“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 Boca Raton City Council Welcomes Phi Beta Lambda Students Land Mayotte, Names Singer “Deputy State Awards Mayor”

After her landslide victory, Monica Mayotte was officially sworn in at Boca Raton City Hall on April 2 alongside Councilman Jeremy Rodgers, who was re-elected for another three-year term after his victory over Kim Do in last month’s election. The crowd packed the Council Chambers on Monday to welcome newcomer Mayotte, and thank Councilman Robert Weinroth, who did not seek re election as he has his eyes set on the the Palm Beach Board of Commissioners race later this year. The District 4 seat is being vacated by Steven Abrams. District 4 covers the southern part of Palm Beach County and spans municipalities from Boca Raton to South Palm Beach. “Now the real work begins,” said an enthusiastic Mayotte. One of the first order of business for the new Council Members was to name a new Deputy Mayor, to fill the spot of current Deputy Mayor Rodgers. Rodgers gave his vote of confidence to Councilmember Scott Singer, Mayor Susan Haynie seconded. Councilmember Andrea Levine O’Rourke disagreed and made a substitute motion and nominated Rodgers. Her reasoning was simple: with both Haynie and Weinroth leaving city council to run for County Commission having continuity and stability would be critical. Council Member Mayotte sec-

onded the motion. After Rodgers declined the idea, stating the race took a toll on him and his family and he would rather just focus on the task of being a council member, the motion by Council Member O’Rourke failed 3-2 and the original motion was back on the table. After a short vote, the Council voted 5-0 in favor of Singer to be the new Deputy Mayor of Boca Raton. The new council had a few more nominations to go before the meeting could be adjourned. Council Member O’Rourke was elected chair of the Community Redevelopment Agency, while Mayotte was elected the vice-chair. Mayor Susan Haynie and Council Member Jeremy Rodgers were selected as the voting members in the Transportation Planning Association, with Council Members O’Rourke, and Singer as the alternate votes. Council Member Mayotte was elected as the voting member for the Palm Beach County League of Cities, with Rodgers as the alternate vote. Rodgers was also selected to the Interlocal Plan Review Amendment Committee. The Boca Raton City Council will meet for the first time with its new members on April 10, at 6pm.

Two Palm Beach State College students will compete on the national level after winning top awards at the Phi Beta Lambda state competition. Patreace Scharschmidt won firstplace in the Entrepreneurship Concepts, Management Concepts and Retail Management categories. Joshua Deese won second-place in the Entrepreneurship Concepts category during the event held in Orlando March 22-25. Hundreds of students from colleges and universities, including eight from PBSC, participated in competitive activities in numerous categories. The top two winners in each category are now eligible to compete at the national competition that will be held in Baltimore June 23-26. Phi Beta Lambda is the collegiate division of Future Business Leaders of America. Scharschmidt, an aspiring lawyer who will graduate in May with her Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Supervision and Management with a concentration in entrepreneurship, said the experience would not have been possible without the encouragement of Dr. Roger Blair, her professor and the club’s advisor. “He encouraged me to challenge myself and give it a shot. I didn’t

really know what to expect. I didn’t think I would place. To have a mentor and someone to push you is great to have,” she said. “Participating in the competition was a great experience to have in college. “It’s really a great organization that will help you grow career wise and as a person.” Deese, who is pursuing an A.A. degree with plans to transfer to a university to complete his bachelor’s degree in public policy, has been active in FBLA since he was in middle school. He said it is an honor to be able to put his knowledge to the test and now advance to the national level. A budding entrepreneur, he launched Beatster, an up-andcoming music stream platform app, in January 2015. “I feel fortunate that I was able to go into this competition and rather than rely on things I’ve learned in school, I was able to take what I’ve learned through practices and experience as an entrepreneur and use that in the competition. I feel great about it.” Blair said he is proud of the students. “It does mean a lot because we’re competing against people from universities. It is quite competitive.”

FAU Announces Summer Lineup for Theater and Music Florida Atlantic University’s Department of Theatre and Dance in the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters has announced its summer lineup for Festival Repertory Theatre 2018. “Easy Virtue,” a comedy by Noel Coward will run from Friday, June 8 through Saturday, June 23; the musical “Cabaret” will run from Friday, July 6 to Sunday, July 22; and Big Band Hits from the Golden Age will be presented on Saturday, July 14 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, July 15 at 2 p.m. The plays are in Studio One Theatre and the big band concert in in the University Theatre, 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton campus. Tickets are $25 and will go on sale in May at www.fauevents.com or by calling 800-564-9539. Group tickets are on sale now at 561-297-6124. From the incomparable wit of Noel Coward, “Easy Virtue” is a breezy, wonderful splash of comedy as a young Englishman marries a glamorous, modern young woman and brings her home to meet his parents. Sparks fly as his new bride, Larita, arrives like a jolt from the future to celebrate a woman’s right to lead her own life. Originally produced when Coward was riding a wave of success, “Easy Virtue” has enjoyed many successful revivals over the years and is a perfect

summer ride in celebration of the individual spirit. FAU’s production is directed by Jean Louis Baldet. “Cabaret,” the winner of multiple Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Revival, is a raucous musical that comes roaring to life in the infamous Kit Kat Klub where some of Broadway’s most memorable songs spill out onto the stage. While the emcee promises to help us forget all our troubles, Germany begins its descent into hell and we are reminded what happens when we bury our heads in the sand and forget to love our neighbors. Lee Soroko is the director. The big band concert features the Florida Wind Symphony Jazz Orchestra, a professional ensemble-in-residence at FAU. The band will present an evening of hits from the 30s, 40s and 50s, including authentic music of big band sensations like Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman. “Festival Rep,” now in its 19th year, will once again feature professional equity actors working alongside FAU’s finest graduate students in their last production before they graduate and enter the world of professional theater. For more information on Festival Rep, visit www.fau.edu/festivalrep.

EDITORIAL By C. Ron Allen

Setting the Record Straight Some 97 Years Later I must admit, for many years I subscribed to the notion that the 1921 killings of more than 3,000 in the thriving oil town of Tulsa, Oklahoma, was a riot. However, it was not until I saw a recent reenactment of life in the most affluent black community in America, that I declared it as a massacre. I spent an evening at Halle Balbuena’s play, Black Wall Street, in West Palm Beach as a cast of 26 community actors brilliantly portrayed the story of how envious locals razed the Greenwood district to the ground in 16 hours. (The acting was good. The singing, however, was superb.) It remains the largest massacre of nonmilitary Americans in this country, and a must see, especially for our students who were deprived of such rich history. The catastrophe was so horrible, many chose to forget it and it was omitted from textbooks and even oral histories for decades. This 90-minute production chronicled the period between 1915 and 1921 and was centered on the town, also known

as Little Africa, home to a strong black middle and upper class, schools, hospitals, and theaters. Once regarded as a mini version of Beverly Hills, Greenwood boasted a variety of thriving businesses that were very successful up until the night of May 31, 1921 when domestic terrorism turned the American dream into a nightmare – claiming the greatest economic movement achieved by blacks. The flashpoint was Dick Rowland, a 19-year-old local shoe shine man who went downtown Tulsa to take advantage of the Memorial Day weekend high foot traffic to make some money shining shoes. Rowland needed to go to the bathroom and the only one that blacks were allowed to use was on the fifth floor of a department store next door. He was about to breach an unwritten rule of Jim Crow: riding with a white girl by himself. As Rowland rode the elevator up, the newly hired white girl who was the operator, yelled at him. He handled his business and was returning down when

the elevator stopped just short of being flushed with the floor. Rowland tripped while getting out. He reached out to grab something to break his fall and grabbed the girl’s hand. That was a no, no. She screamed for help and Rowland ran back to Greenwood. A local newspaper ran a fake story that Rowland tried to rape a white elevator operator. The newspaper also ran an editorial that a hanging was planned for that night. Rowland was arrested, and black World War I vets swarmed the courthouse to prevent a lynching. The crowd swelled on both sides and in an apparent scuffle between a sheriff ’s deputy and one of the armed black men a shot rang out. All hell broke loose. The white mob torched the buildings and s mall airplanes dropped cocktail bombs in the community. Armed men also barred firefighters from putting out the blazes. In the aftermath, more than 600 successful businesses were lost. Among them were 21 churches, 21 restaurants, 30 grocery stores, two movie theaters, a hospital, a bank, a

post office, libraries, schools, law offices, a half dozen private airplanes and even a bus system. Following the tragedy, very little was said about it for more than 50 years. Even today, Black Wall Street is missing in many textbooks and studies of American history. I did an informal survey of seven local adults and three high school students and only four of the adults had heard about the incident. T he residents of Palm Beach County owe much gratitude to Balbuena and her team for introducing this production to them. Reflecting on Saturday night’s play, I am convinced that our marginalized students have been socially conditioned in schools when they learn about the Tulsa riot. When our teachers taught us that what happened in Greenwood was a riot and not a massacre and continue to do so, they are promoting fake news to our children. It is due time we set the record straight. It must start with us!

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

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!

Edition 359- 7

Boca Raton-Based TEN Spring Water on the Path to Becoming National Brand By: Michael Demyan Jose Fernandez is on his way to making his Boca Raton-based TEN Spring Water a national brand. It all started in 2011 when Fernandez sold his previous business and thought about what his next step in life would be. A friend introduced him to alkaline waters for their health benefits, but he was not a big fan of how they tasted, so he started to research the market. After a year of research, TEN Spring Water was officially launched in the summer of 2013. “Most people don’t make it past year one or two. I’ve made it past year four [as the company’s CEO] last year and now I’m in year number five so, something must be okay,” Fernandez said, followed by a laugh. Fernandez said that one of the biggest things that makes TEN different than other alkaline waters is that it is sourced directly from natural springs, rather than using tap water. “We only use natural spring sources,” he said. “So imagine when you go and buy bottled water that says ‘spring water.’ That basically means it comes straight from a spring, into the plant, goes through filtration and into the bottle. So what I’m doing is basically taking that same spring through filtration, adding a patented pH formula of two minerals and raising the pH of that spring water to 10.0.” Currently, TEN water comes

from three different springs, but Fernandez already has plans to use more as the company continues to grow. As it becomes closer to becoming a national brand, numerous professional athletes, such as Carolina Panthers defensive end Mario Addison, Los Angeles Clippers center Willie Reed and UFC World Champion Amanda Nunes, have even endorsed the water. The best part, Fernandez said, is that they do not even approach the athletes. It is the athletes who are coming to them. They have found the water on store shelves and personally want to endorse it. Simply getting the water to those shelves was not an easy task either. “To prove that you have a brand to get Publix to take you on, you have to go through a proof of concept to make sure you really have a brand,” Fernandez said. “Publix is not a company that takes a chance on a small company, with a brand new product.” Since then, Publix began selling one gallon jugs toward the end of last year, which has quickly become TEN’s biggest seller. The water is also sold online as well as through stores such as Food Lion. Fernandez, who has called Boca Raton his home for 24 years, is also going after more major chains across the country, including H-E-B, Kroger and Meijer. “Once you start drinking this water, you really don’t want to drink any other brand,” Fernandez said.

Honor Your Doctor Luncheon I attended the Annual Honor Your Doctor luncheon at the Boca West Country Club. Several prominent Doctor’s were honored and received awards for their service to patients. A very large crowd of many familiar faces of Boca was in attendance.

By Rick Boxx

Understanding The Times My friend, Roger, recently returned from a six-week Graduate program at a major business college. A comment by one of his professors caused Roger to rethink his personal views on how to shape the culture in his business. A strong believer in having specific, written values for his business, Roger’s thinking began to change after his professor’s comment that “values are not the solution.” This reminded Roger that if values are not lived out, these unpracticed values can potentially damage the business more than not having verbalized values at all. As Roger pondered the simple statement, he realized that values must be translated into behaviors, they are meaningless, not worth the paper on which they are written. Sadly, we see this type of dualistic thinking manifested too much in contemporary society. People boldly profess certain values with their words, but their actions show little evidence that they truly believe the ideals they claim to embrace. A passage in the Bible addresses this: James 2:17 teaches,“faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” This does not necessarily deny the existence of one’s faith – or values. It does say that apart from being lived out and demonstrated by how we conduct ourselves in every area of life, including our work, values we express will have little if any impact in our companies or those with whom we interact every day. Many businesses have written mission or purpose statements, but some companies have also produced values statements that they display in prominent areas and discuss periodically. This serves to remind everyone, from the CEO to part-time

workers, of the values that serve as a foundation for how the organization operates and how each individual is expected to represent it. In the process, this establishes a corporate culture for guiding decisions and behavior. Often we can trace corporate values to practices established from the time the business was created. Such values, however, may change or be lost over time unless leaders affirm them consistently, express them in written form, and then practice them consistently. For followers of Christ, values we embrace and demonstrate should be rooted in the teachings of the Bible. For instance, “in everything, do to others as you would have them do to you” (Matthew 7:12). Is this a value that remains in the forefront of everyone’s mind in the company, or is it practiced only when it benefits the company’s goals? Does everyone emphasize honesty and integrity in all business dealings, even when doing so could jeopardize closing a sale or finalizing a deal? Here is an example of what the Scriptures say about that: “The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in men who are truthful” (Proverbs 12:22). We must remember the adage, “talk is cheap.” What enables us to stand out as genuine, fruitful ambassadors of Jesus Christ is living and conducting business in a manner consistent with what we claim to believe. A familiar motto warns us, “Unless you talk lines up with your walk, the less said the better.” As Roger learned, values are important in business, but not nearly as important as encouraging – and teaching – your team to behave according to those values.

Local Girls Raise Money for Stoneman Douglas Victims Fund with Lemonade Stand By: Bryanna Basillo February’s massacre at Stoneman Douglas High School which took the lives of 17 students and staff members, has captivated the nation as the deadliest high school shooting in American history. With the Stoneman Douglas Victims' Fund on GoFundMe raising 6 million dollars as of today and the creation of March For Our Lives, a gun reform movement which has gathered worldwide support, the Parkland high school has seen people’s efforts of change. Two girls from Boca Raton decided to help the victims in any way they can. “Our neighbors were having a garage sale and my daughters thought it was good idea to have a lemonade stand while the garage sale was going on,” said Karin CarbaughGomez whose two 7 and 8-year-old daughters used their lemonade stand money to donate to the Stoneman Douglas victims fund. Instead of using the money on what many kids would want to spend it on, like a bike or a video game console, they strictly used the money for the victim’s fund. “They got all the supplies together,” said Carbaugh-Gomez. “At that point I sheltered my younger one a bit as far as details go and what exactly happened February 14 in Parkland.” Explaining the tragedy to a 7-year-old and 8-year-old without scaring them was no easy task as CarbaughGomez shares. “I shared with my older one what she thought about donating all the money they got from the lemonade stand,” said Carbaugh-Gomez. “Without any hesitation my older one said absolutely.” “How I told my older one was basically, ‘someone bad came into the school and killed innocent people.’ She was shocked and I tried to make her feel like that wouldn’t happen at her school even though the thing at the forefront of my mind is making sure her school is safe. I didn’t want to April 6 - April 12, 2018

freak her out about going back to her school.” In order to make her daughters feel comfortable Carbaugh-Gomez told them that the different layout of a high school as compared to her elementary school is different and wouldn’t happen at her school. In reality, a uncertain assumption but one that helped her daughter’s nerves. “She calmed down a bit. But I knew that in 3rd grade, the kids would be talking about it and I wanted her to hear it from me instead from other kids.” Carbaugh-Gomez’s younger daughter also agreed to donating the lemonade profits to the victim’s fund although she wasn’t given the details of what exactly happened at Stoneman Douglas. “They were both very willing to share the money. They didn’t throw a tantrum which maybe some young kids would do when wanting the money to buy candy. They thought it was important to donate the money,” said Carbaugh-Gomez. Selling homemade lemonade at a price of $1 a cup on the Sunday after the shooting, sisters Natalia and Livia Gomez of Addison Mizner Elementary School, raised $120 of funds for the victims fund. Some of these funds were raised even after the girls brought the lemonade back inside, neighbors hearing of their efforts to raise money for the victims. “We got a knock on the door, and one of our neighbors wanted to donate, giving us $20 without nothing in return,” said Carbaugh-Gomez. “It was really cool. He didn’t have to do that.” The Carbaugh-Gomez’s did not have any member of their family affected by the shooting, they do however have friends whose kids attend Stoneman Douglas High School, one was even in one of the rooms where a teacher was killed. “Whatever little you feel like you can do, works,” added CarbaughGomez.

SPORTS Owls Top Miami, First Ever Season Series Sweep

By: Jack Rubin

Florida Atlantic baseball defeated Miami 7-4 on Wednesday night, good for the Owls’ first season sweep of the Hurricanes and their third straight win. The Owls improved to 21-8 on the season, nearly identical to last year’s 20-8-1 record after 29, and they knocked Miami down to 12-16. No, it is not football, but a 2-0 mark against the traditional baseball powerhouse is just as impressive. FAU won the first game of the three in Boca Raton on February 28, driven by early hitting and a stellar performance from the bullpen. The Owls clinched the series in Miami with a thrilling 11-9 win back in March, and they finished the job in the sweeping victory on the road last night. The Owls scored three quick runs in the top of the first, notching their first run within the first ten pitches. Tyler Frank opened the game with a secondpitch leadoff double, scoring on a David Miranda RBI single. Frank extended his program-best hitting streak to 24 games. Two following sac-flies put the Owls up 3-0. Coach McCormack described, “We got off to a fast start, which is what we wanted, getting off the bus and getting three runs. We grinded out another couple of runs and I thought the pitching staff did a great job.” Miami reduced FAU’s lead to one in the third inning, but the Owls never trailed en route to a 7-4 final score.

Kevin Abraham and Andru Summerall each hit a home run, and a Pedro Pages single plus an Eric Rivera sac fly accounted for the other Owls runs. Pitching was a combined effort in the win. The Owls used six pitchers as starter Mark Nowatnick handed the ball over to Jordan Poore in the fourth. Poore’s three innings were the longest outing of his career, and he allowed just three baserunners. The two combined for six innings, giving way to the back end of the bullpen. FAU found themselves in a bit of trouble in the bottom of the ninth. The Canes loaded the bases with no outs but after Matt Harris recorded one, closer Zach Schneider was able to work out of the threatening situation to earn his ninth save of the season. All nine Owls reached base, and redshirt senior David Miranda posted the most impressive line with a 3/5 day at the plate. He scored all three times. FAU remains in third place in the C-USA. Though the Owls hold the best overall record, they are a game behind reigning regular season conference champions Southern Mississippi and 1.5 behind Louisiana Tech. The Owls will need improve on last year’s 15-13 record in the final 28 games coming into the second half of the season. Next, they take on Charlotte in a three game home series. The Owls will need to pick up conference wins by the bunches to continue this strong season.

FAU Dance Teams Heads to Nationals

Florida Atlantic University's dance team will pack their bags and head to Daytona Beach, Florida for the 2018 NCA & NDA Collegiate Cheer & Dance National Championships, scheduled for April 5-7. The team will compete in the Team Performance - Division 1-A group, where they will showcase their jazz, pom and hip-hop styles all in one routine. This year will mark the team's third season qualifying for the National Championships. "We are excited to leave for Nationals ranked amongst the top five programs in the Team Performance Division 1A," said Claudia Soto, FAU's head spirit coach. "The team has demonstrated a tremendous work ethic and dedication to this performance, with team captains Madison Fillingham and Susie Rodrigues leading the way. The team is focused to

deliver a performance that will make FAU proud, and our goal is to come home as the best collegiate dance team in the nation." The Owls' dance team is a fixture on the sidelines at FAU athletic events, including football and men's and women's basketball, as well as postseason tournaments and special events. In addition, this year's squad has logged over 500 hours of community service as ambassadors for the University in both the Boca Raton and greater Palm Beach County communities. The annual event can be followed at https://nca.varsity.com/College/Nationals or via social media outlets including Snapchat: NCAcheer | Varsity Spirit, Twitter: @NCAupdates, Instagram: NCAcheer or Facebook: National Cheerleaders Association.
