COMMUNITY Boca Bowl Football Previews with Golf By Marci Shatzman
Were they having fun yet? You bet. Twenty-two foursomes hit the links at The Boca Raton in perfect weather Tuesday, starting with a 12:15 p.m. shotgun start. Their golf tourney was the lead-in for ESPN Events’ 12th annual Boca Raton Bowl college football matchup coming up on Dec. 23, using Florida Atlantic University’s Flager Credit Union Stadium in Boca as the venue. “This brings together our sponsors, our partners, vendors and community
members, so it feels like a family event,” Doug Mosley, the Bowl’s executive director said at the outdoor veranda reception and awards ceremony after play. Among the 88 golfers were Boca Chamber CEO/president Troy McLellan’s foursome, including Randy Nobles, who chairs the Boca Raton Airport Authority; Baptist Health’s Reggie Laroche and Habitat for Humanity of Greater Palm Beach County CEO Jennifer Thomason, who best summed-up her day: “I had thirsty golf balls, about 8, and some went to the beach,” she joked about the water and bunkers on the course. Mosley is on her board of directors. “We played wicked awesome, and the golfers behind us were very patient,” Troy said about their slow play, using his favorite wicked phrase. There was only one official ladies’ foursome, dressed alike, with ultra non-profit volunteer Sue Diener. In fact, Kimberly Scaggs was the longest drive ladies’ winner. Women were among other foursomes, including the No. 1 winner from The Breakers Palm Beach. Among the fun activations on the course were FAU’s golf team; James Hardie Pro Football Hall of Fame pro golf outing, coming up March 2 to 8 in Boca; Roger Dean Stadium and Delta Airlines. The awards reception was emceed by ESPN local radio host Theo Dorsey. Talk about fun…here’s all the Boca Raton Bowl details: www.bocaratonbowl.com
Case Dismissed Against SaveBoca Vote By Marci Shatzman The lawsuit filed questioning the legal legitimacy of the SaveBoca city charter amendment vote outlawing the sale of public lands has been dismissed by the same plaintiff who filed it. The suit, and two separate voter questions are based on the possible plans for a new Boca Raton downtown goverment campus that have become contentious. The notice of voluntary dismissal without prejudice was signed by retired attorney Ned Kimmelman on Oct. 15 and released by the 15th Judicial Circuit of Palm Beach County. The court sent the official dismissal to SaveBoca, the city of Boca Raton and Palm Beach Supervisor of Elections. A city spokesperson said there would be no official city comment because
the lawsuit was dismissed. Stand by for reaction from Kimmelman. SaveBoca founder Jon Pearlman said he has not been officially notified yet. The lawsuit was based on questioning the exact wording of signed petitions by SaveBoca. The petitions were accepted by the city after they were verified from registed voter rolls by the supervisor of elections. That allowed a question to be placed on the March 10. 2026 Municipal Election ballot amending the city charter to include no public lands can be sold. Registered city voters will be able to vote yes or no on the amendment. The city and its interim private partner the Terra and Frisbie Group also agreed to have a separate referendum on their final plans on the ballot. www.bocaratontribune.com

Celebrating Breast Cancer Survivorship
CART OON
By Marci Shatzman
Some women danced down the pink carpet. They were even handed a pink rose at the first celebration to mark National Breast Cancer Reconstruction Awareness Day. Hundreds of women turned out wearing pink, of course. They all applauded their own and others’ recovery and remission. But only a few chose to walk the walk in the lobby of Lynn Women’s Health and Wellness Institute on the campus of Boca Raton Regional Hospital. Reconstruction surgically restores “what breast cancer may have taken away,” plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Liza Wu told the crowd. “Hope is when everyone knows her options,” added breast surgeon oncologist and the event’s emcee Dr. Kerry-Ann McDonald. The event also included a marketplace of support services and merchandise provided by the hospital, American Cancer Society and others, including The Pink Queen Foundation that also recom-

Earlier this month, Boca’s longtime breast cancer philanthropist Morgan Pressel presented the institute with a brand new MammoVan with her late mother Kathryn Krickstein Pressel’s image. The other MammoVan mobile units have provided 21,007 screenings. In 2025 so far, a MammoVan has visited 62 new sites, treated 250 patients and provided follow-up care if needed, according to the institute. The former professional golfer, now a Golf Channel commentator, also partnered with the hospital and Dr. Louise Morrell for the Morgan Pressel Genetic Testing Center. Pressel lost her mother Kathryn Krickstein Pressel when Morgan was still a young teen. She has raised more than $18 million for breast cancer research and treatment through her foundation. Her annual golf outing with visiting golf pros and her gala is coming up again in St. Andrews Country Club in January. https://www.morganpresselfoundation.com/

BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES FOR YOUR FINANCES
FAITH
By Yessica Moreno
By Rick Warren
Biblical Principles For Your Finances Many of us keep calendars for noting and scheduling each of our activities, trusting everything will unfold as planned. But sooner or later – whether at work or within the home – unexpected crises disrupt our routine. Suddenly, important events must be cancelled, work commitments are put on hold, and everyday tasks are affected by circumstances beyond our control. In those moments, our financial and emotional stability can be shaken, generating uncertainty and concern. No person or community is exempt from these difficult challenges that eventually reach us all. In every economic crisis we experience, we need to pay close attention to principles the Bible offers for managing our finances so we can live with peace and confidence as we work through our challenges. Throughout Scripture, God has given us wisdom for handling every resource He places into our hands. Here are some basic principles found in the book of Proverbs and other parts of the Bible: Recognize our true situation. “Some who are poor pretend to be rich; others who are rich pretend to be poor”(Proverbs 13:7). If company revenues or our family income has decreased, we must adjust our spending. For example, I know people whose businesses were struggling so they decided to trade in a luxury car for a more economical one. The apostle Paul said, “I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything” (Philippians 4:12). This helps us understand that there are times of plenty and times of austerity. We can be grateful to God in both circumstances. “So if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that” (1 Timothy 6:8). Distinguish between what we want and what we need. Before spending, it helps to ask: Do we really need what we are about to buy, or will it just take up space among unused items? There never is a right time to waste money on non‑essentials. There is wisdom in seeking counsel and advice before taking on loans we might not be able to repay. “The wise have wealth and luxury, but fools spend whatever they Oct 23 - Oct 30, 2025

get” (Proverbs 21:20). Be sensitive and generous toward others’ needs. Pray and help others as your faith leads. While trusting in God’s protection and provision for us, we also can become the answer to someone else’s prayer. “If you help the poor, you are lending to the Lord – and He will repay you!” (Proverbs 19:17). Let us act with diligence and responsibility in our work. When facing economic pressure or uncertainty, we may be tempted to take shortcuts – cheating, avoiding responsibilities, or getting involved in dishonest practices to achieve quick results. However, the Bible encourages us to work with integrity and dedication, knowing steady and honest effort is a primary means through which God provides. “A hard worker has plenty of food, but a person who chases fantasies ends up in poverty”(Proverbs 28:19). Abandoning diligence to pursue the illusion of an easy solution can lead to painful consequences. On the other hand, when we work with responsibility, punctuality, and excellence, we honor God and open the door for Him to present us with new opportunities. May God’s promises to supply every one of your needs fill you with peace and security. Remember the Bible’s exhortation: “Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, ‘Never will I fail you. Never will I abandon you’” (Hebrews 13:5). Yessica Moreno is a mentor to women in CBMC Mexico. She is the administrator of Emaús Comunicaciones, a business dedicated to publishing and professional training based on biblical principles. She has been married for three decades to Edgar Medina, Director of CBMC Mexico. Together, they have two young adult children. Reflection/Discussion Questions How do you typically respond when confronting a financial crisis, whether in the workplace or in your home?

Be Relational Like Jesus “Love the Lord your God with all your heart . . . Love your neighbor as yourself.” Mark 12:30-31 (NIV) Small groups aren’t just beneficial—they’re biblical! Jesus started his public ministry when he was 30 years old. The first thing he did was get baptized. And the second thing he did was start a small group; he went out and gathered 12 guys to be his small group. For the next three years, he traveled and ate and ministered with them. Even Jesus needed a small group— and he was perfect! You need one even more than he did to make it in life. Why? You need a small group because they’re relational. That’s important because life is all about learning how to love. And you can’t love unless you build relationships. Small groups are the laboratory for learning relational skills. They’re a laboratory for learning how to love. You can’t have a conversation with a crowd. But in a small group you can ask questions and share wisdom. In a small group you can pray in specific ways for each other, get support, and share the ups and downs of life. One of the problems in our culture today is that we live among strangers. People aren’t learning relational skills anymore. We don’t know how to make conversation—and worse, we sometimes don’t even try. Electric garage doors have made us all strangers! We don’t ever have to engage with or even

meet our neighbors. We’re not very good at relational skills because we don’t put ourselves in situations where we learn them. Jesus said the most important thing in life is learning how to love, and it’s called the Great Commandment: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart . . . Love your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:30-31 NIV). That means the most important thing for you to do on earth is to learn relational skills—loving God and loving other people. And to do that, you must get to know people personally. You don’t have to know everybody in the church for it to be your church. But you do have to know somebody. You need a few people who know when you get sick or when you leave the hospital, when you get a raise or when you get laid off, when you can’t pay a bill or when you need a ride to the airport. They know you. They celebrate with you. And they show up when you need them. You learn to love others like that— like Jesus loves us—through a small group. Talk It Over Why does learning to love like Jesus take intentionality? What are your fears about opening up your life to others? In what ways did Jesus model loving his “small group” of disciples well?

COLUMNIST OPINION
SOLVITUR AMBULANDO
By Kartik Krishnaiyer
By: Douglas G Logan
Mayor Scott Singer’s odd Fascination with New York City does nothing for Boca Raton Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer seems to have developed an unusual bordering on fanatical fascination with New York City. In a recent Fox News Digital interview, he warned of a possible exodus of residents and businesses from New York if Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani wins next month’s election. Singer portrayed Boca Raton as the promised land — a haven for those seeking to escape high taxes and crime. This is especially oddly timed considering New York City seems to be doing better than South Florida of late. But here at home, many residents are asking a fair question: why is Mayor Singer more concerned about New York’s future than Boca Raton’s present? While he comments on problems hundreds of miles away, his city faces serious issues that need his attention — growing concerns over overdevelopment, transparency, and public trust. His much-promoted “legacy project,” the Downtown City Hall Campus redevelopment, is now in limbo after the Save Boca movement gathered enough signatures to block it. Residents worry the plan would erode the charm of downtown and saddle taxpayers with unnecessary costs. This has come while Singer has seemingly ignored or even been visibly obstinate in the face of citizen concerns. Then there’s the Memorial Park controversy. Singer’s shifting statements about the park’s historical importance and its connection to local veterans angered many in the community, especially veterans’ groups. What could have been handled with sensitivity and respect instead became a self-inflicted wound, leaving many questioning the mayor’s understanding of local history. While Singer attacks New York Democratic Mayoral nominee Zorhan Mamdani for being too far left, nothing is further left in reality than denying the sacrifices of veterans and trying to eliminate a war memorial. Singer’s stand also reinforced a long-standing gripe of mine – and why I write books about Florida History and host a weekly podcast about our state’s history. This gripe is that our history here is irrelevant compared to that of
New York or Massachusetts or wherever else. The handling of the Memorial Park issue and Singer’s seeming indifference to it was about as galling as it gets and showed a callous disregard for the history of South Florida. In fact. Singer’s entire obsession with New York indicates he believes they are more important than us. Adding to the frustration is the revelation that City Hall spent around $80,000 on billboards and game-day advertisements in New York — a campaign meant to attract companies to relocate to Boca Raton. That money could have been spent right here at home: improving communication with residents, funding neighborhood projects, or addressing local infrastructure needs. Instead, it was spent marketing our city to people who don’t live here and many of whom who do not ever want to live here, while those who do feel increasingly left out of the conversation. All of this seems out-of-character on the surface because until the last six months, Singer appears to be a detail-focused technocrat who was above politics and hyperbole. Suddenly, sometime in early 2025 that all changed. The mayor’s current message seems clear: Boca Raton’s problems can wait, but New York’s headlines can’t. It might make for good television, but it doesn’t make for good leadership. If Singer’s goal is to be a shock jock host on Fox News or start a podcast, he’s on the right track. But if it is to actually facilitate a meaningful governance style here in Boca Raton, his last six months have been appealing. For all his talk about attracting business and talent, Mayor Singer appears to have lost sight of his most important audience — the people of Boca Raton. We don’t need a salesman in New York; we need a mayor who’s focused on the residents who elected him. If Scott Singer truly believes in leadership, he should start by leading at home. Before trying to save New Yorkers from their city, he might consider saving his own — from overdevelopment, eroding trust, and misplaced priorities.
Do They Think They Are Going To Govern Forever? As I watch this dismantling of government, this attitude of “break it now; we’ll fix it later”, the apparent loss of civic moral compass, I am left with one gnawing question. What happens next? The pendulum will ultimately swing. And, swing in a way we have not seen before. Not like it did towards Biden. The next answer to MAGA won’t be old, won’t be cautious, won’t be limited by a desire of the electorate to return to gentility, calm and serenity. The next swing will not stop close to the center. The next successful Democratic presidential candidate will be impelled to success by resistors. It will be as radical as this administration. Reality will set in. Too many current Trump supporters will feel the anguish and pain of reduced health care, the destruction of rural medicine, the squeeze of tariff fueled inflation. The bullseyes for these cruel policies have been painted on Red states. Many brains adorned with red hats will see the rich getting richer under Trump. The topic of “affordability” will extend beyond New York City. Income inequality will become a top-three issue. The next Democrat in power will not be “Minnesota Nice”. It will not be a weenie. It will be someone with a muscular liberal agenda and the balls to carry it out. Think Rohm Emmanuel, not Mayor Pete. Think Gavin Newsome, not Kamala Harris. Think Josh Shapiro, not Chris Murphy. Maybe start getting comfortable with even AOC or Mondani. Pay attention to what’s happening
www.bocaratontribune.com
in NYC. Trump will have left a legacy of destruction that will need months, or even years of fixing. Public servants, particularly at the Department of Justice, will need to be culled, and in some instances, their mendacity brought to justice. If I were them I would think right now about lawyering up. There is one part of Trump’s legacy that will remain. It’s a “stay-behind” booby trap that will bite the right wing in the ass for decades to come. And that is Trump’s moves to strengthen presidential power. The “Unitary President” movement is not limited to Republican leaders; it will equally apply to his successors. And, the courts have given permanence to these changes, much to the chagrin of the founding fathers. I don’t see a Democratic successor willingly retreating from this power. Not going to happen. Imagine AOC, with Bernie as her advisor, signing Executive Orders to ameliorate income inequality. Imagine Newsome, with Trump’s powers, making major moves to curb global warming. Imagine Emmanuel interpreting the Voting Rights Act to bring us back to a more inclusive Republic. This is the trap of Project 2025. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. And, I am optimistic once this goose has shot his wad, damaged enough institutions, wrecked enough symbols like the East Wing, stolen enough money, the pendulum will swing back with a vengeance.

Hundreds React to New Boca Fields and Proposed Surf Park By Marci Shatzman In what would have been a routine informational meeting by the owners of both properties, residents packed a theater venue and overflows at a Greater Boca Raton Beach & Park District meeting. The district already agreed with the city and planned to add four soccer fields and other amenities in the northwest corner of Sugar Sand as part of a proposed downtown government campus. There was no further discussion planned Monday evening. Boca Surf Park ranked first among nine proposals at the last district meeting, but no approvals to proceed were planned at this meeting, just more information on all four of the ranked proposals. “Don’t destroy something that can’t be replaced,” a mom with two young softball playing daughters said about Sugar Sand. Wearing Boca Girls Fast Pitch Softball t-shirts, other speakers agreed there was a need for more girls and youth fields. “The travel team has to go to Pembroke Pine to practice,” a dad coach said. “It’s hard Boca Raton residents showed up for kids to get playing time,” anothen masse to speak for and against two er added. ongoing issues…putting softball fields But applause also followed comin Sugar Sand Park, and building a surf ments against putting fields on 11 park with artificial waves in the new acres in Sugar Sand Park. “Please don’t public North Park. destroy the urban forest. Where will
all the animals go if you destroy their habitat?” one speaker said. Others mentioned gopher tortoises, and preserving green space and tree canopies. Several asked district commissioners to terminate the agreement with the city. Others noted both a city plan referendum and ‘no public land sale’ charter amendment vote are both on the March 10 Municipal Election ballot, and asked the district not to proceed. SaveBoca founder Jon Pearlman urged the district to wait until the March vote and find another site meanwhile. “No one contacted our community about this project. We don’t want more noise and traffic,” a resident who lives close by the proposed fields said. Proximity was the also a major issue from Boca Teeca residents who live in North Park. The district bought their 214-acre former golf course in February 2018 with plans to make it public golf. But the city was gifted the golf course in nearby Boca Raton Golf & Racquet Club, leaving the district to engage Miller Legg to come up a new plan. The district recently put out a call for proposals, and after hearing out nine, ranked Boca Surf Park first. https://bocasurfpark.com/ After commissioners brought up
environmental and other concerns, pro and con speakers lined up at a mic to be heard. “Think about the next generation and healthy outdoor activity,” a surf mom said to applause. Others called it “an amazing recreational space and a world-class aquatic venue” that would put Boca on the map. But Dr. Don Huber reminded commissioners the property came with a deed restriction that promised Boca Teeca residents the golf course would remain in perpetuity. The district is also considering a smaller golf proposal, “that has to a complement not compete” with the city, one commissioner noted. “This is the wrong location for it. This would be a nightmare,” another speaker said to applause. Most residents are older and want quiet, not activity, another said, adding “I’ve lived here 31 years.” Another called the surf park “a big monstrosity 100 feet from my backyard.” “Let’s get another location in the city so we can all be happy,” another speaker said. “It’s a great idea. What’s wrong is the location,” another agreed. With all the contention, the 26th and final surf park speaker Bruce Zalman said he was glad “speakers treated each with great dignity and respect.”
Leadership and Property Dispute Divides Crossbridge Baptist Church By Stacy Carchman As The Boca Raton Tribune reported on October 9, 2025, a legal dispute is unfolding within Crossbridge Baptist Church in west Boca Raton, where former pastor Rob Taylor is accused of unlawfully occupying church property following his reported termination. Crossbridge Bapt ist Church, formed through the merger of First Baptist Church and Boca Glades Baptist Church, filed a lawsuit in Palm Beach County Court (Case No. 502025CC014553XXXASB) alleging that Taylor continues to use or reside on church property at 10101 Judge Winikoff Road without authorization. The church seeks to regain control of the premises. Taylor has filed a motion to dismiss, invoking the Church Autonomy Doctrine, which limits courts from intervening in internal religious matters. He argues the dispute centers on church governance and must be resolved internally rather than through civil litigation. Taylor also challenges the authority of church representative Michael Barnard, who initiated the lawsuit. According to Taylor’s filing, Barnard was removed from his leadership role on July 29, 2025, by the church’s SteerOct 23 - Oct 30, 2025
ing Committee and lacked the legal authority to act on behalf of the church. Documents submitted with Taylor’s motion reference the church’s bylaws, which grant the Steering Committee the role of “arbitrators and mediators” for disputes during the first five years of the church merger. A September 13, 2025 letter from the Steering Committee to Barnard states
said he was dismissed despite a deacon vote to retain him. “The ministry was thriving, but Pastor Taylor viewed it as a threat,” Amaro said. He claims multiple deacons and committee members were also removed in violation of church bylaws. Former worsh ip pastor Ney Gomes says he was terminated after refusing to support efforts to oust Amaro. Longtime member Joe Budd, a former finance chairman and Steering Committee member, confirms he was among those removed.

Quantum Technology Gaining Momentum in Palm Beach County By Stacy Carchman
Quantum technology is gaining momentum in Palm Beach County. In October, the international conference Quantum Beach 2025 was held in downtown West Palm Beach, bringing together researchers, investors, startup founders, and university leaders from around the world. The event was co-hosted by Kelly Smallridge, president of the county’s Business Development Board, and the venture capital firm Quantum Coast
Capital. South Florida is increasingly being referred to as the “Quantum Coast”, attracting schools and businesses focused on training the next generation of leaders in quantum computing. What Is Quantum Technology and Computing? Quantum computing uses principles of quantum physics to solve complex problems much faster than traditional computers. Unlike conventional computers that rely on bits, quantum computers use qubits—subatomic particles that allow for vastly more powerful calculations. While still in its early stages, quantum technology has the potential to transform fields including drug discovery, climate modeling, logistics, national security, and financial services. Experts
say the technology is moving from research labs toward real-world applications, offering a promising future for both students and businesses. Local Schools Are Joining the Revolution Several institutions in the region are stepping into the quantum field. Palm Beach State College, Florida Atlantic University, and the University of Florida are all actively involved, and a new Vanderbilt University business school campus is coming to West Palm Beach. Palm Beach State College recently announced plans for an AI & Quantum Innovation Center in downtown West Palm Beach. The center will provide training in quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and robotics, preparing students for high-paying technology careers. The college is also partnering with
IBM Quantum to give students handson experience with cutting-edge tools. State Investment in Quantum Computing State leaders are supporting the local initiative. The Florida Opportunity Fund recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Quantum Coast Capital to co-invest in quantum technologies and attract research laboratories to Florida. The Future of Quantum Computing in Palm Beach County Officials say the key to success is attracting businesses to the county and connecting them with students interested in this emerging field. By combining workforce development with business investment, Palm Beach County aims to become a regional hub for quantum technology and innovation.
Boynton Beach Police Department to Host First-Ever ‘Trunk or Treat’ Event for Local Families The Boynton Beach Police Department (BBPD) is inviting families to a new community tradition this Halloween season: “Trunk or Treat with BBPD,” a free event where children can collect candy directly from decorated police vehicles and meet local first responders in a safe, festive environment. The event will take place on Wednesday, October 29, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at 2100 High Ridge Road, the department’s headquarters. Designed to strengthen ties between officers and residents, the event reflects BBPD’s growing commitment to community engagement and public safety during family celebrations. According to the department, the initiative offers “a safe and fun way for children to celebrate Halloween while meeting the officers who serve their community.” Community Engagement Through Celebration The “Trunk or Treat” event marks the first of its kind for the Boynton Beach Police Department. Visitors can expect an array of attractions, including themed police vehicles filled with candy, static displays from the SWAT Team, and appearances by the Crime Prevention Gaming Hummer and the Boynton Beach Fire
Rescue Department. Beyond the treats, the evening will include music, food trucks, a bounce house, a photo booth, and interactive exhibits designed to engage families with the department’s specialized units. Officers from the K9 Unit, Crime Scene Unit, Communications Division, Real Time Crime Center, Traffic Unit, and Road Patrol will all participate, giving residents a closer look at the inner workings of local law enforcement. “This event gives families the opportunity to interact with officers in a positive, relaxed setting,” said a BBPD spokesperson. “We want to make sure ev-
ery child in Boynton Beach has a safe way to enjoy Halloween — and to see that their police department is here to protect and support them.” Building Trust Beyond the Badge Community-based events like “Trunk or Treat” have become an essential part of modern policing strategies across the United States, particularly in cities that emphasize neighborhood engagement and transparency. In Boynton Beach, the initiative aligns with ongoing efforts to strengthen relationships between police officers and residents through education, outreach, and shared experiences.

directly with officers, the BBPD hopes to demystify police work and foster trust that extends beyond emergency calls. “When kids see police officers handing out candy and taking photos, it helps build confidence and a sense of belonging,” said one event volunteer. Looking Ahead: A Model for Future Community Events City officials say the success of this year’s “Trunk or Treat” could pave the way for similar community-building events in the future. The department plans to expand such initiatives to reach more neighborhoods, promote safety awareness, and encourage collaboration between residents and law enforcement agencies. Costumes are encouraged for all attendees, and local families are invited to join the BBPD for an evening that blends fun, safety, and civic connection — ensuring that Halloween in Boynton Beach is both memorable and meaningful.

New Parking Proposal in Delray Beach Raising Parking Costs By Stacy Carchman
Finding parking in Delray Beach has never been easy — and now, it’s becoming more costly. As of October 1, the city rolled out a new parking management plan that raises rates and converts several previously free garages and surface lots into paid parking zones. One bright spot is the city’s new $10 monthly parking permit program for downtown employees and business owners. The six-month pilot program allows registered vehicles with proof of employment to park at designated areas at a reduced rate. According to the city’s Public Works Department, new signage and updated mobile payment systems are also being introduced to make parking “more con-
sistent, user-friendly, and transparent.” Under the revised plan: Garage parking now costs about $1.50 per hour Surface lots are $2 per hour Street meters near Atlantic Avenue can reach $3 per hour during peak times Parking will now be enforced seven days a week, including Sundays, which were previously free. For many residents and visitors, the higher costs and limited availability have added frustration. But city officials say the changes are necessary to address Delray Beach’s rapid growth, improve parking turnover, reduce traffic congestion, and better manage limited public spaces.

EDUCATION The George Snow Scholarship Fund Celebrates High School Counselors as Scholarship Applications Approach
The George Snow Scholarship Fund (GSSF) hosted its 4th Annual High School Counselor Appreciation Breakfast this week to honor and celebrate the dedicated high school counselors of the School District of Palm Beach County. The event recognized the critical role counselors play in helping students pursue higher education and achieve their career goals. Counselors were treated to a morning of gratitude and inspiration, featuring remarks from Chief of Staff for the School District of Palm Beach County, Dr. Jolande Morgan, and Florida Atlantic University’s Assistant Vice President of Career Services, Brian Montalvo. Each shared their unique perspectives on the lasting impact our local Counselors make in our students’ lives. During the breakfast, the George Snow Scholarship Fund recognized two standout counseling departments for their exceptional contributions: John I. Leonard High School was awarded High School Counseling Department of the Year for the Large High School Division, and SouthTech Academy was awarded High School Counseling Department of the Year for the Small High School Division. Both schools have made a significant impact on their students’ lives by guiding them through the George Snow Scholarship Fund’s scholarship application process and
achieving remarkable success in securing scholarships. “I want to thank every Counselor for the life-changing work you do each day. Your guidance helps our local students overcome challenges and open doors to brighter futures” said Tim Snow, President of the George Snow Scholarship Fund. As GSSF looks ahead to awarding scholarships in Palm Beach County in 2026, Counselors will be at the heart of helping students access these transformative opportunities. Scholarship
Applications will be available starting Saturday, November 1st, 2025 until Sunday, February 1st, 2026 at Scholarship.org. Qualified applicants must be high school seniors with financial need attending a Palm Beach County– based high school. The George Snow Scholarship does not require a minimum GPA or test score, and recipients may pursue any major at an accredited college, university, technical, trade, or vocational school in the U.S. These are four-year scholarships — students do not need to reapply each year —
and all recipients gain access to GSSF’s wraparound Scholar Support Services. Throughout November and December, GSSF’s staff will visit local high schools to help seniors complete their scholarship applications. Students are encouraged to ask their school counseling departments how they can sign up for a GSSF Scholarship Presentation. The George Snow Scholarship Fund remains deeply grateful to the Counselors, educators, and partners whose dedication continues to open doors for students across South Florida. The George Snow Scholarship Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping deserving students in Palm Beach County and Broward County pursue their dreams of higher education. Since its inception in 1982, the Fund has provided thousands of scholarships to students who demonstrate financial need. The organization is committed to ensuring that no student is denied the opportunity to attend college due to financial constraints. In 2025, the George Snow Scholarship Fund awarded more than $5.5 million in scholarships and Scholar Support Services to 374 local students. In total, the Fund has awarded over $36 million in scholarships and scholar support services to 3,692 local students since 1982.
Rock the Night Away for Boca Schools By Marci Shatzman
Would you believe a hard rock concert right here in Boca, complete with screaming fans? Nobody sat still for the nearly three-hour Season 7 Battle of the Bands, the main fundraiser for Boca Chamber’s Golden Bell Education Foundation that gives grants to Boca’s public schools. Juan Awad, an executive Oct 23 - Oct 30, 2025
with Florida Blue, won biggest fundraiser at the finale and longtime Golden Bell chairman Chuck Stout and Chamber CEO Troy McLellan presented him with is own trophy. Four bands of Chamber and community amateur rockers took lessons from the School of Rock all summer and competed as tribute bands, dressing the part with real and faux tattoos. They played hard rock music by the likes of Led Zepplin and Nirvana. There was even a Kurt Cobain lookalike, wig and all. The audience was mostly band fans, so there were signs and lighted joy sticks in sponsor BRiC/ CP Group’s auditorium space Saturday night. The winning band was Wild Souls, with Yulimar Trumbo, Joe Santana, Yvonne Graber, Fern Conn, Susy
Boschetti and Jill Glanzer as band manager. Lead singer Trumbo, in real life the CEO of Hispanic Entrepreneurs Institute, confided she never wore red lipstick before or had leather in her wardrobe. That was her real hair, folks. See below for the other bands that all dazzled the judges, who heaped compliments on their performances. Judges included Crazy Uncle Mike’s owner Mike Goodwin; School of Rock’s Lindsey Mills; presenting sponsor Truist market president Jason Aube and pro musician and Pinecrest School rock director John Frasca. Chasity Navarro, who always puts this fundraiser together, reprised her singing chops with the a warmup band, that also included a School of Rock second band. Bryan Hunt, who manages Boca’s YMCA, was the emcee again.

And after the announcements Wolfhawk played. That dude on guitar is Lynn University president Kevin Ross. He must be the only college president who’s also a rock musician. “I don’t have any hobbies,” he confided. Here’s the other bands: Flirt with Fire: Kevin Cucci, Sharel Pizarro, Paola Morales, Michael Piccoli, Jeff Guggenhaim and the Wyndham’s Stephanie Hicks as band manager. Out of Office: Matthew Brennan, the Marriott’s Marta Rekosiewicz, Caroline Johnson, Tim Ferguson and Colleen Tuttle and manager Valentina Moretti. Only Bands: Wolfgang Liebertz, Emily DeJonge, Matt Williams, Cindee Conner, and Juan Awd, the top fundraiser. Debbie Levine was the band manager.

His affiliated political committee, Running with Andy Thomson, added another $109,600 this quarter, for a combined total of nearly $275,000 raised so far between both accounts.
