Israel Tennis Centers Visits Boca Raton

2017 marks the beginning of the next exciting chapter in the extraordinary impact of the Israel Tennis Centers, the largest social service agency for children in Israel. Last year the organization celebrated its 40th anniversary of empowering Israel’s children… beyond tennis… since the ITC’s first center opened in Ramat Hasharon in 1976.

“We are extremely proud of what the Israel Tennis Centers has achieved over these last 4 decades,” said ITC Founder Bill Lippy. “The ‘Miracle in the Desert’ is what we call the Israel Tennis Centers, transforming the lives of over 20,000 underserved Israeli children every year, over 500,000 since 1976. 40 years of witnessing the growth of the ITC from one single center to 14 today is an incredible testimony to what can be done when people come together to help those less fortunate reach their full potential.”

Community Boca Fine Art Show Attracts Artists from Around the Country By: Michael Demyan

The eighth annual Boca Fine Art Show was held over the weekend on January 28 and 29 in Boca Raton, which featured handmade art from numerous artists.

The Hot Works sponsored event, which was voted as one of the best art fairs in the country, was held in Sanborn Square Park and on Federal Highway at Palmetto Park Road. The weather on Saturday allowed for large crowds and even though it rained on Sunday, people still came out to buy some of the featured art.

There were 150 artists in attendance to sell their creations, featuring work such as photography, paintings, sculptures and jewelry.

Robin Markowitz, the executive director for the Bethesda Row Arts Festival in Maryland, judged the participants and awarded Professional Artist Awards to 17 people, who traveled from 11 different states. Each artist was judged on technique, originality, booth appearance and execution.

The awards were given to the winners on Saturday by a five member

“Prize Patrol” team, which included Markowitz and Boca Raton Mayor Susan Haynie. Other members of the team were Robert Weinroth, Scott Singer and Patty Narozny, the executive producer of the event.

The top two best in show recipients were Robert Alan Hyde of Washington, Mass. and Reza Pishgahi of Bloomington, Ind. They were awarded a $500 prize and a ribbon to display for the rest of the weekend.

Five other artists were awarded $100 and an Award of Excellence, while 10 others were given an Award of Distinction.

Professional artists were not the only ones receiving awards during the art show. Students from 11 different schools participated in the Budding Artist Competition sponsored by Institute for the Arts and Education. The contest was open to children in grades 6-12 and awarded nine prizes worth a total of $390.

Even though it is still a year away, the Boca Fine Art Show has announced the dates for their ninth annual event, which will be held on January 27 and 28, 2018.

Local Teens Perform in Presidential Inauguration

By: Nikki Colonna

This past week, Palm Beach County natives took part in the Presidential Inauguration as they sang with their choir in front of millions in the ‘Make America Great Again Concert’ event. As members of The King’s Academy Honor Choir, the students experienced an opportunity to show off and honor our new president.

At the Lincoln Memorial, the 65 singers, accompanied by 15 dancers, took the stage the day during the 58th Presidential Inauguration Ceremony to perform the song, ‘Let There Be Peace On Earth. The song was regarded as being very appropriate for the event. This song provoked emotion and inspiration to the audience through the students’ voices and the song’s message.

This occasion of a lifetime was described as “unforgettable” by senior Brianne Dunn from King’s Academy choir. She expressed how the whole event was such a “humbling experience” that as a school they “put in so much hard work and dedication into [their rehearsals] in order to perfect the performance”.

She will be “forever grateful for such an opportunity”.

The choir worked together as a unit to make sure their performance was TV ready. The process of selection kept King’s Academy on their toes. They had very short notice before finding out that they were picked to perform as the ‘Voices of America’ but the last minute opportunity did not stop them from doing everything in their power to make their act flawless.

Backstage before the show, senior Stephanie Barrett had been calm and collected, but after seeing the huge audience and realizing the feature was televised, nerves set in.

She was able to focus and remind herself of all the extra “practices after school they held to fix any last minute mistakes and perfect the song”, and

www.bocaratontribune.com

she was able to focus and relax. The King’s Academy was successful in welcoming and entertaining our new President.

The choir’s success would not have been possible without the guidance and direction of King’s Academy’s Artistic Director, Mr. Snyder. His ability to teach and mentor his talented students to this level was beyond admirable. Putting extra time and dedication into his program has really been beneficial for his school and the students, as shown by their reputation and nomination for selection for such an event.

Mr. Snyder and the King’s Academy’s students’ hard paid off as the collaborated efforts transformed into the end result of a very well done, well represented performance. He believes that “performing on a national platform has given The King’s Academy the opportunity to showcase the quality of student that we have at the school” as well as “allowed the Conservatory of Arts to reach a higher level of success”. The exposure set their standards high but they hope to see more opportunities and set new goals for themselves and the program.

Black History Month: a time to Recognize, also to Educate

While scouring garage sales, thrift shops and antique stores recently for artifacts to create a traveling museum for Black History Month, someone asked me, “Why do you people have to celebrate your own month?”

I politely quipped, “That’s a good question. In fact, Why can’t we just celebrate white history every month of the year?”

But then I quickly remembered that for the other 11 months of the year, the focus is on white history in our high-school history classes. So as not to sound like an imbecile, I elevated the conversation and used the opportunity to educate my soon-to be new friend about the contributions and achievements of a people who were overlooked or discounted in our past while they helped build this country into what it is today.

“Did you know that the man who invented the very first three-light traffic signal in 1923 was Garrett Morgan, a black man?” I asked him. And like a machine gun, I hit him with a barrage of questions: “Did you know that a black businessman, Alfred L. Cralle, patented the first ice cream scoop? And believe it or not, that ice cream scoop

has not changed at all since 1897.”

Before I could finish my third question, “were you aware that it was a black engineer (Alexander Miles) who invented several critical safety features of the elevator?” he interrupted: “And if that was so, so what?”

I responded with, “Because that is a big deal. If you had designed something as simple as the dustpan and broom, would you like to receive credit for your invention?”

I could see the cogs turning in his head. Then he nodded and asked, “Who are you? You are either a doctor or a professor.”

“I am neither,” I responded. “I am just a community servant who want to ensure that all children get an appreciation early about the contributions made by blacks since they do not learn it in schools.”

I told him that it was a 28-day period when we highlight some of the often-forgotten accomplishments of blacks throughout history.

He wanted to know more about how the observance began so I told him how in 1926, historian Carter G. Woodson had the idea that if Americans knew the contributions that black

people made to this country and to the world, white Americans would stop thinking that we were inferior. He also thought that black Americans would then take their rightful place, in human history, as geniuses, explorers, inventors, leaders and the like, I added.

I told him that if we do not remind our youth and some adults about their history we could find ourselves like Texas with pieces of our history being omitted from the history books.

The new curriculum instituted in 2015 makes no mention of the Ku Klux Klan a white supremacist organization that has used terror tactics against blacks, and Jim Crow laws that instituted racial segregation following the abolition of slavery in the American South.

My new friend got a lesson in black history that morning and since then, we have seen each other twice including a lunch meeting. He apologetically admitted his ignorance and has since been viewing black people through a different set of lens.

Like my friend, there are many who are ignorant to the facts. It is therefore our duty to educate them about the proud achievements, just as

any other race of people do around here.

That is why the travelling museum on Estella’s Brilliant Bus will be visiting schools in the county to share a slice of history with students.

As I poured through newspaper archives and history books, I gleaned so much information about the contribution that blacks made in the early days of Boca Raton and Delray Beach.

Today, Delray Beach, unlike Boca Raton, remains very much a melting pot of a place, with a diverse population that is visible across every area of life, from our city government to our city schools and in the private sector businesses that support the local economy.

Black History Month is a time for us to celebrate contributions people have made in many cases under adverse conditions. It is inspiring. It gives perspective. It is educational.

POSITIVE LIVING

By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Eliminate the Unnecessary!

Most people, while in motion, repeatedly are confronted with forks on the road, and need to know with certainty how, and whereto, they must proceed. Normally that experience comes long before one reaches the end of the line, namely, the destination toward which they’re moving!

Similarly, a person needs to live unencumbered from whatever could be an impediment in completing a task, in reaching a destination, in being faithfully prompt for the delivery of what relates to a promise made to one or

more who depend on its fulfillment!

These considerations are indispensable for the proper, effective execution, and legitimate delivery of any finalized task, whether great or small; they should occupy a significant place in the planning stages and the production schedule of any assignment!

Nevertheless, as management consultant and author, Brian Tracy, advises, “Just as you need a to-do list to guide you through a busy day, you need a not-to-do list to keep you on track.”

In other words, learn what

tools to utilize in each procedure, but also be wise in the elimination of whatever may constitute excess, or unnecessary baggage. The urgency we often encounter in the need to conclude significant activities, cannot be obstructed by any extra weight which is not part of our necessary equipment for quality production!

Take a single-minded view of your primary duties, assigning other accomplishments to a secondary, even tertiary levels. Concentrate on what’s major so as to devote your undivided

attention to the work, and complete with distinction what’s at the top of your priority list!

To quote author Brian Tracy again, “Remember, there are always a hundred little things that you can do that will make very little difference to your success or to your contributions.”

Thus, eliminate the unnecessary and concentrate on prompt delivery of what’s expected of you, without creating waste on account of undue haste!

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.

What Does It Take To Be Truly Rich?

A while back, my wife and I visited a restaurant and later filled out a survey about our experience there. In completing the questionnaire, we were automatically entered in a contest with a monetary reward. To our surprise, we were notified we had won and weeks later received a check in the mail. It was not for a huge amount, but we put the unanticipated money to good use.

This prompted me to wonder what it would take to truly feel rich. What if you won a huge prize in the lottery? Or if you discovered you were an heir to a wealthy relative, and that person had left you a large inheritance? Or if someone unexpectedly showed up at your door and announced you had won a major sweepstakes? Would any of those make you feel rich?

Many people believe that if somehow they were to come into a huge amount of money, they would become truly rich and all their problems would suddenly be resolved. But would they?

We can all recall news accounts about famous, extremely wealthy people who have experienced great difficulties in life despite their riches. Some of the wealthiest nations in the world are beset by great societal problems, despite their affluence.

It seems that money is not necessarily the cure-all for serious struggles.

Someone has said if given a choice between having money or not having money, they would definitely opt for having money. I think we all would agree. But is money, property, or a hefty investment portfolio the source of true riches – or is it something else? And how can we succeed in acquiring these riches?

The Bible offers some observations:

Material wealth – as well as the lack of it – can be stumbling blocks. In terms of money and material possessions, we may struggle with not having what we need. But having too much can also create problems: “…give me neither poverty nor riches,but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God” (Proverbs 30:8-9).

In the pursuit of tangible wealth, there never is “enough.”There is something about wealth that fails to convince us that we have enough of it – even the richest people will tell you there is always room for “just a little bit more.” “Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This too is meaningless” (Ecclesiastes 5:10). “The leech as two daughters. ‘Give! Give!’ they cry” (Proverbs 30:15).

Knowing and acting upon the truth is a path to true wealth. Embracing the truth God provides in the Scriptures can enrich more than anything the physical world can offer. “I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches” (Psalm 119:14).

Our use of material resources can be a test. Perhaps our attitude toward wealth and how we use what we have can serve as a strong indicator of our character, as well as our reliability as stewards of what has been entrusted to our care.

“So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?” (Luke 16:11).

For The Love Of Dog

Photos by Charlotte Beasley

Saturday evening my travels took me to Fries to Caviar restaurant on Federal Hwy where I was joined by the fabulous Christine Lynn for dinner. After dinner as we were exiting the restaurant, a young lady ran up to me to ask if indeed it was Christine Lynn as she was a breast cancer survivor and wanted to thank Christine for the Lynn Cancer Institute where she was receiving her treatment. When Christine came over to us with her car, the young lady could not stop thanking her for all she has done to help cancer survivor’s. I could not have felt more honored and proud to be in such great company.

After dinner we headed over to the Wick Theater for the show, “West Side Story”. The show was amazing and did Marilyn Wick justice in bringing Broadway to Boca. Marilyn joined us after the show for the Caberet experience, where young cast members entertain the audience. All in all what a fun entertaining evening. Thank you Christine and Marilyn for an awesome evening.

What is “A Dog’s Purpose?”

The short answer is unconditional love. Swedish director Lasse Hallstrom used W. Bruce Cameron’s screenplay of his 2010 novel to mount a tribute to canines and their human friends.

There is not just one dog in the story. It starts with a Red Retriever who escapes from a dog pound, and is rescued by a woman named Hannah (Britt Robertson). Hannah has a brother named Ethan (Bryce Gheisar) who becomes very attached to the dog he names Bailey.

Dogs don’t live as long as humans. In time Bailey segues into different times and breeds as Buddy, Tino and Ellie. Josh Gad provides the various dog

voices. The one constant is Ethan, who grows up to be Dennis Quaid. Hannah becomes Peggy Lipton, in a welcome return to the silver screen.

“A Dog’s Purpose” is aimed squarely at dog lovers. Ironically the movie has been protested by PETA because of a scene in which one of the dogs, a German Shepherd, jumps into a raging river.

My father hated dogs; therefore we never had one of our own. It was not until I was married with children that a dog came into my life. I consider myself better for the experience.

“A Dog’s Purpose” is sentimental, corny and clichéd, but it is filled with love. A dog’s purpose is to “Be Here Now.” That is good advice to humans of any age.

Food Insecurity

What is food insecurity and how can this possibly be something impacting one in four children living in our community?

Leave it to the federal government to take a simple idea (children going to bed hungry) and turning it into something to be studied, analyzed and measured.

Before defining food insecurity, perhaps it would be prudent to look at the condition we are seeking to reach, food security.

Food security for a household means access by all members at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life.

Food security includes at a minimum:

• Ready availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods; and

• The ability to acquire acceptable foods in socially acceptable ways (in other words, without resorting to emergency food supplies, scavenging, stealing, or other coping strategies).

The opposite of food security is food insecurity.

So, that brings me back to the second part of my original question - how can this possibly be something impacting one in four children living in our community?

We live in a community that is remarkably affluent. Many of our residents enjoy very comfortable lives and the thought of being food insecure is the furthest thing from their minds. However, there are many living among us who as a result of a reversal of fortune (loss of a job, an illness or injury or otherwise) now find themselves extremely vulnerable and living very close to the edge with savings depleted, bills accumulating and one crisis away from finding themselves unable to afford the cost of housing and nutrition. Many of these at risk individuals are working poor, struggling to stay above water.

Rather than turning a blind eye to the plight of many of our neighbors, it is gratifying to see the homegrown agencies working to provide a lifeline for those in need.

Those agencies are, for the most

Loggerhead Marinelife Center Adds Speed Reduction Zones to Minimize Sea Turtle Injury

By: Nikki Colonna

Speed reduction zones are being inserted by the Loggerhead Marinelife Center (LMC) to prevent injuries to sea turtles in the area. The Center's initiative is intended for the safety of threatened and endangered marine turtles and the preservation of their habitat to obtain research and perform studies.

The east coast of Florida trailing to North Palm Beach waters is commonly recognized as the "most denselypopulated [region] with sea turtles nests" in the country. These nesting areas are so shallow that motors, engines and deep bottomed boats easily destroy nests and injure endangered sea turtles, especially when boats increase their speeds above the designated limits.

By creating these speed reduction zones, safety is increased for turtles and humans. A simple tool such as a sign has a huge effect on the lives of these sea

turtles.

In order to implement such zones, the LMC is linking up with the Archie Carr Center for Sea Turtle Research (ACCSTR) combining their strengths and love for the sea turtles to create these Voluntary Speed Reduction Zones in an effort to maintain their homes and protect their reproduction sites.

Over a three year time period, the process of applying these efforts to enforce new zones to protect rights of endangered sea turtles has greatly evolved. LMC's chief conservation officer, Tommy Cutt, has done everything in his power to safeguard wildlife that are desperately in need.

Cutt's solution involves the suggestion of "a voluntary speed reduction in this vital sea turtle habitat [that] will help increase awareness of sea turtle conservation and could potentially lead to a significant decrease in motorboat and sea turtle interactions."

With such an organization, the potential is limitless and the impact has the capacity to be very substantial. The Loggerhead Marinelife Center hopes that their determined attempts will pay off and they see significantly fewer injuries to these endangered sea turtles.

sports Sailfish Hand Fighting Knights Their Third Straight Loss

By: Michael Demyan

The Lynn University Fighting Knights went into the second half of Wednesday’s game on the road with an eight-point lead, but their season-high 24 turnovers led to a 62-60 loss against the Palm Beach Atlantic Sailfish.

Things were not looking good for the Fighting Knights as the Sailfish started the game with a quick run which put them up 7-0. The Fighting Knights answered right back though with a run of their own, giving them an 11-7 lead.

The score continued to stay close until the final seven minutes of the half as their lead grew to 27-19.

The Fighting Knights kept the Sailfish out of reach through the first couple minutes of the second half, but consecutive three-point shots from Bakari Warthen and Lucas Morales brought them up to within four points. A threepointer from Shavanno Cooper put the Sailfish back on top 36-35.

For the rest of the game, neither team held a lead of more than five points as both sides continued to fight for the Sunshine State Conference victory. Every time it looked like one of them was building momentum, the other would catch right back up.

With 2:40 left in the game,

the Fighting Knight’s Marquan Botley made a three-pointer to extend their lead to four, but in just over a minute, the Sailfish were able to tie the game at 60 thanks to a layup from Dakota Zinser.

A foul by the Fighting Knight’s Terrell Rogers with 1:23 left sent Michael Stones to the free throw line, who connected for one of his two shots to give the Sailfish the lead again. With the clock winding down, Rogers was forced to commit another foul, which sent Lucas Morales to the line. He shot 1-of-2 as well, but that was all the Sailfish needed as they held on for a 62-60 win, tying them with the Fighting Knights in the SSC standings.

For the Fighting Knights, it was their third straight loss following a stretch when they won eight of nine games.

Their struggles against the Sailfish continued as the loss meant they were swept by them for the second year in a row. Their 24 turnovers were the most in a game since they committed 25 last January, which was also against the Sailfish.

Vieux Kande had a good game however as his 10 points and 10 rebounds gave him his fifth double-double of the season. Kevin O’Brien led the team with 12 points, followed by Botley with 11.

Multiple players also had some career highs in the game. Freshman Kenneth Nwachukwu blocked four shots in his first start and Juwan Frazier had six assists.

For the Sailfish, Warthen led the team with 24 points on 10-of-14 shooting and Malek Barber recorded eight rebounds.

Israel Tennis Centers Visits Boca Raton

2017 marks the beginning of the next exciting chapter in the extraordinary impact of the Israel Tennis Centers, the largest social service agency for children in Israel. Last year the organization celebrated its 40th anniversary of empowering Israel’s children… beyond tennis… since the ITC’s first center opened in Ramat Hasharon in 1976.

“We are extremely proud of what the Israel Tennis Centers has achieved over these last 4 decades,” said ITC Founder Bill Lippy. “The ‘Miracle in the Desert’ is what we call the Israel Tennis Centers, transforming the lives of over 20,000 underserved Israeli children every year, over 500,000 since 1976. 40 years of witnessing the growth of the ITC from one single center to 14 today is an incredible testimony to what can be done when people come together to help those less fortunate reach their full potential.”

This year that celebratory spirit continues, as the Israel Tennis Centers Foundation announced plans for an exciting series of tennis exhibitions at a number of important communities in South Florida including Boca Raton: • Tue., Feb 28 Boca West CC

• Sun., Mar 5 Polo Club

• Thurs., Mar 9 St. Andrews Country Club

A diverse team of Israeli play-

www.bocaratontribune.com

ers and coaches representing various Israel Tennis Centers will be sharing their personal stories about what the ITC has meant to them, their families and the communities in which they live.

The centers represent a safe and nurturing environment in which these children can learn vital life skills and values while sharpening their tennis skills.

The focus of the ITC is on improving children’s lives every day so they can become better human beings.

Through its social impact programs, a wide range of children are served, including youth at risk, immigrants from Ethiopian and Russia and children with special needs, from autism and ADHD to Down Syndrome as well as those with developmental and physical disabilities. The ITC also recognizes the ability of tennis to bring together children from different religions and ethnicities as seen in its highly successful Coexistence Program.

The Israeli players will include Shadi, a 17-year-old Bedouin teenager who is part of the ITC’s High Performance Group at the Samson Israel Tennis Center in Beer Sheva. Shadi also participates in the ITC’s Coexistence Program that brings Israeli children from various backgrounds together to learn the importance of tolerance and understanding of one another. “I am proud to be part of the ITC, one in which we are taught to respect and appreciate each other’s differences. I play with a large group of Jewish kids and we have all become very close friends. We are truly one big happy family.”
