“Never give up,” superstar flutist Nestor Torres said in Ukrainian to inspire young talent in the 18th “Future Stars Performing Arts Competition” Sunday April 2 before nearly 2,000 friends and family in Mizner Park Amphitheater.

Torres guest performed two solos including “Over the Rainbow,” to close out the show after Billboard vocalist Kendra Erika, a hometown favorite and former “Future Stars” winner.

The Rotary Club of Boca Raton president and show co-chair Julie Vianale welcomed 12-year-old dancer Dominika Zinchenko with a blue and yellow bouquet.

Forced by the Russian attack to leave their home in Kyiv, Ukraine, the family arrived in Palm Beach County three weeks ago.

Dominika was among middle and high school singers and dancers in 28 acts who performed before judges to cheering sections.

Winners were: Middle school vocal: Isabella Nazzaro High school vocal: Jasmine Iacullo Group dance: Precision Dance Conservatory, three 10- and 11-year-old tap dancers Solo dance: Kylie Peitz Director’s Choice: Zachary Kopelman Each performer received a medal as a finalist for taking part in February’s auditions. Second- and third-place awards were also presented in each category.

Fresh off his Festival of the Arts concert, Torres continues to support talented youth when he agreed to perform in “Future Stars.”

“What a joy to be here and to see these youthful stars in this Renaissance,” Torres said in a preshow interview.

Proceeds from the event will help assist 27,000 people in the South Florida community through BHH’s various programs, including hunger relief, job training, healthcare, emergency financial assistance, childcare, and weekend meals for Palm Beach County school children. Event sponsors include JM Family Enterprises, Gary Peters Family Foundation, Tandy and Joe Robinson, Rochelle LeCavalier, and Peter and Susan Brockway.

Whether they win or not, “these artists are able to use their talent for the sake of others,” a message he shared with the students onstage.

Erika applauded a “significant resurgence of live performances” post Covid, and encouraged the students to continue sharing their talent on stage.

The Rotary Club of Boca Raton organizes this annual show in the tented and covered amphitheater, hosted by the City of Boca Raton with sound and lighting by AEG Live concerts. Dr. Dennis Frisch and Monica Speer were masters of ceremony.

Rotarians Bill Riddick and Bob Buruchian were show co-chairs and Chris Maners was digital backtrack engineer.

Judges were: Wayne LeGette, a leading man in regional professional theater productions, and two-time Carbonell Award winner and member of AEA and SAG-AFTRA. Alejandro Sanchez-Samper, a threetime Latin Grammy nominated producer and engineer and professor of commercial music at Florida Atlantic University.

Julia Langley, featured singer for Cirque du Soleil, director, and creator of “Performing for Success” to help performers, and her one-woman show. Recovering from a 2019 accident when her bicycle was hit by a car, she believes she was given a second chance to help others.

Led by Lynn University’s College of Communication and Design Dean Cesar Santalo and Associate Dean Michael Arsenault, students spent the past several months transforming blank walls outside Town Center Mall into a series of eyecatching murals with uplifting messages.

Four murals have been completed, each taking approximately 300 hours to complete.

FROM THE MAYOR’S DESK By: Mayor Scott Singer

How Hustle is Helping Us Bring Business to Boca Raton Last month, I updated residents on public safety, including our 30% drop in crime from already-low crime figures and our first-in-the-state enhanced safety regulations after the Surfside tragedy. Just as a safety attracts new investment, so does existing investment. But in order to thrive in a more competitive marketplace, it will continue to take hustle.

Boca Raton has long been distinguished from other cities by our thriving business climate, with most of the corporate headquarters in our county. Our strong economy is thriving. In the last 22 months, nearly 3,000 new businesses have started in Boca, bringing us back to our pre-pandemic levels in the range of 12,000. Boca Raton has been a hub of innovation from the advancement of radar in the 1940s on our Army Air Field through the invention of the IBM personal computer in 1980s to today. This tradition is finding new life in the BocaTech movement, with Boca’s many innovative companies and high-tech professionals leading the way. As one example, a spontaneous gathering of tech professionals attracted more than 100 people getting together to share ideas.

Last year, we were chosen as one of

eight cities nationwide to be part of the Innovation Track of the Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Institute. After months of work, a cross-departmental city team developed a plan to connect the many tech startup founders with funders. The goal is to help this tech talent grow and stay in Boca Raton. We look forward to implementing this plan to build on successes like FAU’s Research Park and Tech Runway and grow the critical mass of venture funding and tech innovators for a high-tech ecosystem.

We say “when you can work from anywhere, why not work from paradise?” and it’s true. But for CEOs and corporate site selectors unfamiliar with the beauty and bounty of Boca, we have to explain why our city’s paradise is better than other options. For some of them, it comes down to what their office looks like. We have the largest stock of Class A office buildings in the county, but a lot of it could use some updating. We can be encouraged by proposals for the first new office building in downtown Boca in years, as well as in other areas.

Not everyone is working from home, so that’s why transportation options and infrastructure are so important. In January, we had an exciting moment with the

groundbreaking for the new Brightline station in Downtown Boca Raton, which is scheduled to open later this year. More residents spoke at a city council in favor of this initiative than any other in the last decade.

The opportunity to be connected to a major transportation network, and to be one of one a handful of cities in South Florida as part of that network has untold benefits for our city.

This includes our centers of culture like our Amphitheater, Boca Raton Museum of Art, and the Mizner Park Cultural Center, along with businesses, shops, and restaurants beyond downtown. For our residents and especially commuting professionals, we’ll be able to hop on trains to Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, and West Palm, and eventually, Orlando and our businesses will now attract more talent for high-paying jobs for our cities, all while reducing emissions.

So many have called Brightline a gamechanger; one that will have lasting, positive impacts to bring visitors to our city. The initiative also adds a long-needed parking garage downtown, and thanks to our success in applying for a federal grant, and bipartisan Congressional support, our costs for the project were greatly reduced.

Brightline will be in Boca in large part because we pitched them. Three years ago, I made a strong case to Brightline executives that Boca Raton had the ridership they needed. After they showed interest, city staff worked hard and quickly to complete a lease and the planning for the area, so we could seal the deal. And that’s where I come back to hustle. Brightline’s CEO mentioned our city’s relentless pursuit and my increasingly frequent phone calls. And we needed the hustle and effort because other cities and counties put on a full-court press, including offering nearly one hundred million dollars in incentives to get their station.

In today’s market, our brand helps but it takes us only so far. That’s why we will continue to press to increase streamlining efforts, keep taxes low, and continue to our efforts to enhance our position as the economic engine of Palm Beach County.

You can see more on these and other hot topics by watching the video of the recent State of the City address at myboca. us/soc. Please email me at ssinger@myboca.us with any thoughts, and stay connected with me on social media @ScottSingerUSA on all platforms.

Be Thankful for Gifts and Giver!

Every gift should be received with a grateful heart, especially toward the giver who remembered us with the gift. Sadly, gratitude is becoming a neglected practice among many who might despise the gift received, or think it was their right to receive a much better gift!

Thanksgiving should never be ignored by anyone, for any gift received, be it great or small; be it something desired, or something totally unexpected, or one for which we can’t see an immediate use. Even when we receive a gift we may not particularly care for, gratitude should not be absent!

For every human, God is ultimately the April 15 - April 21, 2022

source of any good and perfect gift, and what He sends to His human creatures is something for their well-being. As I learned in my youth, and never forgot, “all things are needful that He sends; nothing is needful that He withholds.”

Indeed, the creator knows best what His human creatures require and He never fails to favor them with His unique benefits. In fact, humans are well-supplied by a gracious heavenly Father in all areas of life, even when many do not acknowledge that reality, and others prefer not to believe in a divine being Who truly cares and provides for them!

The act of thanksgiving should be a daily practice for every individual, for it is every day that human need is abundantly provided for by a watchful, loving creator.

As Americans we are favored with a special holiday each year, designated for us to pause and reflect on how blessed we are and have always been, regardless of difficulties and troublesome situations being confronted in our national life, besides in our individual experiences. Yet, our gaze should not be on what we may lack, but on what we possess in such great measure.

On this year’s Thanksgiving Day, let us again pause to thank our Divine Provider,

www.bocaratontribune.com

as we also render our thanks to His human agents who operate from various corners of society, and via manifold functions they fulfill for the benefit of so many, positively affecting human lives day after day.

Instead of depending on the government, let us more fully manifest our dependence on Almighty God since what He offers is certain, and truly sufficient.

To that end, let us always be grateful for what we already have, however small it might appear, so that greater gifts may be gradually granted to meet our every need of body, soul, and mind! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

ROBERT’S COMMUNITY REPORT

By: Rick Boxx

By: Robert Weinroth

A Spring Cleaning and Recycling Refresher for Palm Beach County The Solid Waste Authority is responsible for providing an economical and environmentally conscious Integrated Solid Waste Management System for Palm Beach County.

The SWA provides solid waste disposal and recycling services and programs to the county’s 1.5 million residents and businesses and also provides solid waste and recycling collection services to the residents and businesses in unincorporated Palm Beach County through private haulers.

The mission of the SWA is to manage the materials discarded by the residents and businesses of Palm Beach County in a manner consistent with its legislative mandate, applicable local, state and federal ordinances, regulations and laws.

The programs developed and implemented by the SWA are designed to integrate solid waste transportation, processing, recycling, resource recovery and disposal technologies, protect the environment, achieve the state’s 75 percent recycling and waste reduction goal and inform the public about solid waste management issues.

Recycling is supported by a continuing educational program to help residents understand how and what to recycle. Many well-meaning residents do not recycle effectively causing the recycle stream to be contaminated thus increasing costs to the county.

The SWA provides business with Waste Reviews so they can better manage their garbage and recyclables. Residents need to understand that unless the materials are properly separated, its value is diminished.

One simple behavioral change is to refrain from placing contaminated materials (e.g., pizza boxes) in with the recyclables.

It is also important to realize that materials placed at the curb (e.g. cardboard boxes) that have not been cut down to fit in the yellow bin will not be recycled.

Inasmuch as we convert waste to energy, it is better to place an item of questionable recycling value into the garbage – my philosophy is, “When in doubt, throw it out!”

The SWA Waste-to-Energy facility reduces the volume of waste disposed in the landfill while producing clean energy from household garbage.

According to the EPA, WTE plants are a “clean, reliable, renewable source of energy” that generate electricity “with less en-

vironmental impact than almost any other source of electricity.” In fact, WTE plants improve air quality by decreasing the consumption of fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas.

Additionally, the SWA uses landfill gas, which consists primarily of methane, as a renewable energy source to produce clean energy as an alternative to fossil fuels.

Even though hurricane season is months away, preparing now can help minimize property damage and make our communities safer. The Solid Waste Authority strongly encourages residents to implement a year-round yard maintenance program.

Major storms can leave behind incredible amounts of debris. For example, after Hurricane Irma, almost 3 million cubic yards of vegetative debris was collected. It took three months and cost more than $39 million to collect and dispose of it all. Minimize the potential for vegetative debris by starting your hurricane trimming now.

Save your shelf this spring by cleaning out home hazards from sheds, garages and under sinks! But remember that any cleaners, paints, pesticides and automotive products you may want to get rid of don’t belong in the regular trash or down storm drains where they can expose people, pets and our environment to harm.

Instead, Palm Beach County residents can dispose of their unwanted chemicals at any of the SWA’s seven Home Chemical and Recycling Center drop-off locations for FREE at: Delray Beach – West (SW County Transfer Station) 13400 S.

The Destructive Power of Jealousy Jealousy. One dictionary definition of this term is, “feeling resentment against someone because of that person’s rivalry, success, or advantage, or against another’s success or advantage itself…a jealous feeling, disposition, state, or mood.” Is this something you have experienced?

Envy is a close cousin to jealousy, defined as “an emotion which occurs when a person lacks another’s superior quality, achievement, or possession and either desires it or wishes that the other lacked it.” Can you see any benefit from being jealous or envious of another person? We would be hard-pressed to find one, but these feelings and attitudes are common in the marketplace.

Years ago, I struggled with jealousy. As I watched a peer’s organization flourish, I found myself envious of his rapid success.

Even though I tried to ignore them, questions like, “Why is his organization doing better than mine?” or, “What does he have to offer that I don’t?” would arise in my mind.

Such thinking is unproductive, I realized, and if left unchecked can become destructive.

So, after some soul searching and prayer, I asked God to forgive me. This was partly because, intended or not, I was feeling resentful toward the Lord for not giving me the same measures of success and achievement.

My prayers of repentance also prompted me to ask my peer for his forgiveness.

The result? I felt as if a tremendous weight had been lifted from me, and was freed to enjoy my own level of success without comparing it to my peer, or anyone else.

It enabled me to focus on the admonition of Ecclesiastes 9:10, “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might…,” without looking over my shoulder to see how any-

one else was doing.

In its typical candor, we find many examples of jealousy in the Bible, individuals becoming resentful toward a brother, friend or rival that seemed to be valued or blessed more than they were. In Genesis, for example, we read about Joseph’s brothers becoming jealous of their father’s favoritism toward him, so they sold him into slavery.

The Israelites wrestled with this in a major way. In Numbers 11 we read about Joshua, Moses’ aide, hearing and complaining about other leaders suddenly prophesying as only Moses had done previously. We find the Israelite leader’s response in Numbers 11:29, “But Moses replied, ‘Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the Lord’s people were prophets and that the Lord would put his Spirit on them!’”

The apostle Paul quickly defused an issue of jealousy and quarreling in the ancient church in Corinth by putting things in the right perspective: “…one says, ‘I follow Paul,’ and another, ‘I follow Apollos’…. [We are] only servants, through whom you came to believe – as the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow…. For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building” (1 Corinthians 3:4-9).

Both Moses and Paul knew jealousy was fruitless. It is God’s job alone to determine which talents and opportunities each person should receive. Our job is to focus on how we use what we have been given. If we are faithful to that, rather than comparing our success to others, we will have the peace and joy the Lord intends for us to experience in our everyday work responsibilities.

Six Earth Day Tweaks You Can Make to Your Shopping Habits (StatePoint) Earth Day, celebrated April 22, is a good time to consider making more sustainable tweaks to the way you shop.

With major companies leading the charge, it’s easier than you might think. For example, Amazon co-founded and became the first signatory to The Climate Pledge in 2019. Now, more than 300 companies have signed the Pledge and committed to reaching net-zero carbon by 2040, working together and taking bold steps to decarbonize their businesses and fight climate change.

As part of the Pledge, Amazon is working to reduce carbon emissions across its own operations, from adding 100,000 electric delivery vehicles to its global delivery fleet and investing in renewable energy, to inventing machine learning algorithms to arrive at the best possible packaging choices for deliveries.

Here are six tips to shop more sustainably for yourself: 1. Browse wisely: When browsing Amazon, you can now shop from a selection of more than 300,000 products from more than 20,000 fan-favorite brands such as Honest Company, Columbia and Burt’s Bees designated as “Climate Pledge Friendly.” This ensures these products have one or more of 39 certifications that help protect the natural world. A new private brand, Amazon Aware, now features thought-

fully-designed, affordable, everyday essentials across fashion, home and beauty made from materials such as recycled polyester, organic cotton, and bio-based ingredients with certifications from the Climate Pledge Friendly program specific to product type.

2. Learn more about small brands: Brands, entrepreneurs and startups are overcoming the challenges associated with launching new products. Amazon Launchpad, which provides businesses with support, is sharing unique stories from brands with more sustainable products, including South Korean vegan skincare line, Melixir, as well as GOODSAM, SHANTI BAR, and White Leaf Provisions at Amazon.com/

Launchpad-Earth-Day. 3. Reuse: Discover and buy refurbished products that have been professionally inspected and tested to work and look like new. At Amazon Renewed, you can find great prices on preowned smartphones, laptops, tablets, desktops, and cameras, across top brands. Products are backed by a 90-day Amazon Renewed Guarantee. You can also look for items offered by Amazon Warehouse to find quality pre-owned, used, and open-box items, all of which have passed a 20-point quality inspection and are backed by a 30-day return policy.

4. Donate: Shop at smile.amazon.com and AmazonSmile will donate a portion of your eli-

gible purchases to the charity of your choice at no extra cost to you. Participating organizations include a wide range of environmental charities.

Additionally, in celebration of Earth Month, U.S. customers can now say “Alexa, grow a tree” to donate $1 to plant one tree through One Tree Planted, an environmental charity that supports reforestation around the world.

5. Don’t trash it, trade it in: Did you know you can trade in certain devices, cell phones and video games for an Amazon gift card?

Through Amazon’s Trade-In program, the devices are either restored and re-sold, or recycled, ensuring a more sustainable way to dispose of devices.

6. Recycle: Learn how to recycle packaging in your community by visiting the Amazon Second Chance page at amazon.com/amsc. Additionally, when your orders arrive, find details of how to recycle and dispose of packaging by clicking on the “Returns & Orders” section of your account. The website also features information on how to trade in and recycle products, and how to find open-box and refurbished devices.

Your purchasing decisions matter and small steps can collectively make a difference.

More Drivers are Opting for Electric Vehicles, Here’s Why (StatePoint) If you think you’re seeing more electric vehicles (EVs) on the road, you’re not imagining it. From 2020 to 2021 alone, there was a 70% increase in registered EVs within the United States. Auto giants such as Ford and Chevrolet are quickly expanding their fleets of EVs, and with Congress passing historic EV legislation last fall, experts agree that this trend is only set to intensify.

With all the buzz surrounding the EV industry right now, one issue has surprisingly managed to persist: the problem of charging compatibility.

“The U.S. EV industry has been held back in the past due to limited charging options and a fragmented EV infrastructure,” says Christopher Maiwald, founder and CEO of Lectron, a leading manufacturer of EV charging solutions. “Recent moves by the federal government are aimed primarily at increasing charging availability.”

Indeed, the recent legislation is geared towards promoting EVs as a sustainable alternative to gas-powered cars. The massive $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill signed last November contains $7.5 billion earmarked to be spent on building out the nation’s EV charging network.

While the government hopes that greater charging availability will lessen range anxiety and boost driver confidence, it stops short of Plus

quelling compatibility concerns.

American AC charging infrastructure is currently divided between two types of charging standards: Tesla and J1772 (all other EVs), while the country’s DC charging infrastructure is divided even further: Tesla, CSS, and CHAdeMO. “The legislation is a step in the right direction, but it does little to address the issue of charger compatibility,” continues Maiwald.

Companies like Lectron are quickly coming up with ways of solving this problem. For

example, in an effort to help Tesla drivers access J1772 chargers, Lectron offers the J1772 to Tesla Adapter, which provides four to six times more charging options, and may prove vital to Tesla drivers in accessing the nation’s expanding J1772 charging network.

Likewise, since Tesla has already built over 15,000 publicly accessible charging stations nationwide, Lectron offers J1772 drivers the 48 Amp Tesla to J1772 Adapter, which is the only adapter on the market that supports 48 amps of maximum current and 250V of

www.bocaratontribune.com

maximum voltage — meaning wider charging access and faster charging times.

Another way the industry is handling the growing compatibility problem is through the wider use of portable chargers. Lectron’s 40 Amp Level 2 Charger, for example, provides fast Level 2 charging for EV drivers. So, no matter where they are, they always have a quick charging option available to them.

The final hurdle toward greater EV acceptance may not be related to public charging stations at all. Maiwald explains, “While ensuring public charging access is important, having a powerful home charging option is what will truly lead to widespread acceptance and make EVs the transportation of the future.”

The company is currently rolling out its most powerful in-home charging station yet — the Lectron V-BOX. It has a maximum of 48 amps of power and comes in three different versions: standard, smart, and bi-directional, with all three options slated for release later this year.

More information about the latest EV chargers and charging accessories can be found by visiting ev-lectron.com.

Thanks to expanded infrastructure and improved technology, EVs are becoming a more convenient and viable option for a growing number of drivers.

City of Boynton Beach Proclaims March 14th – 21st, Program Awareness Week

Former City of Boynton Beach Mayor Steven Grant has proclaimed March 14th21st#ProgramAwarenessWeek for Scholar Career Coaching (Scholar CC).

Scholar CC mentorship program identifies high-need and high-potential students in south Florida to help them put their best foot forward. We provide students opportunities to further their higher education and workforce development goals and

empower them with hands-on mentoring, coaching, and tutoring.

“It is an honor to receive such recognition. We have made great strides over the years, and I am excited about our growth,’ stated Lynne W. Gassant, Founder of Scholar Career Coaching. “I have witnessed many of our students excel despite their life circumstances. A moment like this serves as a reminder for us to keep pushing forward.”

New Class at The Palm Beach Institute for the Entertainment Arts On Saturday, May 21st, the Palm Beach Institute for the Entertainment (PBIEA) will be offering a unique police training workshop for actors and any interested individuals. The class will run from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.

Retired police officer Paul Schad will teach an intensive hands on police procedural course which will give actors an advantage when auditioning for law enforcement roles. Non-actors will expand their understanding of police work. Florida has always been and will always be a place where cop shows are the bread and butter for actors. From Miami Vice to Burn Notice, The Glades, CSI:Miami, Dexter, Ballers and Rosewood among many others, Florida is diverse in terms of geography, economy and demographics, making it a onestop fits all location. There is always “something” interesting happening in our big cities and small outlying areas.

Paul Schad has almost 30 years’ experience as a law enforcement officer. He

worked for the NYPD and the Broward Sheriff ’s Office, where he was a detective.

He is an actor and a Police Technical Advisor for film and literature. Paul has taught this intensive 3-hour POLICE ACADEMY FOR ACTORS (and others) workshop in New York, Florida, Texas and Georgia.

This class informs attendees on the how and why of basic police tactics and movements. They learn the skills and gain the confidence needed to audition and act effectively in law enforcement roles. Attendees will become familiar with various police equipment (ballistic vests, duty belts, etc.) so they are confident in handling and using them properly. This is not a martial arts class so there will be no throwing or striking. Attendees will, however, learn how and why police are trained to have a command presence… training which allows them to be ready to defend against attack, To accomplish this, attendees will practice by doing some non-contact “air” strikes and kicks.

Boca Raton Teen Philanthropists Awarded More Than $10,000 Palm Beach County-Philanthropy Tank Philanthropist Investors awarded a total of $51,000 to five local teen group finalists at this year’s Finals Event on April 11th.

The nonprofit challenges, empowers, and equips the next generation of CHANGEmakers to develop and execute sustainable initiatives and solutions to solve problems in their communities.

GNOME, a program founded by a team of FAU High School students, received $10,500. The students leading GNOME will also be mentored by Frances Fisher, Chairman of the Board and Founding Chairman of the Gardens Conservancy at the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens. 14 local teens make up the five group finalists. Each group took turns presenting their programs at Palm Beach Dramaworks in front of four Philanthropist Investors, Aisha Ali, Caroline Cummings Rafferty, Frances Fisher, and Tom Vining. These local philanthropists and entrepreneurs decided the amount of funding to invest in each program. They also chose a group to mentor to help the students execute their initiatives and increase their ability to make meaningful change.

All finalists will now spend the next few months getting their programs up and running, or expanding what they already have in place.

This year’s five Finalists and amounts awarded include: · Growing Native Oases Made for Engagement (GNOME): Mallory Thomas (11th Boca Raton), Alyssa Jiggetts (11th Coconut Creek), Anna Jarvis (11th Boca Raton), and Elise Siegel (12th Highland Beach) from FAU High School – GNOME was conceived from the idea that being mindful about nature and giving back to the community can benefit anyone who participates. GNOME will create community butterfly gardens in underserved communities in Palm Beach County, and eventually expand to more public locations. The project will also hold educational panels to raise awareness about environmental issues in Palm Beach County through hosting gardening lessons, and events.Awarded: $10,500/ Mentor: Frances Fisher · Green Garments: Amelia Williams (11th Delray Beach) from Alexander W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts – Green Garments will inform Palm Beach County students about alternatives to their current clothing purchase and use patterns, which are harmful to the environment, and waste energy and natural resources. The project will raise awareness of eco-friendly alternatives, and focus upon the recycling, reuse, repair, repurposing, and reselling of Community

Dreyfoos School of the ArtsBridging the Gap plans to work with elementary and middle schools in Palm Beach County to provide school supplies to underprivileged schools. “We hope to bridge the education inequality gap through our program in which we not only tutor students at these schools but, with funding, will be able to provide them with the supplies to truly succeed in their educational environment.”Awarded: $10,000/ Mentor: Aisha Ali · Drop the Vape: Tessie Goron (10th Wellington) from Wellington High School – Drop the Vape is a program that aims to decrease the number of teen vape users in Palm Beach County by establishing a new educational course for students caught with vape devices at school, offering a text-to-quit program for students hoping to stop vaping, and advocating for an increase in the proximity between vape shops and schools. Awarded: $9000/ Mentor: Tom Vining · Sharing the Arts: Shreya Srinivasan (12th Wellington), Alyssa Jean Louis (12th Royal Palm Beach), Ave Goorbarry (11th Lake Worth), and Nathan Goldin (10th Jupiter) from Alexander W.

Awarded: $11,000/ Mentor: Caroline Cummings Rafferty Philanthropy Tank received hundreds of applications from students between 8th and 12th grade from across Palm Beach County. The application requires students to submit a philanthropic idea that directly addresses issues in their community. To date, Philanthropy Tank student-led programs in Palm Beach County and Baltimore have impacted more than 300,000 lives; more than 1000 students have participated in the student programs; and more than $700,000 in grant money has been awarded to nearly 70 student-led projects. This is Philanthropy Tank’s 7th year operating this unique program in Palm Beach County. The locally grown success has resulted into expansion for the nonprofit into Baltimore, Maryland, now in its second year.

Philanthropy Tank plans on continuing expansion in the near future. www.philanthropytank.org April 15 - April 21, 2022

Sailfish Lose Extra Innings Battle Against Lynn

The Palm Beach Atlantic baseball team took on Lynn University at the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches earlier tonight. The Sailfish lost 6-5 in a grueling 13 inning game.

The Fighting Knights jumped out to an early lead in the first inning, scoring two runs off of a two-RBI double. Blake Ebo’s solo home run in the second inning and an RBI single from Sean Houck in the third tied the game up for the Sailfish.

PBA would take the lead in the sixth inning after Nate Housen scored off of a Lynn error and get would one more run in the top of the seventh. The momentum seemed to be in the favor of the Sailfish,

but Lynn swung the game in their favor by scoring three runs of their own in the bottom of the seventh. The ‘Fish would come up clutch in the ninth inning after a costly Lynn error brought Jiovel Lantigua in to score.

Solid defense from the Sailfish would push the game into extra innings. The game was tightly contested late, with neither team giving an inch. Finally, in the 13th inning, the Fighting Knights would load the bases and earn the win in walk-off fashion.

PBA will play again on Thursday, Apr. 14 in a home series against Nova Southeastern University.

Owls’ Upset Bid Falls Short Against No. 2 Miami The Florida Atlantic University baseball team (21-13) nearly upset No. 2 Miami (27-6) on Tuesday before a late-inning rally denied the effort. The Owls fell by a final of 7-6.

The Owls jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning despite just one hit. A walk, a hit by pitch, and an error helped the cause.

The Hurricanes responded in the second with two of their own to tie the game.

FAU took the lead again with four runs in the sixth inning. RBI singles from Jackson Ross and Gabriel Rincones, Jr. paired with two more Miami errors led to a 6-2 Owls lead.

The Hurricanes would chip away and,

FAU Athletics Establishes Coach Joan Joyce Memorial Fund

entering the bottom of the eighth, it was 6-4. With two outs and one on, things went sideways for the Owls. After a walk, an RBI single, and a balk, Miami tied the game on a wild pitch. Jacob Burke then hit a slow chopper to third and was called safe on a close play at first base. After a replay review, he was confirmed safe, scoring the go-ahead run from third.

FAU had the heart of the order due up in the top of the ninth, but Canes’ closer Andrew Walters struck out the side to complete the comeback.

The Owls are back home on Thursday to start a C-USA series with Western Kentucky. First pitch is 6:30 pm.

This past March, FAU Athletics, the Florida Atlantic community and the sports world were saddened to learn of the passing of longtime FAU head coach and legendary sports figure Joan Joyce.

Joyce passed away at the age of 81 on March 26, 2022. She was a legend in the sporting world and a trailblazer for women’s athletics. Joyce was FAU’s first head coach and led the Owls for 28 years from 1995 until 2022. She amassed a career record of 1,002-674-1 and recently became the 27th coach in NCAA Division I history to join the 1,000-win club.

FAU Athletics has established the Coach Joan Joyce Memorial Fund to honor all that Joyce has accomplished over her astonishing career.

Joyce built the Owls’ program from the ground up and wasted no time in making FAU a contender. In year one, FAU went 33-18, resulting in Joyce receiving Atlantic Sun Conference and Palm Beach County Coach of the Year honors.

Shortly thereafter, FAU began a run of dominance in the A-SUN, capturing eight-con-

THE BEST STEAKS TASTE

secutive conference championships from 19972004, as well as making eight-straight NCAA Tournament appearances. Under Joyce’s tutelage, FAU has won 12 conference championships and made 11 total NCAA Tournament appearances. Joyce has won eight coach of the year honors during her established career.

Among her numerous athletic accomplishments, including 20 hall of fame inductions, All-America recognitions in multiple sports, Softball World Series Championships, striking out two of the greatest hitters of all time (Ted Williams and Hank Aaron) and inclusion in the Guinness Book of World Records, Joyce’s ability to relate and teach the sports she loved is her greatest impact.
