School safety is something that has been widely discussed across the country since the Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and the City of Boca Raton’s Community Advisory Panel has joined in to hear from local students. The CAP typically holds meetings and forums to listen to residents regarding issues in the Boca Raton community. They recently sat down with about 50 students from various Boca Raton middle and high schools for a roundtable discussion at the downtown library, where students voiced their concerns and ideas on how to move forward.

“Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.” John 12:23-25

COMMUNITY Community Advisory Panel Discusses School Safety with Local Students

By: Michael Demyan School safety is something that has been widely discussed across the country since the Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and the City of Boca Raton’s Community Advisory Panel has joined in to hear from local students. The CAP typically holds meetings and forums to listen to residents regarding issues in the Boca Raton community. They recently sat down with about 50 students from various Boca Raton middle and high schools for a roundtable discussion at the downtown library, where students voiced their concerns and ideas on how to move forward. “The idea was to let the students talk and share their concerns, ideas and solutions about school safety,” CAP Chairman Eric Gooden said. “Adults have done a lot of talking, and our city council wanted to hear from the students. They are residents of the city and should have their voices heard.” Students involved came from Boca Raton High, Spanish River High, Boca Raton Middle, Omni Middle and Don Estridge Middle. Each school sent around 10 student government represen-

tatives. The students all divided up into groups with multiple members of the advisory panel and spent time giving their thoughts and having a discussion, while the panel jotted down what was said. After they spent time talking, they went around the room as each table gave a summary of what was discussed. Andy Thomson, who is both a member of the CAP and Boca Raton’s Education Task Force, was one of the panel members in attendance. He spent his time talking to students from Boca Raton High School. “We talked about the infrastructural security. How do you get onto campus, weaknesses on campus, what can be improved,” he said. “We also talked about the softer side of school security, which is the mental health side of things and how even if you have the most precautions in the world to keep somebody out of campus who’s not supposed to be there, there’s still going to be thousands of kids in the school that are supposed to be there and some or many of them could be dealing with mental health issues that could pose a danger.” A summary of major points of the roundtable will be prepared to be presented to the Boca Raton City Council at a future meeting. “The students were engaged, articulate and thoughtful in their discussions, and had some great ideas for solutions,” Vice-Chair Jon Carter said. “I think this format really gave them a voice and we hope they felt empowered and heard.” Heizer Media Group

FAU Graduate Leading The Way For Women In Tech

Océane Boulais, a self-described “theater geek,” took one engineering class during her freshman year at FAU just to tell her parents she had tried it. With every intention of pursuing a theater degree, she did not expect that the engineering class would leave her feeling as fulfilled as it did. Fast forward a couple of years later to when tech companies sought out this young woman as she completed internships with NBC Universal and Facebook. And now, on Thursday, May 3 at 1 p.m., she will graduate cum laude with her bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering. Boulais, 23, first navigated the engineering world through several student organizations, including the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) FAU chapter, the Engineering Student Council, and Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society. As a founding member of the IEEE Power and Energy Society at FAU and the IEEE Region 3 student representative for three years, she assisted in planning and organizing the annual IEEE Southeast Conference. “Getting involved and taking on leadership roles was vital to me,” she said. “I was able to secure internships with a variety of institutions and companies because of the networking I did at conferences and events.” In 2015, Boulais served as a research fellow in the Pratt School of Electrical Engineering at Duke University where she optimized organic solar cells. In 2016, she completed an internship with NBC Universal where she created tools for other developers to use to track code. Her final internship was this past summer with Facebook, where she served as a manufacturing hardware engineering intern. “I basically built a device to analyze the power circuitry onboard Facebook data servers,” she said. “My

prototype will tell you the life cycle of the server.” Despite choosing a technical career path, Boulais is still passionate about the arts. In 2015, she gave a TEDx talk about the importance of art in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education, also known as STEAM. She also is a mentor for Girls Who Code, a nonprofit organization that encourages and supports young women interested in STEAM education and careers. “There has never been a better time to be a girl in tech,” she said. Maria Petrie, Ph.D., a professor in FAU’s Department of Computer and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, is inspired by Boulais’ passion for wanting to make the world a better place. “She is an academic adventurer, eager to explore new topics not covered in the curriculum and always seeking experiences that make her grow as a human being and as a leader,” Petrie said. “It’s exciting for me to see what she has accomplished and how many other students she has challenged to excel and seek extraordinary opportunities.” In 2016, the FAU Alumni Association recognized Boulais with the FAU Talon Award, given to outstanding leaders in the University community. She also recently received the Faculty Award for Outstanding Leadership from the College of Engineering and Computer Science. Following her graduation from FAU, Boulais will attend graduate school at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where she will conduct research with the Viral Communications group at the MIT Media Lab. “I’ve learned that there are opportunities everywhere, even if you have to build your own door to get there,” she said, “I love that FAU was a blank canvas, and I was able to create my own path.”

Gov. Rick Scott suspends Mayor Susan Haynie, Scott Singer Serve as Mayor Amid criminal charges of official misconduct and corrupt misuse of her office, Boca Raton Mayor Susan Haynie has been suspended from office by Gov. Rick Scott on Friday afternoon via an Executive Order. In accordance with the City Charter, Deputy Mayor Scott Singer will serve as Mayor of the City of Boca Raton. Haynie failed to disclose income that she and her husband earned while she was in office, including payments from Jim Batmassian’s company, Investment Limited, according to a probable cause affidavit. The affidavit continues to state that the investigation revealed that the association at Tivoli Park, a condominium owned by Batmasian, hired Community Reliance LLC, a company owned by Niel and Susan Haynie, and paid the company at least $12,000 per year to manage the property. Haynie

told ethics investigators in a sworn statement that her husband had not been paid, but Batmasian’s wife, Marta, claimed that he had. The affidavit also states the Mayor voted favorably on issues that would benefit developer James Batmasian through his Investment Limited firm. The report also states she failed to disclose income received from Investment Limited while conducting business through Community Reliance. Haynie’s attorney, Leonard Feuer stated last night his client is innocent with a release to the press: “Mrs. Haynie wholeheartedly and completely denies the allegations which we plan to fight in court to the fullest extent.” “It is in the best interests of the residents of the City of Boca Raton, and the citizens of the State of Florida, that Susan Ince Haynie be immediately suspended from the public office, which she now holds, upon the grounds set forth in this executive order,” Scott’s order read. Haynie is scheduled for an arraignment hearing on May 24 in Palm Beach County Circuit Court.

EDITORIAL By C. Ron Allen

BocaLead: A Great Chance to Network, Fellowship, Share, be Encouraged Given the latest buzz around town these days, I had penned my column this week on ethical leadership. But after having lunch at Boca Raton Community Church on Thursday, I opted to shelve the piece – at least for a week or so. Each month, on the first Thursday, more than 400 business men and women – young and old – meet in the church’s fellowship hall for lunch. But this is not your typical luncheon. At BocaLead, as the forum is aptly called, Pastor Bill Mitchell teaches how to apply biblical principles in our workplaces. Mitchell has tackled topics such as “Focus on the Future,” “Lead by Example,” and “The Heart of a Leader.” Attendees are given pens and handouts for notetaking. Most of us leave with a few principles to help nurture and rejuvenate our professional and spiritual lives. While lots of networking take place at BocaLead, this is not a Christian yellow pages or a Christian networking. There are no sales pitches. In fact, the

program is sponsored through the many businesses that buy tables for $85 and invite guests or their employees and individuals who pay the $12 cover. The monthly staple has been sold out several times this year. It has also been duplicated in Broward County. LauderdaleLead began last September at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church. Not bad for a program that began in 2013 as a four-month trial program for 25 fellow business leaders to help them raise the bar of ethical leadership in the city through mentoring. A businessman for 25 years, Mitchell has a knack for simplifying the bible so that even a heathen will find it encouraging and unobtrusive. His presentations are nothing like his Sunday messages. Local businessman John Barber serves as the master of ceremonies and kicks off each session. Mitchell works hard to ensure each presentation is relevant to our daily living and often infuses props to convey his points. A classic example was Thursday

when he delved into a topic that was so appropriate – How to lead when you are not the boss. He told how a Chick-fil-A franchisee in Georgia went beyond the company’s grain and sold milkshakes, which ultimately was adopted companywide. For several years the management of the fast food chain was against selling milkshakes because they could not make it in the required time to maintain their reputation of preparing food in a specified time. Unbeknownst to corporate executives, an out-of-the-box thinking franchise owner bought ice cream, all the other milkshake ingredients and a machine. He did the unimaginable and before long, customers were bypassing Chick-fil-A stores to go to his store to buy their milkshakes. When corporate execs got word of the franchise’s business practice, the senior vice president of operations paid him a visit. The franchise owner challenged the executive to make two drinks in a faster time than he would make his

milkshake and the vice president lost. Thus started the practice of the company selling shakes. The moral of Mitchell’s story was that great leaders challenge up with the best motives, they are keenly aware of what the boss is most interested in, they know what is core and what is peripheral and they challenge quietly but they are not silent. To the surprise of many and in Mitchell’s creative spirit, as he wrapped up his presentation the staff brought out enough milkshakes for several high school students who were in attendance. He also announced that the adults could redeem their handouts at the Chick-fil-A in the Towne Center Mall for a vanilla or chocolate shake throughout the month of May. I am not surprised by the generosity of operator Paul Kiedis and his team. They are very supportive of community events and epitomize the philanthropic spirit of founder Truett Cathy’s dedication to making a difference in the lives of youth.

POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Make Finishing Well Your Aim! When you come to the end of your earthly journey, what monuments shall you leave behind to impact others? How many altars shall you have erected to celebrate your own fruitfulness in your lifetime? Will you have real fruit to show or only leaves to display? These questions are raised because all human creatures are placed on earth for a variety of reasons, with each individual wired uniquely to fulfill specific purposes. To that end, three actions are expected of everyone: to make decisions, to make progress, and to make a difference. Any individual is capable of doing all three. Obviously, this is not what appears in the report card at the conclusion of a person’s earthly pilgrimage. Many people may go

May 4 - May 10, 2018

through life in its entirety without being able to make any meaningful decision, and though several attempt it, some often do it wrongly. Quite a few are incapable of advancing in any direction, about anything. Moreover, making a difference is something which not many consider, and fewer yet make it real. All humans are called upon to travel the path assigned to each. But since humans are social creatures, their paths always intersect with those of others, so that experiences may be shared, examples may be emulated, and mutual encouragement exchanged. Any activity for which proper planning occurs at every step of the way has every reason to succeed. Yet, any period of glory

is not guaranteed to be maintained indefinitely; past achievements are not necessarily today’s reality, much less tomorrow’s performance. One needs to make decisive provisions for the continuing success of an enterprise, since one may be taken away from its production and command at any time. Many stop at peak performance and, then, reach a plateau from which a decline can easily emerge. In my lifetime I have repeatedly observed how many individuals quickly descended from hero to zero; they lacked staying power, many were devoid of a moral compass, with several also destitute of common sense, people skills, and the additional resources which can ensure victory

at the finishing line. Throughout life, gains do not necessarily define you, just as losses should not diminish anyone. The essential factor is to know who you are, with all the assets and limitations which every individual possesses; to recognize barriers not as the end of the line, but merely as signposts to better things still ahead if you proceed amidst all challenges! Plan to finish well, for anyone can. Just follow this sound advice I once read: “Do the very best you can with what you have, where you are now!” God will do the rest and ensure triumph at last!

Boca Raton Man Overcomes Coma FAU and Max Planck Team Up On and Earns Degree at Palm Beach First Joint Position State College

When Alexis Vazquez walks across the stage May 9 to accept his Associate in Arts degree from Palm Beach State College, every step will be among the proudest he’s taken since rebounding from a traumatic accident that left him in a coma for three months. “I’m so excited. I cannot wait,” said Vazquez, 31, of Boca Raton, who is among PBSC’s more than 3,200 graduates who will receive degrees and certificates during two commencement ceremonies at the South Florida Fair Expo Center. He will participate in the second ceremony at 2 p.m. for graduates completing the A.A. transfer degree. Vazquez and his then-girlfriend both suffered critical injuries after a car struck them Aug. 16, 2007 as they crossed A1A in Boca Raton on the way back from dinner at the beach. Before the accident, Vazquez had applied to PBSC and was pondering his future. “It delayed my entire life,’’ he said. “Once I woke up from the coma, I had to relearn to do everything like I was an infant, and I was 21 when I woke up. I wasn’t able to walk, talk or eat. I wasn’t able to do anything on my own.” After about two years of treatment locally and at the Shepard Center in Atlanta, as well as extensive physical and speech therapy, he began to improve. He started talking, walking and then driving again. He enrolled in Palm Beach State College in 2009 after he said a neuropsychological test determined that he had the capacity to learn but he could not overwhelm himself. “I had to take one or two classes at a time, which is why it took a little longer than normal to get all of this education done,’’ he said. “At the end of the day, the diploma doesn’t say how long it took to earn a degree, it says degree earned. And, when you earn it, you really do earn it. It doesn’t matter if you’re going baby steps. Just don’t quit.” Vazquez, citing research, said many victims of traumatic brain injuries

die within the first year. “I survived. I passed the one-year mark. Once I passed that, I said, ‘OK.’ I pushed. I pushed. Thank God, I pushed,’’ he said. “My focus was on recovery and walking. I needed to drive. Once I started driving, I wanted to go back to school. God is so good,’’ he continued. “After you live through something so traumatic, the appreciation of just the daily things becomes enormous. When I couldn’t walk, I would do anything to walk. Now that I can walk, I do anything for anybody so I can walk. I don’t need assisted devices for anything. I’m medically independent. I’m working. I’m driving. Thank God.” For about five years, Vazquez has been working as a full-time paraprofessional at Boca Raton Community High School, where he graduated in 2006. He assists special needs children and provides other support at the school. He said his faith and his support system helped him on his road to recovery. “If it wasn’t for my support system, I don’t know how any of this would be possible. You need constant support. I had the support of my church (Calvary Chapel), my family, the city of Boca Raton and the most amazing mentors,’’ he said. Vazquez often speaks to PBSC classes, encouraging students to stay focused on their goals despite obstacles. He also supports and has spoken to groups on behalf of Dori Saves Lives, a nonprofit organization dedicated to traffic safety and named in honor of former state Rep. Irv Slosberg’s daughter who was killed in a car crash near Boca Raton in 1996. “I feel like it’s my turn to give back,’’ he said. Vazquez was accepted into Florida Atlantic University where he will pursue his bachelor’s degree in communication/mass media studies. He said his goal is to continue speaking to groups and perhaps make a movie or write a book. “The world is endless possibilities,’’ he said.

Florida Atlantic University and Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience (MPFI) have combined forces to form the first jointly supported position between the two institutions. As of May 1, Ken Dawson-Scully, Ph.D., will be newly appointed to the role of associate vice president for strategic initiatives and head of institutional partnerships for FAU and MPFI. Joining FAU in 2008, Dawson-Scully served as associate director of the FAU Brain Institute and most recently as an associate professor of biological sciences and associate dean for graduate studies in FAU’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Science. “For almost a decade, the close and synergistic partnership between Florida Atlantic University and Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience has been undeniably beneficial for our institutions and Palm Beach County,” said FAU President John Kelly. “This latest initiative will foster tremendous returns on our co-investment for educational and research opportunities, economic development, as well as faculty and student recruitment. Together, we will continue to strengthen our thriving alliance; enhancing recognition and visibility both locally and globally.” In this joint FAU/MPFI position, Dawson-Scully will work closely with the executive leadership team of both institutions under the direction of Matthias Haury, Ph.D., MPFI’s COO and Jeff Atwater, FAU’s vice president for strategic initiatives and CFO. “We are excited to further reinforce the flourishing relationship with our partners at Florida Atlantic University. Our joint efforts will continue to facilitate unique collaborative opportunities between our institutions and inspire a vibrant, creative space where groundbreaking innovations in science and technology will prosper,” said David Fitzpatrick, Ph.D., CEO and scientific director of MPFI. “This collaborative environment will allow us the opportunity to better tackle the areas of focus that are critical to the success of both of our institutions’ missions, goals and aspirations.” In his new role, Dawson-Scully will be responsible for developing and implementing key initiatives in areas that are crucial to FAU and MPFI. These initiatives will include co-branding programs, enhancing infrastructure, developing new educational programs, identifying and securing joint funding opportunities, conducting research training, building partnerships, and fostering collaboration between academic and administrative units. Additionally, as the head of this

www.bocaratontribune.com

new initiative, Dawson-Scully will act as a liaison for both institutes, developing and sustaining strong relationships with local and international foundations, corporations, government and community groups. “I am both honored and excited to serve in this new capacity for Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience and Florida Atlantic University. My ultimate goal is to escalate our international reputation and expand our distinguished faculty, recruiting talented students and world-class scientists to our institutions,” said Dawson-Scully. “By combining our expertise, knowledge and resources, our close partnership will generate significant impact, benefitting the local, regional and international communities.” The most recent joint program, where FAU and MPFI have partnered, is the FAU Max Planck Honors Program. The FAU MPHP is an elite undergraduate program that can be accomplished as an undergraduate student, in either FAU’s Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College or the College of Science, focused on the John D. MacArthur Campus at Jupiter. Applications for the first cohort for this fall are due April 30, and more information for the FAU MPHP can be found at http://fau.edu/mphp. Dawson-Scully received his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto in 2003, and his M.Sc. from Queen’s University in 1998. He currently serves on the steering committee and is a faculty member of the newly formed International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS). A highly accomplished researcher, his work investigates ways to protect the brain from neurodegeneration caused by acute or chronic cellular stress using the genetic model organism, the fruit fly or D. melanogaster. Dawson-Scully has identified a number of molecular targets in the fruit fly nervous system that can rescue the damaging effects of pathological conditions such as high temperature, low oxygen, and oxidative stress. This impactful research opens up new avenues for the future treatment of human diseases such as stroke and epilepsy. His findings, which have been successfully translated from fly, to zebrafish, fresh water turtle, and mouse, have led to the submissions of four novel United States patents for the medical treatment of febrile seizure, migraine, and stroke in humans. DawsonScully also serves as the chief scientific officer for Neuro Pharmalogics, Inc., an FAU Tech Runway® start-up company that has licensed his intellectual property for the purpose of creating novel therapeutics aimed at combating brain related diseases.

Glavy (United States Marine Corps), administered her Navy oath during the ceremony along with Kristen Azzam, 38, who also is entering the Navy to conduct her medical residency in family medicine at Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton in California. Emma Craig, 25, is entering the Air Force to conduct her medical residency in internal medicine at the San Antonio Military Medical Center in Texas. Michael Migita, 29, also is entering the Air Force to conduct his medical residency in pediatrics at the Naval Medical Center Portsmouth in Virginia. Trevor Reitz, 26, class president, is entering the Army to conduct his medical residency in radiology at Triple Army Medical Center in Hawaii. He was “hooded” by his older sister Cara Reitz, M.D., 28, who graduated from FAU’s College of Medicine in 2016 and also is in the Army. All 63 class members on stage were “hooded” during the ceremony, which is a symbolic rite of passage from one generation of physicians to the next generation of physicians. “Today is a momentous occasion for Jena, Kristen, Emma, Michael and Trevor as they prepare to proudly serve our country as well as for all of our graduates in the class of 2018,” said Phillip M. Boiselle, M.D., dean of FAU’s College of Medicine. “As you move forward in your careers, remember that medicine is a team sport. Much of the power of medicine lies in the successful teamwork of many individuals, and Florida Atlantic University has primed you for the team sport of medicine.” During the military ceremony, the officer’s oath was administered by Larry Brickman, M.D., an associate professor of surgery, director of clinical education in surgery and a retired major in the U.S. Army Reserve. Augustus A. White, III, M.D., Ph.D., the Ellen and Melvin Gordon Distinguished Professor of Medical Education and professor of orthopaedic surgery at Harvard Medical School, provided

the keynote remarks. White advocates for diversity in health care equality and is the first African-American to graduate from Stanford School of Medicine. He also served as a captain in the U.S. Army Medical Corps in Vietnam, earning him a bronze star. “Fellow physicians, today is the culmination of years of hard work, inspiration and dedication,” said Stuart L. Markowitz, M.D., senior associate dean of student affairs and admissions in FAU’s College of Medicine. “On behalf of all of us in the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine and Florida Atlantic University we wish you continued success in all of your endeavors. Congratulations class of 2018.” Markowitz, Sarah Wood, M.D., senior associate dean for medical education, and Jennifer Caceres, M.D., assistant dean for student affairs, in FAU’s College of Medicine, presented four awards and later announced and hooded the M.D. candidates during the graduation ceremony. “We have another tremendous milestone this year as 19 members of our graduating class have been hooded by a physician family member,” said Markowitz. Approximately one-third of the class of 2018 will remain in Florida to do their residencies. In line with FAU’s College of Medicine’s mission, one-third of the graduating class will enter primary care specialties. Highly competitive residency programs also are represented such as urology, anesthesiology, dermatology, neurology, orthopedics and surgery specialties. Among the various Florida institutions are: University of Florida College of Medicine - Shands Hospital, Gainesville; University of Miami Miller School of Medicine at Jackson Memorial Hospital; University of Miami Miller School of Medicine at Holy Cross; University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine, Tampa; Kendall Regional Medical Center, Miami; Orange Park Medical Center, Orange Park; University of Central Florida, Orlando; and the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine, Boca Raton. The class of 2018 also placed in several top institutions nationally including: Harvard/ Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston; Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Lebanon, New Hampshire; Penn State Hershey Medical Center, Hershey, Pennsylvania; Children’s National Medical Center, Washington, D.C.; Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina; Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia; and Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York. Following the graduation ceremony, the class of 2018 and guests enjoyed a special reception in the Live Oak Pavilion generously underwritten by Michael T.B. Dennis, M.D., a member of FAU’s Board of Trustees and chair of the advisory board for FAU’s College of Medicine.

Helping Each Other Survive for Another Day Speaking at a commencement ceremony at the University of Texas in 2014, Naval Admiral William H. McRaven, ninth commander of the U.S. Special Operations Command, talked about crucial lessons he learned during basic training for Navy SEALS. One particularly powerful lesson was impressed on him when he and other SEAL prospects were faced with 15 hours of “fighting the freezing cold, mud, the howling wind and pressure from the instructors to quit.” This almost unimaginable challenge came at the conclusion of what was called “hell week,” after six days of no sleep, constant physical and mental harassment. This make-or-break exercise was conducted at the Mud Flats, an area between San Diego, Calif., U.S.A. and Tijuana, Mexico, a swampy patch of terrain where the mud will engulf anyone in it. With eight hours remaining to swim in the cold mud, some men were ready to quit, McRaven said. Hopelessness was settling in. Then unexpectedly, one brave man began singing. Soon, one by one, others joined in the singing, and “somehow the mud seemed warmer and the wind tamer,” according to the admiral. As a result, the SEAL trainees survived the night. The singing was off-key but enthusiastic, he said. What it provided was hope, a necessary element for surviving any harsh trial. “If I have learned anything in my time traveling the world, it is the power of hope,” McRaven stated. “The power of one person – Washington, Lincoln, Mandela, and even a young girl from Pakistan, Malala – one person can change the world by giving people hope.” Few of us in the 21st century

marketplace will ever experience the intensive survival training of military Special Forces, but sometimes enduring the stresses of a workday can seem more demanding than we could have ever imagined. At times like that, we desperately need one another, singing or not. The Bible recognizes daily living – on the job and at home – can push us to our physical, mental and emotional limits. It offers principles for surviving demands that seem beyond our capacity to endure: We are there for one another. When we work together as a team, committed to the same goals and objectives, we can provide strength and encouragement for one another when needed. “We urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone” (1 Thessalonians 5:14). We can help in supplying each other with motivation and inspiration. Emotions go up and down during difficult times. Members of a well-functioning team that are strong can support those feeling weak. “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess., for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds” (Hebrews 10:2324). We can keep one another focused on the ultimate goal. When hope is failing, it helps to remind ourselves of the reward that lies ahead. “Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain” (1 Corinthians 15:58).

SPORTS Boca Raton FC Announces Sticker Trading Night at Home Opener

Soccer fans from all over South Florida are invited to Boca Raton FC’s National Premier Soccer League season opener on Saturday, May 5, against Miami United FC and join in on the World Cup fever with a sticker trading night at the stadium. A staple in every World Cup, the sticker album has been a part of the World Cup tradition and Boca Raton FC is excited to join in on the fun. Every fan who attends the match will be presented with a sticker album at the game, and before and after the game, fans are encouraged to bring their repeated stickers to swap with fellow collectors. “We are so excited to kick off our season at home and have a sticker trading day at the same time,” said club president, Douglas Heizer. “The World

Cup sticker album has been one of the marquee parts of the summer event and having an event at our home game has been something we’ve been looking forward to it for a while.” Boca Raton FC is coached by former Miami Fusion star Jim Rooney. Rooney captained the Fusion from 1999 to 2001, leading the Fusion to the Supporters Shield crown in 2001 and the US Open Cup Final in 2000. Rooney was an MLS All-Star in 2001 and in total scored 21 times and notched 22 assists in an MLS career that spanned six seasons and playing for the MetroStars, Miami Fusion, and the New England Revolution.

Emily Lochten Named C-USA Player Of The Week Florida Atlantic University shortstop Emily Lochten has been named Conference USA Player of the Week. It’s the first time Lochten has won the award outright. Lochten was named C-USA Co-Player of the Week once as a sophomore. A twotime All C-USA First Team selection, Lochten went out with a bang in the final home games of her career. In Saturday’s first game vs. WKU, she went 4-for-4 with three runs scored and two RBI in a 10-7 FAU win. In the nightcap, she went 3-for-4 with three stolen bases, three runs and two RBI while helping the Owls rally from a six-run deficit to win 13-12 in eight innings. On Sunday, Lochten added two

more doubles, scored twice and drove in a run in a 6-1 FAU victory. For the weekend, the senior hit .750 with a .786 on-base percentage and slugged 1.167 while helping the Owls sweep the Hilltoppers and increasing her school-record totals in career doubles (54) and stolen bases (122). The Owls conclude the regular season this weekend, when they travel to San Antonio to play UTSA, beginning with a doubleheader on Saturday, May 5. First pitch is set for 2 p.m. Eastern. Live stats and video will be available at fausports.com, and in-game updates can be found on the team’s official Twitter page, @fauowlssoftball.
