COMMUNITY Spanish River Students Raise Palm Beach County Students Ask Awareness to Endangered Species Questions to Astronaut Aboard ISS

Some Spanish River High School students took the initiative to save endangered species across the world but raising awareness and educating their community on ways they can save these creatures.

The Environmental Concerns Committee of Spanish River High’s Student Government has implemented “Project EndDanger”, a series of enlightening events and activities that inform the students about the threats that endangered species encounter and encourage them to participate in the effort to save these animals from afar.

The week of activities began on Monday, October 30th with Elephant Day, a day dedicated to informing the students about the endangerment of Asian and African elephants. In a Student Government meeting, the committee composed a class simulation of how elephants are disables by the removal of their tusks. To show how the elephants cannot defend themselves or dig for food without their tusks, the students were instructed to perform tasks such as eating or picking up objects with their hands tied behind their backs.

The week continued with Sea Turtle Day to raise awareness and funds for the endangered sea turtles. The committee sold sea turtle charm bracelets at their school and all proceeds were donated to the Sea Turtle World Wildlife Fund. This organization uses the funds to protect the sea turtles from dangers in the

ocean caused by pollution and garbage.

The committee also raised awareness by having a green-out day at school where all the students wore green to show their support for the sea turtles.

The next day was Great Panda Day, a day of raising awareness in a fun way by giving students temporary tattoos of pandas and also planting a bamboo tree in the school’s garden to symbolize the habitat of Pandas. It is a daily reminder that these animals are endangered and their habitat is in need of saving. On Thursday, Chimpanzee Day, the Student Government members played a game of Kahoot, an online competition where participants use their phones to connect to the game and answer a series of trivia questions projected on the board with speed and accuracy. It was a fun way for students to learn about chimps and the ways they can get involved to save them.

On Friday, November 4th, World Animal Day, students showed their support by coming to school dressed as their favorite animal. During lunch, students were challenged to match the endangered animal with their location on a world map. This showed how widespread the issue of endangered animals is around the globe.

This project was an original way to raise awareness and get the students involved in opportunities from their local community to save their favorite wildlife.

From aboard the International Space Station (ISS) to the South Florida Science Museum and Aquarium, connection between an astronaut in space and eleven lucky Palm Beach County students was established on Monday in West Palm Beach.

The eleven students from different PBC elementary schools, were winners of an essay contest where students had to write about a question they would ask an astronaut.

The communication was made possible by ARISS, the Amatuer Radio on International Space Station, which provides students with an exciting interaction with crew members aboard the ISS, in a live talkback.

Students, students’ families, museum attendees, and the press, all patiently glued their eyes to a nearby monitor showing a live global map of ISS’ location. The students only had a 8-minute window to ask their questions to Italian astronaut Paolo Nespoli as the ISS sped at a rate of 17,600 mph within the radius of communication. Students’ questions were planned and approved, and sent to Nespoli weeks prior to ensure each student would be able to ask their question.

Among the group was youngest student Saint Andrew’s School eight-yearold second-grader Chris Andersson who was chosen as the first student to ask his question.

“I was really excited when I heard” said Anderson when first learning of being chosen to speak first two weeks

prior. He is the youngest of the eleven students to speak

According to Anderson he has always been interested in space, his father Leif, also a space enthusiast, supporting his interests. .

“He does science experiments at home, electronics, chemistry, he’s just very exquisite,” said Anderson’s father Leif Anderson. “He wants to know how everything works.” Leif is also a member of the radio club and helped set up ARISS radio communication with his son’s help.

Although only 8-years-old Anderson wants to work in space. “I want to be someone that helps the astronauts, not an astronaut,” he said.

Anderson’s father chimes in, ”He wants to work on the technology to go to space.” Andersson continues jokingly, “He is only in second-grade so he's not ready to leave his family”

“His mom and I are very proud of him.”said Anderson’s father Leif who shares an interest in space with his son.

As for Anderson’s question to Nespoli, he asked what was the most unexpected science experiment discovery for him in space, which Nespoli said was during an experiment in which a flame continued to burn even in low temperatures.

The event coincided with the science center’s new 5,000-square-foot exhibit “Astronauts,” which opened two weeks ago. The exhibit runs until April with a general admission of $16.95 for adults, $12.95 for kids, and it’s free for those under age 3.

Sigma Phi Epsilon kicks of their Annual Queen of Hearts Competition

Boca Raton, FL –Sigma Phi Epsilon Florida Xi fraternity is kicking off its annual philanthropy event to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Palm Beach and Martin Counties. The main event will be on November 8, 2017 at 7p.m. at Florida Atlantic University in the Grand Palm Room.

In 2016, the fraternity raised $17,670.

This year, contestants are competing in a Survivor style competition to win the coveted title of “Queen of Hearts” and raise donations to support youth mentoring. “Queen of Hearts is a very big honor for our chapter,” says Gabriel Gonzalez, Sigma Phi Epsilon President.

Nationally, Sigma Phi Epsilon has selected Big Brothers Big Sisters of America as their single national philanthropic and service-learning partner due to the positive alignment of both agencies principles and values. Sigma Phi Epsilon believes in the American College Fraternity, believe in the Balanced Man and believe that social fraternities are important to a great college experience but

November 10 - November 16, 2017

the social aspects of fraternal life should not exceed the necessity of great academics, service learning, philanthropy and brotherhood for those are essential to the experience.

“Sigma Phi Epsilon’s support over the years has been amazing,” said Richard Levine BBBS Board of Governors Chairman. “I am honored serve as a judge for the Queen of Hearts philanthropy campaign to represent Big Brothers Big Sisters.”

This contribution will help BBBS provide their mentoring programs for at-risk youth in Palm Beach County, providing more children with strong and enduring, professionally supported mentoring relationships that will change their lives for the better, forever. Through these positive, one-on-one mentoring relationships, children learn to see themselves as their mentors see them: as valuable and capable individuals who, despite environmental limitations, can set goals for themselves, and experience social, academic, and personal success in their everyday lives.

Palm Beach State College Students Present at National NSF Conference

Two students in PBSC’s Electrical Power Technology A.S. degree program presented on a national stage this week.

Alexander Burgess and Joseph Morel were among a select group of community college students chosen to attend the National Science Foundation’s Advanced Technological Education Principal Investigator Conference Oct. 23-25 in Washington, D.C., sponsored by the American Association of Community Colleges.

Burgess spoke about the knowledge he and fellow classmates have applied to the design and implementation of solar-powered benches in downtown West Palm Beach. In his presentation, “Solar Benches: Application of Theoretical Knowledge to Real-World Problems,” he described how the benches give residents and visitors a place to rest while recharging their electronic devices. The first bench was a class project, and more were made for PBSC campuses. Now with the support of West Palm Beach’s

www.bocaratontribune.com

Office of Economic Development, these off-grid gathering spots are getting a realworld test drive.

Morel, who also serves as the College’s student trustee, spoke about his experience working in the B.E.S.T. Summer Academy for high school students, which is part of PBSC’s InnovATE project funded by an NSF ATE grant. In his presentation, “Transferring the Knowledge from an A.S. Program to High School Students Through HandsOn Projects,” he described using the knowledge he gained in the EPT program to assist and guide high school students in hands-on STEM activities, such as solar racing cars, 3-D modeling, printing and scanning, and Rube Goldberg machine projects.

Burgess and Morel exemplified the theme of the 24th National ATE Principal Investigators Conference: “Hands-on/Minds-on: Pathways to a Highly Skilled U.S. Workforce.” They both received NSF ATE Award of Excellence certificates for their efforts.

Local Production Company Infusing Life into Community Theater

I carved time out of my hectic schedule recently to support two local children who were performing in a play at Palm Beach State College’s Eissey Campus Theatre in Palm Beach Gardens.

And after leaving the two-hour production, I was convinced that while Broadway may be the pinnacle of great American theatre, Delray Beach is not far behind.

The cast of the gospel stage play, “He is Still More Than Enough”, was no comparison to the talents in New York City. However, this cadre of talented actors and actresses has the potential to be just as relevant as Broadway ever will be.

In most communities, the community theater is part of the social makeup, and may be the only local live, performing arts possibility that exists in small venues.

Community theater is usually affordable although other entertainment exists.

For many students and even some of the adults, the local production was their first introduction to theater unless they performed in church or in their schools.

There was a time when one could

always count on the now defunct Caldwell Theatre in Boca Raton and the Delray Playhouse to provide a good dosage of local laughter or even hone their theatrical skills.

Somehow, community productions have waned over time.

In recent years, there has been a resurgence of plays written by local residents and featuring local talent.

Thanks to Delray Beach residents Mark and Sylvia Woods, community productions still have relevance and are playing a huge role in our local people’s lives.

The Woods created ChiChiMa Productions and have been using their gifts, talents and their 30-year marriage as a backdrop to minister to the hearts of people for many years.

Their most recent production, He is Still More Than Enough!, depicts the story of an unemployed, recently widowed mother of three whose mother, Mrs. Moore, (Rhonda Miller) was diagnosed with a possible illness. To further compound her dilemma, Patrice, played by Theresa L. McCray, has to contend with a mean, inconsiderate and relentless land lady, Ms. Dion,

played by Toccoa Lenair.

Patrice’s only solace to her crisis God is More Than Enough!

The quality of the performance was equal to or greater than anything one would get at the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County or even Broward Performing Arts Center. The staging was excellent, the costumes fantastic, and the singing was outstanding.

Sylvia Woods is a published author, poet and playwright.

Mark Woods is an accomplished musician, vocalist, and songwriter, who has performed with several renowned artists including Grammy Award-winning gospel singer Darius Brooks and the late Gospel legend Albertina Walker.

As I watched the production from the last row in the theatre, I saw natural talent and hope.

As a reporter who has covered several plays and performances over my more than three decades in this community, it was not until then that I had a true appre-

ciation for the value of community theatre.

I was reminded that many successful actors, directors, writers, and choreographers have launched their careers in humble, small town productions and playhouses.

Some members of the cast were making their debut appearance and I could just imagine the joy in their hearts as they performed in front of their loved ones and friends. This was also great outlet for the many who always thought - and even knew - they had it but because they never got a chance to leave the area, their dreams never materialized before now.

Thanks to the Woods, the value of community theater remains. It entertains. It educates. And it creates community.

I was also impressed to see the many residents, or rather church goers, who were gathered in one place and in one accord. I cannot recall another time, where so many were in one place – certainly not on a Sunday morning.

While not surprised, I was very proud to see the caliber of talent that we have in our community.

POSITIVE LIVING

By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Seek Positive and Productive Conversations!

As my years advance, I increasingly observe that many members of society have no clue regarding what a conversation is all about. Many think that just talking aloud to whomever may be around constitutes a conversation, no matter how loudly they may speak, how poorly they may pronounce their words, and regardless of what surrounding noises may prevail at the time.

Whoever wishes to engage one or more persons into a conversation, needs first to call the attention of one or more individuals they desire to address. The timing must be right, the location must be adequate, the level of

noises around must be minimal, and the possibility of frequent interruptions should be non-existent, for as long as the exchange is to occur!

Regardless of the subject matter one is to engage in, it should not be intimidating. On the contrary, it must be positive even if some unpleasantness may be part of the conversation. The initiator is responsible for finding the best time, the adequate location, and the best approach for such engagement!

Many such encounters become disastrous even before they actually start. The one or more participants must be asked (not demanded) if they

can be present; none of them should be intimidated, offended, or put down. No sane person will ever consent to engage in conversations intended to humiliate or be taken undue advantage of!

Conversations whose subject is one complaint after another, both of the one engaged in it, or about somebody else not present, can accomplish nothing other than one’s determination never again to consent to similar gatherings which, from the beginning, are pathetically unproductive!

Sadly, there are several individuals who by nature are unforgiving of others, and desire to seek revenge

through intimidation and by adding more fuel to the fire of contention.

Regardless of how many times they act in this fashion, they fail to comprehend the utter futility of that approach, and the need to seek a positive posture and proactive, sound outlook. Short of that, stemming from a sincere heart, nothing will ever be achieved.

People should not engage in conversations which, from the outset, manifest a corroded attitude that can only lead into an inevitably failing outcome!

Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr. is a Florida resident who, for many years, was a professor at the post-graduate level. He is a writer, a sought-after conference speaker, a man who lived in five continents of the world, having received his education in four of them. When he resided in southern California, he wrote a weekly column for the daily “Anaheim Bulletin,” which was carried for about six years, until he moved to south Florida.

As the holiday season grows closer, it is just about time to be thinking about the 11th annual Boca Raton Toy Drive, which will be happening on Sunday, Dec. 3 at Sugar Sand Park.

The event, which was first put together by Douglas Heizer and David Wilson, will have numerous free activities, food, drinks and visits with Santa Claus.

The most famous activity of the annual toy drive is a ride on the carousel, which Boca Raton’s Rotary Clubs helped construct. In appreciation of their assistance, Sugar Sand Park allows them to use the carousel once a year, so they decided to use it as an extra incentive to get people out for the toy drive, while providing some family fun entertainment.

All six Boca Raton Rotary Clubs work together to put on the event in order to gather toy donations, which go to Boca Helping Hands and the Wayne Barton Study Center. Since the toy drive’s inception, over $50,000 in toys and donations have been raised for children in Boca Raton.

The entire event is put together through volunteer work, so more volunteers are always welcome at any time before, during and after the toy drive.

Some of the various volunteer opportunities include tasks such as set-up, graphic design, toy pick-up, organization and break-down.

The launch party to kick off the season will be taking place at the Clive Daniel Home on Nov. 14 from 4 - 6 p.m.

After the party, drop-off locations will be spread out across the city, increasing the opportunities for residents to show their holiday spirit by donating toys.

The toy drive partners with local businesses who show their support by becoming one of the drop-off spots.

Businesses who are interested in participating can go to bocaratontoydrive.com to request a box. They can also become sponsors of the toy drive as well.

That’s not the only way businesses can get involved. Companies hosting holiday parties can ask their employees and guests to donate a toy when they attend. After the party, the toys can either be brought to the 11th annual toy drive or they can be picked up right at the office.

The toy drive event at Sugar Sand Park on December 3, and will last from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m., with the free barbeque lunch for those who donate money or a toy.

Miami City Self Storage was recognized with an “Eagle Award,” the highest honor from the ABC. Other Kaufman locations honored were Paraiso at Fountain Square in Miami, and the Pompano Beach Pier Parking Garage. Both were “Pyramid Award” recipients.

“Once, again, we’re incredibly humbled to receive these awards from our industry peers at Associated Builder and Contractors,” said Michael Kaufman, president and CEO of Kaufman Lynn

Construction. “These three very different projects all required substantial planning and creativity to complete. Each is a unique design accomplishment in its own right and stands as a testament to the excellence and commitment of the Kaufman Lynn Construction team and our design and construction partners.”

Located in downtown Miami, the Eagle Award winning Miami City Self Storage is a 111,068-square-foot storage facility. The building’s exterior features custom design elements to spruce up the typical dry nature of storage facilities.

The high-rise steel structure serves as a new prototype for urban infill sites.

Paraiso at Fountain Square, a “Pyramid Award” winner, is a five-story apartment building in Miami. The $27.5 million, 175-unit Paraiso boasts four residential wings configured around a courtyard with a pool and other amenities.

Lastly, Pompano Beach Pier Parking Garage also took home a Pyramid Award. The massive mixed-use structure is the first public parking garage in Pompano Beach. It represents the City’s investment in the development of the beach area. Defining features were included in the garage’s design to help the building stand out, revitalizing the area.

The Excellence in Construction awards program honors the most innovative and high-quality projects. Winning projects are selected from all along Florida’s east coast. The award commends builders, architects, engineers, and any other workers involved in construction.

COLUMNISTS ROBERT’S COMMUNITY REPORT

FAITH

By Robert J. Tamasy

By Robert Weinroth • The week began with BocaLead. Each month over 300 of your neighbors enjoy a casual lunch and take away a few principles of ethical business relationships to help our professional life grow. Pastor Bill Mitchell, a businessman for 25 years, teaches what it takes to be a great leader. If you have never been to one of these lunches, consider making your reservation, NOW, for the next lunch, which will be held on December 7th at Noon. To view a sample of these thought provoking sessions, go to: www.bocacommunity.org/media/ becoming-a-lifelong-learner/ • That evening the Festival of the Arts held a sponsors reception at the Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club to unveil their lineup for the spring. It’s going to be another great opportunity for our residents to see an eclectic selection of offerings from a February 23rd - March 4th 2018. Yitzhak Perlman, Bill Murray, Kathleen Battle and many more. Go to: www.FestivalOfTheArtsBoca.org to see what’s planned and to secure your seats.

• The City of Boca Raton, FL Government hosted its Annual Arbor Day Tree Planting event at the Greater Boca Raton Beach and Park District’s Patch Reef Park/JARCC on November 3rd. Students from Grandview Preparatory School helped to plant 15 slash pines on the grounds of the Park.

The species of trees planted each year are chosen based upon what is found at the park naturally, how much space is available for the mature canopy, and the end result of how we envision the park in the future.

Boca Raton was selected as a Tree City in 2016 for the 37th consecutive year, and Mayor Haynie accepted the Tree City USA award from Scott Peterich, representing the Everglades District for the Florida Forest Service on behalf of the Forest Service and the National Arbor Day Association. In order to qualify for a Tree City designation, the City must have a tree board or department, a tree care ordinance, a community forestry program with a minimum annual budget, and have an annual Arbor Day observance and proclamation.

• Making a difference for families - providing a hand up (not a handout). Habitat for Humanity South Palm Beach County undertook it’s first annual CEO Build on November 3rd and 4th - answering one family’s dream of living in a new home that they, along with many volunteers, constructed.

Habitat for Humanity of South Palm Beach County invited Palm Beach County C-Suite and senior executives to climb a “corporate ladder of a different kind” during its 2017 CEO Build. Rather than building companies, business leaders, owners and entrepreneurs joined together to build a new Habitat home, creating tremendous impact on the community and breaking the poverty cycle for a hard-working family.

• It’s past time for the community to take notice and get on board the “Lane Train.” In what essentially served as C-USA’s East Divi-

November 10 - November 16, 2017

sion championship game, Devin Singletary and the FAU Owls clinched bowl eligibility with a 30-25 win over the Marshall Thundering Herd football Friday night at FAU Stadium. The victory was the first for the Owls after losing their first four meetings against the Thundering Herd. It would be great to see the stadium filled when the Owls host FIU on Saturday November 18th. The game is scheduled to start at 7PM. • Speaking of FAU, the Caring Hearts Auxiliary of the Louis and Anne Green Memory and Wellness Center within the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing hosted the 12th annual “Keep Memories Alive — Walking with the Stars Affair” at the Town Center at Boca Raton on Sunday. Funds raised from the walk support the Center’s state-of-the art, evidence-based programs and services vital to patients and families living with memory disorders.

• The Levis JCC and the Boca Raton Jewish Film Festival are proud to present year-round events such as the highly-acclaimed film ‘Jungle,’ starring Daniel Radcliffe, the English actor best known for his role as Harry Potter. ‘Jungle’ is based on the true story and life of Israeli explorer Yossi Ghinsberg.

An exclusive Palm Beach County preview and special speaking engagement by Yossi Ghinsberg will be held on Monday, November 20 at 7PM on the Federation campus in Zinman Hall.

• On Tuesday, the Museum of Art invited its benefactors and the general public to view the new season’s offerings.

• On Wednesday the City of Boca Raton recognized a group of our residents and Lynn University as the Boca Raton Museum & Historical Society held its 21st Annual Walk of Recognition at The Addison. The celebration recognized individuals who have served in the interest of the community and have enriched the lives of the citizens of Boca Raton. Event Chairs were Marta Batmasian and WVOY winner, Joyce DeVita. The 2017 Inductees were Lynn University – Institution; Morgan Pressel Bush; Dr. Joseph (Jody) Forstot; and James A. Rutherford – Wall of Honor

Indispensable, Like A Cellphone?

How did we ever survive without cellphones? Have you wondered about that recently? Decades ago, before cellphones became commonplace, it was not a concern. If we had an urgent need to place a call, we would seek out a payphone somewhere – in a store, or even along a roadside. If someone needed to reach us while we were traveling in a car, or somewhere without phone service, they were just out of luck.

Today, however, leaving home or work without a cellphone sometimes seems as if we forgot to put on an essential item of clothing. We almost feel naked. I have a friend who in the 1980s became a highly successful sales executive for what was then known as Cellular One. In those days users practically needed to be bodybuilders to heft the briefcasesized communications devices, but he sold them just the same. Now they easily fit into a pocket or purse.

Cellphones, thanks to great advances in technology, have become indispensable for our lives. A successful business or professional person without a cellphone is like a motor vehicle without tires. It does not work very well – and neither do they. But in reality, seeking to integrate our faith into the workplace without having the Bible readily available as a resource is not recommended either.

Some time ago someone gave me a copy of a brief article by that wellknown source, “Anonymous,” that asks, “What would happen if we treated our Bible as we treat our cellphones?” Consider: – What if we carried our Bible around in our purse or pockets?

– What if we flipped through it several times a day?

– What if we turned back to get it if we forgot it at work, or at home?

– What if we used it to receive messages from the text?

– What if we treated it as if we could not live without it?

– What if we gave it to family members as gifts?

– What if we relied on it whenever we traveled?

– What if we used in case of emergency?

The Bible is not a religious book; it is a manual for everyday life and work.

God has given it to guide us through opportunities, decisions and challenges of every day. Here are some examples of its value:

A source of wisdom. Among the Bible’s many values needed for success and leadership skill, none is more important than wisdom: “for attaining wisdom and discipline, for understanding words and insight; for acquiring a disciplined and prudent life, doing what is right and just and fair” (Proverbs 1:2-3).

A source of guidance. Asking what to do, how to do it, and why, the Bible gives answers: “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man (and woman) of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

A source for success. We all seek a clear path to success. The Bible promises to provide that: “Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful” (Joshua 1:8).

SPORTS FAU Football Wins Fifth Straight, Former Palm Beach State College Pitcher Helps Houston Astros Win Now Bowl Eligible By: Michael Demyan 2017 World Series

The Florida Atlantic University Owls extended their winning streak to five with their first ever win against Marshall Friday night.

The 30-25 win narrowly gave them their sixth of the season, making them bowl eligible for the first time since 2008. They are also still on top of the Conference USA standings with an undefeated 5-0 record against fellow C-USA teams.

The win did not come without a late scare for the Owls however, as a miscalculation of the clock resulted in FAU having to take a safety in the final seconds.

“We were off on our chart upstairs by like 12 or 14 seconds,” head coach Lane Kiffin said. “From upstairs we were being told, ‘Okay, three knees and it’s over.’ I kept saying, ‘Guys, I ain’t real good at math, but that ain’t looking like it’s going to be over.”

The safety resulted in Marshall pulling to within five points of the lead.

FAU punted the ball, which was ultimately the final play of the game as Marshall’s lateral-filled running finally ended on a forward pass after the clock expired.

“It ended up being seven seconds off or eight seconds off after what happened, so that last kickoff was scary,” Kiffin said. “Luckily, we grabbed James Pierre and said ‘Hey, you just stay back here.’ All I could picture was the Tennessee Titans throwback on a last play like that.”

The Owls did hold the lead for

most of the game as they got on the board during their first drive. Quarterback Jason Driskel ran the ball two yards into the endzone on their 16th play.

Marshall’s first possession was cut short by Jalen Young’s first of three interceptions, which tied the program record, leading to a 19-yard run by Willie Wright to bring the score to 13-0. Kicker Greg Joseph missed the extra point.

With just over seven minutes left in the second quarter, Marshall got on the board with a Kaare Vedvik field goal, but FAU bounced back with one of their own to bring it back to a 13-point lead.

Marshall started out strong in the second half with a 59-yard pass on their fifth play of the drive. Quarterback Chase Litton followed up with a five-yard pass to Ryan Yurachek for the touchdown.

They continued their push with another touchdown with 7:27 remaining in the third, but a missed extra point kept the game tied at 16.

Back-to-back touchdowns from FAU’s Devin Singletary gave the Owls (6-3, 5-0 C-USA) a comfortable 30-16 lead as the rain started to fall in the fourth and they barely held on for a close 30-25 victory over the Thundering Herd (6-3, 3-2 C-USA).

“It’s just the mentality that we always have to hit him in the head first, attack first, because they’re a good team too and we knew it was going to be a fight the whole game,” FAU’s Shelton Lewis said.

The Owls will look to continue their streak when they play Louisiana Tech on the road Saturday, Nov. 11 at 3:30 p.m.

Brad Peacock was a high school third baseman when Palm Beach State College recruited him in 2006 to play for the Panthers. There was one change.

Instead of third base, former PBSC baseball coach Alex Morales signed him to be a pitcher.

That turned out to be the best move for Peacock, now a Houston Astros pitcher who helped lead the team to its first World Series Championship Wednesday.

“He’s an athletic kid with a really good arm,’’ said Morales, who was head coach from 2006-2010 and is now a scouter for the Washington Nationals. “I didn’t feel his hitting would be professional caliber. I thought a move to pitching would benefit him the most, and he agreed. That’s just my scouting background.”

While Peacock had pitched some innings for Palm Beach Central high school, he continued to hone his skills through his work with PBSC baseball coach Kyle Forbes, who was then pitching coach.

“It was a pleasure working with him every day, and his work ethic was awesome,’’ said Forbes.

Peacock played for PBSC during the 2006-2007 season and helped take the Panthers to the state tournament before he signed with the Washington Nationals.

He was then traded to the Oakland A’s.

About three years ago, he was traded to Houston.

Forbes said he is proud of Peacock’s success since leaving PBSC. “This is the most success a Panther has had in the World Series. That’s what makes it special. It rarely happens. Every player on my team dreams of playing in the World Series,’’ said Forbes. “Here is an alumnus who has done it. It gives our guys hope.”

“He’s a great success. Pitching in the seventh game of the World Series, he’s done very well,” Morales said.

PBSC, which has had a strong baseball program throughout its history, has had other players play in the World Series, including in most recent years, Tony Cruz and Kevin Siegrist, who both went to the World Series with the St. Louis Cardinals.

“Historically, Palm Beach State has had a good program,’’ Forbes said.

Boca Raton Inks Luke Ferreira for upcoming Season

Boca Raton Football Club is pleased to announce the signing of Luke Ferreira for the upcoming 2017-18 season.

"We are proud to have a player in the level of Luke join our club and believe in what we are doing here in Boca Raton," said Boca Raton FC president, Douglas Heizer. "Already in the fall season Luke has been playing very well and we are excited to continue to see his play on the pitch."

In seven games in the APSL Fall Tournament, Ferreira is already making his presence felt as the second leading scorer with nine goals this season and trailing the first place by only three goals.

"I'm very excited to keep up a great run with Boca Raton FC," said Ferreira. "We have a great group of players who all have one goal in mind and we will do what we can to accomplish that goal."

Ferreira spent time with the

Fluminense U16 before going to Portugal to play for Sertanense FC of the third division.

The 6-foot forward played at Eastern Florida State during the 2015 season where he recorded 14 assists as a freshman with the Titans and EFSC finished third in the NJCAA national tournament. As a high schooler, Ferreira helped lead American Heritage School to the 2A state championship.

In 2016 Ferreira played for Stetson University, where in his lone season earned second-team All-ASUN honors.

Ferreira also led Stetson in goals (4), assists (4) and points (12) in his only season with the Hatters.

"It's good coming out to play for a hometown team that has the ambition and potential to grow," added Ferreira.

"I'm excited to see how the rest of the season goes and looking to grab another title for the club."
