Community Local Students Address Bullying in Public Service Announcements

By Staff Report

DELRAY BEACH – About 30 elementary kids, who know the effects of bullying quite well, say they have a few solutions to address the age-related social problem.

After five weeks of research and production using cutting edge digital video technology, the students from schools in Boca Raton, Boynton Beach and Delray Beach will present their findings at a forum on May 22 at the Delray Beach Public Library. The free event will be from 4 to 5 p.m.

They also will discuss their job descriptions on the production team, what they learned from the program and how they see it expanding in their community.

“This program was very helpful because it helped me to come up with solutions on what I should do when I see bullying on campus,” said Miracle, 10, one of the Delray Beach students in the program.

Bullying remains one of the largest problems in schools, and the percentage of students who are bullied at least once per week has been steadily increasing since 1999, according to the FBI.

When the students were tasked with selecting a community problem that affects youth, they almost unanimously

agreed on bullying, organizers said. One group chose homeless animals but because they could not take animals to the library and they could not leave the building, they agreed on the topic of bullying.

“They used the democratic voting process, which is a key component to keeping the media projects student driven to select their favorite subject topic,” said William King, founder/executive director of Youth Speak Out International, which led the six-week program.

King and his staff then guided the students through the research and production process.

The program created new opportunities for the students to grapple with social norms, explore interests, develop technical skills and experiment with inquiry based learning, organizers said.

Along with the Library, the other partners are Youth Speak Out International and KOP Mentoring Network.

Prime Time funded the project.

C. Ron Allen, CEO of KOP Mentoring Network, said the project empowered the students to use the power of their brains to address social issues.

“It showed them that they belonged to something bigger than they are used to,” he said. “Besides, it brought together kids from several schools and they had a chance to bond and think outside of their immediate life.”

It also showed them that they have power to address social issues.

“We gave them a task and they ran with it, and it showed them that they have power,” he said. “They don’t realize it yet but once they see their work on the big screen and they see the public officials watching their work, they will say, ‘I have power. I have the ability to make change.’”

Boca Raton Regional Hospital Offers The World’s Smallest Pacemaker

Boca Raton Regional Hospital today announced that it is the first hospital in Palm Beach County to offer the world’s smallest pacemaker for patients with bradycardia. The Medtronic Micra® Transcatheter Pacing System (TPS) is a new type of heart device that provides patients with the most advanced pacing technology at one-tenth the size of a traditional pacemaker.

The first procedure at Boca Regional was performed in late April

by Martin Kloosterman, MD, an electrophysiologist and Director of the Lynn Heart & Vascular Institute.

In addition to its size, which is comparable to a large vitamin capsule and weighs the same as a penny, Micra TPS provides a host of benefits for patients.

The pacemaker is introduced through a catheter in the femoral vein and attached directly to the heart via small tines. Once seated in place, it delivers electrical impulses as needed, pacing the heart through an electrode at the end of the device.

In this fashion, Micra TPS preserves unobstructed blood vessels flow and does away with the need for wires

or “leads” that are used in conventional pacemakers to deliver the pacing therapy, which can be a source of complications.

Micra TPS is a minimally invasive catheter procedure that also eliminates the requirement for a surgical incision to create a “pocket” under the skin where a conventional pacemaker would be placed. This, in turn, takes away yet another site for potential difficulties such as infection and movement limitations while providing comfort and cosmetic advantages for the patient.

The System’s pacemaker is approved for full-body MRI scans. It can be implanted in a wide range of selected patients, including frail, elderly individuals. It requires minimal recovery with no activity restriction after just a few hours of implantation.

“The Micra TPS is a revolutionary new generation of pacemakers and a major advancement in the treatment of bradycardia,” said Dr. Kloosterman.

“Having it at Boca Regional enhances our reputation and commitment to offering the latest and most sophisticated spectrum of care for patients with rhythm disorders.”

Date Announced for this Year’s Boca Bowl By: Zach Evans

The Boca Raton Bowl, going on its fourth year since its inauguration in 2014, will be played Tuesday, December 19 at 7 p.m. It will be broadcasted on ESPN and ESPN Radio and will be played at FAU Stadium in Boca Raton.

Activities for the Bowl game will begin when both teams arrive on December 15.

“The Tourism Industry in Palm

Beach County is excited to have the Boca Raton Bowl returning for the fourth year to the Palm Beaches and Boca Raton just before the Christmas Holiday,” said Glenn Jergensen, Executive Director of the County Tourist Development Council. “With prime-time coverage on ESPN, this makes our sports tourism event a winner for the county welcoming families and friends from those colleges that earned a chance to play in the Boca Raton Bowl.”

Last year, 24,726 fans watched as the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers routed the Memphis Tigers 51-31. With an average attendance of 26,683 in the last three years, the Boca Bowl continues to grow as a staple of the city of Boca Raton during the month of December.

“We are proud that the Boca Raton Bowl is quickly becoming a tradition for Boca Raton, and we are excited about the fourth annual game,” said Boca Raton Mayor Susan Haynie. “From the moment the game day is announced we look forward to finding out which teams will play and we enjoy all of the excitement that comes with their arrival and game day.”

A Quarter Century of Recognizing Community Giants

Twenty five years ago automotive legend Jim Moran saw the need to recognize members of south Florida’s black communities who were enriching lives, improving their communities and inspiring their neighbors.

Oftentimes, they did this with limited resources and very little recognition.

So he started the African-American Achievers awards observance, an evening where folks from the tri-county area would gather to celebrate the unsung heroes among them. He also wanted to inspire future generations.

Ten years after his passing, Mr. Moran’s wish of continuing this tradition is still being honored.

Over the years, an independent panel of judges – often past honorees and community leaders – have had the difficult task of selecting four winners from nominations submitted by area residents. This year they and I poured through nearly 300 entries and selected an educator, an accountant, a historian and an Oscar-winning actor/playwright.

All four giants - Anthony Lockhart, Shaun Davis, Enid Curtis Pinkney and Tarell McCraney - uphold the ultimate spirit of perseverance and selfless

giving.

One of the honorees, Anthony Lockhart, has a local connection. The former assistant principal at Spanish River High School and principal of Atlantic High School left his A-rated Atlantic to take over the hemorrhaging F-ranked Lakeshore Middle School in Belle Glade without hesitation.

The school, which was among the lowest performing in Palm Beach County, was plagued with discipline problems, a high crime rate, exasperated faculty, recent revolving door of principals and an overall lack of purpose, according to school officials. It also was on the verge of being taken over by the state after receiving F grades for two consecutive years. Within one year, Lockhart moved it up to a C, which earned him the honor of the 2016 Palm Beach County Principal of the Year.

Within minutes of meeting Lockhart one will see his passion for education. Whenever the minister enters a room, you can feel the increase in energy.

He is so enthusiastic about everything he is involved with that you can’t help but get excited with him.

Shaun Davis, founder and managing partner of S. Davis & Associates P.A.,

turned his dream into one of the largest African-American-owned certified public accounting and consulting firms in the southeast. He is a mentor for minorities considering a career in accounting and entrepreneurs seeking advice on starting their own companies.

The community service honoree was Enid Curtis Pinkney, a historian who worked tirelessly for decades to document and preserve the history of blacks in Miami. “The Cemetery Lady,” as she is affectionately known, was instrumental in preserving several historical sites, including the historic Lemon City Cemetery, the Native American burial grounds downtown and the Hampton House Motel, one of the few places where black athletes, celebrities and entertainers could stay during the Jim Crow segregation era.

The arts and culture winner was internationally acclaimed actor, playwright and professor Tarell McCraney, who inspires and mentors youth in Miami’s Liberty City area. He wrote a script from his work with youth that became the basis of his Oscar winning movie “Moonlight.”

Each year, JM Family also recognizes a youth with a needs-based fouryear scholarship to Florida State University. The 2017 Jerome Edmund Gray Youth

Achiever Award winner was Phabie Jean of Atlantic Technical High School, a senior in the magnet program at Atlantic Technical High School in Coconut Creek.

To date, the African-American Achievers awards has recognized 152 men and women and donated $564,000 on the recipients’ behalf to about 130 unique non-profit organizations throughout South Florida.

In recognition of the 25th anniversary JM Family donated $25,000 each to the Urban League of Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties to help further their work in their communities.

Colin Brown, president and CEO of JM Family, puts it best when he says the awards program is their way to say thank you to the unsung heroes for their accomplishments and contributions to South Florida.

“As we celebrate 25 years of this special program, we are grateful for the dedication of our past and present honorees,” he said. “Their continued determination and selflessness is an inspiration to our community and the next generation of leaders making a difference.”

POSITIVE LIVING

By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Watch Out: You Are Being Observed!

Wherever you go, there will always be people who will take notice of your presence. For a few moments, they make make you their “project” and pay attention to all your movements, just because they dispose of time, and you may appear “interesting” to them. Some may be attracted to good qualities you display, while others may consider you “suspicious” in some way, from the moment they set their eyes on you!

Some of that may be due to whatever you may be wearing or carrying, or it may stem from the impression you may give of being lost at that location. It may be due to the pace of your walking which is different from the rate seen all around you, besides the countenance you display before the watching surroundings.

Reasons will vary everywhere, at any time of day or night, wherever you may find yourself. It’s not just in your neighborhood, or even in the seclusion of your own abode, that it can be said: “Big brother is watching you.”

Obviously, some of those observation may be totally harmless, coming from people who have nothing else to do and, thus, just make it their pastime to pay extra attention to anyone who crosses their path at any public place where they happen to be.

There’s also the danger posed by some who may be watching you, where you go, whatever you do, so as to follow you to the point of doing some harm to you. Your dressing may give them the impression of some wealth, the casual way you walk may

cause them to think you are lost, besides any other hint they take catch that can make you their prey.

Besides, there may be some around, who may know you, somewhat, and are eager to find anything suspicious you may do, or any undesirable place you may enter, so as later to accuse you, or even bring any charges against you. Such attitudes don’t just affect celebrities, but also can rob anybody of their privacy and security.

So, what can one do? How must a person act? Obviously, there is much one can’t avoid while in the public eye. There are plenty of malicious people in the world.

Society abounds with evil people who don’t have anything better to do, who just spend their time looking for someone or some-

thing they may wrongfully accuse of being involved in some unsavory activity that never happened, or in a suspicious action which is fully inaccurate.

The only answer is to walk circumspectly at all times, to behave honorably everywhere, and in all circumstances. In a sense we owe no one explanation, but there are people around who are ready to paint an inaccurate picture of us and gossip about a conduct twisted by them, which we did not manifest in any way. People can see things one way and report them in another, or they may completely misread and describe something without a reasonable foundation.

Just remember: quite often, the actual is not the real, and one’s point of view always depends on his or her point of viewing!

The new program will be for those who seriously want to change their health for the better. They will be assisted by immersion coaches Ashlyn Leidy and Shaan Hogun, along with the program’s director, Alan Ataman.

Boca Raton Public Library Hires Phyllis & Harvey Sandler Donate Vicky Fitzsimmons As New Digital $7m To School Of Social Work Librarian

By Brittany-Sullivan

The Boca Raton Public Library is pleased to announce that Vicky Fitzsimmons has been hired for the new position of Digital Librarian. “Ms. Fitzsimmons brings with her the expertise and leadership necessary to help the BRPL meet the developing digital and technology needs of our community,” said Ann Nappa, Manager of Library Services for the City of Boca Raton. “In her new capacity, she will maximize the effective use of new and improved digital services and products; promote digital literacy to patrons; provide essential training for library staff; and bring new and cutting-edge products to our collection.”

Fitzsimmons earned her Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) degree from Florida State University in 2005 and was subsequently employed by the Boca Raton Public Library in the Reference Department. Under her leadership, the Reference Department was reengineered in 2014 to become Instructional Services, with a mission to teach classes on a variety of 21st-century

skills including digital literacy. The class schedule has grown to twenty classes per month.

While working directly with BRPL patrons and local students over the years, Fitzsimmons has developed a keen understanding of the challenges people face when confronted with new technology and the skills needed to keep up with constantly changing trends. “As the BRPL’s new Digital Librarian,” notes Fitzsimmons, “I’m looking forward to greater opportunities to teach and build awareness of the diverse, fun and useful digital offerings that are all free with a library card.”

Fitzsimmons’ work will allow the Boca Raton Public Library to serve the growing number of patrons who increasingly seek to acquire digital and technology skills, and help develop training for sophisticated new technologies. The direct result will be high-level, 21st-century offerings for the library’s patrons and world-class service for which the City of Boca Raton is known.

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Boca Raton Home for Sale BOCA RATON - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale.

Yo u r C l o s e s t N e i g h b o r

Florida Atlantic University announced a $7 million gift from longtime benefactors Phyllis and Harvey Sandler to name The Phyllis and Harvey Sandler School of Social Work within the College for Design and Social Inquiry.

“I am extremely passionate about improving the well-being of all, especially the lives of the students and faculty at Florida Atlantic University,” said Phyllis Sandler.

The gift also will establish two new Centers within The Phyllis and Harvey Sandler School of Social Work – the Robin Rubin Mindfulness and Wellness Center and the Substance Misuse, Mental Health and Research Center. A portion of the gift will go toward renovations to the College for Design and Social Inquiry.

“We are extremely grateful to Phyllis and Harvey Sandler for this transformational gift,” said FAU President John Kelly.

“The Sandlers understand that social work plays a major role in America’s mental health and social services.

Their generosity will help grow our program in remarkable ways and support some of the best and brightest students in the field.”

FAU began its relationship with the Sandler family more than 10 years ago when Phyllis and Harvey’s daughters, Robin Rubin and Amy Ross, decided to go back to school to earn their degrees in social work. Both graduated with honors, and Rubin went on to earn her master’s degree, teach part-time at FAU’s School of Social Work, as well as assemble the School’s first Social Work Community Advisory Board.

“This gift will give for generations to come,” said Wesley Hawkins, Ph.D., interim dean of the College for Design and Social Inquiry. “Because of the enormous generosity of Phyllis and Harvey Sandler, social work students and faculty can now more fully address the social issues that have plagued our society for centuries – substance misuse, child abuse, health care, suicide, depression – the list goes on and on. The impact and ripple effect of this gift is enormous for helping those in need in our communities for years to come. I am thrilled and very grateful to now call our school: the Phyllis and Harvey Sandler School of Social Work.”

For the past five years, the FAU School of Social Work’s Community Advisory Board, populated by some of Boca Raton’s most prominent community leaders, has highlighted the importance of the social work program at FAU and its impact on the local community. Because of this, FAU’s Phyllis Sandler Heart of Social Work annual fundraiser was created for the social work program and its students.

“It feels so good to give back,” said Harvey Sandler. “It’s important to make investments in your community and take pride in where you live.”

Phyllis and Harvey Sandler have a long history of philanthropic efforts in the community. Together they have named the Phyllis and Harvey Sandler Pavilion at the Lynn Cancer Center and The Phyllis Sandler Center for Living Well at the Boca Raton Regional Hospital. They also named and endowed The Phyllis and Harvey Sandler Center for Jewish Life Enhancement at the Adolph & Rose Levis Jewish Community Center.

The Sandlers are also one of the largest contributors to the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County and created the organization’s Sandler Family Major Gifts annual event.

“Naming the Phyllis and Harvey Sandler School of Social Work reflects the incredible generosity of the Sandler family and their commitment to making an impact in the lives of thousands of people,” said Naelys Luna, Ph.D., director of FAU’s School of Social Work. “This is an unprecedented gift that will allow us to develop and fund programs, scholarships and research placing our school as a national leader in social work. This gift will also provide the foundation for continuous academic excellence and remarkable growth preparing some of the most dedicated and committed social work students.”

Because of the Sandler family’s close relationship with Barbara and Dick Schmidt, an additional gift of $250,000 will be given to name the Phyllis and Harvey Sandler Student Athlete Lounge within the Schmidt Family Complex for Academic and Athletic Excellence. The Complex will play a central role in elevating FAU’s academic standing and will benefit students in all academic programs, including those not associated with athletic programs.

• Dr. Richard Staller and Advanced Dentistry-South Florida are sponsoring a fun fundraiser to freeze out childhood cancer April 29 from 2 to 5 pm at Ben & Jerry’s , 1155 E. Atlantic. Ave. Delray Beach to benefit The Anthony Rizzo Family (former Chicago Cubs first baseman) and P4 Foundations. Celebrity scoopers include Delray Mayor Carey Glickstein, FAU Head Football Coach and 850’s morning radio personality Rich Stevens. Money raised for these organizations go DIRECTLY to childhood cancer research and the families affected.

Less than 3% of cancer funding today goes toward childhood cancer research… it’s alarming how little funding they get.

Here is the link to the GoFundMe page: https://www.gofundme.com/freeze-outchildhood-cancer. Also on Facebook.

• Boca Raton City Councilman Jeremy Rodgers is the new deputy mayor and re-elected Mayor Susan Haynie welcomed a second woman to the dais after a packed swearing-in ceremony in council chambers. Councilwoman Andrea Levine

O’Rourke took the seat vacated by former Deputy Mayor Mike Mullaugh.

• The Diplomat Hotel and Spa has undergone a complete remodeling and a new name to the Diplomat Resort, adding a new restaurant and two suites, totaling 1,000, the largest in Palm Beach County.

• Comcast is looking to hire 600 more technicians in the area.

• Ten Palm Beach County schools will be getting promised construction upgrades starting this summer, Superintendent Robert Avossa said. The projects, funded by a penny sales tax increase that voters approved in November, include paving at Del Prado Elementary in Boca Raton and water intrusion repairs at Eagles Landing Middle, west of Boca Raton. Avossa said at a press conference he plans to provide quarterly updates on progress to the School Board and public.

• Daggerwing Nature Center is breaking out the ladybugs for the annual free Earth Day bash billed as “Come Celebrate the Planet!” “This year our theme is reduce, reuse, recycle refuse,” said Sean Mallee.

Rejecting The Machiavellian Way

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 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).

Harvest Seasonal Grill & Wine Bar: Delray’s new “Must Try” sensation

By Kenny Spahn

Have you been to the new Harvest Seasonal Grill yet? If not, then head over to Delray Place on N. Federal Highway (at Linton Blvd.), and discover this new culinary Hot Spot. (And if you have been there already, the menu changes seasonally, so come back and try something new!). As the name suggests, Harvest Seasonal Grill is all about fresh, wholesome food. The innovative “harvest-centric eatery and wine bar” features locally-sourced, Farm-To-Table ingredients – including sustainable, wild-caught, free-range chicken, organic, and non-GMO products whenever possible. It’s the brainchild of Dave Magrogan, of Pennsylvania-based Dave Magrogan Group. As the affable leader notes, “We work to find the healthiest ingredients available through local farmers and purveyors.

It’s about creating a sustainable menu for people, with the highest emphasis on quality of products.” His passion is readily witnessed in the company’s mantra, “Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food.”

The “polished-casual” restaurant is warm and inviting, with natural tones and wood accents reflecting the back-to-nature vibe. Seating options include a comfortable main dining room, several private rooms, a lively front bar area, and a capacious outdoor terrace. Harvest Seasonal Grill’s commitment to “go green” goes beyond just the food — from the recycled glass bar top, to the organic fresh herbs growing in the patio (talk about Farm to Table!), down to the organic cleaning products used. The menu (printed on recycled paper with eco-friendly ink) changes seasonally to capitalize on the season’s fresh offerings. It also conveniently denotes those items which are Vegetarian, under 500 calories, and/or available Gluten-Free — and even lists the local farmers and purveyors. Another plus: the management and staff are very cognizant of food sensitivities, and Executive Chefs William Ring (of 32 East fame) and Jeremy Hanson will gladly accommodate food allergies and dietary restrictions whenever possible. The servers are friendly and knowledgeable, and are well-attuned to ensuring a pleasant dining experience under the guidance of TJ Elbahmi.

The menu is quite expansive, and you may have a tough time deciding just what to order — so gazing your way through a few starters is the way to go here. Flatbreads (Harvest Season’s lighter take on pizza) are a great way to start, with thin crusts bearing the perfect amount of crispiness after their trip to the authentic wood-burning oven. The Pear & Bleu Flatbread is a tantalizing combo sure to get your taste buds in gear – fresh pears, aged Bleu cheese and baby arugula, topped with a sweet fig glaze. It’s like a fruit & cheese platter on a pizza. Other options range from a simple Harvest Spice with asiago gratin (quite a bargain at only $4!), to Spring Vegetarian, to a hearty Steak & Mushroom with caramelized shallots and baby Swiss. Note: All Flatbreads are available on Gluten-free dough.

Appetizers ($5-$16) span the culinary gamut, from Asian (Organic Potstickers, Thai Shrimp Skewers, Tuna Poke), to Mediterranean (Organic Hummus Trio, Roasted Seasonal Veggies), to American Comfort (Short Rib Quesadilla, Turkey Chili, Blue Crab Cakes), to Continental (Spinach Pierogi Dumplings, Artisan Cheese Board, Charcuterie tastings). The Butternut Squash

www.bocaratontribune.com

Soup is particularly outstanding – rich and velvety, brimming with Autumnal comfort of pumpkin pie. It’s a definite ‘must try’ – but it’s a seasonal specialty, so you’ll have to wait until fall to try it. Fresh Salads showcase the restaurant’s Farm-To-Table, locally-sourced produce. The Super Grain Salad is like a customized selection from a Whole Foods salad bar.

Start with a heart-healthy ancient grains trio of Quinoa, Farro (a toothsome grain reminiscent of Buckwheat, popular in Tuscan dishes), and Freekeh (young green whole wheat that has been toasted and cracked, similar to wheat berries). The three super grains are joined by a bevy of co-stars, including baby Tuscan kale, Moroccan carrots, juicy pomegranate arils, toasted almonds, Greek Feta, and toasted pumpernickel breadcrumbs, tossed in a vibrant ginger carrot hummus vinaigrette, and topped with tangerine mint yogurt. Wow! It’s so damn good, you’ll forget how healthy it is. All Salads are offered in Small or Large size ($4-$16), and may be augmented with a variety of proteins.

For a great lunch or light dinner, the Grass-Fed Beef Burger is a winner — but the Grass-Fed Bison Burger (with Shitake mushrooms, baby Swiss, and Truffle aioli on a poppy seed onion roll) is even better! Other options include Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos, LatinAsian inspired Vietnamese Chicken Tacos; and substantial Entrée Salads like the Thai BBQ Shrimp, Steak & Wedge, Grilled Salmon, and a delightful Strawberry Patch Chicken Salad with baby spinach and goat cheese.

But for the true Harvest experience, don’t miss the Entrees. Like all items, the entrees seasonally, but there’s always a diverse offering, from light and mild to hearty and wild. Cedar Roasted Organic Salmon is a house specialty, decked out with roasted carrots, asparagus, grilled lemon and roasted fingerlings. Seared Sea Scallops with Brussels sprouts, Spicy Shrimp Noodle Bowl, and a luscious Macadamia Nut Crusted Halibut are other seaworthy options. My choice for Meat? Go for the Grass-Fed Filet Mignon, or the Braised Short Ribs with roasted root vegetables and roasted garlic mash. Other meaty options include Coq Au Vin, Stuffed Bone-in Duroc Pork Chops, and Braised Lamb Shank, and Local Lemon-Thyme Chicken. And fear not, Vegetarians, there’s plenty of offerings for you, as well. You’ll never miss the meat with hearty offerings like Local Mushroom Stroganoff, Seared Tofu Noodle Bowl, Winter Vegetable Stew (seasonal), and a Spaghetti Squash “Pasta” with roasted Creminis, toasted pistachios, garlic, truffle oil, and fresh grated Manchego cheese. Entrees run from $11$30, with accompanying veggies and sides.

Even the Desserts are thoughtfully presented in small “shot glass” portions, so you indulge in a “just a bite” of luscious Peanut Butter Cup, Key Lime Pie, seasonal Gelato, Sugar Plum Cobbler, or Banana Fluffernutter with only a slight bit of compunction. And don’t forget about the “Wine Bar” part of the name, with an extensive wine list including over 40 wines by the glass, plus a special Reserve Lets. The full bar also shakes up some potent potables, including specialty cocktails and local craft beers, which also change seasonally.

Harvest Seasonal Grill has really tapped into current dining trends and customer preferences. So put Harvest Seasonal Grill on your ‘Must Try’ list (it’s already tops on my own ‘Must Return’ list!)

sports FAU Baseball Looks To Finish Regular Season Strong By: Jack Rubin

As the college baseball season concludes, the Florida Atlantic Owls (3118-1, 16-11 C-USA) are in third place in the competitive Conference USA. Tuesday night saw the Owls take home a key victory over the UCF Knights at the new Ballpark of the Palm Beaches in West Palm Beach.

Florida Atlantic will play their last regular season series of the season this weekend against Old Dominion (35-17, 18-9 C-USA). They have already secured a spot in the Conference USA championships.

Virginia Tech kept the Owls second place chances alive on Tuesday by defeating Old Dominion, 8-4. A sweep of the Monarchs could push FAU back into second place to finish the regular season.

The Owls are currently tied for third place in the C-USA with Louisiana Tech, as they both hold conference records of 16-11. Whether FAU finishes second or third is dependent on how Louisiana Tech fares in their last series, but the Owls control their own destiny against Old Dominion.

The Owls have been a very inconsistent, streaky team over the past month.

April included a four-game winning streak, a four-game skid, and a five-game winning streak.

Despite a strong finish to April, FAU has stumbled through May so far with a record of 2-5. Their five losses consist of

a sweep at the hands of Southern Mississippi, and two to last place Western Kentucky.

These stretches of ups and downs dropped the Owls from second place to fourth in the C-USA.

Florida Atlantic’s May struggles were showcased in a crucial series against first place Southern Mississippi. Coming into the series, the Owls trailed Southern Miss by just one game for the conference lead. FAU’s pitching faltered all weekend, leading to a blowout loss and two consecutive walk-off losses. If the FAU bullpen could have closed out those games, their season would have taken a much different turn.

FAU left Hattiesburg with three losses and trailed the 40-12 (22-2 C-USA) Golden Eagles by four games. Losses in two of three games to the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers sunk the Owls to third place, but a strong finish can propel FAU back up to second. Their lone win against the Hilltoppers was crucial though, as it clinched their C-USA playoff berth.

The Owls started the final week of the regular season with a 9-4 win over the UCF Knights. FAU’s bats brought home seven runs in the first three innings en route to ensuring the season-series sweep over the Knights.

Florida Atlantic has a massive week ahead of them. Their final series against Old Dominion is arguably their most important test to date.

Boca Raton FC records first NPSL win 2-0 over Beaches FC

Boca Raton FC won its first NPSL Sunshine Conference game with a 2-0 victory over Beaches FC in Stuart on Wednesday night. Bruno Militz and Lorenzo Cava recorded second half goals as Boca Raton downed a ten-man Beaches FC squad. The home side were reduced to ten men when Colby Burnette, a former Boca Raton FC player was sent off in minute 45 after picking up two bookings in rapid succession.

After a sluggish start, both sides began to create chances about midway through the first half. The best opportunities fell to Boca Raton as the tempo of the match quickened. Militz just missed the target in minute 27 and four minutes later Shadi Harb hit the crossbar. In minute 35, Militz had a free kick from a dangerous area hit the wall. Throughout the first half, Militz, the Boca Raton FC Captain was dangerous, finding pockets of space behind the Beaches FC defense and making dangerous diagonal runs.

Beaches FC goalkeeper Elliot Barker was called into action repeatedly in

the first half but rose to the occasion as did defender Callum Chapman-Paige was both solid in defense and comfortable on the ball in starting Beaches FC’s buildup play. Beaches best first half opportunity came in minute 41 when striker Jordan Hall sent a dangerous free kick just over the far post.

Despite being reduced to ten men, Beaches FC had much of the ball the first seven minutes of the second half but then Militz beat the backline on a counter attack which was scored against the run of play. The fifty third minute goal allowed Boca Raton to play with more freedom for the remainder of the game. Beaches FC had a few chances to equalize but Cava put the match away with an 87th minute goal to seal all three points for Boca Raton.

These same two sides will face off next Wednesday at the Shipyard in Delray Beach. Game time is set for 7pm ET. Beaches FC host Kraze United this Sunday while Boca Raton FC will be off from NPSL action this weekend.
