Dungy Shares During STEAM Luncheon

Boca to spend nearly $750M on underground utilities, mayor says in ‘State of City’ speech

February 28 - March 5, 2020

Tony Dungy, NFL Hall of Fame coach and New York Times bestselling author, described the characteristics of great leaders and the keys to success to a crowd of more than 650 Feb. 20 as the featured guest speaker at Palm Beach State College Foundation’s 8th annual STEAM luncheon. “As a leader, you have to know where you are going and that’s going to help you take other people there,” Dungy said. Dungy, who led the Indianapolis Colts to a Super Bowl win in 2006, has been developing his leadership skills since the start of his coaching career in 1980. “You also must lead people not by pushing them but by bringing them with you,” he told the audience. “Whether I was the quarterback on the middle school team or student council president or head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, it was still the same thing. I know what my goals are, and what my vision is but how do I now get people to follow me. That is the most important question.” Dungy not only spoke about leadership and mentoring but also fatherhood, football and education during the sold-out event. Story on Page 10

Community Boca Raton Drivers/Cyclists Boca to spend nearly $750M on Relationships Among the Best in underground utilities, mayor says Florida, Reveals Survey in ‘State of City’ speech Boca Raton drivers/cyclists relationships among the best in the state, reveals survey. As has been widely reported, Florida is the most dangerous state for cyclists, with the Sunshine State accounting for almost 16% of all fatalities in the U.S. Yet, even discounting accidents, Florida appears to be a hotbed of neverending roadwars between cyclists and drivers, often shared with the masses on the likes of YouTube or other social media sites thanks to the innovation of dash-cam and helmet cameras. As with most situations, it is fair to say that there are two sides to the argument. While drivers accuse cyclists of running red lights, weaving through traffic and riding the wrong way down one-way streets, cyclists frequently direct their anger at drivers who use their cellphones, drive too close or open a door without checking behind them. Delray Beach-based Gunther Volvo ran a survey of 2,800 road users in Florida to take the pulse of what their relationships are really like… and they made some surprising discoveries… Overall, when asked how they would rank their relationship with the each other out of 10 (ten being the most harmonious, and one being the least), it was revealed that driver/cyclist relationships on Florida roads are at a lowly 4.8 out of 10. Boca Raton, home to stunning beaches, golf courses and parks, has among the best relationships among drivers and cyclists in the state however, at 5.5/10. Poinciana, a town with a rural feel and often described as a familyfriendly destination has the best driver/ cyclist relationships in Florida at 7.3/10. In contrast, Riverview, has the lowest

relationship ranking at just 2.9/10. Said to be one of the oldest settlements in the state, it is perhaps not so surprising driver/cyclist relationships are at their lowest ebb here – the town is a suburb of Tampa, statistically the most dangerous metro area in the state for two-wheeled road users. You can see how these relationships rank across Florida with this infographic: And when it comes to road rage, well, many road users confessed to being guilty of that – 44.7% of drivers said they’d got angry with a cyclist on the road. Of those, 47% were men, compared to 42.6% of women. On the other hand, a significantly lower proportion of cyclists (24.2%) say they have seen red on the roads, and directed their anger towards drivers. Correlating with official statistics making Florida a deadly state for cyclists, 56% of cyclists declared that they feel more unsafe using Florida roads than in other states. To emphasize the point, the survey revealed that 59.5% of drivers never check behind them before opening their doors. Yet, despite the occasional road rage incident, it appears that there is a general consensus for drivers and cyclists to share Florida roads in harmony. The survey revealed that over two-thirds (74%) of drivers in Florida empathize with cyclists and the frustrations that they must feel on the roads, perhaps when someone overtakes too closely, or brakes suddenly without seeming to see a cyclist in their mirror. Cyclists are in agreement with the drivers here too, with 68% stating that they empathize with the frustrations of drivers on the roads when they come across someone on their bike.

By: Dale King Boca Raton is a city that has a lot going for it, on the ground, in the air, and on the water, Mayor Scott Singer said Feb. 18 in his inaugural “State of the City” address. But he’s also concerned about what’s happening under the ground. And for that, he said, the city plans to spend nearly $750 million over the next 15 years to examine and evaluate utilities. This is in addition to the $50 million already in this year’s budget for sub-surface pipe problems. He noted that recent sewer and water line breaks “just to our south are stark reminders that we need to invest in our infrastructure.” Speaking before about 200 people in the Black Box Theatre of the Boca Cultural Arts Center in Mizner Park, Singer discussed the city’s “successes,” aided by videos featuring Fire Chief Tom Wood, Interim Police Chief Michele Miuccio, Lauren Burack, head of the ISIP (Innovative Sustainable Infrastructure Program) and Florida Atlantic University President Dr. John Kelly. The mayor said Boca will use ISIP to probe Boca underground. In the video, Burack said the program is a new initiative by the Boca Raton Utility Services Department that uses technology and data to evaluate, prioritize and improve critical underground areas throughout the city. “By using a mapping inventory system, areas will be identified and prioritized based on the age, location, and deterioration [level] of water and sewer pipes and neighborhood roads.” Coincidentally, perhaps, Singer used the same adjective to describe Boca Raton as President Donald Trump used to describe the USA in his State of the Union address – “strong.” “Imagine your ideal city,” the mayor asked. “Beautiful beaches, friendly neighborhoods, tree-lined streets, great shopping, and dining and top-notch education. It sounds like you’ve just described Boca Raton.” He told how city leaders meet annually “in strategic planning sessions and set goals.” Various city departments provide on-the-scene strength needed to carry out these plans. Wood said on video that the message of the Boca Fire-Rescue Department is “that customer service is top priority. People are to be treated with respect and

www.bocaratontribune.com

compassion.” Singer noted that Boca is spending $2 million for new equipment to “enhance rapid response. We are also rebuilding Station 6 on Clint Moore Road.” The mayor said Boca is creating a corps of volunteers who know CPR. They will be given PulsePoint apps and be notified to help out in case of emergencies. “They may be able to get there before the EMTs.” Miuccio said Boca Raton has 327 “men and women in law enforcement, dedicated to the safety and security of the city.” To help find ways to “improve the lives of people in Boca Raton, we stay current with technical training and equipment and stay true to our mission.” Mayor Singer cited the “strong financial” position Boca has carved through economic development. It has saved and/ or created thousands of jobs and partnered with FAU’s Research Park and Tech Runway to improve the job and employment situation. He said the city has “a low tax rate” and no increases in the local millage rate in seven years. Boca retains a Triple A bond rating, he added – the best there is. “We’ve cut permitting time by 50 percent,” he said. “We’ve updated our sign code while preserving our Boca look.” Singer was particularly proud of the Brightline/Virgin USA train station and garage planned behind Boca’s Downtown Library. He said the city has a reserve fund that “allows us to be nimble” and grab projects like the train station without financial harm. The mayor also detailed the city’s free holiday and other events in city parks and Mizner Park Amphitheater. Art is Public Places and new way-finding signs are revitalizing the city, he noted. “Later this summer, we are going to restart the CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) after a gap. He noted that Boca Raton has an active volunteerism program. “We have 700 volunteers and they have provided 60,000 hours of service.” He also said Boca has set down an energetic sustainability program. The city has a truck that can provide drinking water at various events, eliminating the need for water in plastic bottles. Volunteers have been cleaning beaches more frequently and Councilman Andy Thomson picks up litter while jogging, Singer said with a smile. “These people are the heart of our city,” he said. “These are the residents who bring ideas and initiatives. Our people are the reason Boca is strong.”

FAU set for grand opening of eSports Arena in March When Florida Atlantic University renamed their Boca Raton on-campus bar of “Coyote Jack’s Grill” to “Burrow Bar and Grill” back in 2013, it was more than just a name change, but a representation of the entire culture of the university. Whether it was going there to eat, grab a beer, play billiards, or even perform karaoke, the Burrow Bar and Grill acted as a stress-reliever for students and the entire Boca Raton community to gather and enjoy themselves, while still remaining on campus. Despite nights where few students would come, the Burrow still offered more affordable prices on food and alcohol than other bars off-campus and would sometimes have live bands perform too. These two reasons, however, weren’t enough to keep the bar alive, and in December 2018, the Burrow Bar and Grill was closed and the creation of a new plan of what was going to occupy the space began. “Since the [Student] Union was [already] under construction, it was a great idea to take the old restaurant and turn it into a gaming center,” said Michael Cooper, who is the Director of the Student Union. “[The Burrow] needed an update.” This “gaming center” Cooper is referring to is the brand new eSports Arena that will open in March. Although the arena was originally supposed to be completed by the end of the Fall 2019 semester in December, minor construction delays, such as flooring issues and wiring the entire arena, are what setback the opening. Specifically with the flooring, which was put in both the eSports Arena and updated Student Union, an odor coming from it paused construction for a few weeks, as well as the Student Union remaining open during construction and events, including graduations that still occurred, which aided on the delay of the opening. “I don’t think we factored in the influence construction was going to have on the space,” Cooper said. “It’s just like if you owned a home and you’re reconstructing your bathroom, but then you find something wrong and it delays you a month.” So why an eSports Arena? Well, it wasn’t even in the original plans. Initially, the space that occupied the Burrow Bar and Grill after it closed, was supposed to be meant for more meeting places where the over 400 student organizations at FAU could come together and hold their meetings at any time. While this could have been effective for the present, Cooper and other administrators were looking toward the future and in February 2019, the gears were switched and the official plan for an eSports Arena was off and running. In an age, where a 16-year-old boy can win $3 million from just being good at the video game, Fortnite, eSports, or competitive video game playing, has morphed into an over $100 billion industry, where professional teams have been formed and travel the country competing against other talented video game players, according to the article from the New York Times. “I think it will drive more students to the university and help FAU become a top 100 public institution,” FAU Boca Raton Campus Governor Alex Zand said. “I

February 28 - March 5, 2020

know we are planning on hosting national tournaments for eSports too.” These tournaments could invite professional gaming teams to compete here in Boca Raton in the near future. Boca Raton is already gaining some attention from the eSports world, where according to the South Florida Business Journal, eSports company, Misfits Gaming Group, are relocating their headquarters to Boca Raton in 2021 and will invest more than $1.35 million and create 30 new jobs. Professional eSports teams will be welcomed to visit the arena to practice, according to Cooper. Furthermore, the Barry Kaye Auditorium also has the potential to host eSports tournaments in the future, outlining the possibility of FAU’s innovation on a national scale. This is what the University of California-Irvine (UCI) was able to accomplish since 2015 when they opened an eSports Arena of their own and created a Computer Game Science major program as well. Cooper, who was in contact with UCI eSports Arena Assistant Director Kathy Chang, mirrored the FAU model to resemble UCI’s and from there the business model was up and running. Within FAU’s eSports Arena will lie multiple rows of gaming personal computers (PC’s) where each PC will sit atop tables made specifically for gaming and have its own personal gaming chair, designed with FAU’s colors and the student government logo, for each student to sit and play. Not wanting to deal with licensing issues, the arena will not provide console game systems, such as Xbox or PlayStation, but rather encourage students to bring their own to play on that will be in a separate area for those students looking to just plugin and play. “We spent a good amount of time making sure these were the right PCs and they are really nice [because we] partnered with a gaming pc company called MSI,” Cooper said. “The connectivity the students will have is going to be beyond what they imagined and I hope two years from now we can look back and say we’ve graduated to an eSports team and maybe even some other academic programs, or a degree program.” While it is still unclear what day exactly in March the eSports Arena is going to be officially opened, Cooper stressed that the eSports Arena is “probably 95 percent” completed. However, today (Feb 27) and tomorrow (Feb 28) only, a maximum of 20 to 30 students will be able to enter the arena on every hour between 12 and 5 p.m. to test out the games and PC’s for free. The next steps in the Student Union renovations, include adding a nail salon and possibly even a full-service restaurant where the Live Oak conference rooms are located currently. However, none of this has been approved nor finalized yet. “[Since] the union was constructed in 1972, we’re just trying to give a newer feel to an older building,” Cooper said. “A lot of the other universities, such as FIU, have nail salons, so when this is all said and done, [the Student Union could] be like a mini Mizner Park.”

Bestselling author creates scholarship for PBSC students

James Patterson, the world’s bestselling author, is creating a scholarship that will cover the full cost of tuition for Palm Beach State College students. The Patterson Family Foundation has established scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students at 15 colleges and universities across the United States, but this will be the first to benefit community college students. The James Patterson Presidential Scholarship will fund 32 full-time scholarships, which will be awarded annually to 16 incoming and 16 second-year PBSC students. While eligibility targets students who have expressed interest in pursuing careers in education, the scholarship will be available to other full-time students as well. “This scholarship will help students thrive and provide them an education without the financial burden that can go with it,’’ Patterson said. “Palm Beach State College has an impressive track record in molding students into becoming future leaders, and our scholarship will help continue that legacy.” Patterson was formally introduced to Palm Beach State in 2019 when he was invited to headline the College’s annual STEAM luncheon, a signature event designed to increase scholarships, business partnerships and

internship opportunities to support students pursuing science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics fields. After learning more about the state’s oldest public community college, he felt compelled to step up to help. “I am stunned by Palm Beach State,” Patterson told the luncheon attendees. He called the College a gem in Palm Beach County. “What they have done is really impressive. I can tell these are smart people.” PBSC President Ava L. Parker, J.D., said the scholarship bearing the name of one of the world’s most revered authors will help PBSC attract some of the brightest students in the county. “Having James Patterson as a friend of the College speaks volumes for the progress that we have made in elevating Palm Beach State College to a level never before seen in the community college landscape,” Parker said. “Mr. Patterson now has a vested interest in what we are doing to further the academic mission of the College, and we look forward to continuing that relationship.” Considerations for the James Patterson Presidential Scholarship begin during the current academic year, with the first scholarships to be awarded for PBSC’s Fall 2020 term.

MacMullen inducted into the FCSAA Hall of Fame

Palm Beach State College Professor of Music Michael MacMullen is now a member of the Florida College System Activities Association (FCSAA) Hall of Fame. MacMullen was inducted for his outstanding achievements and excellence in music and for his contributions to FCSAA during the 2020 FCSAA Winter Music Symposium at Florida Southern College. “Receiving the award this year had special meaning to me because I had come full circle,” MacMullen said. “It was 26 years ago when I first attended a symposium as an observer, and it was at Florida Southern. I finished my term as music division rep in May of 2019, so this year I got to have fun at the symposium, doing what I love best – making music.” MacMullen received the Hall of Fame award for the music division alongside his friend and colleague Alan Gerber, a music professor and chair of the Music Theatre Division of Arts and Entertainment at Valencia College. “Receiving the award alongside Alan was the icing on the cake to top off my many years of supporting this event for our students,” MacMullen said. At PBSC, MacMullen has been the Music Department chair since 2005 and the Music Cluster Chair since 2001. He has directed several musical theatre shows and has been an accompanist, choral director and professional singer in the greater Palm Beach area and beyond. After attending as an observer in 1996, MacMullen took a group of PBSC students to the symposium the next year

Edition 450 - 5

and has participated ever since. Through his long and distinguished service at the symposium, he has served an integral role in the coordination and success of the event. In 1998, he became coordinator of the Student Artist Competition and served in the position for six years. He began his tenure as Music Division state advisor on the FCSAA Executive Committee in 2010 and held this position for nine years, helping to shape the division into the success it is today. MacMullen studied music (voice/ piano/conducting) at California State University, Fullerton, received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre Performance at California State University, Long Beach, and his two master’s degrees in Choral Conducting and Performance/Music Theatre Direction at Arizona State University. He is a long standing member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) and the American Choral Directors Association. He also served several years as vice president of student auditions for his local NATS chapter. MacMullen received the Hall of Fame award during the FCSAA 2020 Winter Music Symposium, which was held Jan. 30 – Feb. 1. MacMullen was one of 10 inducted to the Hall of Fame. The FCSAA is the statewide association that regulates, coordinates and promotes intercollegiate activities in Athletics, Brain Bowl, Forensics, Model United Nations, Music, Student Government, Student Publications, and Theatre for the Florida College System.

Creating Some Sweet Moments, Unforgettable Memories at Dads, Daughters Dinner & Dance Emma Leon was all dolled up on Saturday in her best dress. Her hair was done and sure enough, the 6-yearold was sporting a princess tiara. As you can imagine, she danced the afternoon away with a date she knew for certain will love her forever. That was the beauty - and, perhaps, part of the vast appeal - of a date night, or in Saturday’s case a date afternoon, with Dad. Emma was among 175 girls, ages 6 to 16, who took part in the Inaugural Father/Daughter Dinner & Dance on board the Grand Celebration Cruise Line at the Port of Palm Beach. Present were at least 150 fathers and father figures, including Riviera Beach Mayor Ronnie Felder. The intent of the event - which was hosted jointly by the Boys and Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County and KOP Mentoring Network - was to create an opportunity for fathers and daughters to spend quality time together as well as provide cherished memories for the

participants. Several of the dads I know have a hard time bonding with daughters, so this was a great opportunity for them to spend some quality time together. It also was a time for fathers to show their special little girls how a gentleman is supposed to treat them when they start dating. It ripped my heart apart when I learned that more than a half of the girls were not accompanied by their dads. Worse, several do not have an uncle, grandpa or any other positive male figure in their lives. Thanks to the Delray Beach and West Palm Beach police officers who quickly stepped up and saved the afternoon for these girls, many whom are among our homeless ranks. “It is my pleasure to do this for these young ladies,” Delray Beach police officer Theodore Williams said. “Anything to make their day.” Pine Grove Elementary student Adelyn Davidson had been looking

forward to the big day all week, her dad, Shane Davidson, said. I felt so special dancing with the 9-year-old and all her classmates, who had me glued to the dance floor. “She loves dancing and she loves being with her friends,” said Davidson, who had to rearrange his schedule to accommodate his princess. “I don’t mind doing it. Everything we do is for the kids,” he added. After an all-you-can-eat spread of pizza and other kiddies’ specialties, along with cookies, cake and punch, the party was moved from the dining room to the sun deck where a disc jockey entertained them. Organizers hope the event, which was a part of the Boys & Girls Club’s new father figure initiative, will help father figures understand their importance in the development of a child. “This is an amazing opportunity to help the children in our community while helping the fathers and father figures that don’t always feel welcome

to participate in the lives of children,” said Shamus Gordon, a former Club director who spearheaded the event. “It’s been proven [that] a child needs the guidance of a father figure as much as a mother figure. This Father-Daughter Dinner & Dance is just the first step to help build stronger families and healthier children.” The event was sponsored in part, thanks to the support from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County and generous donations from Nozzle Nolen, Tropical Shipping, the Riviera Beach CDC, the Kiwanis Club and Jack and Jill of America, Inc. A highlight for me was when a girl, about 9, asked chaperone Earl Blanchard if the punch was for the kids. When Blanchard said yes, with the innocence of a child she responded, “I feel so fortunate, I feel rich today.” Now, that’s what Saturday’s Dinner & Dance was all about.

POSITIVE LIVING By Robert J. Tamasy

The Challenge Of Doing Business–By Faith Faith is an interesting concept – and a challenging reality. When we are involved in a worship service, faith seems so simple. We sing songs that affirm our faith in God. We might repeat faith declarations that date back centuries. We hear uplifting spiritual messages that remind us of biblical promises we can embrace by faith. But then Monday arrives, and we find ourselves back in the workplace. How simple is faith then? Over the years I have encountered many people who express and demonstrate much faith in spiritual settings, but seem to abandon their beliefs in the so-called “secular world.” Some church traditions have even taught a divide between the sacred and the secular, but the Scriptures make no such claim. In fact, Colossians 3:23 boldly instructs,

February 28 - March 5, 2020

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord not for men.”Faith is not to be confined to one day a week. But let’s be real. In the midst of business setbacks, whether failing to secure an important contract, not being able to close a much-anticipated sale, struggling to meet a deadline, or failing to receive a much-desired promotion, our faith in God and His direction might not seem as strong as we thought it was while in a safe, worshipful environment. Then we face a dilemma, because “faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by deeds, is dead,” as James 2:17 states. When I think of people of faith, one who comes to mind is George Muller (1805-1898), who cared for more than 10,000 orphans over his lifetime, and

established 117 schools which offered Christian education to more than 120,000 children. What stands out to me is not only the Christian-based humanitarian work that consumed his life, but also the strong faith that guided his actions every day. Citing the impact of faith on his work, Muller wrote, “Trusting the Lord for the supply of my temporal needs keeps me from anxious thoughts like, ‘Will my salary last and will I have enough for next month?’ In this freedom I am able to say, ‘My Lord is not limited. He knows my present situation, and He can supply all I need.’ Rather than causing anxiety, living by faith in God alone keeps my heart in perfect peace.” Is this the attitude you take when thinking about your daily needs,

www.bocaratontribune.com

whether at work, in your family, or for other personal matters? Maybe it will help for us to consider some of the things the Bible tells us about what could be termed “working faith”: What faith really is. Faith in God, His direction and provision is not tangible, but rather a confident assurance, or earnest expectation, that what He has promised will be fulfilled. “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”(Hebrews 11:1). Another translation of this verse states, “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” Another passage, Romans8:24, elaborates by connecting faith to hope: “But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have?”

Boca Ration Regional Hospital’s 58th Anniversary Ball On Saturday I attended the BRRH 58th Anniversary Ball at the Boca Raton Resort. A sold out crowd enjoyed an evening of entertainment with Rod Stewart, was introduced to the new Baptist Hospital partners, shared info that the hospital raised 3.5 million dollars at this event and enjoyed a fabulous dinner.

The Gift Of A Teachable Spirit My friend, Larry, was being interviewed for a position to run the operations of a large, privately held, family business. The owners said they also wanted him to mentor the CEO’s son, with the intent that the young man would one day preside over the corporation. During the interview, the executive’s son pointedly asked Larry, “Can you train me to eventually lead this organization?” Larry responded honestly, “That is up to you. If you have a teachable spirit, I can train you to run this business.” Apparently, the company ownership liked the response, because Larry got the job. The world of business is littered with the failures of men and women that had great potential – possessing the intelligence and skill sets to perform well in their jobs, yet lacking one important quality: Teachability. When someone is unwilling to learn, assuming they already know everything there is to know, or acting obstinate and refusing to receive much-needed, well-intended instruction, predictably their likelihood of success is very low. This applies to mentoring relationships as well. A mentor can only help the person he or she is mentoring if that individual is receptive to the insights and experience the mentor wishes to offer. Someone that is unwilling to learn, even if it means humbling oneself enough to be corrected as well as instructed, is poor leadership material. The Bible speaks about this often, especially in the book of Proverbs. For instance, Proverbs 9:8 says, “Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you, reprove a wise man and he will love you.” Many people, for whatever reason, become “stiff-necked” when someone

attempts to teach them. Someone that is teachable, however, remains receptive to what they can learn from others, even their peers. Another passage states, “He who heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray” (Proverbs 10:17). A teachable person appreciates learning about how to improve and overcome weaknesses. Yet another verse points out a desire to learn reflects growing wisdom: “Wise men store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool invites ruin” (Proverbs 10:15). Being teachable is a characteristic of established leaders, as well younger people striving to advance in their careers. One familiar verse describes requirements for leadership: “Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach” (1 Timothy 3:2). However, a different translation of the same passage expresses it this way: “Therefore, an elder must be blameless… stable, sensible, respectable, hospitable to strangers, and teachable.” One more passage offers a similar sentiment: “Which of you is a wise and well-instructed man? Let him prove it by a right life with conduct guided by a wisely teachable spirit” (James 3:13). When looking for younger leaders in whom to invest your time, or to cultivate for future leadership, first look for those with a teachable spirit. Your investment of time and energy will prove to be far more fruitful. At the same time, we should never lose sight of the importance of remaining teachable ourselves. We are never too old, or too accomplished, to learn.

Woman Killed After Jeep Plunges into Boynton Intracoastal A 36-year-old Lake Worth Beach woman was killed after the jeep she was driving jumped a curb and plunged into the Intracoastal Waterway in Boynton Beach Saturday night. The crash happened shortly before 9:15 p.m. as Lola-Anne Thompson was driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee east on Casa Loma Boulevard south access road along the Intracoastal Waterway, according to Boynton Beach police. She made a sharp right turn approximately 40 feet west of the Two Georges building and continued until it ended in the water between Two Georges and Banana Boat restaurant, witnesses told police. “Things like that don’t normally happen. I thought if anything somebody jumped in, never realizing it was a car with someone in it,” nearby resident Audrey Gavala told WPBF-Ch 25. As the jeep was sinking, a bystander and a police officer attempted to rescue Thompson but once the door

was opened, the car quickly sank to the bottom with her inside. “Knowing someone was trapped in the car, I’m sure it was very difficult trying to get out,” Gavala told the TV station. Another video shows the crews from the Boynton Beach Police and Fire department trying to pull Thompson out of the Jeep. Gavala, who was watching the divers, said this accident is shocking because of the time it happened. “Especially since it was still early. It wasn’t like it was (2 a.m.) and nobody was here, because there were cars all over the place,” Gavala said. Rescue workers transported Thompson to Bethesda Memorial Hospital, where she died from her injuries. Anyone who has further information pertaining to the crash is asked to call Traffic Homicide Investigator Sunny Surjabally or Traffic Homicide Investigator Lawrence Rini at 561-7426853.

Celine Persuad and Joeseph Burgese elected next FAU Student Body President and Vice President

From being the Student Body Vice President last year to being involved in greek life throughout her college career at Florida Atlantic University, junior Celine Persuad was unofficially elected as the university's next Student Body President, along with newly elected Vice President, Joseph Burgese, who is also apart of greek life, on Thursday, Feb. 27. While the results of the election are still unofficial, as votes are still being looked at for accuracy, Persuad and Burgese won by five votes over their opponents, juniors Alex Zand and Naya Diaz, with the number of voters for Persuad and Burgese being 1,615 versus Zand and Diaz’s 1,610, according to FAU’s Supervisor of Elections Dylan Wood. Not only was this year’s Student Body President and Vice President election one of the closest it has ever been at the university, but it also had a larger increase in student voting than last year. According to FAU’s student news and organization website, Owl Central, the results show a 10 percent increase of students taking a majority of classes at FAU’s Boca Raton campus, 16 percent more than last year, 35 percent at the Jupiter campus, which was a 103 percent increase than last year, and on the Broward campus, 125 votes were accounted for, more than last year’s 43 votes. “It is with great pleasure that I announce that I have been elected to serve as the next Student Body President

of FAU,” Persuad stated in an Instagram post. “To the student body; thank you to each and every one of you for entrusting us with your vote [and] this next year is for you.” As Persuad outlined throughout her campaign to be more transparent with the FAU student body, expand student safety and even create more opportunities for students to be involved on their campuses, she is also committed to advocating for students and listening to every student’s concerns or needs, according to FAU’s student-operated news publication, the University Press. Despite Zand falling short in the election, he is grateful for the opportunity and the connections that he made, as well as taking every lesson he learned throughout the campaign process for the future, according to himself. “Running for Student Body President at Florida Atlantic University has been one of the most rewarding experiences that I’ve had the opportunity to do,” Zand said. “Losing by five votes, yet getting over 1,600 students to believe in myself and my vision for the student body is something I will always remember.” Also in her Instagram Post, Persaud thanked “her fellow candidate,” as she put it, and even described indirectly that the passion Zand has for the student body is “inspiring” and is “excited” to see all other things that will be done to make “FAU a better place.”

FAU Set to Celebrate 2020 President’s Gala Florida Atlantic University is set to celebrate its ninth annual gala on Saturday, April 4 at 7 p.m. in the Martin F. and Jane Greenberg Foundation Tower of FAU Stadium at its Boca Raton campus. Spread over three levels of the stadium, the gala will feature gourmet dining, a full open bar, fireworks, live entertainment, auctions, photo-ops and more. The 2020 gala will highlight the Schmidt College of Medicine and will showcase talented students and celebrate the sciences. “We look forward to highlighting our world-class medical school

while raising funds to support students in all academic disciplines,” said FAU President John Kelly. “Scholarship donors are making a truly meaningful investment in our future by giving deserving Owls the opportunity to realize their potential and prepare for successful careers.” Seven sponsorship levels are available: presidential- level sponsor ($100,000-plus); diamond-level sponsor ($50,000-plus); platinum-level sponsor ($25,000-plus); gold-level sponsor ($15,000-plus); silver-level sponsor ($10,000-plus); bronze-level sponsor ($5,000-plus); and crystal-level sponsor ($2,500-plus).

Dungy Shares During STEAM Luncheon Tony Dungy, NFL Hall of Fame coach and New York Times bestselling author, described the characteristics of great leaders and the keys to success to a crowd of more than 650 Feb. 20 as the featured guest speaker at Palm Beach State College Foundation’s 8th annual STEAM luncheon. “As a leader, you have to know where you are going and that’s going to help you take other people there,” Dungy said. Dungy, who led the Indianapolis Colts to a Super Bowl win in 2006, has been developing his leadership skills since the start of his coaching career in 1980. “You also must lead people not by pushing them but by bringing them with you,” he told the audience. “Whether I was the quarterback on the middle school team or student council president or head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, it was still the same thing. I know what my goals are, and what my vision is but how do I now get people to follow me. That is the most important question.” Dungy not only spoke about leadership and mentoring but also fatherhood, football and education during the sold-out event, which was moderated by Emmy award-winning sports anchor Keli Ferguson and presented by Bank of America in the Kravis Center for Performing Arts Cohen Pavilion banquet room. Its walls adorned with images of a gigantic football stadium thanks to the leadership of south Florida businesswoman and philanthropist Yvonne Boice, who has been chairing the event since its inception. When wanting followers, he shared the biggest challenges he and other leaders face. “Not everyone is going to agree with you,” Dungy said. “You have to be a salesman. Your players might not have the same thoughts as you do. However, I knew I didn’t want to motivate them with fear. I wanted them to know that I knew what I was doing and that I really cared about them. You always want those two things to come back to their minds.” Dungy also mentioned that you must be steadfast and persistent and remember that it’s okay to say you don’t have all the answers. Fatherhood has also changed his perspective on leadership. Dungy has 10 children, with his oldest about to turn 35 years old and his youngest age 4. “Whether you are a professional football coach or a dad at home, you’re trying to get the best out of everyone and help them be the best they can be. And everyone is different. That is the one thing you must learn. Whether it’s 53 players or 10 kids, each one of them clicks a little differently, and I must figure that out. Coaching was good training for that because you’re doing the same thing.” Dungy also learned that a career can’t become more important than family, something that Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach Chuck Noll taught him. “We had what he called Family Saturdays which meant at practice you always brought your kids. My kids were there all the time, and I instituted that same practice when I went to the Indianapolis Colts.” Dungy admits that it can be challenging for some, especially for the mother or father who is a workaholic. However, he says the most important thing to remember is just to spend time with your children. “It’s hard especially for the men because we want to provide for our family and make sure they have everything. However, it’s

www.bocaratontribune.com

not what we can buy for them but the time we can spend with them.” Dungy gave an example of this right after he moved to Indianapolis. While he still had boxes to unload, he stopped to play a baseball game with his 10-year-old son, Eric, because he was fidgety and wanted to do something. He and Eric made a ball of tape and used a broomstick for a bat because all his toys were still in boxes. Years later, he asked him of all the cool things about him being his dad what he thought was the coolest. “He had been to playoff games and met Randy Moss and got to do all these things that most kids would only dream of doing and being on tv. And, he said the coolest thing was when he beat me 28 to 3 in that baseball game.” Dungy also shared a conversation he had with PBSC student Luiz Padredi that revealed the importance of the PBSC STEAM luncheon. Padredi, who was in attendance, had a dream of going to college, but he didn’t have the financial means to do it. He worked two and a half years before he came to Palm Beach State. Now a student with a 4.0 GPA in biomedical engineering, he told Dungy he almost didn’t come back this year because he wouldn’t have had the money to pay for everything. Luckily, he got in touch with the PBSC Foundation and was able to obtain a scholarship. “What if we weren’t there to help people who had these kinds of dreams and abilities,” Dungy said. “Wouldn’t it be a shame for a 4.0 student to say I can’t come back because of finances. Your participation here allows PBSC to do what it does best which is to develop leaders – something that our country needs.” Dungy also expressed how excited he was to partner with PBSC because the College shared the same values as his dad, Wilbur, who grew up in a small town in Michigan and had a dream of going to college. With limited financial opportunities, Wilbur decided to go to a community college, where he earned an associate degree before going on to earn a Ph.D. in biology from the University of Michigan. He also became the first African American professor in the junior college system in Michigan. “It was all because of that community college,” Dungy said. “He met people there that fostered that idea of growing and learning and becoming a leader.” At the event, PBSC President Ava L. Parker, J.D. also thanked Boice who spoke about her role as chair of the event. “Eight years ago, when I accepted this role it would have been impossible to envision the impact this community gathering would have on so many lives. Now as I reflect on our achievements, I feel so honored to have witnessed the evolution of an idea which continues to broaden and grow. I am confident that the STEAM initiative will expand its influence for the next decade in ways I can only image.” The STEAM Luncheon is PBSC’s signature event to increase scholarships, business partnerships and internship opportunities to support students pursuing science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics fields. This year, the College also celebrated its achievements in enrollment, completion and other areas that have transformed the lives of students and strengthened the community.

The future is bright for Christian higher education, according to a prominent scholar who wrote the book on the American university. Dr. George Marsden, an emeritus professor of history at the University of Notre Dame and author of “The Soul of the American University,” shared his high regard for Christian liberal arts colleges and universities during his lecture to students in the Frederick M. Supper Honors Program. “There are places like this one that seem to be thriving and, specifically, thriving intellectually,” Marsden said. “It’s a huge renaissance in Christian higher education. In a place like this, you’re not sacrificing anything in the quality of education.” Marsden, a visiting scholar, spoke to graduate School of Ministry students about the future of the church in the U.S. and discussed revivalist pastor Jonathan Edwards with history students. Marsden is an expert on Edwards, evangelicals and evangelicalism. In 2016, he delivered the President’s Distinguished Scholar Lecture on the enduring popular-

ity of “Mere Christianity” by C.S. Lewis. Liberal arts universities foster cross-disciplinary conversations between scholars who are serious about their faith, Marsden said. At major research universities, scholars only speak to others within their disciplines. Marsden acknowledged a “verifiable prejudice” against scholars who say that they’re evangelical. Anti-intellectual Christians reinforce the secular stereotype, he said. However, Christian colleges and universities offer the benefits of an intentional community that values high-level thinking, Marsden said. For example, PBA’s honors program teaches students to be confident in what they believe while being humble enough to listen to the ideas of people with radically different perspectives, Marsden said. “Christian higher education is having a real impact on a good many people,” he said. “There is a need for salt and light. You can be a model people want to imitate.”

PBA Basketball Winning Streak Snapped Against Lynn

The Palm Beach Atlantic men's basketball team played its final road game of the regular season on Wednesday night against the Lynn Fighting Knights. After winning their last two games on last-second shots, PBA (20-7, 13-6 SSC) was in a similar predicament again. Trailing by three with 16 seconds remaining, the Sailfish got three looks from 3-point land, but couldn't get them to drop. PBA's nine-game winning streak was snapped, losing to Lynn (11-14, 7-12 SSC) 76-73. Dan Largey led the 'Fish with 20 points with four 3-pointers. Malek Barber followed with 14 points and nine rebounds. Jules Jasmin and De'Ondre Jackson finished with 11 points each while Darius Nunn has 10 points with six assists. PBA did not have its best night on offense as it was held to 39 percent from the field, including a 35-percent performance in the second half. The Sailfish also shot just 27 percent from 3-point range on 26 attempts. Lynn won the rebounding battle, 32-26. The hosts were knocking down shots at a high rate of efficiency to start the game. Lynn led 25-20 through the first 10 minutes of action. The Fighting Knights were not afraid to let it fly from deep in the first half. Starting at the eightminute mark in the period, five of the next six made field goals from Lynn were from beyond the arc. With two and a half minutes left, PBA trailed 44-34; however,

it was able to cut into the deficit before halftime. The 'Fish ended the half on a 5-0 run, all coming from the free throw line, to make it a 44-39 game at the break. Lynn attempted 19 threes in the first half and it converted on 42 percent of them. Jules Jasmin led the 'Fish with 11 points in the period. The Sailfish wasted little time tying the game in the second period, A 3-pointer by Jackson tied the game at 46, three minutes into the half. Lynn answered back though as the Fighting Knights regained the lead and consistently held a two-possession advantage for the majority of the second half. PBA made its final pushed with four and a half minutes remaining. The 'Fish trailed by eight, but a layup by Jackson started a small run for the Sailfish that got them back into the game. Two free throws from Largey down the stretch made it a one possession game with 47 seconds left. PBA forced a turnover on the defensive end, but it was unable to sink that last bucket it needed. PBA's defense improved in the second half. The 'Fish forced 13 Lynn turnovers in the period and held them to 23 percent from three. The Sailfish wrap up regular season play against No. 5 Florida Southern on Saturday. The game at Rubin Arena will start at 4 p.m. PBA will be honoring its seniors before tip-off.
