The downtown area could soon be getting a couple of new apartment buildings as a proposal from FCI Residential is currently undergoing the final stages of review by the City of Boca Raton.

The proposed area, called Camino Square, would feature two mid-rise apartment buildings which would sit between parking garages. In order to build the apartments, remaining stores in the shopping center off of West Camino Real and South Dixie Highway would need to be moved. The center currently lacks a major store after the local Winn-Dixie was closed.

COMMUNITY FCI Residential Proposes Luxury Apartment Plans for Downtown

By: Michael Demyan

The downtown area could soon be getting a couple of new apartment buildings as a proposal from FCI Residential is currently undergoing the final stages of review by the City of Boca Raton.

The proposed area, called Camino Square, would feature two midrise apartment buildings which would sit between parking garages. In order to build the apartments, remaining stores in the shopping center off of West Camino Real and South Dixie Highway would need to be moved. The center currently lacks a major store after the local WinnDixie was closed. Its former building has been left abandoned.

“Camino Square is really the first true redevelopment of a blighted and under-utilized property in Downtown Boca Raton, which is consistent with what the CRA was originally formed to do,” FCI Residential Managing Director Juan Porro said.

The apartments would hold a combined 350 units and would stand at 77 feet tall. The buildings would also not be the only part of construction for the current shopping center as there are also plans to beautify the surrounding area.

Those plans include sidewalks and green

spaces, as well as landscaping.

Camino Square’s architect, Beatriz Hernandez of MSA Architects, also designed the Camden Boca Raton apartments. She believes that the designs for the proposed buildings will fit perfectly into the city’s atmosphere.

“Camino Square is a modern interpretation of Addison Mizner’s architectural style,” she said. “It offers distinctive features of traditional classical architecture in terms of its articulation and the flexibility and openness of its spaces. It has been designed to blend in nicely and complement the city skyline.”

Apartment buildings could mean more traffic for the area as Boca Raton is already known for its busy streets, however those involved with the project stress that the added vehicles to the roads should not be too much of an issue.

“The proposed apartments will generate less evening traffic than if the shopping center was reactivated in its current setup,” Camino Square’s traffic engineer John Donaldson said.

The Federation of Boca Raton Homeowners, as well as nearby residents, have reviewed the plans and FCI Residential has received a preliminary review by the Community Appearance Board.

Palm Beach State levels up with new ad campaign

Palm Beach State College, the largest institution of higher education in Palm Beach County, has launched a new advertising campaign to elevate its image, raise awareness of its diverse academic programs and encourage students to make PBSC their first choice for higher education. pbsc-point-A600

The “Level Up” campaign launched in digital media channels, including targeted display, mobile, social and streaming music. In the first half of next year, PBSC plans to ramp-up the campaign to include cable TV, radio and mall and print advertising. World Cup Sponsorships and ads in targeted African American, Haitian and Hispanic publications and on Hispanic TV stations are also elements of the campaign.

Designed by IdeaBar, a fullservice advertising agency, the campaign targets four key audiences dubbed strivers, reinventors, explorers and influencers.

It features captivating split face imagery, reflective of the College’s diverse student population, and encourages individuals to envision a transformation from who they are today to who they can be in the future with an education from PBSC. Bold relevant headlines such as “From Undecided to Undergrad,” “From Homeroom to Healthcare,” and “From Cubicle to Corner Office” aim to capture their attention and speak to their personal and professional goals. The campaign reinforces PBSC’s more than 130 programs of study, including bachelor’s degrees, associate degrees, professional certificates and career training.

“The campaign is an expression of the PBSC brand promise of providing a transformative educational experience that improves our student’s quality of life and our community,” said Rachelle Franklin, interim director of college relations and marketing. “Today’s students are seeking a progressive, higher level learning institution that is affordable, easily fits into their life and is dedicated to help them to rise to their own potential.

At Palm Beach State, we are continuously evolving to do just that by providing a high-quality, high-touch, accessible, affordable education that helps our students better compete for the jobs of today and tomorrow and ultimately reach their career goals.”

The campaign is part of PBSC President Ava L. Parker’s drive to build on the 84-year history of the College and to ensure residents understand its value and impact on the community.

“We need to make people aware of how innovative and competitive the College really is. This marketing campaign reaches students where they are and shows them how they can reach their potential at PBSC,’’ she said. “We’re not just a college that’s down the street. We’re an innovative college that changes lives.

The concept of “Level Up” allows our students to see themselves in one place, and then realize the dreams that they have for their lives. It also ensures that our staff and faculty will remain competitive to meet the ever-changing needs of our students.”

Andrew Duffell, President of the Deborah Norville of Inside Edition Research Park, Recipient of 2017 and Today to Headline Lion of Ultimate CEO Award Judah Luncheon in Boca

For the second time in just three years, the South Florida Business Journal named Andrew Duffell, president and CEO of the Research Park at Florida Atlantic University an Ultimate CEO honoree.

Although Ultimate CEO Award recipients typically perceive this as “an honor of a lifetime,” Duffell was pleased to accept it one more time. “It is an honor to be recognized by the South Florida Business Journal. This award is special to me because I view it entirely as a reflection on the work that my team and I have done,” said Duffell.

The 2017 Ultimate CEO Awards presented by Comcast Business and sponsored by AvMed and Wells Fargo, in partnership with the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance and the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County, recognized 15 of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties’ top chief executive officers for their business acumen, leadership skills and community involvement.

“Each of the honorees has been a leader within their organization, throughout the business community and through their countless hours donated to the communities in which they live and work,” said Melanie Dickenson, publisher, South Florida Business Journal.

Duffell is a recognized thought leader on the strategic role of business cre-

ation, recruitment, retention and expansion as a foundation for the Florida economy. A frequent speaker and panelist, Duffell presents a pragmatic approach to working with start-ups and Fortune 100 companies on market entry and development strategies.

Since becoming president & CEO of the Research Park at FAU in 2011, the Research Park’s contribution to the region’s economy has surged, due largely to the repositioning strategy Duffell has spearheaded. The rebranded Research Park has gained high visibility, while engaging with the business and high education communities, ultimately strengthening its relationships with leaders throughout the region. It is perceived as a significant economic asset for South Florida.

Duffell’s current civic leadership roles include serving on the board of directors of the Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce and the Children’s Home Society – Palm Beach Division, as well as other advisory boards related to economic development.

In addition to being names a 2015 Palm Beach CEO by the South Florida Business Journal, Duffell was recognized in 2015 as a “40 under 40 Rising Star in Economic Development” by Development Counsellors International (DCI) at the International Economic Development Council (IEDC) Leadership Summit.

Hundreds of generous, committed members of the “pride” of the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County will once again gather to rededicate and celebrate, at the Lion of Judah Luncheon on Wednesday, January 10, 2018. Part of an international sisterhood 17,500 strong, the local Lion contingent of nearly 700 is among the largest in the country.

This year, South Palm Beach County’s Lions will be roaring with two-time Emmy© Award winner and best-selling author Deborah Norville as their keynote speaker. For more than twenty years, Norville has anchored Inside Edition on CBS, the country’s top-rated and most honored syndicated news magazine, and she previously co-hosted NBC’s Today.

“Every year our Lion of Judah program grows stronger and more powerful,” said Judy Levis Markhoff, Honorary Chair of the event. “Our community has one of the largest number of Lions in the country. This year we are fortunate to host Deborah Norville, two-time award winning anchor of Inside Edition, author and philanthropist, as our keynote speaker. Reservations are coming in quickly, and this event is going to be a sell-out.

Don’t delay. For information on securing your seat at the luncheon, contact Caissa Vega at 561852-6061 or Caissal@bocafed.org.”

“Women in our community are powerful philanthropic leaders, and our Lion of Judah program exemplifies our impact, and our luncheon has become every season’s premier occasion in Jewish women’s philanthropy,” added

PBSC students land Department of Energy internships

Two Palm Beach State College students, Vinicius Wagner and Lucas Michels, will soon pack their bags and head north to complete a 16-week, paid Community College Internship, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy.

The internship runs from January to May of next year. As part of the application process, Wagner and Michels selected their preferred internship site from among the DOE’s 15 laboratories across the country.

Wagner, a Dr. Floyd F. Koch Honors College student pursing his Associate in Arts degree, chose the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory in Princeton, N.J. and Michels, also pursuing an Associate in Arts degree, chose the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tenn.

Wagner selected the Princeton lab because of his interest in fusion energy. His project will be to build a spectrometer for the an onsite plasma generator. Michels chose Oak Ridge for his interest in nuclear fusion. For his project, he will help make the process of recycling rubber tires and transforming them into black carbon more efficient.

Although Michels research will not focus on nuclear fusion due to lack of available projects, he says he is still excited about what he will learn.

“I was really amazed when I received the news,” said Michels, who was born in Hartfort, Conn. and grew up in Brazil. “The project is on a field I always liked, chemistry. I am really happy with the news, and I’m sure it will be a wonderful experience.”

Michels heard about the opportunity from Wagner, who discovered the internship after doing a Google search.

“I literally just typed in commu-

nity college internship in the search field, and it was the first one that popped up,” said Wagner, who was born in Brazil and raised in Deerfield Beach, Fla. “I quickly discovered that I was eligible and decided to give it a try. I was over the roof with excitement when I learned I had been excepted. This is the biggest milestone so far in my career. I now feel like I can say that my career has officially started.”

During the internship, they will each receive a $500 salary per week and $800 a month for living expenses. The cost of their airfare will also be paid by the DOE.

Before being selected, the two submitted an online application, two recommendations and three essays detailing their lab research experiences, area of interest and future goals. Advisors at the host laboratories select students whose applications are highest ranked and whose skills, knowledge and interests are best aligned with available projects.

Michels plans to graduate from PBSC in the spring and then apply to several universities to study mechanical, chemical or materials engineering. Wagner also plans to graduate this spring and then apply to Princeton University in fall 2018 to study electrical engineering.

To qualify for the internship, students must be enrolled at a community or state college full time and have a minimum 3.0 GPA. They also have to have at least six credit hours in science, mathematics, engineering or technology and 12 credit hours toward a degree, among others. The number of interns chosen at each lab vary each term. Interns for the spring term are still being selected now through Dec. 22, 2017. For more information, visit www.science.energy.gov

FAU Owls Crowned Conference USA Champions By: Michael Demyan

For the first time ever, the Florida Atlantic University Owls are Conference USA champions.

It is not the first conference championship for the school as they went on to win the Sun Belt in 2007, but after three-straight seasons with a 3-9 record and being without a winning record since 2008, Saturday’s 41-17 victory against North Texas feels all the more sweeter.

“I think today was, just like the whole season, but especially today, all about the players,” head coach Lane Kiffin said. “Our players, for the ninth week in a row, played really good football. I’m kind of speechless for them; it’s a cool story. This has been different. I really have just sat back and watched these kids, and really learned to appreciate the moments more.”

For those players, especially the ones who have been with the program for years, getting the championship trophy is something they have been waiting for and something there have put a lot of effort into achieving.

“It’s a long time coming for a lot of us,” quarterback Jason Driskel said.

“I’ve been here for a long time and had rough times. It’s just a culmination of all of our work.”

The Owls finished the season

December 8 - December 14, 2017

with nine straight victories heading into their inevitable bowl game, reaching double digit victories for the first time since they won 11 all the way back in 2003. The main highlight of the team has been its offense, which continued per the norm throughout the first half.

FAU got off to a hot start, scoring five times before halftime.

A field goal from Greg Joseph and 22yard pass from Kamrin Solomon to John Franklin III gave the Owls a 10-0 lead by the end of the first quarter. Another field goal and two rushing touchdowns from Devin “Motor” Singletary then put the Owls up by 27.

North Texas did start to put on some pressure during the third quarter, however. After FAU extended their lead with a 54-yard Kalib Woods touchdown, the Mean Green responded with their

first two scores of the game, bringing the score to 34-9.

The Owls’ drought continued to start off the fourth quarter as Evan Johnson ran the ball in to set up a two-point conversion attempt. Quarterback Mason Fine quickly got pushed back by the Owl defense, resulting in a Hail Mary pass to a mob in the end zone.

After bouncing off of multiple players, the ball landed almost perfectly in the hands of the Mean Green’s Rico Bussey.

With the score at 34-17, FAU finally started to move the ball forward again, resulting in a five-yard run by Singletary, ending the scoring at 41-17.

Singletary tied the C-USA record for rushing touchdowns in a season on the play, which is now an honor he will share

www.bocaratontribune.com

with FAU running backs coach Kevin Smith. Smith set the record of 29 in 2007 with UCF.

It looked like the Owls had one more touchdown in them with the minutes winding down as Franklin burst through the defense and into the end zone, but his celebration came a bit premature. He dropped the ball a half-yard before crossing the line, resulting in a fumble after the play was reviewed.

The players did not let the mistake dampen their spirits however, as they celebrated by giving Kiffin a Gatorade bath before fans rushed onto the field.

Woods went on to be named the game’s Most Valuable Player after breaking the program’s single game-record of 208 receiving yards.

“Everything schematically says we shouldn’t be here,” linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair said. “Everything that anybody knows about football… says we shouldn’t be here. Individual stories, my story personally, I feel like I shouldn’t be here.

Kalib (Woods), same thing. A lot of these guys, that’s the story of this team. That’s a whole bunch of guys who have been told all their life they don’t belong. And now that we’re here, it’s a blessing.”

The Owls will Face the Akron Zips in the Cherribundi Boca Raton Bowl.

Despite our Differences, We Come Together at Thanksgiving

Every day we run across people who are improving the lives of those who are less fortunate among us.

One person who comes to my mind is Pastor Dan West of Restoration Bridge, a food clearinghouse, which operates in a warehouse at Mecca Farms, on Lantana Road.

Whenever I see Pastor Dan in action, I marvel at the energy and passion that he brings to his ministry.

A quiet man, he is soft spoken and full of purpose; his enthusiasm for the daily food distribution and for the volunteers, organizations and vendors who help make it happen is obvious and contagious.

“Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness around you will be as bright as noon,” he

said, quoting Isaiah 58:10.

He starts his day as early as 4:30 a.m. and every day, from as early as 5 a.m., he and his cadre of drivers can be found crisscrossing Palm Beach County in vans and trucks picking up food from its partner organizations to be distributed to the needy. At times, they are up as late as 10 p.m.

Like many of the food distribution programs across the county, Restoration Bridge is on the front lines in offering a vital service for those in our community who may need a little extra help getting food on the table.

Clearly, the need is great and relentless, even in affluent Palm Beach County. The facts are startling.

There are roughly 203,520 people in the county who do not have a reliable access to affordable

nutritious food, according to Restoration Bridge.

Pastor Dan and his team of dedicated volunteers could not accomplish their mission without a network of organizations and people.

These amazing volunteers work diligently each day picking up grocery items, pallets of food, produce, canned goods, refrigerated items and frozen food from some of its community partners, including Trader Joe’s, Publix, Walmart, USDA, PepsiCo, Target and Cheney Brothers.

Back at the warehouse, which is donated by Mecca Farms, another team of volunteers sort the goods, pack them in boxes and store them in large refrigerated freezers to keep them cool and fresh for distribution.

On Saturdays, they feed the

hungry and needy at Community of Hope Church, 2341 S Military Trail, West Palm Beach, in a manner that respects their dignity, while fighting to eliminate hunger.

After 19 years with General Motors Acceptance Corporation, Pastor Dan works as a business administrator at Trinity Church International for 10 years. He spent the next eight years overseeing the pastoral care duties.

Without a doubt Pastor Dan, who for the last 11 years has been a chaplain with Palm Beach Sheriff ’ Office, has been living his life according to Deuteronomy 15:11, which states, “Since there will never cease to be some in need… I therefore command you, ‘Open your hand to the poor and needy…”

POSITIVE LIVING

By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

You Can Communicate Better!

Every human being comes into the world with communication mechanisms. Even newborn babies know how to share pressing needs to a parent or guardian, capable of supplying their request.

What many adults fail to understand, even after several years on planet earth, is that communication among fellow humans is a task that demands continued improvement. The mere utterance of words, or an expression of feelings, does not necessarily indicate that a message has been sufficiently grasped!

Those who are eager to be understood by others, so as to anticipate a response from them, are responsible to convey their message with clarity, free from interfering noises, and at a moment which

offers the best chances of comprehension, and the provision of an adequate response.

Not only serious issues, but also less significant matters, have the greatest probability of being heard, understood, and acted upon when timing, surroundings, and emotional wellbeing of those engaged in the conversation are key factors taken into consideration. A dialogue does it best!

It is the one communicating to another who has the primary responsibility of ascertaining that the message has been heard and understood. While using the vacuum cleaner, when the television or radio are blasting, or when children are fighting or crying nearby, is not the right time to convey messages to

another person, with the expectation of being clearly heard!

The moment a spouse enters the house after a long day at work is never the best time to address any issue of importance to be received by the hearer, especially when that issue entails potentially bad news.

I once heard of a wise wife who studiously avoided greeting her husband after his long day at work with any bad news, regardless of the seriousness of the issue. So, one day, as soon as her husband entered the house, with a welcoming smile she went to kiss him, and proclaimed: “Hi, honey; you should be happy to know that three of our four children are not in the hospital at the moment!” With that creative approach,

and the blow softened, she was able gradually to explain that one of the kids had broken a leg during a ball game, but all else was okay!

You can avoid being misunderstood, not being heard, or sharing your thoughts at an inappropriate moment by seeking the right time, the best setting, and the most clear and adequate words which effectively and exhaustively express what you desire to convey.

It is not late at night, much less when you are tired in bed ready to sleep, or at moments when other pressing sirens beckon another’s attention that you should spill your concerns, or seek an answer to significant matters. Communication is not hard, but it needs to be done effectively!

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.

SPORTS Lynn Soccer Falls in National Championship Game By: Jack Rubin

After an improbable run to the final four of the Division II soccer season, the Lynn University Fighting Knights were knocked out in the championship game in penalty kicks by a score of 0-0 (3-1).

The University of Charleston, West Virginia, captured their first national championship with the win.

Lynn’s final record on the season is 14-4-3. Charleston wrapped up with a fierce 22-1-2 mark. Though the Fighting Knights entered the tournament as the fourth seed in their bracket, they were able to advance through to the final four in Kansas City.

Their path to the final was not easy. Beginning with in-conference foes Palm Beach Atlantic, the Fighting Knights faced four straight opponents with more wins than Lynn. The scorching hot Knights were able to sweep their way into the championship game with key

wins over 16-2-1 West Alabama and 16-22 Rockhurst.

Defense propelled the Fighting Knights to their solid second-place finish, as they did not score more than two goals in any of their four wins. Goalkeeper Alexander Roth allowed just two goals in

regulation during the entire tournament.

The senior finished his career among the leaders in program history in save percentage and goals allowed average.

Alun Webb lead the Knights with their only three shots on goal, and Lynn had a total of six shots. Though

Charleston had four shots on goal and twelve total shots, the two teams’ chances were similar in nature. Both keepers dazzled, especially Charleston’s Paulo Pita.

Lynn and Charleston last met in the 2014 National Championship, where Lynn captured its third title. The runnerup finish is also their third since joining the NCAA. While the score stayed knotted at zero through 110 minutes, Charleston dominated penalties, ultimately scoring three to Lynn’s one.

Though the end of the season did not yield the result that the Knight’s wanted, the team has reason to be satisfied with the result. 2018 will bring optimism for the Fighting Knights, as the team is returning nine starters. All five of their defenseman will return as well.
