Delray Beach Wins State Award for Federal Highway Beautification Project

When city leaders embarked on a multimillion-dollar beautification project along Federal Highway 12 years ago, their goal was to create an inviting atmosphere to emulate the charm of Atlantic Avenue.

Since then, locals are pleased. And this week city officials learned that the Florida Redevelopment Association has recognized the project as an outstanding redevelopment achievement in the Transportation/Transit Enhancements Category.

The project narrowed a two-mile stretch of Federal Highway between Southwest 10th Street and George Bush Boulevard.

Delray Beach Wins State Award for Federal Highway Beautification Project

When city leaders embarked on a multimillion-dollar beautification project along Federal Highway 12 years ago, their goal was to create an inviting atmosphere to emulate the charm of Atlantic Avenue.

Since then, locals are pleased. And this week city officials learned that the Florida Redevelopment Association has recognized the project as an outstanding redevelopment achievement in the Transportation/Transit Enhancements Category.

The project narrowed a two-mile stretch of Federal Highway between Southwest 10th Street and George Bush Boulevard.

“The former Delray US-1/Federal Highway corridors, in stark contrast with other downtown streets, had narrow sidewalks and minimal landscaping, which promoted high speeds, leading to triple the statewide crash rate within the main commercial core,” according to a news release from the CRA.

Through the US-1/Federal Highway Beautification Project, the Delray CRA was able to reconfigure the existing roadway to reduce one travel lane in each direction to accommodate on-street parking, a bike lane, and wider landscaped sidewalks, the release continued.

The FRA presents awards annually to projects that exhibit best practices in Florida redevelopment over the past year.

City officials conceived the plans for the Federal Highway strip during the city's overall downtown visioning process in 2004.

They envisioned a strip where pedestrians would stroll safely on the

www.bocaratontribune.com

sidewalks and cars would drive the posted 35 mph limit.

The city installed temporary traffic control devices in 2008 to test the proposed design. The results of the one year trial period indicated that the elimination of one travel lane reduced average speeds along the corridor by about six miles per hour, average crash rates by 50 percent and a 75 percent crash rate reduction at the intersections of Atlantic Avenue and the Federal Highway, officials said.

The project created a safer pedestrian environment, which enhanced retail opportunities, created additional parking in the downtown, and continues to create a sense of place within the US-1 corridor.

The project was funded through five sources: FDOT, which contributed $5 million, the Federal government, which contributed $2.189 million, the City, which pitched in $2,957, the CRA, which contributed $3,614 and the developer who contributed $178,734.

The FRA awards committee carefully selected the winners from a pool of entries from various redevelopment organizations throughout the state, according to the release. All of the entries embody the spirit of successful community redevelopment and revitalization.

The 300-member not-for-profit organization is dedicated to assisting Florida professionals and volunteers in community revitalization efforts. FRA advocates for quality urban economic development and urban infill and serves as a statewide clearinghouse for redevelopment information, the release said.

Do not be too Complacent, Heed Hurricane Warnings

Once again, we here in Palm Beach County have been spared the full wrath of another hurricane when Matthew, one of the largest and most threatening hurricane systems this region has experienced in a blue moon, skirted us.

If I were a gambler, I would have lost royally as I was sure it was going to slam us directly– at least according to all the reports.

I must mention that this is the first time since Wilma in 2005 that I did some preparation for a hurricane.

While I have always respected the authorities’ directives to be prepared, I was never one to hop on that panic buying bandwagon, when there is news that a hurricane is bearing down on the Florida coast. It has become such a time-honored Floridian tradition, to rush over to Home Depot, the local supermarket or even the gas station at the last moment to stock up on food and other emergency items.

After seeing that map on the

news, I said this was not the time for bravado. I took the opportunity, while the skies were still clear and the seas still calm, to do my own “panic stock up” then headed out to help some friends to board up and put their shutters up.

Once again, I did not follow my gut, and again, I was wrong.

Regardless, whether it was luck, prayers, or divine intervention, I am thankful it did not make landfall anywhere near us. Unfortunately, our neighbors to the north were not as fortunate. It also walloped the Caribbean, hitting communities with torrential rains, powerful winds and substantial storm surges.

I shudder when I think of how many lives would have been lost if it had been a direct hit. There were so many – a few friends included – who did not board up their windows nor evacuate to safer grounds.

As one quipped, “That’s why I pay insurance, for times like this.” Another said she has been in South Florida

17 years now and every year we keep “talking about it coming, if this is the year, I want to see what it is like.”

To hear responsible people, educated adults and yes parents say this is not only absurd but criminal. I wondered what might have happened to their homes, including one that is on the barrier island, after Matthew’s unwelcome visit.

The devastation wrought in the northern end of the state has been heart-crushing. And just Tuesday, I heard from a friend that they found her uncle’s body under his house in North Carolina. How sad.

Notwithstanding this, Palm Beach County must be thankful that we did not suffer a direct hit. Even though we were spared, municipalities and the county were affected because of lost man-hours and some fallout in tourism from people either cancelling their visit to the area or cutting their trips short.

Flooding in several communities once again demonstrated the poor state of

our drainage systems and how inept we are as a city in doing the small things that can keep communities safe.

Kudos to Palm Beach County administrator Verdenia Baker, the consummate leader who assured residents during her briefing on CNN that while we were bracing for a big one, her crew was prepared to handle it. It was also impressive and several residents found it so comforting to hear from their city officials either on the local or national news. I hope the leaders in more municipalities will be more assertive during future disasters and keep their residents informed. This is not the time to be hunkered down at home. As an elected official, you need to be in a command center or another safe place where your constituents can hear from you directly.

As one reader told me, “It’s fine to hear from the reporter about the storm that’s coming, but I want to hear from my mayor about what they city is doing to protect me and make sure the roads are clear and safe.”

POSITIVE LIVING

Eliminate the Unnecessary!

Confusion reigns around the globe in many forms, already for quite some time since the human race decided to follow its own devices, instead of recognizing the divine regulations for their varied affairs. Without the directives which they could enjoy, humans react to the manifold changes that occur, never knowing for certain whether they will be for good or for ill, until they actually happen. Even then, many remain confused, not sufficiently persuaded of what their course of action should be!

Opinions vary according to cultures, religions, political ideologies, and the human capability to interpret

what they see around them is also most diverse, on account of what they rejected, and the uncertain foundations upon which they chose to build their reality, and operate in the world, further promoting a complete lack of certainty about basic life factors!

Although change has been a consistent occurrence on earth from ages immemorial, (as it will continue to be) its occurrence profoundly affects every area and manner of living. Furthermore, these are also matters that are fully established in all cultures, in every climate, and among peoples of all colors, shapes, and languages, even though the rate of change, and its unique

nature will vary from place to place, and on account of manifold factors!

Yet, the feebleness of human nature, the immense ignorance of countless rational earth dwellers, besides the contrary disposition of individuals or peoples, even in the face of what’s real, still much confusion remains, and many persons prefer to act according to their own impulses and preferences, rather than to what is conventionally accepted as the way one should go, in a variety of life situations!

The entire globe can be enriched through more interaction among the peoples of earth, especially now that it has become more possible than

ever before, on account of rapid and varied ways of travel and of communication, beside devices which considerably accelerate rapid, effective, and illuminating human interactions, not to mention the faster ways of traveling around the earth.

Without the imposition of life-styles, religions, and cultural habits unique to certain peoples, human interaction among citizens of different nations can contribute to better understanding among all human dwellers, as they jointly advance through new routes to mutual cooperation and peace!

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.

 Florida is raising its minimum wage to $8.10 an hour beginning Jan. 1, up 5 cents from $8.05 in 2016, the state Department of Economic Opportunity has announced. For tipped employees, the minimum wage will be at least $5.08 an hour.

The minimum wage rate is recalculated each year on Sept. 30, based on the Consumer Price Index. In 2016, the state's minimum wage was unchanged from the previous year. Many employers say they already pay more than the minimum.  If an airline delays returning your luggage after a flight, you will get a refund for your bag fee, under a new set of consumer-protection rules the Obama administration plans to adopt. Among other changes, the administration is calling on airlines to more accurately report on-time arrival rates, the number of times wheelchair requests are fumbled and the rate of lost or mishandled luggage.

Indispensable, Like A Cellphone?

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

Today, however, leaving home or work without a cellphone sometimes seems as if we forgot to put on an essential item of clothing. We almost feel naked.

I have a friend who in the 1980s became a highly successful sales executive for what was then known as Cellular One. In those days users practically needed to be bodybuilders to heft the briefcase-sized communications devices, but he sold them just the same. Now they easily fit into a pocket or purse.

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

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

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

– What if we turned back to get it if

we forgot it at work, or at home?

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

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

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

– What if we relied on it whenever we traveled?

– What if we used in case of emergency?

The Bible is not a religious book; it is a manual for everyday life and work. God has given it to guide us through opportunities, decisions and challenges of every day. Here are some examples of its value: A source of wisdom. Among the Bible’s many values needed for success and leadership skill, none is more important than wisdom: “for attaining wisdom and discipline, for understanding words and insight; for acquiring a disciplined and prudent life, doing what is right and just and fair” (Proverbs 1:2-3).

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

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

Then you will be prosperous and successful” (Joshua 1:8).

A View From The City Council

Op-Ed

By Taniel Shant

By Robert Weinroth

I’m Voting NO on the City of Boca Raton Question

During our most recent meeting of the City’s Community Redevelopment Agency (on which the Mayor and Council Members serve as Commissioners) Downtown Manager, Ruby Childers, announced we had been awarded one of the 2016 Florida Redevelopment Awards for the promotional campaign that has helped to brand our downtown, driving visitation and in turn, spurring economic vitality in our city.

It is against this backdrop of a continuing line of awards and recognitions for our community that I often wonder if critics of the direction our city is heading live in a parallel universe.

The current debate over the citizen’s initiative to approve the City of Boca Raton question (appearing at the end of a four-page ballot), reinforces the disconnect between fact and fiction.

Advocates for the approval of the question, (recognizing the language drafted by their land use attorney overreaches severely restricts the use of any city-owned land on the Intracoastal Waterway), continue to press for a YES vote by making the case for what they say the language means rather than its plain meaning.

Notwithstanding the representations made to obtain the necessary resident signatures on their petition to place the question on the ballot, the overriding reason for the initiative is to block the city from negotiating a lease with the Hillstone Restaurant Group (or any other purveyor of food) to create a waterside venue on the city-owned “Wildflower” site.

Boca Watch publisher, Al Zucaro, has opines, the question, “does not limit the opportunity for multi-use activities on City-owned land adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway.”

He goes on to state, “a number of those individuals that favor a restaurant only, have falsely claimed that the issue of Ordinance 5356 is simply; a park versus a restaurant, “ to which he opines, “Simple, but false.”

So, what is the truth and what is not?

The following is the actual language of the initiative question as it appears on the ballot:

“Amendment to City Ordinance . . . requiring that all city-owned land adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway shall only be used for public recreation, public boating access, public streets, and city

storm water uses only.”

Mr. Zucaro, states the clear language of the question, “does not limit the opportunity for multi-use activities on City-owned land adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway.”

I beg to differ with Mr. Zucaro’s legal opinion.

An affirmative vote will not only preclude the city from leasing the property to Hillstone but will also block any other use that does not conform to the four listed permitted uses (1) public recreation, (2) public boating access, (3) public streets, and (4) city storm water uses and that goes for all city-owned parcels on the waterway (e.g. Gumbo Limbo Nature Center).

With this crystal-clear language, any attempt by the City Council to interpret the words as allowing additional uses (e.g. retail, canoe rentals, a “small footprint culinary experience,” installation of a restroom, etc) would never pass muster when, inevitably, reviewed by a judge or jury.

So when Mr. Zucaro writes, “Open Your Mind to the Possibilities. A small footprint, culinary experience on a waterfront park setting is achievable, alongside interactive public art, walking paths, and recreation. It requires vision, imagination, and the will to aspire to something better,” I am left wondering if, as a member in good standing of The Florida Bar, he truly believes what he has penned.

While his legal opinion sounds seductively reasonable, the reality is if the ordinance becomes law it will be the foundation of its proponents’ legal challenge to any use not fitting squarely within the uses enumerated between the words only.

Only means only.

In the final analysis, a “community-driven conversation,” recently hosted by Council Member Singer, where, he reported, “96 participants at 12 tables brainstormed nearly 100 ideas on different activities for these sites [the “Wildflower” parcel and Silver Palm Park], including recreation, entertainment, dining, retail, fitness, and many more possibilities,” was either an exercise in futility or the best case for demonstrating why the Boca Raton question must not be approved by the voters.

Vote NO on the City of Boca Raton question, appearing as the last item on the ballot.

Council Member Robert S Weinroth was first elected to the Boca Raton City Council in March 2014. He was re-elected to a full three-year term, without opposition, in March 2015. He is also a city representative on the Palm Beach Metropolitan Planning organization (MPo) where Mayor Susan Haynie is currently Chair. Mr. Weinroth was appointed to the Palm Tran Service Board and has served as an appointed member of the Boca Raton Airport Authority. Council Member Weinroth is married to Pamela with four boys and two dogs in their blended family.

Stewardship

The term “stewardship” is defined as an ethic that embodies the responsible planning and management of resources. To be a good steward, one must have the principles and ethics that enables him or her to be responsible for someone or something, and to be a good manager in carrying out those duties.

In politics, the concept of stewardship seems to be lost on citizens, the majority of whom think of politicians as egotistical and ambitious opportunists who are only out to enrich themselves. One needs only to look at the dismal approval rating of Members of Congress to see evidence of Americans’ distrust in government. In other words, most people don’t believe, rightly so, that their government is a responsible steward of their way of life.

This is an important concept because, to me, to be a good public servant is to be a good steward, particularly when it comes to the fiscal management of our government’s resources. One large example of our county government’s lack of stewardship is this disastrous proposal to raise our sales tax by 17%.

Falsely marketed as a “penny tax,” local officials have embarked on a marketing campaign to positively change public opinion on this issue. If people were told the truth, that it is a 17% tax hike, voters would reject it outright.

Officials say that there are only three ways to pay for the infrastructure and education needs in Palm Beach County: 1) raise the sales tax; 2) raise the property tax; or 3) issue a bond. This shortsighted thinking is what is wrong with politics today. There is always another way, and that is to find the money in our $4.3 Billion dollar county budget.

Whereas raising taxes is a first resort to many, it is a last resort for me. A responsible steward would first seek to find waste, fraud, and abuse to ensure our government is run efficiently and responsibly before shifting the burden on the

people.

For example, a recent audit of the Palm Beach County School District found that it paid 3x more for a new school bus routing software than any other county in the state, while at the same time cutting safety and maintenance inspections of the vehicles and drivers that transport our children. The same audit also found over $500,000 in missing fuel. Imagine how much more waste exists, particularly in those departments that refuse an audit.

There is another question that should be asked: How much is the public relations blitz costing taxpayers? According to my sources, it is somewhere in the $120,000 to $150,000 range. So now we have our local government using taxpayer dollars for a marketing campaign, falsely labeled “one county, one penny,” with beautiful glossy handouts, a state-of-theart website, yard signs, and three video advertisements being marketed in order to get you to give them more of your hard earned money. Thomas Jefferson once said, “To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.”

Commissioner Mary Lou Berger showcased poor stewardship when she voted in favor of the 17% sales tax increase. This tax is regressive and it hurts the most vulnerable communities in our society, namely the poor, hard working middle-class Americans, and seniors.

Ghandi once said, “to serve is to lead.” A good steward is a good servant and thus a good leader. It is my hope that in this election the people in Palm Beach County ask themselves, “Who do I trust to be a good steward over my life and my tax dollars?” With that in mind, you should vote for the person with the ethic that embodies the responsible planning and management of resources. After all, that’s what stewardship is all about.

Taniel Shant is a Boca Raton native and candidate for Palm Beach County Commission. He is challenging District 5 County Commissioner Mary Lou Berger. Shant holds a B.A. from Florida Atlantic University and M.P.S. from The George Washington University.

keeping you healthy

By: Dr. Veronica Versari

Breast cancer is the most common non-skin cancer and the second deadliest cancer in women. It is estimated that 234,580 US women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer and 40,030 will die from the disease in 2013. For this reason, breast cancer screening has received more attention and recommendations in order to determine who should be screened and what method to use.

RISK FACTORS: AGE, GENETICS, ESTROGEN EXPOSURE, AND BREAST DENSITY.

The Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool (BCRAT) is a tool used to calculate the breast cancer risk and determine the optimal screening strategy and stratification into risk categories. www.cancer.gov/bcrisktool.

Imagine Studies

These imaging studies identify patients that have abnormal or suspicious findings. This is not a cancer diagnosis and still requires further evaluation either by a biopsy of the tissue or follow-up further imaging at a designated interval.

1. Mammogram is the main screening modality. Digital mammogram is more accurate for pre-menopausal and peri-menopausal women and for dense breasts as compared to traditional film. It detects more cancers on women younger than 50 years but it is also susceptible to more false-positive findings in this age group.

2. Ultrasonography is used as a diagnostic follow-up of an abnormality seen on mammogram.

3. MRI: Magnetic Resonance Imaging is used in combination with mammograms in high-risk patients. It is recommended by the American Cancer Society (ACS) in women at high risk of breast cancer.

4. Tomosynthesis: “3D mammography” is a modified digital mammogram. It is approved in combination with conventional mammograms. This technique is promising for women with dense breast tissue and high breast cancer risk, but exposes to more radiation.

When to do Routine Screening Mammography

It should be offered to women ages 50 to 69. Consensus is not as strong for women ages 40-49 and over age of 70.

There are issues regarding screening due to utilization, especially in those of lower socioeconomic groups and the uninsured.

It is suggested to screen with mammograms as long as a woman has a life expectancy of at least 10 years.

Frequency of Mammography

Data is limited on the optimal time intervals. Breast cancer on average grows more slowly in older than younger women. Longer intervals may be reasonable

on women older than 50 years and annual screening in younger women at higher risk.

Breast Examination 1. Clinical Breast Examination (CBE): a reasonable cost effective strategy for screening and improves early detection of breast cancer. It is more useful in older women due to increase in fat tissue replacing the glandular one.

2. Breast Self-Examination: has not been demonstrated to improve rates of breast cancer diagnosis, or breast cancer death. Studies have shown increased rates of breast biopsy of benign disease among women taught self-breast examination.

Family History of Breast Cancer

For women who have a firstdegree relative with history of breast cancer it has been suggested to do screening mammograms at an earlier age especially if the relative had pre-menopausal breast cancer. The ACS recommends a combination of MRI and mammography in women at high risk of breast cancer. Women who test positive for BRCA1 or BRCA2 need more intensive screening strategies. These are inherited germline mutations in the two commonly associated genes, which are at increased risk of both breast and ovarian cancer. These women should receive genetic counseling and get the combination of MRI and mammogram annually.

In Summary If the lifetime risk of breast cancer is below 15%: • Ages 40-50: Discuss risks and benefits and determine individual patient risk • Ages 50-70: Screen Mammogram • Over age 70: Screen Mammogram if their life expectancy is at least 10 years • Screen every one to two years • Perform clinical breast examination in women getting breast cancer screening, particularly in older women.

• Self-breast exam should only be performed in conjunction with mammogram and clinical breast exam and not be a substitute for either one.

Food For The Soul – Highwaymen Art Exhibit At Fau

South Florida was never known as a Mecca for the cultural arts. But in the 50’s and 60’s there was a prolific group of artists creating lush landscape paintings of Florida in its most natural state.

Known as Florida Highwaymen, these artists were African Americans who escaped poverty (and the drudgery of laboring in the citrus groves) by painting what they knew best – The Florida landscape.

When they first started painting, the 25 men (and one woman) sold their paintings on the side of the road for as little as $10. But things are different today - Highwaymen art is in big demand and the art form - and the artists are part hero part Florida folklore.

That’s why FAU recently held a regal reception and gallery talk at their Ritter Art Gallery. It was so calm, cool and collected it had a Hampton’s vibe to it.

Highwaymen artist James Gibson was there as well as Highwaymen artist Alfred Hair’s widow (and painter) Doretha Hair Truesdell.

After a balmy evening outdoor reception – that heralded finger food and wine – the group went inside the gallery to view the art and hear about its historical reference. “Life in Florida is like a film being projected at double speed. You have to stretch your memory to see the change. But the nostalgia serves a good purpose, it gives you a moment to readjust your emotion,” said FAU humanities scholar Dr. Evan Bennett.

Bennett said we play the “Do you remember Game” in South Florida because it allows us to make sense of the tremendous change in our midst. Though he did say that it is a jarring change (no kidding – the parking alone), he also said viewing these paintings of mid-century Florida landscape connects us to a time of purity and simplicity.

If the lifetime risk of breast cancer is 20-25% or higher: High Risk Patients • Refer for genetic counseling to determine if they have a BRCA mutation and decide management options.

• If women under this risk strategy chose intensified surveillances, check annual mammography and breast MRI as well as clinical breast examination every 3 to 6 months and do monthly self breast exams.

• It is suggested to begin screening at age 25 for these women.

For those of us who lived in Boca Raton when FAU consisted of a few tennis courts, baron land and effortless parking, the event was reminiscent of the good old days. The paintings were also a reminder of South Florida’s innocence with mystical moonlit nights, swaying palm trees, lustful sunsets and ominous rain clouds. And, the crowd seemed more cerebral than those at Blue Martini.

Highwayman artist James Gibson meandered around unnoticed and Doretha Hair Truesdell was there as well. Hair Truesdell talks about how the artists made frames from discarded door and window moldings and how they painted on upson board (recycled wood) because it was cheaper than canvas.

The exhibition - called “A.E. Backus and Florida’s Highwaymen: History, Commerce and Art” – was also dedicated to artist Backus, who was a palette pleaser of South Florida’s natural beauty. Backus was also a mentor and art teacher for many Highwaymen artists.

We were reminded that the 50’s and 60’s was a time of racial inequality for black people in South Florida. Yet being an artist in those days was an escape from the drudgery that often plagued them in the South.

Perhaps that’s why the paintings from these brave men (and women) were full of color and illumination – artistic reality and ethereal emotion. The paintings sold well on the road back then – albeit for about $25 – but are now coveted as artistic prose of Florida’s pastoral history.

If you missed the opening, don’t despair, it goes until Nov. 19 at the Ritter Art Gallery on the FAU Boca campus.

There will also be a host of panel discussions about the Highwaymen art, artists and culture until November. Call 561- 297-2661 or go to www.fau.edu/galleries.

Palm Beach County Public Schools Named ‘Florida Healthy School District’

The Palm Beach County Public School District was today awarded the title of “Florida Healthy School District” by Florida’s Coordinated School Health Partnership, the Florida Association of District School Superintendents, Florida Action for Healthy Kids and the Florida Healthy Kids Corporation. Wendy Link, Chair of the Board of Directors for Florida Healthy Kids, Joe Davis, Chief Marketing Officer of Florida Healthy Kids and Eric Stern, Florida Coordinated School Health Partnership member, presented the award at the school district meeting in West Palm Beach.

The distinction for the 2016-2018 school years recognizes school districts for their efforts in areas of student health, including sustainable infrastructure, policy, programs and practices identified from national and state guidelines, best practices and Florida statutes. Palm Beach County, which received a Gold level award, is one of 43 total districts in the state to be recognized this year.

Through implementation of the Coordinated School Health approach (CSH), the Palm Beach County Public Schools district demonstrated a high level of commitment toward meeting the health needs of students and staff by maximizing district resources and supporting academic achievement.

“We are honored to have earned this distinction for our efforts supporting healthy lifestyles,” said Palm Beach County superintendent Robert Avossa. “We continue to encourage students, families, teachers, administrators and staff to be a part of

this ongoing effort so that we can show the rest of the state what can happen when a community comes together with a common goal.”

The award is based on criteria from the Florida Healthy School District Self-Assessment tool, which was developed by the Florida Coordinated School Health Partnership to recognize and celebrate the hard work and success of school districts related to physical, mental and social health of students and staff. Palm Beach County scored commendably in many areas, including District Infrastructure, Health Education, Nutrition Services and Education, Healthy School Environment and Employee Wellness.

“I congratulate Superintendent Avossa and the Palm Beach County team for their hard work building a healthy district for our state’s future leaders,” Wendy Link said. “Research continues to support that healthy students are more engaged and ready to learn.”

The Florida Coordinated School Health Partnership, Florida Action for Healthy Kids, Florida Association of District School Superintendents and the Florida Healthy Kids Corporation together award these designations for a two-year period. Districts are encouraged to complete the comprehensive assessment as a key continuous improvement strategy and align these wellness measures to their strategic plan as well as school improvement goals.

The application period opens each January and closes in April.

The Florida Atlantic University Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) racing team won first place in the 3rd Annual Formula SAE Match Race at the Lamar County Speedway in Barnesville, Georgia. The event was sponsored by the Georgia Sprint Karting Association.

The FAU team entered the 2016 racecar, OR-16. The OR-16 reached a best time of 23.318 seconds, making them the fastest car at the competition and the fastest four-cylinder car.

"Once again Owls Racing has proven its dominance over big name schools," said Marco Cheraso, FAU SAE team president. "We continue to learn from our previous design which helps make the new car faster than ever."

From the 32-person team, 14 members attended the competition while the remaining team members worked on the design of the OR-17 and the OR-15 which will be used for new member training.

"It was a good demonstration of last year's design concepts which will help the team with OR-17's design," said Halle Mayne, FAU SAE vice president.

The team members that attended the Barnesville race were made up of all mechanical engineering students with the exceptions of Nate Cadet, an exercise science major; Blake Lewend, a history major; Mayne, a criminal justice

major; Michael Simpson, an electrical engineering major and included Mathew Burgos, Cheraso, Bradford Davis, Dylan Kovar, Trent Ksionek, Obrien Lavin, Josh Mesnick, Alexis Ruiz, Steven Stanfield and Thomas Strickland. The team was also aided by team advisor, Oren Masory, Ph.D., professor of mechanical engineering at FAU, and FAU machinist, Fred Knapp. The team members that did not attend the race include mechanical engineering students Jeron Bornstein, Chris Branfield, Seth Chapman, Alex Conrad, Steve Gaillot, Kendrick Gauthier, Reed Goodman, Austin Licata, Jason Lin, Raymond Mathis, Jason Reyes, Ejay Valcin, Max Wellnitz; electrical engineering student, Stephen Lyons; neuroscience and behavior student Megan Caudle; pre-business student, Lunick Dorcelus; anthropology student, Melanie Maldonado; and mechanical and finance student, Richard Nelson.

The goal of the event is to help promote and advance an interest in engineering programs and to create a new venue for teams to compete at. Although the event was open to eight teams only five participated. The teams raced on a ¼ mile long course that averaged 20 feet in width and utilizes AMB timing equipment. The race consisted of a timed event of eight laps per car from a flying start, with the best of the eight laps qualifying for scoring.

BOCA RATON, FL -- Boca Raton Football Club is proud to announce a new partnership with Barcelona Elite as Boca Raton FC will open their own soccer school powered by Barcelona Elite, named BE Boca Raton FC™ school .

After years in Europe, Barcelona Elite got its start in 2015 in Denver, Colorado with the opening of its first US school, thanks to the huge success due to its innovative methodology in the country.

"The partnership between Boca Raton FC and Barcelona Elite solidifies the work Boca Raton FC is doing in the community as a club in which your child will begin at youth level and work all the way to the professional level," said Boca Raton FC President Douglas Heizer. "We at Boca Raton FC want to change the old methodology in which kids play in recreational leagues, play in high school and then play in college, where a very low number actually makes the jump to the pros."

Boca Raton FC and Barcelona Elite will look to change the soccer structure in the United States in which they will offer a high-level soccer school that will teach children the fundamentals of the sport and will open doors as BE Boca Raton FC™ teams will compete in high-level tournaments around not only the United States but Internationally.

“The name Barcelona is internationally known in the soccer world for their championship ways,” added Heizer.

“We are bringing Barcelona to Boca Ra-

ton.”

In addition to providing international experience, Barcelona Elite will incorporate a Technical Director who has been developed in Barcelona, and had extensive experience among first-class clubs at the European level such as FC Barcelona and RCD Espanyol of Barcelona, to the BE Boca Raton FC™ schools.

The technical director will train the local coaches with the same methodology that is used in Barcelona and, in turn, lead the entire global operation thereof of each school. Barcelona Elite will educate local coaches and supervise the trainings to ensure the proper functioning of all aspects of the academy.

“We decided to partner with Boca Raton because of the great opportunities an Established local Club can bring to the growth of the program.” said Barcelona Elite Managing Partner Jordi Blanco Moreno. “For us, soccer is the main focus. Having a good level of training for young players to grow is key to soccer success and for that a great deal of seriousness is required. Together with the seriousness that we found from the outset with good synergies developments since the start of preliminary talks Boca Raton, it made us understand that a partnership with the club was the best choice for our first school in Florida.”

BE Boca Raton FC will soon announce dates in which parents will be able to register their kids and be able to come to a introductory meeting.

Thank you Representative Ted Deutch for Supporting Home Healthcare for Florida Seniors

Nearly 350,000 seniors and Americans with disabilities across Florida depend on high-quality, cost-effective skilled home health for post-acute, rehabilitative and chronic care services. Despite the value of home health, recent policies have put access to this essential health sector at risk.

The Partnership thanks Representative Ted Deutch for leading efforts in Congress to ensure seniors and individuals with disabilities are able to receive care in the comfort of their own homes, where they can remain independent and be close to loved ones.

We applaud Representative Deutch for recognizing the clinical value of home health and the key role it can plan in achieving savings, improving our nation’s healthcare system, and securing Medicare for the future.

Thank you, Representative Deutch, for supporting Medicare beneficiaries’ access to skilled home healthcare services!
