Charity Rally Coming Through Florida ars4kids.org), a Florida based charity founded by Jon Springer and Ankush Shah, has organized a three day rally through Central and South Florida in support of terminally ill and medically fragile children.

Jon Springer details the event that inspired him to partner with Ankush to create Dream Cars 4 Kids, “I started the Dream Car Network in 2012 after I was approached by St. Jude Children’s Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee concerning 5-year-old Nathan. Nathan was a strong-willed boy battling the final stages of Leukemia whose last wish was to see a Koenigsegg. I was contacted because I just happened to be in touch with an owner of one.“ Ankush Shah, the organizer of Cars & Coffee Central Florida sought “to combine forces and bring our networks together to do something bigger. We wanted to give luxury car owners the chance to bring their supercars to sick children and at the same time help raise money for the kids.”

Community FAU Pine Jog Celebrates Local Schools For ‘Going Green’

Florida Atlantic University Pine Jog Environmental Education Center recently celebrated the Green Schools Class of 2019 at the 11th annual Green Schools Awards at FAU’s Boca Raton campus.

Public and private schools in Palm Beach and Martin counties that made the grade in “going green” this year totaled 129, growing from 21 schools in 2008.

The Green Schools Recognition Program (GSRP) recognizes schools that have taken a holistic and innovative approach to greening their campuses and academic programs. Efforts include outdoor learning, campus gardens, recycling, energy and water conservation, interdisciplinary environmental curriculum, local habitat studies, green community service projects, healthy eating and fitness programs, and a school-wide commitment to sustainability.

“When this is the kind of school where students learn and grow, environmental sustainability becomes a part of how they see the world and how they see themselves,” said Ray Coleman, executive director of FAU Pine Jog. “They know that their learning is connected to the world around them, that their actions count, and that they can make a difference - not just one day in the future, but right now.”

Representing 37 percent of all schools in Palm Beach and Martin counties, the program is coordinated by FAUPine Jog Environmental Education Center in collaboration with the School District of Palm Beach County (SDPBC) and the Martin County School District (MCSD). It relies on local organizations, agencies and businesses to serve as school mentors, application judges, and award sponsors each year.

The program, cited as a Collaboration Award winner, received national attention as one of only nine recipients of a 2019 Best of Green Schools Award from the U.S. Green Building Council’s Center for Green Schools and the Green Schools National Network.

“There is no question that this national award reflects the work of the incredible teachers, administrators, students, and staff that we are honoring today - and of the community partners that support their efforts,” said Anne Henderson, director of education at FAU Pine Jog. “Together, they are doing something remarkable in our community – building cultures of environmental stewardship and sustainability at every level in our schools. We are so proud of all that they are accomplishing.”

FAU Pine Jog distributed 40cash prizes totaling more than $16,000 to Palm Beach and Martin County schools and individuals implementing exceptional green school programs and practices. All cash awards are intended to help local schools continue to grow their “green” projects.

Top award recipients were Bridges Montessori winning first place and $2,000; H. L. Johnson Elementary School taking second place and $1,000; and Whispering Pines Elementary School receiving third place and $750.

The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County (SWA) sponsored four additional awards to recognize facilities and food service personnel for their significant contributions to school sustainability efforts.

Patrick Albano, head custodian at Orchard View Elementary School, was named Green Facilities Staff Member of the Year and received $500. Benjamin Chapman, custodian at Tradewinds Middle School, received $250 as the runner-up for this award. The Green Food Service Staff Member of the Year was Helen O’Laughlin, cafe manager at American Heritage School of Boca/ Delray, who received $500. Charlotte “Charlie” Peterman, cafeteria manager at Crosspointe Elementary School, received $250 as the runner-up in this category.

Georgia Brooks, a graduating senior at Palm Beach Central High School, was named the Green Student of the Year and awarded a $500 scholarship for dedication to greening her school.

Dianne Rivelli-Schreiber, principal of Calusa Elementary School, was nominated by her school for Green Principal of the Year and was awarded $500. Green Teacher of the Year was awarded to Jennifer Drake of West Gate Elementary School who received $500 for her exemplary commitment to green learning.

PBSC Freezes Tuition For Eighth Year

Tuition at Palm Beach State College will not increase for the eighth straight year.

The District Board of Trustees unanimously voted Tuesday to hold the line on tuition as part of its approval of the $130.5 million 2019-2020 operating budget that goes into effect July 1.

In-state tuition and fees will remain at $101 (including $76.92 for tuition) per credit hour or $303 for a three-credit hour course, which is among the lowest in Florida and in the nation.

Tuition and fees for postsecondary adult vocational program courses are fixed at $83.40 per credit hour and $2.78 per contact hour. The cost of bachelor’s degree

courses, regulated by the Florida Legislature, remains at $122.85 per credit hour or $368.55 for a three-credit hour class.

While technology and capital improvement fees rose slightly twice, and the student activity fee rose once, Palm Beach State’s tuition has remained flat for eight years. To compare, in 2012-2013, students paid $98.25 per credit hour or $294.75 for a three-credit hour course.

The 2019-2020 budget is about $2 million less than last year’s budget of $132.5 million. College leaders say they remain committed to providing high-quality education and services for students.

Boca Raton Regional Hospital Receives Thrombectomy-Capable Stroke Center Certification

Boca Raton Regional Hospital (BRRH) has earned ThrombectomyCapable Stroke Center (TSC) certification from The Joint Commission, in collaboration with the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA). This certification signifies its Marcus Neuroscience Institute (MNI) meets rigorous standards for performing mechanical endovascular thrombectomy (EVT), a minimally invasive procedure used to remove a blood clot from the brain during an ischemic stroke.

“Our expertise in treating stroke through this minimally invasive, catheterbased technique helps improve patient outcomes,” said Brian Snelling, MD, Director of Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery and Stroke at MNI. “This capability also significantly adds to the spectrum of advanced stroke-related services offered at the Institute.”

BRRH was evaluated during an onsite review for compliance with the TSC requirements that were developed with input from experts on comprehensive stroke treatment and stroke program management.

The certification has strict guidelines that any physician who performs EVT for stroke must perform a minimum of 15 annually and the capability to perform EVT around the clock, seven days a week. BRRH’s medical staff includes three credentialed neurointerventionalists – physicians who routinely perform emergency mechanical thrombectomy – which requires the Hospital to conduct at least 45 procedures each year. These physicians also must meet the highest standards of sub-specialty training.

“This certification represents

another significant milestone in the Institute’s growth and position as a regional leader in stroke care,” said Frank D. Vrionis, MD, MPH, PhD, Director of MNI. “We continue to expand our capabilities to better meet the needs of the patients we serve.”

“The Joint Commission congratulates Boca Regional on this significant achievement which makes it a preferred location for transporting patients with suspected ischemic stroke,” said David Baker, MD, MPH, FACP, executive vice president, Division of Health Care Quality Evaluation, The Joint Commission.

“Multiple studies have proven EVT treatment to be effective in saving lives and lowering disability from stroke.”

“With the recent advances in endovascular therapies for acute ischemic stroke, it’s important to recognize hospitals which can perform this critical intervention safely and effectively and we commend Boca Regional on this designation,” said Edward C. Jauch, MD, chair of the American Heart Association/ American Stroke Association’s Hospital Accreditation Stroke Subcommittee.

“The TSC certification helps prehospital providers better understand hospital stroke capabilities and assist in regional EMS triage of stroke patients so that the patient gets to the right hospital for the right treatment.”

Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States and more than 87 percent of cases are ischemic strokes caused by a clot that cuts off blood flow to a part of the brain. These types of strokes are largely treatable if a patient gets to a hospital that can provide the right treatment in time.

FAU Alumnus Skipp Orr Awarded the Order of the Rising Sun

Florida Atlantic University alumnus Robert M. (Skipp) Orr recently received the Order of the Rising Sun, an honor granted by the Imperial Palace of Japan. The award was given by Shinsuke Sugiyama, the Japanese ambassador to the United States, in a ceremony at his residence in Washington, D.C. The Order of the Rising Sun was established in 1875 by Emperor Meiji of Japan and is granted to those who have made distinguished achievements in international relations involving Japan. Orr graduated with a B.A. in History cum laude from FAU in 1976.

“We are so proud of Skipp’s recognition with this prestigious award, given that his interest in world history and politics began here in our college’s department of history,” said Michael Horswell, Ph.D., dean of FAU’s Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters. “I appreciate Skipp’s strong commitment to the humanities as a critical component of any university education. We were lucky enough to have him show that commitment as a distinguished visiting professor last year, sharing his knowledge and experience with our students.”

Orr served as U.S. executive director to the Asian Development Bank, with the rank of ambassador from 2010 to 2016, and is currently on the Board of Directors of the Council of American Ambassadors. From 2007-2010, Orr was chairman of the board of the Panasonic Foundation and concurrently vice chair of the National Association of JapanAmerica Societies, a member of the board of trustees of J.F. Obirin University, and a member of the board of the East-West Center Foundation.

From January 2002 until March 2007, Orr was president of Boeing Japan.

He held this position during the development of the most successfully selling airplane in history, the 787

Dreamliner, 35 percent of which is manufactured in Japan. Prior to joining Boeing, Orr was vice president and director of European affairs for Motorola based in Brussels. He also has held various senior level posts with Motorola in Japan, culminating as vice president of government relations. In that capacity, he successfully led the negotiations that opened up the cellular phone market in Japan.

In addition to the corporate world, Orr also has spent many years in academia between 1985 and 1993, as a professor of political science at Temple University in Japan with two years off to run the Kyoto Center for Japanese Studies and the Stanford Center for Technology and Innovation at the Stanford Japan Center in Kyoto. He was also a visiting professor at FAU in 2018. His book “The Emergence of Japan’s Foreign Aid Power,” published by Columbia University Press, won the 1991 Ohira Prize for best book on the Asia Pacific.

“Robert Orr is a great professor and an even greater human being,” said Garrett Andrew, one of Orr’s former FAU students. “This award is a reflection of his character and winning it shows that no dream is too big and no task is too daunting for FAU students. His enthusiasm for education and helping others is something that we can all learn from.”

Orr holds a B.A. in history cum laude from FAU, an M.A. in government from Georgetown University and a Ph.D. in political science from Tokyo University.

He speaks German and Japanese fluently and intermediate French. He and his wife, Mitsuko, have been married for 43 years and maintain a residence in Kamakura, Japan and in Pau, France.

More Needs to Be Done Now to Stem Summer Learning Loss

When asked why he had not completed his assignment to research a topic for the following day, one boy in the STEAMfocused summer camp flatly responded, “This is summer camp, not school and I don’t like to read.”

What an indictment!

Summer is here, school is out and the American ideal of lazy summers filled with fun has an unintended consequence: “summer slide, summer setback, summer learning loss or summer brain drain,” the term that refers to children losing academic skills during the summertime, when they are most often out of practice.

It is no secret that summertime is one of the most critical periods for elementary and secondary students. For many, it signifies ball games, pools, family vacations, and that longed-for break from schoolwork.

But it is one of the most important, yet least acknowledged, causes of underachievement in our schools.

Scholastic Corporation, an education and media company that publishes books and educational materials for schools, teachers, parents, and children, commissioned a study of 2,758 students earlier this year, which showed that 32 percent of kids ages 15-17 said they do not read any books over the summer, compared to 22 percent in 2016.

While summer slide impacts all students, studies show significant summer

learning loss gets worse or better depending on the grade level, the subject, the socioeconomic status of the students’ families, and any number of other factors.

Knowing that students who are not engaged in learning over the summer lose skills in math, reading and writing, a handful of local organizations are taking steps to ensure that learning continues.

Our local librarians, education advocates and summer camp organizers know that the odds of many students picking up a book while out of school for 10 weeks are slim to none. So, they are offering reading and other interactive programs for children to try new things, participate in crafts and activities as well as allow them to socially interact with their peers.

These programs are a good band aid. But more needs to be done.

I have been hearing about efforts to put more books into the hands of kids for years but somehow, it does not seem to be working. Or if it is, the impact is unsatisfactory. Let me also add that this problem of summer learning loss has been of interest to education researchers dating back as far as 1906.

The time is come for our thought leaders to create strategies other than what is being used now.

With all the advances in educational technology such as animated e-books, interac-

tive whiteboards, and mobile literacy apps, summer learning loss should not be an issue that we are still trying to address.

We cannot and should no longer rely on our educators to address learning during the summer.

After all, they are burned out from nine months of working in the classrooms.

It will take community organizations dedicated to youth growth and development, not those who see it as a job, to bring about plausible change. These organizations would need to form partnerships with our school district to leverage resources for the summer.

Above all, the learning during those 10 weeks must be fun. There needs to be blended academic learning with hands-on or recreational activities, professionalizing summer school staff, and forming partnerships with community organizations to leverage resources.

Also, parents can help by asking your child’s teachers about areas where your child could use a little extra attention over the summer, and ask about recommended summer reading to prepare for class this coming fall.

Once again, we need to diversify our approach to learning so that it is fun. In fairness to our children, after being cooped up in a building for nine months, they need to be outdoors or in environments that promote learning during the summer.

One example is my organization, KOP Mentoring Network, a local nonprofit, which has been using non-traditional approaches to make learning fun.

This summer, the organization is using professionals and retired educators and law enforcement personnel to expose the campers to life through field trips and guest speakers. Over the last three weeks, they spent a day at the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium, the Kennedy Space Center and the Apple Store.

They also learned how to program and fly drones, learned about the stock market, toured four radio stations and observed a robot perform a surgery in a local hospital.

Campers are required to do journals daily.

Let me add that a lack of basic literacy skills is linked with academic failure, delinquency, low productivity, substance abuse, teenage pregnancy, unemployment and welfare dependency.

Pair these facts with the reality that low-income students often do not even have access to and it becomes clear how children from disadvantaged families start a new school with reading scores 30 percent lower than students with steady access to books.

Furthermore, each fall, teachers spend an average of four to six weeks re-teaching last year’s content that students forgot over summer break.

POSITIVE LIVING

By Robert J. Tamasy

10 Years From Now, Who Will Remember?

One of the most profound clichés I have ever heard is so simple it is easy to ignore: “Fame is fleeting.” Think about it: A musician records a hit tune that soars to the top of the sales charts, but hit song No. 2 never comes. Years later the “one-hit wonder” no longer appears in a “Who’s Who” listing of famous people; instead, you might find him relegated to “Who’s He?”

Candidates run for a major political offices, even for President. When they lose the election, however, they are soon forgotten. Some of us will forget they ever sought public office.

Patrick Morley, speaker and author of The Man in the Mirrorand other thoughtful books, referred to this some time back when he wrote, “This morning I was trying to remember the name of the enormously successful businessman and iconic philanthropist in Tampa (Florida, U.S.A.) who once owned the Tampa Bay

June 28 - July 4, 2019

Buccaneers (professional football team).

His name was constantly in the news. He was far more well-known that you or I will ever be, yet 10 years after the last time I heard his name, I can’t remember it. And there are many more just like him.” The path from fame to obscurity can be very short.

Morley then posed the question, “Who will remember your name 10 years after you die?” When we consider all of the people who once achieved fame and acclaim, whose names for a time were on everyone’s lips, only to fade into the forgotten, isn’t that an important question to ask ourselves?

The fundamental issue is not how to achieve long-lasting notoriety. Rather, it is what our priorities should be so that when our time in this life has ended, the impact of our lives – the legacy we have established – will continue through the lives

of other people. We can pursue wealth, set lofty business goals, strive for recognition and status, or pursue any number of lifetime dreams. But if we have not made a meaningful, positive impact in the lives of the people we encounter from day to day, ultimately nothing else will matter.

Consider the life of Jesus Christ.

His formal ministry on earth lasted only three years. During that span He touched thousands of lives, but most significantly Jesus invested many hours in teaching and discipling a handful of men from a variety of backgrounds. These were not the MBAs, top executives or elite citizens of their day.

Yet 2,000 years later, His impact in their lives – which they passed along to many others – can be seen in countless millions of people around the world.

The apostle Paul offered this perspective: “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though

www.bocaratontribune.com

outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen…what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal”(2 Corinthians 4:16-18).

So we ask the question again: Who will remember your name 10 years after you die? None of us, of course, will approach the impact of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. But we can be involved in His eternal, life-changing work during the fleeting years we have remaining.British missionary C.T. Studd said it well in a poem: “Only one life, ‘twill soon be past, only what’s done for Christ will last.” What are you pursuing with your life that will last – for eternity?

Pitfalls Of The ‘Peter Principle’

Talent Show at Artis Senior Center A kareoke show called “The Voice” was held at the Artis Senior Center for the benefit of the Alzheimer’s Association.

Years ago, the business world became captivated by a book called The Peter Principle, authored by Dr. Laurence J. Peter. The book focused on an common pitfall of leadership advancement: If we continually promote high performers, we will eventually advance them to a level of incompetence. In other words, success in one level of endeavor does not guarantee success in levels of greater authority and responsibility.

Even though Dr. Peter’s book was first published more than 40 years ago, this “Peter Principle” continues being practiced today, often to the detriment of individuals and the organizations that employ them. According to the Harvard Business Review, researchers Alan Benson and Kelly Shue tested this theory by studying how well sales people performed when promoted to sales management positions.

Benson and Shue discovered high-performing salespeople often were not good managers, affirming the Peter Principle. When offered a promotion, some people accept it for the additional compensation that comes with it. Or they take the new position out of pride, desiring status or authority that goes with it, rather than to humbly and honestly consider their skill sets, evaluating whether the proposed role would be the best fit for them. Failing to perceive they could become “square pegs” struggling to fit into “round holes” can lead to unnecessary failure.

For instance, people whose persuasive and people skills enable them to excel in sales might lack the necessary leadership or administrative skills to effectively handle the challenges of managing and directing others.

Such a promotion could prove to be more of a penalty than a reward.

The consequences of moving high performers into very different new

roles are significant on several levels.

For a company, ideally every individual would be situated in positions where they can both excel and thrive. The adage about a chain being only as strong as its weakest link applies to people being promoted beyond their capabilities.

In sports, not all stellar athletes are suited to experience equal success as managers, coaches or sports executives. Similarly, promoting someone to a role that requires different skills and gifts can prove frustrating for everyone.

Some individuals may find great joy and fulfillment in their current position, but become miserable in another role for which they are ill-suited. At the same time, those assigned to report to them could become stifled in their own productivity.

The Bible offers insight into how to avoid this dilemma:

Seek wisdom to discern how best to utilize people’s talents and abilities. Effective leaders learn to understand the people who work for them – their skills, interests, goals and limitations. Advancement decisions should be made with all of those factors in mind.”Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds” (Proverbs 27:23).

Do not let pride or ambition misdirect your career. Without question, excellence should be recognized and rewarded. “Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve before kings; he will not serve before obscure men” (Proverbs 22:29). However, ambition and the desire for recognition can lead to poor career decisions. Proverbs 29:23 teaches,”A man’s pride will bring him low, but a humble spirit will obtain honor.”

If you desire honor for your work, concentrate on what you do best and ask your company to reward your successes appropriately.

Skin Laundry To Open Third South Florida Location At Town Center At Boca Raton In June 2019

Skin Laundry, the skincare company renowned for making medical-grade laser facials safe, effective and affordable, opened its third South Florida location at Town Center at Boca Raton.

"Since entering the Florida market earlier this year, we've seen growing demand from Floridians for Skin Laundry locations near where they live, work, and play," said Skin Laundry CEO Gregg Throgmartin. "The ability to deliver our quick, safe and effective laser facials to more and more people in this market is a huge win and an exciting next step in the company's continued growth."

Skin Laundry first launched in South Florida with the opening of its store in Dadeland Mall this February, followed by a clinic at The Falls in April and Town Center at Boca Raton in June.

Skin Laundry is also set to open a fourth location in Sarasota, FL at the Mall of University Town Center come Fall 2019.

Once all new locations are open, Skin Laundry will operate 23 Laser Facial Clinics globally, including California, Arizona, Florida, New York, Hong Kong and the UK. Skin Laundry is planning to continue its rapid growth and open many more locations in 2019 and beyond.

Skin Laundry has performed more than 500,000 Laser Facials to date, always administered by highly trained medical professionals utilizing cuttingedge technology. Its Laser Facial Clinics offer a complete Skin Laundry experience, featuring certified Skin Laundry laser technicians who administer the company’s celebrated facials, known for being effective, efficient, safe and affordable. Treatment options include the

signature 15-minute Laser & Light Facial, a two-step treatment that uses a proprietary combination of YAG Laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to help clients achieve deep clean, clear, radiant skin; the newly launched Carbon Peel, an acne and wrinkle fighting one-two punch that targets pigment and intensifies skin exfoliation and rejuvenation; and the Ultra Fractional, a new 30-minute non-ablative fractional resurfacing treatment that uses a YAG laser, fractional resurfacing laser, and Hydration Boost for greater intensity, faster results, and enhanced correction. All treatments have zero downtime and include add-on options such as the hydration boost, which uses pressurized oxygen to powerfully deliver HA, antioxidants and peptides into the skin.

To help people achieve Skin Laundry-clean skin at home, Skin Laundry developed the Wash & Wear Skincare line, which will be available at all new locations in addition to online at skinlaundry.com, and Bloomingdales. com. This signature product line features a high-efficiency, low maintenance collection of targeted cleansers, specialty treatments and masks. Highlights include: Gentle Foaming Face Wash, named one of the "Best Beauty Products of 2016" by British Vogue; Essential Daily Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF35, a top pick

by Refinery29 for acne-prone skin; the SleepCycle™ Pillowcase, recognized by Allure for its ability to positively transform hair and skin; and the Hydrating Radiance Facial Treatment Mask, voted one of the "Best Sheet Masks for Your Face" by Good Housekeeping.

Dream Cars 4 Kids Brings Charity Rally Through Florida to Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital

Dream Cars 4 Kids (www. dreamcars4kids.org), a Florida based charity founded by Jon Springer and Ankush Shah, has organized a three day rally through Central and South Florida in support of terminally ill and medically fragile children.

Jon Springer details the event that inspired him to partner with Ankush to create Dream Cars 4 Kids, “I started the Dream Car Network in 2012 after I was approached by St. Jude Children’s Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee concerning 5-yearold Nathan. Nathan was a strong-willed boy battling the final stages of Leukemia whose last wish was to see a Koenigsegg. I was contacted because I just happened to be in touch with an owner of one.“ Ankush Shah, the organizer of Cars & Coffee Central Florida sought “to combine forces and bring our networks together to do something bigger. We wanted to give luxury car owners the chance to bring their supercars to sick children and at the same time help raise money for the kids.”

This summer Dream Cars 4 Kids has partnered with Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Hollywood, Florida to bring the supercars to kids in need at their facility.

They have mobilized supercar owners to visit with these children and their families at the hospital to bring joy and brighten the lives of these medically fragile children. Any children who wish to see the supercars will

be able to hang out with the owners and their cars to create a memorable experience.

Dream Cars 4 Kids Rallies also bring a unique experience for participants as well. These multi-day rallies usually include beautiful, luxury hotel stays in spectacular cities throughout Florida and the opportunity for participants to truly make a difference in a child’s life. Rally stops include visiting children’s hospitals or specialty care facilities to share the dream cars with the special kids. Rally registrants also have the convenience of driving scenic highways and historic byways that have been mapped out for increased enjoyment while accessing the sheer power and style of their vehicles.

Dream Cars 4 Kids ultimate goal is to positively impact the lives of children beyond their moments with the supercars.

They back up these exciting events by donating proceeds of the rally to the destination hospital, such as St. Jude Children’s Hospital, and reputable charities that help sick kids in need. Rally Drivers pledge to raise or donate a certain amount required to participate in the Rally. This fundraiser would not have been possible without their sponsors, Network Property Group - Jon Springer, Off Lease Only, Daya’s Certified Collision Center, and FBC Mortgage Scott Kennedy.

FAU Receives $1 Million from Rubin and Cindy Gruber

Florida Atlantic University officially announced a $1 million gift from Rubin and Cindy Gruber to establish The Rubin and Cindy Gruber Sandbox and to support student scholarships through their endowment.

The Rubin and Cindy Gruber Sandbox will house the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science’s Machine Perception and Cognitive Robotics Lab (MPCR) within the S.E. Wimberly Library at FAU’s Boca Raton campus. The gift will support renovating a 3,400-square-foot resource center designed to cater to students from across the University. Students will be able to directly engage with the fast-advancing field of artificial intelligence.

Combining computing and neuroscience, this transformative field opens the door to new discoveries for everything from robotics to Alzheimer’s disease detection.

Led by co-directors Elan Barenholtz, Ph.D., and William Edward Hahn, Ph.D., the MPCR has produced high profile research and created strong community partnerships with local industries.

“With the generous gift from Rubin and Cindy Gruber, students and faculty can come together from any college or division at FAU to participate, create and innovate for the greater good,” said Ata Sarajedini, Ph.D., dean of the Charles

www.bocaratontribune.com

E. Schmidt College of Science. “My hope is that the Sandbox is just the beginning of many interdisciplinary partnerships that help shape the future of research and academic inquiry. This project is exemplar of how science reaches beyond the college’s walls and plays a fundamental role across the University.”

Rubin and Cindy Gruber are entrepreneurs and philanthropists who have demonstrated an expanding commitment to the mission, vision, and objectives of the University as evidenced by the creation of the Rubin and Cindy Gruber Endowment Fund at FAU last year. The Grubers also spend a considerable amount of time mentoring FAU students.

Rubin Gruber founded several telecommunications, data communications, and digital networking companies throughout his 40-year career. In 2001, he was named one of Tech 100’s “Highest Rollers”

by Forbes magazine. Cindy Gruber had a successful marketing management career that spanned 25 years and produced an award-winning documentary film.

“This gift is about more than just the money, said Cindy Gruber. “It will provide hope for the future, and a connection to a younger generation through friendship and mentoring.”

Palm Beach Atlantic Alumna Wins NBC Show ‘Songland’

When alumna Tebby Burrows ’11 submitted one of the songs she’d written to NBC’s new show “Songland,” she had no clue she’d be singing it in front of John Legend a few months later.

Nor did she know Legend would record the song, or that it would climb to the top 10 of the iTunes chart this summer.

“We had no idea who we were submitting our songs for, so it was pretty cool to walk in and see him,” said Burrows, who is a fan of Legend’s.

June 28 - July 4, 2019

At PBA, Burrows was communication major and a business administration minor. That education prepared her to “think of things not just from a creative standpoint but from a business standpoint as well.” After graduation, she went to work for a venture capital firm in New York. Now she works in marketing and advertising for a creative agency in Los Angeles.

She started releasing a lot of her own music over the last two and a half years but had a few songs she hadn’t released yet, she said. She won

the first episode of Songland with “We Need Love.”

On the show, four up-andcoming songwriters pitch their compositions to a different well-known recording artist. The artist selects three contestants to collaborate with three Grammy Award-nominated and winning producers and then chooses one song to record.

The musician’s single debuts at the end of each episode. Photo 2: Tebby Burrows, center, poses for a photo with threetime Grammy Award-winning producer Shane McAnally, left, and musician John Legend, right, on the set of "Songland."

Legend chose Burrows' song "We Need Love" to record and release. Photo courtesy of Trae Patton/NBC

Burrows was paired with Shane McAnally, a three-time Grammy Awardwinning country songwriter and record producer. Burrows, who was born in Miami and grew up in the Bahamas, said their styles jibed because she writes her songs with an acoustic guitar and appreciates country music. (She learned to play when she was 12.)

www.bocaratontribune.com

“I love country music because country music is about telling stories, and I consider myself a storyteller,” she said.

McAnally and Legend wanted Burrows to dial back the song’s island sound before she sang it again at the end of the show. Burrows first heard Legend’s version of her song May 28, the night the episode aired.

“I wanted to be surprised, so I waited to hear it with everyone else,” she said. “To hear it finally was really, really great.”

Her “Songland” appearance has led to more conversations and writing sessions with more producers and songwriters, she said. For her, songwriting is about spreading love and uplifting the human spirit.

“I’ve always been deeply rooted spiritually,” Burrows said. “All stories are important. Music that touches on universal concepts is really important because it connects us all.”

sports Boca Raton FC heads to UPSL South Florida finals thanks to heroics by Michael Stone

Once again it took penalties, and once again it was goalkeeper Michael Stone who put the team on his back with four huge saves during the penalty kick shootout to send Boca Raton Football Club to the United Premier Soccer League South Florida Finals.

Boca Raton FC got on the board early when Maher Soua was able to easily get through the Red Force defense to give Boca Raton the early 1-0 at the half-hour mark.

From there, Boca Raton FC looked to create better opportunities with the passing game, getting to the Red Force defensive third with relative ease, but was unable to capitalize with another goal.

With Boca Raton leading in the second half, former Boca Raton FC defender, Scott Gordon equalized the game for Red Force with a great run down the right side to give Red Force FC the boost they needed early in the second half.

After a 45-minute lightning delay, the game resumed with both teams battling in what was one of the most competitive UPSL playoff matches of the season.

June 28 - July 4, 2019

Both teams played competitively, and with great chances. Stone made a few key saves late in the game to preserve the tie and send the game to penalties.

It took 11 penalty shots, but in the end, it was Stone who had the decisive goal and then block on the Red Force goalkeeper to propel Boca Raton FC to the Finals/

“I’m happy to be able to continue helping my team move on the UPSL playoffs,” Said Stone after the game. “We battle together as a team and to have the opportunity to fight for a trophy is all we ever wanted.”

“We had a good game,” added Boca Raton FC manager, Jim Rooney.

“Red Force was a complete team all around and gave us a great game. We battled for over 90 minutes and in the end, Stone was the decisive factor.”

Boca Raton FC will now face Hialeah City FC in the UPSL South Florida Championships this weekend.

Should, Boca Raton FC win, the Boys in Blue will fake the winner of the Central Florida Championship for the title of Best In Florida.

The Fighting Knights’ sideline will be balanced as Tornetta brings a wealth of coaching knowledge at multiple levels while Benzing is an up-and-coming coach fresh off an accolade-filled playing career.

“I couldn’t be more excited to announce the hiring of these two incredible coaches,” Richmond began. “Not only do they bring a championship mentality, but they also embody the values of Spirit, Service & Strength which are Lynn Athletics’ foundation for success. I am confident that our young ladies will be provided with the best coaching resources and the greatest level of support and motivation possible.”

Most recently, he spent the past two years as an assistant women’s lacrosse coach at NCAA Division I University of Delaware.

“Coach Tornetta brings a wealth of coaching experience along with a process-based approach to success,” Richmond continued. “His competitive nature, ability to motivate his athletes and his desire to create a positive team culture made him the perfect fit to help guide our new program to success. I feel lucky to have the opportunity to work alongside such a successful and tenured coach and know that his presence will help our program quickly rise in the national ranks.”

Before heading to Delaware, Tornetta was a veteran in the high school coaching ranks of Southeastern Pennsylvania. In girl’s lacrosse, he held a 458116-14 (.791) record over a 27-year high school coaching career at Great Valley and Owen J. Roberts (Pa.). Tornetta led teams to 11 league championships and two Pennsylvania state titles, was a seventime Girl’s Lacrosse Coach of the Year recipient and coached 24 All-Americans.

Tornetta is a 1982 graduate of West Chester University, completing a Bachelor of Science in Health and Physical Education degree.

Coach, Compliance Liaison, Campus Visit Coordinator and Game Scouting.

Aside from being a standout NCAA women’s lacrosse player, Benzing has coaching experience with starting a brand new program as she spent the past two years with the inaugural women’s lacrosse team at Maryville University.

“Coach Benzing stood out from the pack with her experience starting a first-year program, her success as a Division II athlete and her competitive drive and maturity,” Richmond added. “She will be an excellent role model for the student-athletes who will look to her for leadership and advice. She is hungry and anxious to progress her young coaching career and will bring great energy and positivity to our first-year team.”

Benzing went to Maryville after graduating from Lindenwood University in 2017. She earned her bachelor’s degree in English literature with a minor in nutrition. In addition to coaching at Maryville, she joined the team at St. Louis Samurai to help grow girl’s lacrosse in the Midwest.

During her two seasons with the LU Lions, Benzing was a two-time All-American, earning First Team honors in 2017 and Third Team laurels in 2016.

She was also named First Team All-South Region in 2017 and Second Team in 2016.

In 2017, she was honored as an IWLCA Senior All-Star, named to the RMAC All-Academic Team and voted the Lindenwood Lacrosse Offensive Player of the Year.
