mental illness, is being remembered for bringing mental health counseling to thousands of South Floridians who may not otherwise have been able to afford it. As of press time, Dr. Middleton, 86, was in hospice care at her home in Boca Raton. Her public legacy in Palm Beach County is massive and impressive: In a career spanning more than 50 years, she led the way in providing crucial services for those with mental illness in the School District of Palm Beach County. She also is credited with creating counseling services and practicing up and down the eastern United States, picking up seemingly every civic award along the way. And yet, it was her human, personal touch that lingers in the minds of those who knew her. “Merrilee has been a staunch supporter of quality mental health services for decades and will be remembered as a pioneer in this work. She will always be a shining star,” said Dr. Seth Bernstein, vice president of Boca Raton’s Promise, a nonprofit to which
Dr. Middleton gave birth. The organization creates outreach programs and activities to bring awareness and resources to those in need and their families. Dr. Middleton’s impact on mental health care in Palm Beach County would be difficult to exaggerate. After moving to Boca Raton in the late 1960s, she worked as a counselor at Boca Raton High School before serving as a program specialist in secondary education for district. In 1968, while pursuing her Education Specialist degree from Florida Atlantic University, Dr. Middleton and then Stetson (Deland) University professor and psychologist Elizabeth H. Faulk established counseling services and trainings for hundreds of people in Palm Beach and Broward counties. Faulk started the Elizabeth Faulk Foundation in 1970, which, three years later, led to establishment of the
Center for Group Counseling. The center operated for a decade in a rented storefront downtown until it moved, in 1981, to its present site on Boca Rio Road on donated land from Palm Beach County. Today, the center is a site for graduate student training, support groups, and counseling and therapy for people who may not be able to afford private mental health care. Dr. Middleton served as clinical and training director at the Center while earning her doctorate from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale. During the Bush administration, the center was designated as the country’s 813th Point of Light in recognition of its emphasis on volunteerism. I first met “Doc” in 1998 when then retired U.S. Army Gen. Colin Powell visited Florida Atlantic University at the invitation of Dr. Middleton and the late Dan Weppner, a retired FAU professor who was a devout advocate of public
schools and student volunteerism. Powell also helped launched Boca Raton’s Promise - The Alliance For Youth, the local affiliate of his national nonprofit America’s Promise. Then governor, Lawton Chiles, invited her the previous year to be one of five State delegates to organize “Communities of Promise” in Florida and attend the Presidential Summit for America’s Youth in Philadelphia. I worked closely with her on several youth mental health initiatives and I saw how passionate she was about the topic. She had a way of conveying the seriousness of the illness while maintaining an unforced conversational delivery, which was warm as the voice of an informed companion. “She lived some of those experiences in her own life,” said Rita Thrasher, a longtime trusted friend, protégé, caretake and current president & CEO of Boca Raton’s Promise. “She understood. She appreciated.” To read more about Dr. Middleton, visit Boca Raton Tribune.com
POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.
Make Progress at the Necessary Speed! If things don’t go well today, don’t lose hope about your projects because a new day is coming. Often, what doesn’t occur today may happen tomorrow, even in a much larger scale. Hurrying through any activity most often is not the proper alternative! It has been correctly acknowledged that “haste makes waste”! As I’ve travelled extensively around the world, I’m always impressed to see buildings, bridges, and works of art which took countless years to complete. Perhaps that’s why they retain their significance and value through May 31 - June 6, 2019
many generations after their original appearance! All human activity needs to be well measured in terms of what it takes to complete it, how long is necessary for its successful termination, what ensures its safety for those who shall benefit from it, and how its impact can be meaningfully felt among many of succeeding generations! People can receive encouragement regarding the urgency of what they are doing, and even concerning the rate with which the labor is being conducted. Deadlines are important and
should be taken seriously! What is not good is to force a pace other than what can be delivered by the one doing the work. Each person should be entitled to reach their destination in the manner most ideal for one’s self. What some people can do quite fast, others may require more time and there’s nothing wrong with that, as long as the task is completed within reason. Furthermore, those engaged in any production need to have the proper tools, to be at the right location, and to be free from unnecessary interruptions
www.bocaratontribune.com
so that the labor goes on unhindered till completion. For many activities, it’s possible and most desirable that a schedule be set up with a target date for its termination. A good plan devised will best guarantee the execution of every portion of a major project until it comes to full fruition. Be diligent in all you do, avoid unnecessary delays, and remove any laziness which might creep in. Plan your best and the job shall be done in a timely fashion!

Taking Care of Our ‘ Handiwork’ From time to time we hear of someone described as a “self-made man” or “self-made woman.” The implication is that all they have become and all they have accomplished is the direct result of their own initiative and hard work. Perhaps you regard yourself as one of them. What is wrong with using that term? After all, many people have come from disadvantaged backgrounds, or overcome various obstacles to achieve their levels of success. They have “beaten the odds” to reach the heights they have attained. Even people who did not confront great adversity often consider themselves “self-made,” given the time and energy they invested in their careers. When I graduated from high school, although I was regarded as a good student, I doubt that anyone was envisioning me as “most likely to succeed.” But somewhere along the way I learned the value of hard work, discipline and determination. Work weeks that far exceeded the 40-hour standard were my norm; I worked as hard and as long as required to fulfill my responsibilities and succeed. However, I never regarded my accomplishments the result of being self-made. Although I had learned how to write and edit, and honed my skills through time and experience, I did not start from ground zero. I had loved reading and had an innate proficiency in writing. These abilities and talents were natural, not store-bought, or manufactured by me. I possessed them from the birth. Once I realized what I had and discovered I enjoyed using these gifts, I pursued an education and opportunities for using them. A truth from the Bible confirmed my conviction that any sense of being “self-made” would have been
a great misconception. Ephesians 2:10 states, “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” This says that we – not what we do – are God’s “workmanship.” Another translation uses the term “handiwork” instead of workmanship, and in some respects gives the passage even more profound meaning. In a recent meditation, writer Elisa Morgan explained the term handiwork“denotes a work of art or masterpiece.” Have you ever perceived yourself as a “work of art” or “masterpiece,” just as we regard artistic creations on display in some museum? That is how the Bible describes us. This brings to mind another passage that presents a similar idea. King David of ancient Israel wrote, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well” (Psalm 139:13-14) Reading this makes me feel both humbled and amazed. And I believe it should evoke similar feelngs in each of us. Can you imagine the God of the universe, who created the wonders of nature as well as the universe, being so personal that He divinely conceived each one of us as works of art, masterpieces He is proud to display in His “exhibit hall”? What kind of “handiwork” are you? Perhaps your forte is leadership, or administration. Maybe you excel in sales, or possess entrepreneurial vision. Or have unique artistic abilities or capabilities as a craftsman. You may have invested countless hours, sweat and tears getting to where you are now. But you have been using what God gave you initially. You are his “masterpiece”!

‘Sabrina Fair’ Opens June 7 at FAU TechGarage hires PBSC students as robotics coaches
Florida Atlantic University’s Department of Theatre and Dance in the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters presents “Sabrina Fair,” a romantic comedy by Samuel Taylor, opening on Friday, June 7 at 7 p.m. and running through Saturday, June 22. A beautifully written romantic comedy, “Sabrina Fair” is a modern retelling of the Cinderella story that flips the fairytale on its head. When it ran on Broadway, it was called a “delightful, sparkling hit” and “the best American comedy in more than a decade.” “Sabrina Fair” charms the audience with a strong female character, witty dialogue, and plenty of romance and comedy. “Sabrina Fair” is part of FAU’s summer Festival Repertory Theatre, which also includes “Sister Act,” which will run from Friday, July 5 to Sunday, July 21; and Big Band Hits from the Golden Age, which will be presented on Saturday, July 13 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, July 14 at 2 p.m. The plays are in Studio One Theatre and the big band concert is in the Kaye Auditorium of the Student Union, 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton campus. Tickets are $27 at www.fauevents.com. Group and package tickets are available at
561-297-6124. The sensational feel-good musical comedy smash, “Sister Act” is a riot a minute! Based on the 1992 film, it features incredible music by Oscar and Tony winning composer Alan Menken, and when it played on Broadway, it was called “one of the happiest surprises” that “hits all the right spots.” Nominated for several Tony Awards including Best Musical, “Sister Act” is a celebration of music and a pure joy to experience! The big band concert features the Florida Wind Symphony Jazz Orchestra, a professional ensemble-in-residence at FAU. The band will present an evening of hits from the 30s, 40s and 50s, including authentic music of big band sensations like Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman. “Festival Rep,” now in its 22nd year, will once again feature professional equity actors working alongside FAU’s finest graduate students in their last production before they graduate and enter the world of professional theater. For more information on Festival Rep, visit www.fau.edu/festivalrep.
Several PBSC students were recently hired by TechGarage, a robotics program at FAU Tech Runway®, as robotics coaches for elementary-and middle-school-age members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County. The $15 an hour positions were made possible by the Department of Education, which awarded the Boys & Girls Clubs a 21st-Century Community Learning Center Grant to expand the TechGarage program to club sites in the Glades area. PBSC students from the Belle Glade campus and other campuses coach Boys & Girls Club members each week at various locations including Pioneer Park, Glades View and Belle Glade elementary schools and the Smith and Moore Family Teen Center of the Glades. “Our partnership with TechGarage and PBSC is extremely beneficial for local Boys & Girls Clubs,” said Lotus Holem, director of programming for Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County. “It’s helping our club members learn the newest technological innovations and engage in college-level work. They are having a blast building robots, using cutting-edge technology and competing with their peers. It also provides employers with access to a new talent network in the Glades area and gives PBSC students rewarding new opportunities to grow in their leadership skills.” The robotics coaches include students Zavius Knighten and Derlin Collazo and Learning Specialist OD Oliver, all from the Belle Glade campus. Other Belle Glade students who will soon be hired are Paul Small, Prajedes Sanchez, Moises Cortez and Rose Hyppolite. Brandon Ladron and Griffin McDonald, who attend other PBSC campuses, also work as robotics coaches through TechGarage at clubs in Palm
Beach County. Dr. LaTanya McNeal, executive dean of the Belle Glade campus, shared her enthusiasm regarding the partnership. “We appreciate the partnership with TechGarage and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County for providing Belle Glade campus students and staff with this tremendous opportunity. Palm Beach State College students are poised to give back to their community by mentoring youth and teaching elementary and middle school students how to build robots while also expanding not only their STEM skills, but also their leadership, perseverance, critical thinking and teamwork skills, which will be vital in the job market. We are inspiring and developing tomorrow’s engineers in the Glades community.” Before being selected, the students and employee had to undergo a computer programming test through CodeCombat.com which measured their aptitude and interest. Representatives from the organizations, including TechGarage CEO Scooter Willis and Vice President of Operations for the Boys & Girls Clubs Steven Cornette, spoke more about the partnership during the Belle Glade campus Innovation Showcase May 21. During the event, representatives showcased students’ skills in Python programming and held demonstrations in laser cutting, 3D printing and youth soldering. Tours of the campus were also given to business and community leaders to exhibit how the campus is using technology.

Local Students Give Away Over Quarter of a Million Paper Straws When three college neighbors turned friends in Boca Raton, Florida, they soon came to the realization that their coastal community was facing a BIG problem – plastic pollution. No matter where they went, everyone from local beach goers to restaurant owners began to shine a light on the pressing problem at hand – people want to work together to build a truly sustainable future, but it comes at a cost. The sustainable alternatives entering the market were either too expensive or of very poor quality. With this in mind, StrawFish partnered with Rhino Paper Straws™ based out of South Florida to provide the best quality paper straw on the market hands down! As the StrawFish team saw this problem affecting the people closest to them, they knew a solution was needed in order to bring real passion and purpose behind the vision of a sustainable future. StrawFish gives away ultra-premium Rhino paper straws™ for FREE. These long lasting, gluten-free paper straws are given to restaurants, hotels, and businesses to aid in the transition to sustainable alternatives. This is done by partnering with businesses of all sorts to advertise on the straw itself with FDA-Approved water-based ink. Not only does this help to create a sustainable future for our environ-

ment, it allows businesses to show they are committed to sustainability while accessing a captive audience during their dining experience with a 100% interaction rate. To date, they have given away a quarter of a million paper straws and counting to a variety of local restaurants and well-known South Florida chains. “It would be amazing to inspire local businesses to continue committing to sustainability” says Kyle Lansing, chief executive officer of StrawFish. “We want to help these establishments pledge their commitment to the environment through our effective advertising platform.” “Our promise is to be more than just another paper straw company,” says Aaron Kleinert, chief operating officer of StrawFish, “For as long as we can, we pledge to provide FREE paper straws to businesses.” Taking a holistic approach to sustainability means you can find StrawFish out in the local community organizing beach cleanups, educating people on single-use plastic pollution and bans, and fighting to keep legislation rooted in a greener & cleaner future.

St. Andrews First School In Florida To Have Cutting-Edge Air Quality Measuring Device Students at Saint Andrew’s School caught wind of startling air pollution statistics during their studies which inspired them to take action and make a difference in their community. With a little help from a Stanford professor and COO of a company in Silicon Valley, SA students in 5th Grade are now in possession of a scientific tool very few other students or adults in the US have access to – a cutting-edge handheld device that measures air quality. The device is called the PocketLab Air. In fact, Saint Andrew’s School is the first school in Florida to have such an innovative piece of equipment. The little handheld device, about as big as an iPhone, stands in stark contrast to sizable scientific grade air quality sensors used by the EPA or at a university. Those devices are much larger, cost anywhere from $20,000 to over $50,000, and are completely stationary. Holding the PocketLab Air in the palm of their hands, students conducted experiments measuring air quality during morning drop-off, as cars idled in lines in front of the school. Then they measured the quality of the air later in the day when the parking lot was relatively free of idling cars. After hours of air quality experimentation, students determined results that all residents of South Florida would find startling. “The difference in carbon dioxide levels according to the PocketLab
Air devise was enormous,” said Ashley Egbert, Saint Andrew’s 5th-grader. While cars were running, the Pocket Air device measured high levels of carbon dioxide at 1,080 ppm. “After we measured the air around the cars for about 10 minutes, we decided to put the
carbon dioxide level at 663 ppm, which shows just how many more toxins we are breathing in because of fossil fuel emissions,” she added. Ashley Egbert together with classmates, Eli Cornell, Keely McGahee, and David Capeti, presented their
device closer to an exhaust pipe of a running car, and test the carbon dioxide levels there. The levels went up by 300 points,” said Egbert. “Later in the day when we measured the air quality of our parking lot with no running cars, we measured the
scientific findings to the Saint Andrew’s School community during the IB/PYP Exhibition on Thursday, May 2 at the new Dr. Albert Cohen Family Center for Entrepreneurial Studies. Currently, there is no other portable low-cost product like PocketLab Air
www.bocaratontribune.com
on the market. Other than are a few nice inexpensive hobby systems, which have limited measurement capabilities, PocketLab Air is the only low-cost hand-held device today that measures more than one air quality indicator and Saint Andrew’s School is the first school at the PreK-12 or University level to use this technology. The COO of PocketLab Air, Dave Bakker, was a critical partner in making this data available to Saint Andrew’s 5th-grade students and to South Florida with the help of his friend and Upper School teacher, Mr. Jim Scheidegger. “I want to say congratulations to Saint Andrew’s School,” offered Bakker. “You are the first school in Florida to be using the PocketLab Air!” The company is also starting to work with top-notch University programs committed to climate science including Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, and Berkeley University. “There are probably several universities in Florida that would be interested in having a PocketLab Air device, but we having gotten that far yet,” offered Bakker. Dave Bakker can count the students of Saint Andrew’s School and their trailblazing use of the PocketLab Air device to inspire others in South Florida, including local schools and universities, to follow our lead as we work to clear the air.

SPORTS Rafa Nadal Tennis Academy Partners with Saint Andrew’s School
Saint Andrew’s School is excited to announce its official partnership with the Rafa Nadal Tennis Academy (RNA) by Movistar. The Academy will host tennis camps on the Saint Andrew’s School campus from Monday, July 1, 2019, to Saturday, July 27, 2019. The Rafa Nadal Tennis Academy will offer its wellknown, highperformance training program to juniors ranging from the ages of 7 to 18 years old for four separate, one-week camp sessions. Rafael Nadal, the winner of 17 major titles, including 11 French Opens, a career Grand Slam and a 23-15 winning record over Roger Federer, along with his famed coach “Uncle Toni” Nadal, developed a coaching philosophy that is at the core of their training methodology. At the Academy, coaches apply these training systems, combining them with the skills that have brought success to Rafael Nadal throughout his professional career, such as mobility, a winning spirit, intensity (during training and competition), concentration and a competitive mentality. With unique access to the Academy’s training philosophy and methodology, campers will experience modern and creative tennis – an attractive, technical,
tactical, and forward-playing game. The objectives of the camp are as follows: - Development of technical skills to play fast, fluid and beautiful tennis - Understanding of tactics and game situations to develop a solid and consistent game Experiencing the RNA philosophy and understanding the values that build a champion - Development of mental skills to become the best competitor - Creation of a unique playing identity that will develop talent to its potential
Ochocinco’s Brace Propels Boca Raton FC to 2-1 Victory Boca Raton Football Club defeated Palm Beach Breakers AFC on Friday night at Dyer Park 2-1 to gain three crucial points in the United Premier Soccer League standings heading into the last week of games. A brace by Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson was all Boca Raton FC needed to keep the Breakers at bay and move into second place in the standings with one game remaining. Boca Raton FC opened up the scoring in the 27th Minute when a long throw-in by Kevin Byrne found Johnson’s head and the former NFL Pro-Bowler was able to place it perfectly in the upper right-hand side of the goal away from the keeper. Johnson doubled his goal count in the game in the 45th minute when a poor clearance by Breakers gave the ball
to Ryan Price who dribbled down the left side and sent a low crossing ball to Johnson who was able to power it home for his second of the game. Breakers AFC got one back early in the second half, but Boca Raton FC’s defense was able to close out any other opportunities to preserve the 2-1 win in West Palm Beach. “I was happy with my performance tonight,” said Johnson of his twogoal performance. “This gives me some more confidence as I continue to grow in the game and help my teammates with the ultimate goal of winning a championship.” Boca Raton FC currently sits in second place in the UPSL Palm Beach Division with 22 points with a key match this weekend versus Fourth-Place PSL United, who will be looking for a win.
“The Saint Andrew’s School partnership with the Rafa Nadal Tennis Academy is an amazing and unique opportunity for children and tennis athletes to get hands-on experience and learn from the best,” said Head Tennis Coach at Saint Andrew’s School, Reid Rafter. “This is the first time the Academy will be in the state of Florida, and I believe it will truly be a gratifying and rewarding experience for any child involved,” said Coach Rafter.
