Mayor Announces Quiet Zones in Boca Raton & Reiterates Safety Boca Raton Mayor, Scott Singer, held a press conference on Wednesday morning, May 30 at the historic Count de Hoernle Train Pavilion to announce the implementation of the Quiet Zones along the FEC corridor. The Quiet Zones go into effect at 11:59pm on May 30, 2018. The Quiet Zones, which required supplemental safety measures, including four quadrant gates and additional signage, were funded by the Palm Beach Transportation Planning Agency and constructed by Brightline. All 10 railroad crossings in Boca Raton are a part of the quiet zone, and the “no train horn” areas apply to freight and Brightline trains.

COMMUNITY Mayor Announces Quiet Zones in Hurricane Season 2018: Clean and Boca Raton & Reiterates Safety Cut Program By: Michael Demyan
Boca Raton Mayor, Scott Singer, held a press conference on Wednesday morning, May 30 at the historic Count de Hoernle Train Pavilion to announce the implementation of the Quiet Zones along the FEC corridor. The Quiet Zones go into effect at 11:59pm on May 30, 2018. The Quiet Zones, which required supplemental safety measures, including four quadrant gates and additional signage, were funded by the Palm Beach Transportation Planning Agency and constructed by Brightline. All 10 railroad crossings in Boca Raton are a part of the quiet zone, and the “no train horn” areas apply to freight and Brightline trains. Train horns may still be used in emergency situations or to comply with Federal regulations or operating rules. The quiet zones, which will be a welcome relief to many residents who
live near the FEC corridor, will also require pedestrians, bicyclists and drivers to adhere to all safety precautions. It is never safe to attempt to beat a train or cross the tracks when lights are flashing and gates are down. Pedestrians and bicyclists should remove headphones when crossing the tracks and should only cross at designated crossings. Brightline’s Operation Life Saver program encourages people to make the safe choice, stay off the tracks and know the signs and signals. Mayor Singer was joined by Council members Andrea Levine O’Rourke and Monica Mayotte, as well as County Commissioner Steven Abrams, members of the Boca Raton Police and Fire Departments, and Ali Soule, Director of Public Affairs and Media Relations for Brightline.
After Subtropical Storm Alberto passed by South Florida, it is a big reminder that hurricane season officially begins on June 1 and Boca Raton is responding by offering special bulk and vegetation pickup during the next month. It is being named the Clean and Cut Program and is meant to get residents prepared for any severe weather during the upcoming summer months. Many who have experienced hurricanes and tropical storms before know that they can sometimes only get mere days of warning before the storms hits, so it is always a good idea to keep trees and shrubs trimmed. When Hurricane Irma hit the state in September of last year, many residents made last minute preparations by cutting trees and cleaning. The City of Boca Raton and the rest of South Florida were not ready for the large amount of debris that needed to be picked up in the days leading up to the storm. Numerous homes around Palm Beach County were even left with dangerous debris still left outside as the high winds tore through the state. The Clean
and Cut Program was created this year because of that problem. “Once Irma was headed our way, residents began cleaning out garages and trimming trees to secure their properties,” Municipal Services Director Dan Grippo said. “The sheer volume of debris just overwhelmed the system. It got to the point where we couldn’t pick up because we had nowhere to dump the debris. Residents were frustrated, and we knew we had to help get them prepared earlier this year.” The additional bulk and vegetation pickup will be free for all residents within the city limits and will be scheduled to happen on various Wednesdays and Saturdays, depending on the resident’s normal pickup day. For those who have normal pickup on Mondays the extra vegetation pickup will be on June 2, while the extra bulk pickup will be on June 6. Normal Tuesday pickups will have extra days on June 9 and June 13. June 16 and June 20 will be the extra days for normal Thursday pickups, while those who have normal pickups on Fridays will get their extra days on June 23 and June 27.

The Boca Raton Tribune is proud to announce that the Boca Raton Tribune Candidate Forum will take place on August 17 and 24 at the Boca Raton Community Center this year as the city gets ready for the special election on August 28. All candidates running for the City Council Seat A, and Mayoral Seat, will all have an equal opportunity to give Boca Raton residents their best reason as to why they should win their vote for the special election. Like years past, the forum will be broken up into two days. The Seat A candidate forum is scheduled for August 17, and the Mayoral forum is set for August 24. Both forums will take place at the Boca Raton Community Center, located at 150 Crawford Blvd, Boca Raton, FL 33432. "We are excited to continue our tradition of having the Boca Raton Tribune Candidate Forum the last two weeks before election day," said publisher Douglas Heizer. "We were unable to have our Candidate Forum back in March so we are excited to be able to have another chance to get our Forum for the residents of the city in this very important time." The event is free and open to the public, however, due to seat limitations, you must register online to receive your complimentary ticket. To get your ticket, please email us at tickets@bocaratontribune.com. Readers and residents are encouraged to submit their questions, as the forum will be based mostly on readergenerated questions. Questions should be sent to candidateforum@bocaraton-
tribune.com or post to the newspaper’s Facebook page; reference the upcoming Candidates Forum along with your query. Questions will be reviewed by the Boca Raton Tribune’s editorial staff, and Editor C. Ron Allen, who will be the Forum’s moderator. With a partnership with Boca Chamber Radio, the Boca Raton Tribune Candidate Forum will be broadcasted live via the Boca Chamber Radio as they will have all the election coverage throughout the campaign season. "The Boca Raton Tribune Candidate Forum has been one of the marquee events for the Political season in Boca Raton and we are proud to have partnered with The Boca Raton Tribune in making this event even better," added Boca Chamber Radio's Dean Miuccio. "Boca Chamber Radio and The Boca Raton Tribune will be your number one source of all your political news this elections cycle." Furthermore, as a new part of the process that will further assist residents make an education decision in the polls, The Boca Raton Tribune will prerecord interviews with all candidates and have it broadcasted live on Boca Chamber Radio's Good Morning Boca radio show.

EDITORIAL By C. Ron Allen
Putting the Community in Community Improvement Although Mother’s Day is in our rearview mirror, I need to take a moment and wish all our mothers a happy belated Mother’s Day. I would’ve done so in last week’s column but I was forced to change my topic at press time after learning of the passing of long time Delray Beach police officer and community servant Sgt. Rev. Matthew “Bump” Mitchell. To say the least, I thank God for all mothers in their respective places, whether you are a birth mother, a caregiver, a surrogate, godmother, grandmother or just someone who is there for a child when love is needed. Lest I forget, you are incredible, multifaceted, magnificent, and wise, and I thank God for filling all mothers’ heart with love as well as for instilling in them the need to protect
their children whenever possible. Just days after we celebrated Mother’s Day, a friend called to say that a mother and her child were evicted from their apartment and had nowhere to go. They wanted to know if I had any resources to help or knew where they could turn to for assistance. The child had missed a few days of school, which concerned the principal. Upon learning of the crisis, the director of the city’s Community Improvement Department, my friend, Capt. Michael Coleman, decided to do what he does best – help the less fortunate. He tasked a few employees with coming up with a solution and they reached out to their contacts across the city. The operator of one of the more reputable recovery centers provided shelter for a week, and
our friend, Pedro Andrade of Anthony’s Pizza, fed them dinner. The local WalMart also gave them groceries. Coleman even gave the child $5 and challenged her not to miss another day. This is the second time in recent months that the Delray Beach Community Improvement Department team has rallied to the aid of a local resident who was down on her luck. The mother of two had been evicted and employees found her temporary shelter, got her groceries and $80 gas for her sports utility vehicle. Over the last three years, that department has been more than group of public servants who enforce city codes, hammer property owners for aesthetic infractions or provide monies for residents who need to give
their homes a facelift. They have become social workers who have literally taken the term community improvement to another level. It is not unusual to find department employees installing decorative street light posts on West Atlantic Avenue, a stretch along the city’s major east west corridor, which had been ignored for years. The workers are also charged with keeping the streets downtown clean. In fact, their unofficial motto is “making our downtown cleaner than a whistle, just like Disney World.” It is no surprise why so many other cities across the county and neighboring counties are using the city’s Community Improvement Department as a model. As they often say, “they get it right in Delray Beach.”
POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.
Keeping Your Word! Never accommodate yourself to the irresponsible actions of others, much less your own. People need to be held accountable to their commitments, their promises, and whatever else is expected of them! Many persons hope that keeping silent about a duty not executed, a project not completed, a promised not fulfilled will make them disappear, or cause people to forget about it. Yet, usually such is not the case. The expectant individual will fill his or her mind with bad thoughts about the failure carried out by the other person. There’s no scale of signifi-
cance about whatever is promised but never delivered. As insignificant as a commitment may be to respond in some fashion, at a specific day or time, one’s word must count for something. There are people who even volunteer for things they know in advance they shall never tackle, much less complete! However, society cannot function adequately unless its members look more seriously at every commitment made, however small they might appear to be. Others are counting on its completion and delivery. It’s reasonable for anyone to be casual and spontaneous in certain
things, but that should never apply to duties upon which so many others depend. No one has the right to break a promise without timely informing those to whom it was made. It may be a phone call with information sought by another, an e-mail or letter to be written, a recommendation to be provided, a purchase to be secured et al. It’s often in smaller things that major blunders are created, and enduring disappointments take place! Although lack of seriousness in the fulfillment of smaller or greater responsibilities has existed throughout human history, it appears that the
current age may eventually be classified in history by varied designations, one of which might well be “the age of irresponsibility.” People today never measure the consequences of their actions or inaction even about significant issues! Make your “yes” always run swiftly to respond to what is expected of you, timely and efficiently. By the same token, may your “no” dispel any doubt in anyone’s mind about where you stand on a matter, great or small! In all situations, always keep your word!

Brandi Abrahams housewarming party
On the eve of the Royal Wedding I attended Brandi Abrahams housewarming party along with 100 other people. Several of my Black Hat Diva’s were in attendance along with several friends.
The Importance of a Unique Mission When you go to work, does having a sense of mission – an underlying purpose – factor into how much you enjoy what you do? An article in Wall Street Journal, a respected business periodical, discussed the increasing focus corporations are now putting on their employees’ need for a sense of purpose in their work. For many of them, having a job to perform and earning a regular paycheck is not sufficient – they also want to feel their work has deeper meaning. This concern is shared by many people as they evaluate their investment options. For instance, Factiva, an online business information and research tool, discovered the words “mission” “higher purpose,” or “changing the world” were discussed 3,243 times by investors with their financial advisors on recorded phone calls in 2014, compared to only 2,318 times five years before. One reason for this significant surge in interest is generational. There is a strong emphasis among many men and women in the so-called “millennial generation” who want to work somewhere that is making a difference in the world. They want their vocations – and the companies that employ them – to contribute positively to people that use their products and services, communities where they are located, and to the world at large. Many businesses and organizations already have statements of mission, vision and values, so they can readily address the desire for a greater purpose that many of their workers and prospective employees have. A well-articulated mission statement helps an individual to quickly discern whether a company’s overriding purpose and their own are in alignment.
For those of us that see our work as an expression of our spiritual convictions, this also makes a lot of sense. The Bible teaches vocational pursuits are part of God’s calling and His plan for us to participate in His creation constructively. “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Ephesians 2:10). In other words, the gifts and talents we possess are not arbitrary, but divinely given for us to participate in God’s work locally and globally. As employers, executives and managers, one of the ways we can best serve those working under our direction is to communicate how much we value the ways God has designed them and our business for His unique purposes. This can also serve as a good recruiting tool, showing job seekers that the company has an understanding of its role in society and how individual members of the team can contribute toward achieving that purpose. People who find meaning in their work and pursue excellence in all they do typically find their jobs more fulfilling and rewarding, and not just in terms of compensation. And that dedication deserves genuine recognition and appreciation. As Proverbs 22:29 states, “Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve before kings; he will not serve before obscure men.” When workers feel they are “on a mission,” undertaking tasks and responsibilities that transcend mere deadlines and quotas, they become inspired, highly motivated and more productive. The company benefits as well, making it a win-win situation for everyone.

Boca Raton, A City Unlike Any Other
Although the City of Boca Raton just completed its 93rd birthday on May 26, the city has been around much longer, and the history of this amazing city we all call home is rich and compelling. From its name to the people who call this city their hometown, Boca Raton is always in the tip of the tongue, and always associated with the extravagant lifestyle. The name "Boca Raton" has always aroused curiosity. Many people wrongly assume the name is simply translated to Rat's Mouth. The Spanish word boca, or mouth, often describes an inlet, while raton means literally, mouse. The term Boca de Ratones or Boca Ratones, was used as a navigational reference to a rocky or jagged inlet, but the original location of Boca de Ratones was Biscayne Bay near present day Miami Beach, according to eighteenth century maps. However, by the beginning of the nineteenth century, the term was mistakenly applied to the current Lake Boca Raton. The earliest known inhabitants of the Boca Raton area were the Tequesta Indians, who lived in communities near the ocean as long ago as one thousand years until the eighteenth century. The construction of the Florida East Coast Canal (today's Intracoastal) and the
June 1 - June 7, 2018
Florida East Coast Railway in the 1890s made the region accessible to a group of resourceful pioneers. By the early 1900s Boca Raton was a tiny agricultural community, in which many of the farmers specialized in pineapple cultivation. Amongst these were a group of Japanese immigrants under the leadership of Joseph Sakai, who formed a community along today's Yamato Road in 1904. On May 26, 1925, the Town of Boca Raton was incorporated at the height of the Florida land boom. The town council commissioned noted society architect Addison Mizner to plan a worldclass resort community. His exclusive hotel, known as the Cloister Inn, was completed in 1926 and continues its reign as a city landmark as the Boca Raton Resort & Club. Although many of Mizner's plans for the young community were squelched by the demise of the land boom in 1926, a few survive today—and his architectural style continues to influence the city. One of Mizner's projects was a design for a city hall for Boca Raton. Completed by Delray architect William Alsmeyer in 1927, Town Hall at 71 North Federal Highway still bears the original footprint of the Mizner design, and was constructed using ironwork, tile, and woodwork supplied by Mizner Industries. Today the restored Town Hall is the home of the Boca Raton Historical Society and its History Museum. In the 1930s and 40s, Boca was known for its winter vegetable crop, particularly the green beans which commanded a premium in northern markets.
In 1942, the Army Air Corps established its only war-time radar training school at the site of what is today FAU. and the Boca Raton Airport. The facility brought thousands of servicemen as well as families and civilian employees to the tiny community of Boca Raton, with a population of 723 in 1940. In the 1950s, the still small town played host to a safari park called Africa USA which opened where the Camino Gardens development stands now. E. G. Barnhill offered an attraction called Ancient America on the site of prehistoric burial mounds on U.S. One in the area of today's Sanctuary neighborhood. And the Winter Bible Conference Grounds, known as Bibletown (now known as Boca Raton Community Church), was established in buildings of the former Airfield. In the 1960s, South Florida experienced another great land boom, with developments pushing the Everglades and former farmlands increasingly westward. The population grew to almost 30,000 residents by 1970, continuing to increase well outside city limits to this day.
www.bocaratontribune.com
In 1962, FAU opened its doors, in the site of the old army airbase. IBM moved one of its computer facilities to Boca Raton in 1967, and in 1981, it was there that the first IBM PC, or personal computer, was developed. During the 1980s and 1990s, the city focused much of its attention on downtown redevelopment, and a number of important historical properties, such as Boca Raton's original Town Hall and F.E.C. Railway Station were restored and opened to the public. Many fine cultural facilities, such as the Boca Raton Museum of Art, have grown up to meet the needs of the growing population. From a little farming town of only 18 residents back in 1903, Boca Raton is now home to over 80,000 residents in its city limits, and another 120,000 in the unincorporated "West Boca Raton" area. Boca Raton is the core of the south Palm Beach County metropolitan community, offering beautiful parks and facilities, economic opportunities, and a unique quality of life that is the envy of its neighbors.

Let’s keep Boca Raton true to the slogan that has made this place so special; to wit: “a city within a park”. Al Zucaro, BocaWatch Publisher and Candidate for Mayor
Aloysio Vasconcellos Chairman, Brazil International Foundation
My family has chosen Boca Raton as our home, after living in four continents as part of a global community. Boca Raton has become a magnet to Regional and World Headquarters which in turn has made our city more cosmopolita and International.
Congratulations to the City of Boca Raton on its 93rd anniversary! As our great city approaches nearly a century, we see how we have met the vision of Addison Mizner of an unparalleled resort oasis and surpassed what were the wildest dreams back at our founding in 1925. We are a thriving metropolis, with the business presence of a city several times our city. Our brand is renowned internationally, and growing stronger with the addition of a Customs facility that opened this week at our own Boca Raton Airport. With growth in our technology businesses and universities, we are poised to continue the spirit of innovation that created the IBM PC here in our city. More than that, it is the spirit of our residents that makes Boca Raton such a warm, livable, and philanthropic community. We continue to an enviable quality of life - a safe, vibrant community with beautiful beaches and parks, entertainment and culture, and great neighborhoods. They say every year after 90 is a milestone - wishing and working hard to give our great community and our people many more.
Congratulations to the City of Boca Raton! The beauty, class, and culture, woven through your ninety-three years has offered a city in which businesses and residents are very proud to call their home; a place where snow birds flock to share all that our vibrant city has to offer; a city where travelers find the perfect destination.
We have great schools and universities, both public and private. We have a medical school and a Bowl winning football team with an NFL caliber coach, which makes us more attractive to a younger population. Culture and entertainment are within our reach. Our Museum of Art, Mizner Amphitheater, the Wick Theater and the golf courses among many great choices. Children can learn and play at our parks, practice sports, visit Gumbo Limbo and our beloved Children’s Museum. Our beaches provide an escape just a few minutes drive or walk away. All this and a fantastic group of individuals and organizations committed to improve the community by assisting children, women, the homeless and underprivileged make Boca Raton the City were we want to live and help raise our grandchildren. Boca Raton cheers and happy 93rd birthday!!! MarySol Gonzalez
attracting young entrepreneurs and visionaries, further perpetuating the city’s undeniable growth. Add to this the recreational amenities the city offers including our wonderful Beaches and Parks that were created and protected by forward thinking individuals.
Happy 93rd Birthday Boca Raton! The city of Boca Raton was officially incorporated with that name in May 1925. A little known fact is that the city was originally incorporated in August 1924 with the name Bocaratone. How much easier life may have been without having to correct those that pronounce our beloved name as Boca Ratahn. Every birthday brings with it a time for celebration, and Boca Raton has much to celebrate, beginning with its history. Through the years we have grown and transitioned from; an agricultural community, to resort area, to military base, to tourist destination (Africa USA), to High Tech Hub (IBM, Siemens, etc.).
Indeed, Boca Raton (aka Boca de Ratones, aka Bocaratone), is a special place. It has faced challenges in the past and will continue to face challenges in the future. Among those challenges is population growth. A just released population estimate by the US Census Bureau pegs Boca’s July 1, 2017 head count at 98,150. A 16.3% growth since 2010. It is anticipated that the city’s population could total 100,000 by the end of 2018. With current demographic trends of retiring boomers and higher tax rates in other states there is no sign that growth rates will abate anytime soon. Therefore, it is important that city leadership provide the proper planning and creative vision that will allow the city to maintain its special character. To further overuse an overused phrase, people do want to “Live, Work and Play” in Boca Raton. Can you blame them? Happy Birthday to our beloved city, our home! Andrea Levine O’Rourke City Council Member/CRA Chairman

Gift Establishes Women In Leadership Program at FAU Kathleen E. Brush, Ph.D., a business executive, strategy consultant and author, has donated more than $1.3 million to Florida Atlantic University’s College of Business to establish the Kathleen Brush Program for Women in Leadership. Brush, who earned an M.B.A. from FAU in 1980, approached a few other universities with her idea to create a program for women in leadership, and they all expressed some degree of interest, she said, “but FAU was the only one that said we support gender equality in leadership, we want to be part of the solution.” At lower levels of management, Brush said, women are almost at a point of parity with men, but at each successive level the gap grows wider. “When you get to the top, women are almost non-existent,” said Brush, who has created three scholarships for the program. “In the Fortune 500 today, only 4.8 percent of CEOs are women.” The Kathleen Brush Program for Women in Leadership is a certificate program that will be launched as part of FAU’s Executive Education offerings. The program will feature a mentoring program and emphasize applying theory-to-practice and networking. Each cohort of students, Brush said, provides a great opportunity to develop a lasting network that helps one another move forward. “For the past 15 months, I have been working with FAU and women business leaders in South Florida to develop a program that is designed to give women a competitive skills advantage over their male competitor,” she said. “We believe this formula will

increase the probability that our graduates are promoted.” The academic focus will address women-specific challenges, such as being a mother and a leader and dealing with gender bias. Brush, who has been an executive with several companies, has been working as a global leadership, business and strategy consultant since 2009. A resident of Seattle, Brush will be actively involved in the program at FAU. The target market initially will be midcareer female executives, she said. “We want our students to already understand some of the challenges that exist in the workplace,” Brush said. Daniel Gropper, Ph.D., dean of FAU’s College of Business, said the program will allow the university to expand on the leadership education it offers to all of its students. “The College of Business prepares students to become the business leaders of tomorrow,” Gropper said. “We are thankful that one of our graduates, Kathleen Brush, has given us this opportunity, through her financial gift and the experience she has gained as a successful business leader in the tech industry, to design a program that will provide women with the education and the tools they need to reach the top of the corporate ladder.” Brush has found that the program is being well received, as many women have thanked her for bringing the program to FAU and also to South Florida. “A lot of the women that I’ve spoken to are older women,” she said. “And their response has been like, ‘Alleluia, let’s do this.’”

Boca Dance Studio Patners with Carol Colbert School of Dance
Boca Dance Studio has partnered with Carol Colbert School of Dance for an unprecedented business transition in the Boca community. What could have easily been a rivalry between the two local dance studios has instead become an alliance of likeminded educators. Melanie Gibbs, coowner of Boca Dance Studio, has worked closely with Carol Colbert Skubal, owner of Carol Colbert School of Dance, as Skubal plans to close the doors to her business and retire this summer. The two studio owners have agreed that Boca Dance Studio will become the new “dance home” for students from Carol Colbert School of Dance upon Skubal’s retirement. Guiding her students into this next chapter has been a top priority for Skubal, who felt that Boca Dance Studio’s More Than Just Great Dancing® mission aligned perfectly with her intentions. “After 32 years of performing, teaching, judging for national competitions, and owning my own business, I’ve learned that my clients value high-quality classes
and a loving environment,” says Skubal. “I knew Boca Dance Studio would be the right fit for my students to continue on their dance journey.” Boca Dance Studio will host a private meet-and-greet event for Carol Colbert School of Dance students to welcome them and allow them to get to know the studio. The students will officially become part of Boca Dance Studio after the Carol Colbert School of Dance’s final recital performance. “We are honored to have worked so closely with Carol in crafting this transition for her dancers,” says Gibbs. “It speaks to her character as an educator and a business owner that she would have the vision to guide her kids in this way. We congratulate her on 32 successful years of business in Boca!” While Gibbs and Skubal didn’t originally set out on a mission to prove that businesses can transcend competition, that’s exactly what happened. Both owners feel privileged to show their students how working side-by-side with other studios can result in a positive outcome for all.

SPORTS Boca Raton FC Wins Second in a Row Behind Ayrolla’s 4 Goals
Boca Raton Football Club was able to get their second win in a row as the club defeated Storm FC at Central Broward Regional Park 4-0 on Saturday night. Boca Raton’s offense got off to a slow start as they played through the rain and worked on their rhythm. The ball was played a lot in Boca Raton’s territory as the Storm did create pressure for the defense as they played strong, desperately looking for a goal. However, the Boca Raton FC backline was able to contain the threats and in the 20th minute, Boca Raton found the breakthrough as Kyle Giscombe made a pass from the left side of the field to a streaking Matheus Ayrolla who was able to finish it and score his first of the night. After the half, Boca Raton came into the game with more firepower and looked to capitalize early and it didn’t take long. In the 46th minute, Giovanni Amoroso makes a beautiful volley to Ayrolla who hit it with force into the upper 90 with no chance for the Storm FC goalkeeper to grab it. Boca Raton’s mentality on the field was very offensive, and it showed as they were able to keep the ball deep in Storm’s zone. At the 61st minute, Ayrolla added his third of the night as the forward was blasted through the defend-
ers to be just at the right place as Noah Graziano swung the ball into a wide open Ayrolla. With a strong pressure on the backline, Boca Raton was able to defend well versus a Storm team that has yet to find their first goal of the NPSL season. “We played a good game tonight,” said head coach Jim Rooney. “We had good chances, and the team was moving the ball well despite the weather conditions not being the best.” Boca Raton continued to put the foot on the gas, and in the 81st minute, Ayrolla added his fourth of the night, when after a scuffle in the box, he was able to cooly grab the ball, dribble past a defender and put it away from the keeper. “My teammates kept finding me tonight,” said Ayrolla after the match. “We played our game and did exactly what coach Rooney asked of us, the game was a great team effort, I thought it was an awesome win. It was exciting to not allow any goals and have our first shutout of the season.” With his four goals, Ayrolla now holds the record with most goals in a game by a Boca Raton FC player. Up next, your Boys in Blue will take on Miami FC 2 at The Shipyard at Atlantic High School on Saturday, June 2. Tickets will are on sale at www.bocaratonfc.com/tickets.
Matheus Ayrolla Named NPSL National Player of the Week
Boca Raton FC forward Matheus Ayrolla has been selected as the 11th NPSL National Player of the Week for the 2018 NPSL season. “It’s humbling to receive the National Player of the Week award,” Ayrolla commented. “I’m thankful to the Boca Raton FC organization and the coaching staff for putting their trust in me and giving me the opportunity to defend the crest proudly. I couldn’t do this without my teammates, and we will continue to work hard and get better every game as we look ahead to a tough matchup this weekend.” Ayrolla scored four goals in a 4-0 win over Storm FC and now leads the Sunshine Conference in goals. “This award is a testament to Matheus’ work ethic,” Boca Raton FC head coach Jim Rooney added. “Matheus is a great player who always has the right attitude towards the goals he has. He has been an integral part of our offense this season and we will continue to rely on his

goal-scoring abilities as we navigate the second half of the NPSL season.” Ayrolla was born and raised in Fort Lauderdale. In college, he played for Lynn University while receiving an Associate Degree in Mass Communication. Ayrolla then signed with the Fort Lauderdale Strikers U23 NPSL team in 2016 before going to Brazil to play professionally for Friburguense. Ayrolla returned to the United States in 2018 to play with Boca Raton FC. “Since I began working with Matheus I knew he had the potential to be a great player and this recognition is just the start,” Boca Raton FC assistant coach Villy Washington concluded. “Matheus is a hard worker and we will continue to work hard in tapping into the best potential he has.” The winner of this national honor is determined by a vote of media members from across the country. It is awarded every week during the regular season.
