Community Boca Regional Opens New Physical Rehabilitation Institute

Officials at Boca Raton Regional Hospital today announced the opening of its new, $14 million Gloria Drummond Physical Rehabilitation Institute (GDPRI). The 37,500 square-foot facility was created out of a lead gift from Elaine J. Wold and other philanthropic support, and is named after the Hospital’s founder, Gloria Drummond. It replaces what was formerly Boca Regional’s Davis Therapy Centers. “This is yet another stellar advance in our clinical capabilities and the transformation of our campus from a facilities standpoint,” said Jerry Fedele, President and CEO at Boca Regional. “The Institute presents an outstanding amalgam of programs, technology and expertise, all in a patient-centric environment that is most inviting.” The GDPRI offers an impressive spectrum of services that includes wound care with three hyperbaric oxygen therapy chambers; an accredited diabetes education and nutrition program; an ostomy care clinic; musculoskeletal physical and occupational therapy; cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation and in conjunction with the Hospital’s Marcus Neuroscience Institute, a robust neurological rehabilitation program with expanded therapeutic offerings for stroke, brain and spinal cord injury, Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, imbalance disorders and speech therapy.

The Institute is an important component of Boca Regional’s Sports Medicine Program, which also provides care to Florida Atlantic and Lynn University’s athletes. “With all our programs at the Institute, we place a premium on multi-disciplinary collaboration,” said Mindy Shikiar, Vice President for Ambulatory Services at the Hospital. “Our physicians, therapists, nurses, nutritionists and exercise physiologists have created integrated treatment programs and ensure that a patient’s family members and personal physician are true partners in the care being provided.” The latest and most advanced physical rehabilitation technology is a strong suit of the Gloria Drummond Physical Rehabilitation Institute. Leading this array is the Bioness Vector, an over-ground gait and safety system where patients are secured in a comfortable harness that is suspended from an overhead robotic trolley that moves with them during therapy. This eliminates the risk of falling and provides an unmatched sense of security and confidence during challenging treatment regimens. The Institute also now offers an aquatic therapy pool, an anti-gravity treadmill, a computerized speech lab and movement training with functional electrical stimulation. “Our goal is to return individuals who have been affected by injury or illness to the highest level of well-being and independent function as possible,” said Genie Lieberman, Director of the Institute. “Considering the caliber of our staff, equipment and environment, we have the utmost confidence in achieving just that for those who turn to us for care.”

Arthur C. Evans Jr., Ph.D., BA ’82, MA ’84, will receive the FAU Alumni Hall of Fame Award on Friday, May 5 at 9 a.m. In March, Evans became CEO of the American Psychological Association, the leading scientific and professional organization representing psychology in the United States. He previously served as commissioner of Philadelphia’s Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual Disabilities Services, where he realigned the agency’s treatment philosophy, service delivery model and fiscal priorities to improve health outcomes. Evans was named by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy as an Advocate for Action in 2015, and also received the Dr. Nathan Davis Award for Outstanding Government Service, the American Medical Association’s top award for government service in health care. Evans holds a doctorate in clinical and community psychology from the University of Maryland, and both a master’s and bachelor’s degree in psychology from FAU. Spring commencement also highlights the accomplishments of outstanding graduates, including: Ndjuma Joseph, 28, will become the first blind student to graduate from FAU’s Department of Music within the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters on Friday, May 5 at 1 p.m. Joseph was born with hip dysplasia that left her in a wheelchair her entire life. She later suffered complete vision loss after an accident in elementary school. After using music to help her cope with her disabilities, Joseph dreamed of becoming a music teacher, and FAU helped make her dream become a reality. With help from Student Accessibility Services and the Department of Music, Joseph learned Braille music notation to complete the music curriculum. Following graduation, she will work with the Industry for the Blind and the Miami Lighthouse for the Blind helping other students who are visually impaired find the proper resources to continue their education. Some interesting statistics regarding the spring graduating class include the fact that 101 of the degree recipients are over the age of 50. The oldest graduate is 68, and the youngest is 17. The graduates represent 50 countries.

EDITORIAL By C. Ron Allen

A Salute to All Volunteers As the month of April fades into the annals of our minds, let me personally thank all volunteers for their service. Regardless of the role you played, your contributions were immeasurable. It is a fact of life: Volunteers are needed every day and at many places in our community. All you have to do is look around Boca Raton and Delray Beach and ask yourself, what would my community be like without the power of volunteers? Many of our students would not be able to attend college because they did not get that scholarship that was provided by one of the many civic organizations such as the Rotary Club, Lions Club, Kiwanis or another similar organization. The same would be the fate of many food pantry shelves that would be un-stocked and let’s not forget the hospitals where the wait would be much longer. As volunteers, you give of yourself often at a personal sacrifice. You are there to fill gaps that would

otherwise go unfilled and you make up segment of our community that often go unrecognized. As I said in an earlier column, while we take a moment to inspire, recognize, encourage and thank those who give of themselves, let us also encourage others to seek out imaginative ways throughout the year to engage in their communities. Everyone has some talent or skill that is useful to some philanthropic organization, whether a school, church or a medical facility. And there are several nonprofit organizations that can always use a willing hand, as can the elderly couple on your block struggling to keep up with their yard or home maintenance. Then, there is the single mom or dad or a homebound friend. Whether your contribution is medical expertise, language skills or simply free time and empty hands, there are opportunities nearby for all sorts of people. As someone who has been giving of my time, talent and treasure for more than 30 years, I am often asked

why I do the things I do in my community. My reasons are varied. However, I find that whenever I invest time and sometimes money in a child, the world shifts a bit - not just for the community, but for me as well. The feeling of giving back, belonging and making a difference enriches our lives and strengthens our communities. One of the joys of volunteerism is that there are so many different ways to do it, and sometimes, we volunteer without even making conscious recognition of it — for example, helping out at church or coaching your child in a sport. There are so many studies that show the benefits of volunteering for a community, for the organizations with whom people volunteer and for the volunteers themselves. In fact, researchers have found that volunteering is good for the volunteers’ physical and mental health – in particular, the heart, lower blood pressure, less stress and even longer lives.

Studies also show that volunteering will benefit the volunteer’s career and that employees who volunteer are better employees. Volunteering, and living in a city of volunteers, is a win-win for everyone. It is the secret to being a more welcoming and engaged community. It also allows us to engage our youth, our young professionals and our seniors in meaningful ways to give back, engage and connect. You may be one of those who sit back in your arm chair or in your corporate boardroom and say, how much good can my little 60-minutes make? Or you may think that humble old you or your ordinary company doesn’t have something valuable to offer. To that I say, everyone has something to offer. Again, a heartfelt thanks to all of the volunteers in our community for making a difference every day. We simply could not do it without you.

POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Watch Out: You Are Being Observed! Wherever you go, there will always be people who will take notice of your presence. For a few moments, they make make you their “project” and pay attention to all your movements, just because they dispose of time, and you may appear “interesting” to them. Some may be attracted to good qualities you display, while others may consider you “suspicious” in some way, from the moment they set their eyes on you! Some of that may be due to whatever you may be wearing or carrying, or it may stem from the impression you may give of being lost at that location. It may be due to the pace of your walking which is different from the rate seen all around you, besides the countenance you display before the watching surroundings.

Reasons will vary everywhere, at any time of day or night, wherever you may find yourself. It’s not just in your neighborhood, or even in the seclusion of your own abode, that it can be said: “Big brother is watching you.” Obviously, some of those observation may be totally harmless, coming from people who have nothing else to do and, thus, just make it their pastime to pay extra attention to anyone who crosses their path at any public place where they happen to be. There’s also the danger posed by some who may be watching you, where you go, whatever you do, so as to follow you to the point of doing some harm to you. Your dressing may give them the impression of some wealth, the casual way you walk may

cause them to think you are lost, besides any other hint they take catch that can make you their prey. Besides, there may be some around, who may know you, somewhat, and are eager to find anything suspicious you may do, or any undesirable place you may enter, so as later to accuse you, or even bring any charges against you. Such attitudes don’t just affect celebrities, but also can rob anybody of their privacy and security. So, what can one do? How must a person act? Obviously, there is much one can’t avoid while in the public eye. There are plenty of malicious people in the world. Society abounds with evil people who don’t have anything better to do, who just spend their time looking for someone or some-

thing they may wrongfully accuse of being involved in some unsavory activity that never happened, or in a suspicious action which is fully inaccurate. The only answer is to walk circumspectly at all times, to behave honorably everywhere, and in all circumstances. In a sense we owe no one explanation, but there are people around who are ready to paint an inaccurate picture of us and gossip about a conduct twisted by them, which we did not manifest in any way. People can see things one way and report them in another, or they may completely misread and describe something without a reasonable foundation. Just remember: quite often, the actual is not the real, and one’s point of view always depends on his or her point of viewing!

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.

A special pairing helps lead veteran to graduation Palm Beach State College student Daniel O’Neal will graduate May 9 with an Associate in Science degree in paralegal studies. He won’t be walking across the stage alone though. He’s bringing a very dear friend with him. One who will also be wearing a cap and gown. His friend is a 6-year old male Siberian Husky named Ghost. Without him, O’Neal might not have ever graduated. “When I first became a student at Palm Beach State in 2008, I would come on campus and immediately leave,” said O’Neal. “I couldn’t even go out and eat lunch by myself. Many times, I would just starve.” O’Neal was suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder after serving in the military for 12 years. Early on in his service, he experienced a traumatic event. In 2004, he was sent to Iraq where he and his fellow servicemen got attacked one day. During the incident, O’Neal got shrapnel stuck in the back of his head and spent a month and a half recovering in the hospital. Other men in his group were also injured and one of them was even killed. “My memory is really bad because of those injuries now, but I am learning to adapt,” says O’Neal. For O’Neal, this threat to his life and other traumatic things one will experience during war led to the stress he felt when he tried to return to a normal life. “I needed help and I knew I had to do something about it if I wanted to reach my goals in life,” said O’Neal. After talking with his doctor, he decided to look for a service dog online. He

LINART BUSINESS SERVICES

was interested in the Siberian Husky breed and found one in Arkansas. After contacting the breeder, they flew Ghost down to O’Neal in 2011. However, upon arrival, Ghost was only three months old. O’Neal says he spent the next six months training him. “I would teach him to carefully watch my back when I was out in public,” says O’Neal. “This really helped alleviate a lot of my anxiety so I wouldn’t think that someone was going to come up behind me and try and hurt me. Eventually, I took him to campus with me and was able to stay, finish my classes and am now looking forward to finally graduating,” says O’Neal. O’Neal says that Ghost has not only helped him to earn a degree, he has helped improve his quality of life and alleviate his emotional numbness. “I was a more cold-hearted person before Ghost came along,” says O’Neal. “He has really helped soften my heart.” O’Neal says he has lost count of the number of times he gets stopped on campus by people wanting to pet Ghost. He says that even though people aren’t technically supposed to pet service dogs while on the job, he says these social interactions are a good thing. “The more Ghost gets exposed to people the more he can then help me feel comfortable and safe around people as well.” O’Neal, who grew up in West Palm Beach and currently works downtown in a part-time position for the state attorney’s office, hopes to enroll in law school and study animal law in the near future.

Sixth Annual Run For The Ribbons Florence Fuller Honors Men With At The Lynn Cancer Institute Caring Hearts The Eugene M. & Christine E. Lynn Cancer Institute at Boca Raton Regional Hospital will be conducting its sixth “Run for the Ribbons” on Sunday, June 4, 2017. With nearly 1,000 participants at last year’s event, momentum is building for this year’s 5K and one-mile run/walk. Proceeds will again support patients through special programs of the Lynn Cancer Institute’s League of Ribbons to help them in their fight against cancer. Cancer patients have many unique care issues that go beyond that of treatment. The League of Ribbons supports the non-clinical needs and challenges that patients and their families may encounter, such as providing gifts cards for groceries and gas for those facing financial hardships, health and wellness programs for patients and the community-at-large, guided imagery and yoga and massage therapy for cancer patients in treatment. Registration will be available starting at 6:00am on the day of the event for those unable to do so before the race. Warm up begins at 6:30am. The event begins at 7:00am at the Sandler Pavilion

at the Lynn Cancer Institute and the route passes through Old Floresta, Boca Raton’s most picturesque historic neighborhood. All participants will receive a finisher medal and race awards will be given to the top three runners in a range of age groups. Individuals of all ages are encouraged to participate and prices range depending on participant age and registration date. Runner’s Edge is managing the event and will be accepting race applications. Race packets will be available at their location at 3195 N Federal Highway in Boca Raton from May 26 through noon on June 3. T-shirts will be given to all pre-registered participants and postevent refreshments will be available. “The race has grown exponentially and continues to be one of the Hospital’s most anticipated community events,” said Darci McNally, MSW, LCSW, OSW-C, Director of Oncology Support Service and Community Outreach at the Lynn Cancer Institute. “The generous support of our sponsors and participants has helped to make this event a resounding success.”

By Staff Reports Twenty-eight men – considered the best among nonprofits in South Florida were recognized at a luncheon on Friday for making their communities better. Three however went home with the top honors: Gregory Fried, a well-known and respected jeweler of Gregory’s Fine Jewelry received the Tiffany & Co. Biggest Heart award; Jay DiPietro, president and general manager of Boca West Country Club for 31 years, was awarded the Lifetime Achievement and community servant C. Ron Allen was named the 2017 Outstanding Male Volunteer. “I am humbled and honored to accept this award on behalf of my board of directors and my team of volunteers who make what I do every day come so easily,” a surprised and speechless Allen said after the announcement. “I am grateful to Cliff and Eda Viner for their love and support, as we make sure the less fortunate children in our community have the necessary skills and tools to make it in life after high school.” Allen, editor of the Boca Raton Tribune and founder and CEO of KOP Mentoring Network, was nominated by the Eda & Cliff Viner Community Scholars Foundation, where he volunteers as a mentor. Few in South Florida are unfamiliar with Allen and his KOP Mentoring Network, formerly Knights of Pythagoras Mentoring Network. He has nearly single-handedly been the lifeline for more than 500 children over the past 25 years. The veteran journalist started the organization in 1991 to pull wayward youth off the streets in southern Palm Beach County. “Mr. C. Ron will give you the shirt of his back,” said Veronica Bowleg, a grandparent whose grandson has been in the program for more than five years. “A lot of people don’t know how hard he works for these kids. He uses much of his own money and spends most of his time trying to educate and give them exposure to things outside of the city.” To date, close to 700 students have participated in the KOP mentoring program and more than 4,000 have been impacted indirectly. More than 50 of them are in or have graduated from college, 14 are in the armed forces, three

are athletic coaches, two are serving in the U.S. Job Corps, one with the U.S. Peace Corps and one is employed with the U.S. Border Patrol. In the early 1990s, Allen led members of his Navy Reserve unit to adopt an elementary school and childcare center in Miami-Dade County. They also developed a mentoring program and donated a trailer, which they later transformed into a literacy center. In August 2015, he launched the South Florida Oratorical Academy and an Entrepreneur’s Academy to improve the mastery of our community’s youth public speaking and entrepreneurial skills. The following year, he launched a Financial Literacy academy and a STEAM academy. This summer, he will hold the Summer Enrichment Academy where members of Toastmasters’ International will work with students on overcoming their fear of public speaking, experts will lead sessions on robotics and they will take students on several educational field trips. To learn more about KOPMN, visit Knights of Pythagoras Mentoring Network on Facebook or call 561-665-0151. Also honored where Anas Ahmed, Nico Ulloa and Cadet Capt. Bennett Lax, three young men who are already making leaving their mark on the community through their volunteer efforts. Ahmed, a student at Palm Beach State College, earned 213 community service hours while at Atlantic High School where he volunteered for worthy causes such as tutoring his peers who were struggling with English language and volunteer at Manor Care Health Center. Ulloa has already logged 254 volunteer hours at places like Hands on Broward, where he bakes muffins and watches movies with families who are staying at the Ronald McDonald House while their children receive ling-care treatment. He also has spent many weekends leading volunteer teams in painting murals, landscaping and installing edible gardens to benefit at-risk youth. A graduating senior at Boca Raton High, Lax is the regimental commanding officer of the school’s Navy JROTC unit, which has garnered more than 15,000 community service hours this year. Lax also is a teaching assistant and active member of the youth group at Congregation B’Nai Israel, where he has been attending since preschool.

Less than 3% of cancer funding today goes toward childhood cancer research… it’s alarming how little funding they get.

Rejecting The Machiavellian Way Years ago, we hosted Michael Franzese as one of our event speakers. Franzese, who spent nine years in prison, explained his incarceration was the consequence of following a code of ethics. Not someone else’s code of ethics, or a society’s code of ethics, but his own, personally adopted code of ethics. As a former member of the notorious Mafia crime syndicate, Michael believed in, and followed, the Machiavellian code of ethics until his spiritual conversion. Niccolo Machiavelli was an Italian Renaissance historian, philosopher and writer. His last name spawned the negative term, “Machiavellianism.” In Machiavelli’s book, The Prince, this characterized highly unscrupulous politicians. Heessentially taught that anything is acceptable for pursuing self-interest and personal gain. This was the same perspective Franzese used to justify his actions before his life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ. If victimized by his crimes, however, I doubt you would have had an appreciation for his personalized code of ethics or how he rationalized the wrongful deeds for which he later repented. Sadly, we see similar beliefs and behavior in much of the business and professional world. You can learn a lot of things in today’s business schools, but one thing you cannot learn is a universally agreed-upon code of ethics. It’s almost like in the days of ancient Israel, referred to in Judges 21:25 – “In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” Although we do not hear the term as much these days, business gurus used to speak of “situational ethics,”

meaning to do whatever seemed appropriate at the moment for whatever goal or objective you desired to accomplish. Not much has changed today. Many people in the marketplace believe honesty and integrity are necessary only when it is expedient and serves their purposes. Is it any wonder that almost daily we hear or read news reports of gross ethical violations even at the top levels of some of our world’s most prestigious businesses and corporations? Without accepted standards for behavior and practice, everyone feels free to do what seems right in their own eyes. This is why the timeless teachings and truths of the Bible provide the most reliable guidelines: Wrongdoing will be punished. As Franzese discovered, believing one’s actions are justified does not give protection from consequences. “There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death”(Proverbs 14:12). “Food gained by fraud tastes sweet to a man, but he ends up with a mouth full of gravel” (Proverbs 20:17). God presents the ultimate standard. Our young people are being trained that truth is relative, that they should not judge others – and that others should not judge them. If we imagine communities filled with Machiavellians, we quickly see the flaw in that logic. “Honest scales and balances are from the Lord; all the weights in the bag are of his making” (Proverbs 16:11). Honesty and integrity provide security. If we strive to be honest in all our dealings, there is no need to conceal deceptions. “The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity” (Proverbs 11:3).

Glades Businesses Donate Equipment for PBSC Training

Join us for a delightful program of memorable music featuring scenes from The Mikado, H.M.S. Pinafore, Pirates of Penzance and other G&S favorites!

For venues and tickets, please call 954.641.2653 or visit www.MasterChoraleofSouthFlorida.org

Palm Beach State College has received equipment valued at nearly $100,000 from Everglades Agricultural Area business partners. Sugar Cane Growers Cooperative of Florida donated a $20,000 dump truck, Everglades Farm Equipment a $25,000 John Deere Stationary Power Unit, and Florida Crystals Corporation gifted a $50,000 tractor Tuesday to be used to train students in the College’s Heavy Equipment Mechanics program at the Belle Glade campus. Christopher Hardy, a graduate of the program, said, “Receiving my certificate from PBSC opened so many doors for me and I am grateful for those opportunities. I was at a dead-end job when I took a risk and began taking courses at PBSC. I now have a high-skill, high-wage job and a bright future ahead of me.” “These forward-thinking companies share our vision of ensuring that students are highly skilled and jobready when they graduate,” said PBSC President Ava L. Parker. “Their gifts will enable our students to work on equipment critical to local industries and allow us to do an even better job of providing a quality workforce for the region. We are grateful to our business community partners for these donations and excited that our Heavy Equipment Mechanics program will continue to grow.” “We are proud to partner with the Glades campus Heavy Equipment Mechanics program,” said James M. Shine, senior vice president of Sugar Cane Growers Cooperative of Florida. “This is the best way for us to be able to recruit local residents who have the technical skills that are so important to the success of our business. This holds true not just for the sugar industry but also for local farmers in the region and the supporting businesses. We are pleased to be a long term supporter of PBSC and believe

in the mission of providing the training to grow our workforce.” “When we were approached about making a donation to the Heavy Equipment Mechanics program, we jumped at the opportunity,” said Alleigh Schlechter Reitz, marketing manager of Everglades Farm Equipment. “We have deep roots in the Glades with my great grandfather starting the farms in the 1930s and the John Deere dealership in 1963. Today we are one of the largest dealerships in the southeast and that’s mainly due to the highly fertile farmland in the EAA. We love giving back to our community and growing our workforce creating local good paying jobs.” “Training programs like this one are so valuable for the Glades communities and for agricultural companies and job providers in the EAA,” said Billy Sanchez, assistant vice president of Florida Crystals. “We are delighted to help support Palm Beach State College, because they offer services to enrich the lives of their students and, at the same time, help train the local workforce for the highly skilled jobs offered by local farming companies.” The Heavy Equipment Mechanics program began at the West Tech Educational Center in Belle Glade and moved to PBSC’s Belle Glade campus in 2013. Currently, there are 17 students in the program with the opportunity to accept a maximum of 22. The career certificate program takes three years to complete and prepares students for good-paying jobs as mechanics or mechanics helpers working on truck, bus and diesel engines, mobile heavy equipment, construction equipment and industrial vehicles. Program Director Dr. Gloria McAllister noted that there is currently a 100% job placement rate for graduates of the program, with most securing jobs even before they graduate.

sports Boca Raton FC partners with Rotary to #EndPolioNow

Boca Raton FC has partnered with Rotary International to bring visibility to the “End Polio Now” campaign. The club is wearing an End Polio Now strip on its uniforms throughout the the 2017 season. Rotary is an international community that brings together leaders who step up to take on the world’s toughest challenges, locally and globally. The eradication of polio is one of Rotary’s longest standing and most significant efforts. Along with its partners, Rotary has helped immunize more than 2.5 billion children against polio in 122 countries. Rotary has helped to reduce polio cases by 99.9 percent worldwide and the organization is committed to continuing the campaign until the disease is ended for good. Boca Raton Football Club has won four straight American Premier

Soccer League (APSL) titles. In 2017 Boca Raton FC will compete in the APSL as well as the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) . Founded in 2015, Boca Raton has found success in its infant stages and has played international friendlies with the Jamaican National Team, The New York Cosmos, and European powerhouse, Shakhtar Donetsk. Boca Raton FC also has a High-Performance Academy, as well as a partnership with Barcelona Elite which gives Boca Raton a complete soccer pyramid effect that starts when a child is 7 years old until they are ready to turn professional. The visibility Boca Raton FC has developed not just in south Florida but globally in the last three years will help increase the visibility of the End Polio Now campaign in strategic areas.

Despite Valiant Effort, Boca Raton FC falls 1-0 in NPSL Opener Boca Raton FC opened its first NPSL Sunshine Conference season with a 1-0 loss at Ted Hendricks Stadium against Miami United FC, the reigning champions of the conference. Daniel Navarro’s sixth minute goal held up for the home side despite an excellent second half from Boca Raton FC. Leonardo Tavares made several outstanding saves particularly in the early going to keep Boca Raton within touching distance of Miami United. The home side continued to pile on the pressure in the first fifteen minutes but then the match settled into a rhythm which was more favorable to Boca Raton. The visiting side earned its first corner when captain Bruno Militz drove toward the byline in minute 25. Even though the resulting corner was cleared by Miami United, it allowed Boca Raton to finish the first half with more confidence, as the midfield began to keep possession more easily alleviating the intense pressure that the back four had experienced in the first fifteen minutes of the match. Ukrainian International Edmar was particularly influential in this period linking passes well from a withdrawn midfield role. Coming out of the locker room, Boca Raton created several chances early in the second half. In minute 47, Bernardo Gomes found John Contreras behind Miami United’s backline for the first Boca Raton scoring opportunity of the half. Minutes later Bernardo took a free kick which ended up going just wide of the near post.

For the first fifteen minutes of the second half, Boca Raton built up aggressively from the back, breaking down Miami United’s midfield and benefiting from precision balls played by Bernardo and Edmar to the feet of Militz and Contreras. Militz proved a handful for Miami United’s defense for much of the second half, finding pockets of space and exploiting it in a way to help stimulate Boca Raton’s attack. Boca Raton continued to create opportunities but Miami United’s defense did just enough to deny a goal. Miami United’s back four was tested in the second half particularly by Militz movement on the left flank and by the combination play of Gomes and Justin Wilbanks toward the right side. In the end however, Boca Raton could not find an equalizer though the performance demonstrated a statement of intent as the club has joined the NPSL Sunshine Conference this season. These same two teams will meet at the same venue in US Open Cup First Round play on May 10. “We feel good about our performance particularly in the second half when we kept the ball well and were dangerous going forward. It was neat to play in front of such a good crowd with a great atmosphere tonight, and we look forward to playing in front of our fans in the next game” said Militz. Boca Raton plays its first home NPSL match at the Shipyard on May 12 against Kraze United.
