Community FAU Receives $1M to Name the Leon Charney Diplomacy Program By: Lisa Metcalf Florida Atlantic University has received a $1 million gift from the family of Leon Charney to name the Leon Charney Diplomacy Program within FAU’s Peace Justice and Human Rights Initiative. The gift will allow for the creation of three Leon Charney Scholarships each fall and spring semester, as well as expand the existing Diplomacy Program to create an Undergraduate Honors Program (UHP) delegation, and expand to create a FAU High School delegation. The UHP and FAU High students will be trained in their own class and will compete in nationals in Washington, D.C. each fall. “Tzili Charney is dedicated to keeping her beloved husband’s legacy alive through education and awareness. Her work in Israel in this regard is transformative – and her commitment to supporting our work at FAU will also be transformative,” said Heather Coltman, DMA, dean of FAU’s Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters. “Her extraordinary generosity, passion and commitment are a gift to all of us.” Charney was awarded an honorary doctorate in humane letters from FAU in December 2015 in recognition of his lifelong commitment to peace through
diplomacy. A prominent lawyer, author and broadcaster, as well as a former advisor to notable statesmen including U.S. President Jimmy Carter, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Israeli President Ezer Weizman, Charney passed away in March 2016. “For Leon, communication was key. Keep all channels open and never miss an opportunity for dialogue,” said Tzili Charney. “I would like for all young people to be inspired and to find their own key.” FAU’s Diplomacy Program was established in 1996 by Jeffery Morton, Ph.D., professor of political science in FAU’s Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters. The program offers students opportunities to enhance their diplomatic skills in areas such as speech writing, public speaking, negotiation, dispute resolution and research. Participants take part in diplomatic competitions that provide simulations of major international organizations in New York City and Washington, D.C. For the past 10 years, the delegation has received top honors at the National Model United Nations simulation. “I cannot imagine a greater honor than for the FAU Diplomacy Program to be associated with Leon Charney and his legacy of diplomatic excellence,” Morton said.
Boating and Beach Bash Holds Successful 9th Annual Event
By: Michael Demyan The ninth annual Boating and Beach Bash for People with Disabilities was held on Saturday, March 18, which attracted over 5,000 people and 400 volunteers. The American Disabilities Foundation sponsored event was founded by Jay Van Vechten and is now known as the largest free event for those with special needs. The Bash kicked off at 10 a.m. at Spanish River Park in Boca Raton and lasted until 3 p.m. Fun festivities included music, games, food and boat rides. “For most attendees, it is the one event where they can fully relax and not be judged or stared at for their differences,” Van Vechten said. Musical entertainment kicked off with the national anthem by Chloe Dolandis. Following her was a performance of “We are the World” by Mason Pace with the help of children from the Miracle Network of Delray Beach. Other performances included local singer Tori Lynn and Broadway star Andrea McArdle, who sang the classic song “Tomorrow” from “Annie.” One of the most popular activities were the boat rides on the Intracoastal Waterway. Many of the yachts were provided by members of the Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club. The U.S. Coast Guard and Coast Guard Auxiliary were in attendance to help everyone on and off the boats with assistance from physical therapists and physical therapy students.
Along with the traditional boat rides on the intracoastal, guests were also able to enjoy a ride on the Catabella Express. The multicolored miniature train, which is wheelchair accessible, was provided thanks to Mark's Medical Mobility. Ronald McDonald was in attendance at the event along with Dazzle the clown. Dazzle entertained the children with her humorous personality and face painting, putting a smile on many faces throughout the day. Costume World of Deerfield Beach also provided costumes for superheroes and princesses who walked the grounds taking photos and having fun with enthusiastic attendees. The Bash’s medical director, Dr. Albert Dabbah, is happy to see what the event can do for those who live restricted lives. “Most have never been for a boat ride until they attend their first Bash gathering,” Dr. Dabbah said. “Many undoubtedly never got to enjoy a relaxing picnic in the park with their loved ones until they came to this event. It really is heartwarming to observe.” In addition to the fun activities, the Boating and Beach Bash also featured a wellness center tent which had medical professionals who people could speak with as well as free non-invasive medical testing. The hundreds of volunteers provided a huge help to make the Bash another success, as they all helped in various ways from planning to assisting those in attendance. Their continued support, along with the assistance of many sponsors, are some of the many reasons the Bash continues to grow every year. Now with this year’s event completed, Van Vechten and the volunteers will look toward putting together the 10th annual Bash, which will take place next March.

Boca High Students Make Sure No One Has to Eat Lunch Alone
Boca Native Making a Name for Himself on His way to Racing’s Biggest Stage By: Amy Harrop
By: Michael Demyan and Nikki Colonna A Boca Raton Community High School senior has decided to make it his mission to make sure no student eats lunch alone. The school has a population of over 3,000 students, which can make it intimidating for some to make friends and have a place to sit, especially if they are new or have a language barrier. Denis Estimon immigrated to the U.S. from Haiti when he was in the first grade and had the same feelings many students face today during their lunch hour. He started to notice how everyone was broken up into separate groups and talked about it with his mentor, Gregg Francis, who challenged him to make a positive change. Last summer, Estimon, along with fellow students Allie Sealy, Jean Max Meradieu and Kinsley Florestal, came up with the idea of We Dine Together. Finding excluded kids was actually not the original purpose of the group, however. “When we originally started the club it was basically just a club where we bring together a whole bunch of different groups to eat together,” Estimon said. Then at a meeting, they were examining the groups and thought about all of the kids who did not belong to one. There were many kids who would spend lunch sitting by themselves without friends to talk to. “That’s when the whole mission changed to reach the unreached,” he said. Now with the help of their teacher, Jordan Hernandez, Estimon and the rest of We Dine Together hold meetings once a week during lunch where they share a meal. Before they eat though, they always have some activities and games to help everyone interact with each other. It can help break the kids out of their comfort zone and create new friendships. “Sooner or later, people are going to realize that they have things March 31 - April 6, 2017
in common and realize no matter what their skin color is, we’re really not all that different,” Estimon said. On days they do not meet, the group of kids make their way to the lunch area and courtyard to make sure that no one is alone and searching for someone to sit with. Former student class president and Leadership member Haley Little is happy to hear about this new club and what it will bring to the school’s environment. “We Dine Together makes Boca Raton High School more of a family,” Little said. “You have the chance to connect with students you wouldn't have had the chance to meet otherwise. I wish I could have been a part of this.” Little came from a small private middle school, so her transition to Boca High was not easy for her as well. She thinks this new group adds a positive vibe to the school and expects it will continue to inspire others and build new unexpected relationships. Throughout the school year, the club has created many new friendships and introduced new bonds to people who otherwise may have never met. This has influenced more and more people to not only join the club, but also helped students be more openminded to making new friends and accepting others at their lunch tables. “It feels amazing,” Estimon said. “When we first started out, it wasn’t about publicity or anything like that. Basically we were trying to help people. This is something that every school in this country - in the world needs.” Estimon hopes that the We Dine Together program can expand to more schools around the country to continue the effort to make sure no one is left alone. “The biggest thing is now people are trying to do the same thing that we’re doing,” he said. “People want to replicate it in their schools and it just goes to show how one idea can make a difference.”
Dalton Sargeant is the definition of a well-rounded driver with experience well beyond his years. The 18 year old driver of the #77 ARCA Series Cunningham Motorsports Ford Fusion has been behind the wheel since his early childhood days, where he started racing go karts with his brother. What started out as a fun activity soon became a lifestyle. As Dalton made more laps in a go kart and started winning races, he developed an eagerness to win and accomplish even more within the sport. Continuously winning races is what fueled his drive and what ultimately led to Sargeant realizing that racing wasn't just a fun activity, but a lifelong career. In addition to starting his career young, Dalton's path led him in a different direction -- open wheel racing. In 2013, Dalton made the voyage over to Europe where he competed in the Euro Series in an open wheel car. When asked about the experience, Dalton has nothing but positive things to say. He says that it was a great experience and he felt as though both he and his brother were at the point in their careers where racing overseas made sense. Sargeant notes that the car control and the cars themselves is what appealed to him, and that racing stock cars and open wheel cars makes for completely different experiences behind the wheel -- there's a different attitude and feel about each type of car and competition among drivers. Dalton decided to head back to racing stock cars because he missed the competitiveness of the cars and the thrill of racing side to side with competitors. 2016 was Dalton's debut year in the ARCA Series, and he didn't disappoint. Dalton finished eighth in the ARCA Series in 2016, earning Rookie of the Year Honors. He finished out the season with 1 win, 10 top 5 finishes and 12 top 10 finishes. His plan for 2017 is to run the full season and to become a contender for the championship at the end of the season. In addition to achieving greatness on the track, Dalton plans on achieving greatness in his personal endeavors as well. In the past, Dalton has joined other drivers in visiting sick children in hospitals, among other various charity endeavors. Sargeant notes that it's very important to be involved in the community and to be consistently reaching out to new fans in different communities. He strives to give back
www.bocaratontribune.com
the support he receives as a driver to local communities and will continue to do so as his career progresses. Although racing is his full-time focus, Sargeant still has some time to enjoy other activities outside of the track. Growing up in Boca Raton, Dalton has always been surrounded by water. His Instagram feed gives fans detail into his life by the water -- whether that be wrestling alligators, enjoying a boat ride or spending some time fishing, he makes the best of his time away from the track. Dalton loves the outdoors and spends his free time hunting as well. When he sits back and reflects on his career thus far, there are a few moments that stick out to him as "cool" moments, like being mentored by four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon. One surreal moment in his career occurred at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, where Dalton received some helpful pointers from Jeff Gordon. He recalls thinking mid conversation about how cool it was to be standing there, having a chat with one of NASCAR's most successful drivers. When asked what NASCAR driver, past or present, he would love to race alongside, he names Dale Earnhardt Sr. as being at the top of his list. He also has a lot of admiration for the late Tim Richmond, who also competed in both open wheel and stock car racing and was a legendary driver during his time. When he makes it onto the big stage in the NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series, Sargeant wants to make a statement in pre-race Driver Introductions. He can picture himself walking out in Bristol to 'Back in Black', an AC/DC classic. He says that it would be super cool to have that as his song -- especially seeing that he drives a black car. All fun questions aside, Dalton has some advice for young dreamers trying to find their way in the sport. Dalton jokes that racing is a struggle, but then goes on to note that ultimately, hard work will get you places. Success in the points standings is measured by how well drivers perform on the track and what their finishing position is, but success as a driver means a lot more than where you finish. Sargeant says that you must put in the effort on and off the track -- extra effort is what gets you further, allows you to stand out among the competition, and what ultimately leads to your success in the long run. Dalton has undeniable talent, drive and the willingness to go the extra mile -all of which are great attributes that are sure to land him on the biggest NASCAR stage in the near future.

Florida Atlantic University’s Technology and Aerospace Club (TAC) within the College of Engineering and Computer Science recently placed third in two categories at the 2016-17 Hybrid Motor High-Powered Rocket Competition in Bunnell, Florida. Team “FAU Skywalkers” placed third in the “Maximum Altitude” category, while team “FAU Owl Out of Ideas” placed third in the “Closest to 2000 Feet” category. FAU’s highest launch was 2,175 feet. While FAU has entered the competition in previous years, this was the first time an FAU team had a successful launch at the competition. “The faculty of the Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering are extremely proud of the accomplishments of this relatively new club. The club’s impressive performance is strictly because of the passion and hard work of the officers and team members,” said Javad Hashemi, Ph.D., professor and chair of FAU’s Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering, and team faculty adviser. “We hope to initiate a tradition of excellence in this aerospace field that showcases their continued success.”
More than 20 teams from Florida colleges and universities participated in the event, which was sponsored by the NASA Florida Space Grant Consortium and the Northeast Florida Association of Rocketry . Teams built their rockets from scratch or a kit, and were awarded points based on successful flights and an engineering notebook, which detailed the team’s data, calculations, drawings, test results, notes and ideas. “Our success is notable not just because this was our first launch at the competition, but also because nearly all of the students participating had no prior aerospace experience,” said Kavita Braun, president of TAC. “We achieved our goal of placing in the top three by increased communication among members, more time practicing inside and outside the lab and amazing mentors in the community helping us along the way.” In addition to Braun, other team members of TAC include Tyler Ekstrom (motor/power systems team leader), Adam Prey (electronics team leader), Roberto Sanchez-Giron (design team leader), Michael Padron, Jeffrey Basiliere, Dudrine Richemond, Daniel Rodriguez, Daniel Marra, Carlos Herrera, Brandon Nava, Tahir Farrukh, Heather Crawford, Victoria Brace and Jade Minkoff.

Corporate Support, Golf Courses: a Formula to Groom Inner City Youth Golfers I still shake my head, but more so smile, when I recall the day I told the 70+-year-old grandmother about the opportunity for her grandchild to receive golf lessons. She stared at me and with the innocence of a child, responded, “Mr. C. Ron, golfing? Isn’t that a game for white people and how am I going to afford that? To her amazement, I told her that golfing has become a game for all people, especially children in her community. Thanks to a group of golfers in Riviera Beach, the game that she once knew as “the white man’s game” is now open to all children including her eightyear-old grandchild. Twice monthly, her granddaughter and a handful of other youth from Delray Beach have been receiving golfing lessons from the Inner City Youth Golfers in collaboration with the
City of Riviera Beach Parks and Recreation Department. Under the leadership of Palm Beach Athletics Hall of Famer Malachi Knowles and his loving wife, Essie, the organization has been opening up another world to these children, many whom do not experience any sporting activity in their daily lives. Before the children get to hit a golf ball, they receive classroom sessions on the history of the game, golf terminology, sportsmanship, respect, confidence and golf course etiquette as well as other matters relating to the game. Then they take a written test, often times in the form of a word game, which reinforces reading and sharpens their reading skills. Recently, about 30 students spent a day at the Honda Classic where they heard from professionals and saw the game up close.
In May they are scheduled for a daylong field trip to the PGA Hall of Fame in Port St. Lucie. There also is a lineup of activities planned for them this summer. In the coming weeks they will be at Lone Pine Golf Course where they will put into practice what they learned in the classroom. I cannot wait for them to see that hitting a good 5-iron shot can be a lot more difficult than sinking a jump shot from 15 feet out on the basketball court. After the first two weeks, the program became a hit for the students. They began bonding together and on Thursdays, I can count on at least two of them to send me reminders about picking them up Saturday morning for golfing. I’m sure there are many local organizations and golf clubs that are doing their part to introduce golfing to our youth. If you are already doing so,
or if you would love to help out, please let me know. There are numerous innercity children who could benefit from a few hours of your time each month. This summer, hundreds of students will be out of school with nothing to do and getting into trouble is a viable option. Hosting a day of golfing at your country club or your golf course could be a great investment in a child’s life. I encourage local corporations and golfing organizations to lend a helping hand to ensure our youth are exposed to the game. The key to any inner city youth program today is corporate support. And until golf courses open up for these children to play and financial support is available, all efforts are futile. It does not matter how much you educate and train a child, it won’t do much good if they do not have the resources or somewhere to play.
POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.
Always Be On The Lookout! If you attempt to go anywhere with your eyes closed, you’ll most certainly stumble somewhere and fall, besides other possible disasters your lack of caution can cause. The same is equally true in our daily living in the world. It’s important that we always be on the lookout! Live all your days with awareness of what is in front of you, what you’ve left behind, whatever surrounds you, and carve a safe path to lead you to where you need to be, so as to get there efficiently, doing much good while you’re en route as well as at your place of arrival. The idea of always being on the lookout does not denote spy tactics.
It’s also not to intrude or meddle into somebody else’s territory. The purpose should never be to force your way into somebody or something where you might not belong, or even be welcome! I once read a significant challenge about two houses. One was filled with mirrors around all its walls; the other contained a great number of windows all over. The question was: What kind of house would you prefer to inhabit – the one filled with mirrors, where you would only look at yourself all the time, or a house with many windows, out of which you could contemplate the world, your surroundings, and the needs you could detect from that vantage point of viewing?
When I recommend to myself and my readers always to be on the lookout, my intent is precisely to urge us all to be sensitive to much that surrounds us, particularly the needs that expect from us possible solutions we may be able to provide. The world requires more concerned people, more observant individuals, more persons in search of fresh opportunities to do good for the benefit of others. Everywhere countless fellow humans lack encouragement, both to proceed in the route where they find themselves, as well as to find new trajectories in life wherein challenges will be found through which needs may be met, seeds may be sown, and rich
harvests may also be gathered. Everybody is uniquely equipped with ideas and skills which, if transformed into positive action, can contribute significantly to improve other lives and, in the process, make this world a better place. Let us never minimize what we already have; let us simply find concrete ways of doing what we can, with what we already possess, for the benefit of others who need our personal deeds and contributions! Persons prepared to keep their eyes widely open, shall never miss new opportunities anywhere, to bless other lives in significant ways!
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.

We mourn the passing of our Aunt, Frances Patricia Hughes, on March 18, 2017 in Boca Raton, Florida. She was ahead of her time. She was a woman who educated and supported herself. She taught Nursing at university level. A Veteran of WWII, she was one of the first Bachelor and then Master degreed nurses, an early graduate of Seton Hall University and later Barry College.
She knew what a financial planner was when few did and consequently supported herself without anyone's help until this day. She was affectionately known as “aunt frantic “ because she was always into something. She loved all her nieces and nephews and then grand nieces and nephews and finally great grand nieces and nephews fiercely. She had a life well lived. We were blessed to love her and have her sometimes harsh but always loving advice. She is survived by nephews, Roy A. Holloway of Otto, NC, Michael E. Holloway of Loxahatchee, FL and niece, MaryEllen Ballew Thomas of Georgetown, TX, their spouses, their children and grandchildren. A Memorial Mass will be held in Long Branch, NJ.

Boca West Country Club, a premier residential golf destination with greens carved by top architects and World Golf Hall of Famers, unveiled its new $50 million Golf Clubhouse on Tuesday, March 14. The 153,000 square foot clubhouse defines a new era of luxury living for its members, who already enjoy Boca West’s unparalleled amenities and services. The Clubhouse was built by Hedrick Brothers Construction, Inc., and designed by Architectural Design and Planning Group with interiors by Image Design. The top level of the new building features a stunning lobby with two luxurious rotundas. One rotunda leads you to the two new restaurants, Grand Central, a retro-themed deli, sports bar and grill and Prime Cut, a dramatic signature restaurant featuring endless views and a spectacular 1,800 bottle wine cellar. The second rotunda starts off with the Club’s very unique Boutique, boasting the look of an upscale department store or a shop you might see on Worth Avenue then leads you to the very “clubby” Library and an activities ballroom that will seat 500. From here you will enter either the ladies or men’s locker rooms both of which feature state-of-the-art stretching equipment and golf simulators. On the lower level you will find a modern shopping experience at the club’s Golf Shoppe as well as an under-roof golf cart staging area. Boca West Country Club is a popular venue for South Florida charity galas and luncheons as well as weddings and special events. The exciting new clubhouse will expand the Club’s capability to host such weddings and special events. “Our members are thrilled to add this spectacular new clubhouse to the one-of-akind amenities offered at Boca

West,” said Jay DiPietro, CCM (Certified Club Manager), President and COO, Boca West Country Club. “We built this $50 million clubhouse without a member assessment, due to strong stewardship of membership dollars. I believe we have accomplished our dream of creating an extraordinary new facility that is aligned with our notable stature as being the #1 Private Residential Country Club in America.” “We feel we have more than just a new clubhouse, it’s a long-term investment in the iconic lifestyle we personify at Boca West,” said Matthew Linderman, CCM, the newly appointed general manager who oversaw much of the construction as the club’s assistant general manager. “We wanted our members to feel that the Club is an extension of their home. We strived for a feeling of comfort and ease, certainly impressive, but in an understated elegance,” said Bob Locke, board chairman.

Who Will Remember Your Name? Patrick Morley, who wrote the best-selling book, The Man in the Mirror, and became a pioneer in the Christian men’s movement a few decades ago, is an astute observer of humankind. Recently he began a blog post by reflecting on “an enormously successful businessman and iconic philanthropist” in his city: “His name was constantly in the press,” Morley wrote. “He was far more well-known than you or I will ever be, yet 10 years after the last time I heard his name, I cannot remember it. And there are many more just like him.” Then he asked his readers, “Who will remember your name 10 years after you die? What a great question by which to prioritize your life!” Morley was right. Most of the people who make the headlines today, those whose names are heard almost daily in the business periodicals, news broadcasts, or entertainment media, will be long forgotten within a decade’s time, replaced by other more recently “famous” individuals. Think, for instance, of the “one-hit wonders” in the music industry. They recorded one or two popular songs that kept everyone humming for a while, then seemingly disappeared. Occasionally we might hear their songs again in the radio, but we are at a loss trying to remember who the recording artists were. The same could be said about one-time “stars” in any field of endeavor, including the business and professional world. So the question is valid: Who will remember your name 10 years after you die – and if they do remember it, why? In the Bible’s book of Proverbs,
we find a number of thought-provoking references that underscore how fleeting fame can be. We also can learn how to establish a name that will be remembered – and for good reasons: A good name is priceless. A solid reputation can be destroyed in a moment of bad judgment, but a lasting legacy fondly remembered requires an entire lifetime to establish. “A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold” (Proverbs 22:1). Be someone people want to remember, not are eager to forget. There are good leaders and bad leaders; bad ones are not likely to be remembered for long. “The memory of the righteous will be a blessing, but the name of the wicked will rot” (Proverbs 10:7). “Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of the wicked, for the evil man has no future hope, and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out” (Proverbs 24:19-20). Focus on what will last, not on things that can be lost or rapidly decay over time. Temporal things, those that cannot be kept forever or that decline in worth over time, are vain pursuits. This is why Jesus instructed His followers to focus on the eternal, rather than the temporary: Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matt 6:1921). Heizer Media Group

This past Sunday, I attended the Tri-County Humane Society Doggie Ball at the Boca West Country Club. About 600 plus guests enjoyed a live and silent auction, a filet mignon and lobster tail dinner and great entertainment. Kudo’s to Tri County President, Sharon DiPietro for a great cowboy themed event.
Ah, the French. They have such a beautiful sense of melancholy. “Frantz” revels in melancholia. Writer-Director Francois Ozon has set the story, adapted from Ernst Lubitsch’s 1932 anti-war film “Broken Lullaby,” in Germany and France in 1919, just after World War I. Anna (Paula Beer, just 21 and luminous) is a young German woman whose fiancé Frantz Hoffmeister (Anton von Lucke in flashbacks) died in the “War to end all wars.” We see Anna placing flowers on the grave of Frantz. One day a stranger shows up at the cemetery and puts his own flowers on the grave. He is Adrien (Pierre Niney), a French veteran of the bitter war. Adrien tells Anna Frantz was his best friend before the war tore them apart. He regales her with their times together; in particular a visit to the Louvre in Paris, where Frantz admired a Manet painting with “a young man with his head thrown back.” For this brief episode the black-and-white film becomes color. The townspeople don’t take too
kindly to Adrien. He is shunned and even spat upon. Dr. Hans Hoffmeister (Ernst Stotzner) refuses to treat him or even let him in his house. Anna, who has no family, lives with Dr. Hans and his wife Magda (Marie Gruber). “Every Frenchman is my son’s murderer,” Dr. Hans fumes. Despite the ill will, Anna is intrigued by the handsome, morose Frenchman. Soon her adopted family comes around. But all is not what it seems. Mistruths and outright lies intersect with reality. The Manet painting so admired by Frantz and Adrien is called “The Suicide.” Adrien is not a simple, poor French boy. Enigmatic as well as melancholy, “Frantz” is ultimately hopeful that the wounds of war can be healed. When Anna beholds the Manet painting in color at the Louvre, a young man admiring it remarks, “You like it too?” “Yes,” Anna says. “It makes me want to live.” Four stars
