BOCA FESTIVAL DAYS

Vote in Boca’s August election By: Marisa Gottesman Associate Editor It will be up to Boca Raton residents to decide whether they think their employees, the city council members deserve a raise.

and has been presented in several different ways.

The topic of potentially increasing elected official’s salaries to be quadruple what they currently earn will appear on the Aug. 30 ballot.

The most recent proposal was introduced by Councilman Robert Weinroth. The proposal would raise the mayor’s annual salary from $9,000 to $38,000. Council members’ pay would increase from $7,200 to $28,000.

The pay raise has been discussed at various meetings throughout the year

participated in a fantasy draft and balled with some sports legends including Mike Miller, Jason Taylor, Cris Carter, and of course Shaq himself. During one of the three days the event took place, players squared off on the court side-by-side with the superstars. Players stood in a draft, where they’d

be picked by the coaches. Later on in the afternoon the players would find themselves on a wooden court designed by the same company that creates the court for the NCAA Final Four. Players then donned their own personal uniform, walked out on the court, and

Vote in Boca’s August election [FROM PG 1] members in January is that salaries would not increase whenever Pam Beach County commissioners get raises.

The change was aimed at appeasing residents who were critical of that proposal. Council members approved the January proposal 4-1 with Councilman Scott Singer casting the dissenting vote. He said he would rather see a pay raise come from petitions circulated by residents. He also didn’t support the timing of when the question would appear before voters. If approved by residents, the raise would go into effect on Oct. 1. It would be the first pay increase for elected officials in Boca in more than 30 years. The last raise came in 1984. Voters have rejected proposed raises twice since 2004, which has prompted council members to choose the wording of this proposal carefully. Previous iterations of the proposal linked Boca salaries to the salaries of state leg-

islators and had higher salaries attached. The proposed mayor’s salary was $2,800 more and the council members was $931 more. This time, council members say the goal of the sal-

from the increase if it is approved. Their jobs are considered part-time. They are responsible for setting city rules and policies for Boca’s 90,000 residents. The increase would bring salaries to more than Boca’s neighboring cities.

Boca council members have said they spend about 20 to 30 hours a week working on city business. Also on the ballot is a question proposed by Councilman Scott Singer. The referendum involves asking voters whether they think unexpected vacancies on the council should be filled by a special election or an appointment. Currently, the council appoints a member to serve until the next scheduled election takes place. Singer first raised the topic in May, but didn’t receive support from his colleagues.

ary increase is to “continue to attract qualified candidates,” according to the proposal. The idea of a raise was proposed by a resident who wanted to make running for office appealing. Some residents are critical of the current council benefitting

T h e Boynton Beach mayor earns $18,809, and city commissioners make $15,675 for representing a city of about 73,000 residents. Delray Beach’s mayor earns $12,854 and commissioners $9,638. They represent a city of about 65,000 residents.

He revised the proposal to state the council would have 90 days to fill the vacancy and outlines ways to save money by holding special elections when other elections are scheduled, even if they are more than 90 days out from the vacancy. Special elections are costly and range from $7.500 to $10,000 when held in conjunction with a primary or general election or between $120,000 and $135,000 if the city holds its own stand-alone special election, according to city officials.

Shaq balls out with his fantasy league at Boca Raton Resort waited for the referees to get the game started. All of this paired with an official score board, plenty of physical trainers, and being able to throw a fast break pass to Jason Taylor led to a feeling of authenticity in this hotel’s grand ballroom. Each team knew they wanted to show they were the best, and by making their way through a playoff bracket and into the championship, the bragging rights for taking first were up for grabs.

[FROM PG 1]

Of course with this many past stars, the event came with a high price tag and a low player cap. Costing right around $6,995, participants 21 and over were able to coach and those 35 and older were able to play. Included in the price was a room at Waldorf Astoria property, being able

to participate in networking and social events, ground transportation, and meals Those who chose to coach rather than play are able to coach alongside the legends, while those who play are able to compete and receive instructions from the pros. The exclusive event is capped out at 32 players, ensuring that everyone involved gets a chance to play. Players were joking around with stars, throwing around trash talk, and even the older players were showing that they still got it. While no solid dates have been announced for a return, the demand certainly was there for a return. Keep an eye out for future dates and for new stars to join in on the fun.

Boca golf course could become home development By: Marisa Gottesman Associate Editor A Boca Raton golf course is poised to become a home for new Lennar Corp. homes. A subsidiary of Miami-based homebuilder Lennar Corp. has plans to purchase the 27-hole Ocean Breeze Golf Club, 5801 NW Second Ave. A deal was scheduled to close last month, but has been postponed, according to records. The course closed last month. The proposed price of the purchase for the larger of the two Boca public golf courses has not been disclosed. Lennar plans to purchase the course from Wells Fargo Bank, which said the championship course was too expensive to maintain as a public golf course. Ocean Breeze is located in the Boca Teeca subdivision and is the largest green space reserved for recreation left in the city. City officials say Lennar has plans to build homes on the course. It isn’t the only course home builders are interested in buying. The company sent a letter to Boca Mayor Susan Haynie stating it’s interested in paying $28 million for the

Boca Raton municipal course just outside the city limits, west of Florida’s Turnpike. Lennar states the offer is contingent on approval of at least 400 homes on the site. No action has been taken on the letter, according to the city. In order to build on the Ocean Breeze site, Lennar or any developer, will need support from Boca Teeca property owners and a city-approved zoning change to build on the land. This won’t be the first proposal to build homes on the course. Boca Teeca residents challenged a 2007 plan another developer had to build 211 homes on 30 acres, but nothing was ever built. The news has some residents and city officials upset about possibly losing the golf course. Councilman Jeremy Rodgers and Greater Boca Raton Beach & Park District Commissioner Earl Starkoff have both expressed interest in the topic. Commissioner Starkoff said he would like to see the district work with the city as it has in the past to acquire, operate and maintain the property. He said he

wants the city to take the lead on the initiative, but would support acquiring and preserving the course for public use. Councilman Rodgers has also stated he would like to see the city partner with the district or another group in order to purchase the course. The golf course is not an item on the

council’s goals for the year. It is also unclear and unknown how much money the city would have to spend to purchase the course. Officials estimate the deferred maintenance on the course would cost several million dollars. It is unclear if the city will discuss the golf course in an official capacity.

FAU Owls Football schedule features six home games, two away games in Miami, favorable to bowl game bid By: David DiPino Contributing Writer to be in the Top-25 leaving Coach Partridge and the Owls 10 winnable games. Surely, FAU won’t win ten games, the program’s never won more than eight games in a single season, but if they win six games they could be putting on their bowling shoes. To be bowl eligible, teams have to win at least six games. FAU Owls Football schedule and predictions: September 3, 2016 - Southern Illinois University Salukis at FAU Owls, 6p.m., FAU Stadium. FAU 32 SIU 29 – this one will be close as both teams are coming off three win Trey Hendrickson makes a play for FAU. Photo By: Ralph Notaro, courtesy of FAU

Back in 2008, during the height of Coach Howard Schnellenberger’s era, the Florida Atlantic University Football program and their fans had just enjoyed back to back winning seasons and consecutive bowl game wins. Unfortunately, FAU hasn’t had a winning season since and the program hasn’t finished higher than fourth place in the end of season conference standings. In fact, since 2008 FAU hasn’t even sniffed a post season bowl game - the Super Bowl of a successful college football season. In their third straight year under the leadership of the program’s only fourth head coach, Charlie Partridge, the question is – can a team led by a young and unproven head coach lead the program back to winning ways and a bowl game berth? The question of another conference championship and bowl game could be answered by a talented group of Owls football players led by Trey Hendrickson, an FAU defensive end recently named to the Chuck Bednarik Award watch list after recording 13.5 quarterback sacks during the 2015 season. After each college football season, the Chuck Bednarik Award is awarded to the best defensive college football player in the U.S. as judged by the Maxwell Football Club. Hendrickson, a senior from Apopka majoring in criminal justice at FAU, is the Owls All-Time Leader with 20 Sacks. Last year, Hendrickson led Conference USA in sacks and was ranked no. 2 nationally for NCAA Division I-A College Football. He’ll lead an Owls defense which had a program record 35 sacks last season. On the offensive side of the ball the Owls will soar behind the leadership of offensive lineman Dillon DeBoer, a senior from Tarpon Springs and now a graduate student studying for an MBA in business after already completing a degree in finance. DeBoer’s versatility and ability to play multiple positions on the offensive line including center, will help FAU control the line of scrimmage. DeBoer is on a college football watch list for the Rimington Award, which is given out to NCAA Division I-A College Football’s best center. The award also raises money for cystic fibrosis, an inherited, life-threatening disorder that damages the lungs and digestive system. Dalton Schomp, a senior punter majoring in criminal justice at FAU who last season led NCAA Division I-A College Football in yards per punt in 2015 has been named to the Ray Guy Award watch list. The Ray Guy Award is given out annually to NCAA Division I-A College Football’s best punter. Schomp, a senior from Seminole set a new FAU record with a 76-yard punt. With the senior leadership of Hendrickson, DeBoer and Schomp, Coach Partridge will double last season’s win total (3) and have the Owls talking about going bowling. First, FAU needs to get off to a hot start on a very favorable schedule with only two teams likely

October 15, 2016 – FAU Owls at Marshall University Thundering Herd, 7 p.m., Joan C. Edwards Stadium, Huntington, WV. Marshall Thundering Herd 38 FAU Owls 21 - Marshall won 10 games last year including the St. Petersburg Bowl, a 16-10 win over UConn. Coach Partridge is 0-2 against the Herd. Marshall dominates this one front to back. October 29, 2016 - Western Kentucky University Hilltoppers at FAU Owls, 3:30 p.m., FAU Stadium. WKU Hilltoppers 35 FAU Owls 28 - with the Owls coming off a bye week they get started a little slower in this one and while they keep the score close, they lose their second in a row, after last year’s Conference USA and Miami Beach Bowl at Marlins Park Champions, WKU win by just a touchdown late. November 5, 2016 – FAU Owls at Rice University Owls, TBA, Rice Stadium, Houston, Texas. Rice Owls 44 FAU Owls 43 - In the battle of the Owls, Rice has momentum after defeating FAU 27-26 in Boca Raton last season.

UM 51 FAU 36 – FAU will hang with Miami just like they did in 2015 but with the addition of former University of Georgia Head Coach Mark Richt, a Boca Raton native, the “U” will be much more effective offensively. September 17, 2016 - FAU Owls at Kansas State University Wildcats, 2:30 p.m., Bill Snyder Family Stadium, Manhattan, KS. KSU 49 FAU 23 – this will be the farthest FAU travels this year and it will show on their weary wings after a letdown at Miami and the Wildcats still have momentum after winning the last three games in 2015 before losing to the Arkansas Razorbacks in the Liberty Bowl. September 24, 2016 - Ball State University Cardinals at FAU Owls, 6 p.m., FAU Stadium. FAU Owls 24 Ball State 10 – FAU is actually a bit more advanced and two touchdowns better offensively after tough road losses at Miami and K-State. The Owls defense will also shine in this one and the later home start will rejuvenate the program and bring FAU to 2-2 early in the season. October 1, 2016 – FAU Owls at Florida International University (FIU) Golden Panthers, 7p.m., FIU Stadium. Miami. FAU Owls 27 FIU Golden Panthers 24 - the Owls open their Conference USA Season with a rivalry game with FIU who won five games last year but has only won the Shula Bowl (FAU vs. FIU rivalry game named after legendary football Coach Don Shula) four times since the inaugural effort in 2002. No Shula Bowl has been closer than seven points until this year when FAU squeezes out a win with a late field goal as time expires. October 8, 2016 – University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNC Charlotte) 49ers at FAU Owls, 3:30 p.m., FAU Stadium. FAU Owls 34 Charlotte 49ers 19 - the Owls will win two in a row and stay undefeated at home with a win over Charlotte, a team they dominated 17-7 last year in a rain squall up in North Carolina.

November 19, 2016 – Old Dominion University (ODU) Monarchs at FAU Owls, 6 p.m., FAU Stadium. FAU 16 ODU 14 - the last two meetings between the Owls and Monarchs were split by a total of five points. Expect ODU to keep it close for the third straight year but FAU prevails on a late field goal and becomes bowl eligible at 6-5. November 26, 2016 FAU Owls at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) Blue Raiders, 5:30 p.m., Johnny “Red” Floyd Stadium, Murfreesboro, TN. MTSU Blue Raiders 37 FAU 14 - the Blue Raiders have owned FAU since the Coach Schnellenberger era ended with MTSU winning seven meetings over the Owls since 2008. Murfreesboro is a tough place to pull out a win and FAU stumbles in their regular season finale. Prediction: The 2016 FAU Owls will finish the season bowl eligible with 6 wins, 6 losses, and be invited to play the Central Michigan University Chippewas in the 2016 Popeyes Bahamas Bowl. Friday, December 23, 2016 at 1 p.m., Thomas Robinson Stadium, Nassau Bahamas.

CEO, President of Research Park at FAU Andrew Duffell

1. Tell us about yourself, your background and how you became CEO/President of Research Park. I’ve been involved in economic development since 2002 when I helped graduates of the JobCorps program find and keep gainful employment. After that I started helping U.S. tech companies expand into Europe, using the U.K. as a springboard. I’ll be interested to see how that strategy works going forward now that the U.K. voted to leave the E.U. Economic development is fun for a practioner: I get to interact with people from all over the world in all sorts of different fields, and to help them create jobs and long term prosperity for our region is very rewarding. I get to help shape the South Florida my two children will lead in the future.

collectively secured 18% of all venture capital raised in South Florida in 2015 and held 615 U.S. patents. 2015 was a good year for the Research Park. 3. What is your favorite success story that comes from or has roots attached to Research Park? Our best known success to date is Modernizing Medicine. I met Dan Cane a year or so before I moved to the Research Park and was excited by the project he described to me, so we stayed in touch. Soon after coming to the Research Park I contacted Dan and he was running out of space in the offices he had rented so I told him more about the opportunity in the Research Park and we started figuring out how to bring him in. Today the company employs over 400 people and has won almost every major award out there and dominates almost 30% of the U.S. dermatology market.

I came to the Research Park in 2011 after my long-time predecessor passed away, leaving a strong foundation of a research park to build upon and power into the future. I met with the Authority and told them my vision; on my way home from the interview they called me and asked when I could start.

There are others as well. For example, MobileHelp is a phenomenal company that we brought into the Research Park in its early stages and it is now in its 2nd year of being listed on the Inc. 500 list and is a GrowFL Company To Watch.

2. Fill us in on what is happening at Research Park. How many businesses are there, what are they up to?

4. What is the best part about being located in the city of Boca Raton and having a relationship with FAU?

We have 19 mature companies in the Research Park, working in the aviation, medical devices, medical imaging, radio frequency testing and other industries. We also have 19 early-stage companies in our Technology Business Incubator®: these companies are working in similar industries and we are helping them to scale up and become sustainable corporate citizens.

There are lots of tech companies here, the community wants to help and the City is a big partner, it all comes together in Boca Raton.

Last year alone these 38 companies contributed over $849 million to the regional economy in their everyday buying, selling and other activities. Our companies

Having a unique relationship with FAU is a tremendous

advantage for our companies. They get to work with faculty every day, and to get to know the students before hiring them; the access and proximity are unparalleled. An added bonus is access to the gym and stadium events too! 5. What is the most challenging part of your job? What is the most rewarding part of your job? Both the challenge and the reward is finding the right partner for each of our companies within the University. Knowing all the research that’s going on helps me understand the needs and capabilities of the companies we try to bring to the Research Park, and then placing them with the ideal partner and knowing that it could lead to a major breakthrough is very exciting. Funding our work is a challenge, and the City of Boca Raton and Palm Beach County have helped in that regard in the last few years. Now we’re going out to the private sector to ask for its buy-in as well.

Cultural Conversation: The Broadway Artists Intensive at Kravis Center By: Marisa Gottesman Associate Editor Aspiring Broadway stars spent time this summer learning from the professionals. For three weeks last month, stars spent time at the Kravis participating in The Broadway Intensive, an advanced musical training program.

future Center Artists theater

Participants learned what it takes be in a Broadway show from the awardwinning faculty, who have all been in multiple shows. This year, guest teachers included Tony Award-winning Director/ Choreographer Jerry Mitchell, creator of Kinky Boots, the Best Musical of 2013 and Broadway star Laura Osnes, nominated for a Tony Award for her starring role as Cinderella on Broadway. Students learned about three different disciplines in musical theater, acting, voice and dance. This isn’t your typical summer camp. Participants must apply and be selected for the program. “It’s a fun program, but it’s really not a camp,” said Tracy Butler, education director of the Kravis Center. “It provides rigorous training.”

Currently, Osnes said she isn’t in a show. She is spending her time teaching and performing in concerts. She said she was blown away by the talent the students exuded during their performances. She offered critique and feedback to the performers who practiced auditioning for her. After the mini-auditions, she answered questions about how she deals with rejection, resting her voice and balancing a social life with work. She said being a celebrity doesn’t always come with glamorous perks. She said she lives in a five-story walk up in New York City with her husband. She said she doesn’t get to take many vacations or days off when she is in a show because she is constantly performing. She doesn’t drink a lot of alcohol because she has to stay healthy and she has to get a lot of sleep and rest her voice. “You have to make sacrifices,” she said.

The program is in its fifth year at Kravis and is run by Broadway professionals Jackie Bayne Gillman, Jason Gillman and Greg Graham.

Sometimes that sacrifice means she doesn’t have time to take selfies with fans after a show. She told the students that it doesn’t mean the actors don’t want to be involved with their fans, but sometimes they need rest or to take care of something personal.

Alexandra McCrary, 15, of Boynton Beach said the program is the most fun you’ll have and the hardest you’ll ever work.

Even though she is known in the business, she said she still has to audition for roles. She encouraged the students to go on every audition.

“It’s my favorite three weeks of the year,” the five-year-participant said, adding, “And it’s not a camp.”

“Every audition is practice,” she said. “I do still audition. I do still get nervous.”

On a recent Thursday afternoon, McCrary and other participants had a chance to audition for Osnes and ask her questions about being a star.

She said she goes into an audition knowing that she is invested in the part, but can detach herself from it if she isn’t selected. She said even when you don’t get a role, you never know what other

opportunity may arise because you went to the audition.

of the arts and the next generation of theater-goers.

The biggest lesson she stressed to the students is to be themselves even when they are playing a role on stage.

Even if participants don’t take center stage, she said there are so many other opportunities in the industry like stage managers, set designers, directors and writers.

“We try our whole lives trying to be what people want us to be as performers,” she said. “Be real. Be genuine. Stand like a human and have a conversation.” She said she never had the opportunity to learn from a Broadway actor when she was younger and she is glad programs like the intensive are creating lovers

She also said the program helps build life skills like how to be confident, collaborate and take direction. For more information on the intensive, visit http://thebroadwayartistsintensive. com

Working out shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be dangerous [24]

YOUR COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER | AUGUST 2016

Healing with light By: Dr. John Conde DC, DACNB Special to the Boca and Delray newspapers The therapeutic use of light, photobiomodulation (PBM), has been utilized in Europe for over 40 years and recently gained FDA clearance in the United States in 2002. In essence it is the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near-infrared) to create therapeutic effects in damaged tissue through the enhanced metabolism of local cells, increased blood flow, and increased immunity. Improved healing time, pain reduction, increased circulation, and decreased swelling are just some of the positive effects experienced by most patients. This cutting edge technology is revolutionizing the treatment protocols of simple strain/sprains to chronic debilitating

joint and disc disorders. A laser is any device which can be made to produce or amplify electromagnetic radiation in wavelengths ranging from 180 nm to 1 mm by the process of controlled stimulated emission. These wavelengths of light contain tiny particles called photons. These photons stimulate certain receptors or sensors on the mitochondria in cells thus enhancing energy production and metabolism. The type of cells affected depends on the tissue which is targeted by the laser. For example, in individuals with acute or chronic lower back pain the cells affected include those in the spinal joints and discs as well as the ligaments and tendons that surround the spine. This ensures healing at the level of the injury and not just a masking of the symptoms.

Laser technology is classified based on the wavelengths of light that the unit is able to produce as well as the power it is able to emit. The larger the wavelengths of light the greater the penetrating depth into the tissue and therefore the more effective the treatment. Shorter wavelengths of light treat more superficial injuries whereas longer wavelengths treat deeper injuries including fractures. The power emitted by the unit also has a large impact on treatment time, healing time, and overall success. Generally more power equates too faster treatment times and most importantly shorter healing times. Which means the patient gets better faster. Classes range from I-IV. Class IV lasers usually emit from 5-12 watts of power and offer longer wavelength capabilities. The Conde Center For Chiropractic Neurology offers Class IV laser technology. Effectiveness of laser therapy has been demonstrated scientifically. In-fact there are thousands of published studies demonstrating the clinical effectiveness of laser therapy. Among these, there are more than one hundred rigorously controlled scientific studies that document the effectiveness of laser therapy for many clinical musculo-skeletal conditions. Laser therapy can benefit conditions ranging from carpal tunnel syndrome to knee pain to back pain. Dr. John Conde is a Board Certified Chiropractic Neurologist, one of only one thousand in the country. He holds diplomate status through the American Chiropractic Neurology Board. He provides specialized care for difficult cases of back neck pain, numbness-tingling, vertigo-dizziness balance disorders, fibromyalgia, migraines, AD/ HD, autism, and dyslexia.

How to get the most out of your summer vacation: Part 2 of 2 By: Raul J. Rodriguez MD, DABPN, DABAM Special to the Boca and Delray newspapers Vacation travel often involves airline travel, which in turn may come with some jet lag if multiple time zones have been crossed. Jet lag and other sleep related disturbances can leave you feeling exhausted from one day to the next. Jet lag, which is medically referred to as desynchronosis, is a temporary disorder that causes fatigue, insomnia, and other symptoms as a result of rapid air travel across many time zones. It happens worse when traveling east and when crossing six to nine time zones. It is recommended to avoid light in first three to four hours of the morning at the destination for the first few days. Melatonin at a dose of 1mg or less before sleep may also quicken the acclimatization to the new time zone. Melatonin may also be useful for difficulty sleeping in a new place or on a strange bed. Poor sleep for any reason can leave you tired the next day. Most people know from past experience how fragile their sleep can be when in

a new place. Traveling with over the counter sleep remedies such as melatonin and Valerian root, or prescription medications such as Ambien, Sonata, or Lunesta is a worthwhile precaution to make doubly sure that you get adequate rest when traveling. Rest and physical recovery in the week leading up to the trip is of vital importance. Many people think that vacation is for resting. I will take the liberty in declaring that vacation is for having fun and enjoying your family first, and getting some rest second. During your getaway you do want to physically recover from the daily grind, but you also want to mentally and emotionally recover. This is where having fun comes in to play. Having fun takes energy though; so you want to make sure you have enough of it heading into your trip. Having to sleep for a significant portion of your vacation to catch up with what you did in the week

prior at work is somewhat of a waste of precious vacation time. Showing up to the airport with a full tank of gas sets you up to kick off your fun the minute you arrive at your destination. If you really want to top off the energy tank then I strongly recommend getting B12 and B complex injections or an IV vitamin infusion the day before your trip. Combining this with adequate rest and hydration leading into your travel days will set you for peak energy. Feeling good on vacation will undoubtedly help you enjoy your vacation to the fullest. All of this planning and preparation will also enhance your enjoyment as it significantly adds to the element of positive anticipation for the trip. Anticipation of a positive event can provide a person with as much, if not more total pleasure than the event itself. In essence you actually start to enjoy the vacation 12 or more weeks before

the actual trip, as well as during the trip itself. So in more ways than one, you can actually more than double the fun and enjoyment of your vacation. Dr. Rodriguez is the founder, CEO and Medical Director of the Delray Center For Healing, which offers comprehensive treatment programs for depression, anxiety, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, and substance abuse. The Delray Center For Healing also offers integrative treatments such as intramuscular and intravenous vitamin infusions to enhance health and vitality.

Life After CrossFit is life, only better: Part two By: Christine King Special to the Boca and Delray newspapers be uncomfortable, to suffer for reward.” Many in the CrossFit community also tell you that injury is a normal part of the training process. Nonsense. In addition to musculoskeletal injuries, CrossFit workouts are associated with rhabdomyolysis. This occurs when the intensity of your work out breaks down muscle fibers and releases their cells into the bloodstream, leading to kidney failure and even death. Yet a CrossFit mascot is a scary looking clown lovingly referred to as “Uncle Rhabdo.” A properly educated, certified Fitness Professional carefully progresses the client during each visit (for both private and group sessions) so muscles, bones and connective tissue are given the proper adaptation time for this new thing you’re doing called “exercise.” All of the science and studies we’ve poured over for years in order to provide comprehensive, safe and effective exercise has been thrown out the window by the box. Their website reads “To reap the greatest benefits from CrossFit, you have to be willing to push yourself, to

The box’s website continues to explain rhabdomyolysis by disclosing “A few exercises that CrossFit prescribes, done in excess (100+ reps, etc.), can and has caused this condition.” After a brief warm-up, one CrossFit workout begins with 100 squats, adding progressive weight after every 10 reps. No qualified Fitness Professional would ask a client perform 100 squats during their first session; with or without weight! Another coveted box mascot is “Pukey” the clown. A celebrated workout goal

includes vomiting or lifting weights until you pee. Scientific studies including the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, reveal that 73.5 percent of CrossFitters sustain injuries that prevent them from carrying out everyday activities. An Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine study determined that 19.4 percent of CrossFit participants sustained an injury. Shoulder and lower back injuries ranked the highest. Ok, just one more among many… Written on CrossFit website: June 8, 2016 “Warning: Reducing intensity can be habit forming. Please consult your CrossFit trainer immediately”

In summation, the box tells the member that reducing intensity equals immediate failure and punishment. In order to live your life, only better a professional consult is an absolute necessity. Guidance on your individual situation is essential in order for you to implement the most safe and effective program without injury. Including health and wellness in your life needs to be enjoyable, reasonable, safe and result driven. Working out to the vomit stage is not an option. Attaining your goals using the safest, most effective and fun methods fulfill your needs using a holistic approach. After all upon last check, we’re not super heroes…we’re human.

7 reasons behind why your hormones may be imbalanced By: Rick Gold, Certified FDN Practitioner & Partner in BAMedical Special to the Boca and Delray newspapers 1. Chronic emotional stress – It’s no secret anymore that chronic emotional stress causes a degradation of physical health. In order to naturally balance your hormones, you’ll need to get a handle on emotional stress. Meditation, Yoga, HRV (Heart rate variability) training, and practicing gratitude are all great ways to accomplish this. But you’ll also need to dig deep and evaluate your life, your career, and the people you choose to surround yourself with. Toxic relationships and toxic situations can and will ruin your health! 2. Sleep deprivation or poor sleep – Just one night of poor sleep causes downregulation of immune function, blood sugar dis-regulation, and inflammation all which lead to your body being in “fight-or-flight” mode all day every day. In order to balance hormones, you’ll need to put a big focus on achieving

getting quality and quantity of sleep – at least eight hours every night in a cold (68 degrees – 70 degrees) and a very dark room. 3. Nutrient deficiencies – Quite simply, your organs that produce your hormones need the raw material to do so. The raw material consists of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, proteins, and healthy fats. If you’re deficient in any of these it can cause big problems for hormone

background infections is an important step in balancing hormones. Consider running comprehensive stool testing and an organic acids test to find underlying infections. 5. Food sensitivities – Food sensitivities cause inflammation and invoke the fight or flight stress response as well. Consider running food sensitivity panels to flush out what your specific inflammatory foods are. One interesting fact is that you can create food sensitivities within your body by over-eating certain types of food with too much frequency (i.e. eating chicken and broccoli 5 nights a week for a month straight could potentially develop

production. If you have hormone imbalances, you should eat a nutrientdense diet & consider running a test for nutrient deficiencies. 4. Bacterial, fungal, parasitic, or viral infections – Because they cause chronic immune activation and inflammation, infections also will keep you in fightor-flight mode for as long as they have a hold on your body. Dealing with these

a food sensitivity to broccoli, which then will cause the body to have issues breaking it down.) 6. Gut bacteria imbalances – Gut

bacteria are incredibly important for proper digestion and absorption of nutrients from food in the gut, but they also modulate immune function and inflammation in your body. Antibiotics, prescription medications, alcohol, and many other facets of western lifestyle cause imbalances in beneficial and harmful bacteria in your gut and this can lead to hormonal imbalances. A guthealing protocol with the right foods, and the right probiotics will help. 7. Circadian mismatches – Just because this is #7 doesn’t mean it’s not as important as the rest. Your circadian rhythm is otherwise known as your sleep/ wake cycle and it’s extremely important

to have proper functioning circadian rhythms for your overall health and hormones. Circadian mismatches lead to inflammation, immune dysfunction, poor sleep, blood sugar and insulin issues, and of course, hormonal imbalances. You need a healthy amount of sunlight at the right times of every day, and avoidance of blue light (phone/TV/tablet screens/LED lights) and artificial light at night. You’ll also want to stay clear of nnEMFs (non-native electromagnetic fields), which also cause hormonal imbalances.

Peter DeRosa joins Eleven Salon & Spa Staff report Delray’s Eleven Salon & Spa is now home to Peter DeRosa. The announcement last month nearly broke the internet with their twist of Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling” music video that was blasted online. The music video featured Nikki Oden founder of Eleven, DeRosa, salon and spa members and a cameo by former elected official Tom Carney.

DeRosa was formally welcomed with a grand opening pool party at the spa. “This is a big opportunity for me,” DeRosa said of moving to Eleven. “Eleven has a great brand in Delray.” DeRosa said he has been cutting and styling hair since he was 16. He went to hair school at 19 and now at 39, his clients travel from all over to have him work on their locks. Now, he is growing his team at his new salon location, 1440 North Federal Highway.

“We are very excited to have Peter at the salon,” Oden said, “We have known each other for a long time and it is awesome we could finally come together.” DeRosa said what sets him apart from other people in the industry is his communication skills. He said everyone that has a license has the technical skills to cut, color or style hair. But he said it is about the stylist being able to give the client what they want. He said people come in and complain that their haircut is terrible, but when

He said communication with the client is key to giving them the look they want and will be happy with.

Kaufman Lynn Construction will be saying goodbye to its headquarters in Boca Raton and opening its national headquarter facility on Congress Avenue in Delray Beach. The Boca-based company is no stranger to Delray. The group is behind the SOFA project, Alta Depot, Abbey Delray and other projects. It has also supported Unity School and Delray Beach Little League. Now, the nearly 28-year-old company plans to bring more than 100 employees, whose average annual salaries are more than $100,000, to the southern end of Congress Avenue where city officials have been pushing for growth. “We are all very excited to move to Delray,” Kafuman Lynn CEO and president Michael Kaufman said. Congress Avenue Task Force members said this is the kind of project the city needs to kick off growth in the area. To make the move possible, the company asked the city to allow them to have a self-service storage area on the back of the building. City rules did not permit self-storage in that area of the city, so commissioners were asked to update the

city code. The building will still need city approvals to be built. The rule change states where businesses will be allowed to have storage units and what requirements they must meet to receive approval. Only Commissioner Shelly Petrolia voted against the project. She said she didn’t want to see the city change its rules for entire area for one project. Commissioner Mitch Katz said this project shows that the Congress Corridor is open for business. “We can create a great area where we can have Class A office space,” he said. “I am very excited about this. Hopefully this is the first step to get more of a jump start on that side of Congress.” Commissioner Jordana Jarjura said she supports a project that involves a national headquarters coming to the city. “They are really the perfect candidate for what we should be promoting for Delray,” he said of Kaufman Lynn. “We should be tripping over our body parts in trying to facilitate companies like yours into this area of Delray. I couldn’t be happier you’re here.”

Boca’s Cosmetic Solutions breaks ground on expansion By: Marisa Gottesman Associate Editor Tucked away in an industrial area of Boca Raton’s Park of Commerce Blvd., chemists, machines and people are focused on mixing, bottling and shipping thousands of skin care products across the world. Cosmetic Solutions started with two brothers 25 years ago. This summer, the Boca Raton-based company has plans to double its building size and add more members to its team. The private label and contract manufacturing company creates safe and natural projects that simulate and accelerate the skin’s natural healing process. They produce their own line of products called Professional Solutions and create thousands of serums, creams and ointments for other companies. The company produces 50,000 unique items and ships out millions of products. “Innovation is something we are big on,”

Employees package product for shi pping at Cosmetic Solutions.

COO Warren Becker said as he explained a new bioplacenta rejuvenating product the company recently released. While no placenta is actually used in the formula, he said the peptides used to create the product replicate the nutrients and benefits from a placenta. “All we need is an idea,” he said. The company started with an idea his uncle plastic surgeon Hilton Becker had. An inventor as well as doctor, he wanted to come up with a way to help his patients who were having adverse reactions to products on the market, his nephew said. He had already patented the adjustable breast implant, which is used when women have a mastectomy and may need to match the sizing of their breasts. So, when he noticed there was a new problem to tackle, he began coming up with new products. His father Mervyn moved down from

New York’s garment district to help and the two grew the business from the doctor’s office to a growing warehouse. The two original products used Glycolic acid and Hyaluronic acid. Becker said he uses the Hyaluronic moisturizer daily and its is their most popular product. The company produces all types of treatment-based products from acne treatments and anti-aging serums to instant face lifts and cleaners. Most of them use simple products. Cosmetic Solutions doesn’t only create the formulas, they bottle them, label them and ship them across the world. If a company needs a label, they have a graphic design team on site. If they aren’t sure what kind of bottling they want, there are hundreds of shapes in different colors and materials from plastic to glass. There are pumps, sprays and caps in various sizes. Any combination can be selected to create a product specific to a company’s vision.

A chemist mixes product in the Cosmetic Solutions lab. Staff photo.

On a recent Thursday afternoon, employees silently mixed chemicals in the lab measuring all the products to the precise amount, checked to make sure every label was placed properly and packed products into boxes with proper shipping labels. When employees have breaks, they can play foosball or sit in a massage chair. The company offers boot camp training in the parking lot for those who want to stay in shape and English class for people learning. “This is a family business for me,” Becker said. “I think about what my dad has built and what I can build for my children. It’s all about training and developing employees.” Currently, there are about 80 employees and there are plans to add about 20 more over the next two years. The 40,000-square-foot space they are in now will total 65,000-square-feet once the renovation is complete.

The emotional roller coaster By: Jeremy Office Ph.D., CFP, CIMA, MBA

At Maclendon, behavioral finance is a usual topic of discussion. Behavioral finance attempts to explain market anomalies through psychology-based theories. At the base of behavioral finance is the assumption that markets are driven by two factors: fear and greed. Earlier this month, we had come across data from CNN that indicated that market sentiment was one of extreme greed - a stark contrast from a year ago. With the rebound in equity markets that started midway through the first quarter, there had been an underlying fear of missing out (FOMO) as investors

chased returns. This greed is what pushes prices above and beyond sustainable values that lead to bubbles and eventual crashes. Since market participants are subject to their emotional propensity to take risks, fluctuations from fear and greed often cloud the long term view of markets and lead to unwarranted short term volatility. Market sentiment is the general attitude of investors on the markets. Sentiment indicators quantitatively measure the bullishness or bearishness of a particular

group on a specific investment or group of investments. These indicators are often used as contrarian indicators to identify market extremes. Excessive bullish sentiment is viewed as potentially bearish for the stock market, while excessive bearish sentiment is viewed as potentially bullish. Warren Buffet even alludes to this contrarianism to market sentiment in his quote “be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.” There are many measures of market sentiment and investors rely on some more than others based on personal preference and investing strategy. The more popular sentiment indicators tend to focus attention on consumer related data when attempting to forecast the future direction of the stock market. Although not always straight forward to measure, market sentiment can be influenced by factors such as stock price momentum, strength, breadth, put/call ratio, market volatility, economic reports, seasonal factors, and geopolitical events to name a few. Short term traders analyze measures of sentiment and psychological traits of investors to reach beyond traditional market data and get a more complete picture into developing trends, discover new opportunities, and make more informed decisions. The fluctuating waves of sentiment have regular effects on the stock market as a whole. There has been numerous times where sentiment has influenced the market.

Particularly, in the late 1990s extraordinary bullish market sentiment pushed prices of speculative and difficult-to-value technology stocks to unprecedented levels. We also saw very bullish market sentiment (amongst other factors) in real estate that contributed to the financial crisis. The extreme level of bullish market sentiment could be likened to the term “irrational exuberance” coined by former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and made popular by Yale economist Robert Shiller. Conditions where markets are at all-time highs are typically more risky than conditions where markets are at all-time lows. Buying into euphoric markets is usually ill-advised, and so is selling out in situations of panic when prices are falling. The best investors in the world know that short-term prices of financial assets are driven by little else than market sentiment. A prudent plan does not include trying to time the market based on short term market sentiment, but focuses on the long-term and is the foundation of a longterm strategy.

Check out an escape room By: Marisa Gottesman Associate Editor Imagine you are a journalist. You are in Area 51 and you just got word that the area is about to be destroyed. You have one hour to disarm the self-destruction module and escape.

pops out and nothing is scary, unless you’re afraid of aliens. You must work together and touch everything in front of you. Everything and anything can help you with your escape.

That’s the challenge put in front of you and your team at The Delray Escape.

You receive a walkie-talkie that allows you to communicate with a staff member who is watching you work on the challenge. You are permitted to request three clues, if you ask for any more it counts against your time by five minutes per hint.

One hour is put on the clock and you must use each other and the room to figure out how to get out. The Delray Escape is what is known as an escape room. Don’t think chainsaws in a haunted house on Halloween, think team building and working together. “It’s designed to be thought provoking and promote team work and cooperation,” said one of the founder’s Eitan Fishbein. “You’re running against the clock and you have to use all of your senses.” Fishbein assures escape room participants that the challenge isn’t scary. Nothing will pop out and spook participants and you aren’t actually locked in the room. We checked it out ourselves. Nothing

As you move through the sets of rooms toward escape, a voice comes over a loud speaker reminding you how much time you have to get out. The adrenaline and stress sets in as time ticks down. We got out in 40 minutes and 20 seconds, but we had a few helpful hints along the way. Escape rooms are a rising trend across the country. They are popular for a family outing, something to do with friends or to build relationships with co-workers. Up to 10 people can participate in this escape room challenge.

They typically have different themes and puzzles, hints and clues. Fishbein said the idea to open the location at 900 Linton Blvd. came after one of the founders missions, to get people off of their cell phones and get them to interact with other people. Fishbein said he tried an escape room and knew he wanted to bring it to Delray. “It’s something to get people off their phone,” Fishbein said. “You can’t use your phone when you’re in there. You are actually participating in the activity. It

requires teamwork and skills.” He said some people have completed the challenge in as few as 25 minutes while others have failed the 60 minute time limit. To sign up, you can make a reservation online. The Escape Room is run by appointment only, so you can’t walk in and expect to play. It is open to people of all ages. Participants less than 16 years old must be accompanied by an adult. For more information, visit http://www. delrayescape.com

Florida No-Fault law and how it affects you By: Shane Farnsworth Special to the Boca and Delray newspapers Protection (PIP) benefits are provided up to a limit of $10,000 for medical and disability benefits and $5,000 in death benefits for injuries, sickness, disease or death arising out of the ownership, maintenance, or use of a motor vehicle.

The Florida No-Fault law is contained in Section 627.736, Florida Statutes. In Florida an automobile insurance policy must contain personal injury protection to the named insured, relatives residing in the same household, persons operating the insured vehicle, passengers in the vehicle and people struck and injured by a motor vehicle while not an occupant of a self-propelled vehicle. Personal injury

Florida is a no-fault State and regardless of who causes a motor vehicle crash, the primary insurance coverage for up to the first $10,000 of your medical benefits is covered by your PIP coverage. Even if you have medical insurance, that is secondary until PIP is exhausted. For this reason, it is important that you understand how PIP works. If you are injured, you need to seek medical care. Under the No-Fault Law, you have 14 days to seek initial treatment following a motor vehicle crash. If you do not seek treatment within 14 days PIP benefits will not be available to you. The next step is understanding PIP

coverage. Medical benefits will be paid at 80 percent of all reasonable expenses for medically necessary medical, surgical, X-ray, dental and rehabilitative services. Reimbursement is available up to $10,000 if you are determined to have suffered an emergency medical condition. This may be found by a physician, dentist, physician’s assistant or an advanced registered nurse practitioner licensed under the appropriate chapters enumerated in the No-Fault Law. Other medical practitioners such as chiropractors cannot make an emergency medical condition determination. If you are not found to have suffered an emergency medical condition your PIP benefits will be capped at $2,500. You are also able to recover disability benefits under your PIP coverage. You are entitled to use your benefits for 60 percent of any loss of gross income from the inability to work due to injuries sustained in an automobile crash. You may also

recover the expenses reasonably incurred in hiring others to perform ordinary and necessary services that you would have performed but for your injuries. The Florida No-Fault Law also contains a death benefit. The death benefit is in addition to the medical and disability benefits. Death benefits of $5,000 per individual may be paid by the insurer to the executor or administrator of the deceased, any of the deceased’s relatives or any person appearing to the insurer to be equitably entitled to such benefits. The Florida No-Fault Law is complex and requires a thorough understanding for those injured in a motor vehicle crash. While this article is a basic framework as to how the law operates, it is certainly not intended to address and answer all questions or situations that may arise. Shane Farnsworth is an attorney at Shane M. Farnsworth, P.A., in Delray Beach. He represents clients in the areas of personal injury, insurance disputes and civil litigation. His office can be reached at 561272-8337 or shanemfarnsworth.com.

Check out 21 Drops in Delray [36]

SPONSORED BY

See who bought Bocaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Commercial Industrial Center [41]

Trendy Office in town: 21 Drops 1 Tell us about you and your company. Cary Caster grew up in Miami a ‘tom boy’, climbing trees and eating native fruits and vegetables straight from the source. Her dad was in the land business and Cary would go with him early in the mornings to walk the fields with the farmers. At a young age she learned how plants can be a source of strength and natural wellness. In college Cary majored in agriculture and ethnobotany and as an adult has travelled the world studying indigenous cultures and the use of plants for medicinal purposes. 21 Drops is the result of these learnings and knowledge. 21 Drops was founded to bring the powerful benefits of essential oils to families in a safe and easy to use product.

2 Where did the inspiration for your office space design come from? In 1949 the building opened as the original Chevrolet dealership in Delray Beach. Over the years it was used for many things including a tire store and auto repair. By the time we bought it, it was abandoned and ready to be torn down. By preserving what was structurally sound and reconstructing what needed a little love and care, we were able to bring a modest but important building back to life. So many people have stopped by to say they either worked in the building or bought their first car here, and appreciate the work we did to preserve it.

3 What is your favorite part/design of your office space and why? The most distinctive feature are the ‘canted’ windows that lean out along Federal Highway. But what gets the most complements are the green, tan and white terrazzo floors. They were damaged many years ago and a restorer from Europe painstakingly brought them back to life.

4 If you could use one word to describe the feel of the

office space, what would it be?

Modern Zen. While we used pop colors associated with the brand, the flow and feel is very natural.

What’s up in the real estate market Staff report Market continues to sizzle The vacancy rate for industrial properties in Palm Beach County fell to a 10-year low of 3.4 percent in the first quarter of 2016 according to a recent report issued by real estate firm CBRE. Rents rose 4 percent to $8.86 triple-net per square foot in the first quarter from the year-earlier period, according to CBRE. What’s driving the surge? Palm Beach is one of the few places in South Florida where there is land to build single family homes which also drives a need for industrial space. In addition, the rise of ecommerce is also fueling a need for distribution type businesses. Meanwhile, the single family home market continues to sizzle with South Florida remaining among the top ten markets in the country according to the Case-Schiller Index, considered a bible of the industry. In the most recent study, the index pegged the tri-county South Florida region as the 8th best market in terms of price appreciation. Portland, Seattle, Denver and Dallas remain the top four markets experiencing double digit, or near double digit percentage growth in home values. South Florida values are growing at between 3.4 and 6.4 percent year over year. The growth in home prices is creating a crisis in workforce housing experts say. The median single-family home price in Palm Beach County reached $305,000 in June, the highest since 2008 and up 3.4 percent from a year earlier. That puts homeownership out of reach for many, if not most, of the county’s residents, experts say. Median household income totals $53,000 in the county. A general rule of thumb is that you shouldn’t buy a home that costs more than three to three-and-a-half times your income. That would put the maximum affordable

home price at $159,000 to $185,500 for a median household. It is difficult if not impossible to find new construction in Southern Palm Beach County under $200,000. The median price for a townhome/ condo soared to $149,450 in the second quarter, up 8.3 percent from $138,000 last year. The cost of land and construction makes it difficult for developers to add affordable product in hot markets like Delray and Boca. The issue of affordability has become a hot button topic across the country, especially in desirable markets which tend to be very expensive. The shortage of workforce housing is fueling a YIMBY (Yes in My Backyard) in places like San Francisco, Seattle and Denver. Yimby’s believe NIMBYs (Not in My Backyard) are fueling the crisis by making it hard for developers to add product. They argue that prices have surged because of a shortage of new housing, arguing that demand is far outweighing supply ratcheting up prices. It’s a sea change from the usual greedy developer argument, but the YIMBY movement is also calling on cities to require affordable housing when new projects are built. The new product being added in Delray and Boca tends to be very high end and far out of reach of teachers, young professionals, police officers and other middle class professions. Boulder recently hosted the first ever YIMBY conference and more are planned as the movement seeks growth nationwide. Junior’s Selective About Locations Savvy cheesecake lovers are eagerly anticipating the opening of a new Junior’s restaurant slated for Mizner Park this fall. Boca should take some pride in the decision of the

landmark New York restaurant to expand to what has been called the 6th borough. In a recent interview in “Shopping Center Today” magazine, Junior’s owner Alan Rosen said the 66-year-old landmark is being very careful with their expansion plans choosing markets that make sense. “Because of the popularity of our brand, there are parts of the country that are calling for us,” said Rosen who calls Junior’s ‘Brooklyn comfort food’. “To continue our growth, there are certain strategic spots I think we need to be. My goal is to open one new store a year for as long as I can keep up.” Rosen has his eyes on Las Vegas and Miami, but said he chose Boca Raton for strategic reasons. “We are not afraid of big stores,” he said noting the Mizner Park Junior’s will be 8,000 square feet and feature indoor and outdoor seating, plus a bakery, a takeout department and a bar. “We are looking for more locations in that big format.” Rosen told Shopping Center Today that when scouting locations, he has little use for the next hot neighborhood preferring instead to open in already established districts. “We like high profile locations,” he told the magazine. “Places where I’m not going to have to pray the night before whether or not people are going to be there in the morning.” While Junior’s sticks to a winning formula, expect the new Boca store to reflect a little bit of the local culture. But the cheesesteak recipe stays the same as it has for 66 years.

5 questions with Scott Agran founder and president of Lang Realty Lang Realty is one of the largest real estate firms in Boca and Delray. They just recently launched their new website that took nearly two years to complete. Realizing that online searches are crucial to real estate, they created what they think is the ultimate in search-ability. www. langrealty.com In May, Lang generated 2,800 users off the website (it was quietly launched in April.)

real estate information geared to selling a home.

1. Why go to the expense of building the most advanced real estate web site in South Florida?

4. Would you say that today’s real estate buyer and seller feels more comfortable with researching online?

Lang Realty has become a leading RE company in South Florida by focusing on traditional media exposure. As the internet and digital marketing opportunities continue to grow Lang Realty has expanded our investment in this space. Our objective is to dominate both traditional and digital advertising for Real Estate to enhance the buyer experience as well as provide greater exposure to for our sellers.

I would say well over 90 percent of all buyers and sellers research the home buying and selling process on line at some time during the transaction. People have become very comfortable learning on the internet. Real Estate is a perfect category for both buyers and sellers to educate, research and explore opportunities for themselves. The days where the Realtors were the gate keepers of information is long over. Now the consumer is empowered with similar information as their agents. An educated consumer with an experienced agent can have a much more successful real estate transaction.

2. Why has it been such a quick success, for example bringing 2800 leads in May, one month after it was launched? Our success with our site was immediate because we had been tinkering with the functionality as well as the design for over a year prior to launching the new site. Therefore, once we switched out the old site for the new, everything we needed was in place for the site to be successful from day one. We continue to look for ways to enhance the site’s traffic thru keywords, social media, strategic media placement, and video. 3. In your opinion, what makes this site so different?

Deluxe Properties is expanding our ~BLUE CREW~ Team Call Dina for more information

561.241.0950

The site is designed for buyer’s to easily search for the type of properties they are interested in but it also allows them to customize their search to their exact specifications. Buyers can also quickly search by City or communities. Once a buyer is on the site it is one of the most comprehensive resources for Real Estate information comprising over 20,000 pages of information in one organized website. While the site is designed for buyers to find their dream home it is also a wonderful source for sellers to research competing homes as well as find valuable

5. What do you want people to know about this site? For over 25 years Lang Realty has established ourselves as the gold standard for reputation and professional service of our agents. Just as there are countless agents in our area there is unlimited number of Real Estate websites. Our website has been enhanced to set us apart from the thousands of competing sites. Over the years we have been thru dozens of redesigns of our website and made substantial investments in our digital strategy. We are constantly reviewing best practices from around the world and modifying our site to reflect the best in class for every features and design. Our smaller competitors do not possess the resources and our larger competitors cannot focus on all the micro markets in their area. As a dominant regional Real Estate power in Palm Beach with our 400 agents we are able to strategically focus on the specific markets our agents are the strongest with the necessary capital to be successful.

From the editor’s notebook: Our slice of paradise By: Jeff Perlman Editor in Chief Lots to discuss this month… Congratulations to our friends at Crane’s Beach House for being mentioned in “Authentic Florida’s” online piece that noted all the cool places to stay in Florida. The article talked about some of the best “authentic” Florida accommodations and frankly the piece would have been incomplete without a mention of Crane’s. For those locals seeking an August “stay cation,” Crane’s Beach House is a luxurious resort with 28 distinctive suites and four luxury villas. The suites, which recently underwent a $1.2 million facelift, are surrounded by tropical gardens and you feel like you are tucked away in paradise even though you are literally steps to the action of Atlantic Avenue and the beach. Please indulge me for a moment, because I take special pride in Crane’s. I was on the commission when the redevelopment was approved despite fears of noise and parking issues. In reality, Crane’s has become a local icon, hosting community events and becoming one of our city’s premier corporate citizens. I’ve stayed at the resort a few times over the years and have recommended it to friends and business associates all of whom have raved about the charm and customer service. Congrats Crane’s! You are authentically fantastic. Leadership Florida A decade ago, I graduated from Leadership Florida, a statewide program that gives 50-55 leaders from throughout the state a chance to learn about the issues, challenges and opportunities facing our state. While I have always enjoyed living here, I have to admit that I did not fall in love with Florida until I had a chance to attend Leadership Florida’s highly renowned class program. Not only are you exposed to world class thought leaders on a variety of topics, but the class creates lifelong friendships and for me and others a deep appreciation for Florida’s uniqueness and beauty. Recently, we attended the annual meeting in Orlando which was extra special for me because my son Ben graduated from College Leadership Florida. It’s now something we share and plan to remain involved in the organization for a lifetime. Next year, the 35th anniversary of Leadership Florida, brings the annual meeting to Palm Beach County. The event should be extra special and several of the Boca-Delray graduates hope to create an experience in Delray or Boca. It’s a chance to bring the movers and shakers in business, non-profits, education and

government to our community show them what we have to offer. Stay tuned!

SRT-100 hopes to disrupt the skin cancer treatment market, which unfortunately is growing.

Clutter is affecting your mood By: Cheryl Adelman Special to the Boca and Delray newspapers If clutter is negatively affecting your mood and self esteem, you’re not alone. Clutter is more about emotions than stuff. Feng Shui expert Tisha Morris reveals, “Clutter is stagnant energy and may be subtly affecting your own energy!” According to one study,* women get stressed, even depressed, seeing clutter in their home, while men don’t. This can cause relational tensions. The book, “Life at Home in the 21st Century” reveals details from the study. The Journal Of Neuroscience published results of a study from Princeton concluding, “clutter negatively affects our ability to focus and process information.” Why we have so much stuff Mikael Cho, of ooomf, explains, we accumulate each item because we think we need it, it has sentimental value, we’ve spent good money so we keep it, or we plan to read it or use it...someday. Often, we don’t even use many of the things we have, partly because we can’t find the stuff! Difficulty letting go It may be emotional to give away or throw away some of your things! But, this valuable process can be fun and easy, once you get in the rhythm. For

most of us, taking action is do-able and life enhancing.

for a

For some people it is painful. Kelly McGonigal Ph.D (TEDtalk, and, author, The Science of Willpower), sites results from a study at Yale School of Medicine, which likened brain activity in hoarders, during the process of deciding about throwing something away, with “smokers or drug addicts trying to quit.” The same areas of the brain show heightened activity. They feel conflict, anxiety, discomfort and psychological pain. It’s impossible to organize before you purge. Marie Kondo, tidying guru, reminds us we cannot get organized and create sustainable systems until we first purge. I feel that… “Things” are meant to support our physical, aesthetic, and emotional needs. However, we can lose sight of what it’s all for. De-clutter, while keeping what you love, then get organized! There is overwhelming evidence that you’ll be more energized, confident, liberated, happy and creative. Cheryl Adelman loves helping people get organized and happy.

Then Jack Happened

Dear Jack:

I’ve been dating a man for the passed three years and I have a confusing situation. He is extremely successful and runs his own business. I moved with him cross-country then from another city to the next. We live together in a house he bought. I have just started adjusting to my new city, got a job and some friends, but he is never around because he is traveling a lot for work. He told me the other day that he was ok with me dating other men, that he wasn’t going to date other women and that is just how it is when you are dating a big business owner. He said that he had this arrangement with his previous girlfriend.

I am ok with him traveling and being absent a lot but I want to be in a monogamous relationship. Do you think this situation is salvageable? I figure you can look at his plan one of two ways. Either he is into having an open relationship as he has clearly stated, which will be a problem because you want a monogamous relationship. Or, he’s throwing out the idea of an open relationship because he isn’t terribly into you but wants to maintain the current course of things for whatever reason. Either way, you should have another talk with him about what your long-term goals are for the relationship before you end up expending more time on a relationship that might not be going anywhere. One part of your question I find interesting is that he told you ‘that is just how it is when you are dating a big business owner.’ Far be it for me to assume what it’s like to date and live with a ‘big business owner,’ but I tend to disagree with this kind of wide brush kind of logic. At the end of the day, what he is talking about is what it is like to date HIM not just a ‘big business owner.’ The ‘big business owner’ statement is just a way to deflect responsibility away from what he really wants. The other flag is that this is how he did things with his previous

girlfriend. Emphasis on ‘previous.’ This might just be the first step he takes to passively indicate an end to the relationship. That’s why I tend to believe that he really isn’t as into you as you might think, or, he just doesn’t prioritize your relationship above what else he has going on in his life and he’s ok just keeping you at the house. And honestly, that’s ok if he is up front about his true feelings and opinion of your relationship. If you are satisfied with the status quo and decide to let it go then that’s up to you. But if you are curious if he is actually saying what he means and you aren’t completely comfortable with your relationship’s status then you need to talk to him about your concerns and clarify exactly what is going on. Be direct, be honest, if he is still unclear or evasive you have an indication of his true opinion. Those conversations can be difficult but they are necessary to make sure that you and your significant other are on the same page, or to find out if it’s time to move on from a disintegrating relationship. Delray/Boca, I’m ok with you seeing other people, but only if you promise to send me—and only me—your questions at thenjackhappened@gmail.com

It may be the middle of summer, but the folks at EPSN and local gridiron buffs are looking ahead to the week before Christmas for a special match-up that has put Boca Raton on the big time athletics map. It was recently announced by Executive Director Doug Mosley that the 2016 Marmot Boca Raton Bowl will take place Tuesday, Dec. 20. The game will be televised on ESPN at 7 p.m. from the FAU Stadium on the campus of Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. “The community has rallied around the Marmot Boca Raton Bowl as one of Palm Beach County’s holiday traditions and we are pleased that our 2016 game day and time falls in line with what has been successful the first two years,” said Mosley. “We believe this day and time make participating in the events around the Marmot Boca Raton Bowl very accessible

for families, businesses and visitors as they plan their holiday season activities, including what has become tabbed as ‘Boca’s Biggest Annual Outdoor Party’. We are looking forward to another great event this year.” The Boca Bowl was launched with considerable pomp and circumstance in December 2014. Marshall University, the champion of Conference USA, defeated Northern Illinois University, the champion of the Mid-American Conference, 52-23. The 2015 game brought a defensive battle to Boca Raton which ended with the University of Toledo defeating No. 24 Temple University, 32-17. “We are proud that the Marmot Boca Raton Bowl is quickly becoming a tradition for Boca Raton,” said Mayor Susan Haynie. “From the moment the game date is announced, we look forward

to finding out which teams will play and we enjoy all of the excitement that comes with their arrival and game day.” The announcement of the teams that will go head-tohead in the third annual Boca Bowl will not be made until later in the year, just before the preChristmas competition. Bowl week activities will begin with the arrival of the participating teams on Friday, Dec. 16. The team from Conference USA will make its headquarters at the Boca Raton Resort & Club and the American Athletic Conference team will be at PGA National Resort and Spa in Palm Beach Gardens. Dates, times and sites for the team welcome parties, beach parties, luncheon, pep rallies and other bowl week activities will be released at a later date. “We are excited to know the Marmot Boca Raton Bowl will continue for the third

year to be hosted on the Tuesday before the Christmas Holiday here in Palm Beach County” said Glenn Jergensen, executive director of the County Tourist Development Council. “Continuing as a night game, the week before season officially kicks off in the Palm Beaches, is welcomed news to the hotels, restaurants and tourism partners. Add to this the prime-time television coverage on ESPN and the game is a winner for all parties.” The Marmot Boca Raton Bowl is one of 13 bowl games owned and operated by ESPN Events, a division of ESPN. In addition to Conference USA and the American Athletic Conference, the bowl has a tie-in with the Mid-American Conference.

Airport improvements to take off in Boca Raton Boca Raton Airport seeks to advance, making way for change By: Adrianna Matamoros Special to the Boca Newspaper Additions and renovations are underway for the Boca Raton Airport, home to Boca’s state-owned recreational, operational and in-training flying facility.

installation of the EMAS is a symbol of the airport’s ongoing advancements in technology and safety protocols, according to Kohut.

The installation of two Engineered Materials Arresting Systems and the construction of a U.S Customs and Border Protection facility are in efforts to improve the airport’s safety measures and overall operation.

“The EMAS allows the airport to meet the required Federal Aviation Administration’s runway safety requirements,” he said.

The Engineered Materials Arresting Systems, also known as EMAS, will be installed to the airport’s Runway 5 and Runway 23. “The EMAS consists of a bed of low density, crushable concrete blocks that are designed to bring an aircraft to a stop in the event of an over run on landing or takeoff,” said Operations Manager, Scott Kohut. “The greatest benefit of the EMAS is the added level of safety for the surrounding community in the unlikely event of an aircraft overrun.” Improving the landing ability of aircrafts with the

Off the runway, the airport plans to expand with the construction of a U.S. Customs and Border Protection center. Currently in design, the facility will allow international flights to fly directly into the Boca Raton airport. “The Custom’s facility will have multiple benefits to users of the airport and the surrounding community,” said Kohut. “The facility will allow aircrafts arriving into Boca Raton from an international location to fly directly to the Boca Raton Airport instead of having to stop at Palm Beach International Airport or Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport.”

According to Kohut, allowing international flights to enter the Boca Raton airport would mean a reduction in fuel emissions, making way for cleaner flying conditions. He also explained that welcoming international flights into the Boca Raton airport would result in fewer flights over the area, benefitting the community with less noise and less jet fuel in the air. “It will eliminate an extra stop for tenants returning from an international location which saves time, fuel, and maintenance costs,” he says. The installation of EMAS and the construction of the Border Control and Protection facility are currently underway, with the EMAS installation of Runway 23 to be completed by summer 2017.

Nonprofit promotes positive social media posts to influence students media, the team knew having a social media presence was something they wanted to incorporate into their lessons.

By: Marisa Gottesman Associate Editor

“Kids follow multiple things on social media and they aren’t always positive,” Hamilton said. “We thought if we could get them to follow us we could be that one positive influence.”

They may not actually be twins, but Ashleigh Berke and Abby Hamilton are promoting identical messages about substance abuse to local students. The 24-year-old prevention specialists from the nonprofit Hanley Center Foundation make up TwinzTweet.

The posts are centered on nutritional and wellness topics. Berke said they post trending topics of the day, Throwback Thursday posts and tips.

The duo uses social media in tandem with their on-site, in-school lectures to help educate youths about different topics they may encounter including drinking, drugs and body image. Center Foundation come and speak to their classrooms at no cost to the school. Berke and Hamilton bring their own materials and speak to the students about drinking, drugs and other topics on a level the kids can relate to.

Council Corner

Action on sober homes, update on public safety By: Councilman Scott Singer Special to the Boca Newspaper On July 14, the Sober Homes Task Force, led by State Attorney Dave Aronberg, held its first of a year-long series of meetings, and I am honored to have been selected as Boca Raton’s representative to this panel of elected officials, prosecutors, medical representatives, and other community leaders. The legislature created the Task Force was Legislature to address statewide problems with the growing epidemic of drug addiction and deaths. Unfortunately, no place has been affected more than Palm Beach County, with thousands of sober homes, ranging from qualified residential recovery centers to shadier “flophouses” that can cram up to 20 people in recovery into a single house. The panel will provide recommendations at the end of the year, and our first meeting focused on four areas to encourage better practices and discourage bad operators from taking advantage of those who need help the most and neighborhoods dotted by

these facilities. As discussed in last month’s issue, federal efforts in this area have been so far ineffective and the state’s legislation on voluntary registration has had few takers. I look forward to developing recommendations for changing in the law to reduce unscrupulous marketing and brokering of patients. This local problem may find a statewide solution coming from those in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and the rest of Palm Beach County. *** As I write this, reports are coming on the most recent terrorist mass murder in Nice, France. The recent rise in these sickening attacks, both at home and abroad, remind us of how grateful we should be for the outstanding work of the Boca Raton Police Department. Since the Pulse shootings in Orlando, Boca Police has worked to increase its ability to respond to multiple events at the same time. Let us pray that we never need it, but be thankful for the

preparedness. The city’s police department is an active participant with the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force and maintains constant communications about potential threats to better maintain our residents’ safety. The efforts of our brave and resourceful police personnel continue to pay off. Overall, the number of crimes has decreased by more than 18% from 2010, when our figures were already among the lowest in the nation, to 2015, where we continue to be one of the safest cities anywhere. Our rate of crime is at our lowest levels since the 1970s. Boca Raton’s Fire Rescue Department also deserves praise everyday, and recently won a high honor. In June, Boca Fire received the highest grade in public protection from the national advisory board, ISO, which put us in the top 0.4% for all fire departments nationwide! Of the 47,000 fire districts in the country, Boca was one of only 178 to

receive this Class 1 rating. In the last six years, Boca paramedics have successfully revived while on scene more than 180 people who were experiencing cardiac arrest. The impact is not limited to only the 180 who had better outcomes, but also to the thousands of others who are grateful for the health of their loved ones and neighbors. With police personnel also the victims of terrorism recently, and the dangers faced everyday by police and fire rescue personnel, we have all the more reason to show support for the outstanding men and women who keep Boca Raton safe.

Councilman Robert Weinroth take on Boca’s relationship with Beach and Parks District By: Councilman Robert Weinroth Special to the Boca Newspaper and the Greater Boca Raton Beach & Parks District.

The honor of serving on the City Council of Boca Raton over the past two years has required me (like the Mayor and my fellow Council Members) to be nimble and able to make decisions on a broad range of issues impacting our residents. In addition to the issues we address directly, there are a continuing litany of opportunities to collaborate with our partners at the county, state and federal government. It is not always smooth sailing but, for the most part, we engage in a process of give and take, between ourselves and our partners, to arrive at solutions the parties feel best serve their constituencies. A little over a year ago at our annual strategic planning session, the Mayor, Council and City staff spent several days taking stock of our progress on achieving past goals and, ultimately, establishing our priorities, going forward. During that process, we agreed we needed to re-establish a strong partnership with the Boca Raton Airport Authority

When we met a year later to, again, review how we had done in addressing our priorities, we could take pride in the fact that our partnership with the BRAA was markedly improved. Through hard work and clearer lines of communication, misunderstandings were replaced by the Authority and City working collaboratively to ensure the airport continues to serve as a gateway to our City and an economic driver for the future. Unfortunately, as we turned our attention to the priority of rebuilding a strong partnership with the Beach & Parks District it was clear little, if any, progress could be reported. The strained relationship with the District, which had earlier resulted in this being identified as a priority by the Council, had, if anything, deteriorated. This is particularly frustrating since our constituencies are virtually identical. The City enjoys a level of parks and recreational amenities not typical of many communities in South Florida. Our miles of natural beaches and numerous District, community and neighborhood parks are among our City’s most valued assets. That being said, the current stalemate that has existed for my entire tenure on the Council, and prior, is not fair to the City staff, trying to deliver first class services and, ultimately, is unfair to residents of the District.

I am reminded of a cartoon depicting a vehicle with two drivers wrestling with the steering wheel, each trying to overpower the other to steer a course to their destination only to veer off the road and crash into a tree. This is clearly the situation where we find ourselves and that tree is still off in the distance – but it’s getting closer. Attempts to get issues resolved have stalled as the City and District have been unable to even agree on a date and time for a joint meeting for a year and attempts by City staff to negotiate an Inter-Local Agreement (setting out the roles and responsibilities of the City and District) were recently dealt a crippling blow when the District chair hand delivered their response to a draft agreement it had received from the City many months prior. Rather than offering a document with suggested edits (clearly marked to indicate where language was either deleted or added) the document delivered provided no guidance as to what has been changed sending the negotiations back to square one! The creation of the District over 40 years ago was due, in large part, to the perceived inequity for residents (predominantly those living in the east) shouldering the expense of our abundant recreational facilities. One must wonder whether the forces necessitating the creation of the District justify today’s dysfunctional oversight of our recreational amenities. It is abundantly clear this impasse must be broken in short order and an Agreement

executed to place the needs of our residents above those of the individual governing bodies. Unless and until the two independent governing bodies resolve to collaborate, our residents will be shortchanged by diminished recreational offerings. I for one still hold out hope that meetings can be scheduled in the near term and resolutions to break the impasse found.
