COMMUNITY FAU Ranked By ‘U.S. News & World Report’ As Top Public School

U.S. News & World Report ranked Florida Atlantic University in its list of “Top Public Schools” in the nation for the first time in the university’s history, landing at No.140 in the annual ranking of the nation’s best universities. “Being recognized by U.S. News & World Reportin this way is a wonderful endorsement of the good work we have pursued,” said FAU President John Kelly. “This is just the beginning of our ascension into the top ranks of public universities in the United States as we continue to build on our successes and focus on strategic areas of improvement.” For the third year in a row, U.S. News & World Report included FAU on the list of the most ethnically diverse universities in the U.S. The magazine notes that FAU’s “diversity index” score of .68 (out of 1.0) tied with 11 other institutions, including Princeton University and Carnegie Mellon University. This score makes FAU the highest ranked public university in Florida for diversity. The Chronicle of Higher Educationalso ranked the FAU first among Florida public universities in the diversity index for their 2019-2020 Almanac of Higher Education. U.S. News & World Report also placed FAU at No. 45 in the nation in the magazine’s new “Social Mobility” ranking. This distinct ranking is computed using graduation rates of students receiving Pell grants and includes both public and private national universities. At FAU, Pelleligible students, first-generation students, African-American students and Hispanic students all outpace the university’s over-

all retention and graduation rates, which is an accomplishment that also eliminates the historical achievement gaps between minority and white students. FAU also has received federal designation as a Hispanic-Serving Institution by the U.S. Department of Education in 2017. This traditionally underserved group of students make up FAU’s largest minority undergraduate population, listed as 27 percent, followed by African-American students at 20 percent. “We are honored to serve as a vehicle to success for students looking to improve their lives and that of their families while also providing a highquality education to the most racially and culturally diverse student body in Florida's State University System,” said President Kelly. “More than half of our students are members of minority groups or have come to us from abroad, creating a richly varied college community that offers great benefits to everyone.” As a sign of faith in the university’s continued improvement, the Florida legislature recently funded the FAU 100 effort, a program of strategically targeted investments meant to further propel the university into the U.S. News & World Report Top 100 ranked public universities. “We are greatly appreciative of the Florida legislature’s faith and investment in us,” said President Kelly. “They have provided us with funds in strategic areas necessary to help us continue to soar in the national rankings. We are and will continue to be America’s fastest improving university.”

Boca Raton Library Presents “Technology for Improving Healthcare and Treatment” Researchers at Florida Atlantic University are using healthcare engineering to find solutions for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of illness. Join FAU’s Behnaz Ghoraani, Ph.D., as she shares the latest information and research in “Technology for Improving Healthcare and Treatment.” In this free presentation at the City of Boca Raton’s Downtown Library, Dr. Ghoraani will present her team’s novel engineering solutions to address the need for individualized therapeutic approaches in chronic diseases that occur more frequently as people age, such as atrial fibrillation and Parkinson’s disease. Dr. Ghoraani is a Faculty Fellow at the Institute for Sensing and Embedded Network Systems Engineering at Florida Atlantic University. She completed her Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada, in 2010. Dr. Ghoraani is the founder and director of the Biomedical Signal and Image Analysis (BSIA) Lab at FAU. Their multidisciplinary research has focused largely on developing innovative signal

analysis solutions to tackle big bottlenecks in data analytics with an emphasis on automated and reliable clinical decision-making systems and effective therapeutic techniques. The “FAU Research in Action” series is a yearlong collaboration between Florida Atlantic University’s Division of Research and the City of Boca Raton Libraries in which researchers share their innovative work and seek input from the community. Oyuki De Santiago Poletz, Program Services Librarian, notes, “Boca Raton is fortunate to have an active research university in our own backyard. This series is an excellent opportunity for our residents to engage with the experts at Florida Atlantic University and contribute to the direction of groundbreaking research.” “Technology for Improving Healthcare and Treatment” is free and open to the public.

Is the Proposed Brightline Train Station a Good Idea for Boca Raton? By: Christina Hristoforidis While plenty of Boca Raton residents are thrilled with the proposal of a Brightline station, there have been some concerns regarding whether or not a private for-profit rail service would prove beneficial to the city. In a letter sent on July 19 to Mayor Scott Singer, Brightline outlines the positive impacts of a station in the city. The company states that the station in Boca would, “…increase the quality of life, revitalize downtown, positively impact the environment, take cars off the road and provide a boost to Boca’s economy.” The service appeal of comfortable seating, eateries, spacious restrooms, and charging stations truly set Brightline apart from Tri-Rail and make the train feel like a first-class airplane. “Forget driving or renting a car this is the way to go,” states one review on Trip advisor, “It’s so comfortable and easy and the only civilized way to travel in South Florida.” The proposed site, adjacent to the Downtown Library and just a few blocks from Mizner Park, is a location in which Ben Porritt, Senior Vice President of Corporate Affairs at Brightline, believes the city will reap the benefits of a downtown station. “Boca Raton is a vibrant part of the South Florida region, rich in culture, education and healthcare. We want to be a part of its future,” says Porritt. “A station in Boca Raton would allow the city the ability to connect into a multi-billion dollar statewide transportation network that will offer connections to Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and soon Orlando.” Along with economic opportunities, a Brightline station in Boca Raton could also result in environmental benefits through the efficiency of train travel. “A Boca Raton station would bring all kinds of economic opportunities to the city and provide a mechanism for those who don’t live here to visit,” says City Council member, Monica Mayotte. “It opens up all kinds of areas some individuals may not have been able to previously travel to. Overall it’s a great way to travel through taking more cars off the road.” Boca Raton resident Ryan Krown, seconded the benefits of avoiding traffic by mentioning, “The steep price of a Brightline ticket is worth avoiding the inconvenience of hectic Florida drivers on the I-95 highway.” Nevertheless, while a shiny new train with all kinds of bells and whistles may appeal to the masses, Boca September 13 - September 19, 2019

Raton residents must also acknowledge the project’s negative impacts of cost, relocation of the community garden, and city re-zoning efforts. According to the July 19 letter, the city of Boca Raton would be required to donate the land necessary for the station, fund the construction of the parking garage and pedestrian bridge over Dixie Highway as well as, provide shuttle services and re-zoning requirements. Whereas, Brightline will provide the appropriate funds necessary for the construction of the physical train station and rail infrastructure improvements. Although specifics have yet to be discussed, it is clear to see that the city of Boca Raton will hold the majority of the station’s financial responsibilities. Skeptics wonder whether this project is truly financially feasible, with extreme cost estimates surfacing the internet. According to Boca Mag, a parking garage estimate price is around $20,000 per space, therefore, a garage of 600 spaces could cost around $12 million and a shuttle for downtown could result in a $600,000 cost per year. Brightline is currently working closely with city staff to determine costs but city council discussions on the station have currently been halted until Brightline presents the city with a formal proposal. Any privately owned company could face the possibility of bankruptcy in lieu of economic downfall. This can be demonstrated through the current bankruptcy of the hundred-milliondollar company IPIC Entertainment, so what if Brightline faces the same fate? The city of Boca would then provide millions to fund Brightline’s requests just to face financial burden. Brightline has high hopes in Boca Raton’s ability to assist them in surpassing their 100,000 passengers a month rate should the station be built, but can this truly be possible with the city’s demographic? Boca Raton resident Kandice Freedman, expresses her concerns on the success of the station due to the residents, “I feel Boca will not really benefit from a train station the way Deerfield and Boynton would because of the demographic. A small percentage of the population in Boca does not have their own transportation, majority would most likely stray away from using the trains.” Brightline prices average at a commuter cost of $350 to $450 a month, so would this even attract frequent riders?

EDITORIAL By C. Ron Allen

Beware: Dorian Recovery is Fertile Ground for Fraud, Scammers As Americans, our first impulse when disasters strike is to open our wallets, head to the store and volunteer our time. Now as Hurricane Dorian ravaged the Bahamas and continues its onslaught on the Carolinas, I am inundated with emails - as in past hurricanes - about efforts to pitch in and help the victims in the Bahamas. I am sure the Carolinas will soon be added to those lists. As I watched the live images of destruction and suffering emerging from the Bahamas, I also visualized an avalanche of well-intentioned giving – whether cash, food, clothing or rescue equipment – flowing into the island nation. I am sure, in comparison, it will rise to the level of or even higher than the floodwaters. I have been involved in disaster reporting, preparation or recovery over the past 30-plus years, whether as a news reporter, a member of the armed forces or as a member of the civic organization, Rotary International. I caution you, if the past is

prologue, and it always is, con artists or scammers will be coming out of the woodwork to cash in on the impulse of people who want to help in the wake of a disaster. Bear in mind that as natural disasters bring out the best in people, they also bring out the worst. History will show that without proper planning or research, your goodwill can turn sour. Be leery of posts from individuals claiming to raise relief funds, collection kettles for hurricane victims at local stores and crowdfunding websites. While they may be legitimate, such efforts may risk lives, complicate access by professional efforts and potentially divert donations. Sad to say but far too often, such solicitations are fraudulent. Surprisingly to me, since many people get their news from Facebook these days, they will likely receive requests for donations or fundraisers such as crowdfunding campaigns. Again, I caution you, if the fundraiser is not associated with an established charity, reconsider donating.

Donating to experienced disaster relief organizations is your best bet to provide emergency help for those impacted by hurricanes. You can give through a handful of known charitable organizations, some of which have a Palm Beach County-area presence. Well-known and reputable organizations such as the Rotary International, Cox Media Group (CMG) Miami and the Grand Celebration Cruise Line (Bahamas Paradise) are assisting hurricane victims in the Bahamas. Local Rotarians are collecting supplies to send to their counterparts to be distributed in the areas impacted. There are five Rotary clubs on Grand Bahama island, which is part of Rotary District 6990. Rotary International’s foundation has a Donor Advised Fund account for District 7680 disaster relief #574 where donors can specify where the monies are spent by island or country or Rotary District. Each Rotary District has its own fund, which the Rotarians will use at their discretion.

The Foundation also has a Disaster Fund, which will provide disaster grants up to $25,000. Donors, however, cannot designate where their donation will be spent. For more information on the Rotary International’s efforts, visit https://rotary6990.org/bahamas-hurricane-dorianrelief/. Broward County-based radio station, WHQT Hot 105.1 FM, which is heard in Palm Beach, Broward, Miami Dade and the Bahamas, had partnered with Winn-Dixie supermarkets in Broward and Miami-Dade Counties to collect donations. And the Deerfield Beach-based Bahamas Paradise cruise is accepting monetary donations online through its partner, Mission Resolve, and donated supplies at its Riviera Beach warehouse. The cruise line also sent a ship filled with food, water and other supplies, as well as volunteers and first responders to Freeport and will bring evacuees to Florida, the company said in a Facebook post on Thursday.

POSITIVE LIVING By Robert J. Tamasy

Pondering And Preparing Proper Plans What are your plans for 2019? Are you wanting to grow your business? Do you desire a promotion, or to find a new, more rewarding job? Maybe you want to make a complete career change? Or perhaps your greatest aspiration is to become an improved version of you? As another calendar year reaches its conclusion, it is time for many of us to again engage in two traditional activities: reviewing the past year, and planning for the new one. Planning has one advantage over reviewing. We cannot change the past, we can only assess it. In planning, however, we can start fresh, determining what we want to do, when, how, where, and even why. One common element of planning is the setting of goals. From a business standpoint, in light of what has transpired over the past year, as well as expectations for the future, September 13 - September 19, 2019

we can formulate plans for achieving certain levels of profit, productivity and growth. Plans are also useful, of course, on an individual level. We can establish goals for personal and professional growth and advancement, assessing where we are and where we would like to be at some point in the future. We might wish to build on accomplishments over the last 12 months, or pursue important changes for the attainment of goals that have remained beyond our reach. The adage says, “You’re either getting better or getting worse,” so we strategize about how to get better in future days, months and years. Countless articles and books have been written about effective goalsetting and planning, but they rarely take into account teachings and guidelines presented in the Bible. These can

be especially helpful for understanding the “why” of our goals and plans. So to assist as we engage in this annual process, here are just some examples to consider: Wealth. For many people, affluence is a major goal, the ability to attain a desired lifestyle. The Scriptures advise keeping a proper, realistic perspective. “Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint. Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle” (Proverbs 23:4-5). Excellence. We should continually strive to do the best work we possibly can, not for our own benefit, but also in recognition of who we represent and ultimately serve. “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared

www.bocaratontribune.com

in advance for us to do” (Ephesians 2:10). “Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve”(Colossians 3:23-24). Correct focus. How can we be confident that our goals are wellconceived? How can we be certain the plans we formulate are coming from the right motivations? “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you as well” (Matthew 6:33). Humility. In setting goals, we rarely consider virtues, such as humility. However, in many cases this is a quality that ensures enduring success. “Humility and the fear of the Lord bring wealth and honor and life” (Proverbs 22:4).

Tiger Bay Club Luncheon

Is this a Good Time for a Restart?

A large crowd of members showed up for the Tiger Bay Club luncheon on Wednesday to hear House of Representative speakers, Mike Caruso (R) and Tina Polsky (D) speak of the different bills they have passed and different views on a large matter of subjects. Very interesting informative afternoon.

A calendar year has 12 months, but during the summer months many of us experience a notable change in work demands and schedules. Businesses often find employees distracted with their children being home for the summer, taking their annual break from school. Many workers are eagerly anticipating vacations for times of much-needed rest and relaxation. Either way, they receive a break from the daily demands of work. In some cultures, such as in Europe, during the summer months work staffs can take extended holiday breaks from their regular work routine. “Business as usual” slows, or comes to a sudden halt. With this slowdown in the pace and momentum of the work, business teams become shorthanded temporarily. A question then becomes how to use this time most usefully. In a general sense, the conclusion of a school year or time for staff vacations can serve as an excellent time for a restart. This might involve meeting with your staff as they are available, casting vision for the coming months. It becomes a time for reenergizing and refocusing your team. These “down times” can prove to be as important as the periods of concentrated productivity. Offering your team an opportunity to remember why they are there can help your organization in being more productive in the future. The Bible gives a humorous description of people who lacked any focus for their activity: “The assembly was in confusion: Some were shouting one thing, some another. Most of the people did not even know why they were there” (Acts 19:32). While the context was not about people in business,

www.bocaratontribune.com

it could describe corporate teams who have become so busy they have forgotten their overall mission and goals. There is a temptation to insist on being busy for the sake of being busy. This brings to mind the boss who ran through the office shouting, “Don’t just stand there! Do something! Even if it’s wrong!” Sadly, this can be result in waste of effort and energy, and unintended lack of productivity. As a passage in the Bible’s Old Testament states so well, “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven…. A time to plant and a time to uproot…a time to tear down and a time to build…a time to tear and a time to mend…a time to be silent and a time to speak” (Ecclesiastes 3:1-7). There is a time for moving forward – and should be a time for pausing to review how far we have come and where we hope to be going. We see this theme, the recognition of times when starting over is necessary, recurring in the Bible. For instance, after spending many years building an ark and then experiencing the great flood, Noah needed a restart. We see him receiving it in Genesis 9:1, “Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, ‘Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.’” This signified the time for mankind’s literal restart. Your organization might not have just endured a great flood – or a major calamity – but a lull in the usual work routine should be welcomed. If you sense it is time for a restart with your team, don’t wait. Schedule a meeting today! Review questions like, “Why are we here?” and “Where are we going?”

Most dental insurance plans accepted, and procedures are kept simple for the patient's best interest and comfort. Clients can set up a visit by calling 704-254-9500. "I'm excited to offer my 23 years of dental experience with a comfortable 'house call' dentistry delivery system," said Dr. Berglass, a partner in The Dental Valet.

Shop For Success” Pop-Up At Palm Beach Outlets “Shop for Success”, the annual pop-up sale featuring fashion bargains of up to 70% off designer and name brand labels, is returning to Palm Beach Outlets, Thursday, October 3 – Sunday, October 6. Now in its fifth year, the flash retail experience benefits Dress for Success Palm Beaches, the nonprofit that empowers women to achieve economic independence by providing not only head-to-toe workplace wardrobing, but also courses and coaching to build self-esteem and job readiness. A ticketed VIP Preview Reception on Thursday, October 3, 6-9 p.m., officially kicks off the opening of the pop-up and is the perfect opportunity for diehard fashionistas to enjoy an advance shopping night with Champagne, hors d’oeuvres and entertainment. Tickets for this launch are limited; $45 for Early Birds who register by September 20; $50 for all others. Ticket purchase is online only at https://dressforsuccesspalmbeaches. General public shopping hours on the following three days are Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. until 9 p.m., and Sunday, 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. The “Shop for Success” inventory is a who’s who of both popular everyday wear and top-tier fashion names, from Ann Taylor to Armani, Brooks Brothers to Escada and Lilly Pulitzer to Tory Burch. Some items are gently worn,

some still with original price tags. All were generously donated to Dress for Success but don’t quite fit the criteria the organization upholds for the workplace attire that it provides to clients at no cost. In addition to clothing in sizes petite to plus, an array of accessories is offered including shoes, handbags, jewelry, sunglasses, belts and scarves. The pricing is by category. So, for example, dresses are $12, suits $15, skirts and shoes, $10. The deals found in the pop-up’s “Couture Corner” are equally tempting, with prices as low as $35 for items like Ferragamo shoes, Chanel jackets or St. John pants. Stepping up to co-chair this year’s event for the first time are DFSPB Board members Lori Everett, director of human resources for Queen of Pawns, and Karen Velez, principal of The Velez Law Firm, P.A. They’ve recruited more than 100 volunteers who will be helping throughout the four-day event as sales associates, dressing room attendants, and cashiers. Palm Beach Outlets each year provides the temporary space occupied by “Shop for Success” as an in-kind contribution, utilizing an empty storefront. Good Greek Moving and Storage is another generous partner, transporting the merchandise pro bono for DFSPB.

Business Looking To Donate Mobile Kitchen to Bahamas Hurricane Relief Donating small items like bottled water and canned goods is easy, but one West Palm Beach, Florida business is looking to donate an entire $100,000 portable kitchen to Bahamas hurricane relief. Banyan Cay Resort & Golf, located in the heart of West Palm Beach, Florida is looking for someone who can transport their entire mobile kitchen to the Bahamas. The kitchen, which is the size of a small trailer, was the main kitchen for the club during recent construction. Club owner Domenic Gatto, Jr. says he is hoping to find someone who can transport the kitchen to the Bahamas so it can be put to good use. “I’ve been watching the news, and there is so much destruction. I real-

ized while so many people are donating food, there are areas so devastated there isn’t the simple infrastructure needed to offer hot meals to survivors. We have this mobile kitchen just sitting here. If we can find an organization that can handle getting it over there, I know it can help,” said Gatto, Jr. The club is hoping an organization will come forward and help transport the kitchen to where it can do the most good. In addition, Banyan Cay Resort & Golf is holding a charity tournament this weekend to raise money for relief efforts. All the proceeds raised will be donated to hurricane relief. Any organization able to assist with moving the kitchen should contact the club.

FAU Falls to UCF in Front of 30,811 fans at FAU Stadium

The Florida Atlantic University football team played its second top-20 opponent in as many games, losing 48-16 to 18th-ranked UCF on Saturday night. On the opening drive and aided by two FAU penalties, the Knights (2-0) went 75 yards in seven plays to take an early 7-0 lead. After a nice kickoff return, the Owls begin their first possession at midfield. Chris Robison found Harrison Bryant on 4th and 5 for an FAU first down before the Owls were forced to punt later in the possession. The Knights quickly turned the new possession into a 57-yard touchdown pass to go up 14-0 with 9:36 left in the first quarter. The Owls went three and out on their second possession of the game.

PBA Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Soccer Powers to Win over Conquistadors In their first contest of the 2019 campaign, the Sailfish women's soccer team shutout Florida National University by a score of 3-0. With the victory, PBA extended its streak of wins in season openers to five. Palm Beach Atlantic (1-0-0) controlled much of the play for the competition by maintaining possession in FNU's defensive third. Despite an attacking presence that out-shot the Conquistadors 13-2 in the first half, the Sailfish failed to get on the board until late in the initial period. The possession finally paid off in the 38th minute, when freshman forward Taylor Camp turned in the box and was fouled. Junior Carrie Jones, who played in 17 matches last season, sent the FNU keeper the wrong way on the ensuing penalty and calmly slotted the ball into the left-side netting to break through for PBA. Jones' tally was the only goal of the first 45 minutes, but the midfielder would strike again early in the second half. In the 58th minute, Karina Williams received a ball in the penalty area, but with the Florida National goalkeeper bearing down on her, the Dallas native instinctively dropped the ball to Jones, who easily chipped the ball into the back

of the net from 20 yards out to double the Palm Beach Atlantic advantage. Just seven minutes after Jones completed her brace, freshman Michaela Boyd got on the scoresheet with her first collegiate goal. Fellow freshman Meagan Brown sent a dipping cross into the area, which struck the crossbar and bounced to Boyd. The midfielder settled the bouncing ball and blasted it into the net to cap off the emphatic 3-0 win. "It was great to get out and finally get our season started. I think we always want more, but I was happy with the result and that we improved as the game went on. We had a lot of possession and give credit to FNU because they were hard to break down defensively for us tonight," said Head Coach Chris Gnehm. Gnehm's squad earned eight corners to Florida National's mere one, while recording 25 shots on offense and limiting FNU to just two, none on target. "We are looking forward to continuing our development as a team and can take a lot of positives away from tonight as we head into our games this weekend," Gnehm added. PBA will now travel to Belmont, N.C. to face Belmont Abbey on Friday. Kickoff is scheduled for 4 p.m.
