Community Boca Raton Green Market Celebrates 21 Years

Grab your shopping bags and head on over to the Boca Raton GreenMarket held every Saturday, 8am to 1pm, beginning October 28 through May 13, 2018. Now in its 21st year of operation, the Market takes place at the south end of Royal Palm Place in the Monument Piazza parking area located at the intersection of S Federal Highway and SE Mizner Blvd. Plenty of parking is available adjacent to the GreenMarket vendor site.

Boca’s GreenMarket has continually been dedicated to local food production and consumption….produce that travels from farm direct to the dining table……and through the process supporting the Florida agricultural industry and the economy of our south Florida area. Each Saturday, fresh locally-grown fruits and vegetables as they become available in their individual growing seasons---along with fresh herbs, soaps & lotions, juices, potted orchids, ocean shells, fresh cut flowers, assorted variety of plants, fresh baked goods, prepared foods, oils & vinegars, gourmet foods, hydroponic and organic foods, fresh fish and seafood, fresh pasta, doggie treats ---are available for purchase.

Several of the vendors have participated since the Market began in 1996, with a few new vendors joining each year. Community service organizations participate

from time to time to share information or to promote a special project.

The market has blossomed into a Saturday morning community meeting place to have a fresh cup of coffee, a bite to eat, listen to some music, pick up some local produce, plants, grab a gift for someone or restock handmade soaps or candles. It’s just a ‘fun’ place to be on Saturday morning in a relaxed atmosphere….a place for the entire family, including the family pup, to enjoy a few hours in the out-of-doors.

Several special activities, promotions and customer giveaways are planned at various times throughout the Market season. Live music takes place on the Piazza Stage on select market days featuring local bands, solosits, and school groups.

The Boca Raton GreenMarket is supported by The Boca Raton Tribune, Florida Health & Chiropractic Medicine, Aurora Nurses Home Health Care, Inc., Investments Limited, Inc., Palm Beach County, Happy Day Creations, Premier Productions LLC, LivingFLA.com, and “FRESH from FLORIDA,” a promotional campaign of Florida’s Department of Agriculture and Consumer Affairs.

Rotary Club of Boca Raton West delivers Supplies and Raises $12,000 for Hurricane Victims

By: Bryanna Basilio

Hurricane Irma may have ravaged the Florida Keys but the Rotary Club of Boca West is determined to help.

“We started to get in contact with other organizations such as soup kitchens and began to get more volunteers,” said Valnice Silva, a member of the club. “We wanted to reach out to the community and help them as much as possible.”

The hurricane that slammed and devastated the Florida Keys on September 10 still has residents overwhelmed by the havoc it caused. As residents returned to their homes to assess the damage; plucked trees, displaced boats and vehicles, and debris became a common occurrence. While the relief efforts has been tremendous, local Boca organizations have also taken part in the initiative, the Rotary Club of Boca West among them.

The Brazilian-speaking club collaborated with PIB Church to collect 100 pounds of food, water, and supplies for the Florida Keys. The club also raised $12,000 for the Irma victims. The Rotary Club of Boca West also worked alongside Global Assistance Foundation and Volunteer Emergency Relief (VER) to deliver the donations.

“Every member participated in the process, from picking up and dropping off supplies, making care packages,” said Silva. “We had someone constantly updating our page and translating the information. It was a group effort, everyone was involved.”

The Rotary Club of Boca West was not the only rotary club to help the relief efforts. Boca West reached out to Fort Lauderdale Rotary Club, which had a cargo plane going to Key West full of supplies for the Florida Keys. The two clubs decided to pack their donations

www.bocaratontribune.com

together. “Each club tries to help one another,” Silva explained.

“Because Irma hit the whole state and other parts of the Caribbean and we have Maria coming in right now, there is still things to be done and this is going to be taking months,” she said. “We are lucky and very fortunate to not have been as impacted as other parts. The economic impact, we will feel for a while but we are trying to make sure people have food on that table.”

Vera Schafer, the club’s president, was very satisfied with the club efforts, “We couldn’t have done it without our members and the organizations that delivered the donations. Without the cargo plane this wouldn’t have been possible either, so we are especially happy that the donations reached the Keys.”

The hurricane relief efforts are not over, according to Schafer, “While the plans are not solid yet, we do want to do a similar initiative as we did for the Keys, helping deliver supplies and raising funds for Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria.”

“They really need it and we want to help them as much as we can,” said Schafer.

Currently the Rotary Club of Boca Raton West is still seeking funds for the Florida Keys. 30% of all sales up to from the jewelry designer Anny Stern website will given to the club’s relief efforts. The fundraiser ends Oct. 19.

The Florida Keys remains closed to tourists following Hurricane Irma, while water and electricity are restored and storm damage repaired.

Key West expects to completely re-open on Oct. 1, in time for Fantasy Fest, a street party similar to New Orleans’ Mardi Gras. Other area have opened while more severely damaged areas are expected to take a few months to fully be repaired.

Boca Raton Firefighters Deliver Supplies To The Florida Keys

Palm Beach School Board Approves Make-Up Days for Hurricane Irma

School Board members unanimously approved three previously scheduled professional development days for teachers in the School District of Palm Beach County as make-up days for Hurricane Irma.

These days – October 16, November 3 and January 8, 2018 – were presented to the School Board for approval at Wednesday’s regular Board meeting, and approved as make-up days. All Palm Beach County schools were closed seven

school days to prepare for and clean up after Irma.

Two of the days were waived by Florida Education Commissioner Pam Stewart. The District will have met the instructional requirements without the additional two school days lost to Irma.

The decision to make up the days was made after consulting with an advisory group of principals, teachers and other community stakeholders.

By: Jack Rubin

Though Hurricane Irma’s effects are becoming less noticeable in Boca Raton, the storm’s impacts are still being felt in the Florida Keys.

Cities all across the state are working to bring the Keys back to full strength.

Boca Raton’s relief efforts came to Marathon, FL on Friday, September 22. The City of Boca delivered a moving truck and a full 18-wheeler truck of much-needed supplies to the Marathon City Hall.

The supplies included non-perishable food items, tents, bedding, toiletries, and many other essential items.

Boca Raton firefighters and paramedics led this cause. Public Information Officer Bob Lemons remarked, “It did

not take long to realize that the citizens and business of Boca Raton and the sur-

rounding communities were going all out to support this cause.” The Fire Department and law enforcement vehicles escorted the trucks down to the Keys. During the supply delivery, the group pushed through the rain to complete the mission.

The people of South Florida have been incredible with storm recovery donations. Donations to this supply were also assisted by The City of Margate Fire Department and The Boca Raton Police Department.

Florida Outdoor donated a few chainsaws

to assist cleanup efforts. Citizens and businesses in the Palm Beach and Broward County area supplied tons of goods for the cause after the Fire Department Benevolent spread the word.

Lemons joked, “If I may modify a quote from the movie ”Jaws”, it was not long before our firefighters were standing out in the truck bay looking over all the donations saying, ‘we are going to need a bigger truck!’”

Once the supplies were delivered, the Red Cross took over distribution.

Boca Raton is sending a lot of supplies to the Keys through both public and private supply drives. Florida’s prettiest attractions will need a lot of help to resume normal life quickly, but they are certainly moving forward.

Boca Left With Mass Amounts of Debris Post-Irma

By: Jack Rubin

Since Hurricane Irma, perhaps more noticeable than the pink Boca Hotel Tower around Boca Raton are the massive piles of debris, a direct result of hurricane winds. Though the storm’s outer bands whipped through Palm Beach County almost two weeks ago, its impacts will continue to be felt for the foreseeable future.

The City of Boca Raton estimates that Hurricane Irma stirred about 200,000 cubic yards of debris loose throughout the city. A complete cleanup process could take more than a month, according to Chrissy Gibson, the City’s communications manager.

Debris piles pose health and sanitation threats to cities all across South Florida. Rodents may move into larger piles, plus debris can decay and dry out, making such towering heaps a fire hazard.

These piles will line the streets for at least a month, even with cities doing all they can to clean up.

For most of South Florida, the principal issue at the moment is that there are only so many trucks and workers.

Boca Raton has 29 trucks in service right now, using an open lot next to the Mizner Bark dog park as a collection site.

Even with a completion date of over a month away, Boca is ahead of many other cities regarding cleanup.

Cities such as Plantation and others in Broward County had issues contracting vehicles suitable for cleanup. Such delays in beginning the debris-removal

process contribute to why full removal across South Florida is not expected until Thanksgiving.

Boca was well organized in its plans to restore the city. The City has a contract with Ash Britt, Inc. specifically for hurricane debris removal. Working twelve hours, seven days a week, Ash Britt is clearing 10,000 cubic yards of debris per day, according to Gibson. After an extensive cleanup, the City will take the debris to an approved landfill site for disposal or burning. City trucks are also collecting debris, though the process will continue for weeks.

Reports from the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County indicate that there are over three million cubic yards of debris across the County. This Sisyphean task will certainly take months, leaving the County and its individual cities with the issue of paying contracted companies.

Certain SWA contracts with debris removal firms cost up to $51 million, depending on how much debris each firm removes. There are at least three such contracts, though with competition none will approach the $51 million mark. Still, this illustrates how costly debris collection is. Irma’s financial burden will leave its mark on all of South Florida.

Hurricane Irma was the first storm to make landfall in South Florida in more than eleven years. Luckily, all three southeastern counties were well prepared.

Now, cities must continue to properly execute cleanup plans to put the storm in the past.

Irma Brought out the Best in Us, the Worst in a few

As Hurricane Irma slowly weaves her way into the annals of history, I think it is only appropriate that we do a post mortem on this devastating disaster that wreaked such havoc in our lives.

Although - fortunately - no lives were lost in Boca Raton and Delray Beach, the damage and destruction is far more than anyone expected.

It would be an understatement to say that Irma brought out the best in our community’s character. As people scrambled to stock up on food and other essential supplies at the 11th hour, I saw neighbors, strangers and just plain folks threw their all into helping each other to board up windows and put up shutters.

That tremendous show of people helping each other during this crisis is a reminder that despite widening political differences, Boca Raton and Delray Beach residents are decent people who care deeply about each other.

Thank you to the first responders - fire and law enforcement personnel - who worked tirelessly while facing damage to or loss of their own properties, as well as those volunteers who assisted with rescue and relief efforts.

Much credit to our mayors, city managers and chiefs of police who made

it clear they would not be dispatching you during the storm for safety reasons. I fully understand and support such a call.

Kudos also to Gov. Rick Scott who showed true leadership during this crisis.

Sporting his U.S. Navy ball cap, the former radar man was decisive, he communicated effectively in both English and Spanish and he was a voice of assurance when people needed that fearless leader.

I am sure he will give much credit to the Navy for instilling that “take charge attitude” in him early in life.

Interestingly, I and many can still hear Gov. Scott on the news urging residents to “get out now!”

Thank you Governor for your leadership.

The same can be said about communication from our local officials.

Delray Beach and Boca Raton kept residents informed via email, texts and social media before, throughout and after the crisis.

Thanks to Florida Power & Light workers who labored around the clock to ensure we had service as soon as humanly possible.

Both cities failed their residents miserably though by not thinking ahead in terms of logistics after the storm. It is

common sense that after any hurricane, at least in our areas, people would be out of electricity for days. Therefore, someone should have made plans to distribute water, ice and food for the needy.

I heard of an incident in Delray where while knocking on doors to check on residents after the storm, code enforcement officers learned that an elderly woman did not have electricity to preserve her medication. They arranged for her to get ice, an act that could have made a difference between saving a life and death.

As city leaders, both elected and hired, your duties involve more than to ensure that taxes are collected, streets are cleaned and trash is picked up. It is to make sure that a small task, such as providing ice for resident’s medication – which, by the way is not on their job description – gets done.

Then there were those who used this opportunity to prey on the vulnerable during this time. Among them were gas stations (some who hiked their prices as soon as it was reported that the storm was coming our way) and one of our institutions for higher learning who reportedly sold a case of water for $13, $10.01 more than Wal-Mart, where a case was for $2.99.

I guess that is still a deal, compared to a 24-pack of 16.9-ounce bottles of Ice Mountain Brand spring water that was priced at $99.99 on Amazon.com from a third-party seller called BestSource OfficeSupplies.

The same product was sold for between $8 to $44.90 at 39 online stores.

The days following the storm, neighbors pulled together again to help each other cut away downed trees from off cars and homes and clear driveways and streets of branches.

At Village Academy in Delray Beach, community leaders rallied with a chainsaw, a table saw and a blower to clear downed branches so students could return to a safe campus the following Monday.

It could take between 90 and 120 days for debris to be cleared, school officials said.

This was indeed a textbook case of neighbors helping neighbors. Unfortunately it took a feisty woman name Irma to bring out the best in everybody.

The early response to the ravages of Irma shows that deep down we know what really matters: People helping each other.

POSITIVE LIVING

By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

The Urge to Contradict Have you ever witnessed persons who never accept what another is saying to them or to someone else who is part of the same conversation? It seems they have to contradict certain details, most of which add nothing to the accuracy to what is being conveyed.

Whatever is stated about any issue, or reported from personal observation, whether seen on TV, or heard on the radio, some persons appear to have the incurable itch to challenge and contradict.

These people want to be “precise” (so they tell us), but on matters which are

totally inconsequential to what is being shared.

If one alludes to a day, week, or month, or whether the event being described occurred in the morning, afternoon, or evening, or if any other insignificant detail is offered, which that person disagrees with, the urge to contradict is immediately heard!

When such things occur in my presence, or even when I am the one being challenged, the question that immediately comes to my mind is: What motivates one to be always contrary and persistently contradictory, sometimes even combat-

ive?

The only answers I’ve been able to find to such situations only point to one’s insecurity, arrogance, excessive competitiveness, or even some form of mental instability.

Most of all, it should point to a conversation not worth maintaining!

People are entitled to their personal opinions without having to interrupt a dialogue with another, and argue about unimportant issues which in no way alter the veracity of what is being communicated. The ultimate truthfulness of what is being related is absolute, and none of those insignificant details being ques-

tioned can add or detract anything from the conversation.

Too much extra detail seldom adds anything of significance to any issue being discussed. Throughout my life I’ve been one to stand for truth, convictions, and accuracy. Nevertheless, it’s not necessary to be a stickler to insignificant points, and unnecessary matters that won’t add any substance to a correct understanding of a narrative. The urge to contradict draws more negative attention to the challenger than subtracts any significance from the words of the one being challenged!

Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr. is a Florida resident who, for many years, was a professor at the post-graduate level. He is a writer, a sought-after conference speaker, a man who lived in five continents of the world, having received his education in four of them. When he resided in southern California, he wrote a weekly column for the daily “Anaheim Bulletin,” which was carried for about six years, until he moved to south Florida.

Palm Beach State College Offers In-State Tuition to Hurricane Victims

Palm Beach State College has joined other colleges in waiving out-ofstate tuition for Puerto Rican and Texas students who move to Florida because of the devastation caused by Hurricanes Maria and Harvey.

In making the announcement Thursday, PBSC leaders also said they would consider offering out-of-state tuition waivers to other students who are moving to Florida because their countries, states or territories were negatively impacted by natural disasters.

“Our hearts break for those whose education and lives were disrupted by these disasters. We want them to know that we care,” said PBSC President Ava L. Parker, J.D.

The College will spend the coming days working on the logistics of the out-of-state tuition waivers and will provide more communication. In-state tuition at Palm Beach State is $101 per credit hour compared to $363 per credit hour for out-of-state tuition.

columnists ROBERT’S COMMUNITY REPORT

FAITH

By Robert J. Tamasy

By Robert Weinroth • With the memories of Irma still fresh in your mind, consider supporting the relief efforts of a non-profit agency you feel you can support. The news from the Keys and Puerto Rico is pretty bleak and its clear the recovery from Harvey, Irma and Marie will take time.

• For many within our community, Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) was celebrated.

This Saturday those same members of our community will be observing Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement). To those who will fast as part of the observance of this holiday, wishing you an easy fast!

• There was a marked uptick in the number of events this past week as people have gotten back to normal (or next to normal) routines and events and meeting originally set for the period pre and post storm have now been rescheduled.

• Friday Sep 22nd marked the start of “Lunch on the Lawn” at the Mizner Park Amphitheatre.. For the next two weeks food trucks will be on site. Experience the Lunch on the Lawn September 29th and October 6. The next planned dates are December 1st, 8th and 16th.

• Three cheers to our first responders! After ensuring our residents were safe after Irma, a crew of our firefighters left their families to head to the Keys on Friday, September 22nd to help distribute supplies collected for distribution in the Keys. A special thanks goes to Joe Bonnie & Son Movers for helping to bring those goods where they are required.

We are a stronger community for the way we have responded - neighbor-helping neighbor!

• On Saturday, the 23rd, Undaunted by damage to its buildings, the Boca Raton Children’s Museum held an event to at the museum.. It was great to see all of the wonderful people in our community who came out to support two amazing souls trying to help this community! Lexi Hidalgo and DJ Aiden Sherlock were amazing! Jaime Colby Hidalgo, Mary Sol Gonzalez and Ellyn Okrent helped to educate about the mission of thje Florence Fuller Child Development Centers and the Children’s Museum and its importance to the people touched by their programs.

• It was my honor to represent Boca Raton and deliver a proclamation to the residents of Edgewater at Boca Pointe, signed by Mayor Haynie, declaring September 24th to 30th 2027, “Active Aging Week.”

The mayor noted our community’s interest in promoting the physical and social wellbeing of all of our residents, regardless of age as we encourage them to remain active and independent.

• On Monday night (September 25th), the City of Boca Raton held its storm delayed public hearing on the tentative budget for the 2017-18 fiscal year (due to begin on October

September 29- October 5, 2017

Learning From the Mistakes of Others

1st). This was the first of two public hearings to discuss the proposed budget. Residents were invited to weigh on how the city should spend about $168 million in taxpayer money.

• The proposed budget calls for a 6% increase from this year’s general fund operating budget. About $3.4 million is earmarked for the addition of 34 new municipal employees, including four more police officers, four firefighters and an assistant fire chief. The City Manage also proposed setting aside $13.4 million for future hurricane and disaster relief.

• The budget process, which, by statute, must be completed by the end of September (to allow the FL Department of Revenue to review and certify the tax rolls) has been extended by Governor Scott in light of the delays caused

by Irma. The City Council is scheduled to finalize the budget at a second public hearing to be held on October 2nd at 6PM at City Hall.

• The long-awaited Spanish River Boulevard exit on northbound Interstate 95, championed

by Mayor Susan Haynie for over a decade has opened. It’s part of a $69 million interchange project to relieve I-95 traffic congestion through Boca Raton. The new exit gives Florida Atlantic University students and other commuters an alternative to sitting in traffic at the Glades Road exit that routinely backed up onto I-95.

• Mayor Haynie recognized the inaugural Boca Restaurant Month, launched this year by the Tourism Committee of Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce to showcase what Boca Raton has to offer as it promotes our city as a destination and to increase the number of visitors to our area. This year’s theme is Boca Loves New York.

• The Rotary Club Downtown Boca Raton held a “pre-event” for the upcoming Mayor’s Ball. The VIP reception at the Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club recognized sponsors of the event and provided and opportunity to hear from the honorees. The third annual event has been moved to the Boca Raton Resort to accommodate additional attendees. [n October 14th.

• Attention Residents: To assist residents and businesses, the City of Boca Raton will be expediting all hurricane related repairs including roof, window and screen enclosure repairs, until October 13.Homeowners and contractors can apply for and receive permits over the counter at 200 NW 2nd Avenue from 8AM – 4PM weekdays, except Wednesdays when the counter closes at 3PM. Repair work can start once permits are issued, and additional application requirements can be deferred. No permits are necessary to repair or replace existing permitted fences through Halloween.

“Why do you want to be mentored?” That was the question I asked the young man sitting across the table from me at a local restaurant. A mutual friend had suggested to Todd that he meet with me since he had expressed an interest in having someone mentor him in both his professional and personal life.

His answer surprised me: “I want to learn from your mistakes.” I smiled, thinking here was a man in his late 20s that already had the wisdom to recognize that you do not have to learn exclusively from your own errors and poor decisions. You can learn from people that have already traveled along the path you are following – and you can benefit from what they have learned through trial and error.

As it turned out, he and I did not begin a one-to-one mentoring relationship because he already was meeting with several other men in various mentorlike capacities. With many younger men lacking even a single man to meet with, I concluded Todd already had enough help.

But his comment caused me to reflect on the many times I have done the same thing – learned from the mistakes others have shared with me, along with their successes.

I would not have the passion I have today for helping others learn how to effectively integrate their faith in the workplace if it had not been for others that showed me it could be done. And they honestly told me about times when they had failed, when they had yielded to the temptation to cut corners to achieve goals, even though they knew it would be a breach of their personal integrity.

It was through failures like these, however, that they learned the importance of setting boundaries, of affirming their

commitments to excellence and honesty before they came to a moment of decision. Difficult decisions become easier, they taught me, when they are made long in advance of the crisis.

Men like these also taught me about their trials, failures and successes in areas such as marriage, parenting, handling finances, dealing with anger and other troublesome emotions, and sexual temptation. I, too, have been privileged to learn from the mistakes of others.

The Bible offers many character studies of men that strived to follow and served God, yet sometimes stumbled along the way. I have found these stories very encouraging, not only by learning specifics of their failures, but also realizing God does not demand perfection, only a sincere desire to follow Him, along with a willingness to repent in times of failure. The 10th chapter of 1 Corinthians offers great insight with only two verses: Recognize other people’s failures and take them to heart. There is a saying that if we fail to learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it. Colleagues and friends can only be bad influences when we allow ourselves to repeat their wrong actions.

“All these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition” (1 Corinthians 10:11).

Do not overestimate your own strength. One of the benefits of learning from the mistakes of others is realizing we could make the same errors. If we are wise, we will take preventative steps to avoid a repeat of those failures. As another saying tells us, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. “So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you do not fall!” (1 Corinthians 10:12).

Palm Beach State College Gets Back on Track after Hurricane Irma

Palm Beach State College reopened for classes and business Sept. 18 with a plan for students to make up the nine instructional days lost because of Hurricane Irma.

College leaders have cancelled the faculty and staff Development Day scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 25. That day will become a makeup day for students taking Thursday or Tuesday/Thursday classes. Final Exam Week, during which time students only take their final exams, will now become an instructional week. There also are plans for students who take Friday only classes to spend extra time in each session to make up the missed time.

“We are following the requirements of our accrediting agency to ensure the integrity of the credits awarded to students,’’ said Dr. Roger Yohe, vice president for academic affairs. “Despite the setback the storm caused, we want our students to still receive as much time for instruction as possible.”

The College developed a list of FAQs to help address concerns about missed assignments and other PBSC affairs. Disaster relief information was also provided for those who may have bee impacted by the storm. New Student Orientation Sessions were rescheduled

for students enrolled in the 12-week session, which also began Sept. 18. Plans are underway to reschedule other activities.

Irma wreaked havoc in the Caribbean as a Category 5 storm before pounding Florida and other parts of the Southeast. PBSC closed on Sept. 7 to give students and employees time to prepare or evacuate in advance of the storm.

While the College lost instructional time, damage to the College’s five campuses was not as severe as College leaders initially feared based on early forecasts about the storm’s path.

“There was no structural damage,’’ said Richard Becker, vice president of administration and business services.

He noted power outages on the campuses, downed trees, broken tree limbs and branches, as well as damage to signs, including a digital sign and some water intrusion. “Overall, the College fared well, relatively speaking and compared to some of the other colleges south and west of us.”

Facilities and security staff worked while the College was closed to get the campuses ready to open. “We appreciate the efforts of everybody who came in when the College was closed to do the job that we needed them to do,’’ Becker said.

Mayors Ball Funds To Be Donated To Those In Boca Raton Effected

By Hurricane Irma

The Rotary Club Downtown Boca Raton announced today that due to the immediate need in the Boca Raton community in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, the Club will donate all funds raised from its 3rd Annual Boca Raton Mayors Ball “Chance To Win” ticket sales to hurricane relief. The “win, win” opportunity gives buyers the chance to win $14,000 in prizes as 100% of the proceeds will fund IRMA-related recovery efforts by Bocabased nonprofits.

“Chance to Win” tickets at $50 are on sale online at www.rotarydowntownbocaraton.org or through Downtown Boca Raton Rotarians and at the Mayors Ball; winners will be announced at the Ball and do not need to be present to win. The $14,000 worth of “Chance To Win” prizes include a custom-designed necklace donated by Cristino Fine Jewelry plus staycations at the Boca Raton Resort & Club, Waterstone Resort & Marina with a gift card to Ocean234, Renaissance Boca Raton Hotel and vacations at winners’ choice between two Blue Green Vacation Resorts.

The announcement follows the Downtown Boca Raton Club’s donation this past weekend of $5,000 in Home Depot and Publix gift cards to residents in need in Marathon Key. Two Downtown Boca Raton Rotary Club members, District Governor for 6930 Dave Freudenberg and Dr. Allen Konis flew down in a personal plane piloted by Fort Lauderdale Rotarian volunteer Tom Powers to the Keys where the local Rotary Club

orchestrated the distribution to those in need in that community.

“Since proceeds from the Boca Raton Mayors Ball funds health and wellness needs, we could not wait to begin supporting those who need it the most as they begin to rebuild their lives and homes after IRMA,” said the Immediate Club Past President and current Chairman of the “Service Above Self ” Fund Board Lewis Fogel.

“We recognize that there were many local folks who had to throw away groceries as they lost electric power for multiple days and might not have the funds to restock right away,” added the Club’s current President, Penny Morey.

“The Rotary Club Downtown Boca Raton wants to make certain that our local residents in need can fill their refrigerators with food.”

The third annual Boca Raton Mayors Ball returns as the coveted season opener on Saturday, October 14th at the Boca Raton Resort & Club. The Ball honors the City’s elected officials who exemplify Rotary International’s motto, “Service Above Self ” and visionaries past and present who have elevated the community. Proceeds from the Ball will raise funds to support health and wellness needs of Boca Raton nonprofits. Tickets to attend the ball are currently available at $300 per seat or $5,000 for a VIP Table for 10 that includes a full page color ad in the annual journal distributed to all guests.

FAU’s College of Business to Honor Colin Brown with 2017 Business Leader of the Year Award

Edition 333 - 11

Sales Exec FULL OR PART TIME

The Boca Raton Tribune is looking for exceptional Sales Representatives to deliver the growth of the publication.

This is a fantastic opportunity for the right person who would be proud to represent the Boca Raton Tribune.

Florida Atlantic University’s College of Business will host the 26th annual Business Leader of the Year breakfast on Friday, Jan. 26, 2018 at 8 a.m., at the Boca Raton Resort & Club, 501 East Camino Real, in Boca Raton. This year’s program celebrates the accomplishments of Colin Brown, chairman and chief executive officer of JM Family Enterprises, Inc.

“JM Family has been a key business in South Florida for many years and has established an exceptional reputation with its customers, business partners and the community as a whole,” said Daniel Gropper, Ph.D., dean of FAU’s College of Business. “Colin Brown exemplifies the kind of leadership characteristics that FAU celebrates with our Business Leader of the Year Award.”

JM Family Enterprises, Inc. is a diversified automotive corporation ranked No. 21 on Forbes’ list of “America’s Largest Private Companies.” As CEO, Brown leads the entire organization, including JM Family’s Executive Management Team, which oversees the development and implementation of the company’s objectives and strategies for future growth. Brown also serves as chairman of the company’s board of directors.

Brown directs all of JM Family’s businesses, including Southeast Toyota Distributors, the world’s largest independent distributor of Toyota vehicles; JM&A Group, one of the leading independent providers of finance and insurance products in the automotive industry; World Omni Financial Corp., a diversified financial services company; and JM Lexus.

Brown joined the family-owned business in 1992 as vice president and general counsel. He was appointed chief operating officer in 1997 and president in 2000. Brown was named CEO in January 2003, becoming the first non-family member to hold the titles of first president and then CEO. In 2017, Brown was appointed chairman of the board while retaining the title of CEO.

Since 2005, Brown has served on United Way of Broward County’s Board

of Directors. As chairman and CEO of JM Family, Brown leads the company’s annual United Way giving campaign. Additionally, Brown has led the company’s support of the Habitat for Humanity of Broward through both corporate contributions and volunteerism. Brown currently serves on the board of directors for the Youth Automotive Training Center, a tuition-free, nine-month training program that educates disadvantaged youth in basic automotive repair, academic remediation, job readiness and life-management skills.

Brown graduated from Duke University School of Law with a juris doctorate and holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Williams College in Williamstown, Mass. Raised overseas in a Foreign Service family, Brown resides in Lighthouse Point and has three children.

Founded by Jim Moran in 1968, JM Family is a $14.9 billion company ranked No. 55 by FORTUNE® as one of the 100 Best Companies to Work For®, its 19th consecutive year on the list. JM Family has approximately 4,200 associates and is headquartered in Deerfield Beach.

Sponsorships for the event are available, including a corporate table and event admission at the Boca Raton Resort & Club. A portion of the sponsorship dollars raised from the Business Leader of the Year event will provide scholarships to students enrolled in the FAU College of Business who have strong academic achievement and demonstrate leadership qualities.

Since 1991, FAU’s College of Business has presented the Business Leader of the Year award, honoring the work of outstanding contributors to the overall business climate of the southeast region of Florida and the state. Brown joins other honored recipients of the award, including Heiko Dobrikow, Naren Gursahaney, Jeff Stoops, Jordan Zimmerman, Wayne Huizenga, Jim Robo, Mike Jackson, Ronald Assaf, Alexander Dreyfoos, Jim Moran, Carl DeSantis, Bud Paxson, Jerry Levin, Pat Moran, Alan Levan and Mike Maroone.

The Boca Raton Tribune

sports Lynn SAAC Celebrates a Century with Connie

Miami Heat Return to FAU For Training Camp By: Bryanna Basilio

Members of the Lynn University Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) spent last Friday afternoon celebrating a special occasion at Stratford Court, a senior living facility in Boca Raton, as one of the residents turned 100 years old.

Lynn SAAC members regularly visit Stratford Court, playing bingo with the community members each week and helping to organize a "senior prom" each spring. During this visit, Lynn studentathletes were able to celebrate Connie Lefkowitz's 100th birthday alongside some of her closest friends and family, signifying the bond between members of the community and Fighting Knight athletes.

"Throughout our time at Stratford Court, Lynn student-athletes have developed lifelong relationships with

the members," said SAAC Co-President Conrad Rhein, a junior on the lacrosse team. "We are extremely thankful for the opportunity to spend time and learn from everybody at Stratford. The memories and experiences that come with the people there are second-to-none. It was a true honor being able to celebrate and be with Connie on her 100th birthday."

Stratford Court's activities and volunteer coordinator, Andrea Peleg, shared a similar sentiment. "Stratford Court has enjoyed the Lynn University students coming over the last several years for bingo," she said. "It gives them an opportunity to get to know our residents, and to share in milestones like Connie's 100th birthday. To come on their own time outside of the club is something that means a lot to everyone here."

The Miami Heat has returned to Florida Atlantic University (FAU) for training camp. From Sept. 26-30 the Heat will be using FAU Arena. This will be the second time FAU has been home to the Heat training camp, previously in the 2015-2016 season.

“Florida Atlantic University is proud to host the three-time World Champions Miami HEAT to our campus for training camp,” said Pat Chun, FAU vice president and director of athletics.

“Over the past few years, FAU has been fortunate to host some of the best organizations in sports on our campus,” he said. “We look forward to assisting the Heat in their preparation for the 2017-18

season.”

While the practices may be closed to the public, the Miami Heat’s annual Red, White, and Pink open scrimmage is scheduled for Saturday, Sept.

30 at 11 a.m at FAU Arena. Doors are expected to open 10 a.m.

Tickets are $1, with proceeds benefiting Miami Cancer Institute. There is an eight-ticket maximum per transaction.

The Heat will be giving away free tickets to Saturday’s scrimmage, along with merchandise, to FAU students outside of the library on Wednesday, Sept.

27 at 11 a.m. or on Thursday, Sept. 28 at 11 a.m. on Diversity Way. FAU students must show their student ID to receive one ticket while supplies last.

FAU Women's Soccer Is Home For Two Conference Games

After evening up their Conference USA mark a week ago, the Florida Atlantic University women’s soccer team looks to gain more key points this weekend with two matchups at home, Friday and Sunday.

The Owls (6-4-1, 1-1-0 C-USA) picked up three points a Friday ago, turning away Old Dominion by a 1-0 score.

Mary Hasler had the game-winner just before the half, and the FAU defense, ahead of and including goalkeeper Jennifer Ocampo, earned the team’s fourth shutout this season.

Middle Tennessee (3-5-0, 0-1-0 C-USA) is first into town, for a Friday night contest at 7 p.m. The Blue Raiders fell in their conference opener on Sunday, 1-0 to UTSA, snapping a three-game winning streak. Nearly half of the team’s goals, five of 11, come courtesy of Peyton DePriest, tying her for third C-USA. hen on Sunday, at 1 p.m., the Owls finish out the weekend by hosting UAB (7-1-2, 1-0-0 C-USA). The Blazers haven’t taken a loss in their last six matchups and won their league lidlifter against UTEP last

Friday, 1-0. Rachel Green had the lone goal that night, her fifth of the year, tying her for the team lead (and also part of the group slotting third in the conference) with Megan Hudgens. Goalkeeper Kelsey Daugherty leads the league in shutouts (five, one more than Ocampo), goals against average (.649) and save percentage (.885).

In 13 meetings, the Blue Raiders have an 8-5 edge over the Owls, while FAU has not been beaten by UAB, holding a 4-0-1 all-time advantage. Last season, it was back-to-back 1-0 road wins for the Owls against these two squads.

Against Middle Tennessee in Murfreesboro, Sammy Rowland’s goal in the 38th minute snapped a five-match losing streak, while Tiril Haga notched her first collegiate goal with just over 20 minutes left to top the Blazers in Birmingham.

The Owls will split home and away next weekend, hosting Southern Miss on Thursday night at 7 p.m., and then traveling to Charlotte for a Sunday afternoon affair, starting at 1 p.m.

Lynn University today announced the addition of men's cross country and track as NCAA Division II Fighting Knights athletics programs.

The program is the sixth addition to the Fighting Knight's repertoire since 2012, which now has 17 NCAA varsity sports—nine women's and eight men's.

"Introducing men's cross country and track to our athletics portfolio reflects our program's and agility," said Crosby. "[Head coach] Chris Wood's recruiting acumen, ability to develop sincere relationships and training philosophy quickly advanced Lynn women's cross country and track, added only last season. I'm confident Wood will establish a similar culture for our men's team, founded on confidence, humility and maturity—attributes that describe the success of our programs."

Wood, currently the head women's cross country and track coach, will oversee the new program and will hire a full-time assistant for the men's teams. NCAA competition will begin in the 2018-19 season.

"I'm excited to expand cross country and track for a men's program," said Wood. "Ultimately, this shows the confidence university administration, under the leadership of President Kevin M. Ross, has in the culture we are creating with the women's program and the ability of the coaching staff to bring in quality student-athletes.

a welcome challenge. We're ready to add another dimension to the Fighting Knights family."

In the short time Wood has directed the women's running programs, Lynn has seen tremendous success. The Fighting Knights competed in a NCAA Regional for the first time as a team in 2016, and several members of the current squad have earned recognition in the program's top-10 record books.

Programs added over the past five years include women's track, men's lacrosse, women's swimming and women's cross country. Men's lacrosse reached the Sunshine State Conference Championships in its second season, women's swimming won three individual national championships, and cross country competed in the NCAA regionals three of the last five years. Women's track begins its first year in Spring 2018.

"Most schools in the Sunshine State Conference sponsor men's and women's cross country and track teams, so Lynn's addition aligns with the conference's overall direction," added Wood.

With the addition of EmbryRiddle and Palm Beach Atlantic as full members to the Sunshine State Conference in 2017-18, Lynn will become the eighth school with men's track and ninth with men's cross country. It will join Florida Southern, Florida Tech, Nova Southeastern, Rollins (cross country only), Saint Leo and Tampa.
