It didn’t take long for Palm Beach County Commissioners to vote to promote Vice Mayor Maria Sachs to mayor. It wasn’t a given. But when Sachs was nominated at the recent reorganization meeting, all seven commissioners were on board. Outgoing mayor and still a commissioner Gregg Weiss called his term “the honor of my lifetime,” before passing the gavel and the meeting to his successor. “You have really served us well,” Sachs said, adding “It is an awesome responsibility I take seriously…and I strive to lead by who preceded me.”

COMMUNITY The FWC Announces New Saltwater Fishing Record Categories Coming in 2024 Boca Raton, FL – The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC) Division of Marine Fisheries Management and its saltwater angler recognition program, Catch a Florida Memory, will begin accepting applications for three new record categories starting Jan. 1, 2024. In addition to the current All Tackle and Fly-Fishing Weight categories, the FWC will add a Youth Weight category for anglers aged 15 and under, and Youth and Adult Length categories to allow for catch-and-release records. The species eligible for records in the Youth and Adult Length categories include red drum, bonefish, permit and snook. To qualify for a Length Record, the fish must be caught on or after Jan. 1, 2024, measure at least 10 inches and be measured using a flat length measuring device with photographs showing measurement increments clearly visible. Once a record is approved, all subsequent records must be at least 0.5 inches (1.27 cm) greater than the previous record. The species eligible for records in the Youth Weight category include blackfin tuna, cobia, dolphinfish, flounder, gray (man-

grove) snapper, gray triggerfish, hardhead catfish, red grouper, sheepshead, Spanish mackerel, spotted seatrout and yellowtail snapper. The FWC is planning to include more species for records in the Youth Weight category in years to come, providing more opportunities for young saltwater anglers to participate in the records program. To qualify for a Youth Weight Record, the fish must be caught on or after Jan. 1, 2024, weigh a minimum of 1 pound (0.0453 kg) and follow the documentation requirements of the Adult Weight category. To qualify for a record, a completed application form must be submitted with the angler’s signature and a notary stamp. Applications are available at CatchaFloridaMemory.com/Records. Applications must be accompanied by digital or print photographs clearly showing the gear used to make the catch, the angler with their catch, various views of the fish for identification purposes, and required weight or length verification photos. Videos will be accepted for Youth and Adult Length record categories. Both youth and adult applications must be

submitted within three months of the catch date. Anglers who obtain a new approved state record after Jan. 1, 2024, receive a certificate, Catch a Florida Memory decal and custom fish metal decor courtesy of The Metal Edge. The FWC reserves the right to deny any application to the saltwater angler recognition programs for any reason. This includes improper fish handling, which will be especially important in both the Youth and Adult Length categories. To view best handling practices, visit MyFWC.com/ FishHandling. For a complete list of current categories, rules and eligible species, visit CatchaFloridaMemory.com/Records. This page will be updated with the new categories on Jan. 1, 2024. Florida Saltwater Fishing Records are part of the FWC’s Catch a Florida Memory – Saltwater Angler Recognition program, which rewards anglers for their fishing efforts while encouraging them to target a diversity of species.

CP Group’s 8th Annual Community Holiday Tree Lighting and Holiday Extravaganza at BRiC Drew Thousands to Holiday Kick-Off in Boca Raton Boca Raton, FL – The 8th Annual CP Group Holiday Tree Lighting and Holiday Extravaganza at BRiC dazzled eventgoers with a memorable evening of community, entertainment, and philanthropy. More than 2,000 who live, work, and play in Boca Raton enjoyed Santa’s arrival alongside his live reindeer and youth choir, acapella, and dance performances. Emceed by WPTV’s First Alert Chief Meteorologist Chief Steve Weagle, performances and countdown ceremonies led to lighting the evening’s centerpiece: BRiC’s 40-foot Christmas tree adorned with thousands of twinkling LED lights and hundreds of ornaments. The first free, open-to-the-public holiday kick-starter in Boca Raton, the eight-year marquee tradition presented by CP Group included a festive mix of seasonal favorites (photos with Santa, Santa Workshop activity tent, holiday performances), and new additions. The latter included a 12-foot holiday bounce house; family-friendly farm animal petting zoo; and a 360 Photoboothfor a “picture perfect” perspective. For those in the ticketed VIP Hospitality Tent, benefiting Junior League of Boca Raton, guests enjoyed

a carving station, hors d’oeuvres, personal face painter, and a Smores’ station as part of the “Kid’s Corner”. Awards were presented to cultural, science, and youth sports groups supported by CP Group. They included recognizing Boca Raton Little League’s Coach of the Year, Biggest Leader, and Volunteer of the Year; the Boca Raton High School Science Olympiad team, and artists featured in BRiC’s Art on BRiC Walls ongoing exhibitions. Donors of CPG Cares, a 501(c)(3) founded by CP Group leadership, were also recognized. Crowd-pleasers included performances by Organic Movements Dance School’s troupe of classically trained ballet students who presented a selection from “The Nutcracker,”West Boca Raton Community High School’s CALLIOPE (coordinated by nonprofit Nat King Cole Generation Hope), and Grandview Preparatory School’s AcaPride acapella ensemble and Extensions audition-based ensemble.

Society & The Schmidt Boca Raton History Museum. After the tree lighting, children of all ages enjoyed “taking the stage” for an interactive dance party and games. At the winter wonderland of memory-making fun, eventgoers were mesmerized by the illuminated “Snowflake Lane,” the LED Cirque performers on stage and roaming, and the Hula Hoop contortionist spinning with over 30 Hula Hoops. All enjoyed the holiday playlist curated by Celebrity DJ Dennis Michael Stelling (who has opened for John Mayer and others). WPTV was the exclusive television sponsor that also live streamed the festivities ; Boca Raton Magazine was the exclusive magazine sponsor. As always, the event benefited Spirit of Giving and the Junior League of Boca Raton. Spirit of Giving left with an abundance of unwrapped new toys and monetary donations for the nonprofit’s Annual Holiday Gift Drive that brings holiday cheer to 7,000+ underprivileged children in Palm Beach County. CP Group presented a check for $7,000 to the Junior League of Boca Raton, as 100% of VIP Hospitality Tent ticket

sales were donated to the nonprofit. “Working to raise the bar each year, we are proud that we were also able to exceed donation goals,” said Giana Pacinelli, Director of Communications for CP Group that fosters a vibrant and engaged ecosystem at BRiC that hosts and supports nonprofit fundraisers, cultural events, and community programming throughout the year. Owned and operated by CP Group, the state’s largest office landlord, BRiC is the largest single-facility office building in Florida at 1.7 million square feet.

CP Group acquired the campus in 2018 with the vision of transforming BRiC into a technology and life sciences hub for the Southeastern United States with unparalleled amenities, including two coffee shops, event space seating up to 1,000, an autonomous grab-and-go, art exhibitions, and more. Tenants include Boca Raton Regional Hospital, Kroger, Modernizing Medicine, and Canon.To learn more, visit workatbric.com.

FAITH by Jim Mathis

Don’t Let People Or Circumstances Steal Your Joy We sometimes hear people talking about the importance of finding work you love. This may be a little overrated, but it is important to do things that do not destroy your joy, your sense of satisfaction and meaning. You may be doing physical labor all day that is not very much fun, but coming home tired, knowing that you accomplished useful work, can be its own reward. Over the years I have had a variety of jobs and been involved in different kinds of business. The things that turned out to be joy-killers, I determined to get out of as quickly as possible. The work I have found most enjoyable has been anything that enables me to contribute to the lives of other people. Currently I spend most of my time restoring old photographs. This is very rewarding, especially since I not only enjoy the work but also like to hear people’s stories behind their pictures. I also do a lot of portrait photography. I love people and find delight in helping them

November 30 - December 07, 2023

look their best. I also have a seasonal job as a tax professional, preparing people’s income tax returns. Sitting down with them, getting to know and helping them in the annual task of filing their taxes is very worthwhile; guiding people through a process that can be very confusing. For years I managed a local coffee house, not only enabling people to enjoy their favorite caffeinated and decaffeinated beverages, but also creating an environment in which they could relax and interact with others in meaningful, even life-changing ways. Every now and then, however, I have gotten involved with something that initially might have sounded good, but soon I realized it was a wrong decision. I could have stayed and felt miserable or decided to leave at the earliest opportunity. Most of the time I chose the second option. The choice of whether to fulfill some sort of commitment or to get out

of that situation as soon as possible can be a hard one to make. Sometimes we can “grin and bear it,” toughing it out for a short time. Other times, however, it is best to recognize a no-win situation and bow out as amicably as possible if we find circumstances robbing us of our joy, peace, love, or sense of humor. I have often found principles from the Bible to be helpful in evaluating such difficult decisions: God created work for our good. Some people regard work as a “necessary evil,” but from the start the Lord ordained work to provide for our daily needs and give us a sense of meaning and fulfillment. “God blessed [Adam and Eve] and said to them, ‘Be fruitful…. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air…. I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food’” (Genesis 1:28-29). Man’s rebellion made work difficult.

www.bocaratontribune.com

Adam and Eve’s disobedience by eating from the forbidden tree carried consequences, including making work harder to perform and more challenging. “Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life…. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food” (Genesis 3:17-18). Work is rewarding when done for the right reasons. Work can be joyful and rewarding if we realize who we ultimately work for, and that God has equipped us with certain abilities and gifts. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men” (Colossians 3:23). © 2023.

COLUMNIST By: Thomas J. Madden

Where’s the vaccine for that pandemic Antisemitism? I was born on Yom Kippur 1938 in the City of Brotherly Love, but no worries, I will not be part of that pack of wolverines seeking the presidency as there’ll be enough incumbents, maybe by then even inmates in or around their eighties strutting and fretting their hour upon a stage hopping or limping toward that high and mighty office in 2024. In that same year was born in France, a Catholic philosopher, Jacques Maritain. No, that’s hardly a contradiction of terms as you can be Catholic and still awesomely philosophize. Maritain decried a diversion he said was as divisive then as it is today—antisemitism. His words rang out from the shadow of the Holocaust and the rise of Nazi Germany as a voice of reason and compassion springing from the heart of his vibrant, ever flourishing faith. Just weeks prior there had erupted a horror known as Kristallnacht, a fateful night in Nazi Germany during which thousands of Jewish businesses were destroyed, hundreds of synagogues burned, and thousands of Jewish men deported to concentration camps. While the savagery of the antisemitic excesses in the fall of 1938 had reached unprecedented levels, only time would tell the full extent of the horrors looming over monster-ridden Nazi Germany. Denouncing antisemitism Shamefully, not everyone of Maritain’s faith would respond with his undaunting perception and courage. One of the best-known Cath-

olic priests in America at the time would even foolishly defend Kristallnacht, could you believe it? Actually, defend the Nazi’s antisemitism calling Kristallnacht simply a retaliation for Jewish oppression of Christians. Today that de praved, empty-headed thinking haunts young priests like Father Patrick Briscoe, a host of a podcast call Godsplaining. Fr. Briscoe laments how Kristallnacht was defended by some numbskull Catholics as retribution just as today some blinded, brain-clogged activists defend Hamas terrorism on Oct.7, another dreadful day that will live in infamy. “After years of oppression, how else could Palestinians have responded?” is how today’s insane argument goes, says Briscoe. Decrying the conditions in Gaza, too many proHamas advocates blame Israel. They stupidly justify savage terrorism as an acceptable response to discord and discomfort of overcrowding and mismanagement in Gaza. But this crooked line of unreason cloaked as an argument for justice against oppression is patently cruel, illogical, and absurd as no such thing has happened. While I’m against Islamophobia too, I still ask how dumb demonstrators at the University of Wisconsin can be who chanted “Glory to the martyrs!” in praise of Hamas terrorists. Then the university describes the demonstration as “respectful dialogue?” What? One young demonstrator holds a sign during a Washington, D.C., demonstration depicting Israeli flags put into a trash can with the sign

reading, “Keep the world clean.” What? This mentality is not merely about Zionism or the state of Israel, says Fr. Briscoe. “We are seeing radical, inflammatory and evil expressions of contempt for the entire Jewish race.” As a side note, perhaps a boatful of wisdom, one of my deeply thoughtful Jewish friends, Dr. Michael, resents calling Jews a “race.” “We are a people- looking like me,” he says, “or like Moroccans, or Yemenis, or Ugandans, or Ethiopians, or Bengalis, or Japanese-whatever superficial characteristics. The commonality is a community in a contract with God to folllow God’s commandments.” Speaking of devout followers of God, after offering his sympathy for the October 7 attack on Israeli civilians by Hamas, Pope Francis told this to a delegation of rabbis: “The spread of anti-Semitic demonstrations, which I strongly condemn, is also of great concern. It is hateful. It is antisemitic. And it must be denounced. Spiritually we’re all semites Maritain rightly underscored that Jews and Christians must stand together. “It is no little matter, however, for a Christian to hate or to despise or to wish to treat degradingly the race from which sprang his God and the Immaculate Mother of his God,” says Maritain. “That is why the bitter zeal of anti-Semitism always turns in the end into a bitter zeal against Christianity.” He implored Christians to view the suffering of Jews with a broth-

erly eye, invoking the parable of the Good Samaritan, who helped a wounded stranger on the road. Maritain denounced racism as a “brutish” materialistic mockery of humanity. “From a social and cultural viewpoint, racism degrades and humiliates to an unimaginable degree reason, thought, science, and art,” argued Maritain. He rightly described racism as the most inhuman and desperate form of barbarism, chaining humanity to biological categories and fatalism. Though one may express opposition to and even condemnation of specific Israeli policies or actions concerning Palestinians or Israel’s Arab citizens, it remains an indisputable fact that Israel has not taken any action with the intent of exterminating the Palestinian people, either wholly or partially. “Will we learn the lessons of history?” ask Fr. Briscoe. As the death toll on both sides from the Israel-Hamas war continues to mount, “we Christians must be brave enough to pursue the truth. “Then as now, antisemitism is a deadly diversion, pulling our attention away from the true causes of our woes: the unbalanced materialistic structures and spirit of the modern world. “These beget unequal economic and social systems that need transformation. We must address these root causes of perpetual unrest rather than ever again permitting an existential prejudice to feel like an actual solution.”

BEEN THERE, DONE THAT By: Marci Shatzman

Cher’s Ignoring her age I was glad to see Cher plugging her new Christmas album in Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. She’s 77, so we’re the same age. Pushing 80 is a whole different world now, thanks to people like Cher. She’s the only female performer anywhere near her age dropping a new album this year or next. The closest is Sheryl Crow and she’s 61. November 30 - December 07, 2023

Male performers like Bruce Springsteen are still going strong at 74. And Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones just announced their new tour. He’s 80. AARP, the major retiree association, is bankrolling the tour, but like it or not that’s the Stones’ demographic. Cher was always a rebel and a rule breaker. So, she’s getting lots of pushback about the 40-year age difference with her

current boyfriend. But rich men have been trading their wives in for younger women for decades. I don’t have to name names. I’ve never seen a Cher show in person or considered myself a fan. But I thought she commanded the screen in her 2018 appearance in a “Momma Mia” sequel. And I was sorry she didn’t make even more movies after “Moonstruck” in 1987. Lifespans are much longer in general,

www.bocaratontribune.com

so we shouldn’t be surprised that Cher’s still being Cher. So many people are centenarians now, the newspaper I used to work for stopped covering 100 birthdays in 2018. My last story was an interview with a woman celebrating her 103rd. So, thank you Cher. The lesson learned for the rest of us, to quote former Trenton Mayor Douglas Palmer, is “keep on keepin’ on.” As long as we can.

Ellyn Okrent, CEO of Fuller Center, expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support from the community, stating, “Each year we are truly humbled and amazed by the

outpouring of support and generosity from our community. Funds raised from our annual Wee Dream Ball help us continue our next chapter and fulfill the mission we have been serving for the past 52 years.” The funds generated from this event play a pivotal role in supporting Fuller Center’s mission to embrace, educate, and empower hardworking, under-resourced families and children. Over the years, the organization has built a positive future for more than 900 children and 600 family members annually. Full-

er Center’s reach extends across more than 40 zip codes throughout Palm Beach County and northern Broward County. Notably, 62% of Fuller Center parents serve as essential or frontline workers, contributing to various sectors such as healthcare, retail, hospitality, and more.

Additionally, Fuller Center provides comprehensive family-centered support services, including mentoring programs, adult on-the-job training, coaching, and employment support.

How to Navigate Your Medicare Options During the Annual Enrollment Period (StatePoint) The average Medicare beneficiary in 2023 has access to 43 Medicare Advantage plans, the largest number of options ever, according to KFF. With so many plans to choose from, the Medicare and Prescription Drug Plan Annual Enrollment Period (AEP), taking place from October 15 to December 7, may be overwhelming and confusing.“The Medicare Annual Enrollment Period is when you can shop for a new plan, if you want to,” says Kate Long, consumer financial wellness advocate at Assurance IQ. “If you have a new doctor, are taking new prescriptions or if your existing plan simply no longer meets your needs, it could be time for a change.”As Long points out, shopping for a new plan doesn’t necessarily mean you cannot stay with the same carrier. They may have multiple plans available in your area.The important thing is finding a Medicare Advantage plan that addresses your unique healthcare and budget-

ary needs. To help you navigate your options, consider these tips from Assurance IQ:• The first tip is to review your Annual Notice of Change, which should have been mailed to you before October 15. This document explains changes to your plan, such as providers, prescription drugs or services no longer covered. Make sure to review it carefully to understand if these

changes could impact your plan benefits.• Next, you’ll want to assess your healthcare needs and financial standing. Are there services you know that you’ll need in the coming year? If your finances have changed, can you still afford your current plan? Are you taking a new prescription that your current plan doesn’t cover?• Now it may be time to shop around. Before enrolling

in a plan, make sure that your preferred doctor, specialists and any prescriptions you need are covered. Ask which outof-pocket costs you will be responsible for. It’s important to find an affordable plan for you.• You could also speak with a licensed insurance agent about your needs. Prep for the conversation by having a list of your prescriptions on hand, having yourMedicare card nearby, and having a list of your doctors and medical equipment you use. Knowing which company provides your medical equipment is also important. Be sure to also read the “Medicare & You” handbook that is mailed to all Medicare beneficiary households in late September. You can also find it online by visiting medicare.gov/medicare-and-you.Medicare options are more expansive than ever. And while that makes the Annual Enrollment Period more complicated, the upside is that by doing your homework, you’ll be more likely to find a plan that works for you.

Brightening the Holiday Season for the Military Community

(StatePoint) As we enter the holiday season and Americans across the country look forward to spending time with family, thousands of service members deployedoverseas – many to the Middle East in response to the Israel-Hamas war – will not have that luxury and will be spending the holidays far away from loved ones.Here is how USO Holidays programming delivers a piece of home to them, along with ideas for how you can get involved:1. Care packages: A care package might seem small in light of the challenges of deployment, but for many service members, they’re a reminder that they’re not forgotten by Americans back home. Aside from standard USO Care Packages, which contain snacks or toiletries, USO Holidays Care Packages have festive treats andgoodies, such as holiday candies, cozy socks and a warm beanie, that help bridgethe gap between home and the frontlines. This year, the USO will deliver 50,000 holiday packages to over 250 locations globally.2. Holiday traditions: Giving up treasured family traditions can be difficult. That’s why USO Centers and USO Mobile teams host holiday meals for service members and their families, complete with special treats ranging from pumpkin and sweet potato pie to hot cocoa bars. Each December, USO Holidays Cookie Week celebrates the time-honored tradition of November 30 - December 07, 2023

baking and decorating cookies, putting service members and military families in the holiday spirit wherever they are located. Other seasonal programming can include tree decorating, arts and crafts, holiday-themed movie nights and ugly sweater competitions. Through these-

activities, service members stationed far from home can still make holiday memories.3. Connections to home: Staying connected to family during the holidays can be difficult for service members stationed overseas, particularly for those in or near regions in conflict such as Eastern Eu-

www.bocaratontribune.com

rope or the Middle East. The USO Reading Program enables deployed service members to record themselves reading a book to their child. Then, the recording and a copy of the book are sent to thatservice member’s family.4. Happy travels: As most people know, holiday travel can be especially taxing. Thousands of service members and trainees from military installations across thecountry participate in the Holiday Block Leave period, many traveling through some of the busiest airports in the United States to be with their families during the holidays. USO airport centers can alleviate some of that stress for service members and trainees by providing a place to relax and unwind before thenext leg of their journey, along with all the comfort items they need.To learn more about these programs and how to support them, and for ideas on howto reach out to the military community to express your thanks during the holidays and throughout the year, visit uso.org/ campaign/holidays.The holiday season can look very different for service members and military families who must celebrate while separated from loved ones and home in all corners of the world. Bringing everyone together on special days fosters camaraderie and positivity, and provides a welcome break from the demands of military life.

Boca Tribune Publisher And Reporter To Help Judge City’s Dec. 6 Holiday Parade That Draws Thousands By Staff Reports Boca Raton Tribune Publisher Douglas Heizer and columnist/reporter Marci Shatzman will help judge the city of Boca Raton’s 51st Annual Holiday Street Parade. Thousands of spectators are expected from 7:30 to 9 p.m. Wednesday Dec. 6 along the parade route on Federal Highway from Southeast 5th Street to Northeast Mizner Boulevard downtown. More than 60 floats and marching groups will bring dance, lights and song to the festivities. This year’s parade theme is “Holidays on the Silver Screen.” Federal Highway from Glades Road to Camino Real will be closed in both directions from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. that evening. Road closure times are subject to change, according to the city. A “Know Before You Go” with specifics on parking and other details will be posted Monday afternoon Dec. 4 on the city’s website, social media, and via email and texts to existing signups, according to a city spokesperson. The city is urging spectators to plan ahead, noting that side streets will be closed along the parade route. Attendees are encouraged to walk, bike, carpool or park free at City Hall (201 W. Palmetto Park Road); Downtown Bo-

ca Raton Library (400 NW 2nd Ave.); Building Administration building (200 NW 2nd Ave.), and city parking lot (300 NW 2nd Ave.). Glenn Glazer, WPBF 25 First Warning Meteorologist, and Festival of the Arts BOCA executive director Joanna Marie Kaye will serve as parade judges, commentators and emcees. “I love Christmas and this is always a big thing, not only for me, but for my

family. My birthday is Dec. 26 and this makes the season even more festive,” said Heizer, governor of Rotary International’s South Florida District 6930 and director of Rotary Club of Boca Raton West. “Last year I was on the Rotary Club Vero Beach float at the Holiday Parade in Vero Beach, and that was a great honor and preparation for this year’s invitation. This is a huge honor for me. I am here to serve my community,” he

added. A career journalist who has been covering south Palm Beach County since 2000, Shatzman was raised going to parades in Philadelphia with her family. “You can imagine how much this means to me,” she said. “I’m just thrilled to be a parade judge in Boca Raton this year, so I’ve come full circle.” Other city of Boca Raton holiday events include: · 48th Annual Holiday Boat Parade on the waterways of the Intracoastal beginning at C-15 Canal on Saturday, Dec. 16 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Boats will travel south to Hillsboro Boulevard.

The Boca Raton Tribune

ENTERTAINMENT The Schmidt Boca Raton History Museum Announces Next Major Exhibition

Boca Raton, FL – The Schmidt Boca Raton History Museum, 71 N. Federal Highway, is proud to present its next major exhibition, Florida in World War II, from January 22 to May 17, 2024. This engaging exhibit, on loan from the Museum of Florida History, sheds light on the state’s significant role during the Second World War, to include its remarkable contributions and sacrifices during this pivotal era. “This profound exhibit showcases artifacts, stories and memories that reflect the courage, resilience and unwavering spirit of Floridians, who, in the face of great challenges, united to support the war effort,” said Mary Csar, Executive Director of the Schmidt Boca Raton History Museum. “Supplementing this exhibit are items from our collection, together with the Delray Beach Historical Society, to highlight our hometown heroes.” During World War II, Florida played a crucial part in the war effort, becoming home to hundreds of military installations. Notably, the 5,800-acre Boca Raton Army Air Field was one of the most important installations in the state. Florida’s strategic location, excellent flying weather, and proximity to vital shipping lanes made it ideal for both army and navy airfields. Florida in World War II explores:

Home Front Contributions – Civilians throughout Florida played a vital role in supporting our nation. Contributions included manning aircraft spotting towers, enduring rationing, volunteering for organizations such as the Red Cross and Civil Air Patrol, and more. Military Training – Florida was a major hub for rigorous military training programs during World War II. This

exhibit depicts the preparation and dedication of service personnel during that time. The U-Boat Threat – Florida’s proximity to the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean meant it was not immune to the U-boat threat. Delve into a time of tense moments when U-boats prowled the state’s waters and the response to this danger. Floridians in Service – Learn

about the brave Floridians who served in various branches of the military, including the Army, Navy and Coast Guard. The exhibit will include additional items on loan from the Delray Beach Historical Society such as a souvenir pennant and pillowcase and items from the Boca Raton Army Air Field. Boca Raton Historical Society’s collection includes an Army Air Force Lt. Colonel’s winter dress uniform; WWII era toy tanks, planes and wartime children’s books; and insignia from soldiers stationed here collected by 10-year-old Peter Barrett, who lived in Boca Raton at that time. For more information, visit www. BocaHistory.org. The Schmidt Boca Raton History Museum is the home of the Boca Raton Historical Society, whose mission is to collect, preserve, and present information and artifacts relevant to the past and evolving history of Boca Raton and to maintain a visible role in the education and the advocacy of historic preservation in the community. Now open to the public Wednesday through Saturday, 10 am to 4 pm, the museum is in historic Town Hall at 71 N. Federal Highway (33432). For more information, please call 561.395.6766 or visit www.BocaHistory.org.

Broadway Star Headlines FAU C.A.S.T. PartyCelebrating Arts and Culture Boca Raton, FL – Florida Atlantic University alumnus and Broadway and television star Marc Kudisch ’88 will headline the fourth annual Culture, Arts and Society Today (C.A.S.T.) Party hosted by FAU’s Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters. The event will take place on Monday, Feb. 19, 2024 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Boca Raton Marriott at Boca Center, 5150 Town Center Circle, Boca Raton, to celebrate the cultivation of arts and letters on campus and in the community. Guests of this “friend-, fan- and fundraiser” for student scholarships in the college will enjoy cocktails, fine food, and live musical theater numbers with three-time Tony Award nominee Kudisch, who recently starred in his 15th Broadway show. Other entertainment will include the FAU Jazz Band, Phil Hinton on piano, Juan Peña (FAU ’16) on guitar, Ryan Hutchings and Mitchell Hutchings with musical theatre, visual arts pop-ups, and dancing to live pop music from FAU’s own commercial music band. Kudisch, whose own career path started with honing his theater skills as a scholarship student in the Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, has been seen on and off Broadway, as well as in modern opera, on television, and

in film for the past 30 years, most recently as a co-star in “Girl From The North Country” at The Belasco Theatre. He has been nominated for a Tony Award for his role as Trevor Graydon in “Thoroughly Modern Millie;” Baron Bomburst in “Chitty

Television/ film credits include Dr Gus on “Billions” (Showtime); Ty Rathbone on “The Tick” (Amazon); Billy Kastner on “Late Night” (Amazon); and Roger Wade on “Mindhunter” (Netflix). The 2024 CAST Party also will commemorate the 30th anniversary of the naming of the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters by honoring the legacy of Schmidt and the Schmidt Family Foundation. In addition, Myrna Gordon Skurnick will be honored for her contributions to the arts in South Florida and BrandStar will be recognized for its generous gift to transform the former FAU Studio II Theater into BrandStar Studios at FAU. In 1993, FAU commemorated the transformational gift made by Charles E. Schmidt and the Schmidt Family Foundation in naming the college after his late wife, Dorothy F. Schmidt. A gracious patron of the arts, she devoted much of her later life to promoting FAU as a center of academic excellence and a cultural resource for the community. The arts and humanities, the foundation of all learning, grew and developed at FAU through her dedication and inspiration. “My mother would have been proud to recognize this milestone,” said Dick Schmidt, son of Dorothy and Charles Schmidt. “She dedicated a good portion of her life to the arts and in support of scholarships for hundreds of students. She knew the importance of the arts and education, and she made it her mission to make both more widely available.” Corporate honoree BrandStar recently installed state-of-the-art industry production technology that will especially enrich students studying multimedia production, broadcast journalism, short film and video, and digital production. Students in commercial music, theater, political science, as well as students outside of the college will also benefit from this advanced technology. BrandStar is a multi-faceted marketing agency based in Fort Lauderdale, specializing in technology innovation, television production, media strategy and integrated marketing. The company was founded by Mark Alfieri, founder and chief executive officer, and Doug Campbell, co-founder and chief revenue officer. Chairpersons for the CAST Party evening are Melanie Cabot, chair of the Dean’s Advisory Board, and members Maurice D. Plough and Beth K. Schwartz. CAST host committee members include Alisa Cohen, Nancy Dershaw, Silvana Halperin, Andrea J. Karsch, Bonnie and Jon Kaye, Deborah L. Kull, Jo-Ann H. Maynard and Linda Satz. Sponsors to date are the

BUSINESS FAU wins ESPN Events Invitational and other south Florida college basketball news by Pedro Heizer

In a momentous event that marked the intersection of expertise, innovation, and compassion, Raquel Costa Rangel, a Brazilian physical therapist, launched her groundbreaking book, “LCPR – Life Changing Pain Relief Protocol – The Innovating and Revolutionary Physical Therapy Protocol for Jaw Pain and Headaches,” at Preferred Physical Therapy on November 21st, 2023. The event brought together professionals from the physiotherapy field as well as doctors, dentists, healthcare professionals, and numerous guests. The opening of the book launch event for “LCPR – Life Changing Pain Relief Protocol” was conducted by Trevor Meyerowitz, CEO of Preferred Physical Therapy and an advocate for TMJ health. During the event, Raquel conducted a live demonstration showcasing her approach to treating patients with TMJ disorders. She briefly assessed an audience member who reported experiencing a TMJ issue. The audience observed the deviation of the volunteer’s jaw to the right side and witnessed Raquel performing her manual stretch on the inner mouth muscles. After addressing the individual’s concerns, Raquel revealed the new position of the jaw, now significantly better aligned than before. The audience was astonished by the transformation, marking the highlight of Raquel’s presentation during the book signing. The LCPR protocol promises pain relief and hope for those grappling with TMJ disorders and tensional headaches. Raquel’s journey to this pivotal point

has been nothing short of remarkable. Hailing from Brasília, Brazil’s capital, she crafted her skills and knowledge through an impressive academic and professional journey in Minas Gerais. With a bachelor’s degree in physical therapy in 1999, two subsequent graduate degrees specializing in Trauma – Orthopedics in 2001, and a research master’s degree in physical therapy in 2004, Raquel demonstrated an unwavering dedication to her field. Her commitment did not go unnoticed, as S. P. Resende, one of her early mentors, fondly recalled Raquel’s outstanding qualities during her formative years. “She caught my attention for being outstanding and proactive in all activities,” he remarked. Raquel’s journey continued

as she became a professor and worked at a clinic for almost 12 years, showcasing competence, leadership, and a high level of commitment. Raquel’s thirst for knowledge and commitment to scientific projects led her to become a professor of Anatomy, Kinesiology, and Physiology at four different universities in Minas Gerais. Twelve years ago, she relocated to Florida, demonstrating her relentless pursuit of excellence and determination to provide the best care to American citizens, despite arriving with limited English proficiency. Her journey in the United States involved overcoming language barriers through the completion of a second master’s degree in Biblical Studies, achieving fluency in English, and ultimately obtain-

ing licensure as a physical therapist in Florida. Now firmly established as a leading expert in the Tri-County region, Raquel specializes in the treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and tensional headaches. Her latest offering, the “Life Changing Pain Relief ” Protocol, launched on November 22nd, is a culmination of 23 years of hands-on experience, utilizing muscle chains, manual therapies, and an intricate understanding of human anatomy and kinesiology. Patient testimonials attest to the transformative impact of Raquel’s method. V.Y., a grateful patient, shared, “After 32 years of my TMJ getting progressively worse, and the last 3 months of terrible headaches, I found relief. Now my posture is better, my jaw no longer hurts, and my bite is actually being corrected! I am very grateful for Raquel!” Local professionals also recognize the effectiveness of Raquel’s approach. Dr. D.G. B., a dentist, described Raquel as a “miracle worker” and expressed that her method has been the most effective solution in treating TMJ disorders. The much-anticipated “Life Changing Pain Relief- LCPR” Protocol for jaw and headaches is now available as an e-book on Amazon, Hotmart, with additional information accessible on MyPhysioCoach. com and @myphysiocoach.usa on Instagram. As Raquel Costa Rangel continues to make waves in the field of physical therapy, her pioneering approach promises relief and transformation for those seeking relief from TMJ disorders and tensional headaches in the Tri-County region and worldwide.

SPORTS FAU wins ESPN Events Invitational Fort Lauderdale awarded USL Super League club and other south Florida college basketball news by : Kartik Krishnaiyer

Last Saturday, FAU stunningly lost a home game to little Bryant College. But the Owls bounced back in a big way winning the ESPN Events Invitational at Disney World on Sunday afternoon. In the final the Owls defeated Virginia Tech 84-50. On Friday, FAU beat Texas A&M and on Thursday the Owls had beat Butler. The Owls have been without Nick Boyd for several games while Alijah Martin wasn’t fully fit until this past week. Giancarlo Rosado has also struggled with injuries in this early season stanza. Jalen Gaffney broke out and starred this week alongside Martin, Vlad Goldin and Johnell Davis. Bryan Greenlee was benched after the Butler game but has proven to be a valuable sixth man contributing unselfish play in both the Texas A&M and Virginia Tech wins. FAU, quite frankly outside of the Bryant game looks a team that could

November 30 - December 07, 2023

win the National Championship. The Owls have both the depth and the sort of quality guard play that few schools have in the sport currently. Other South Florida schools so far: Miami is ranked in the AP Top 10 and already boasts power conference wins over UCF, Georgia and Kansas State. None of those three games were particularly competitive, with Miami running away from the opposition before halftime. But tough tests this week are coming up for the Canes as they travel to Rupp Arena tonight to face Kentucky and play Notre Dame on Saturday. They also play a good Colorado team next week. A case can be made that Miami has “overscheduled” early in the campaign, but after the Colorado game, they have a relatively light Holiday season. Miami is the defending ACC Regular Season Champion. FIU is 1-6. The Golden Panthers have shown signs of life but just haven’t gotten over the hump.

The USL Super League, a women’s league that will launch play in August 2024, this week announced the awarding of a new Super League franchise to Fort Lauderdale. Super League Fort Lauderdale is founded by Tommy Smith. The club has plans for a modernized stadium and on-site training facilities in partnership with Nova Southeastern University, at the former practice facility of the NFL’s Miami Dolphins. More details will be announced in the coming months. “We are thrilled to announce the launch of the first professional women’s soccer team in South Florida, marking a historic milestone for our community,” Super League Fort Lauderdale owner, Tommy Smith said. “Our mission is to deliver the highest standard of play by recruiting world class global talent while also empowering young women in South Florida. Super League Fort Lauderdale aims to create a direct pathway to Division 1 professional soccer, offering local players the opportunity to shine on the national stage and providing a platform for growth beyond the game.”

www.bocaratontribune.com

“South Florida is ready for professional women’s soccer,” USL Super League President Amanda Vandervort said. “Fort Lauderdale is a great addition to an already strong contingent of Super League markets, and we’re looking forward to kicking off next fall.” Set to kick off in August 2024, the USL Super League intends to launch as a US Soccer-sanctioned first division league, reflecting its commitment to the highest standards in American soccer and a collective vision to be a global leader in women’s soccer on and off the field. Fort Lauderdale will join the previously announced markets for the inaugural Super League season: Charlotte, Dallas/ Fort Worth, Lexington, Phoenix, Spokane, Tampa Bay, Tucson, and Washington, D.C. Also announced in May were Chattanooga, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Madison and Oakland – all of which will compete in subsequent seasons pending completion of stadium projects. Super League Fort Lauderdale will now begin the branding process to identify a brand that the community can rally around. The club plans to unveil its official name, colors and crest in the coming months.
