In other news at the budget workshop, Mack discussed doing a feasibility study for a pedestrian bridge over Federal Highway to link senior center activities at the historic Boynton Beach Woman’s Club and a parking area on the west side of Federal. The state Department of Transportation would have to approve the bridge because Federal Highway is controlled by the state, he said. Mack said if the state approves it, the pedestrian bridge would help solve the parking problems at the Woman’s Club, which the city’s Community Redevelopment Agency owns.

In the June 26 budget workshop, Stumpf told the commissioners that the proposed budget was $5.5 million, which is $319,797 more than the previous year. Most of the increase comes from the police pension plan, additional police positions and other upgrades. The commissioners discussed paying for the overage from reserves or increasing the tax rate. After the June meeting, Waters said, “I’d like for us not to raise the millage rate.” It was a unanimous decision during the commission’s July 15 meeting to not use the reserves, or unassigned fund balance. “We discussed it at the last meeting,” Stumpf said. “The commissioners did not want to use the unassigned fund balance. They wanted to use the millage rate and keep the millage rate down.” Based on last year’s millage rate of $3.03, the town’s share of taxes on a $1 million house would increase from $3,030 to $3,141.

Ú August 2019 The COASTAL STAR News 11 Along the Coast Nest numbers a cause for optimism among turtle monitors By Larry Keller

As surely as the sun rises in the east, David Anderson and others from Gumbo Limbo Nature Center are on the beach, excavating and cataloguing data as carefully as archaeologists. They’re searching not for fossils, but the nests of sea turtles — resilient reptiles that have been around since the time of dinosaurs. “We’re having a great year for nesting,” Anderson, Gumbo Limbo’s sea turtle conservation coordinator, said at Red Reef Park recently as the sun poked up from the ocean. Even a historic year. By late July, a record number of green turtle nests already had been found on Boca Raton beaches this season, surpassing the previous high of 331 in 2013. Green turtles nest on area beaches from June to September. They nest in greater numbers every other year, but that alone doesn’t explain the record high. The highest number of loggerhead nests recorded by the center on the five miles of beach it patrols was 1,075 in 1990. This year, 880 nests had been discovered as of late July.

Ú 18 Meet Your Neighbor The COASTAL STAR August 2019 10 Questions MEET YOUR NEIGHBOR: Suzanne Boyd uzanne Boyd seemed to be living a dream life. She spent 20 years as an award- Swinning journalist for CBS12 in West Palm Beach and was the co-anchor of the station’s morning show. She was one of the most recognizable TV personalities in the area. But something was missing — quality time with her two children, daughter Laine, 13, and son Trace, 9. She was fed up with going to bed at 6:30 p.m., working the morning show and getting home after the kids had already gone to school. So, she did something about her lifestyle. She retired from the news business in September 2018. Now she has time for her children and more time for herself. “I can go to bed with them,” she said, “wake up with them, go to their school events. We can go away and work remotely.” After a few months of experiencing retirement, Boyd finds that she is as busy as ever. She has just rearranged her schedule. She formed Suzanne Boyd Productions and has created, with former CBS12 anchor Eric Roby, a morning digital talk show called Rise+Live with Roby and Suze. She produces a digital livestream show with psychotherapist Shannon Thompson Jones called What Suzanne Boyd and her dog Sophia, a Chihuahua whippet mix, sit in the Gulf Stream home in which Boyd raises two children.

Fifteen-year-old Cori “Coco” Gauff of Delray Beach made international headlines when she became the youngest woman in the modern era to qualify for the main draw at Wimbledon — and reached the fourth round, becoming the youngest to achieve that feat since Jennifer Capriati in 1991. Gauff wasn't the only southern Palm Beach County athlete to enjoy remarkable success this summer. Professional golfer Gary Woodland, who moved to coastal Delray Beach three years ago, also made a splash when he earned the first major victory of his career at the U.S. Open in Woodland mid-June at Pebble Beach.

Used as a starter in nine of his 11 appearances as a freshman, Eder struggled, compiling a 1-4 record and 5.45 earned-run average. “I kind of went through some stuff,” Eder said. “The first year in the SEC is kind of a learning curve.” Coach Tim Corbin moved him to the bullpen to start this past season, first as a closer, then a middle reliever and finally what he termed “kind of an end-of-the-game type pitcher.” “He really grew over the course of the season,” said Corbin, who was named National Coach of the Year after the season. “This is a kid who really, really loves pitching. It’s all he thinks about, it’s all he does. He’s got a bright future just because of his passion for what he does, and how he goes about it.” Eder’s numbers improved dramatically across the board, notably in ERA, where he improved to 2.97, and in strikeouts-to-walks ratio, which improved from 37-22 to 35-15. “We had a closer per se, but he was kind of that next guy,” Corbin said. “One of (our) top ABOVE: Jake Eder grips a guys out of the bullpen.

The movie poster is a metaphor in design, albeit with a specific purpose: A kind of Coming Attractions on paper. Coming Soon, the new show at the Norton (it runs through Oct. 19), is a marvelous view of design as metaphor. Some 215 movie posters from the U.S. and other countries have been curated from the 3,000-plus collection of Dwight Cleveland by Matthew Bird of the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and Norton Assistant Curator J. Rachel Gustafson. The work represents a capsule history of the form, both style and technique extending from hand-colored glass slides for silent movies to stone-inscribed lithograph, painting and hand-stenciling to the current photo offset. It is a wonderful show.
