City Officials Confident Mizner Park Amphitheater Will Stay By: Michael Demyan If Related Group had it their way, Boca Raton would be saying goodbye to the Mizner Park Amphitheater, however a deal does not seem likely. An outside consultant, Song and Associates, had been drawing up plans to figure out viable options for redesigning the city government campus. One of the possibilities that has been discussed is an indoor performing arts center, which Mayor Susan Haynie is a strong proponent of.

Community FAU Unveils New Medical Simulation Center Florida Atlantic University’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine recently hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony to commemorate the official launch of its newly expanded, 15,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art Clinical Skills Simulation Center in the Research Park at FAU in Boca Raton. Community leaders, donors and FAU officials gathered for a special unveiling of the center, which provides sophisticated simulation and trainer technologies to educate medical students, medical residents, nurses and first responders. The advanced technology utilized throughout the center improves their clinical skills, enhances critical thinking, and enables them to become more self-assured in their skills while under the supervision of trained instructors. “We are able to celebrate the launch of this new Clinical Skills Simulation Center because of the generous support we have received from the Quantum Foundation, Palm Healthcare Foundation and our Florida legislature,” said Phillip Boiselle, M.D., dean of FAU’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine. “This expanded center will allow us to increase the reach of our high-tech, hightouch training to continue to improve health care for so many people in our surrounding communities.” Jeff Atwater, FAU’s vice president for strategic initiatives and CFO, also participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony. FAU’s first simulation center was launched in 2006 through a grant from the Quantum Foundation and support from the State of Florida Legislature. Atwater was instrumental in the launch of the first center and attended the first ribbon-cutting ceremony while he was a state senator. A recent $300,000 grant from the Quantum Foundation has enabled the expansion of this newest center, as well as the dedication of the “Quantum Foundation Technical Training Room.” FAU’s Clinical Skills Simulation Center and its second center, the Mollie Wilmot Pavilion in West Palm Beach,
also has been funded by the Palm Healthcare Foundation. Simulation exercises use high fidelity human-like mannequins that can simulate virtually any type of medical emergency. Simulation of various medical scenarios ensures that medical professionals can practice their skills hands-on in an environment that promotes problem-solving, critical thinking, and clinical skills integration. FAU medical students also practice their clinical skills and hone in on their bedside manner while working with “standardized patients,” who are actors posing as patients. Working with standardized patients enables them to self-reflect and improve their humanistic and empathetic approach to patients. The educational clinical scenarios greatly enhance the students’ communication skills and confidence before working with real patients. “The Clinical Skills Simulation Center is the epitome of hands-on learning that our medical students as well as medical residents crave, and where they can apply real-world scenarios to what they are learning in school and out in the field,” said Sarah K. Wood, M.D., senior associate dean for medical education in FAU’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine. “Standardized patients and these cutting-edge mannequins provide the ideal environment for them to learn the art of compassionate care and the critical skills required to react and respond to their patients’ needs.” Since its inception, FAU’s simulation center has trained more than 3,000 practicing nurses, hundreds of medical residents, hundreds of medical students and has addressed the training needs for adult living and skilled nursing facilities. The center will continue to train all four years of FAU’s medical students. FAU’s medical school also is planning to provide inter-professional communication training as well as medical resident training to further expand collaborative clinical experiences for its participants.

Amidst Rumors, City Officials Confident Mizner Park Amphitheater Will Stay
By: Michael Demyan If Related Group had it their way, Boca Raton would be saying goodbye to the Mizner Park Amphitheater, however a deal does not seem likely. An outside consultant, Song and Associates, had been drawing up plans to figure out viable options for redesigning the city government campus. One of the possibilities that has been discussed is an indoor performing arts center, which Mayor Susan Haynie is a strong proponent of. Related Group, meanwhile, would like to replace Boca Raton’s current outdoor venue with over 300 apartments, along with restaurants and a parking garage, through a public-private partnership. The site would include a 3.6-acre section of Mizner Park, while 1.8 acres of that currently sits where the amphitheater is standing. A nearby empty lot would be included in the deal as well. It would be the first project in Boca Raton for the Miami-based company, which was established in 1979. They have built, rehabilitated and managed over 90,000 condos and apartments throughout South Florida. Tearing down the amphitheater would not have come without compensation, however. In exchange for the land, the luxury condo developer would give the city the indoor performing arts center, which would be located near city hall. The new venue would seat over 1,500 people and include a parking garage. While some may enjoy the air conditioning during the hot days and nights of summer, some residents would miss the tradition of being out under the sun and the stars. The discussions have sparked enough interest in residents that a Facebook page called “Save Our Amphitheater Please” has surpassed over 600 followers and many are voicing their opinions.
www.bocaratontribune.com
“The sardine can is full and let’s enjoy what we’ve got. The amphitheater was the best thing that ever happened to Mizner Park, in my opinion,” Boca Raton resident Laurie Shafer wrote. City Councilwoman Andrea O’Rourke, however, stressed that the possible removal of the amphitheater is a “non-issue.” “The officials discussed this at a public meeting and no one was in favor. End of conversation,” she said. City Councilman Robert Weinroth believes that having the indoor performing arts center would benefit the city, but he also feels that it would be best if Boca keeps the amphitheater as well. “We need an outdoor venue and we need an indoor venue, because an indoor venue is very expensive to operate if you’re going to try and use it for free events,” he said. While having the indoor venue could potentially attract acts that would otherwise not perform outdoors, it may not be the best place for some of Mizner Park Amphitheater’s typical outdoor events, which it has been hosting since 2002, such as Friday lunches where people can sit on the lawn and enjoy some food provided by local food trucks. The impact on those events is one of the reasons Councilman Scott Singer is also against the deal with Related Group. “Trading this spot for a fancier, 1,500-seat venue would eliminate many of our free events, like our successful Summer Series and decrease the number and variety of cultural offerings at Mizner Park,” he said. He went on to explain that Related Group’s proposal could also cause traffic and parking concerns, as well as the overall use of Mizner Park. “In short, thanks to the offerer, but no thanks to this proposal,” he said.

Council, Scott pushed forward common-sense proposals: ● Long-term infrastructure planning ● Preservation and enhancement of green space ● Increasing transparency and ethics standards ● Expanding economic development efforts ● Reducing red tape for small businesses “My priority on the City Council has always been to listen and respond to the needs of the residents,” said Scott Singer. “That’s why I’m proud to have spoken directly with thousands of residents through my regular series of inperson and telephone town hall meetings. I look forward to having an opportunity to continue these conversations as Boca’s next Mayor.” Council Member Singer serves on the State Attorney’s Sober Homes Task Force, the Palm Beach County Independent School Surtax Oversight Committee, and the Land Use and Economic Development Legislative Policy Committee of the Florida League of Cities. Singer has served on a variety of other governmental, non-profit, and volunteer boards.
Florida Atlantic University’s A.D. Henderson University School, FAU High School and Palm Pointe Educational Research School at Tradition have been named Schools of Excellence by the Florida Department of Education. The Schools of Excellence Program was established by the Florida Legislature in 2017 to provide flexibility to the state’s top schools. To earn the designation, a school had to be in the 80th percentile or higher in points for school grade calculation for two of the last three years. The school also had to earn an A or B grade during each of the previous three school years. “It is a great honor to be recognized by the state of Florida as a School of Excel-

lence,” said Joel Herbst, Ed.D., assistant dean of PK-12 schools and educational programs at FAU. “We are extremely proud of our students, faculty and staff for their continued efforts to enrich the educational experience of all students that walk through our doors.” The designation provides FAU Lab Schools special exemptions in state law, including exemption from laws or rules requiring a minimum period of daily or weekly reading instruction, and an exemption from school district policies establishing times for the start and end of the school day. FAU Lab Schools can retain this designation for up to three years, at which point the designation may be renewed.

To start out their new season, Palm Beach Dramaworks has pulled out the tried-and-true classic “The Little Foxes” to remind audiences that the financial-based corruption seen today has always been around in some form. Originally written in 1939 by Lillian Hellman, the play focuses on a Southern aristocratic family in 1900 who becomes torn apart by greed when one sister schemes to get rich at the expense of her brothers. Ostensibly focused on the Kathy McCafferty’s character Regina, Dramaworks has assembled a cast that so singularly portrays each character that the play feels more like an ensemble piece. From the start, the actors all have a clear, defined way of moving, speaking, even idly sitting or standing, that fully sets them apart from one another. Further, their movement and vocal choices end up foreshadowing their true characteristics, which only become fully apparent late in the play. In an early scene, McCafferty’s Regina sits in the center of a room, relaxed and controlling, while James Andreassi as her brother Oscar holds a silent power stance as he watches from a corner. Dennis Creaghan, as their other brother Ben, playfully leans towards her from a chair, legs crossed, while Oscar’s son Leo, played by Taylor Anthony Miller, sloppily leans against a wall without full attention in the moment. There were a few other characters in this moment, and every single one had a radiant personality, even though the only one moving and speaking was Regina. Along with director J. Barry Lewis, the actors have made sure the entire play contains this level of detail. And as mentioned, these layers on display throughout take on completely different meanings once everyone’s financially-motivated manipulation has been laid bare. On the technical side, scenic designer Michael Amico deserves special
mention. Far more than a two-dimensional facade, the set contains depth both on the stage and where you can’t initially see. For what’s immediately visible, a selection of upscale chairs and couches sit about the stage, arranged to accurately reflect an aristocrat’s living room with enough space and seating options to keep the ten characters busy throughout. Even more interesting, though, are the spaces that open up to reveal depth, like the dining room behind a sliding door. The room is completely furnished and visible only to one side of the audience, and it exists in the play only for a fairly short moment where a few characters enter and close the door. Nevertheless, it gives the impression that there are more layers to the house than we see, and the play becomes all the more immersive because of it. Pretty much every other detail of the production, from the other actors to the costumes and lighting, work well for the story. The lighting takes on a slightly different look for each scene as they all take place at different points in the day, the costumes find a way to stay periodspecific while reflecting the character each actor has built, and those actors I hadn’t mentioned above build fantastic characters of their own. In short, it all hits the mark. As a whole, Palm Beach Dramaworks did well to open their season with “The Little Foxes.” As an example of both their high quality productions and their choice of classic scripts that can appeal to modern audiences, they’ve shown the curious what to expect from a night at their theater. If you’re curious what rich families from over a hundred years ago can teach you about greed and humanity, take a trip down South with Palm Beach Dramaworks. “The Little Foxes” runs through November 12. Tickets are $75, but are also available at a reduced rate for students and those under 40. They can be purchased via phone at (561) 514-4042 or online at palmbeachdramaworks.org.

Boca Resident Among Good Samaritans Helping in the Glades Just as I was about to lose hope in my fellow human beings for being selfish, self-centered and uncaring recently, a miracle happened and renewed my faith in mankind. When a Belle Glade woman returned to her flooded home from a shelter after Hurricane Irma, no one in her community was willing to lend a hand - until a good Samaritan came to her aid. Willie Miller, Jr., manager of the West County Senior Center in Belle Glade, learned of Vernita Hale’s dilemma and visited the home. What he found was deplorable. The roof was leaking like a sieve, the drywalls were soggy and all her belongings were drenched. Knowing that many of Hale’s neighbors were in the same dilemma and could not help her, Miller reached out to me to assist. I used my platform and fired off an email with photos of the damage to my contacts in the community. Several people said they wanted to help including one local man, Frank Cid, who was ready
to take action. Cid, who owns and operates Royal Life Centers in Delray Beach, drove one hour to the western community to assess the damage. What he found was a house that needed to be gutted. “If we have to do the work over a few weekends, let’s do it,” he said. Along with the leaky roof, trashed interior and flooded lawn, the duplex reeked from mold and mildew. To further compound the matter, Hale tried to clean up the mold and mildew with bleach. Miller planned a daylong project on Oct. 28 to rehabilitate the home. But after an inspection of the home revealed a laundry list of problems, he decided it would be a long-term project. This weekend an army of local volunteers, including some from Royal Life Centers, will be heading over to Belle Glade to help give Hale a new lease on life. But getting here was not easy. Miller had to stealthily maneuver the bureaucratic red tape. He also had to
tread gingerly in the community as many questioned why Hale was getting so much attention while they also had damage to their homes but were being ignored. He then reached into his rolodex and leaned on his contacts. He met with a general contractor, a roofer, a sod company and any and every one he thought could help with the project. He even had a donation of a large receptacle for the debris from the roof and home. Before long, the good deed became contagious. He called me one evening last week to say the operators of Duda Farms had joined the team. “The land and people from the Lake communities are our most precious resources and taking the time to help someone in need is consistent with our company values,” Alberto Loret de Mola wrote in an email to Miller. Duda offered to provide a team of maintenance department employees to assist with repairs. They also will have their grill on site to feed lunch to 75 vol-
unteers. Islamorada Beer Company arranged for Hale to get four beds and a television from Marriott Hotel. The beds were among some that were donated to hurricane survivors in the Florida Keys. Cid is storing the furniture until the house is ready. The roof is the first of what promises to be a multi-phase project. The project still needs donations of sheet rock and all the material that will be needed to do the interior walls, he said. They also will need paint, 10 5x8 sheets of plywood and 35 bundles of shingles. Miller remains hopeful that a floodgate will open with blessings to complete the home by Christmas. “Little by little it’s going to come together,” he said. “We will get there. I know we will.” To reach Miller, call 561-3869897. C. Ron Allen can be reached at crallen@Delraybeachtribune.com or 561665-0151.
POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.
Disappointments Are Part of Life! Each human life should operate according to a sound plan that helps produce good results. Every individual can experience a purposeful life if plans are in place for the hoped-for outcomes. The good one desires and expects never comes by the mere wish one intensely manifests! Even then, plans also fail, however good and solid they may be! What was expected to bring certain advantages can sometimes produce the very opposite. Obviously, no one ever plans a disap-
pointment as something they eagerly anticipate; people actually avoid such experiences as much as they can. Yet, by what is done or not done ahead of time, frustrations come, disappointments often emerge, becoming an unwelcome reality to be confronted and dealt with in the best possible fashion! The fact that disappointments always occur in a person’s earthly trajectory should not give anyone the excuse for inaction with respect to them. Some may be avoided ahead of time, while all can be dealt with creatively once they
invade one’s human experience. A mere acceptance of the inevitable unpleasantness is no sign of strength but of weakness, since obstacles most often can be overcome. There are resources which God makes available and which human intelligence can utilize! Someone has wisely stated that much that life sometimes forces on us as an unpleasant surprise, is there either to change us for the better, or for us to change it with carefully secured means to overcome the undesirable situation we encounter. Nothing should be al-
lowed to paralyze us in our trajectory toward something better in life! Every challenge demands a corresponding action! Some problems may arise due to our own poor choices, while others affect us adversely on account of somebody else’s human error, or evil intent. In any case, we should not focus on the barriers represented by any disappointing experiences, but lift our gaze above and beyond them where new paths open up for our continued adventure!
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.

Visitors will also experience the importance of science in space and the future of space exploration. “This exhibit really makes you feel like you’re in the International Space Station, and it’s incredible,” said Crampton. “You don’t have to be a space junkie to have fun, and there’s something for everyone, old and young. We are thrilled to be able to open every mind to science and host Astronaut for an extra-terrestrial experience for families.” The exhibit’s “Training Zone” features some of the challenges involved in becoming an astronaut. Visitors may try their hand at assembling nuts and bolts while wearing a space suit, complete a successful mission and even try to over-

come G-forces. A “Rocket Launch” area simulates blast-off, allowing guests to climb into a rocket and countdown while sitting on a huge chair. This area also shows visitors what it is like to sleep in space as well as how to grow foods in zero gravity conditions. A live feed will show astronauts on board the International Space Station during their daily routines. This is just one feature in the “Space Lab” portion of the exhibit. “The Science Center has cultivated partnerships with local, retired astronauts, and we are thrilled to team up with them to add their personal journeys to the exhibit,” Crampton said. “They are excited to serve as guest lecturers throughout the display and share their unique knowledge and experiences with guests.” The exhibit is fresh off a successful stop in Houston, Texas, and West Palm Beach is just the third location for this exhibit’s orbit around North America. Astronaut is produced by Imagine Exhibitions and designed and produced by Scitech of Perth, Australia with the help of NASA. The mission of the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium is to “open every mind to science” and the indoor/outdoor venue features more than 100 hands-on educational exhibits, a 10,000 gallon fresh and salt water aquarium- featuring both local and exotic marine life, a digital planetarium, conservation research station, Florida exhibit hall, Pre-K focused “Discovery Center,” an interactive Everglades exhibit and the 18-hole Conservation Course – an outdoor putting course with science-focused education stations. For more information, call 561-832-1988 or visit www.sfsciencecenter.org. Like the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium on Facebook and follow them on Twitter and Instagram @ SFScienceCenter. The South Florida Science Center and Aquarium is located at 4801 Dreher Trail North in West Palm Beach and is open Monday – Friday from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., and on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Admission to the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium during Astronaut is $16.95 for adults, $12.95 for children ages 3 to 12 and $14.95 for seniors aged 60 and older.

Morikami Museum brings Japanese baseball phenomenon story to South Florida
The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. It’s not the Olympics or a professional sporting event. It’s high school baseball in Japan, showcased in the riveting documentary Kokoyakyu: High School Baseball, which will be screened at the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens on Thursday, November 2 at 7 p.m., followed by an inperson discussion with director Kenneth Eng. The 53-minute film is the first English-language film to examine the Japanese baseball phenomenon, and how it has become a national rite of passage for the youth. The Japanese passion for the sport is so strong, they have remade it to express their cultural and spiri-

tual values. But to truly understand, one must experience "Koshien,” the national high school baseball tournament. Four thousand teams enter, but only 49 are chosen to compete in the championship that grips the nation for two
weeks every August. The Koshien playoffs attract 60,000 fans per game to the stadium and are broadcast in full for 11 days on national television to millions of viewers with no commercial endorsements. The stadium's owners donate use of the facility, and nearly everyone involved, from umpires to trainers to coaches, volunteers his time. A few of the young players aspire to play professionally, but for most, Koshien is a deeper journey that calls on them to practice revered Japanese values -- hard work, dedication, selflessness and good sportsmanship. The same values that everyone, no matter where they live, can respect and strive for.

The Pointer Sisters To Perform at Pro-Celebrity Gala Organizers of the Chris Evert/ Raymond James Pro-Celebrity Tennis Classic are "So Excited" that The Pointer Sisters will be the celebrity performers for their 28th Annual Gala on Saturday, November 4 at the Boca Raton Resort & Club. The three-time Grammy-winning American R&B singing group from Oakland, California, achieved mainstream success over four decades with their unique style that included pop, disco, jazz, electronic music, bebop, blues, soul, funk, dance, country and rock. "I'm So Excited," "Fire," "He's So Shy," and "Slow Hand" are included among the group's 13 Billboard Hot 100 US Top 20 hits that will be performed for the more than 500 Gala-goers. The elegant black-tie Gala, which begins at 6:00 PM, includes dinner, cocktails, dancing, and live and silent auctions. Tickets are $750 per person. Five of The Pointer Sisters'
albums were certified US Gold, and their double-Grammy 1983 "Break Out" album went multiple Platinum with Top 10 hits "Automatic," "Jump," "I'm So Excited" and "Neutron Dance." The sisters followed up with another Platinum album in 1985 with "Contact," featuring hit single "Dare Me." The trio won three American Music Awards (1985-86), received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (1994) and were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame (2005). Their videos dominated the early years of MTV. The three-day Pro-Celebrity charity event (November 3-5) also includes two days of celebrity tennis at the Delray Beach Tennis Center. Proceeds from the event are distributed to programs funded through the Ounce of Prevention Fund of Florida and the Drug Abuse Foundation of Palm Beach County.

Diplomacy Program Students Named Sackler Fellows
Three students in the Leon Charney Diplomacy Program at Florida Atlantic University were recently named Sackler Fellows by the Foreign Policy Association (FPA). Alexa Menashe, Jessica Malinowska and Maria Hasbun attended the FPA’s World Leadership Forum in New York City to receive the honor. The Sackler Fellows program was established this year to promote great geographical representation of the FPA membership and to encourage young people to join the FPA and participate in events. “The designation of Alexa, Maria and Jessica as Foreign Policy Association Sackler Fellows is a tremendous accomplishment for these great students,
www.bocaratontribune.com
said Jeffery Morton, Ph.D., professor of political science in FAU’s Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters. “FAU’s Leon Charney Diplomacy Program is honored to be associated with an organization of the stature of the FPA.” The FPA was established in 1918 to promote non-partisan education of world affairs and U.S. foreign policy. Its Great Decisions program is used nationally to engage citizens in discussions of pressing international challenges. The World Leadership Forum is an annual event that brings together leading experts from business, government, academia and diplomacy. The Forum’s theme this year was U.S. relations with China. The Leon Charney Diplomacy Program, which trains students in world affairs, dispute resolution and debate, was established in 1996 and is a unit of the Peace, Justice & Human Rights Program at FAU.

columnists ROBERT’S COMMUNITY REPORT
FAITH By Robert J. Tamasy
By Robert Weinroth • Mayor Haynie and I attended the Soroptimist Women of Distinction Breakfast at Boca West Country Club on October 18th. The mayor delivered a proclamation celebrating the volunteerism recognized by the Soroptimist International. Soroptimists are philanthropists. Members of the group raise money and donate money to help women and girls, locally and around the world. In addition, Soroptimists are activists, coordinating worldwide projects, such as the “Women’s Opportunity Award.” Soroptimists are optimists, making the world a better place for women and girls! • That evening, the mayor and I joined the members of the Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce as we celebrated the opening of the first Burtons Grill & Bar in Florida (located at 5580 N Military Trail in the Park Place shopping center). The Burtons chain has 13 restaurants in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and now, Florida. Plans are to open two more soon in Maryland, and Massachusetts. • The 6th Annual In My Shoes Luncheon was held on October 19th. The luncheon benefited the JAFCO Abilities Center. JAFCO’s mission is to care for abused and neglected children and those with developmental disabilities. JAFCO provides a full continuum of high-quality services including foster care, adoption, family preservation, mentoring, independent living and developmental disability programs. • Congratulations to all of our volunteer readers who participated in the Reading for the Record program on October 19th. Reading for the Record is an annual event where volunteers and civic leaders help to make reading fun! Special thanks to our partners, the Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach County and Literacy AmeriCorps Palm Beach County. • The FAU Talon Leadership Awards were established in 1997 and are co-sponsored by the FAU Alumni Association and the FAU Student Government Homecoming Committee. The annual awards ceremony unites alumni, students, campus and community leaders in a celebration of leadership, support and service to FAU. Talon Awards were presented in four categories: the Alumni Talon Award, the President’s Talon Award, the Student Talon Award and the Faculty Talon Award. This year’s honorees were: Alumni Talent Award: 2007 Sun Belt Championship Football Team which won the Sun Belt Conference and received it’s 1st ever Bowl bid. The Faculty Talon Award was presented to Dr Heather Thompson, an assistant professor of social work at the Phyllis and Harvey Sandler School of Social Work at FAU. • On Friday night (October 20th) the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County celebrated with its president, Kelly Smallridge at the 35th Annual BDBGala
October 27 - November 2, 2017
at the Breakers. Rescheduled as a result of Hurricane Irma, the evening was a great opportunity to recognize the Business Development Board’s ongoing impact on the economic strength of our county. • Nobody fighting Breast Cancer should have to walk alone! The Annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk in Boca Raton set a goal, this year, to collect $500,000 to help the American Cancer Society save lives through research and early detection, and to give patients a hand to hold. About 15,000 members of the community came together at the Mizner Amphitheater for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. • It was a fun game to watch. FAU President John Kelly was all smiles! It was clear early in the 1st quarter that this FAU Football Team has risen to a level of confidence under Lane Kiffin, not seen in the past few seasons. The night at FAU Stadium was set up to honor the Florida Atlantic football team that won a bowl game 10 years ago. It turned into a display of perhaps the program’s next postseason team. The Owls continued their strong play with a record-setting 69-31 victory over North Texas. They are tied with Marshall University atop the East standings in Conference USA. The Owls have won three consecutive games for the first time in four years. They are also over .500 during the second half of the season for the first time since 2008. • On Sunday Pamela and I attended an exhibition of the works of NY celebrity and fashion photographer, Rose Hartman. You may not know her by name but you’ve seen her work. Starting with Studio 54 and moving forward into the New York celebrity fashion scene. The exhibit was capped with a gallery tour and screening of a film about her life. Hartman has photographed the rich, famous and stylish for more than 30 years. Her photos have been published Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Vanity Fair, The New York Times and Art & Auction, and have been displayed in museums and galleries around the world. • At its regular meeting on Tuesday October 21st, the City Council selected GL Homes as the bidder with whom the city will work to consummate a deal to sell the western (municipal) golf course. Their bid of $65 million with minimal contingencies was deemed the best offer. City property can only be sold by ordinance. The ordinance to sell the property to GL Homes was “introduced” at the City Council Meeting and will be considered in two weeks – stay tuned! • Dr. Robert P Watson, Lynn University Professor and prolific writer and lecturer, was the featured speaker at Congregation B’nai Israel of Boca Raton on Wednesday night. His primary focus was on his newly published book, The Nazi Titanic. As always, Watson made history come alive for his audience.
Are You Too Stubborn To Ask For Directions Which inventions, in your opinion, have had the greatest impact on mankind? It would be impossible to compile a complete list, but certainly among the most significant have been innovations like the electric light, automobile, airplane, synthetic fibers, personal computer, Internet, cell phone. You can probably think of many others, but one more recent tool I would add to the list is the global positioning system (GPS). For “directionally challenged” people like me, the GPS is a godsend. If you give me directions for how to get somewhere 10 times, it is likely the 11th time I will have to ask you again. For whatever reason, my mind does not retain linear information such as directions to a destination I do not visit frequently. So having a GPS is a great help, especially when traveling in an unfamiliar city. It has been observed that many men are particularly reluctant to ask directions – they take pride in being able to reach a destination without anyone’s help, human or technological. To me, however, that makes little sense. If your intent is to arrive at a certain place, why not try to learn the best, most efficient route? What if a “GPS” were available for charting the often rough, unpredictable terrain of our everyday lives: What is the best career for me? Is this a good time to change jobs? How can we reinvent our business to appeal to a changing market? When should I make that investment? Where is that key staff person we are seeking? What is the best way to balance my personal and professional life? How do I get out of debt? Actually, there is such a “device.” We know it as the Bible. We could also call it a GPS – God’s Positioning System. Let me explain:
Trust the “navigator.” When using a GPS in an automobile, it serves us best when we trust in its directions for guiding us to the destination. Time and experience have taught me God desires to serve as our navigator through life. Years ago I learned this verse, which has served as a continual reminder: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5-6). Be willing to change direction. When using an in-car GPS, if we make an incorrect turn we will hear it say, “recalculating.” Then it will revise the directions to keep us headed toward the destination. In a similar way, if we are willing to trust Him, God will redirect our lives, correct our decisions and adjust our plans to enable us to fulfill our goals and objectives, both personally and professionally. “In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps” (Proverbs 16:9). Remain confident even when surroundings seem unfamiliar. When driving in a car relying on a GPS, there are times when we wonder, “Are these directions right?” Usually, failure to trust the GPS and starting to rely on our own judgment and intuition instead is when we get into difficulty and find ourselves lost, far from where we wanted to go. This is why it is important to trust in God’s wisdom and guidance as well. “’For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11). How are you traveling through life today? Where are you getting guidance you need for the journey? Heizer Media Group

Owl's Win Record Setting Game on Homecoming Night By: Michael Demyan The Florida Atlantic University Owls defeated the North Texas Mean Green 69-31 Saturday night at home, which moved them to a 3-0 record in Conference USA. The 69 points were a school record for the Owls, who took the win on homecoming night. Their 804 yards gained on offense also broke Tulsa’s CUSA record of 791 in 2008. FAU got off to a quick start, as Devin Singletary rushed the ball into the endzone twice during their first two possessions. Greg Joseph followed with a field goal on their third drive and quarterback Jason Driskel passed to Willie Wright for another touchdown on their fourth drive. By the end of the first quarter, the Owls were already on top 24-0. The North Texas offense seemed ready to go at the start of the second quarter however, as they recorded five first downs on their way to bringing the score to 24-7. That would be all for them in the first half though as the Owls answered right back with two more touchdowns and a field goal, bringing the score to 41-7 at halftime. North Texas started off the scoring for the second quarter in a row in the third with a field goal from Trevor Moore, but FAU once again took control with a Harrison Bryant touchdown. The Mean Green’s Jeffrey Wilson followed that up by rushing the ball into the endzone for their second touch-
down of the night, but by the end of the quarter, the Owls held a commanding 62-17 lead. After FAU quarterback John Franklin III led off the fourth quarter with the team’s ninth and final touchdown of the game, the North Texas offense was able to score on their final two possessions, but it wasn’t nearly enough as the Owls won 69-31. FAU head coach Lane Kiffin was very proud of the Owls’ performance, who scored in each of their first 11 drives. “That’s a really good team that we played, who beat a really good team last week in UTSA,” he said. “They have one of the most explosive passing game down the field in the country. Our players really came together in the bye week as a group and executed really well.” On a night when multiple team records were broken, Joseph broke his own personal record with 15 points, surpassing his previous career high of 14. Singletary also reached 14 rushing touchdowns for the season, breaking a record set by the Owls’ Greg Howell in 2016. “They played smart,” Kiffin said. “We have a long ways to go. We’re just getting started. We need to keep improving as a team. Hopefully we’re hitting our stride during that part of the year where a lot of new guys who struggled early will be better compared to early." The Owls’ next matchup will be on the road against Western Kentucky Oct. 28 at 4:30 p.m.

Could Professional Soccer be Coming Back to Boca Raton?
Boca Raton could soon be getting their own professional soccer team. According to a report by soctakes.com, Boca Raton FC is one of the seven teams who recently signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to join the North American Soccer League (NASL) in the 2018 season. The deal is far from done, as the NASL themselves need to move past some hurdles, most notably whether the league itself will remain a sanctioned Division II professional league. These LOIs, signed in September of 2017, state that the teams will join NASL if the league is able to retain their DII status after the upcoming Oct. 31 hearing regarding its federal antitrust lawsuit against the United States Soccer Federation (USSF). The NASL currently finds themselves in a battle with USSF since it was announced over the summer the NASL would not retain DII status. Potentially joining Boca Raton FC for the 2018 NASL season are current NPSL sides Boston City, Detroit City FC, FC Arizona, and Virginia Beach City FC, New Orleans Jesters, and Hartford City FC. Boca Raton FC currently plays in the American Premier Soccer League (APSL), and the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL), and play their home games at Atlantic High School. Formed in 2015, Boca Raton FC has won two APSL Championships and 2 APSL Fall Championships. The Club has also played in two Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup tournaments representing the city in which they have the name in the crest. If Boca Raton FC is to make the move to professional soccer, it would be the first time since 1994 that the city would have a Professional soccer team. The Boca Raton Sabers played in the United States Independent Soc-

cer League (USISL) from 1992 until 1994. The USISL would later become the United Soccer League (USL), which currently functions under DII in the USSF. When reached for a comment, a Boca Raton FC spokesperson declined to comment on the story. Boca Raton FC has brought some of the biggest names in both National and International Soccer to Boca Raton in past. Back in January 2016, Boca Raton FC hosted Ukrainian-giants, FC Shakhtar Donetsk at Boca Raton High School, and in March, the club brought the legendary New York Cosmos to play, also at Boca High. A potential move to FAU Stadium could be in the folds, as the stadium is no stranger to soccer matches, having hosted the US Men's and Women's National Teams as well as powerhouses such as Argentina, Colombia, Germany, and others. FAU Stadium holds 29,419, which would give Boca Raton FC one of the largest stadiums in the NASL. Many across the soccer world have long stated that FAU Stadium would be the ideal place for a professional soccer franchise to thrive in the Palm Beach County market. Another option for the local club would be to play its home matches at Boca Raton High School, like they did in the 2015 season. Spanish River High School, Olympic Heights High School, and West Boca High School are also potential landing spots for the professional franchise to play its games. With the club playing in a DII league, the value it would bring to the city would be felt. With NASL matches going from April until November, the influx of opposing team fans, and team staff would give a boost to tourism in months when the city is usually in the low season. Nevertheless, all of this hinges on the upcoming Oct. 31 injunctive relief hearing.

Florida Tech Sweeps Lynn Soccer Wednesday Night By: Jack Rubin Both Lynn University men’s and women’s soccer teams fell in their respective games to Florida Tech on Wednesday night. The Fighting Knights men’s team lost 2-1, trailing for 88 minutes of the away match. Florida Tech’s women’s club defeated Lynn in Boca Raton, 1-0. The Lynn men’s loss was only their second of the season, though it was a very costly slip. Entering the game, the Panthers trailed the Fighting Knights by one point in the Sunshine State Conference. Now, the Knights sit in third place, two points behind the Panthers and three behind Palm Beach Atlantic University. Palm Beach Atlantic’s Wednesday fixture was cancelled due to the weather. Lynn holds a commanding lead in the all-time series between the two teams, boasting a 27-5 all-time record against Florida Tech. The Panthers last win at Lynn University came in 1994. However, Wednesday was different. Jan Hlavica made it 1-0 Panthers in the 12th minute, as Lynn surrendered an early first half goal for the second time in as many games. Three minutes into the second half, Florida Tech struck again. Evan Enders scored off of a defensive miscue
by the Knights. Simon Kraemer scored in the 89th minute, but it was far too late for a Lynn comeback. After a game in which Tampa had four corner kicks to Lynn’s zero, Florida tech had nine to Lynn’s one. Corner kicks led directly to offense for the Panthers, and the lack of corner kicks on Lynn’s end must be addressed. With just two conference games remaining, Lynn has their work cut out for them. They are back in action on Wednesday, October 25, for senior night. Meanwhile, the Fighting Knights women’s team fell to 5-8-0 with Wednesday’s loss. The Panthers jumped to fifth place in the SSC, leaving the Knights with a 3-5 record in conference play. Lynn’s nine points will not be enough to qualify for the playoffs with three games left on the schedule. Florida Tech outshot Lynn 2911, and Keira McCarthy’s 57th minute goal proved to be the only offense they needed. Lynn’s best scoring chance came late in the game, but Jamie Perrillo’s header nailed the goal post. The Panthers beat Lynn’s women for the second time this season, and lead the all-time series 12-7-1. The Lady Fighting Knights senior night is also this week, on Monday, October 23.
