Move To Boca Raton Creates a Tennis Star

By: Michael Demyan

Lauren Davis left everything she knew in her hometown of Gates Mills, Ohio to pursue her professional tennis dreams in Boca Raton when she was only 16-years-old. Tennis had been a passion of hers from a young age and she was determined to break into the spotlight. “I played my first tournament when I was nine years old,” Davis recalled. “I made it to the finals and ended up losing. I still have a picture from that day.” Continue on page 14

• The Boca Raton Tribune, in partnership with the City of Boca Raton’s Office of Economic Development, recently launched a corporate appreciation luncheon that aims to recognize Boca based companies for their valuable contributions to the city’s corporate community. • For the second straight year, the Florida Atlantic University women’s soccer team will lift the lid on their season at FAU Stadium, home of the football Owls, as they kick off the 2017 campaign on August 18 versus Florida at 7 p.m. • Faith-based foster care organization Place of Hope is set to expand their housing as six acres of land is being cleared on Boca Rio Road. Those six acres of land will partly be used to house teenagers in their foster care program once they reach 18 years of age. Once a child turns 18 and leaves foster care, they are suddenly on their own. With the construction of the building it will allow those teens to continue to have a place they can call home. • The Boca Raton Airport will install a permanent noise monitor in a residential community just west of Military Trail. • Six acres are being prepared for the first Place of Hope building with eight, two-bedroom apartments that will house foster care teens who have aged out of the system at 18 and have no place else to go. • Boca West Community Charitable Foundation, which provides grants and volunteers to 25 community non-profit programs that serve local children, has provided funds, instructors, and volunteers for a variety of 2017 summer programs. • Modernizing Medicine’s landing of $231 million in venture capital in May was among the top 10 deals in the country in the second quarter, according to the MoneyTree Report released this week. The Boca Raton company’s venture capital raise swelled Florida’s numbers for the quarter to $291.1 million invested in 16 deals. That compares with $85.7 million in 25 deals in the second quarter last year, according to the report. • Penny Morey was installed as Rotary Club Downtown Boca installs first woman president

• A Palm Beach County network of education institutions under the umbrella of Florida Atlantic University was recognized by Google for its innovative approach to teaching through technology, the first in the state to earn the honor. • After over two decades as the Traffic Engineer for Palm Beach County, George Webb is retiring. MPO chair, Susan Haynie, vice-chair, Hal Valeche, and MPO executive director, Nick Uhren joined with the entire MPO governing board in thanking George for his impact on our transportation infrastructure over his tenure and wished him well in his future endeavors. • Shoppers, diners, and visitors to Downtown Boca’s Mizner Park now have the opportunity to brush up on their short game at the new Putt’n on the Plaza.

Community Boca High Student Mastering the Art of Public Speaking Through Toastmasters Shanterria Hughes has no qualms rattling off her long-term goals in life. And the aspiring FBI criminologist feels just as comfortable speaking to one person as she is in front of a group of 40. The rising 11th grader at Boca Raton High School credits her recent involvement with Toastmasters International with bolstering her confidence. “Every time we deliver a speech, we get feedback on what we did right, what we could have done better and tips and suggestions on how to improve,” she said. In five weeks, Toastmasters has given her confidence and her English and grammar has greatly improved. “I think it has helped to develop my leadership skills when communicating,” she said. “I also want to be a person who is able to speak out and air my views respectfully and with confidence in social situations.” For the last six weeks several members from the local Toastmasters International clubs have been spending time with Hughes and her peers in the 2017 Summer Enrichment Academy at Delray Beach. The seven-week program, run by KOP Mentoring Network, is held at Village Academy. The 18 or so students make three-minute presentations, after which their peers and the professionals offer constructive criticism.

“They help us to become better speakers,” said Isiah Morris, 9, who has been looking forward to Monday mornings. “They teach us to how not to use words like “ah” and “um” when we are speaking because those are crutches or lazy words.” Barry Doctor, of Toastmasters International, said personal development is critical and Toastmasters allows the students to grow in their speaking and leaderships aspects. “People learn better in a relaxed environment,” he said, adding that “the essence of Toastmasters is to create that non-threatening environment where the students can improve their speaking skills.” Toastmaster groups can be found across the world, but groups specifically for young people are rare, Doctor said. There are high school groups, but not many for people younger than that, he added. C. Ron Allen, CEO of KOP Mentoring Network, said because communication skills are important in all areas of life, he wanted the students to learn the skills early to become successful later. “I’ve watched the interaction between them and the presenters and I have seen such an improvement in their confidence level,” Allen said. “What Toastmasters has done is provided a safe place for these potential public speakers to fail and learn from it.”

FAU’s Division of Research Affiliates with DKJA

The Institute for Sensing and Embedded Network Systems Engineering (I-SENSE) within Florida Atlantic University’s Division of Research has entered into an agreement with the Donna Klein Jewish Academy (DKJA) to permit DKJA high school students who are interested in engineering, computer science, and technology to participate in tours, seminars and research training opportunities on the FAU campus. The DKJA Engineering Program, which will begin in August, will be offered to students enrolled in an engineering and science-based curriculum at DKJA’s Claire and Emanuel G. Rosenblatt High School. The affiliation with I-SENSE will allow these students the opportunity to visit research laboratories, attend seminars and engage with current students and faculty. Participants also will be able to design individual and group projects, conduct research and participate in an on-campus showcase to present their work. “Identifying impactful ways to engage with our community and to inspire the next generation of engineers and scientists is a core tenet of our mis-

www.bocaratontribune.com

sion,” said Jason Hallstrom, Ph.D., director of I-SENSE. “Our partnership with the Donna Klein Jewish Academy will create opportunities for DKJA students to be inspired by FAU’s thought leaders, and for our thought leaders to in turn be inspired by the coming generation.” Students in the program will be required to take a minimum of two years of engineering courses and one year of computer science courses at Rosenblatt High School. After one full year of participation in the FAU program, students who have successfully completed all requirements will receive a Certificate of Completion and Academic Excellence in the Engineering Program. “Our affiliation with I-SENSE and the tremendous team of professionals at FAU will provide our students with wonderful opportunities for learning and growth as aspiring engineers,” said Helena Levine, head of school at DKJA. “This initiative is key to expanding our offerings in engineering, computer science and technology, and we are thankful to I-SENSE Director Jason Hallstrom for his extraordinary work and partnership.”

Palm Beach International Airport FAU Appoints Stella Batalama as Voted One of Best Airports by Dean of College of Enginering and Travel and Leisure Magazine Computer Science

By: Bryanna Basilio Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) has been named 9th best domestic airport in the U.S. by Travel and Leisure magazine. The criteria measured airports based on check-in and security, access, restaurants and bars, shopping, and design. PBI has a longstanding history in South Florida dating back to 1936 when it was known as Morrison Field. Named after Grace K. Morrison, a pioneer in early planning and organizing of the field. Not only was Morrison the first woman pilot to fly solo in Palm Beach County, she was also president of the Palm Beach County Airport Association, playing a pivotal role in the development of PBI. The real impact of Morrison Field occurred during the outbreak of World II. In 1940, the U.S. Army converted Morrison Field for military purposes, Following Pearl Harbor, Morrison Field oversaw 6,200 military planes and 45,000 fliers. After the war, the airport operated as a civilian airport and the name was changed to Palm Beach International

Airport for tourism and business growth. PBI operated as a civilian airport until September 1951, during the Korean War, when the Air Force reactivated Morrison Air Force Base. Civilians and the passenger terminal were relocated to the south side of the field. All military usage of the airport ended in 1959. By 1988, the 600,000 square foot terminal was dedicated. The airport has 28 aircraft gates with room for 24 additional gates in the possible future. PBI has almost 200 daily non-stop arrivals and departures to more than 25 destinations in the U.S, Canada and the Caribbean on its 13 airlines. Travel and Leisure is not the first source to award Palm Beach International Airport. In 2013 PBI received the Airport with the Most the Unique Services award by Airport Revenue News due to their putting green, kids’ play area, and rotating art exhibit . In 2015 PBI received the Conde Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Award for being the fifth Best Domestic Airport, Conde also named PBI sixth Best Airport in the U.S. the following year. PBI was among the Top 5 Medium Sized Airports by 2016 Travelers Choice Award from TripAdvisor. In 2016, PBI was named Best TSA Checkpoint in the U.S. by J.D. Power and among the Top 5 Highest Ranked Airports for Ease and Accessible Parking and Getting to the Terminal by Airport Revenue News.

Trolley Takes History Seekers Back to the Early 1900’s in Delray Beach Have you ever wondered what Delray Beach was like before now, where people gathered, how they lived, where everyone came from, what they thought, what was here and what they did? How about why we are so different from the average Florida town? Well, officials at the Spady Cultural Heritage Museum are inviting you to hop onto their Ride & Remember History Trolley Tour and learn from their talespinner. Riders will get a chance to see Delray Beach in a whole new way as they enjoy the history and culture of the city first hand. They will learn about the personalities and events that shaped the city’s growth and character. The two-hour narrated tour begins at 10 a.m. on the second Saturday of each month at the Spady Museum, 170 NW 5th Ave., in the West Settlers

Historic District. Riders will also tour the Museum, which is the former home of Solomon D. Spady, the most prominent black teacher and activist in Delray Beach from 1922 to 1957. As guests are guided through the city’s five historic districts, they will disembark at select signature sites for a closer look. “Sometimes we stop at the Historical Society, sometimes we stop at the Sandoway House Nature Center and sometimes we stop at the [1926 family owned and operated] Colony Hotel,” said Charlene Farrington, the museum’s executive director. “Everywhere we stop is a historical structure

because the idea is to look at historical architecture inside and out. My speech is pro-preservation.” Other stops include Old School Square, which houses the former 1925 Delray High School, now the Crest Theatre; the 1913 Delray Elementary School, now Cornell Museum; Creative Art School, the Field House and the Pavilion. Old School Square was the most visited cultural landmark in Palm Beach County from 2014 to 2015, according to the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County, one of the sponsors of the tour. Other sponsors are the Board of Palm Beach County Commissioners and the Tourist Development Council. This historic trolley tour is such

a great way to get an overview of the history surrounding Delray Beach. “There are a lot of new people in our community now and some of them are interested in knowing the history of where they now live,” Farrington said. Kristen Cox took her family on the tour and she was so impressed by what she learned. “I got a lot of value from it,” she said. “You get to know the history of Delray Beach.” This tour is a must for natives, residents, winter residents or visitors. It also is a wonderful activity for house guests and business travelers, and part of their education for anyone who makes their living in Delray Beach. C. Ron Allen can be reached at crallen@delraybeachtribune.come or 561665-0151.

POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Be the Best That You Can Be! True human greatness is not measured by how high an individual rises in personal and professional life, nor in the size of one’s personal material wealth. One’s individual value is better determined by the size of one’s heart and the right actions that proceed from valid convictions of a person! There must be flexibility manifested by one who can be and do well at whatever activity or level a person happens to be, while not losing touch with others less favored! Those who may have reached the highest levels of success in any vocation or profession, must know how to relate to peers and to subordi-

nates in genuine humbleness, instead of irrelevant arrogance. As I once read, those who presume to be the “top banana” should never cut themselves off from the whole bunch! A position of authority in any enterprise does not require nor demand isolation of its occupant from all others who are contributing, at many levels, to the success of a project. In fact, such success is only achievable when true, broad cooperation exists among peers and principal in leading an organization, advancing a project, or creating some new thing of special significance. People need people, and those

who learn to collaborate with one another have the greatest chances of accomplishing significant projects. It’s from those around that new ideas, unique perspectives, and awareness of consequences can be freely shared! On the road to success, whether personal, or of a project we’re engaged with, difficulties and mishaps are ever present. Even actual failure often attempts to be an impediment to final completion of what one is involved with. Yet, failure per se is seldom final to those determined to succeed. Thus, it needs not be viewed as permanent whenever it may occur! The problem is

that too many persons give-up too soon; they prefer to dwell in gloom than to seek creative ways to repair and remake what can be corrected. As history testifies, there has been much through the ages that has been brought from the ashes into new, productive use. What is so quickly discarded loses the chances of being re-examined, restored, and even brought to greater usefulness. Yet, only the best people know this, and can act with understanding that brings the desired success!

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.

Robert’s Community Report By Robert Weinroth

• While Governor Rick Scott has not relocated to Boca Raton, his regular visits to our city are clearly an indication that he likes what he sees. Last week, he came to Boca Raton to highlight one of our city's greatest success stories, Modernizing Medicine, one of the fastest-growing tech companies in South Florida. The Governor announced a further expansion at Modernizing Medicine, which would result in the creation of 800 new jobs in our city! Modernizing Medicine, in case you haven’t heard, developed an electronic medical records and data system for specialty physicians, throughout the United States. • Daniel Cane and Dr. Michael Sherling founded the company in 2010. Already employing 550 people, this “home-grown” company has demonstrated startup’s can attract the necessary venture capitol to succeed in grand fashion. • While in the City Boca Raton, Governor Scott made a side trip to our Police Services department. Greeted by Chief Dan Alexander and his command staff, the Governor was given a tour of the facilities and spoke about his commitment to public safety. • This week, the fourth class of medical residents arrived in our community as they continue their education. When Boca Raton Regional Hospital opened its doors to the first class of Internal Medicine Residents in 2014, their welcome extended beyond the halls of the Hospital. Dozens of civic-minded individuals joined together to create The Resident Physician Community Partnership provides social support and mentorship to the residents and their families. • The Partnership interacts with the residents on issues of importance to the lives of the residents beyond that of their training. The Partnership develops key friendships between residents and doctors, which can be used to share insight, experience and advice on a host of matters. The Partnership is a win-win for everyone involved. • Hundreds of families lined up waiting for an opportunity to select school supplies at the annual Boca Chamber Festival Days Back to School Bash sponsored by Spirit of Giving and Bell Rock Capital (with support from many organizations providing information and a multitude of services). Volunteers from Boca Raton Regional Hospital, Junior League of Boca Raton and In Jacob's Shoes (providing over 2,000 new and gently used pair of shoes) fostered an amazing outpouring of community spirit with over 4,000+ at risk children. The opportunity to begin school with new supplies so that they have the tools they need to learn is an invaluable gift. • We participated in the first annual Tri-County Animal Rescue Telethon. TCAR partnered with CBS 12 News for a first ever, Live Telethon. Notwithstanding the unexpected formation of Tropical Storm Emily, the station gave the telethon ongoing exposure with segments throughout the day. Along with Heather Shaw (soon to be competing at the 10th Annual Ballroom Battle for the George Snow scholarship on August 18th), we joined community volunteers taking calls throughout the day to help TCAR replenish its Emergency Medical Fund, which provides life-saving services for animals in their care. • As executive Director, Suzi Goldsmith explained, animals often come to them from deplorable conditions. The Emergency Medical Fund allows TCAR to save countless animals, many rescued from "kill" shelters. As a 100%

Rotary Club of Downtown Boca Raton Names First Woman President

no-kill shelter, TCAR receives no funding to continue its mission, relying, instead, on the generous support from the community. If you missed the telethon, call TCAR today at 561.482.8110.

• Virtually everyone in our community has been touched by mental illness. Rita Thrasher has made it her mission to make it OK to take the subject public. Through Boca’s Promise / Boca Brave her mission has been to have a conversation about mental illness and suicide as a first step to helping people find help. Thrasher hosted a dinner where she and her daughter, Marla, invited community leaders to discuss initiatives Boca Brave should to mount to identify mental health needs and resources in Boca Raton and Palm Beach County and provide education and awareness activities for early identification and access to services. If you are in need of help or information, for yourself or someone you know, you can dial 211 to be connected with someone who can provide assistance. • A quick reminder, with the summer rains come puddles. Puddles are breeding ground for mosquitoes and mosquitoes are, potentially, carriers of the Zika virus. Drain and cover around your residence or business to keep us all safe. Kudos to State Rep Emily Slosberg as she takes her fight to make texting while driving a primary offense to “the people.” Over the past few weeks she has crisscrossed the state seeking the support of municipal governments in her quest to get a hearing for her bill, which, during the previous regular legislative session in Tallahassee failed to get out of committee. The City of Boca Raton and Delray Beach have each supported her effort with resolutions. • Slosberg, who 20 years ago was seriously, injured in an accident which left her sister and 4 other teens dead, has taken up the campaign, begun by her father, former State Rep Irv Slosberg, in reducing the carnage on our highways. Emily has also focused attention on a law permitting a child to be left in an unattended vehicle for up to 15 minutes. Given the extreme heat in South Florida and the oft-repeated tragedy of children dying from its effects, Slosberg believes the duration needs to be significantly reduced. • If you bump into Doug Mosley he’s probably has a big grin on his face. As he tells it, he and his staff came up with the idea of creating a competition to select the person to perform the National Anthem at the Boca Raton Bowl (mark your calendars for December 19th at 7PM at the FAU Stadium for the 4th playing of the Boca Raton Bowl). The idea of creating a contest where Palm Beach County residents would vie for top honors sounded good but who knew if the community would embrace it. Well, embrace it they did. First with over 8,000 online votes cast to select 8 finalists from 20 selected applicants. Then, as part of the Boca Chamber Festival Days celebration, an “Idol” competition which took the 8 finalists down to three and finally, the one winner, in front of a standing room only audience at the Tilted Kilt Restaurant.

By: Michael Demyan Longtime Rotary Club of Downtown Boca Raton member Penny Morey was named the club’s new president on June 23 and now has already completed her first month in the position. After a long history with the Rotary Club, Morey joined the Downtown Boca Raton chapter in 2014. She became the fifth president of the club at their installation dinner at Broken Sound Club, taking over for Lewis Fogel, who was installed last June. “I liked the fact this club focuses on health and wellness,” she said. “That helped me make a decision that this was the right club for me.” When the first Rotary Club was founded in 1905, women were not allowed to join and it was not until 1987 that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that no one can be turned away due to their gender. That same year, Sylvia Whitlock became the first woman to be named president when she was installed at the Rotary Club of Duarte. Moving forward to 2017, Morey is now the first woman president at the Rotary Club of Downtown Boca Raton, which is now entering its sixth year since it was founded. “I see this as another opportu-

nity to say women are fully capable of leading,” she said. “I’m very proud that they selected me early on to be the president elect nominee and to move into the president’s chair. It was a huge honor.” Her first month has gone well as she has had multiple people approach her to tell her how much they like some of the format changes she has made, but not everything can always go smoothly for the leader of a group of people. “I had hoped to shorten our board meetings – I failed miserably at shortening the first one,” she said followed by a laugh. “But we’ve got such a wonderful group.” The Rotary Club is meant to give an opportunity for business professionals to make friends and connections, while using their skills to make their community a better place. Morey has been a standout on both ends. She started her professional career in New York as the director of the New York State Assembly Intern Program. Among her many achievements, she created the Human Capital Services consulting practice for CBIZ in 2001 and was later recognized by CBIZ for her accomplishments. Six years later, Morey went on to found RemarkAble HR, which provides “solutions for human resource, employment matters and executive recruiting.” Just like her successes in her professional career, Morey has been very active in the community as she was a nominee for the Junior League Woman Volunteer of the Year Award in 2004. She also served as the board president of the Boca Raton Children’s Museum for 13 years. Her work within the community made her the perfect fit for the position at the Rotary Club. Now under her direction, the club will look forward to multiple causes such as Alzheimer’s prevention and the Josh the Otter program, which teaches children how to swim at a young age. She also hopes to get the youth more involved with the Rotary Club by interacting with the middle and high school programs.

• Congratulations to all of the contestants -- a great performance by one and all! Nick Aquilino took top honors so he will be on the field performing the National Anthem at the big game. A big thanks to Samir Changela for opening his restaurant to this inaugural event. Susan Diener and Ann Rutherford appreciated the generosity of the audience whose contributions will help buy more school supplies for the children who missed the Back to School Bash.

Sarah Pearson Promoted in The Boca Chamber

By: Gabriel Diaz The Boca Chamber has recently promoted Sarah Pearson to be the new Executive Vice President of the Boca Chamber. Pearson, who was previously working in a chamber in Oregon, has been with the Boca Chamber for seven years where she served as Senior Vice President of External Relations. She currently holds over 10 years of experience in the industry. “Sarah’s talent and contributions have been invaluable to our organization.” said Troy McLellan, President and CEO of the Boca Chamber. “Her innovative thinking and vision will continue to enhance the strategic direction and growth of our Chamber.” Pearson credits much of her success to McLellan, who she sees as her mentor. “I would like to thank my mentor, Troy McLellan for taking me under his wing, and for investing his time on me and on my development.” The Boca Chamber is in charge

of making sure that business thrives in Boca Raton. Pearson says that the chamber achieves this by “looking at workforce development, education in the area, and crime rate” amongst many other things “to make sure everything looks good and makes businesses want to come and stay in Boca.” The mission of the Boca Chamber is “To promote and sustain economic prosperity in Boca Raton and South Palm Beach County” something which the chamber has done pretty well. “Everything that we do is to help ensure that business is prosperous in Boca Raton.” Pearson added, “this year we would like to work more closely with city officials to ensure that all of our businesses’ needs are met in order to promote economic growth in Boca.” Pearson is very dedicated to making the Boca Chamber one of the greatest chambers. “I love what I do, it’s in my blood” she said. Her first plan of action is to get a five-star rating in their new rigorous accreditation process. This long process is done by the U.S Chamber, and it involves pulling back up to 10 years of records as well as looking at the one, five, and 10 year strategic plans amongst many other things. “We will not settle for anything under five stars this year” declared Pearson. Pearson looks to become CEO of a chamber in the far future, and stated that she would like to stay in Florida because “we are a very pro business minded state thanks to our great Governor.”

“Dunkirk” a Relentless War Movie

‘You Are Now Entering The Mission Field’

Editor’s Note: We are deeply saddened by the loss of our beloved entertainment writer Skip Sheffield in late-July. This was the final movie review Skip sent to us, and we are honored to place this in the paper one last time in memory of our friend. We will have a Special Edition dedicated to Skip on the week of August 25. If you want to send your memories or photos of skip, please email them to pheizer@bocaratontribune.com “Dunkirk” is a war film that just won’t quit. From the first frames to the finale, “Dunkirk” is all action, all the time. Writer-director Christopher Nolan captures the desperate plight of 400,000 Allied troops, from France, Belgium, England and Canada in that dark time from May 26 to June 4, 1940 on the northwest coast of France. The film unfolds in real-time fashion. The surrounded men are helpless and pretty much hopeless. Their only defense was hotshot British Spitfire fighter planes, with Farrier (Tom Hardy) offering us a point of view. On the beach we have Cillian Murphy and Mark Rylance repre-

senting the grunts and Kenneth Branagh as their Commander Bolton. “Dunkirk” occurred before the Pearl Harbor attack of Dec. 7, 1941 forced the United States into the Second World War. For that reason the desperate stand-off between Allied and German forces is little-known in America. Britishborn writer-director Christopher Nolan (the “Batman” Dark Knight Series and “Inception”) has corrected that oversight. “Dunkirk” is relentless, underscored by a fiery score by Hans Zimmer. This is not light entertainment, but it is a vivid history lesson, building to a climax of ragtag civilian boats coming from England, just 26 miles away. It is impossible not to be moved by Winston Churchill’s famous speech on British resolve to never surrender. In this case it is spoken by a British Army grunt, reading from a newspaper account. That is a fitting touch.

When you hear the term “mission field,” what comes to mind? Typically we think of a distant land, with people living in an alien culture, speaking an unfamiliar, even strange language. Have you ever thought about the mission field that exists right outside your office or cubicle, or the people you will encounter during your next sales call? Years ago, a friend of mine, Ken Johnson, established a ministry to business owners and top executives. One of his goals was to help each member recognize that they were missionaries – in their office buildings, manufacturing plants, and sales territories. In fact, Ken had little signs printed that he gave to everyone affiliated with his Christian Network Teams. The signs read, “You are now entering the mission field.” Nowhere does the Bible specify that the only people who qualify as “missionaries” are those under the direct authority of a church or mission agency, or that their income must be generated solely through charitable contributions. For that reason, a business or professional person working with individuals who do not claim to be followers of Jesus Christ can rightly consider himself or herself a missionary. When Jesus commissioned His followers near the end of His time on earth, He directed them to “therefore go and make disciples of all nations… teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:19-20). Nowhere in this command did He indicate this must be done only within an institutional, religious

context. Similarly, in Acts 1:8 Jesus declares where serving others in His name should take place: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” In saying this, Jesus was describing the entirety of the known world at that time. He was instructing His followers, “Tell people about Me wherever you go, whether it is in the office next door, your neighborhood, across the city, or in a totally different part of the world.” Thinking about this, it indicates that regardless of the source of our incomes, we are charged to serve as representatives of Jesus Christ – what CBMC calls “marketplace ambassadors” – wherever we go. We do not need a specific call to leave our professions or move to another part of the world. As someone has wisely said, God wants us to get involved with other people where we are – because we obviously cannot serve God where we are not. Over its nearly 90 years of existence, CBMC has seen many thousands of men and women come to know Jesus Christ in a life-changing way, and many of them have grown to become faithful and zealous ambassadors for Him not only in their own cities and nations, but also wherever they travel and conduct business. A literal translation of Matthew 28:19 is, “As you are going, make disciples (followers) of Jesus.” Wherever we go – wherever opportunities God provides take us – we are to serve Him and reach out to others with His Good News.

Charlotte’s Travels Grand Opening party for Anti-Aging Center

Opening of Pompano Beach Cultural Center I attended the opening night performance of the show “1984 at the new Pompano Beach Cultural Center. A beautiful building with a theater, rooftop party room and host to several interesting coming shows including Vanilla Ice in 80s tour and Clint Black among others.

Hopping for the MS Cure I attended the hopping for the MS cure outdoor event last week held in the parking lot of the Clive Daniel furniture store. Many Boca familiar faces were in the crowd supporting the fundraiser for multiple sclerosis. There was a contest for the best hopscotch drawn by members of the crowd along with a hopping hopscotch contest. Several vendors were on hand to support this very worthy cause. Kudo’s to Clive Daniel Furniture.

I attended the opening night party at the new Anti Aging Center on Palmetto Park Road where Director Nina Presman does body sculpting with a new one of a kind machine. A very large crowd enjoyed food and drinks and great raffle prizes of which I won a free filler treatment from Boca plastic surgeon, Dr. Handel.

Tri County Humane Society Event at Hooter’s

A busy week took me to the Tri County Humane Society event at Hooter’s, where many of the guests had four legs. So many sweet dogs were in attendance for this worthwhile fundraiser. Great food and great fun watching all of the doggies do their thing. Kudo’s to Sharon DiPietro, chairman of the humane society for putting on this event.

sports Lynn Volleyball Claims AVCA Team Academics Award

For the 12th consecutive year, Lynn University’s volleyball team has been rewarded for its continued dedication in the classroom, earning a 2016-17 American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Team Academic Award. The AVCA announced 831 teams to receive the Team Academic Award for the 201617 season, breaking the 2015-16 record of 764 programs. “I’m very proud of the team’s success and hard work in the classroom,” said head coach Adam Milewski. “We have fantastic professors at Lynn University and a great academic support system in our Athletics department.” The award, which was initiated in the 1992-93 academic year, honors collegiate and high school volleyball teams that displayed excellence in the classroom during the school year by maintaining at least a 3.30 cumulative team grade-point average on a 4.0 scale or a 4.10 cumulative team GPA on a 5.0 scale. The Fighting Knights logged a 3.49 team GPA for the academic year,

joining 117 other NCAA Division II honorees, including six from the Sunshine State Conference. Individually, senior setter Marissa Tandron led the way and was awarded with a CoSIDA First Team Academic All-American selection at the conclusion of last season. Tandron became the fifth Academic All-American in program history and just the third to be chosen to the first team. The AVCA Team Academic Award, celebrating its 25th year, is the single largest award offered by quantity of schools, players and coaches honored. Since the 2000-2001 season, the number of recipients have increased every single year but two, while amassing a 541 team increase over the span of the last decade. Since the award's inception in 1993, the amount of award winners has increased from 62 to its current number of 831. The Fighting Knights, coming off their first NCAA postseason appearance since 2010, kick off the new season on Sept. 1 in Daytona Beach, Fla.

Move To Boca Raton Creates a Tennis Star

By: Michael Demyan Lauren Davis left everything she knew in her hometown of Gates Mills, Ohio to pursue her professional tennis dreams in Boca Raton when she was only 16-years-old. Tennis had been a passion of hers from a young age and she was determined to break into the spotlight. “I played my first tournament when I was nine years old," Davis recalled. "I made it to the finals and ended up losing. I still have a picture from that day. I have a big frown on my face and a few tears rolling down my face. I was, and am, super competitive.” Years later, something happened that would go on to change her career forever. While playing in the 2008 US Open Junior Championship, tennis coach John Evert, brother of retired tennis star Chris Evert, invited her to train on a trial period at the Evert Tennis Academy in Boca Raton. After only a few days of training, Davis knew it was the place for her and just months later, Boca Raton became her new home. It was not an easy transition, but after she settled in, she never looked back. Her success only continued from there. Many tennis players only dream of making a grand slam, but Davis has been able to play in all four. “Playing in the grand slams is what every tennis player dreams of, so I’m honored and proud to have done that,” she said. “Now the next step is getting deep in the slams.” Not to say it has all been easy for Davis. Standing at 5-feet-2 inches, she is well below the average height of the top 10 ranked players in the Women’s Tennis Association. No. 1 ranked Karolina Pliskova is 6-foot-1, while the shortest of the group is 5-foot-6 Simona Halep. Height can often provide an advantage through increased power and bounce when serving the ball, however Davis does not think of that as an obstacle.

“I wouldn’t say that I’m an underdog,” she said. “What I lack in height I make up for with my speed and movement around the court. I use my legs to generate the power and my competitive spirit to win.” Her ultimate goal is to be one of those top 10 ranked players, but there was a time last year when Davis actually thought about walking away from it all. She decided to hang up the rackets during a six-week sabbatical as she spent some time back in Ohio. “I took a step away from tennis and tried to see things from a different perspective,” she said. “I was so tired and burnt out at the time that I felt I could take a year or two off. But as weeks went by, I started missing playing more and more. The time away made me realize and appreciate just how much I enjoy playing tennis and how blessed I am to be able to play the sport that I love every single day.” Davis’ rank had fallen to No. 122, the lowest it had been since her second professional year in 2012, but she aggressively returned to the sport, improving to No. 61 by the end of December. Her success has only continued from there by defeating Ana Konjuh for her first WTA title in January at the ASB Classic. “God couldn't have chosen a better first WTA tournament for me to have won,” she said. “Winning the ASB classic in Auckland was an incredible feeling. I fell in love with the city, the people and the tournament. It was an amazing feeling being able to win my first title at one of my favorite tournaments.” Now with that first title under her belt, currently No. 34 ranked Davis is ready to push for the coveted top 10 spot with an interesting strategy - having fun. “Enjoying myself on and off the court has been the biggest contributor to my success. When you’re happy off the court, you’ll perform well on the court.” Zach Evans contributed to this story
