COMMUNITY Deutch Applauds Boca Raton Resolution on Climate Change

On September 12, the Boca Raton City Council unanimously passed a resolution urging the United States Congress to take prompt actions to address climate change.

The language in the resolution requests that Congress recognize the significant effects that climate change will have on the nation, and more specifically, the southeast Florida region. It also requests prompt action from Congress to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels by implementing effective policies and programs.

The resolution acknowledges the work of Congressman Ted Deutch's (FL22) bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus in Congress to find common ground on the urgent issue of climate change.

Congressman Deutch, who represents Boca Raton, applauded the Council's resolution and issued this statement:

“South Floridians of all political stripes understand the urgent threat climate change poses to our way of life.

That’s because rising tides and worsening storms are already affecting our community. I started the Climate Solutions Caucus with equal representation of Democrats and Republicans so that we can start

the conversation for bipartisan climate action. Congress should follow the lead of Boca Raton and the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact to put science above politics and act now on this growing threat.”

“Congress is already exploring efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the work of the Bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus, and as they do their part nationally, we’ll do our part locally,” said Councilmember Monica Mayotte. “Climate change is not a partisan issue, and we support and encourage the work of the Caucus at the national level.”

In 2017, the City of Boca Raton joined the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact, along with a coalition of neighboring cities and counties including Palm Beach, Broward, Miami/Dade and Monroe, and has begun integrating the Regional Climate Action Plan (RCAP) framework into appropriate existing and future sustainability action plans.

For more information on the Climate Action Resolution, please visit the City of Boca Raton's Sustainability webpage or read the City's Resolution 125-2018.

FAU’s A.D. Henderson University School Named 2018 National Blue Ribbon School

The U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos has announced Florida Atlantic University’s A.D. Henderson University School (ADHUS) as an National Blue Ribbon School for 2018. The exemplary high performing recognition is based on ADHUS’ overall academic performance. ADHUS was one of 12 schools in Florida to be named a National Blue Ribbon School.

“As an educational leader, I am humbled to accept this monumental award on behalf of our school and community,” said Sherry Bees, principal/ director of A.D. Henderson University School and FAU High School. “As we celebrate A.D. Henderson University School’s 50th anniversary, this recognition by the U.S. Department of Education acknowledges the innovative, exceptional education and loving environment that has occurred within our walls since our doors opened in 1968.

The coveted National Blue Ribbon Schools award affirms the hard work of educators, families and communities in creating safe and welcoming schools where students master challenging and engaging content. ADHUS is a Title 1,

www.bocaratontribune.com

K- 12 public laboratory school under the auspices of the State University System of Florida as part of FAU’s College of Education.

The chief state school officer of Florida nominated ADHUS for this national recognition. At least one-third of public schools nominated in each state must have student populations of at least 40 percent of students from disadvantaged backgrounds, and all of the schools must also meet the state’s annual measurable performance targets.

Now in its 36th year, the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program has bestowed recognition on more than 8,800 schools. The secretary and the Department of Education will celebrate with honorees at an awards ceremony in November in Washington, D.C.

“I look forward to celebrating this honor in the coming months with our students, educators, parents, and community as this is truly a testament of the dedication and collaboration that is occurring daily at A.D. Henderson & FAU High School,” Bees said.

On Saturday, October 13th, 2018, the Kathryn Krickstein Pressel MammoVan is coming to the Boca Raton Airport.

Presented by the Boca Raton Regional Hospital and hosted by the Boca Raton Airport Authority (BRAA), the MammoVan will be performing mammograms from 8:00AM to 2:00PM at the Customs and Border Protection Facility, which is located at 3694 Airport Road, Boca Raton, FL.

The MammoVan utilizes the most state-of-the-art mammography unit on the market — the Senographe Pristina 3D Mammography System. The 3D Pristina provides exceptional imaging quality while creating the most comfortable mammography experience possible.

By combining a curved, warmer, more comfortable detector with easy to reach armrests and a faster, quieter scanning process, users no longer have to deal with the discomforts often associated with mammograms. This is the only mobile 3D Pristina system in Florida, providing a special opportunity for those who schedule an appointment during the MammoVan’s visit to the Boca Raton Airport.

“There’s a significantly improved survival rate if breast cancer is discovered early,” said BRAA Executive Director Clara Bennett. “It’s critical for every

appropriate age woman to get a mammogram. With the convenience of the MammoVan and the comfort of the newest technology, there’s less and less excuses not to get checked out.”

Mammograms are 100% covered by insurance. There is also financial assistance available for those in need.

Individuals who have had a mammogram elsewhere in the past are will need to bring their previous images (CD) with reports to their appointment.

“October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” said Bennett.

“There’s no better time to make an appointment to get screened.”

Schedule a mammogram today by calling 561-955-4700 or by visiting BRRH.com/Mammovan. To apply for financial assistance, contact Troy Bingham at 561-955-4294.

Now in its 70th year of service to the Boca Raton community, the Boca Raton Airport is continuing its efforts to improve the health and well-being of everyone who calls this beautiful city home.

The Airport is proud to partner with the Kathryn Krickstein Pressel Mammovan and the Boca Raton Regional Hospital and looks forward to giving continued support to better the community and empower its residents.

A Community Working Together to Promote Literacy

A group of clergy members is transforming lives around Delray Beach. But their crusade is not from the pulpit or in the pews.

Instead, United Believers has taken to the streets to promote family literacy.

Recognizing that families play a key role in helping children hone their literacy skills and foster a love of reading beginning at birth, the organization recently convened Family Reading Matters at the Arts Garage and armed parents with the necessary tools.

Greta Britt, founder of United Believers, thinks the home environment is critically important for younger readers.

She maintains that if students do not see people reading in the home, it may be harder to instill the idea of reading for pleasure.

I must concur with her. Supportive and understanding parents

are critical in developing their child’s reading habits. If children do not enjoy reading when they are young, chances are they are not likely to do so when they get older. So, it all starts in home.

To illustrate the importance of reading, a father and his two children reenacted the reading session he holds in his home at the Sept. 8 event.

But what riveted the message was a dramatization where seven children - representing the All-AmericaCity’s diversity - held up signs showing the following tips for parents to motivate and help children develop a love for reading: • Encourage me • Check my SIS Gateway (the new system that replaced Edline to allow parents, guardians and students to log in and get important information on academics and attendance)

• Check my backpack (daily) • Talk to me about my day. (This can be engaging, and parents can learn about what goes on in the classroom) • Go to parent-teacher conference • Take me to the library • Hug me

United Believers is not alone in its quest.

For six years, the Delray Beach Education Board has been holding Delray Reads to promote reading at an early age.

Each year, in November, more than 250 community leaders and residents are dispersed to the local elementary schools to read to students for an hour. They also learn how they can help the schools and students.

This year the committee selected the book Interrupting Chicken by author and illustrator David Ezra Stein.

They will also have a celebrity speaker to help fire up participants at a breakfast.

Previous speakers were Ron Fairchild of the National Campaign for Grade-Level Reading, Lynn University President Kevin Ross, NBA referee and founder of the National Basketball Referees Association’s TIMEOUT for Reading program, Marc Davis, and last year, Dwight Stephenson, a Hall-of -Fame former Miami Dolphin and the winner of the NFL Man of the Year Award.

The lesson learned is that when parents, regardless of their socioeconomic status, read with their young children, it increases the likelihood of them developing a love for reading.

POSITIVE LIVING

By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Use the Life You Still Have!

If you think your life is over, you can be pretty sure that it is not. If you can read or hear these words, you are most definitely alive!

What you face may be unbearable at the moment, you may have lost enthusiasm for any new challenge, and your joy of living may be at an all-time low. Yet, even then, you are still breathing, and something can legitimately be expected of you!

Just think: as long as there is life in you, some kind of accomplishment remains open to you. It may be different in nature from past activi-

ties, your lack of strength, or your decreased health may not permit you to tackle certain challenges.

However, you can renew your strength by positively thinking of something new whereby to make a valid contribution to fellow humans, even if in your own mind this exceeds your powers and abilities to deliver.

Keep in mind that your capacity to think that your days have ended on earth, is in itself an indication that this is not so. You just need to refocus and seek wisdom, determining

what you can still contribute. Don’t think of what you did in years gone by but just on what you can still do now!

It is to be expected that one’s zest for life and in life decreases, on account of illness, due to advancing age, diminished abilities, and many additional normal obstructions or previously unknown limitations.

Nevertheless, you can still open your eyes each new day, and boldly inquire: “What can I attempt today that can make a positive difference to other lives?” It is not the magni-

tude of an act, nor the abundance of a deed that will make it significant. If it stems from a sincere heart, and it’s done in the best way one can, unquestionably the impact will surpass one’s expectations.

Don’t allow any paralysis of thought or action to hinder you in seeing a dream fulfilled, and leading a positive effort to completion. You are still alive and you can do it, with God’s help. So, use creatively the life you still have. It will do you and others more good than you can imagine!

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.

FAITH

By Charlotte Beasley

By Robert J. Tamasy

The Brain Bowl Cocktail Reception I attended the kickoff party for the Brain Bowl at the West Boca Busy Body Center this week. A very large crowd enjoyed some great healthy food and an appearance by five times boxing champion, Cory Spinks, son of another boxing legend, Leon Spinks.

Pam Polani and her committee did an outstanding job as usual! The reception was for the Brain Bowl that benefits Alzheimer’s, Parkinsons and Dementia.

What Followers Expect of Their Leaders

Have you ever chosen not to attempt things because of fear you might fail? Maybe it was assuming greater responsibility at work, trying to change careers, or even attempting to begin an ambitious self-improvement program? I have to admit having been guilty of that several times. This is ironic, because if we decide not try to do something, there is 100 percent certainty we will not accomplish it.

Not long ago I came across a quote from an unknown source that states, “Every accomplishment starts with a decision to try.” Sounds like a no-brainer, because it seems like common sense.

But when we confront a challenge and determine it is not worth the effort – or the risk of failure – to attempt, we affirm this “sense” is not so common after all.

Most of us are familiar with the classic case of Thomas Edison, inventor of the incandescent light bulb, who had to make hundreds of attempts before he finally succeeded in producing an electrical light as he had imagined. Scanning the pages of history, we could find countless other examples. But my intent here is not to celebrate the successes of those to tried and persisted. Rather, it is to mourn all of those who have conceived great ideas, but failed because they were unwilling to try.

A Chinese philosopher named Mencius many centuries ago expressed it in other terms: “The difference between enthusiasm and indifference is filled with failures.” My friend, Mike, comes to mind. Years ago he chose to leave a secure, well-compensated job to start a software consulting company from scratch. His “office” was in the basement of his house, his makeshift desk consisting of a door stretched across two file cabinets. He knew it was risky, having a

small family and leaving the certainty of a steady paycheck, along with corporate benefits such as health insurance.

As bills began to mount and he was briefly hospitalized with a serious illness, Mike was tempted to give up on his dream. “What was I thinking?” he asked himself more than once. But he determined to continue pursuing his vision and found a much-needed client “just in the nick of time.” Over time he and a small staff built the business into a successful international company. Mike experienced the fulfillment of realizing his entrepreneurial vision; his faith also grew greatly through in the process.

If we have a vision – or a lifetime dream – but find our resolve to pursue it wavering, what should we do?

The Scriptures give us some insight: Place your trust in the right place. Even the most talented and experienced people have times when their resolve is tested by adversity. However, if we believe God is leading to take a step of faith, not taking that step would be an act of disobedience. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Make God – and His will – your priority. Before making any major decision, first commit the matter to God in prayer, sincerely seeking His wisdom and direction. Once we are confident of how He is leading, we can be assured He is with us in what we are trying to do. “Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun” (Psalm 37:4-5).

VOLUNTEERISM IN BOCA RATON

MORE

By Jay Van Vechten

Volunteerism Is Alive And Well In Boca Raton

In a 2015 study it was determined that 62 million Americans volunteer annually, representing nearly 25% of all US residents. Together those who volunteer spend 7.9 billion hours helping others. Monetize those efforts and you’re looking at an annual commitment of $184 billion in community support.

Locally, volunteerism has always been at the heart of Boca Raton, perhaps even more so than in many other cities in Florida – or for that fact nationally. Create a cause; find a purpose and people will line up to help in this town. With more than 60 local charities to choose from, the options for residents to support something they believe in are almost endless.

One such cause is my own charity, the American Disabilities Foundation, Inc., and our annual event, the Boating & Beach Bash for People with Disabilities.

The Bash celebrated its 10th anniversary this past March. It has evolved into the largest, free, one day event in the nation for families with special needs. Held locally at Spanish River Park in Boca, this year’s Bash hosted nearly 6,000 people of all ages and with every imaginable disability.

Our guests and their caregivers are treated to a day of riding private yachts, enjoying a BBQ picnic, playing games based on abilities - not disabilities, and getting to enjoy a concert that celebrates diversity.

But this unique day would be impossible without the volunteers who support it. A core group of 25 steer the event during the six month planning stage. But on the day of the Bash upwards of 400 people of all ages step forward to make this a memorable day every attendee.

As for me, I was disabled from an accident in 2001. My wife Lowell has a brother who has been institutionalized for 50 years. Together, our commitment to helping others has never wavered. It has meant dedicating our retirement years to making a difference in the lives of those less fortunate.

What about our other committee members? In a recent survey we discovered that every member of our team has been touched by a disability, which motivated them to join with us in giving back and helping others who have been

similarly impacted by physical or even mental challenges. Their deeply personal reasons, which we hope to share with you in the coming weeks, underscore the fact that disabilities are never far from our own front door.

So what has ever moved you to volunteer? Have you thought about it?

Perhaps you’ll find your answer on this list of possible motivating factors: • to feel needed • to share a skill • to get to know a community • to demonstrate commitment to a cause/ belief • to exercise your civic duty • to donate your professional skills • to have an impact • to be challenged • to make new friends • to do something different from your job • to keep skills alive • to be part of a team

FAU Professor, Stoneman Douglas Senior Collaborate On Homicide Trends

The vast majority of homicides in the United States are attributable to firearms. The rate of homicide due to guns is about 25 times higher in the U.S. than many other high-income countries.

In the U.S., there are approximately 357 million guns among a population of about 323 million. Guns are present in about 1 in 3 households. In addition, gunrelated suicide rates in the U.S. are about eight times higher than other high-income countries.

For decades, there have been striking regional variations in deaths from homicide. Professors from Florida Atlantic University’s Schmidt College of Medicine, as well as Baylor College of Medicine, and a high school senior, shooting survivor and aspiring physician from Marjory Stoneman Douglas (MSD) High School in Parkland, Fla., set out to explore secular trends in homicide rates by comparing two “peer” cities, namely Baltimore and New York City.

The study, published in The American Journal of Medicine , demonstrates that, since the 1990s, homicide rates in Baltimore City remained high while those in New York City declined dramatically. These trends were evident among both whites and blacks although blacks had higher absolute rates.

Collaborators are Charles H. Hennekens, M.D., Dr.PH, senior author, Sir Richard Doll Professor and senior academic advisor in FAU’s College of Medicine; Robert S. Levine, M.D., first author and a professor at Baylor College of Medicine; Rebecca P. Schneid, 17, a senior at MSD, and Roger J. Zoorob, M.D., M.P.H., the Richard M. Keibert, Sr. professor and chair, Department of Family and Community Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine.

“The root causes for the marked differences in homicide rates between Baltimore and New York as well as among blacks and white are complex and likely to be multifactorial,” said Hennekens. “This ‘Tale of Two Cities,’ if better understood, might point the way to

the abolition of the ‘worst of times’ for Baltimore as well as many other U.S. cities as they seek to reduce their own high homicide rates.”

The authors believe that the data from this study raise several major clinical and contemporary medical policy issues.

“Contextual social disadvantage has been associated with increased homicide rates in U.S. cities,” said Levine.

“The successes in New York City did not happen overnight and occurred despite persistent poverty and skyrocketing income inequalities.”

The homicide rates in Baltimore and New York City were so markedly different from the 1990s to 2016 despite the fact that they were so similar in the 1980s, even though the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defined the two cities as “peers” according to 19 population based characteristics, which included population size, median household income, overall poverty, percent foreign born, and unemployment.

“Physicians relentlessly pursue improving the health and well-being of every single one of their patients,” said Schneid. “As an aspiring physician and a survivor of the horrific shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, I believe that preventive medicine specialists as well as public health officials can only protect the health of the public with the assistance of our political and community leaders.”

These descriptive findings derived from the Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (WONDER) data provided by the CDC included overall and race specific (white and black) mortality from homicide from birth to 85 plus years of age based on underlying cause of death obtained from death certificates.

“I believe that combatting the epidemic of homicides from firearms without addressing firearms is like combatting the epidemic of lung cancer from cigarettes without addressing cigarettes,” said Hennekens.

Lynn to host second annual Business Symposium

Lynn University’s College of Business and Management will host its second annual Business Symposium Wednesday, Nov. 14. This one-day forum invites the business community, educators and students to explore connections and advancements in global enterprise.

Attendees will learn from industry leaders on the hottest topics facing businesses today, including cybersecurity, data analytics, consumer trends, corporate culture, cryptocurrency, the future of retail and more. Business Symposium will offer two keynote speaker presentations, more than 20 interactive breakout sessions and networking opportunities.

Headlining the event is Cynthia Trudell, former executive vice president and chief human resources officer at PepsiCo, and David Clarke, global chief experience officer and principal at PricewaterhouseCoopers. Trudell’s presentation is part of the Dively Frontiers in Globalization Lecture Series, made possible by the George S. Dively Foundation and sponsored in part by the R.A. Ritter Foundation.

As PepsiCo’s former EVP and CHRO, Trudell managed the company’s global human resources and human capi-

tal management strategy for more than 10 years. Clarke serves as PwC’s global CxO and is also the creator of PwC Global Experience Consulting—a platform that brings business consultants, eXperience designers and technology specialists together to create value for clients.

In celebration of both Global Entrepreneurship Week and International Education Week, two academic conferences will participate in this year’s conference: the Academy of Business Research and the International Organization of Social Sciences and Behavioral Research.

Attendees can also visit the South Florida Franchising Expo where exhibitors will showcase franchising opportunities in partnership with the Sunshine State Franchising Association.

Registration will begin at 7:30 a.m., and sessions will take place at Lynn’s Mohammed Indimi International Business Center and the Keith C. and Elaine Johnson Wold Performing Arts Center.

Tickets are $60.

Lynn’s Business Symposium is sponsored by The Harcourt M. & Virginia W. Sylvester Foundation, Boca Raton Airport Authority, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Florida Power & Light, Northwestern Mutual and Office Depot.

SPORTS Lynn Men’s Soccer Knocks-Off Number 2 Palm Beach Atlantic

Boca West Country Club Hosting Inaugural USAPA Pickleball Tournament

The table was set and Lynn University's men's soccer team was not going to pass on the upset special as the squad knocked-off second-ranked Palm Beach Atlantic 1-0 on Wednesday night. The victory proved extra special as Jack Watson logged the gamewinner for his first goal in over a year.

Streaking FAU Women’s Soccer En Route to San Antonio

After a tough non-conference start to the year, the Florida Atlantic University women's soccer team has ran together five straight wins, the last four of which have been shutouts, and hold a current 4-0-0 mark in Conference USA play. All of that is on the line, on the road, Friday night at UTSA at 8 p.m.

Eastern.

FAU (7-6-0, 4-0-0 C-USA) moved above .500 this season for the first time with C-USA shutouts over Louisiana Tech (1-0) and Southern Miss (2-0) over this past weekend. For the third consecutive week, that earned an Owl a C-USA weekly honor, with Ebba Blomqvist chosen as Defensive Player of the Week.

At this point, Tiril Haga leads the team in goals (four) and points (10), Pernille Velta in assists (five, tied for fifth in the league), and 10 Owls have notched at least one goal, with another six in the points column with an assist. With the four recent shutouts, goalkeeper Jennifer Ocampo is now tied for third in the league that category, and is fifth in C-USA with 50 saves.

UTSA (4-5-1, 0-2-1 C-USA) is winless in their last three matches, all within the league, tying Middle Tennessee

October 5 - October 11, 2018

before dropping back-to-back decisions to Rice and North Texas. Friday night's match against the Owls will be their 2018 C-USA home opener. Lexi Bolton and Ellis Patterson each have five goals to pace the Roadrunners, and they are onetwo in assists as well, with four and three, respectively.

The Roadrunners have a 1-0-2 advantage over the Owls, with the win coming last time out, in 2015, 1-0 in Boca Raton.

The previous two years, these squads tied one another: a scoreless home affair in FAU's first ever Conference USA match in 2013, and 1-1 on the road in San Antonio in 2014.

Not a single current Owl has ever logged a minute in a match against UTSA, with no meetings the last two years.

Next are the final two matches for the Owls at FAU Soccer Stadium in 2018, hosting Old Dominion and Middle Tennessee. The first match, against the Monarchs, is Thursday, Oct. 11 at 7 p.m.

The regular season home finale, which is also Senior Day, takes place versus the Blue Raiders on Sunday, Oct. 14, with a 1 p.m. kickoff. Reserve your tickets now by visiting www.FAUSports.com or calling 1-866-FAU-OWLS.

Boca West Country Club is hosting its inaugural “Engage Pickleball” tournament Friday, October 5 through Sunday, October 7. The event is open for play to the general public.

Competitive pickleball players from around the state and the nation have registered and will gather at Boca West over the weekend, competing for $5,000 in prize money in the USA Pickleball Association sanctioned tournament.

The event will kick off on Friday, October 5 from 3 – 4:30 p.m. with a social and exhibition. Saturday will feature a clinic for Boca West members from 8:30 – 10:30 a.m. followed by a Men’s and Women’s Doubles Tournament starting at 11 a.m. Sunday, October 7 will feature a Mixed Doubles tournament at 11 a.m.

More info can be found here.

“We are excited to partner with Engage Pickleball and we are proud to host some of the nation’s the top players at Boca West,” said Matthew Linderman, CCM, President, Chief Operating Officer and General Manager at Boca West.

terest in pickleball and now we have eight pickleball courts at Boca West to accommodate the demand,” said John Joyce, Director of Tennis at Boca West Country Club.

Florida Atlantic University has named Ebba Blomqvist (women's soccer) and Rashad Smith (football) studentathletes of the week.

Blomqvist earned Conference USA Defensive Player of the Week honors on Monday after leading the Owls to consecutive shutouts last week against Louisiana Tech and Southern Miss. FAU is off to the best start in conference play in program history with a 4-0-0 record.

The senior was part of the defensive effort that held the Lady Techsters to eight shots on Friday and she set up a late game-winning goal for the squad.

On Sunday, the Skovde, Sweden native made a penalty kick that proved to be the game-winner in the Owls' 2-0 win over Southern Miss.

Smith notched six tackles at Middle Tennessee on Saturday, including five solo and 2.0 tackles for loss. The junior's pick to begin the second was his third of the season which is the third in the country. The Florida City, Florida native is also 54th in the nation in total tackles with 43 on the year.

Blomqvist and the women's soccer team will hit the road to take on UTSA on Friday in San Antonio. The Owls will be back at FAU Soccer Stadium next week with a pair of matches against Old Dominion (Oct. 11) and Middle Tennessee (Oct. 14).

Smith and the football team return home to take on Old Dominion on Saturday at 5 p.m. The game will be broadcast on Stadium.
