Boca Ballet’s Getting Ready for ‘Summer Breezes’
They weren’t in tutus yet, but two sets of ballerinas and four male dancers were practicing for Boca Ballet Theatre’s “Summer Breezes.”
The recent reception for patrons was more than a rehearsal for the performances at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 2 and 2 p.m. Aug. 3 in Countess de Hoernle Theatre in Spanish River High School as the venue.
New repertory ballets will include both classical and contemporary works by two national choreographers, both here for workshops so they could give the dancers pointers. “They are dancing for them and creating a show you will see in costume,” Boca Ballet school and co-artistic director Jane Tyree said in her welcome.

City Plans Pushback Repeat
By Marci Shatzman
More than 30 speakers lined up at Tuesday night’s city council meeting to object to Boca’s evolving plans for a new government center downtown. Most wore Save Boca T-shirts and criticized efforts to sell public land and move east Boca recreational fields to parks too far for children to walk. Some called for a voter referendum. But this isn’t the first time that Boca voters rallied against a government plan, and last time they were effective. Mayor Scott Singer acknowledged there were more residents in the audience Tuesday than the “last 10 meetings combined.” Council heard everyone out, so the 6 p.m. meeting lasted until 10:46 p.m.

Expecting in Florida? New Temporary Parking Pass Offers Relief for Moms-to-Be
Boca Raton, FL - July 9, 2025 — Expecting mothers across Florida have a new tool in their parenting toolkit that could be a game-changer in the months ahead: the Expectant Mothers Temporary Parking Pass. The initiative, now available through the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), is helping parents-to-be navigate the often overwhelming logistics of pregnancy and new motherhood — one parking space at a time.
The pass, which costs only $15 and is valid for one year, allows pregnant women — and later, new moms — to use designated accessible parking spaces during one of life’s most physically and emotionally demanding seasons. But it’s not just about the convenience of walking shorter distances during pregnancy.
“While I don’t mind walking a little farther when I’m pregnant, this pass isn’t really about that,” said one local mom. “It’s about those moments postpartum when the Florida heat is pounding, you’re struggling to get your newborn out of the car, you have a toddler in tow, and you’re doing your best to just hold it all together. On days like that, this small support makes a world of difference.”
The pass is not tied to a single vehicle. Instead, it’s assigned to the mother, allowing her to use it in any car she travels in. This flexibility makes it especially helpful for fam -
ilies juggling childcare, carpools, or multiple vehicles.
Here’s how to apply:
Download and print the form from the FLHSMV website:
https://www.flhsmv.gov/pdf/ forms/83040.pdf
Have your OB-GYN sign it. Most providers are familiar with the form and happy to assist.
Bring the signed form to your local DMV.
Palm Beach County residents in Jupiter or Palm Beach Gardens can book appointments here:
https://www.pbctax.gov/palmbeach-county-services/
Pay the $15 fee and receive your one-year temporary permit.
Mothers are encouraged to time their applications strategically — ideally toward the end of their pregnancy — to maximize the pass’s usefulness during the baby’s early months.
“I plan to stop using the pass once I’ve recovered medically and the baby’s not with me,” the same mom added. “This isn’t about abusing a benefit. It’s about giving moms an extra hand when they truly need it most.”
In a state known for high temperatures, heavy rains, and busy parking lots, the Expectant Mothers Temporary Parking Pass may offer more than convenience — it offers a little extra peace of mind during one of life’s most beautiful and chaotic transitions.

Apartments OK’d Downtown But No to Kiosks
By Marci Shatzman
Boca Raton, FL – July 8, 2025 –In a time when young children across the country are still grappling with the lasting effects of pandemic-era learning loss, Fuller Center is proud to announce that 100% of its 2025 Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) graduates have achieved kindergarten readiness. All 93 Fuller Center students scored at or above average benchmarks, far surpassing both state and national averages.
This milestone comes amid a growing education crisis. According to a new report from the Florida Chamber of Commerce’s Early Learning Project, only 50% of Palm Beach County students are ready for kindergarten and 51% are ready statewide. Fuller Center was able to double the statewide trend by focusing on extra support for early learners and providing more resources to teachers and VPK classrooms.
According to the Florida Department of Education’s Division of Early Learning, only 64% of children who completed a VPK program in 2023–2024 were deemed ready for kindergarten. Across the nation, kindergarten readiness rates are often even lower, with early literacy skills still struggling to rebound to pre-pandemic levels.
“We are facing what I call a ‘quiet crisis,’” said Eric Roby, CEO of the Fuller Center. “The pandemic disrupted foundational learning years for millions of children, and the consequences won’t fully reveal themselves until years down the line—when these children reach high school, college, or the workforce. At Fuller Center, we’re not waiting to see the effects. We’re addressing these challenges now so the children we serve can meet reading standards soon and avoid life-long financial hardships later.”
The Florida Chamber of Commerce is focused on kindergarten read-
iness as it tracks Florida’s future workforce needs. It currently tracks how many Florida 3- and 4-year-olds are enrolled in programs like Fuller Center’s. This year, only 59% of 4-year-olds graduated from a VPK program.
”Enrolling children in high-quality early learning programs at or before 5 lays the foundation for future success, developing essential skills in early literacy, math, and other areas key for kindergarten readiness”, said Makayla Buchanan, Director of Early Learning and Literacy Florida Chamber Foundation.
“This isn’t just about passing a readiness test,” Roby added. “It’s about making sure our children are equipped with the literacy tools they’ll need to thrive academically and economically in the future.”
Fuller Center’s early education model addresses the whole child by pairing academics with social-emotional learning and robust family support. With this holistic, cradle-to-career approach, Fuller Center is not just preparing children for school—but for life.
For more than 50 years, the Fuller Center has embraced, educated, and empowered hardworking, under-resourced families across South Florida. Serving over 1,100 children annually — from infants through teens — and reaching more than 700 families across 40+ zip codes in Palm Beach and Broward Counties, the Fuller Center provides affordable, high-quality early education, out-of-school programs, private elementary education, teen leadership development, and family support services. Each year, the organization delivers more than 430,000 meals and snacks to ensure children’s health and wellbeing at three campuses.

City Plans Pushback Repeat

More than 30 speakers lined up at Tuesday night’s city council meeting to object to Boca’s evolving plans for a new government center downtown. Most wore Save Boca T-shirts and criticized efforts to sell public land and move east Boca recreational fields to parks too far for children to walk. Some called for a voter referendum. But this isn’t the first time that Boca voters rallied against a government plan, and last time they were effective.
Mayor Scott Singer acknowledged there were more residents in the audience Tuesday than the “last 10 meetings combined.” Council heard everyone out, so the 6 p.m. meeting lasted until 10:46 p.m. Singer emphasized there was no vote on any aspects of the government campus plan that night, and that council continues to welcome public feedback at city meetings and the city’s designated government campus website.
The message on Save Boca’ website Wednesday read in part: “Thank you to everyone for an amazing turnout… This is just the beginning…as our movement continues to grow.” There’s a petition and explicit instructions online, and a Save Boca Face -

book page.
This is what happened last time: In 2018, Boca voters passed by nearly two-thirds a ballot referendum to keep city-owned waterfront property out of commercial hands. It worked. At the time, The Hillstone Restaurant Group was proposing a restaurant lease on the former Wildflower restaurant site, now a passive waterfront park. There were “vote no” signs all over the city, and the opposition ran television ads and sent emails. The Nov. 8 no vote was 28,077 to 13,960.
Here’s a quote from the Save Boca website: “We must act now to save our open spaces within 31 acres of public land in Boca Raton, which includes the vast 17-acre Memorial park, the Boca Raton Tennis Center with 10 clay courts, the Skate Park, 2 large baseball/softball fields, a children’s playground, a basketball court, shuffleboard courts, and the site of the historic Children’s Museum.”
Here’s a video of the entire July 15 city council meeting that started at 6:40 p.m. after technical issues were resolved. https://bocaraton. granicus.com/player/clip/2926?view_ id=9&redirect=true

Foster Youth Resource Concierge: One-on-One Support for Teens Transitioning to Adulthood
Boca Raton, FL – July 14, 2025 – In Palm Beach County, teens in foster care often face adulthood alone—navigating complex systems with little guidance or support. That’s why Speak Up for Kids created the Foster Youth Resource Concierge (FYRC): a first-of-its-kind program offering hands-on, one-onone guidance to help youth confidently step into independence.
Whether a teen is living with relatives, in a foster home, or approaching emancipation, FYRC provides tailored, personal support that truly makes a difference. Each youth is paired with a trained Concierge who breaks down what’s ahead—turning uncertainty into actionable, achievable steps. The goal? Ensure every youth feels seen, supported, and prepared for what comes next.
“The Foster Youth Resource Concierge flips the script—it puts the young person in the driver’s seat,” says Program Director Trish Zenczak. “Whether they need help with paperwork, practice for an interview, or just someone to call when things get confusing, the Concierge is there to follow their lead. It’s not about telling them what to do— it’s about empowering them to do it.”
Since its launch, FYRC has delivered meaningful, personalized support to youth preparing for adulthood, including:
248 one-on-one visits — including 203 in-person meetings — fostering trust, encouragement, and steady guidance during one of life’s most vulnerable transitions.
Over 70 essential resources provided, from beds and laptops to hygiene items and meals — ensuring basic needs are met so youth can focus on building their future.
Individualized support for 19 youth, each receiving consistent care designed to mitigate the overwhelming pressures
of aging out of foster care and cultivate lasting self-worth.
Take Ashlyn, a 17-year-old living with her grandmother. After guardianship was finalized, they were left with a stack of unfamiliar paperwork—FAFSA, PESS, tuition waivers—but no one to guide them. With the help of her FYRC, Ashlyn built a resume, landed two jobs, enrolled in driving lessons, completed financial aid forms, and started job training—all before her 18th birthday.
There’s a big difference between having the right forms and having the right support,” adds Zenczak. “Our FYRCs don’t just point kids in the right direction—they walk alongside them, making sure nothing falls through the cracks.”
The program is open to youth aged 16 and older who are currently in the dependency system and are ready to take steps toward adulthood. Referrals can be made by caregivers, professionals, or the youth themselves.
To learn more about Speak Up for Kids and the Foster Youth Resource Concierge, visit www.speakupforkidspbc.org.
Speak Up for Kids welcomes support from donors, volunteers, and community partners to ensure no teen in foster care faces adulthood alone. Your contribution helps provide essentials— like transportation, hygiene kits, and tutoring—that open doors to opportunity and stability.
Speak Up for Kids is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit championing the rights of abused, abandoned, and neglected children in Palm Beach County. Through holistic programs and strategic advocacy, we work to mitigate trauma and cultivate self-worth in the lives of children living in foster care. Learn more at www.speakupforkidspbc.org.

What Else City Council Did
By Marci Shatzman
Tucked into the approved consent agenda at the July 15th city council meeting was the controversial agreement to relocate the softball fields in Memorial Park and in Meadows Park to an area in Sugar Sand Park that is now undeveloped.
Resolution No. 98-2025 “authorized the City Manager to execute an interlocal agreement with the Greater Boca Raton Beach and Park District for the development of a softball fields complex at Sugar Sand Park.”
Discussed earlier by council and approved by the district in June, this seals the deal, despite opposition at the council meeting. “Would you allow your child to ride a bike” from the east Boca parks to Sugar Sand,” at 300 N. Military Trail, one speaker said citing heavy traffic.
“The new softball complex…will be created on 11 acres in the undeveloped northwest corner of Sugar Sand. The new master plan is expected to remove the two softball fields currently at Memorial Park, adjacent to the current city hall. Meadows Park may also lose its softball field because of the redevelopment project,” according to the beach and park district update.
$17,400,000. Additionally, staff recommends an allocation of $50,000 for closing costs for a total cost of $17,450,000.”
Boca Raton Approves $17.4M Purchase to Relocate City Staff During Redevelopment
City staff explained why they were purchasing the building instead of leasing temporary offices to house “existing functions in City Hall as well as those within the Building Administration and Code Enforcement Building. Approximately 430 employees deliver services from City Hall and the BASE Building,” according to the city agenda. “Site evaluation activities began in January 2025, and 15 properties were evaluated and ten were toured by city staff. Evaluation of lease opportunities were complicated by the high annual cost and the general preference of office building owners to provide longer term lease options. As a result, purchase options were given greater consideration…The building is competitively priced relative to other properties that were evaluated and requires fewer improvements to accommodate City staff.”
City council also approved authorizing “a purchase and sale agreement with Meridian Park of Commerce, LLC for the purpose of the acquisition of certain real property with a street address of 6551 Park of Commerce Boulevard NW, Boca Raton, Florida. in the amount of
The building is now in the former Boca Raton library across from police headquarters and is used for permitting and code enforcement. Councilman Marc Wigder asked city staff if the restrooms were ADA compliant, and Deputy Mayor Fran Nachlas asked if buying furniture would also be needed. The city has the option to sell the building if it’s no longer needed after the new government complex is built, staff said.
Boca Raton, FL – July 16, 2025 The City of Boca Raton has approved the purchase of a commercial office building for $17.4 million to temporarily relocate approximately 430 municipal employees. The move is part of the city’s broader redevelopment plan, which includes the demolition and reconstruction of City Hall and the Building Administration and Code Enforcement (BACE) facilities.
The newly acquired Meridian Office Center, located at 6551 Park of Commerce Boulevard, is mostly vacant and requires minimal renovations to house city staff. Those renovation costs are already included in the purchase price.
City officials initially explored leasing options but found that most properties required 10-year commitments. Purchasing the building was ultimately
considered more practical and cost-effective.
Mayor Scott Singer emphasized the benefits of the location, citing its proximity to I-95 and its suitability for departments that are not public-facing. “This building is ready for use and provides a better work environment at a more reasonable cost,” he said.
In the long term, the property could also serve future city development projects. Its location near TriRail and the El Rio Trail makes it a strong candidate for mixed-use redevelopment and could help support additional workforce housing and local businesses.
The agreement includes a $450,000 deposit and an additional $50,000 allocated for closing costs, bringing the total to $17.45 million.

‘Purgamentum Init, Exit Purgamentum’
The inscription on my new tee shirt, a birthday gift from my daughter, read in big bold letters the Latin phrase, “PURGAMENTUM INIT, EXIT PURGAMENTUM,” an old Latin phrase I came across many years ago. On the shirt, beneath that inscription, it read in smaller red letters, “GARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUT.” My children heard me state those same words many times as I attempted to influence what they watched on television or at the movies, the kinds of the music they listened to, and the books they read.
‘Garbage in, garbage out’ was a phrase popularized during the early days of computers, meaning that if faulty programming were put into them, faulty results would come out. This applies to us as humans, too.
The human mind is a wonderful and extremely complex computer. In fact, during the earliest days of space exploration, a dedicated group of African American women received the nickname of “computers,” since they were using their minds to compute very complicated mathematical formulas that would make launching men into space possible. Their story is told through the theatrical film, “Hidden Figures.”
Receiving daily input. However, as with any of today’s electronic computers, what comes out of the human mind is no better than the value or validity of what is programmed into it. We begin receiving data while still in our mother’s womb, and we continue receiving input – information of all kinds – throughout our lives. This vast collection of data shapes our development of the ways we think and respond to the world around us, ultimately our personal worldviews. One’s worldview determines values, and these values in turn influence one’s behavior. In spite of this reality, many of us go through life without ever considering the validity or truth of those things that have shaped our thinking.
Until I began to read what God, the Creator of all things, had to say in the Bible, I too had never taken time to examine what was influencing my thinking. Whether as a fighter pilot during the Vietnam War or a commercial airline pi-
lot, I never paused to wonder, ‘Why do I think the way I do? What factors have served to influence and form my values, opinions, and the things I hold dear?’
Conformed to this world? However, after becoming a follower of Jesus Christ, I began to read the Word of God and discover statements like this from the apostle Paul, who wrote in Romans 12:2, “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – His good, pleasing and perfect will.” Was the information I was taking in from the media in all its forms conforming me into the “pattern of this world”?
With the myriads of written publications, television, films, radio, and the Internet, we live in an era of information overload. We are constantly being bombarded with all kinds of data, some of it good, some of it not good at all. After reading Romans 12:2 and other passages from the Scriptures, I realized if I am to maintain clear thinking, my challenge is to sift through all of this information and determine which is valid and based on truth, and which is based solely on the shifting sands of culture and godless values.
Finding the way to truth. To effectively make these assessments, I concluded that it is necessary for me – and I believe for all of us – to ensure that we are programming our minds, our ‘computers,’ with what we know to be true. As Jesus said, recorded in John 14:6, “I am the way and the truth and the life.” Knowing Him and seeking to follow His teachings in the Bible is the best way to avoid the trap of “purgamentum init, exit purgamentum” – garbage in, garbage out.

Get Smart About Your Money
“The wise man looks ahead. The fool attempts to fool himself and won’t face facts.” Proverbs 14:8 (TLB)
Money is a tool to be used for God’s purposes. We’re not to hoard it. We’re not to stockpile it. We’re not to worship it. We’re to use it! We can use temporary resources—what God has put in our hands—for permanent good.
In Luke 16, Jesus turned the dishonest but shrewd manager into the hero. The manager knew he was going to be fired, so he decided to make some friends by lowering the debts owed to his master.
What did Jesus like about this guy? Even though the man was dishonest, he did three things right, and those three things reveal lessons that God wants you to learn and apply to your finances.
The manager looked ahead.
Most people don’t think ahead when it comes to their finances. But if we’re not saving anything, we’re setting ourselves up for trouble.
Proverbs 14:8 says, “The wise man looks ahead. The fool attempts to fool himself and won’t face facts” (TLB).
The manager made a plan.
How do you know if you’ve got a financial plan? It’s really simple: Do you have a budget? A budget is simply planned spending. A budget tells your money where you want it to go rather than wondering where it went. You’ve got to have a plan.
The Bible says in Proverbs 16:9, “We should make plans—counting on God to direct us” (TLB).
The manager acted quickly.
Luke 16:4 says, “I know how to ensure that I’ll have plenty of friends who will give me a home when I am fired” (NLT).
The manager didn’t procrastinate; he didn’t delay. He set his plan in motion. He didn’t say, “Someday I’m going to get my finances in order” or “Someday I’m going to start saving for retirement.”
Jesus didn’t commend the manager’s dishonesty but his attitude, which said, “I’m going to think ahead. I’m going to make a plan. And I’m going to act today to invest in relationships that will make a difference for eternity.”
That’s smart! And Jesus wants you to do the same when it comes to your finances. Are you spending your treasure here on earth or looking ahead and using it for the good of God’s eternal kingdom?
Talk It Over
What facts do you need to face up to in your finances?
How can you start planning for the future when it comes to your finances? What do you want to accomplish in the future with your money?
Have you procrastinated when it comes to managing your finances and saving for the future? What can you do today to move forward in these areas?
“Heat Wave Safety” for Older Adults: Staying Safe and Healthy This Summer HEALTH & WELLNESS The Boca Raton Tribune
Boca Raton, FL – July 10, 2025 –Experts are forecasting that this summer will be particularly hot, which may pose heightened health risks for older adults. Seniors may be more susceptible to heat-related illnesses like heat stroke as well as complications from chronic conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure that are worsened by extreme heat.
Helping older adults during the summer months, requires some planning; awareness of the health, the home and the daily needs of our loved ones; and what support is available in their local communities. But with some effort, older adults may stay safe while enjoying the fun things about summer.
How Older Adults Can Stay Cool Plan Ahead: Follow local weather reports to ensure you have enough food, prescription medications and other home “staples” to get through a heat wave.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water, even if you are not thirsty. Limit caffeinated and alcoholic beverages. Drinks with electrolytes are also all right.
Use Cooling Strategies:Take cool showers, use fans, or place damp washcloths on your neck and wrists to help lower your body temperature.
Summer Proof Your Home: Keep shades down when the sun is most intense. Strategically place fans to better circulate air. Install ceiling fans, including temporary ones that can be placed in light bulb sockets.
Limit Physical Activities Outdoors
(particularly between 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.):
If you must go out:
Wear lightweight and light-colored clothing, sunglasses, and brimmed hats
Apply sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher
Bring water
Take frequent breaks in the shade or air-conditioned spaces.
Certain medications may make dehydration or sunburn more likely. So, whether you are staying inside or heading outside, check with your care provider to make sure you are taking the proper precautions.
How Caregivers Can Help Support Older Adults
Check-In: Be alert to signs of heat-related illness like confusion, weakness, flushed skin, dizziness, or excessive sweating. Seek medical attention if your loved one is experiencing symptoms of heat stroke, such as hot, dry skin, a rapid pulse, confusion or unconsciousness.
Help With Activities So Older Adults Can Limit Time Outside: Volunteer to run errands, including picking up prescriptions and food shopping.
Find Out About Community Services??:
“Cooling stations” or other public places, like libraries and community centers where older adults can go. Proactive check-in programs or telephonic “heat advisory” alerts

When Wildfires Strike, Use These Tips to Breathe Better at Home
(StatePoint) Recent, out-of-control wildfires in Canada are bringing hazy, dangerous air to American communities, prompting air quality alerts and advisories in multiple states nationwide. With the size and number of wildfires increasing, and fire seasons lengthening, experts advise taking action so you can protect your household.
“One of the single most effective strategies for improving your indoor air quality and breathing better every day, but particularly during events such as wildfires, is investing in the right air purifier,” says Ed Vlacich, CEO of Lasko Products, parent company of Guardian Technologies.
When it comes to something as important as your family’s health and safety, you should shop for products made by experienced manufacturers that make it their business to over perform. In 2005, GermGuardian set a goal to change the air purifier industry using rigorous and respected testing methods, performed by labs in the United States that exceed industry standards. Today, all its devices are designed and engineered domestically and are ENERGY STAR CERTIFIED, CARB (California Air Resource Board) Certified, ETL Certified and Zero Ozone Verified. While some competitors remove less than 90% of particles, independent testing shows that GermGuardian’s air purifiers remove more than 99.97%. That’s thanks to the devices’ advanced HEPA filtration system, which are designed to efficiently capture smoke particles, allergens and various pollutants.
One model that is particularly wellequipped to help ensure clean, healthy indoor air during wildfires is the GermGuardian 22” 4-in-1 Air Purifier (AC4825E). For added protection, users can pair it with a Smoke Clear HEPA Genuine Replacement Filter, which
has over 125 pleats and 8.0 square feet of filter media surface area, and is designed to specifically remove the particles, principal toxins, and some of the leading cancer-causing gases found in wildfire smoke, such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and acrolein. Also equipped with UV-C light technology, the AC4825E helps reduce airborne viruses, and its pre-filter traps dust, pet hair, and other large particles, while ensuring long-lasting performance of the HEPA filter. If you’re looking for a quick solution for recent wildfires, both products are available on Amazon for fast delivery and will start working immediately to help ensure clean air in your home.
In addition to investing in a high-performance air purifier, you can also make a few lifestyle adjustments and home improvements for better indoor air.
Weather strip and caulk windows and doors. It’s not only an effective strategy for reducing energy bills, it will go a long way toward improving indoor air quality, especially when the air outside is hazy and smoky. During times when wildfires are impacting local air quality, you may also want to limit or avoid activities that create smoke or fine particles indoors, including burning candles, smoking, vaping, or using a gas-burning stove. The EPA also recommends during these times to set your HVAC system to recirculate mode and to use portable AC units with one hose sparingly. According to Guardian Technologies, your HVAC system should also always be equipped with a high-quality filter. Raging wildfires that impact people hundreds and even thousands of miles away are no longer a rare occurrence. Fortunately, there are effective actions you can take right now to breathe better at home.
Porch Perfect: Easy Upgrades That Make a Lasting First Impression
(StatePoint) Whether you’re hosting neighbors for sweet tea or just enjoying the breeze after a long day, the front porch is having a moment. No longer just a pass-through space, it’s become an extension of the home’s personality—part welcome mat, part curb appeal showpiece. The good news? You don’t need a full renovation to breathe new life into your front entry. A few smart updates can add style, comfort and even a layer of security.
Start With the Hardware
Door hardware may not seem like the most exciting element to refresh— but it’s exactly where trends are starting to shift. Traditionally, storm and screen door hardware has stayed relatively static in style and finish. But that’s starting to change. Companies like Wright Products are bringing a more design-forward approach to this category, offering hardware that blends security with aesthetics.
This new wave of entry hardware features cleaner silhouettes, decorative backplates, and more modern finishes that complement today’s popular exterior palettes. It’s a subtle upgrade that makes a major visual difference—especially when paired with a freshly painted front door or a new doormat.
Layer in Light and Texture
String lights, lanterns or updated
sconces can turn your porch into a cozy, evening-ready space. Add a weather-resistant rug, a few patterned cushions, and a pair of planters flanking the doorway to create a polished, welcoming feel. Look for low-maintenance greenery or seasonal florals to liven things up without adding to your weekend to-do list
Get Smart About Security
Convenience and security can also get a front porch facelift. Adding an electronic deadbolt is one of the simplest ways to upgrade your door’s function without replacing the entire entry system. New models—like those from Brinks—offer features such as fingerprint access, keypad entry and even smartphone control. No more fumbling for keys when your hands are full of groceries or beach bags.
Finishing Touches
Think of your porch as the cover of your home’s story. A fresh wreath, a bench or rocking chair, and maybe a little wind chime go a long way toward setting the tone. And if your mailbox or house numbers are looking dated, this is a great time to swap those, too.
The front porch may be the first thing guests see, but with a few thoughtful updates, it might just become your favorite space, too.

Duffy’s Sports Grill Crowned Champion at 12th Annual Boca Burger Battle
Boca Raton, FL - July 14, 2025 — With the smell of sizzling burgers drifting through the summer air and the threat of thunderstorms miraculously held at bay, the 12th Annual Boca Burger Battle, A Grilling Affair! served up an unforgettable evening of culinary competition and community spirit in Sanborn Square Park on Saturday.
Sixteen contenders from across South Florida fired up their grills in front of a crowd of hungry festivalgoers and burger aficionados, all vying for the coveted Golden Burger Trophy in what has become one of Boca Raton’s most anticipated summer traditions. The event featured unlimited tastings of gourmet burgers, craft beers, wines,
seasonal cocktails, and more — all under the open skies of downtown Boca.
At the end of the night, Duffy’s Sports Grill emerged as the surprise champion, claiming the title of #1 Burger of 2025 in their debut appearance at the competition. “This was their first year participating,” noted event founder Russell Spadaccini, who also managed to keep the skies clear despite forecasts of lightning and rain. “They came in strong and absolutely delivered.”
The People’s Choice Award — voted on by hundreds of attendees — went to The Vault, which impressed the crowd with its bold flavors and creative presentation.
Returning favorites like Yard House, the two-time defending champion from Mizner Park, and contenders such as Bar Louie, Lazy Dog, and Maggie McFly’s, all brought their A-game, making the judges’ decisions especially tough. The battle also welcomed a slate of notable newcomers, including Banter at the Canopy Hilton, Beauregard’s Fine Meats & Butch-
ery, Mia Rosebud, and Studio Burger, among others.
Beyond the burgers, the event was rich with live music, an artisan vendor market, and a food drive benefiting Boca Helping Hands. Proceeds from the night supported the Children’s Giving Foundation, continuing the tradition of pairing great food with meaningful local impact.
As the sun set and the grills cooled, one thing was clear — the Boca Burger Battle remains a sizzling summer staple, where fierce competition meets heartfelt community and delicious memories are made one bite at a time.
Cornell Art Museum Presents “Not Candy” Artist Talk Featuring Harold Caudio
Boca Raton, FL – July 14, 2025 –The Cornell Art Museum invites the public to a powerful evening of art, identity, and conversation with South Florida-based Haitian American artist Harold Caudio. Titled “Not Candy,” the upcoming Artist Talk will take place on Saturday, July 19, 2025, from 6–9 p.m. and features Caudio, who is part of the museum’s current Pop Culture exhibition.
Known for transforming everyday materials into extraordinary statements, Caudio gained national attention for his striking Skittles portraits—meticulously crafted images of cultural icons like Janet Jackson and Tupac, composed entirely of Skittles candy. Inspired by the tragic killing of Trayvon Martin, who was carrying Skittles when he was shot, Caudio uses the medium as a poignant symbol of innocence, injustice, and resilience.
During the event, Caudio will also debut Warri-Her, a never-before-seen artwork hand-sewn with yarn that continues his exploration of empowerment, narrative, and social commentary through unconventional materials. He has also announced a surprise special tribute presentation dedicated to professional tennis player Coco Gauff.
WHEN: Saturday, July 19, 2025 from 6–9 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. Artist talk begins at 7 p.m.
(Museum hours are Wednesday 12–5 p.m.; Thursday & Friday 12–7 p.m.; Saturday 10 a.m. –5 p.m.; and Sunday 12–5 p.m.)
WHERE: Cornell Art Museum, 51 N. Swinton Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33444. (Parking available in Old School Square garage.)
DETAILS: This event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. Donations are appreciated. Harold Caudio is a Haitian American multidisciplinary artist and designer whose vibrant work spans portraits, installations, and immersive experiences, blending pop art with cultural storytelling. Known for his use of unconventional materials like Skittles candy, his groundbreaking piece JUSTUS, inspired by Trayvon Martin, brought na-
tional recognition and highlighted his dedication to themes of resilience, unity, and identity. Through collaborations with brands like Sony Studios, Bad Boys movie franchise, American Express, and Marriott, as well as various charities, Caudio has used his art to drive creative impact and foster inclusivity. His Colored Collextion, featuring meticulously crafted Skittles portraits of icons such as Michael Jackson and Michelle Obama, celebrates culture and individuality, with each piece taking 6-8 weeks to complete. A recipient of the Emerald Torch Lifetime Achievement Award, Caudio’s work has been showcased at events like Art Basel Miami, the Wearable Art Gala, and LVMHs Culture House. His innovative approach to art continues to connect communities, amplify underrepresented voices, and push the boundaries of creativity. Learn more at coloredcollextion.com.

Boca Ballet’s Getting Ready for ‘Summer Breezes’
By Marci Shatzman
They weren’t in tutus yet, but two sets of ballerinas and four male dancers were practicing for Boca Ballet Theatre’s “Summer Breezes.”
The recent reception for patrons was more than a rehearsal for the performances at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 2 and 2 p.m. Aug. 3 in Countess de Hoernle Theatre in Spanish River High School as the venue. Here’s the link for tickets and seating options: https://boca.getmytix.net/Tickets#823/Summer-Breezes
New repertory ballets will include both classical and contemporary works by two national choreographers, both
here for workshops so they could give the dancers pointers. “They are dancing for them and creating a show you will see in costume,” Boca Ballet school and co-artistic director Jane Tyree said in her welcome.
James Sofranko, artistic director of Grand Rapids Ballet, went to Harid Conservatory and Spanish River High School here in Boca. A Julliard graduate, he was a ballet dancer himself before joining the Michigan ballet company. “This is the first time we’re running through the whole dance,” he told onlookers about the 12 ballerinas on the dance floor. Music by Bach and Vivaldi.
Nick Mullikin, artistic director of Nashville Ballet, named his sequence “Shades of an Echo,” faster paced with 16 ballerinas and the four male dancers. Lots of lifts. He put them through their paces. “I’m really excited to work with dancers,” he said, after praising their stamina.
Among the audience seated on folding chairs against the mirrors in the rehearsal space were board member John Maggio and his wife Tricia Maggio, who takes an adult class with Boca Ballet’s school: https://www.bocaballet.org/ open-adult-classes
