Boca’s Downtown Post Office Won’t Be Moving By: Michael Demyan Boca Raton’s downtown post office, located across from Mizner Park, will be staying right where it is. The U.S. Postal Service reached an agreement with its landlord, allowing them to stay at their current location, where it has been for over 50 years. The decision to stay comes after months of input and discussion among the public and city leaders. The idea was first brought up to former Mayor Susan Haynie on Feb. 20, but current Mayor Scott Singer announced shortly after that Boca Raton City Council unanimously supported keeping the post office where it is.

“For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.” - Romans 8:6-8

COMMUNITY Boca’s Downtown Post Office Won’t Be Moving
By: Michael Demyan Boca Raton’s downtown post office, located across from Mizner Park, will be staying right where it is. The U.S. Postal Service reached an agreement with its landlord, allowing them to stay at their current location, where it has been for over 50 years. The decision to stay comes after months of input and discussion among the public and city leaders. The idea was first brought up to former Mayor Susan Haynie on Feb. 20, but current Mayor Scott Singer announced shortly after that Boca Raton City Council unanimously supported keeping the post office where it is. “We’ve been working with our federal lobbyists, the Postal Service, our congressional representative – Congressman Deutch – all of them to communicate how strongly we feel about our Post Office remaining in our downtown,” Singer said back in March. Adding to the city council’s opinion, over 1,000 residents signed a petition to keep the post office from moving to a different location before a meeting was held on March 29 with the USPS, city council and the public in attendance.
The final decision was addressed to Singer on July 3 in a letter from Tom Samra, USPS vice president of facilities, describing that at the start of discussions, its landlord said that the lease would not be renewed. After hearing from the public, the USPS had since been able to come to a long-term agreement with the landlord. “To be self-sustaining, the Postal Service must make decisions that ensure it provides adequate and affordable postal services in a matter that is as efficient and economical as possible,” Samra said in the letter. Singer was pleased to hear the news that the USPS would not be moving the location away from downtown. “Thank you to all of the many residents who joined in this community effort to voice our concerns about the proposed move and process,” he said. “Your elected representatives shared these concerns with the USPS. Together, we overcame the trend of post office closings throughout the nation. The Postal Service listened to our statements on the need for a post office in our thriving downtown and its importance to residents and businesses.”

PBSC Holds the Line on Tuition for The Boca Raton Tribune Seventh Consecutive Year
OBITUARY Maria Theresia Fontaine
Palm Beach State College students will not see a hike in their tuition for the seventh straight year. The District Board of Trustees has voted to freeze tuition as part of its approval of the $132.5 million 2018-2019 fiscal year budget that goes into effect July 1. In-state tuition and fees will remain at $101 (including $76.92 for tuition) per credit hour or $303 for a threecredit hour course. Tuition and fees for postsecondary adult vocational program courses are fixed at $83.40 per credit hour
and $2.78 per contact hour. The cost of bachelor’s degree courses, regulated by the Florida Legislature, remains at $122.85 per credit hour or $368.55 for a three-credit hour class. While technology and capital improvement fees rose slightly twice, and the student activity fee rose once in the last seven years, Palm Beach State’s tuition has remained flat. To compare, in 2012-2013, students paid $98.25 per credit hour or $294.75 for a three-credit hour course.
Maria Theresia Fontaine “Oma” (Formerly Küblböck) age 79 of Boca Raton, FL passed away peacefully with her family Thursday July 5, 2018 at 6:56 AM at the Del Ray Medical Center after a long bout with Cushing’s Disease. Maria was born in Maresberg, Germany on January 25, 1939 to Alois and Theresia Küblböck. She was the youngest of 3 children. She immigrated on February 25, 1960 to the USA in search of a better life and on February 9, 1963 she married Kenneth Louis Fontaine. Ken and Maria enjoyed traveling together and spending time with family and friends. Maria earned an Associates degree in Germany and worked as a hairdresser eventually owning her own salon here in the US. Maria grew up in a rural area of the Bavarian region of Germany and was raised during and post WWII Germany which was a very unique experience as compared to most western world upbringings. Maria excelled in school and had an eye for art and design. Maria enjoyed the opera and attended whenever she could. However, her expertise was fam-
ily, she was always and continues to be the epicenter and glue of our immediate and extended family. Maria lived for her children and grandchildren; everything she thought and did was with one of them in mind. Maria is survived by her daughter Michelle (Christopher), and sons Michael (Monik) and Kenneth(Sherri); her sister Margaret Gebauer; 8 grand children, a niece and numerous cousins. Maria was preceded in death by her Husband Ken, grandson Dana, brother Josef and nephew Gunther. Maria will be remembered as the bedrock of her family.

EDITORIAL By C. Ron Allen
Should Journalists Start Packing Now? Sitting in my journalism classes in college, I learned the essence of what makes a good story, avoid libeling someone, the importance of asking tough questions and getting the details to write my stories factually and accurately. When I worked in five newsrooms from Massachusetts to Florida, I practiced with pride the cannons I learned. At no time during my more than three decades as a journalist, was I prepared to protect myself with a pistol on the job, the way it is debated that some teachers should do today. In the wake of last week’s brutal attack on my fellow journalists at the Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Maryland, I find myself asking, ‘What the hell is happening in this country?’ All the things we once considered “sacred” or the places and institutions we thought were untouchable are now under attack. As news people, we expect to go to work every day and do our jobs without fear of retribution. Yes, we expect the letters, phone calls, and emails from those who disagree with us. I am not naïve to think there are not wackos who will hurt you just because they can or because they don’t like your work. While I know there are those who will bleed venom-laced epithets from the mouth and hurl threats to massage their egos, I must admit that until recently I never anticipated anyone physically harming journalists on U.S. soil. Over the past few years, espe-
cially under this new administration, the term “First Amendment rights” has been watered down almost like a trite expression. The reality is, there seems to be a lack of understanding of why there is this right and what it truly means. As there are amendments that underscore and secure freedom and democracy in this country, there are amendments designed to help us keep these freedoms. The media is the fourth checkpoint on the democracy of this country. The other three are congress, the supreme court and the executive branch. Although this is not a federal job, the idea of the free press was to be another checking point, and when you try to remove or coerce that check point, you’re unbalancing the scale. Considering the daily assault on journalists coupled with the phrase “fake news” by politicians, political commentators and those who see journalists as enemies of the public, I am not surprised though. When I think of the slaughtering of worshippers in churches, the attacks on innocent children in schools and now, the targeting of journalists for doing what we do - report the news as unbiasedly as we possibly can - it makes me say, enough is enough. During my 24 years at the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, I had my share of unkind missives from readers. Cops threatened me, lawyers and even members of the clergy dressed me down over my
coverage of them. A retired educator once sent me a tear sheet of my story with a word highlighted and a $2 bill with the encouragement to “invest in a dictionary and use it.” And there was the time when two of my colleagues discovered that a local deli owner was selling pork for kosher. After the story broke, he told one of the writers that the story would kill his business and he was going to blow us up, which prompted the paper to assign a security guard at the entrance to the building. Yes, I recall my days as a reporter at the Sun-Sentinel wearing a bulletproof vest to work. That was to ward off an attack from a few disgruntled rogue cops who had threatened me after I wrote a series of stories outing their practices. I could have been over paranoid but I donned the vest myself because -the paper didn’t even know I was wearing one - I knew what these guys were capable of doing. One police chief also tried - not once but two times – to get me fired. He even tasked one of his underlings to keep a folder on me, of which I later learned after he was forced to resign in disgrace. Perhaps one of the more egregious experiences was when an irate developer, who lost a bid during a highly contested election, accused me of costing him the election and sent me a caustic missive to have sexual relations with myself. It has become commonplace to hear elected officials who disagree with something the newspaper published brand
our work “fake news” in public meetings. Still, we do not expect anyone to barge in our newsrooms and unleash hell on us as Jarrod Ramos did. What about the days when someone would threaten to kick your rear end like a soccer ball or swear they would cancel their subscription so “your paper would close down.” As someone who has spent much of my life in newsrooms, what I find especially frightening today is how quickly people are at declaring journalists as the enemy, if they do not like something that was printed or reported. In May, we saw where Greg Gianforte, a Republican candidate for Montana’s congressional seat, “body-slammed” a Guardian political reporter to the floor on the eve of the state’s special election after the reporter questioned him about the Republican healthcare plan. Perhaps there are some media outlets that lean more one way than the other, but most of us, including the Boca Raton Tribune, do not. We take great pride, every single day, to report the local news as unbiasedly as we possibly can. And just like those brave, courageous journalists, who while grieving the death of their colleagues, rushed across the street from their bloodied newsroom (crime scene) and put out a newspaper the next day, that is what we do – even under fire: we deliver the news at any cost and damn it, we will not be deterred.
POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.
Everybody’s personal i-dentity is developed and maintained in relation to one’s origins. People long to know of their heritage in order to move on in life and reach a fulfilling future. If one’s ancestry is a sour-ce of shame, one may either get stuck in that knowledge and condition, cover it up, or be more determined to transcend all adversity or inadequacy, and make progress toward a more meaningful future. By the same token, if one’s past is glorious, if one descends from an illustrious family line, one may reap corresponding laurels. Yet, if studying the ancestors’ history one discovers hidden flaws amidst victories,

Your Roots and Identity
serious problems left unresolved, or other vital issues requiring more adequacy - addressing all this can still contribute to a fulfilling present and promising future. Soren Kierkegaard, the 19th century Danish philosopher, stated that “we live forward, but we can only think backward.” Indeed, mistakes are normally not corrected while they are happening, but only much later, from the perspective of careful observation and gradual recognition of what can be improved. Action then follows! The word “roots” in this context, reflects our desire to learn whence we have come, who we are, where we have been, what are we becoming, what prompts us
into motion, what keeps us going, and what kind of obstacles we have already successfully overcome. Most of all, it also points to where we are now; is it the right place? Are we in step with God’s purpose for our life? All these questions are essential because people can learn from failure and, at the same time, be stimulated into greater achievements based on lessons learned, and in view of past successes enjoyed as well! God’s blueprint is ever before us! Authors Thomas M. Gannon and George M. Traub, from their vast study of history, concluded that “only the man who truly possesses the past can own his own present” and, obviously, devise the future by

Regardless of what identity you may have acquired from your family, on account of the education received, via a professional life maintained, by the status attained in society - all this and much more may not avail you in manifesting your true identity! Ultimately, what truly matters is what you are doing with who you are and with all you have. Throughout your entire earthly journey, you are in the process of perpetual becoming. With God’s help, always seek to be the best that you can be!

Caberet at Schmidt College School of Arts I attended the show Caberet at the Schmidt College School of Arts Studio One Theatre on the FAU campus with Marleen Forkas who had a small part as a walk on in the show and was a major sponsor to the show. Having seen the original show on Broadway I was surprised what a great job this cast of students did. Trayven Call as the Emcee, the Joel Gray role in the original movie stole the show. Gaby Tortoldedo as Sally Bowles and Zak Westfall as Cliff Bradshaw did an excellent job as well. After the show we joined the cast for a pizza party at the Living Room Theater where Marleen Laurie Carney and Gail Vorsas were honored with beautiful flowers.
Assigning Responsibility When I have a project that requires only my expertise, I find I can easily focus on producing an excellent outcome. If a project requires an entire team, however, achieving excellence becomes more complex. A team typically has multiple people with different perspectives, experiences and ideas about how something should be approached and completed. To make matters even more complicated, team leaders, including myself, often forget the simple step of assigning responsibilities for a desired outcome. Two commonly used statements come to mind that apply here. One says, “The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.” In other words, people with a variety of skills, gifts and abilities can accomplish more collectively than if they were to operate independently of one another. Thus it is important to delegate tasks and assignments according to the team members’ respective strengths and capabilities. The second statement is, “None of us is as smart as all of us.” Sometimes it is tempting for leaders to want to control all planning and decision-making, confident they know what is best. But by trusting the team’s collective intelligence, a better outcome can be achieved than the leader could have envisioned. This principle of assigning responsibilities to different members of the team according to their abilities is one that appears repeatedly in the Bible. For instance, after their escape from Egypt, the Israelite nation’s leaders were confronted with the taunting task of governing them. Moses was the leader, but he could not do all the decision-making by himself.
Moses’ father-in-law, Jethro, was the one that recognized the need to share the burden of settling legal disputes. He told Moses, “What you are doing is not good. You and these people who come to you will only wear yourselves out. The work is too heavy for you; you cannot handle it alone” (Exodus 18:17). Jethro proceeded to recommend how Moses could properly delegate judicial responsibilities, reserving only the most difficult cases for himself. Later God established procedures for caring for the Israelites’ worship center, dividing duties among the men who had formally been appointed as priests. Numbers 18:1 states, “The LORD said to Aaron, “You, your sons and your family are to bear the responsibility for offenses connected with the sanctuary.” Aaron was a very capable leader, but to get the work done properly it needed to be shared by others. It can be tempting for leaders to try and do all of the work. After all, they know exactly what they want to have done and also know exactly how they would like to have it accomplished. But one of the many advantages of a team is having a number of individuals that can contribute to the effort and share the load, preventing it from becoming overwhelming for one person. As Ecclesiastes 4:8-12 declares, “There was a man all alone…. There was no end to his toil…. Two are better than one because they have a good return for their work…. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” If you desire your team to excel, be certain to specifically divide responsibilities, then hold everyone accountable for completing the work.

7th Annual Boca Burger Battle Returns to Sanborn Square
By: Kenny Spahn
Summer is here. The crowds are shorter and the days are hotter. And the grills are a’ firin’ up again, as the area’s top chefs compete for your gustatory delight at the 7th Annual Boca Burger Battle. The increasingly popular “Grilling Affair” takes place on Saturday, July 14 in Sanborn Square Park along Federal Highway in downtown Boca Raton. Don’t miss this Burgerlicious experience to taste the best burgers and other grilled sensations, as Chefs from 16 of the area’s top eateries push the grilling envelope, and vie for the coveted Golden Burger Trophy and title of the “Best Boca Burger.” A panel of hungry Judges will select their Pick for “Best Grill Master” and “Best Alternative Grill Master,” and all festival goers will vote for the People’s Choice Award for the prestigious “Best Boca Burger” title.

Leal Scholarship to Help First-Generation College Students Palm Beach State College alumnus Alberto Leal wants to help and mentor first-generation college students through a new five-year scholarship that bears his name. “Scholarships played a major role in financing my education,” said Leal, attorney and owner of The Leal Law Firm in Wellington. “I wanted to give back and provide that same opportunity for hard-working and qualified students. I strongly believe that we have an obligation to assist one another as fellow Panthers and as fellow people.” As part of the PBSC Foundation first-generation college scholarships, the $2,400 a year Leal Scholars Program Scholarship will be awarded to three first generation college students this year as the Florida state legislature decided to match first generation gifts 2 to 1. After that, it will be given to two students each year for the remaining four years. In addition to being a first-generation college student, those interested must also be enrolled nine or more credit hours and have a GPA of 3.3 or higher. Preference will be given to Florida residents who are Hispanic. Financial need is also required. PBSC is currently accepting applications for Foundation scholarships. Students submit one application and are considered for all the scholarships for which they qualify based on donor criteria. There are more than 200 scholarships
www.bocaratontribune.com
available. The deadline to apply is Sept. 15, 2018. Leal, a South Florida native and the first in his family to earn a graduate degree, also wants to meet with the scholarship recipients on a regular basis. “Mentorship is extremely important. As a first generation college student, it can be tough making decisions that can best prepare you for the future when perhaps members of the student’s immediate family did not have the same opportunity to make those type of decisions. I want to be able to help students with what I can because I know how important it is to have someone in your corner.” While at PBSC, Leal received a Foundation transfer scholarship that he used to pay for books at Florida Atlantic University. After graduating there with a bachelor’s degree in political science, he then earned a juris doctorate degree at Nova Southeastern University. Today, he works on accessibility cases for the blind. He says the motivation for the work comes from his grandmother, who has been blind most of her life. Today, Leal encourages people to attend college so they can learn more about themselves. “College is a time for personal growth as much as it is a time to learn. I don’t think we as people should ever find reasons to miss out on opportunities that can help us grow on a personal level.”

FAU’s Kelly/Strul Emerging Scholars Program Awards Full Scholarships to 20 Florida First-Generation Students First-generation college students often are more motivated to succeed than fellow students; however, they also face significant issues, particularly with respect to finances and acclimating to a postsecondary learning environment. Florida Atlantic University is out to change that. Celebrating the college Class of 2022, FAU’s Kelly/Strul Emerging Scholars Program has awarded full scholarships to 20 first-generation, low-income students from across Florida. The awards provide the financial resources and personal support to help them through college. A list of recipients and their high schools follows. Through the program, students receive tuition, four-year on-campus housing and additional resources needed to graduate debt-free from FAU. From acceptance through graduation, every scholar follows an established path to ensure their success. Through The Path, supplementary tools, including career planning, mentoring and financial literacy, among others, are provided to prepare recipients for successful collegiate careers and meaningful post-graduate lives. The Kelly/Strul Emerging
www.bocaratontribune.com
Scholars Program was developed by FAU President John Kelly and first lady Carolyn Kelly, along with Boca Raton philanthropists Aubrey and Sally Strul. “Some of Florida’s most talented high school graduates accepted to Florida Atlantic University will never step foot on campus,” said Co-Founder John Kelly. “Not because they lack desire or are unwilling to work hard for a college education, but simply because they can’t afford it.” A former first-generation student, Aubrey Strul understands the crippling burden of school debt and actively works to build the fund. To help catapult the program, the Struls gifted an initial investment of $1 million. The program was launched last year and granted full scholarships and comprehensive support programs to four deserving students. Since then, generous donors have significantly increased the number of students the Kelly/Strul Emerging Scholars Program can assist. Donations supporting firstgeneration scholars’ success are welcome online at kellystrulscholars.fau.edu/give/ or by calling (561) 297-4897.

BOCA RATON, FL — Boca Raton Football Club is well represented in the 2018 NPSL Conference XI voting with five nominations, the most ever by Boca Raton FC in its two season in NPSL. Boca Raton FC has four players up for nomination: Goalkeeper Michael Stone, defender Filip Guhr, midfielder Daniel (Carlos) Meneses, and forward Giovanni Amoroso, as well as Head Coach Jim Rooney. Jim Rooney (Head Coach): In his first season at the helm of Boca Raton FC, Rooney’s youth vision was phase one in a process. Boca Raton FC was filled with talented young guns hungry and ready to prove themselves in the tough NPSL Sunshine Conference. Rooney guided the Boys in Blue to a 3-1-8 record. Rooney’s 10 points is a Boca Raton FC high as they outperformed last season’s club. With one of the youngest starting eleven in the conference at just 21.1 years of age, Rooney led the club to battle every weekend versus teams that boasted professional rosters such as Jacksonville Armada, Miami FC 2, Miami United, as well as talented amateurs sides that have played together for years such as Naples United, Palm Beach United, and Storm FC. Michael Stone (Goalkeeper): Stone joined Boca Raton FC from Amherst College in Massachusetts. During his freshman season with the Mammoths, Stone played 707 minutes, while conceding only nine goals. Allowing only 1.15 goals per 90 minutes, Stone’s shot-stopping efforts consistently provide his team an opportunity to win. For Boca Raton FC, the 19-yearold played 765 minutes, making 37 saves while allowing 2.23 goals per 90 minutes.
July 13 - July 19, 2018
Filip Guhr (Defender): The University of Pennsylvania product was featured in 9 games for the Boys In Blue this season. Guhr won 76 percent of clearances and was a defensive catalyst in the young Boca Raton FC backline. A local through and through, the 6’1 defender was a varsity letter winner at Boca Prep and played his club soccer for Team Boca where he won four soccer championships including the Disney Showcase and IMG Boys Invitational Cup, CASL Showcase, the Kukkonio Cup in Slovakia, and the Potomac Memorial in Maryland. Daniel (Carlos) Meneses (Midfielder): The Boca Raton FC captain not only is the oldest player in Jim Rooney’s squad, but with stints in first division clubs in Venezuela such as Deportivo Tachira, Zamora FC (during the South American Cup), Vigia FC, Union Átlético Maracaibo, and Atlético Bucaramanga, Meneses is also the most experienced player on the team. Meneses was featured in eights matches for Boca Raton FC, logging 637 minutes, scoring two goals and recording two assists. Giovanni Amoroso (Forward): Amoroso was featured in 11 NPSL matches, logging in a team-high 671 minutes. The 20-year-old recorded on assist and was a crucial member of the attack, winning 74 percent of the balls sent his way. Although just 20, Amoroso has played for clubs such as Guarani U17 (2012 – 2014), and Udinese Calcio of the Italian Serie A (2014-2016) before joining Boca Raton FC at the start of the NPSL Season.
Lynn Women’s Golf Finishes Third in WGCA All-Scholar Team GPA Award Having already seen five golfers earn Scholar All-America recognition, it should come as no surprise Lynn University's women's golf program was honored as one of the top 25 teams in the nation for team GPA by the Women's Golf Coaches Association. The Fighting Knights boasted the third-best GPA in the country among all NCAA Division II programs. The University of Nebraska Omaha women's golf team has been named the recipient of the 2017-18 WGCA All-Scholar Team GPA Award. The award recognizes the women's collegiate golf program with the highest collective average team GPA which includes all of the team's student-athletes for the 2017-18 season. Omaha's six team members had an average
GPA of 3.949. Leading Division II was Lindenwood University, as the team's eight members averaged a 3.886 GPA, while Ithaca College led Division III with a 3.801 average GPA. Lynn posted a 3.867 grade-point average for the 2017-18 academic year, highest among all Sunshine State Conference institutions and the third-best in Division II behind Lindenwood and Augustana (South Dakota). Across all three NCAA divisions, Lynn's GPA ranked fourth in the nation. Last week, all five Fighting Knights in the starting lineup were honored as WGCA All-American Scholars for having a GPA of 3.50 or above.
2018 FAU Women’s Soccer Schedule Unveiled In a little over a month's time, the 2018 campaign for Florida Atlantic University women's soccer gets underway, with 10 home matches on the docket among 19 regular season contests for the squad. The regular season opener will take place on Friday, Aug. 17, at 7 p.m., as the Owls host Miami at FAU Stadium. The on-campus football venue has showcased a women's soccer match each of the last two years, and the Owls and Hurricanes will further that this season. After a trip to Gainesville to take on perennial national contender Florida, three of the next four matchups will be at FAU Soccer Stadium: Denver (Aug. 23), Baylor (Aug. 26) and Niagara (Sept. 2). The team will travel out-of-state twice, taking on Murray State in Murray, Kentucky (Aug. 31) and two SEC squads in Fayetteville, Arkansas: Host Arkansas (Sept. 7) and a neutral game there against Mississippi (Sept. 9). "We are excited about the challenges that face us this fall – both in the non-conference and within Conference USA," said Head Coach Patrick Baker. "We have a number of nationally-recognized teams in our non-conference section that haven't been on our schedule recently that our fans will enjoy seeing for the first time. FGCU (in a home scrimmage at FAU Soccer Stadium on Aug. 8), Miami, Florida, Murray State, Niagara, Denver, Baylor, Arkansas, Ole Miss and Oral Roberts – what a lineup the first six weeks of the fall. The first 10 games will provide great competition for our young ladies and we will

definitely know a lot about ourselves before conference play begins in September." Marshall is the first C-USA foe of the season, on the road in Huntington, West Virginia, on Sept. 14. The next four, and six of the next seven, are home contests, including a non-conference tilt versus Oral Roberts (Sept. 20), and the league home opener against UAB (Sept. 23). The final two home matches are Old Dominion (Oct. 11) and Middle Tennessee (Oct. 14), with the three remaining dates on the regular season schedule all on the road. "The 2018 Conference USA schedule will be the most challenging since arriving in the conference five years ago," said Baker. "We have enjoyed three straight years of success in C-USA play and the task now is to contend for the regular season title. Three CUSA opponents the past two years - Charlotte, UTEP and WKU - come off the schedule and now have added UTSA, North Texas and LA Tech. We know the 10 conference games will be tough whether home or away. The team is excited and ready to start the 2018 campaign." After the finale in Miami, at FIU on Oct. 26, the team hopes to continue into postseason play. This year's Conference USA Championship will be hosted by ODU in Norfolk, Virginia, Oct. 31-Nov. 4. The first round of the NCAA Tournament is the weekend of Nov. 9, and the 2018 Women's College Cup continues into early December, with the final three contests to take place in Cary, North Carolina.

FAU Men's Basketball Signs 10 For 2018-19 Season Florida Atlantic University Head Men's Basketball Coach Dusty May has announced the signing of 10 studentathletes in his first recruiting class. The class includes four incoming freshmen, three junior college transfers, two undergraduate transfers and a graduate transfer. Of his initial signing class, May declared, "Overall, this class will add length, athleticism, the ability to play multiple positions and especially shooting." He added, "It's also a balanced class in terms of experience. That should give our roster some continuity in the future. We wanted to add depth to our roster and we feel like we've hit a homerun with this class. All of these young men come from winning programs. We want to create a culture of success. The best way to do that is to bring in recruits that know what it takes to win and we feel like we've done that with this class." Michael Forrest is a six-foot guard who will come to FAU from nearby Blanche Ely High School in Pompano Beach, where he led the Tigers to their fifth state title in seven years while averaging 26 points, five rebounds, four assists and three steals per game as a senior. He was named Athlete of the Year by the Broward County Athletic Association. "Michael Forrest is a local player who we focused on immediately after getting the job," said May. "He comes from a great program that has won at a high level and he was a big part of their success. He scores, he defends, he's going to be a very good player for FAU for the next four years." Jaylen Sebree is a 6-7 small forward who played his high school ball at Christian County in Kentucky where he averaged 16.9 points and 8.5 rebounds as a senior. Sebree spent last year at IMG Academy in Bradenton. "Jaylen is a smooth athlete who can make shots," pointed out May. He does a little bit of everything. We're keen on his potential." Kevaughn Ellis is a 6-4 guard, originally from Hamilton, Canada, who played at Hamilton Heights Christian Academy in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where he averaged 10.4 points and 3.3 rebounds a game as a senior for the Hawks. "Kevaughn is an athletic wing player out of another very successful program that has produced several high level college players over the last few years," commented May. "He's a capable shot maker and a very good defender. He's versatile and can play multiple positions on both ends of the floor." Madiaw Niang is a 6'9 forward, originally from Senegal, who played at DME Sports Academy in Daytona Beach, Florida. According to May, "Madiaw can play multiple positions. He can play on the perimeter, he can play in the post and he has a great feel for the game. We're excited about his immediate future, and especially his long term future. He's got a really high ceiling and he should play right away as a freshman." Richardson Maitre hails from Montreal, Canada by way of Indian Hills Community College. As a freshman, the 6-3 guard averaged 8.7 points, 3.5 assists and 2.7 rebounds for the Warriors, while help-

ing them to a Region 11 title and NJCAA Tournament appearance. "Richardson is an experienced guard who can play the point or off the ball," remarked May. "He played at one the best programs in the country, they were ranked number one in the nation at times and he played an integral role. He wasn't able to play this past season because of a foot injury, so he will have three years of eligibility left. Rich can do a lot of things, we're excited for him to be part of the program." Everett Winchester is a 6-6 guard who will sit out the 2018-19 season under NCAA transfer rules. Winchester averaged 8.0 points and 3.8 rebounds last year while helping Wright State to a NCAA Tournament appearance as a redshirt freshman. "Everett was looking for a change and as soon as we found that out, we immediately jumped on him," said May. "He is a wing player with size that could do a little bit of everything and he's a competitor and a winner. (Sitting out a year) will give him a year to get stronger and work on his game. We think he has a bright, bright future." Karlis Silins is a 6'11 transfer from Ole Miss, where injury limited him to just eight games at the SEC school. "Karlis is a player of high character who will add a lot of value to our program," May said. "He is a skilled big who brings a lot of physicality and is very comfortable with his back to the basket. He also moves well for his size which will help us a lot on the defensive end." Cedric Jackson is a 6'3 shooting guard originally from Orlando, Florida who spent the last two seasons at Indian River State College. "Cedric scored at a high level (at Indian River)," noted May. "We felt that with his experience scoring the ball, he would be able to make an immediate impact." Aleksander Zecevic is a 6-10 post player who spent last year at San Jacinto College where he averaged 6.2 points and 5.3 rebounds a game for the Ravens, who won 19 games and advanced to the Region XIV Tournament. "Aleksander comes to us from another very good junior college program," stated May. "He adds size, skill and experience to what will be a young roster. We look forward to what he can bring in terms of his physicality, passing ability and scoring on the low block." Xavian Stapleton is a 6'7 graduate transfer from Mississippi State. He played at Louisiana Tech, where May was on the coaching staff, as a freshman before transferring to Starkville. Stapleton averaged 6.7 points and 2.7 rebounds in his two years as a Bulldog. "We coached Xavian his freshman year and he had a great season for us," said May. "He transferred to Mississippi State where he battled some knee injuries that slowed him down, but he's healthy now. We couldn't be more excited about adding him here. With his experience, his passion and his competitiveness, he's going to be able to do a lot of things for us. He will really complement the younger guys and will show them how to work and compete at a high level."
