COMMUNITY FAU Receives $10 Million Gift to Establish Eminent Dean in Nursing

Florida Atlantic University received an estate pledge of $10 million from Holli Rockwell Trubinsky and her husband Joseph Trubinsky to establish the Holli Rockwell Trubinsky Eminent Dean in Nursing. The gift, approved by the FAU Board of Trustees, will create an endowed fund within the Florida Atlantic University Foundation to sustain exceptional leadership in the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing.

The Rockwell Trubinsky Estate Gift will provide the esteemed dean of nursing with resources to effectively respond to the changing needs of nurses and help transform the dynamic landscape of health care. The aim of this gift is to attract and retain the best and brightest leadership to the College of Nursing at FAU and create a positive and significant impact on the nursing profession.

“Through my work as a nurse and having served on the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing Advisory Board, I am acutely aware of the importance and impact nurses have in health care,” said Holli Rockwell Trubinsky, philanthropist. “Ensuring FAU’s ability to recruit and sustain extraordinary leaders who will train future generations of nurses is a priority and passion.”

The Trubinskys’ transformational gift to sustain excellence in leadership in the College was inspired in part by the guiding role of Christine E. Lynn in the creation of the College of Nursing and is an expression of their desire for the College to continue thriving in the nursing field.

Together, Holli and Joseph hope their gift will inspire and promote the College’s ongoing goals of training a distinguished

nursing workforce recognized for highquality clinical skills, rooted in compassion and person-centered care. This gift also advances the strategic priority of the University’s FAU Health Network, addressing health care professional shortages to improve the lives of citizens in South Florida and beyond.

“The Trubinskys’ gift truly is transformational for the College of Nursing,” said Safiya George, Ph.D., APRNBC, FAANP, dean and professor of the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing.

“The current nursing shortage throughout the health care industry has reached a critical point, and this gift, once realized, will help us draw the best and brightest to FAU and create positive and significant impacts on the nursing profession in the future.”

Holli Rockwell Trubinsky has served on the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing Advisory Board and the Caring Hearts Auxiliary of The Louis and Anne Green Memory and Wellness Center, supporting excellence in nursing in the South Florida community through volunteer activities at FAU for many years. She remains dedicated to providing a “handson,” skills-based approach to education, reflective of the College’s mission.

“We are extremely grateful for this generous gift from Holli and Joe, which will support excellence in nursing leadership and education,” said FAU President John Kelly. “Holli has been a wonderful friend to the university, and I am so pleased that the Rockwell Trubinsky name will forever be linked with FAU’s nationally ranked Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing.”

Veterans Parade – Thousands to March in Honor of All Veterans On Sunday, November 6, 2022, thousands of veterans, and supporters of veterans marched in the largest Veterans Parade being held in Palm Beach County. Hosted

by The City of West Palm Beach and Presenting Sponsor NewDay USA, the Veterans Parade is expected to draw thousands to participate in the parade and thousands more spectators to Clematis Street in honor of all veterans in our community.

In addition to honoring all veterans in our community, the 2022 Veterans Parade is in honor of a very special veteran who passed away in early June of this year, Tom Corey. Tom was drafted into the Army in 1966 as a squad leader with the 1st Air Calvary Division. While in combat in Vietnam during the Tet Offensive, he was shot in the neck, permanently damaging his spinal cord.

Beating all odds of survival, Tom returned to Michigan to rehabilitate to live as a quadriplegic. For his heroic service, Tom was decorated with a Bronze Star Medal with V device for Valor, two Purple Hearts, an Air Medal, an Army Commendation Medal, a Presidential Unit Citation, a Valorous Unit Citation, a Republic Vietnam Gallantry Cross, and a Combat Infantry Badge

www.bocaratontribune.com

The Veterans Parade began at 2 p.m. and travels from west to east on Clematis, starting at Rosemary and ending at Flagler Drive. While the entire route has prime spots for viewing, the best can be found at the corner of Clematis Avenue and Dixie Highway, where emcees Tim & Chelsea from New Country 103.1 and USMC veteran Brian Edwards will announce parade participants as they pass.

Friends of Veterans, Inc. and their Palm Beach County Veterans Committee are excited to announce that the 2022 Veterans Parade will be hosting more participants than ever in its fifteen-year history!

Leading the parade will be the 2022 Veterans Parade Grand Marshal Lieutenant General Frank Libutti, USMC (Retired).

At the time of his retirement, Lieutenant General Frank Libutti was the Commanding General, U.S. Marine Corps Forces Pacific/Commanding General, Fleet Marine Force, Pacific/Commander, U.S. Marine Corps Bases, Pacific headquartered at Camp H. M. Smith, Hawaii. He was also the Commanding General of Marine Forces Central Command.

We have come to realize it’s not just about the exceptional food, wine and ambiance.

We’ve learned over the past several years that by hosting these dinners we are building a bond with our community. We have met so many incredibly kind and generous donors, plus the wonderful representatives of CHS, who are so generous with time, talent and heart. Not to mention the generous, selfless work of the extraordinary chefs who cook with heart to benefit this worthy cause. Working together with a common goal to improve the lives of children such as those who benefit from the support of CHS has been one of the most rewarding endeavors for us.”

See The Comics That Inspired the new Netflix Movie “Slumberland” What do the new Netflix movie “Slumberland” and FAU Libraries’ Jaffe Center for Book Arts have in common? The inspiration for the movie, based on the comic strip “Little Nemo in Slumberland” by Winsor McCay, can be found at the Jaffe Center, as the story’s original comics are part of the collection at the Boca Raton campus. To commemorate the film’s release, these limitededition items will be on display until Dec. 18.

“Slumberland,” released on Friday, Nov. 18, is directed by Francis Lawrence, written

by David Guion and Michael Handelman, and stars Jason Momoa as Flip, an eccentric half-man, half-monster who guides Nemo (Marlow Barkley) through the land of dreams and imagination for a chance to see her late father one more time.

FAU’s Jaffe Center for Book Arts has two Sunday Press limited-edition books of the original comics, published in 2005 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of “Little Nemo in Slumberland.” “Little Nemo in Slumberland: So Many Splendid Sundays!” and “Little Nemo in Slumberland: Many More Splendid Sundays!” contain complete, fullcolor reprints of the best comic strips in the same size as early 1900s newspapers, allowing modern readers to have the same experience as their counterparts 100 years ago.

“FAU Libraries benefactor Arthur Jaffe loved the original comics as a child and purchased the books as soon as they were pub-

lished, eager to add them to his growing collection,” said John Cutrone, director of the Jaffe Center.

McCay, an American cartoonist and animator, created Little Nemo’s character in 1905, and the full-page, weekly comic strip ran in the New York Herald and New York American for the next 20 years. The comics became McCay’s best-known work and are considered a masterpiece for their use of color and perspective and the author’s skills in visual storytelling.

The comics depict Nemo having fantastic dreams that take him into “Slumberland,” or bring fairytale characters to the familiar streets of New York City. Each strip ends with the boy waking up in the final panel.

The Jaffe Center is open Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and appointments are recommended. For more information, contact John Cutrone at 561-297-4189.

POSITIVE LIVING By: Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Do You Know Where You Are Going?

A challenging question once posed to me was: “Where will you be when you get where you’re going?” I quickly recognized that it had much more to do than with geography only. It could entail a location but, more importantly, it related to where one will be physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, spiritually, and in other life dimensions as well.

Far too often, people only let life happen to them instead of being proactive in attempting to shape the way things need to go and to be. Many people never measure consequences nor think of the results of their own choices and actions.

Yet, it is easy to expect that lack of purpose and of planning leads to inevi-

table failure. For a long time people may still move in a forward direction, based on previous impulses they had received, still maintaining motion which, unfortunately, won’t lead nowhere!

There is no need for anyone to wake up suddenly to an unpleasant new reality when a positive, enduring accomplishment could’ve been planned in advance. Unfortunately, many dreams are never realized simply because they are constantly being altered by the dreamer.

You cannot reach a destination by checking in the wrong map!

The healthy challenge is for one to seize each moment, not necessarily to remain there, but to continue moving farther ahead while grasping impacting,

new realities. Maintenance of the status quo will never produce satisfaction; moving in the wrong direction will never lead to the right place.

People often wake up too late to recognize that their life was wasted for lack of proper planning, and on account of gross neglect of what brings lasting results and permanent fulfilment.

Avoid inaction and illegitimate action if you wish to get somewhere. Don’t count on time alone, which may never be sufficient, or even available, nor on a future that is still so uncertain! The consequences of inaction, or of delayed action, can be destructive of life itself!

Don’t just make plans! Rather, begin to execute them as quickly as feasi-

ble; take the necessary steps to see ideas fleshed-out, plans made concrete! Never stop in pressing on toward the mark.

Forbid yourself to live aimlessly for lacking good direction! Live each new day with a clear aim, and what you desire for yourself will come to pass in far greater measure than your expectations!

The life you may count on living, and more fully enjoying, is a life of action and of urgency, before it can become a life of legitimate leisure. You can’t control the outcome of much that happens, even as a result of your best efforts. But you can control your behaviour, your reactions, your judgments! Your attempts, which can lead to enduring satisfaction, must begin with the right step!

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 self-confidence, or listening to the echoes of discouraging, even demeaning words they have heard in the past.

November 25 - December 1, 2022

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 speaking to some of His followers about the importance of singleminded 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 child-

www.bocaratontribune.com

hood, 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.

In this timely, timeless classic, 12 jurors deliberate the fate of a teenager accused of killing his father. As the evidence is weighed, the prejudices and social attitudes of each man are revealed – as are the strengths and flaws of the American justice system.

By: Robert J. Tamasy

Confession: Good For Everyone’s Soul Most experienced speakers understand communicating some of their personal failures can be endearing to an audience. The only problem is that to actually do that requires humility and transparency at a level where many people are unwilling to go.

That is why I was so impressed in listening to Chip Ingram’s talk at a “Faith Incorporated” event we conducted in our city.

Speaking about the importance of personal integrity, Ingram confessed some of his personal shortcomings to his audience.

He did not just reflect on incidents from the distant past, but also on some recent circumstances that he admittedly was not proud to acknowledge. Many of the listeners were surprised by his openness and candor as he confided to what was essentially a group of strangers.

Ingram’s sincere revelations were not only transparent, but also very instructive.

As he told his story, citing his own failings to illustrate his focus on integrity, he did so in a way that served to provide a vivid example of humility for everyone in the meeting room. At the same time, it seemed as if he was granting his hearers permission to be genuine themselves, rather than hiding behind facades of pretense.

In the business world, we often strive to impress others by always attempting to cast ourselves in the most favorable light. We prefer to keep our personal sins and failures hidden in the shadows. What Ingram was doing, however, was applying an important biblical principle. Proverbs 28:13 teaches, “He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.”

Community

Hopefully for Ingram, his openness enabled him to feel mercy from God as well as from the crowd. I know that for me, his account caused me to realize I have many failings of my own and have no room to cast stones or pronounce judgment on others.

Of course, there are many reasons for being reluctant to share our personal shortcomings and failures with others: embarrassment and shame are among them, but pride is perhaps the greatest inhibitor of all.

We do not want other people to know our imperfections – despite our awareness that everyone is far from perfect. Nevertheless, pride drives us to try to prove to others that we are better than we really are.

It might help to consider two important admonitions we have from the Bible. The first is a simple but sobering declaration: “There is no one righteous, not even one” (Romans 3:10). The second also is found in the Old Testament book of wisdom: ”Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor” (Proverbs 18:12).

My own experience has taught me that we would be well-advised to heed this counsel from the Scriptures. If you have committed a personal sin at work, do not attempt to hide it. As difficult as it might seem, confession is usually the best course of action.

The wrongs we commit have an annoying way of revealing themselves, sometimes at the most inopportune moments. It might be wise to take a proactive approach, confessing failings candidly and in a timely manner, rather than waiting for them to be revealed in some other way – much to our disgrace.

5 Ways to Protect Yourself and Your Loved Ones This Holiday Season (StatePoint) The holidays are right around the corner, and experts are already seeing a rise in respiratory illnesses like influenza (flu) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). In addition, COVID-19 continues to be a serious health threat in the United States.

As you gather with family and friends this holiday season, remember that one of the most important gifts you can give your loved ones is the gift of health. For a healthier, happier season, the American Lung Association offers these five tips: 1. Get your COVID-19 and flu shots: The single best way to stay healthy and protect others is to be up to date on your recommended COVID-19 vaccinations and make sure all of your loved ones – from those aged 6 months to 100+ years – are also up to date on theirs. This includes the new COVID-19 booster shot, which is expected to provide protection against the most recent variants and subvariants. It’s also time for your annual flu shot. Staying current with all your vaccinations is key to protecting your health.

2. Keep your medications and mask

with you: If you are traveling, make sure to keep your regular medications and a mask with you (not in your checked luggage). It is good to have a mask on hand if you are with someone who is immu-

nocompromised and prefers you to wear one.

3. Consider testing: Before large gatherings, consider doing an at-home COVID-19 test as an added layer of

confidence that you are healthy. The average cost of a two-pack self-test at the drugstore is $25 and is covered by most insurance policies.

4. Wash your hands often: Scrub with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If you’re unable to wash your hands, using hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol is a good alternative. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, as it allows the germs on your hands to reach moist, porous surface tissue where the germs can enter your body and cause infection.

5. Stay home if you’re sick: Stay home when you are feeling ill. If you have symptoms of COVID-19 or flu, you should test immediately and contact your healthcare provider if you are at high risk for severe illness to discuss possible treatment options.

With COVID-19, the flu and other seasonal illnesses spreading nationwide, take steps to protect yourself and those you love to make this a happy and healthy holiday season for all.

Must-Have Tools for Entertaining With Ease This Holiday Season (StatePoint) ‘Tis the season for gatherings galore. Whether you’re an all-star entertainer or a first-time host, having the right tools will set you up for success— meaning you can spend less time in the kitchen and more time with loved ones.

Here are a few must-haves to add to your holiday shopping list: Classy and Creative Cocktails Create memorable cocktails or mocktails that everyone will be talking about with uniquely shaped craft ice. Tovolo offers a variety of craft ice molds to fit every occasion—from spheres and sports balls to novelty and holiday ornament shapes. The easy-to-use, durable, stackable molds are dishwasher safe for easy clean-up. Plus, the slow-melting shapes keep drinks cool for longer. So, drop them in for fun and festive drinks at your next gathering.

Pops in a Pinch Popsicles aren’t just for summertime.

In fact, they’re a great option for a holiday crowd since you can prep them well in advance, and they make for a light dessert after a night of feasting. With Tovolo Stackable Pop Molds, simply puree some fruit – strawberries, kiwis, etc. – pour the mixture into the molds, stack them in the freezPlus

er, and voilà, you’ve got a delightful treat that basically made itself. Better yet, guests can add the fruity pops to a glass of champagne or cocktail of choice to add flavor and keep drinks cool.

Table-Worthy Tools When hosting a dinner party, dishes will inevitably pile up in the sink. One way to cut down on dirty dishes is to use a set of

kitchen utensils that is both stylish and attractive, so you can go from the stovetop to the dining table without needing to dirty any additional tools. Another tip is to make the meal family style, which allows your guests to choose what they want and reduces the need to portion out individual servings, ultimately giving you more time to enjoy the party.

Spatulas That Make You Smile

www.bocaratontribune.com

From cookie batters to mashed potatoes, everyone needs a quality spatula to whip up their favorite holiday dishes. And now you can add both fun and function to your feast with Spatulart Spatulas featuring double-sided holiday designs and puns.

With a nylon core, these high-quality spatulas provide strength for the heaviest mixing jobs and silicone edges that remain flexible for easy scraping. Plus their FSC-certified wood handle makes them an environmentally-conscious way to add a touch of whimsy to the kitchen roster.

Functional and Fashionable Bowls Despite the name, mixing bowls can be one of the most versatile kitchen tools, used for mixing, prep, storage, and if you choose a stylish design like stainless steel, even serving! Why dirty multiple dishes when you can opt for one-bowl recipes?

When it comes to entertaining, it’s best to work smarter, not harder.

Having the right tools makes all the difference when you’re preparing to be the host with the most. Be sure to equip yourself right for a season of easy and festive holiday prep, and don’t forget that when it comes to hosting, versatility is the name of the game.

FAU Announced Estate Gift Commitments from Longtime FAU Benefactors Florida Atlantic University’s Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters and the S. E. Wimberly Library recently celebrated the announcement of significant estate gift commitments from longtime FAU benefactors Howard Weiner, M.D. and Judith Weiner. Their generosity will enhance support to the existing Howard and Judith Weiner Spirit of America Endowed Advancement Fund and will establish two new endowed funds.

The Howard and Judith Weiner Spirit of America Advancement Fund supports three fellowships for advanced graduate students completing a residency, utilizing the Marvin & Sybil Weiner Spirit of America Collection at the FAU Libraries.

These fellowships are advertised to advanced graduate students both nationally and within FAU, which support a joint venture between FAU Libraries and the Huntington Library in San Marino, California. The core mission of the fund is to provide support for events and programs through the Department of History to promote the Marvin & Sybil Weiner Spirit of America Collection.

The Marvin and Sybil Weiner Spirit of America Collection consists of more than 13,000 books, pamphlets, government publications, newspapers and serials, including rare works dating to as early as the 16th century. Originally inspired to emulate the personal libraries of men like

Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, Marvin Weiner (Howard’s father) spent a lifetime amassing this distinguished collection which was donated to FAU in 2006.

“We are thrilled with the FAU Libraries for its superb stewardship of our father’s nationally acclaimed collection,” said Dr. We i n e r .

“We are equally appreciative of the College of Arts and Letters for implementation of programs and activities that expose young through old to our country’s unique heritage, a compelling mission so dear to our dad. We are also proud to promote the humanities and the outstanding theater programs. It is our privilege to support FAU in perpetuity in thanks for having immensely enriched our lives.”

The Howard and Judith Weiner Spirit of America Endowment Fund will be es-

tablished as an endowment to enhance the Marvin and Sybil Weiner Spirit of America Collection within the S. E. Wimberly Library, including expanded community outreach efforts.

“The Spirit of America Collection is a priceless historical research gem that the FAU Libraries is profoundly fortunate to have been entrusted by the Weiner family to house, curate, develop, promote and share with the south Florida region and the world,” said Linda Maire Golian-Lui, Ed.D., dean of the FAU Libraries. “It is our honor to work with distinguished scholars, such as those associated with the Huntington Library, to fully utilize the potential of this collection while discovering new treasures within this remarkable collection. The passion and ambassadorship that Howard and Judith Weiner have for the Spirit of Ameri-

ca Collection will be well-supported with their Spirit of America Endowed Advancement Fund for a lifetime of researchers. I cannot thank them enough for entrusting the FAU Libraries with furthering the vision of their father, supporting their passion for the Spirit of America Collection, and for their philanthropic support for the FAU Libraries.”

Generosity from the Weiners also will create the Howard and Judith Weiner Theatre Lab Endowment Fund which will establish an endowment within the Theatre Lab, FAU’s professional theater company located within the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, to foster a connection with FAU theater students in the Department of Theatre and Dance.

“We are blessed to have Judy and Howard Weiner’s continued generous support of our academic programs in arts and humanities, and their special commitment to the Department of History and our thriving theater programs,” said Michael Horswell, Ph.D., dean of the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters. “Their gifts will support students and faculty into perpetuity, ensuring the highquality humanities programs and theater performances for which FAU has become known, and enabling the careers of hundreds of students who wish to make a difference in the world with a liberal arts education.”

Parker receives South Florida Ultimate CEO award Palm Beach State President Ava L. Parker, J.D., has received the 2022 South Florida Ultimate CEO award from the South Florida Business Journal for her visionary business leadership.

The award was presented by Comcast Business during a ceremony Nov. 17 at The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort. As a recipient, Parker was featured with other honorees on the cover of the business journal’s Nov. 18 edition.

Parker was among 15 honorees, who were recognized for their amazing contributions to their company, the community and the overall economic fabric of South Florida.

Parker was spotlighted individually on Aug. 31 as part of the journal’s weekly “Ultimate CEO Insights” in print and online, leading up to the awards ceremony. The magazine also selected her as a 2022 Power Leader in Education for its Sept. 30 issue.

“Thank you for this award and congratulations to all the Ultimate CEO honorees,” Parker said during the ceremony. “I am delighted to accept this award on behalf of Palm Beach State College. The ultimate CEOs are our students at Palm Beach State College. They are the future.”

Parker also shared the advice given November 25 - December 1, 2022

to her by one of her mentors, who said, “Always challenge yourself to do more.”

“That is how I start each day, with the thought – What more can I do to help each of our students achieve their goals?” she said.

Parker, who has served as president of Palm Beach State since 2015 and is the first female president in the history

of the institution, also said that PBSC is proud to be among the great 28 public colleges preparing the future workforce and moving students and their families up the economic ladder.

Under Parker’s leadership, the College, which will be celebrating its 90th anniversary next year, opened a fifth campus, improved student success rates,

increased enrollment growth, developed a Cross-Cultural Equity Institute, was designated top status of GOLD in the Florida College System ranking in 2017, and increased support for the College from both public and private sources.

The College has also been named five times among the top 150 community colleges in the nation eligible to complete for the Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence. It also has been chosen a “Top 10” Military Friendly® School for the fourth consecutive year

by VIQTORY, a highly regarded military publisher; is ranked among the Top Online Colleges by Newsweek and Statista; and is recognized as one of the Top 100 Colleges for Hispanic Students

by Hispanic Outlook magazine.

A tale of love and fantasy comes to Boca Raton starting this weekend.

The Wick Theatre is opening its stage to the timeless classic, Cinderella, just in time for the holidays.

Written by the legendary Broadway songwriters Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, who brought to the stage such musical classics as The Sound of Music, Oklahoma! and South Pacific, the fairytale is filled with marvelous melodies and heartfelt lyrics.

An enchanting experience for the entire family, Cinderella runs from Nov. 25 to Dec. 24, with evening shows on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and matinees on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tickets are $79-$99 and are available at www.thewick.org or by calling the box office at 561995-2333.

“More than just a glittering ball gown and glass slippers, this stunning adaptation was nominated for nine Tony Awards,” said Marilynn A. Wick, executive managing producer. “Presented in the inimitable Wick style, with elaborate costumes and sumptuous sets, this beloved fairytale is the perfect fit for the holiday season.”

One of musical theatre’s most popular titles, CinderSociety

ella was originally written for television, making its debut in 1957 and starring Julie Andrews. It was then remade in versions starring Leslie Ann Warren (1965) and later with pop singer Brandy (1997).

In 2013, the show made its long-overdue Broadway debut with a new book by Douglas Carter Beane, while retaining the cherished score including “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible/ It’s Possible,” “Ten Minutes Ago” and “Do I Love You Because You’re Beautiful?”

For this production, The Wick welcomes back Broadway Director Norb Joerder, who has helmed more than a dozen shows at the Wick, including last season’s blockbuster Gypsy. Also on board are Music Director-to-thestars Bobby Peaco and the choreographer for this season’s Milk and Honey, Oren Korenblum.

Stepping into the famous glass slippers are two acclaimed performers -- Mallory Newbrough, who just won her second Carbonell Award and whose many stage performances include Belle in Beauty and the Beast at Wick, and Daniella Mass, who starred as Eva Peron in The Wick’s production of Evita.

The Wick Theater is located at 7901 N. Federal Highway in Boca Raton.

Boca Ballet brings annual ‘The Nutcracker’ performance to Olympic Heights Theater

By Dale King Ring in the holiday season with Edith Stein’s presentation of Boca Raton Ballet Theatre’s The Nutcracker on Thanksgiving weekend.

Join young Clara as she ventures into a world of magic, snowflakes and sweets, featuring a sparkling array of divertissements performed by worldrenowned guest artists and a cast of Boca Ballet Theatre’s talented dancers.

It’s a cozy Christmas Eve at the Stahlbaum’s house. Their house is decorated with Christmas ornaments, wreaths, stockings, mistletoe and in the center of it all, a majestic Christmas tree. As the Stahlbaum’s prepare for their annual Christmas party, their children, Fritz and Clara, wait anxiously for

their family and friends to arrive.

When the guests finally appear, the party picks up with dancing and celebration. A mysterious guest arrives dressed in dark clothing, nearly frightening Fritz, but not Clara. Clara knows he is Godfather Drosselmeyer, the toymaker. His surprise arrival is warmly accepted, and all the children dance and carry on with laughter.

The production will be presented Friday, Nov. 25 at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 26 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 27 at 2 p.m. at the Olympic Heights Performing Arts Theater at 20101 Lyons Road, Boca Raton.

In addition, families attending matinee perfor-

mances can join the Boca Ballet Theatre for the Gingerbread Ball. The event follows the afternoon performances on Nov. 26 and 27.

Children will have the opportunity to come backstage and meet the cast of the show, including Clara, the Sugar Plum Fairy and her cavalier, the Nutcracker Prince, and more. Come see the amazing sets and costumes up close, take pictures with the performers and collect autographs from the cast.

Attendees of this special event will also receive a goody bag to take home.

Tickets to the Gingerbread Ball are $10 each and will be sold separately from tickets to The Nutcracker performance. A parent must accompany children.

“More than 500 guests participated in this incredible celebration of our organization’s history and its dynamic partnership with Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center,” said Sally Berenzweig, its CEO. “The Pap Corps has made an indelible impact on the lives of countless people during these seven decades. Without funding for cancer research, we wouldn’t have the groundbreaking, life-saving treatments that have allowed so many to make the journey from patient to survivor.”

During the event, The Pap Corps honored two icons of the community, beloved supporter Gerald Yass for his generous contributions towards groundbreaking treatments for melanoma, and Dr. Stephen D. Nimer, M.D. for his transformative leadership at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, South Florida’s only NCI-designated cancer facility.

The milestone event also featured an emotional champagne toast led by event chairs Beverly Berkowitz, Nancy Levinsohn and Paula Karp; an energetic and historic ‘dancing through the decades’ routine by Legends Radio host Angela Manfredi and champion ballroom dancer Artur Tarnavsky and videos highlighting Mary Denaro’s inspiring survivor story, the achievements of the past presidents and an emotional thankyou from the team at Sylvester.

“This event highlighted our amazing history and that for 70 years we have never failed to raise funds for cancer research,” said Chair Susan Dinter. “We are proud of our legacy of being ‘Champions for Cancer Research.’ Our vision is a ‘world without cancer’ and we will never give up until we have achieved this goal, and we will only achieve this because of the dedication and commitment of our members.”

The Pap Corps expressed thanks to the many sponsors who support this event, including The Harcourt M. and Virginia W. Sylvester Foundation; Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Miami Health System; the Wrobel Family Foundation, L’Oréal Paris; Susan & Ed Dinter, Linda & Joel Moses, Judith Harold; the Wechsler Foundation; Sharon Goodhart Travel Agency; Alan Joyce of Raymond James; Heidi S. Schaeffer, M.D. Charitable Trust; GL Homes; PNC; Bauman Medical; Opal Grand Oceanfront Resort & Spa; Nothing Bundt Cakes; Searcy Law; Daszkal Bolton; AmFund; Hotwire Communications; Madeline Wolfson; Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits and media sponsor Boca Magazine.

Since its founding in 1952, The Pap Corps, a 501(c) (3) charity, has donated more than $110 million to Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, including a historic $50 million pledge in 2016. The Pap Corps derives its name from Dr. George Papanicolaou, a pioneer in cytopathology and early cancer detection, who introduced the world to the revolutionary ‘Pap’ test to detect cervical cancer. A small group of women began the organization to support his efforts, and over the decades it has grown into an organization of more than 20,000 men and women in more than 50 chapters who raise funds to support research for all types of cancers.

SPORTS PBA Men’s Basketball Wins Defensive Slugfest at Home

The Palm Beach Atlantic men’s basketball team returned home on Tuesday night to face Clark Atlanta.

Tonight’s game was a defensive matchup. PBA shot 40 percent from the field while holding Clark Atlanta to 33 percent from the field in the game. The Sailfish forced 18 turnovers while grinding out a 63-56 win.

PBA had three players reach double-digit scoring. Jalen Cooper led the way with 14 points and eight rebounds. Will Lee scored 12 points with four rebounds and two assists.

Trent McNair scored 10 points with three rebounds and two steals.

Although the Sailfish led for 38 minutes of the game, PBA had to grind it out near the end of the matchup. The ‘Fish seemed ready to close it out after a made free throw by Marcus Montalvo made it a 13-point lead. The Panthers didn’t go down easy, forcing turnovers on the defensive end to cut the PBA lead to five. Fortunately for the ‘Fish, they took care of business at the free throw line down the stretch to win the game, 63-56.

PBA shot its best in the first half.

The Sailfish shot 50 percent from the field, including 11 points from Cooper. The Panthers did force PBA into coughing up the ball nine times, but the ‘Fish matched them by forcing nine turnovers on the other end.

November 25 - December 1, 2022

A made layup by Aleksa Rakic at the buzzer gave PBA a 31-20 win at the break.

The Sailfish struggled to get their shot to fall in the second half, shooting 33 percent in the second half. PBA did clean it up in terms of taking care of the ball while continuing to heckle the Panthers on defense, forcing nine more turnovers.

PBA had three players reach double-digit scoring. Jalen Cooper led the way with 14 points and eight rebounds.

Owls Fall to Blue Raiders in Road Finale

The Florida Atlantic University football team (5-6, 4-3 C-USA) fell to Middle Tennessee (6-5, 3-4 C-USA) by a 49-21 final on Saturday in Tennessee.

The FAU defense had its hands full from the opening drive of the afternoon. MT went 75 yards in six plays on the game’s first possession to open the scoring. The Owls responded with an 86-yard drive, capped off by a N’Kosi Perry sneak at the one-yard line. Perry connected with Je’Quan Burton for 43 yards earlier in the drive to set up the score.

The Blue Raiders missed a short field goal on their next drive before putting together three straight possessions that ended in touchdowns.

Down 28-7 late in the first half, FAU got a big play from Jaleel McRae to flip the momentum going into the intermission. The freshman linebacker intercepted MT quarterback Chase Cunningham and returned it inside the five-yard line. A few plays later, Larry McCammon bulldozed his way into the endzone to cut the deficit in half, 28-14.

Middle Tennessee regrouped and resumed its scoring run with another TD drive to start the third quarter. FAU counterpunched when Perry found a wide-open Jahmal Edrine down the sideline. The 45-yard catch and run made it 35-21. Again though, the home side needed just seven plays on the ensuing drive to go back up by 21.

The Owl defense was able to force the first Blue Raider punt of the game late in the third quarter.

Perry then hit LaJohntay Wester with a 31-yard pass that set FAU up at Sports

the one-yard line to start the fourth quarter. Two plays later, in an attempt to replicate the first quarter QB sneak from the goal line, Perry tried to punch it in, but after review, had the ball stripped and recovered by MT in the end zone for a touchback.

MT delivered the dagger later in the quarter with their seventh scoring drive of the night to make it 4921.

“We didn’t do anything well tonight and that starts with us as coaches. That starts with me. I need to make sure we’re prepared as coaches, and we need to have a better plan for our guys,” said Hagerty Family Head Football Coach Willie Taggart.

“We didn’t play smart football with all the penalties that we had. Two of their touchdown drives we had them stopped and selfish penalties extended the drive. We have no choice now.

Expert Orthopedic Care Close to Home Isn’t Just for Athletes

If you’re suffering from an orthopedic problem — whether it’s a bad back, a sore knee or shoulder, a sports injury or arthritis — even a short drive can make the pain worse. Thanks to two convenient Baptist Health Orthopedic Care locations in Palm Beach County, you have easy access to the experts who have the experience, technology and facilities to treat your problem quickly.

“Seeing a professional sooner rather than later can often prevent more complex problems down the road,” says orthopedic surgeon Anthony Miniaci, M.D., deputy chief medical executive of Baptist Health Orthopedic Care. “Most orthopedic issues don’t require surgery, but whether yours does or doesn’t, it’s our goal to get you back to a pain-free lifestyle.”

The team at Baptist Health Orthopedic Care includes orthopedic surgeons specialized in joint replacement, foot and ankle, trauma and sports medicine, primary care sports medicine physicians and physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists. With a wide range of expertise, the team can handle everything from the most common injuries to the most complex.

With increasing life expectancy, an accident or injury resulting in an orthopedic problem is almost inevitable at some point. Among the most common orthopedic concerns are sprains and strains, muscle and tendon

tears, fractures and other traumatic injuries, and arthritis. In addition, back pain causes more visits to physicians than any other orthopedic problem. Some conditions are caused by repetitive motion and wear and tear on the body, while others could be the result of a congenital, or birth problem.

With the most advanced imaging and other diagnostic tests, doctors at Baptist Health Orthopedic Care can quickly pinpoint the issue and address it. Nonsurgical and minimally invasive options are explored first, but when surgery is indicated, each patient receives an individualized treatment plan. Services also include regenerative medicine, such as stem cell treatment, pain-relieving injections and physical therapy.

“We have a dedicated team that is known for caring for some of the country’s most famous professional and collegiate athletes,” Dr. Miniaci says. “But you don’t need to be a pro to receive the same care. We are here to help diagnose your problem and promote quick healing.”
