Boca Helping Hands to Unveil the Sun Capital Annex and Celebrate $1M in Lifetime Support from the Sun Capital Partners Foundation Boca Helping Hands (BHH) will unveil the Sun Capital Annex, a warehouse responsible for feeding tens of thousands o f i n d iv i d u a l s throughout the region, on Thursday, October 13 at 1 p.m. at 1500 N.W. 1st Court, Boca Raton. The event will recognize $1 million in lifetime support from the Sun Capital Partners Foundation, whose support has been critical to BHH’s development over the past decade. The Foundation’s most recent $100,000 matching gift brought them to the $1 million milestone.

“We want to honor the Sun Capital Partners Foundation’s generous contributions to Boca Helping Hands, and also shed light on the considerable impact their support has had on our organization,” said Greg Hazle, Executive Director of Boca Helping Hands.

Sun Capital’s support over the last decade includes helping BHH to purchase a new refrigerated truck for food recovery, hosting food drives, volunteering, and matching end-of-year campaign donations to help BHH raise critical operating funds during the pandemic. They have also provided additional support through matching employee contributions and purchasing tickets to events.

The Sun Capital Charity Committee, which makes each year’s funding decisions, consists of engaged employees who volunteer to serve each year to benefit their community with available Foundation funds.

“Since the Sun Capital Partners Foundation was founded in 2007, we

have supported more than 700 charities, focusing on innovative nonprofits that have a strong culture of social engagement and provide a direct, positive impact, both globally and in local communities,” said Marc Leder, Co-CEO of Sun Capital Partners and president of The Foundation. “We are proud to support Boca Helping Hands and do our part to help ensure they can continue to provide assistance to those most in need.”

Leder and his Sun Capital Partners co-founder and co-CEO Rodger Krouse started the Sun Capital Partners Foundation with the belief that success brings with it a responsibility to make a difference.

Boca Helping Hands has tripled both its staff and budget over the last 10 years, growing from a humble soup kitchen and food pantry that assisted Boca Raton residents to a multi-service agency that now provides more than 27,000 people in South Palm Beach County with hunger-relief services, emergency financial assistance, access to healthcare, and job training each year.

“We wouldn’t be where we are today without the support of crucial philanthropic partners like Sun Capital,” said Gary Peters, Boca Helping Hands Board Chair.

Education Foundation of Palm Sundy Village Donates $12,000 to Beach County Receives Grant from Palm Beach County Public Schools Florida Power & Light Company to EmPOWER STEM Educators

Florida Power & Light Company recently awarded more than $11,400 to Education Foundation of Palm Beach County as part of its statewide EmPOWERing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) Educators Program. The program’s goal is to increase teacher knowledge of effective math and science instructional practices that align with Florida Standards through peer-to-peer learning of best practices within a district.

The funding will support the Education Foundation of Palm Beach County’s “EmPOWERing STEM Educators in PBC” project, which aims to address the clear need for science education support, especially in urban districts, as well as provide teachers with the tools to implement hands-on learning during science periods. Classroom visits and observation followed by debriefs and profes-

sional planning sessions, as well as additional coaching and support, will be incorporated.

The schools that will benefit from this grant include Frontier Elementary School, Jupiter Farms Elementary School, Elbridge Gale Elementary School, Forest Hill Elementary School, Morikami Park Elementary School and Addison Mizner Elementary School.

“High-quality, engaging, standardsbased instruction is critical for students to build strong foundations in math and science,” said Mary Chance, president and CEO, Consortium of Florida Education Foundations. “Through this program, we are grateful to provide our teachers with a valuable learning opportunity that will benefit both their professional development and the education of students across six schools in Palm Beach County.”

FPL is partnering with the Consortium of Florida Education Foundations (Consortium) to bring the EmPOWERING STEM Educators Program to school districts throughout the state. Since 2010, the Consortium has administered hands-on, workplace-based STEM classroom learning experiences to increase student awareness and interest in STEM careers. Together, the Consortium and FPL developed this program specifically for math and science teachers.

Diversified, multi-strategy real estate and private equity investment firm Pebb Capital is continuing its commitment to the local Delray Beach community, the future home of its transformative Sundy Village mixed-use project. To mark its role in the area, Pebb Capital organized its second Back-toSchool donation, with $12,000 of much need supplies and support for local elementary, middle and high school students in Delray Beach. Further, it is a sponsor of the Atlantic High School Eagles football team for the 2022-23 academic year, a key opportunity to positively impact those in the academic setting.

In what has become a multiyear supply donation for Palm Beach County Public Schools, Pebb Capital coordinated needed school materials for S.D. Spady Elementary, Village Academy and Carver Middle School. From backpacks and notebooks to board games and personal protective items, like hand sanitizer, Pebb Capital created custom packages for each school.

The occasion was celebrated with an inperson donation to key administrators at each school on October 4.

“The Delray Beach community has been rooted in our company for decades, and we are honored to assist teachers and families with needed items and ease the financial burden they may be facing at this time,” said Todd Benson, principal with Pe b b C a p i t a l .

“We are proud to be part of Delray Beach and look forward to prospering together.”

Sundy Village is a transformative, mixeduse development located at the gateway of Downtown Delray Beach.

Spanning approximately seven acres, the destination will serve as an entryway to the entertainment corridor of Downtown Delray Beach, introducing a lifestyle retail and hospitality experience that offers historical elements in an urban setting. Features include 96,000 square feet of ‘Class A’ office, more than 26,000 square feet of retail, the landmarks Sundy House and Cathcart House, underground parking and other elements that honor the area’s history and future growth.

FROM THE MAYOR’S DESK By: Mayor Scott Singer

Boca Raton – A City with Continued Low Taxes and Safe Neighborhoods; A Vision Ahead While the message in much of the country is of higher taxes, deficit spending, and spiraling crime rates, we are fortunate to have the opposite of all these in the City of Boca Raton. In September, we approved our city budget for the coming fiscal year from October 2022 to September 2023. I am pleased to share that, yet again, Boca Raton has one of the lowest property tax rates of any full-service city in Florida. Our rate is less than half that of West Palm’s or Miami’s and lower than nearby cities: Delray Beach, Deerfield Beach, Boynton Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, Hollywood, and the other comparable ones. Of course, most people would not trade our quality of services, parks, and amenities for the ones in those cities. In fact, for the tenth year in a row, our city’s property tax rate has only decreased or stayed the same.

I’m proud to have voted for consistent reductions in the rate and never for an increase. Unlike the federal government, our budgets must be balanced, and we maintain healthy financial reserves to guard against disasters and downturns in financial markets. Our strong reserves also ensure we

have funds to take advantage of opportunities – like the rare moment we seized to bring a Brightline high-speed rail station to Boca Raton later this fall.

Above all, Boca Raton remains a safe and livable city, thanks to the best-in-class public safety professionals. In the last few months, I’ve traveled to four of our largest American cities (not on the taxpayers’ dime). In each one, people warned me about areas downtown where it was not safe after dark – areas that should be part of prime tourist activity. I was disheartened to see tent villages in parks that I used to see as thriving public spaces. The degradation of the quality of life in these American cities is beyond saddening. Boca Raton is a stark contrast – as crime rates have been down over the last four years from what were already 40-year lows before that span. We have the safety we need, the peace of mind we want, and the caring first responders we expect.

In recent issues, I’ve discussed some of the goals that came out of our strategic planning sessions on maintaining a healthy economy and infrastructure. We all chart-

ed visions of enhancing our vibrant and sustainable city. In our recent budget, we funded several initiatives in this area. We are working to enhance safety for pedestrians and bicyclists and to decrease the number and severity of crashes. In the coming months, FDOT is due to open a new diamond diverging interchange at Glades Road and I-95. The new design is focused on reducing left turns, making traffic move faster and more safely. We also allocated some funding to expand the art in public places program and proceed with our sustainability action plan by further recycling in public areas.

In light of rising inflation and the money supply from the federal government, we are working on plans to take a regional approach to the cost of housing. We are looking at working together with nearby cities to ensure more attainable housing within the region. Other cities can provide options for housing that will still serve our employers, and my discussions with other mayors reflect what we know – home prices are a regional issue that requires a regional strategy.

We look forward to discussions through a

working group throughout the area.

To close out on costs, our city is mindful of the pinch we are feeling in pocketbooks. Our water and sewer rates are far lower than nearby cities, compounding the value that our residents receive compared to other areas. In fact, some of the nearby cities mentioned above have rates four or five times higher than ours! We keep a close eye on keeping costs low and money in your pockets – where it belongs.

We are fortunate that with our efficiently run and successful city, we can focus on providing services effectively and plan to avoid the challenges that too many other cities are facing. I am running in the upcoming March 2023 mayoral election to help see more of these goals to completion and keep working to raise and exceed expectations for what our great city can be. I would love to hear your thoughts on what we can do together to reach our goals.

Please share your comments, by email at ssinger@myboca.us, or on the web at singerforboca.com, and stay connected for more news @ScottSingerUSA on all social media platforms.

POSITIVE LIVING By: Dr. Synesio Lyra

Drying One Another’s Tears Humans have been fashioned, and put into the world by the creator as social creatures. As such, they are not to live in isolation from one another, but to be mindful of their fellows, in good times and bad. Blessed are those who recognize this truth and fulfill what this reality demands!

There’s no question that caution requires that we don’t get involved too easily with anyone, for anything. Yet, there are enough individuals in any society who give enough indications of their reliability and who are also open to the courtesies and genuine love expressed to them, even by strangers! It’s most heart-warming to see reports on television of unique, tragic circumstances through which an individuOctober 14 - October 20, 2022

al or family may undergo, and to contemplate the outpouring of support in manifold ways, from countless persons who sympathize with the plight of another.

Several years ago I was attracted to a book on account of its title, “Tear Catchers.” By reading its compelling message I also learned it was the name of an organization, founded by the book’s author to provide a simple, yet most significant service.

The key idea was to be ready to befriend others going through sad moments and lending a shoulder to cry, a compassionate ear to listen, and eyes ever alert to the needs of others, because there’s always something one can do to diminish misery, and personally (not intrusively)

get involved in situations where tears can be dried up, and solutions found and provided to varied rough experiences faced by others.

I never forgot what impressed me greatly at some point during my childhood, when an organized group of people in the large city where I resided, took upon themselves to scan several of the daily newspapers, looking for families who had undergone some tragedy, or lost a loved one, or who were reported as experiencing some tough situation in life.

The amazing result of that communal project, was establishing immediate contact with the needy family, by phone or in person, to inquire from them more fully regarding what could be done for

www.bocaratontribune.com

them in their difficulty. That act itself, through the concern shown, were factors that right away diminished the pain being faced by an individual or family. What started as an experiment in expressing, loving kindness, became an ongoing effort of communal compassion, until conditions improved and the help was no longer needed.

Such altruism still has a place in any society, for any city or town, regardless of its size, has countless persons daily shedding tears who will welcome those “tear catchers” or others who can take an interest in their condition and do whatever is within their power. And as you do unto others, it shall also be done unto you at your time of need!

What Is Holding You Back?

Occasionally someone will call to talk with me about struggles in their business that puzzle them. They have a good product, possess skills needed for their business, and feel called to what they are doing, but cannot seem to prosper. They are managing to survive but have found themselves unable to thrive.

Because I have been there in my own business experience, I can point them in a direction that might feel uncomfortable, like looking in the mirror. Many businesses have the necessary ingredients for success, but something continues to hold them back.

Sometimes it is fear, reluctance to take calculated risks necessary for further growth and development. Other times it is a lack of selfconfidence, or listening to the echoes of discouraging, even demeaning words they have heard in the past.

Negative self-talk can be a formidable foe in trying to build a business. However, I think it would be safe to say that every person who has ever achieved success – whether as an inventor, innovator, visionary, or leader in any sphere – has had to overcome both fear and memories of past failures.

We have the classic examples of the Wright brothers, often ridiculed for their idea that it would be possible for humans to fly, and Thomas Edison, whose success inventing the incandescent bulb came only after failing hundreds of times. If they had listened to their detractors, or lost confidence because of past failures, they would have stopped dead in their tracks.

Just as trying to drive a car by staring in the rearview mirror, continually looking backward in life can severely affect our ability to move forward. Jesus Christ was speak-

www.bocaratontribune.com

ing to some of His followers about the importance of single-minded commitment to following Him. He said, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62).

It is hard to keep to a straight path if we are constantly looking to see what is behind us.

So, how can we turn what we know to be a good product, along with the skills we possess and our passion for what we are doing, into success? I think another passage from the Bible gives us the answer. Romans 12:2 offers this prescription, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.”

The world around us is very eager to tell us that we cannot succeed, that what we are trying to do is foolish and doomed to failure. We might carry with us memories dating back to our childhood, memories of harsh, mean-spirited declarations that convinced us that our hopes and dreams would always be unattainable, forever beyond our reach.

Don’t wallow in your past. We need to dispose of such mental “garbage.” And the best way for doing this is to ask God to help in renewing your mind, enabling you instead to line up with how He sees your potential.

Focus on what He says about you and what He desires to do, both in you and for you.

Writing about many adversities he had to overcome, the apostle Paul stated, “I can do everything through [Christ] who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13). He also wrote, “And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). If you believe the Lord has called you to a particular enterprise or cause, trust Him to provide what you need to succeed.

Medicaid and CHIP Give Children Access to Behavioral Health Services (StatePoint) Over the last two years, the mental health crisis in the United States has gotten worse. A major reason for that is the COVID-19 pandemic, which has contributed to a rise in anxiety and depression among young people.

But even before the pandemic, as many as one in six children in the United States between the ages of 6 and 17 had a treatable mental health disorder, a 2019 JAMA Pediatrics study found. For parents, it’s a stark reminder that mental health and support for children is crucial.

“Young people are facing unprecedented stress. Increasing access to highquality pediatric mental health services is a critical step to addressing the youth mental health crisis,” said Dr. Aditi Mallick, chief medical officer, Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. “As a physician and mother, I have seen firsthand how foundational mental health is to the overall health and well-being of our country’s children, and Medicaid and CHIP can help families access the care they need.”

If you think your child may need

mental health services, you have health coverage options. One of those may be free or low-cost coverage through Medicaid and CHIP. Below are some frequently asked questions about these services.

What types of mental health services are covered under Medicaid and CHIP?

With Medicaid and CHIP coverage, children have access to a number of services to prevent, diagnose, and treat mental and behavioral health disorders, including: • Autism spectrum disorder • Attention deficit disorder

• Anxiety disorders • Depression • Substance use disorder Does my child qualify for Medicaid or CHIP? Eligibility generally depends on your income level and household size, and varies by state. You’ll find that some programs offer coverage to your entire family. Medicaid and CHIP enrollment is open year-round, and the process to apply has gotten faster. Many families can apply and find out if they qualify the same day. To learn more about state-specific coverage options or to enroll, visit InsureKidsNow. gov or call 1-877-KIDS-NOW. Take charge of your child’s mental health Mental health care for children is an important part of their development. So, take time to explore your health coverage options, including Medicaid and CHIP. Looking for more mental health resources for children? Visit CDC.gov to learn more about children’s mental health.

5 Ways to Be More Sustainable This Summer (StatePoint) You don’t have to be a sustainability expert to incorporate elements of eco-friendly living into your everyday routine. This summer, think about the small changes you can make that can add up to make a bigger difference.

• Store Sustainably: Single-use plastics are difficult to avoid when protecting fragile household items or delicate holiday décor. Cut down on plastic cushioning and packing foam usage by incorporating Flourish Brand Honeycomb Cushion Wrap to cover and safely store your breakable and fragile items. The interlocking structure is easy to stretch and secures to itself without any tape needed.

• Give Green: It’s often difficult to find the perfect presents for housewarming gatherings, family holidays and hostess gifts. Spread some sustainable love by gifting a plant to that hard-to-buy-for-friend or neighbor, Plus

or even give something green as a surprise for someone special.

• Environmentally Friendly Connection: Sending a package to a distant loved one is a delightful way to brighten someone’s day, but unfortunately many mailers feature excess plastic wrapping or aren’t made of earth-friendly materials. Ship sus-

tainably by choosing an eco-friendly option like Flourish Honeycomb Recyclable Mailers. These mailers feature 100% recyclable material packaging and include a die-cut honeycomb layer to create space and cushioning that helps protect items during shipment, without using unnecessary plastic. Additionally, they can easily be

www.bocaratontribune.com

tossed into the recycling bin after use.

• Make Small Changes: Living sustainably can sound intimidating at first. Like any shift in habit though, changing behavior may take a while to stick, but small, consistent adjustments will mean the most over time, especially when it comes to everyday things like reducing your use of single-use plastics, and switching to reusable shopping bags and food containers. Take things one small step at a time. For example, commit to recycling one additional item each day.

• Enjoy the Outside: Being active is always easier on warm, sunny days.

Take advantage of summer weather to reduce your personal carbon footprint and get some healthy exercise!

Find ways to do this by walking or biking instead of taking a car to the store. If you need to travel a longer distance, opt for public transport or carpool instead.

Lake Worth Super Hero Fighting Two Programs at FAU Awarded Cancer receives Dream Bedroom Grants to Support Student Success Makeover When asked what he would like in his bedroom makeover, six-year-old Eli from Lake Worth, was full of wishes! He would like a bunkbed with a desk and play area underneath, a basketball hoop, a punching bag, and he loves Spiderman and Dr. Strange.

Thanks to Special Spaces Boca Raton and State Farm®, Eli who is undergoing treatment for Wilms Tumor, a rare kidney cancer, will receive his wish.

On Oct. 7 & 8, Special Spaces together with State Farm agents created an amazing bedroom for Eli. His eight-yearold sister’s bedroom was also spruced up with new bedding, window treatments and some decorative items.

“Super Hero Eli screamed when he opened the doors to his Avenger bedroom” says Peggy Peterson, Director, Special Spaces Boca Raton Chapter. “Eli’s dream bedroom makeover was extra spe-

cial because a few days ago he rang the bell ending chemo treatment!!”

Special Spaces was founded on the precedent that children battling cancer need their own space; a special space of hope and inspiration, a place to heal, recover and find comfor t. “I can’t imagine the emotional roller coaster these families g o through, and it warms our hearts when we see the positive, life-changing impact a bedroom makeover has on a child and their family.” says Peggy Peterson, Director, Special Spaces Boca Raton Chapter.

“Giving back to communities where we live and work is at the heart of who we are at State Farm,” said Jose Soto, State Farm Corporate Responsibility Analyst. “We are proud to team up with Special Spaces to provide Eli a special dream bedroom”.

Florida Atlantic University has been awarded a $1.4 million federal grant over a five-year period to support a Trio Upward Bound program at FAU, which provides post-secondary support and resources to 60 eligible participants in Broward County public schools.

TRIO Upward Bound is one of the largest and longest-running federal programs designed to help students with academic potential who need additional preparation and motivation to prepare for, enter and succeed in college. The program provides ongoing academic support, tutoring, counseling, post-secondary resources, college tours and cultural enrichment activities.

“As an institution founded to provide access to students in South Florida and committed to student success, FAU is grateful for the opportunity to partner with the administrators and instructional faculty of Broward County Public Schools in addressing college readiness for students in our service area,” said Larry Faerman, Ph.D., acting vice president of student affairs. “This grant allows us in continuing to provide much needed educational support to the students who benefit from the Upward Bound program and Educational Talent Search programs.”

FAU recently also was awarded an

Educational Talent Search program. This multi-five-year grant awards more than $1.3 million in funds to support 500 eligible program participants in several middle and high schools in Broward County. The program will help middle school students work to prepare for high school, and high school students work to prepare for college or a career of their choice.

Both Upward Bound and Educational Talent Search are part of the federally funded TRIO programs that provides academic support to low-income and firstgeneration college bound students. To qualify, students need to either meet TRIO low-income guidelines or be first-generation college, meaning neither parent has obtained a bachelor’s degree.

FAU now has an opportunity to provide post-secondary support and resources to the following Broward County public middle and high schools: Lauderdale Lakes Middle; McNicol Middle; Parkway Middle; Pompano Beach Middle; Blanche Ely High; Boyd H. Anderson High; Coconut Creek High; Dillard High; Deerfield Beach High; Hallandale High; Hollywood Hills High; Northeast High; McArthur High; and South Broward High.

Beyond Varicose Veins:

Medical and Cosmetic Treatment Offered at Baptist Health Vein Care and cosmetic to address varicose veins and other symptoms of venous disease.

“We look at the entire circulatory system,” says Eileen de Grandis, M.D., a vascular surgeon and medical director of the Vein Clinic.

“We look for venous disease, arterial disease and lymphatic disease. We get you the right diagnosis for what you have, and then tailor a plan to treat what you want and need.”

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted or bulging veins that can be blue, red or skin-colored. They’re a very common reason for women to visit a vein clinic. But about half of all women who consult with Dr. de Grandis are diagnosed with other underlying health issues.

aricose veins often spur women to visit vein clinics that offer mostly cosmetic solutions.

Affecting an estimated 30 million U.S. adults, varicose veins may cause swelling, aches and pains.

Sometimes a result of blood clots deep inside the leg, and not always considered serious, they can lead to skin ulcers. Enlarged varicose veins and swollen legs may also signal other potentially serious health issues, such as deep vein thrombosis or DVT.

In serious cases, DVT can cause a blood clot to partially or totally break away and travel to the lungs.

“Many women will have multiple problems, such as heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes,” explains Dr. de Grandis. “We treat the aesthetic as well, but we are a comprehensive vascular center and we treat the circulation system as a whole. The Vein Clinic offers a wide range of procedures tailored to your needs. These may include: ■

Ablation – removal of veins with a heat source

Grand opening held for Dr. Barbara Carey-Shuler Equity Institute official site Palm Beach State College held a grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony Oct. 4 for the official home of its Dr. Barbara Carey-Shuler Equity Institute that aims to improve retention and close the graduation gap for minority students.

The College reconfigured and renovated a section of the second floor of the library on the Lake Wor th campus for the Equity Institute, which launched in 2020 and was named in honor of a local philanthropist whose $1.6 million investment made it possible. The Dr. Barbara Carey-Shuler Equity Institute is the first of its kind in the Florida College System.

Encased with glass windows and doors containing pictures and inspirational quotes of current and historical figures, the Equity Institute provides comprehensive support, workshops and resources to help students overcome barriers to their education and succeed.

“I don’t think that your ethnicity

should determine your trajectory when it comes to an academic opportunity,’’ PBSC President Ava L. Parker, J.D., told the crowd of about 75 people, recounting her conversation about the College’s various needs with Carey-Shuler at a community event in 2019. That led Carey-Shuler, a former longtime educator and Miami Dade County Commissioner who now resides in Palm Beach County to step up to help address disparities in PBSC’s graduation rates. “ We b e g an to talk more about it,’’ Parker recalled. “What often happens is that when you go to a university setting there will be some institute of Black culture, some institute of Hispanic culture or some office that’s designed to help level the playing field so that all students have the same opportunity. You don’t see that vision in the community college setting. So often the assumption is that because we’re an open access institution and provide lots of support to everyone

that we can just work with a cookie-cutter model. We should all finish at the same time, but that’s not what the data supports.”

Parker said with an Equity Institute the College can study the data of all students, and when the data shows some students are falling behind their peers, the College can “pour into those students so that they can be on level with their colleagues.”

Currently, the graduation rate for PBSC first-time in-college students is 41.7%.

However, the graduation rate is 37.2 % for Black students at PBSC while it is 44.3% for Hispanic students and 41.9% for white students. The gap is wider for Black male students, whose graduation rate is 27.1% compared to 38.8% for Hispanic males and 38.9% for white males.

The Equity Institute’s key priorities are expanding access to college through outreach initiatives; increasing opportunities for students to be successful through strategic programming and services, and accelerating completion to keep students on track to achieve their goals. It oversees three programs – Aspiring Male Panthers, Sister to Sister and NextGen Summer Bridge, a new comprehensive enrollment and retention initiative that launched this year to help first-year college students. The institute also will focus on peer-reviewed research on such topics

as the Black male experience in college.

“This is special not only for the county but also for the state of Florida to have an institute like this that raises the issue of equity,’’ said Carolyn L. Williams, chair of the PBSC District Board of Trustees.

Carey-Shuler, who was the first African American woman to serve on the Miami Dade County Commission and first African American person to serve as chair, said when Parker shared the deficiencies in retention and graduate rates for Black males especially, she had to get involved.

She’s happy to see the Equity Institute come to fruition and become a model for other institutions.

“I’m excited about what has already happened and what is going to happen in the future,’’ Carey-Shuler said. “The ribbon-cutting and celebration is wonderful.

What is most important is what is going to happen in this space.”

Dr. Karline Prophete, interim director of the Barbara Carey-Shuler Equity Institute, said she also is excited about having the Equity Institute move into its physical space.

“Having a physical space is a visual representation of the commitment we have to student success,” she said. “To see this come to fruition is going to be the springboard for us executing all the goals we have and being able to do that across all five campuses.”

A.D. Henderson University School Top Three School in the Nation

Florida Atlantic University’s A.D. Henderson University School has been ranked the No. 2 Best Public Elementary School, No. 2 Best Public Middle School and No. 2 Best High School in Florida by Niche, the largest website for researching public and private K-12 schools.

Henderson is also ranked the No. 3 Best Public Elementary School in America in the publication’s 2023 rankings.

Niche examines thousands of K-12 schools across the United States and ranks them based on a variety of factors, including test scores, student-teacher ratio and reviews from students and parents. For example, Henderson received October 14 - October 20, 2022

www.bocaratontribune.com

an A+ in the areas of administration, academics, diversity, college prep, food and teachers.

“We are so proud for our entire school community on this astounding achievement,” said Joel Herbst, Ed.D, superintendent of schools. “To rank in the top three public schools in the country since 2017 is a remarkable feat that surely highlights our community’s dedication to education and excellence.”

Niche uses reviews, surveys and the most up-to-date data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) to compare, score and connect data points to analyze schools.

The Boca Raton Tribune

SPORTS FAU Prepares for Showdown With Sailfish Down Eagles 2-1 to Move Rice Up SSC Standings When the Owls take the field this Saturday, it will be the 260th time for Florida Atlantic University football (24, 1-1 C-USA). It also will be the 21st time FAU football has served as a homecoming host. FAU holds a 12-8 record on homecoming and will put that mark to the test when Rice University (3-2, 1-0 C-USA) comes to town this Saturday for a 6 p.m. matchup at FAU Stadium. The game will air on ESPN+ and on Fox Sports South Florida 640 AM. The FAU Owls are 1-2 all-time versus the Rice Owls, capturing the 45-25 win during the last meeting between the two programs in Houston on Nov. 5, 2016, behind a 257-yard rushing effort by “Motor” Devin Singletary.

FAU will continue to look to the offensive line this week in an effort to get back on the winning track.

The “o-line” is listed No. 5fifth nationally in sacks allowed (0.67 per game) and No. 7 in the nation in tackles for a loss allowed (3.33 per game).

Offensive Coordinator Brent Dearmon On Rice’s defense “They are playing well defensively right now. You look at them, they played UAB and held one of the better rushing attacks in our conference to under their season average. Those guys are flying around. They’re doing their assignments. They do a really good job of mixing things up in their looks and calls. For us, we just have to play sound football.

We have to focus on us and playing with great detail.”

On how the O-line matches up against Rice’s defensive line “Our experience is always going to help us out with the amount of stars that we have up front with guys that have played in big games. Guys that have played in front of multiple looks, multiple fronts, and multiple pressures.

I don’t think it’s very tough to get those guys motivated. I think as coaches, we just have to do a really good job of mixing up the looks that we show our guys this week and prepare them in practice.”

On improving on solid offensive October 14 - October 20, 2022

production “If I told you we were averaging almost 460 yards [per game], you would think we would have more points than what we’re averaging right now. Right now, we had six times in the red zone where we should have gotten more points than we got. We had two red zone turnovers, two red zone turnovers on downs, and a blocked field goal, so those things can’t happen. We [have to] clean up those things, continue to get better on third down, and can’t get outscored like we’re doing in the third quarter. We’re killing ourselves in the third quarter by not coming out of halftime and being successful. I think we can clean all of those areas up.”

On the emphasis to the players “Going back to a baseball reference, when yo u ’r e i n a s l u m p, sometimes coaches talk to you and tell you that you need to get a bunt down. You need to find a way to generate a hit. We’re coming off of three- straight losses, so you start pressing a little bit more. You start doing things a little bit out of character. You don’t trust in your technique.

So, when you’re struggling and you’re pressing, you have to go back to the basics, and you have to find that W. That’s been our emphasis this week.”

On simplifying the offense “We have to help our QB with his reads. Make it simple on him. We have to let our running backs make plays for us.

We looked at our drops. We also looked at our third quarter and how we can get better as playcallers, how we can get better at what we’re asking our guys to do, because right now we’re getting outscored in the third quarter. Those four areas are what we really focused on.”

On the key to improving in the third quarter “This year, we’ve been really good on third down outside of the third quarter. We just have to be better on third down (in the third), we are getting to third-and-one, third-and-twos, and we’re not moving the chains. We just have to continue on the same path on third down.”

The Palm Beach Atlantic men’s soccer team returned to the Rinker Athletic Campus for the first time in nearly a month as they took on the Embry-Riddle Eagles. The Sailfish scored two goals before securing the 2-1 victory as they move to 7-2-1 overall and 3-2-1 in the Sunshine State Conference.

The Sailfish came out of the gates strong as they controlled the possession and moved the ball with tempo in the opening 15 minutes of play. Harrison Ardron had a great chance in the sixth minute as he got behind the Eagles’ defense but put his shot wide of the net as he went one-on-one with the keeper. Michael Pahr had a chance for a Sailfish corner four minutes later but he was unable to get on top of the ball and it went over the crossbar.

The chances finally paid off in the 18th minute when Yannick Toth played an overthe-top through ball to Federico Serra. Serra lifted the ball over a charging Eagles keeper to score his second goal of the season and put the ‘Fish up 1-0. PBA out-

www.bocaratontribune.com

shot the Eagles 4-2 in the first half and took the 1-0 lead into the halftime locker room.

Sailfish keeper Guillermo Falo was called upon to make just one save in the opening half, but he made a great one just moments into the second half as he charged out and saved an Embry-Riddle chance in the 48th minute. The ‘Fish got a free-kick outside the Eagles’ box in the 57th minute and for the second consecutive game, Toth found the back of the net on a shot directly off a free-kick.

After taking the 2-0 lead, the energy and urgency fell for the ‘Fish as the Eagles got more of the ball and created a few chances in the final minutes. Embry-Riddle outshot the ‘Fish 8-5 in the second half and Falo made five saves. He was unable to keep his shutout as the Eagles broke through in the 84th minute of play, but the Sailfish were never really threatened again as they closed out the 2-1 victory.

With the win, the Sailfish move up into a five-way tie for second place in the SSC standings with ten points. The ‘Fish still have four games remaining on the year and will travel to Melbourne on Oct. 15 to face a Florida Tech side that is 5-0-5 on the season and part of the tie for second place in the league.

Edition 585 - 19

WKU Edges FAU Women’s Soccer, 1-0 WKU took a 1-0 decision over the Florida Atlantic University women’s soccer team on Thursday evening. The Owls now dip to 7-6-3 and 3-3-1 in Conference USA play, while W K U bumps its record to 6-5-3 and 3-2-1 in the conference.

WKU took the lead only 10 minutes in by way of an Abby Davis goal.

Davis took a shot off a corner kick that was blocked, but got it right back off of a rebound and punched it in.

Bri Austin had an opportunity three minutes prior, but was stopped by WKU goalkeeper Alexis Bach. Despite coming away with the loss, FAU held a big edge in shooting with a 12-4 lead throughout the game, including a 5-1 lead in shots on goal.

The Owls also finished the night with a 9-2 lead in corner kicks.

The Owls put four shots on goal in the second half. Two came from Gi Krstec

and Daniella Diaz in the 53’, with Diaz’s look coming off a corner kick. Krstec and Thelma Hermansdottir took back-to-back shots that were saved by Bach in the late 77th and early 78th minute.

Krstec g enerated the most shots with three on the night. Austin & Mia Sennes each took a pair of shots. FAU has played its fair share of low-scoring and close games this season. The Owls have allowed one goal or fewer in 14 of the 16 games this year, including nine in a row. Defenders Jodi Smith and Amanda Martin once again went the distance and played the full 90 minutes. Krstec saw only four minutes of rest to log 86, while Hailey Landrus recorded 85 minutes of action.

The Owls will return home to face Louisiana Tech on Sunday, Oct. 16, for a 1 p.m. kick.

PBA Men’s Cross Country Cracks Into USTFCCCA Rankings

The US Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association released their region polls for week four of the fall season. The Sailfish men earned a ninth-place ranking, their highest placement in program history.

The ‘Fish have had a solid year so far this season. They have placed in the top five as a team in three of their four races this year so far, with a first-place finish at the Keiser Flagship Invitational on Sept.

3. Their most recent race, the FSU Invitational, was a solid showing for them as they placed 15th against some NCAA Division I teams as well as top region ranked teams.

The Sailfish can attribute their success this season to their newcomers as well as some key returners. Freshman Toinou Laigle has been the leading runner for the ‘Fish in his early career. He has finished in the top three in two out of the three races he’s competed in, including a first-place win at the Keiser Flagship Invitational. Jake Lonsdale has been a key veteran this season with two top-ten finishes to his credit.

PBA will look to use this ranking as a momentum boost heading into the final few races of this season. They will race again on Oct. 22 for the Alabama Huntsville Invitational.

PBA Women’s Soccer Fall At #3 ERAU

The Palm Beach Atlantic women’s soccer team dropped a road match to No. 3 Embry- Riddle 3-0 on Wednesday night.

For the Sailfish (1-6-3), it was their first matchup against a ranked opponent this season.

The Eagles scored two early goals in the first half. In the ninth minute, ERAU’s Isabelle Navren kicked a shot into the back of the net that gave the Eagles a 1-0 lead.

ERAU followed it up with another goal in the 11th minute. ERAU’s Marie Myhrvold Siem distributed a cross to Saba Amiri near Sports

the net. Amiri buried the shot for a 2-0 ERAU lead.

A PBA own goal extended the Eagle’s lead to 3-0 in the 46th minute. The Eagles maintained possession throughout the match as the match ended at 3-0. The Eagles took 15 shots in the match and five corner kicks. 23 players appeared in the match for the Sailfish. PBA’s Taylor Jackson started in net for the ‘Fish and led the match in saves with four.

Next, PBA returns home for a match against Florida Tech on Saturday, Oct. 16. www.bocaratontribune.com
