Dream Markers Receives Donation

Since the organization was founded in 2012, Sweet Dream Makers has served families in Palm Beach County by providing new beds, bedding, and donated essential furniture to those in need. They give between 1,800 and 2,000 beds to local families annually, but their data shows that requests for beds spike dramatically beginning in July. Sweet Dream Makers attributes this trend to the back to school season and with the support of The Lou Bachrodt Auto Group and the Sokol Foundation, they are rolling out to get every student into a bed of their own during their Back to School Campaign.

“We know from our data that this is the busiest time of year for bed requests,” says Sweet Dream Makers’ executive director Suzanne Broad. “Every parent wants their children to be able to get a good night’s sleep so they can do their best in school.”

Broad’s organization partners with more than 40 social service agencies to identify families who are sleeping on floors, couches, sharing small mattresses, or in otherwise unsafe or unsanitary conditions.

Community Suicide awareness bench unveiled Neuroscientists Find Novel Role on Lake Worth campus For ‘Skin Plumping’ Molecule

Palm Beach State College unveiled a bright yellow new bench on the Lake Worth campus today to help raise awareness about suicide prevention and mental health.

The bench was installed near the water fountain in the heavily trafficked Martin Luther King, Jr. Plaza, a popular spot for student events. It is inscribed with the 1-800-273-8255 phone number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, as well as the local 2-1-1 Helpline number and 898211 text code for Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast residents to get access 24 hours a day, seven days a week to information referrals, telephone counseling and crisis intervention services.

Josh’s Benches for Awareness, a nonprofit mental health organization, donated the bench. Wellington couple Barry and Cindy Nadelbach cofounded the organization with Victor Perez in memory of their 21-year-old son whom they lost to suicide last year. Perez was Josh’s best friend. Their mission is to educate youth and young adults about suicide prevention and awareness and provide resources in a visible manner through the benches.

They partnered with Jeff Industries, a nonprofit organization, which constructs and delivers the benches. This is the eighth installation of the benches since the organization launched last November and the first placed on a college campus. There are plans to install additional benches throughout the county and beyond, Nadelbach said. She said it was special for her to have a bench at the College to help others as her son, who had attended the College, helped people.

President Ava L. Parker, J.D. said she is proud to partner with the organi-

zation. “We are very blessed to accept this donation from Josh’s Benches as a symbol of our commitment to creating greater awareness to this very important issue,’’ she said at the unveiling. “We are continuing our efforts as a community partner and servant to bring much needed awareness to a very important topic.

Today marks a touchstone moment for the College as we place this bench here to increase the visibility of the services that exists to help those who are in need when it comes to mental health and the thought of suicide.”

Palm Beach State College provides numerous services to help students, including a Collegewide Counseling Center, which also provides access to mental health counseling and other services.

Robin Russo, PBSC’s director of student wellbeing who oversees the counseling, cited stats indicating that one in 12 college-age students had an active suicide plan. “As a mom, as a human being, as a therapist, I’ve been touched both personally and professionally by suicide. Although we look at the statistics, and we know that suicide is on the rise in our country and in our county, at the counseling center, we treat our students as human beings not just as a number.”

She encouraged anyone who needs help to seek it. “We can’t tell by looking at someone if what we see on the outside is what they are feeling on the inside. Suicidal thoughts and mental illness do not affect any one group, any one age, or any one population. We all experience it, so we can’t generalize. We have to treat everybody with dignity and respect and realize they may be struggling on the inside.”

This clear, gooey substance, which is naturally produced by the human body, has been popularized by cosmetic and skin care products that promote healthier, plumper and more supple skin.

Also recognized for its abilities to speed up wound healing, reduce joint pain from osteoarthritis, and relieve dry eye and discomfort, a neuroscientist at Florida Atlantic University’s Brain Institute (I-BRAIN) and Schmidt College of Medicine, has discovered a novel mechanism and role in the brain for hyaluronic acid.

In a study published in the journal Brain, Behavior and Immunity , Ning Quan, Ph.D., lead author, a professor of biomedical science in FAU’s Schmidt College of Medicine and a member of I-BRAIN, and collaborators, have discovered that hyaluronic acid may be the key in how an immune signal moves from the blood stream to the brain, activating the brain’s resident immune cells, the microglia.

This unsuspected molecule may be the main signal passed between these cells, and this new discovery could lead to novel opportunities to shut down brain inflammatory responses. Findings from this study have important implications for better treatments for stroke, neurodegenerative diseases, as well as head injuries.

“We normally think of hyaluronic acid with respect to cartilage formation and also for its role in many processes including cancer progression and metastasis,” said Quan. “However, what we have uncovered in our study is a completely unique role for this molecule. We have been able to document a connection between the blood cells and the brain cells, showing that the activating signal passed between these cells is hyaluronic acid.”

Quan and collaborators from the Sichuan University, The Ohio State University, and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, demonstrate that inflammation in the central nervous system is oftentimes quenched or restricted, as neurons are extremely vulnerable to inflammation-caused damages. However, this inflammation can be aberrantly amplified through endothelial cell-microglia crosstalk when the brain constantly receives inflammatory signals. Quan’s work identified hyaluronic acid as the key signal released by endothelial cells to stimulate microglia and promote oxidative damage.

“To prevent the inflammation

www.bocaratontribune.com

from being intensified in the brain, you have to stop the communication between the two cell types,” said Xiaoyu Liu, Ph.D., another corresponding author of the study in FAU’s Schmidt College of Medicine and I-BRAIN. “We found ascorbyl palmitate, also known as ‘Vitamin C Ester,’ to be quite effective in inhibiting microglia and reducing the production of inflammatory hyaluronic acid.”

In the past, Vitamin C Ester has been widely used as a source of vitamin C and an antioxidant food additive. Now, this latest discovery suggests a novel function of Vitamin C Ester: treating central nervous system inflammation.

“As the newest addition to our Department of Biomedical Science, Dr. Quan’s work already is making an important impact on our mission to advance understanding of human health and disease,” said Janet Robishaw, Ph.D., senior associate dean for research and chair of the Department of Biomedical Science in FAU’s Schmidt College of Medicine.

“Long known as a popular skin and joint supplement, this discovery identifies a novel role for hyaluronic acid to potentially treat conditions caused by inflammation in the central nervous system.”

Inflammation can occur in the central nervous system as a result of head trauma or stroke, or as part of a systemic immune response. Inflammation within the central nervous system has been associated with chronic neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis.

“Neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease impact all races, genders, and geographical backgrounds,” said Randy Blakely, Ph.D., executive director of FAU’s I-BRAIN. “Findings from this study may thus have global implications for how we treat neurodegeneration arising from traumatic brain injuries and brain changes associated with aging and dementia. This exceptional research by Dr. Quan and his colleagues is a testament to the cutting-edge work that is being conducted by our Brain Institute members and the research faculty in FAU’s Schmidt College of Medicine.”

This research is funded by the National Institute of Mental Health of the National Institutes of Health (R01MH-109165) awarded to Quan.

Town Center At Boca Raton Hosts School Supply Drive For Public School Educators

Town Center at Boca Raton and The Education Foundation of Palm Beach County are teaming up for a Back-to-School Supply Drive at the mall benefitting The Education Foundation of Palm Beach County’s Red Apple Supplies Store. The community is encouraged to donate new school supplies to the drive during mall hours now through August 4.

Every year, our public school teachers dip into their own pockets to buy pencils, pens, crayons, and more for their students, who often cannot afford basic school supplies.

Now in its fourth year of existence, The Education Foundation of Palm Beach County’s Red Apple Supplies Store is serving 42 local schools - all of whom have 95% of their students receiving free or reduced lunch.

Teachers at these schools can “shop” at the Red Apple Supplies Store twice a year and secure all the items they need at no cost. Last year alone, Red Apple Supplies Store distributed over $610,000 of school supplies to local

July 19 - August 1, 2019

teachers, who then gave them to their students.

Red Apple Supplies Store donation needs: - Construction Paper - Color Pencils and Markers (8-12 count) - Glue Sticks - Tape Rolls - Hand Sanitizers (8 oz.)

- Permanent Markers - Dry Erase Markers - Composition Books (wide rules)

“We are pleased to help ease the financial burden of our educators in Palm Beach County,” said Jeannie Roberts, director of marketing at Town Center at Boca Raton. “Donating new school supplies to the drive is a great way to get families and children involved in the spirit of giving back to our community.”

Guests are encouraged to drop off their donations at Simon Guest Services or the Cafés at Boca in Town Center at Boca Raton.

PBSC Announces New Program to Train Much-Needed Marine Technicians

Florida’s recreational marine and boating industry is growing at a fast clip, making it hard to fill job openings for marine mechanics and service technicians.

Now Palm Beach State College stands ready to deliver these sought-after job candidates by launching the first technical certificate program of its kind in Palm Beach County.

Classes for PBSC’s new Marine Service Technology program start Aug. 22, and anyone interested in enrolling should attend the information session on Wednesday, Aug. 7, from 5 – 6:30 p.m. in room ETD 103 of the Education and Training Center on the Lake Worth campus.

Program graduates will be ready to work in marine dealerships, boat repair shops and yacht maintenance facilities.

Through a partnership with the American Boat and Yacht Council, PBSC will offer a comprehensive curriculum designed to train marine service technicians according to national industry standards and practices. Students will gain hands-on experience in labs and on boats and receive a Postsecondary Adult Vocational certificate for completing the 1350 clockhour program, which takes 14 months of full-time day classes, or 16 months of evening classes. Graduates also leave the program with ABYC student certification.

“By integrating ABYC’s industry standards-based curriculum with our Florida state framework, we’ll be able to offer the best possible program to our students, the future marine technicians Palm Beach County greatly needs,” said Eligio Marquez, Jr., PBSC’s Transportation Technology program director.

The expanding marine industry in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties had an estimated economic impact of $12 billion in 2018, an increase from $11.5 billion in 2014, according to a recent study by Thomas J. Murray and Associates, provided by the Marine Industries Association of Palm Beach County. This growth translates to a 2018 total of 32,323 employees in marine services in the tri-county area and reinforces Marquez’s confidence in his graduates finding jobs quickly.

“This program came out of a series of meetings that we had with the Riviera Beach Workforce Development Taskforce,” Marquez added. “They asked Palm Beach State to create a marine program because of the high demand and necessity to have a program in our own backyard.”

Charlie Navis and Andrew Holley, co-owners of Boat Connection, a long-established West Palm Beach boat sales and service company, donated two

of the boats that the students will work on, as well as engines and other parts.

They also are members of the program’s business partnership council, which will help keep the program aligned to local industry needs and trends.

Navis likes the ABYC curriculum and looks forward to the program graduates entering the job market. Due to the shortage of applicants with motorboat training, Navis has tried recruiting people with related experience, which hasn’t always worked out.

“A lot of them are car mechanics that want to get into the marine industry, and it’s not the same by any means,” Navis said. “So, to actually have a school that’s local, that has the capability of putting out job candidates who are good—that will be great for us.

And I know some of the other shops in the area are in the same boat as we are, so to speak!”

Recently, some of the incoming students got an advance look at PBSC’s Marine Service Technology program lab.

They are attracted by the job growth in this field, which pays motorboat mechanics and service technicians in the tri-county area a median salary of $47,950, with top salaries reaching $72,190, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment Statistics Program.

“I’ve worked around boats and on boats my whole life, said newly enrolled student Faith Flynn, a 2019 Jupiter High School graduate who works part time at West Marine. “Working on yachts is a big thing for me. I’d like to travel, and you can do that with this career. The opportunities the marine industry gives you, specifically after completing this program, can take me a long way.”

Drake, another Jupiter High School graduate, recently helped repair a cargo ship in New Zealand, while doing missionary work there, and found it was a natural fit. “I’ve always wanted to do engineering but put it on the back burner.

On the ship, it just kind of clicked again.

I’m excited to get an education in this field so I can pursue this work on medical relief ships.”

Vincent, a Marine Corps veteran and John I. Leonard High School graduate, will enter the program fresh from Palm Beach State’s Automotive Service Technology program. “With the automotive program, I found I was mechanically inclined, but I like the ocean—fresh water, too—and enjoy being outdoors. As soon as I found out that they were creating a marine technician program here, I jumped at the opportunity.”

FAU High School Students Visit Galápagos Islands For Research

For the first time ever, a group of FAU High School (FAUHS) students recently traveled to the Galápagos Islands for a summer course to conduct field research.

During this course, the students engaged in the undergraduate research process by conducting an observational study on sea lion behavior in the Galápagos. They examined the impact of human beach use on the sea lions’ activity patterns and feeding of their pups.

“This opportunity represents not only the first time FAUHS students have participated in a university study abroad program, but also a chance for them to visit and research in an extremely special place that is home to several wildlife species not found anywhere else in the world,” said Tricia Meredith, Ph.D., director of research at A.D. Henderson & FAU High

School. “The trip was a life-changing experience for the students that will also benefit them professionally.”

Prior to the trip, the students conducted a literature review on the topic which helped to design their research study. While in the Galápagos, they collected their data, as well as visited a local high school to speak with students about the research project, the role of sea lions, and animal conservation in the culture. After analyzing the data, the students wrote a manuscript for publication in a scientific journal.

“The students hope their research findings help bring awareness to the impact that people, and particularly tourists, have on the other species that they share the environment with,” said Meredith.

Peter Licata Marks a Triumphant Return to South County as Regional Superintendent

Residents in Southern Palm Beach County should be excited knowing that Dr. Peter Licata, an assistant superintendent in the School District of Palm Beach County, has returned as their regional superintendent.

Licata, who until his recent appointment, served as the director of the district’s choice and career programs, is no stranger to the area. He knows the Boca Raton culture quite well, having served as principal at Olympic Heights High, where he earned accolades for leading the campus to its first A rating in 2008. He also was a beloved principal at Boca Raton Middle School, he led multiple departments in the school district, and he has a small consulting business.

Pete’s experience coupled with the fact that he genuinely cares about students make him highly qualified for the job. He also has the personality and I know he’s going to be a good fit.

There is no question he is a real leader.

People who work with him told me how very impressed they were with his leadership skills and said he was very dedicated.

I also observed his tenure as a principal while I worked as a reporter for one of the local dailies.

His first trial in his new gig was handling the search for a principal for Spanish River High to replace William Latson who was reassigned recently.

Soon he will find himself in the fire dealing with Delray Beach’s old Carver High alumni and local preservationists who have been pushing to preserve three of the buildings along Southwest Fourth Street.

That promises to be a no-win

battle for all involved and has already been proven to be a quagmire for district officials. Tread lightly.

The school district, which owns the property, initially planned to raze most of the campus’ 14 remaining structures. But this is one project I envision being diplomatically delayed for a long time to come.

There are also some rarely discussed, underlying mines that he will need to be aware of.

Among them are some underused facilities that the district needs to consolidate. He will also need to explore innovative ways to involve parents and students at low-performing campuses. Let’s face it, the work of providing all children the chance to obtain an

excellent education has to be personal.

And principals cannot undertake a school improvement initiative alone.

He also will need to build on the private sector support that helped deliver the local Penny Sales Tax, which went into effect in Jan. 2017. This will take someone, such as Licata, with vision, energy, tolerance and communication skills, and someone committed to spend the time necessary in the community to yield results.

Pete is an incredibly talented educational leader and residents of South County should be excited about the opportunity to have someone like him here in our area.

He replaces Dr. Ian Saltzman, another great leader, who recently became superintendent of the Everett, Washington, School District.

POSITIVE LIVING

By Robert J. Tamasy

Making Your Mark Through Mentoring

“I want to make a difference.”

Have you ever made this statement? It is a thought many of us have expressed, whether in public or at least to ourselves.

Whether you are a Baby Boom generation member on the back end of your career, or a Millennial just getting a start in the workplace, this is a desire many of us share.

The question is, how do we make that difference? How can we succeed in making a mark that will endure long after our working days have ended?

There are many possible suggestions, but there is one I would highly recommend: Mentoring. I know, you might have an objection, saying something like, “I had a mentor once – a terrible experience!” That is not the kind of mentoring I’m talking about. Many of us have had a bad experience in which a mentor was assigned to us, had no genuine interest

July 19 - August 1, 2019

in us, and viewed being a mentor as an imposed assignment.

No, the kind of mentoring I mean involves a mutually beneficial relationship, two people on a journey together seeking to grow and build into one another’s lives. When David A. Stoddard and I co-authored The Heart of Mentoring: Ten Proven Principles for Developing People to Their Fullest Potential, we were drawing from Dave’s experience of having two wonderful mentors who invested much of themselves into him, listening and teaching and modeling what it meant to be successful in business – and in life.

Dave went on to replicate that mentoring process in the lives of dozens of other men for more than 30 years. He passed away five years ago this month, but his impact – the mark he made through mentoring others – continues to

this day through many of those individuals.

What does that kind of mentoring look like? Here are a few of the principles we cited in our book, along with biblical precepts that undergird those principles:

Living is about giving. Too often, mentoring is viewed through a “what’s in it for me” lens. The most effective mentoring is done focused on the best interests of the person being mentored, whom we termed the “mentoring partner.” We want to help him or her become all they can possibly be. “…remembering the words of the Lord Jesus Himself: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive’” (Acts 20:35).

Mentoring is a process that requires perseverance. Spending time with someone who needs our help at times can be frustrating or discouraging, especially

www.bocaratontribune.com

when we fail to see the progress we had hoped for. That is why perseverance is necessary, pressing on and remaining committed to the mentor even when expectations are not met.“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up”(Galatians 6:9).

Effective mentors open their world to their mentoring partners. Nothing builds trust more than being transparent, even totally vulnerable, to the other person. As we are open to others, honest with our own struggles, that gives them confidence to become open with us. “We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well” (1 Thessalonians 2:8).

Waiting: The ‘Game’ No One Likes to Play

Many of us find ourselves each day on the proverbial treadmill, frantically rushing to another appointment or the next deadline, refusing to slow down for fear of failing or missing out on some once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Patience is not a virtue we strive to nurture. If we wait, we suspect this fast-paced world will still keep moving, leaving us far behind.

People talk about the “waiting game,” but it is a “game” the vast majority of us find no pleasure in playing.

We want what we want – and we want it now. Whatever “it” happens to be.

Some time ago I met with a successful business leader who admitted this. He told me that one of the hardest things for him is to “wait on the Lord.”

Finding himself in a time of transition, he felt ready to move forward with the next stage of his career, but God would not release him yet. So he found himself in God’s “waiting room.”

Driven, goal-focused business leaders often struggle with waiting patiently on God’s direction, preferring to charge forward on their own. There are many reasons for this. When forced to wait, we feel no longer in control, like we are at the mercy of circumstances as they unfold. We are action-oriented and think that waiting – pausing from frenetic activity – is a terrible waste of time and energy.

However, as we consider principles presented in the Bible from our perspectives as business and professional people, we discover that some of God’s greatest work occurs after He has commanded His people to wait.

For instance, we read in Acts 16 a time when the apostle Paul and

his companions were prohibited from going into an area that seemed very reasonable for them to enter: “When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to” (Acts 16:7).

They must of wondered why, knowing the people in the region needed to hear the Good News they were so eager to present.

In fact, Paul was stopped twice from moving forward with his plan.

However, he later learned the reason for the delay. By waiting on the Lord and His timing, Paul eventually was able to launch a vibrant church in Macedonia instead. God, it turned out, had a better idea.

In Psalm 37, written by King David of Israel, we read passages filled with action verbs: “Trust in the Lord….” “Delight yourself in the Lord….” “Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him….” Those are words we like to hear – things we can do. But then we read, “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him” (Psalm 37:7). In verse 34 of the same psalm we read, “Wait for the Lord and keep his way.”

When we read such instructions, we want to respond, “What?

Wait? Why can’t we just keep moving?

There is so much to do!” Often we discover in retrospect that God’s plans and His timing are different – and superior – to what we had in mind. When you are feeling stifled by God, remember that He knows the beginning and the end. And our heavenly Father always knows what is best.

Fifty years after Apollo 11 landed on the moon, Palm Beach State College students are learning what it takes to explore outer space as participants in NASA’s undergraduate programs. Miguel Mattis and Matthew Merlo are part of a new generation of students inspired—like the Apollo generation before them—by NASA’s ambitious plans for future missions, which include sending the first woman astronaut to the moon by 2024, establishing a sustainable human presence there by 2028, and moving beyond to Mars.

Mattis enrolled at PBSC in 2017 to pursue his Associate in Arts degree in preparation for a bachelor’s degree in physics. Having a longtime fascination for stargazing and the planets, he jumped at the opportunity to become a NASA Community College Aerospace Scholar his freshman year. As a participant in the nationwide NCAS program, he learned about NASA’s missions and research and attended a four-day event at the Kennedy Space Center that gave him a behind-thescenes experience interacting with NASA engineers and subject matter experts.

Mattis made such a positive impression on the NCAS staff that he was invited back in 2018 as a paid student assistant to help mentor the new class of scholars.

This year, Mattis participated in another NASA undergraduate program called L’Space Virtual Academy. In the first 12-week session, 450 students from across the country worked in teams of 10 to develop a mission concept. Working virtually and given access to NASA tools, Mattis’ team devised a plan to find ice on Mars using a drone with a five-kilogram weight limit. Currently, Mattis is participating in the second session, in which 200 students are competing in teams to write and evaluate proposals for solving space exploration problems. NASA awards a $10,000 grant to the top team, and the winning proposal concept moves forward to prototyping and testing at NASA. The winner is yet to be chosen, but Mattis’ team hopes their proposed technology will become an integral part of future moon missions.

“The L’Space programs are the hardest things I’ve ever done in my scholastic career, hands down,” said Mattis, who also works as a mental health technician at JFK Medical Center.

As he finishes his A.A. degree this summer and prepares to start at Florida Atlantic University this fall, he acknowledged the inspiration and support of the NASA professionals he has met, who encouraged him to believe that a NASA career is within his reach. Several NASA employees started at community colleges, such as Omar Baez Jr., the senior launch director at the Kennedy Space Center, who has an associate degree from Miami Dade College. Mattis said, “You think NASA people are these great mythical scientific figures, but instead they are down-to-earth, nice people, who give

July 19 - August 1, 2019

www.bocaratontribune.com

great advice.”

He also thinks that leaders in the STEM fields are starting to recognize the importance of people who, like himself, don’t always follow a linear path in life.

“NASA is looking for fresh ideas from unorthodox places,” Mattis said.

“They want community college students. They want single mothers who are working a job, taking care of their parents and doing this virtual academy. So you’re not an outlier who isn’t going to be considered—you are actually exactly who they are looking for.”

Merlo, a student in PBSC’s Dr. Floyd F. Koch Honors College, is also aiming for a NASA career. He has recently completed the online portion of the NCAS program and looks forward to the opportunity to attend an onsite NASA experience this fall. Merlo attends PBSC part time and hopes to study aerospace engineering at either the University of Florida or Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University after he graduates in spring 2020.

In reflecting on the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, Merlo says he thinks of Mars the way people 50 years ago thought of the moon. His final project for the NCAS program was to read and analyze NASA’s plans for human missions to Mars by the 2030s.

“Mars is my moon, so to speak,” Merlo said. “I always thought we’d get to Mars one day, yet I didn’t think it would be in my lifetime. But to see those plans and think about actually being alive when they land on Mars—it’s going to be a game-changer for my thought process.

It’s very exciting stuff!”

Lilian Jordan, PBSC physics professor and department chair for physical sciences, has no doubt that her students of today might very well be among those who make the Mars mission a reality.

“The NCAS and L’Space programs are a tremendous opportunity for students to interact with NASA professionals and gain hands-on knowledge and experience that could contribute to making that dream come true.”

Indeed, Jordan is contacted regularly by NASA with reminders to tell her students about the application deadlines for their programs.

“Over the years, we have had so many students participate—we are definitely well known to NASA,” she said. “It just illustrates the quality of our students.

They want more of our students.”

However, Mattis and Merlo give credit to Jordan and their other PBSC professors.

“Their support helps me stay on track and have confidence, and that’s something you need when you’re applying to these programs,” Merlo said. “It’s good to know that the professors have your back, and they really do want to help you succeed if you want to succeed yourself.”

911 Emergency Text Service Prospers in PBC By: Christina Hristofordis

Did you know you can contact the police through a simple text message chain? According to Palm Beach Post, the “Text-to-911” emergency service, has been proved successful through its first year of operation in Palm Beach County.

The texting emergency service proves vital in offering a fast way to relay a message to the authorities in a high-stakes situation, one of the most common cases seen through this service has been domestic violence. Dan Koenig, Palm Beach County’s 911 planning coordinator, stated they have responded to around 25 emergencies a month solely based on the 911 text service.

As of right now, 40 counties in Florida offer the service and 13 more are scheduled to begin using the service by the end of 2021.

In order to properly use the 911 text service, individuals must be aware of

July 19 - August 1, 2019

several issues: - Dispatchers cannot track your location from the text you send. You must establish a proper location within the text in order to inform dispatchers.

-The system does not accept any type of media, you may only send simple, English messages.

- You must avoid the use of slang or abbreviations in order to ensure your message is properly deduced.

PBA English Honor Society Wins Outstanding Chapter Award

BOCA RATON, FL BID AUGUST 22–27

AUCTION

The University’s Alpha Zeta Mu chapter of the Sigma Tau Delta International English Honor Society won the Outstanding Chapter Award this spring, achieving the honor for the second time in three years.

The award recognizes the chapter as the best of more than 850 universities. PBA’s chapter received an abundance of other accolades.

Ten students presented at the international convention in St. Louis, Missouri, this year, up from last year’s eight.

Rachel Sakrisson ’19, the English department’s outstanding graduate and a Women of Distinction scholarship recipient, won first place in the British Literature category at the 2018 convention for her critical essay “Iago, Othello and the Languages of Passivity and Activity.” Sakrisson went on to win Sigma Tau Delta’s internship stipend to pay her living expenses while working for Sen. Marco Rubio in Washington, D.C., this summer.

Rita Rivera ’18, a past chapter president, won Sigma Tau Delta’s 201718 Student Leadership Award. She is one of only two members nationally to receive the award. Rivera also received an honorable mention for her original prose, “Padre Nuestro,” at the 2018 convention.

For the fifth straight year, the chapter has had a student or students accepted to the “Rectangle,” Sigma Delta Tau’s creative writing journal, said faculty adviser Dr. Carl Miller.

“It really is a reflection on the quality of our students, not just in the English department but at PBA,” Miller

said.

The honor society is open to students of any major, as long as they have completed at least two English courses beyond the usual requirements for freshman English, maintain a ‘B’ average or higher and rank in the highest 35 percent of their class.

The English faculty nominated students. At their induction ceremony, rather than repeating an oath, students read aloud their favorite literary passage.

Miller credited English Professor David Athey for advising students on their submissions to the writing journal, as well as advising the honor society while Miller was teaching in London for a semester.

Rivera’s short fiction story, “Padre Nuestro,” was published in the 2019 “Rectangle.” David Doyle ’18 had two poems published in the journal. Rivera was a psychology and English major, and Doyle was in the pre-health professional preparation track of the biology major.

Financial support from PBA allowed the chapter to send students to the national convention, where they had been accepted to present.

Presenting at the convention gave students a taste of graduate school — which helped them decide if it’s something they want to pursue. The experience also bolstered their graduate school applications.

“This really is an all-star cast that we have going,” Miller said. “These are students who really love literature and love writing.”

Boca Library and FAU Present Sleep Talk

Did you know that sleep underlies all aspects of physical and mental well-being? Join Florida Atlantic University’s Christine Spadola, Ph.D., as she shares the latest information and research in “Sleep: Why We Need It and How to Get It.” In this free presentation at the City of Boca Raton’s Downtown Library, Dr. Spadola will uncover everything you need to know about the science of sleep, including recommended sleep duration, and modifiable behaviors that can improve your sleep.

Dr. Spadola is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than 15 years of clinical and behavioral research experience. She completed a postdoctoral research fellowship in the Division of Sleep and Circadian Disorders at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. She has conducted several community-based sleep research projects, and was awarded a health disparities enrichment award from Harvard University to present her

Clerk & Comptroller Honored with Cigna’s Well-Being Award

research findings at the 2018 Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies. Her research interests span sleep, mental health promotion, substance abuse, and mindfulness.

The “FAU Research in Action” series is a yearlong collaboration between Florida Atlantic University’s Division of Research and the City of Boca Raton Libraries in which researchers share their innovative work and seek input from the community. Oyuki De Santiago Poletz, Program Services Librarian, notes, “Boca Raton is fortunate to have an active research university in our own backyard. This series is an excellent opportunity for our residents to engage with the experts at Florida Atlantic University and contribute to the direction of ground-breaking research.”

“Sleep: Why We Need It and How to Get It” is free and open to the public. Register through the calendar at bocalibrary.org or call the library at 561393-7852.

The Clerk & Comptroller was recognized by one of the country’s top health insurers as a leader in workplace wellness for providing programs that improve the overall well-being of its nearly 700 employees.

Cigna, a national health services company, named the Clerk & Comptroller’s office as a recipient of its 2019 Outstanding Culture of Well-Being Award during a July 24 ceremony in Fort Lauderdale.

The Clerk & Comptroller’s workplace wellness program focuses on the overall well-being of its team, from cash incentives that reward employees for making healthy choices to one-onone meetings with financial planners to encourage fiscal wellness.

“It is an honor to be recognized for providing a premier wellness program that encourages and educates employees about the importance of investing in themselves,” said Clerk & Comptroller Sharon R. Bock, Esq. “I am extremely proud of our efforts to ensure our employees have the support and resources they need to make healthy choices for themselves and their family members.”

Each year, Cigna recognizes organizations that are committed to improving the health and well-being of employees through workplace programs.

The Clerk & Comptroller was

one of three South Florida organizations to receive this year’s top award. Other recipients include the City of Coconut Creek in Broward County and Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo.

This marks the second time in as many months that the Clerk & Comptroller has been recognized for its continued commitment to improving the physical, emotional and financial health of its employees. In May, the office earned the second place spot on the South Florida Business Journal’s healthiest employer list for 2019.

“As a certified public accountant, I believe that helping our employees achieve financial wellness is key to improving their overall well-being,” said Shannon R. Chessman, the Clerk’s Chief Operating Officer. “By emphasizing financial health as part of our broader wellness initiative, we help ensure our employees have the quality of life they need for a successful future.”

The Clerk’s office has a longestablished tradition of offering employees a comprehensive wellness program that focuses on their total health. The program features a variety of wellness opportunities, including lunch & learn workshops, lifestyle challenges, training events and one-on-one meetings with financial planning experts.

Sweet Dream Makers Receives Truck From Lou Bachrodt Chevrolet

Since the organization was founded in 2012, Sweet Dream Makers has served families in Palm Beach County by providing new beds, bedding, and donated essential furniture to those in need. They give between 1,800 and 2,000 beds to local families annually, but their data shows that requests for beds spike dramatically beginning in July. Sweet Dream Makers attributes this trend to the back to school season and with the support of The Lou Bachrodt Auto Group and the Sokol Foundation, they are rolling out to get every student into a bed of their own during their Back to School Campaign.

“We know from our data that this is the busiest time of year for bed requests,” says Sweet Dream Makers’ executive director Suzanne Broad. “Every parent wants their children to be able to get a good night’s sleep so they can do their best in school.”

Broad’s organization partners with more than 40 social service agencies to identify families who are sleeping on floors, couches, sharing small mattresses, or in otherwise unsafe or unsanitary conditions.

Inadequate sleep is strongly linked to poor social, emotional, and physical health, as well as poor academic performance for children. Of the students who have received beds from Sweet Dream Makers, 80% have improved their grades, behavior, and homework habits once they’ve been able

www.bocaratontribune.com

to establish healthy sleep habits in a bed of their own.

“One of the first questions I ask about my students who are struggling is how they’re sleeping,” says Beth Nottman, Director of the Learning Lab at Saint Andrews School in Boca Raton. “A good night of sleep is invaluable for a student, especially one who is having difficulties with attention, focusing, or remembering information.”

“Sleep is huge,” Shauntay King, Principal at Pine Grove Elementary School in Delray Beach, agrees. “Children lacking rest often struggle to stay focused and often have less than positive attitudes towards their teachers, peers, and assignments.”

The Lou Bachrodt Auto Group has generously donated a 16’ delivery truck to support Sweet Dream Makers efforts for the Back to School season and beyond. The new truck is already on the road in Palm Beach County, helping transport essential furniture from Sweet Dream Makers’ warehouse to area families. “Many of the families that Sweet Dream Makers helps don’t have or can’t afford to rent a vehicle suitable for moving big furniture,” says Sean Bachrodt, COO/President of The Lou Bachrodt Auto Group. “We are delighted to partner with Sweet Dream Makers to help these families get the things they need to sleep better tonight and have a better tomorrow.”

sports Brita Cool Joins Boca Raton FC as Main Sponsor

Boca Raton Football Club is delighted to announce that Brita Cool has signed to become the main sponsor for Boca Raton FC.

Brita Cool utilizes innovative technology to address exertional heat-related illness by enhancing the body’s own thermoregulatory process. Their system uses electrostatic technology to evenly coat the entire body with a thin layer of water, which assists in the reduction of heat-related illnesses by keeping athletes cool, aiding in quicker recovery and ready to perform at peak capacity.

“We are so excited about our partnership with Brita Cool,” said Boca Raton FC president, Douglas Heizer.

“Brita Cool is with some of the best local teams, such as Florida Atlantic University, and having them join the Boca Raton FC family was a no-brainer.”

The Brita Cool logo is proudly displayed across the chest of both the primary and alternate Boca Raton FC jerseys, and as the main sponsor in the Boca Raton FC site.

“Brita Cool is thrilled to support the Boca Raton FC,” said Chief Opera-

tions Officer, Keri Lestage, PhD. “We got into this business to educate athletes on the importance of proper hydration and maintaining a stable body temperature, both of which are fundamental to top performance. Brita IS hydration and coupled with our evaporative cooling technology, we offer a winning solution to keep our athletes performing at their best.”

“We have been using the Brita Cool System at practices and games and for us having a way to cool players is very important due to the extreme South Florida heat,” says head coach Jim Rooney.

“The System just gives our players more benefits and shows how serious Boca Raton FC are when it comes to giving our players the best.”

Boca Raton FC is currently gearing up for the 2019 UPSL Fall Season, and a 2020 U.S. Open Cup run that will begin later this fall.

Lynn Baseball Honored by ABCA with Team Academic Excellence Award

Lynn University's baseball program received recognition for its success in the classroom from the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) on Wednesday, collecting a Team Academic Excellence Award for the 2019 season.

This is the second time that the Fighting Knights have earned this accolade and the first since the 2016 season, the award's inaugural year. The Blue and White are one of just two Sunshine State

Conference (SSC) programs to be tabbed with this honor, joined by Florida Tech, and one of just 37 Division II programs across the country.

In order to qualify for the award, each team must have a minimum 3.00 grade-point average for the 2018-19 academic year; this year 301 college and high school programs were honored with the award.

Lynn Alum Daniel Young Wins First Career Pro Tournament

Lynn University men's golf alumnus Daniel Young won his first career professional tournament following a victory at the Eagle Orchid Scottish Masters at Macdonald Spey Valley Resort.

Young shot rounds of 65-67-69 to finish 12-under par to clinch his first title on the PGA EuroPro Tour. The recent Lynn Hall of Fame inductee held off Richard Mansell, who shot a tournament-best 64 in the final round, to win by two shots. Mansell previously played at

Nova Southeastern.

Young ended his time with the Blue and White in 2013 after a stellar four-year career in which he became the program's first three-time All-American and first three-time All-Sunshine State Conference selection. He guided the men's golf program to a pair of NCAA Division II National Championship runner-up finishes (2011 & 2013) and was the individual runner-up in 2011.

PBA Appoints New Assistant Athletic Director for Compliance

Athletic Director Courtney Lovely has named Wispeny Ellis as assistant athletic director for compliance and student-athlete services, effective July 15.

"We're excited to welcome Wispeny Ellis to the senior leadership team in Sailfish Athletics," Lovely said. "Her professional experience at the national, conference and institutional levels across divisions made her an excellent fit to lead this very critical area of our athletics program. The University has an established culture of integrity and adherence to NCAA and Sunshine State Conference rules. I am confident that under Wispeny's leadership our culture of compliance will be further enhanced and set the standard for other NCAA Division II institutions to model."

Ellis joins PBA from the University of Arkansas, where she served in the Compliance Office and the Office of Student-Athlete Success. She worked closely with academic administrators to monitor student-athlete class attendance, create manuals and handle reports such as the SEC Honor Roll and Academic Progress Rate.

Ellis previously worked at Lynn

www.bocaratontribune.com

University in Boca Raton as the director of athletic compliance and deputy Title IX coordinator. She oversaw NCAA eligibility certifications while monitoring the department’s recruiting, financial aid and playing and practice seasons. She chaired the NCAA Division II Committee for Legislative Relief and the NAAC Reasonable Standards Committee.

"In our quest for excellence in intercollegiate athletics and the development of an elite student-athlete experience, PBA seeks toptiered talent for our athletic leadership team," said University President William M. B. Fleming, Jr. "I am thankful to Athletic Director Lovely and the search committee for identifying Wispeny Ellis and recognizing how Sailfish athletes will benefit from her extensive experience and personal values."

Ellis has worked for the Great Lakes Valley Conference, the NCAA Eligibility Center and a variety of other Universities. She received her bachelor’s degree in sports management from Texas A&M University and her master’s degree in sports administration from the University of North Texas.
