“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

Scholarship Helps Continue Legacy of Former PBSC Division Chair The way Skip Measelle sees it, his life would not be what it is today were it not for Reuben Aldridge Hale, Jr. “He was a master teacher and gifted artist whose influence and encouragement was pivotal in my career,” said Measelle, one of Hale’s former students who now owns an art studio in West Palm Beach. Hale, who passed away March 23, spent more than three decades at the College as a professor, chairman of the Art Department and chairman of the Division of Humanities. During his tenure from 1961 to 1992, Hale positively influenced not only Measelle’s life but also hundreds of other fine arts students. He helped the College acquire the Lannan Art Museum in Lake Worth, which would later become the Palm Beach Community College Art Museum. He also helped secure a collection of more than 1,000 pieces of artwork from the museum. The building and the artwork had a combined value of $3 million. Hale served as the administrative director of the Duncan Theatre and the PBCC Art Museum, which hosted many art exhibits from local and international artists as well as annual art auctions until it was sold in 1999. Among his most significant contributions was the establishment of a $50,000 endowed scholarship for humanities students. To honor his contributions to the College and his accomplishments as an educator and artist, a memorial will be held at 5 p.m. May 20 at The Beach Club on the Waterfront in Lake Worth. During the event, slideshows will be shown of his life and artwork. Hale held faculty art shows, as well as student shows throughout the years at the College. He also wanted students to be able to learn from the best in the art world. He started an international photography workshops series attracting top-named artists such as Arnold Newman and Cole Weston along with modern art promoter and photographer Alfred Stieglitz who held workshops through

www.bocaratontribune.com

the series.“The best thing an educator can do is to set a person on a path to a better life,” said Edward Kinney, a former student and employee of Hale’s and the former dean of the School of Film and Digital Media at Savannah College of Art and Design. “That includes giving them the tools to do it on their own. That’s what Reuben did for so many of us. His mission was to make us not need him, but to be independent. However, we kept coming back to visit him for re-fortification for nearly a half century.” “He loved it at PBSC and accomplished so much there,” said Hale’s daughter Irma. “He was very proud of that. Every former student that you talk with will tell you how important it was for them to have been at the College with Reuben, the instructors he brought in and the things he accomplished for the College.” It was at this same home he would pass away at 90 years old. Hale, who was originally from Greenwood, Miss., was buried in Odd Fellows Cemetery in Greenwood on March 31. Reuben’s artwork can be viewed at www. reubenhale.com.When Hale wasn’t busy at work, he would be at home transforming his 6,000-square-foot, historic residence in West Palm Beach’s El Cid neighborhood into a showcase for his paintings and sculptures. Originally designed as a duplex, Hale made attractive and innovative improvements to the house over the course of four decades. In addition to the large paintings gracing the walls, his life-size figurative sculptures of women comfortably took up residence. Donations to the Reuben Hale Scholarship can be made at www. palmbeachstate.edu/foundation/makea-gift.aspx. Choose “other” for where to direct the donation and type Reuben Hale Scholarship. Checks should be made payable to Palm Beach State College Foundation, and mailed to 4200 Congress Ave, MS #20, Lake Worth, FL 33461. Please reference the Reuben Hale Scholarship.

Singer Sworn in as Mayor, Special Election Set for August

By: Michael Demyan Deputy Mayor Scott Singer was officially sworn in as the interim mayor of Boca Raton on May 7 in response to Mayor Susan Haynie’s suspension, following the corruption charges that landed her in jail. The Boca Raton City Council unanimously voted the next day to hold a special election on Aug. 28 to fill the position permanently. Singer will serve as mayor until that time, but he has also decided to run for the position. Jeremy Rodgers was also named the interim deputy mayor until the time of the election. The mayoral term is set to end on March 31, 2020, no matter who ends up filling the seat after the election. This situation also means that Singer’s seat on the city council will become vacant, since he has to give it up even if he loses his bid to permanently become the mayor. Singer plans to resign from his seat before the election, which would allow Seat A to also be on the ballot. Currently, the Boca Raton City Council will be operating with four members, rather than the traditional five, until the special election. They do have the ability to appoint a fifth city council member, but they seem to agree that waiting until the election would be the best move. “We just go right to an election and avoid the complication, the extra

May 11 - May 17, 2018

work for the city clerk’s office, the time and energy for taking applications for appointments for one, maybe two, times that someone would be sitting up here,” Councilwoman Andrea O’Rourke said. Rodgers immediately concurred, noting that the transition of a new member while they could simultaneously be running for the seat could pose a bit of an issue. “Having that itself be a piece of the election and look like we’re interference and we’re picking someone, I’d rather the residents pick the person for August,” he said. This does, however, mean that votes coming from city council during this time could end in ties due to the even number. While Singer and the Boca Raton City Council are anticipating the special election plan to move forward, it could actually all be undone if certain events happen in relation to Mayor Susan Haynie. Gov. Rick Scott suspended Haynie from her position as mayor on April 27, three days after her arrest. If Gov. Scott decides to remove the suspension before the special election, Haynie will be allowed to take back her seat. If the suspension is still in place and Boca Raton elects a new mayor in August, Haynie will also still be able to return to her position if she is cleared of the charges against her, which included four felonies and three misdemeanors.

FAU Tech Runway® Reveals its Largest Class Florida Atlantic University’s Tech Runway® hosted its 2018 Launch Competition and Demo Day on Friday, May 10 at the Research Park at FAU, revealing its sixth and largest class, “Venture Class 6.” This annual Launch Competition provides promising startups and talented entrepreneurs in South Florida with an opportunity to join a year-long program that brings the competition winners “best-in-class” instruction, mentoring, resources, networking, assistance raising capital, and other vital programs. The 21 winners of Venture Class 6 were announced during the awards ceremony, with the top seven each receiving a $15,000 check, totaling $105,000 in cash investments. The 21 winners represented community, faculty, and student entrepreneur tracks. This year’s seven cash investment award-winners are: • Contiguity Spatial Solutions: provides customized solutions to businesses in the geospatial field by developing tools and applications using the latest technologies.

SaaS-based software methodology designed to have a radical impact on sales revenue. The SaaS-based application is simple-to-use and allows for a virtual “war room” where the deal team can collaborate, share content and accelerate great ideas into winning strategies. • Extreme Comms Lab: is working to leverage an innovative method of acoustic communication to create a “Wi-Fi”-like network of aquatic sensors that can quickly exchange information in long distances underwater. This communication method will enable the deployment of autonomously-networked underwater modems that can interface to multiple sensors with the potential for early warning pollution detection, real-time water quality monitoring, and measuring and tracking urban pollution. • Interchecks Technologies: provides a payroll marketplace that is designed for the Gig economy. For payers, it is the only platform that offers Gig worker benefits, free payments and free 1099s. For Gig workers, it is the first frictionless tool to manage finances across payers. • Nesvio: is a parent company of TV LAKAY, nesvio Internet, WAHLTV, Holatele, akotele and TeleAfrik, an American subscription-based internet and live streaming cable company with a business model of virtual multichannel video programming distribution (VMVPD) with a receiver.

www.bocaratontribune.com

keting tools and more. Rooster then turns the information in the system around into a client-facing marketplace so clients can use search tools to find and book the best service provider for their needs 24/7. • Zimit: developer of a software platform that efficiently manages the configure-price-quote process for specialized services that small and mid-sized companies must source and procure. The company has developed a software product that is a SaaS, multi-tenant software application, which runs on Amazon Web services using technology that is primarily javascript (angular and node). “Selecting the seven cash investment award-winners for our Venture Class 6 was very challenging for our judges because we had an exceptionally talented pool of entrepreneurs and innovators,” said Rhys L. Williams, associate vice president and managing director of FAU Tech Runway®. “All 21 of today’s Launch Competition winners will receive comprehensive support critical to propelling their ventures to new heights. On behalf of the entire FAU Tech Runway® team, we wish the Venture Class 6 competition winners including the $15,000 investment recipients, as well as the 19 graduates of Venture Class 5, continued success in rapidly growing their businesses.” Venture Class 6 winners will all join a robust community of fellow entrepreneurs, mentors, investors, instructors, and top-level support professionals. They will be provided with working space, as well as training and mentoring from nearly 50 highly vetted MIT program-trained mentors, instructors, and staff members, all at no cost. Competition winners will complete a 16-session course of instruction based on Stanford’s Lean LaunchPad curriculum. Classes cover customer development, value proposition, distribution channels, pitching skills, capital raising, and other subjects critical to entrepreneurial success. Williams and Connor Lynch, COO of Plastridge Insurance, provided opening remarks at the event, and the keynote address was delivered by Robert S. Flippo, co-founder and CEO of MobileHelp. Prior to revealing the incoming members of Venture Class 6, the 19 companies of Venture Class 5 participated in the graduation ceremony, with a select group from that class presenting live pitches, which highlighted their accomplishments. FAU Tech Runway® is a publicprivate partnership formed to foster earlystage technology companies, under the purview of FAU’s Division of Research. It also has provided financial support, entrepreneurial education, free workspace, investor introductions, expert mentoring, marketing assistance, student interns, and a close-knit entrepreneurial community for 52 early-stage companies since its launch.

Adults get a free book bag when they enroll and are eligible for monthly drawings for local concert tickets when they log the books they read at bocalibrary.org. As a community partner in education, BRPL encourages families to read during summer break to keep their reading skills sharp. The Summer Reading initiative provides an educational bridge

between school years to prevent “summer slide” during which students may lose up to two months of skills. “The ‘summer slide’ is real, and our professional library staff is here to help. We will provide reading recommendations for students at all reading levels, from preschool through high school. Adults can also request a Personalized Reading List based on their reading preferences,” said Amanda Liebl, Youth Programs Director. “Our Summer Reading Program offers kids, ’tweens and teens some awesome prize incentives to encourage them to read throughout the summer. And our classes, programs and events will provide education and fun for the whole family.” “Each year, BRPL’s Summer Reading program grows and reaches more readers,” notes Ann Nappa, Library Manager. “Thank you to the Friends of the BRPL, who generously donated more than $12,000 to support this educational initiative on behalf of the community! Great prizes for reading, a rockin’ kickoff party, and our fantastic new ‘Libraries Rock!’ book bag are all part of the summer fun at BRPL.” For a full listing of summer classes and activities, pick up a copy of The Recreator or a Summer Reading brochure at both libraries.

Matthew `Bump’ Mitchell: Dedicated Entire life to Helping People, Especially Youth Police Sgt. Rev. Matthew “Bump” Mitchell instilled character, discipline and a strong work ethic in the minds of thousands of Delray Beach children through his faith and his counseling while serving as a football coach. The former football coach, police officer, minister, advisor, role model, mentor, dedicated public servant, and a friend to many, died Saturday after a lengthy illness. He was 81. Back in the 1980s until he retired in mid 2000s, there was no one more dedicated to this community and to law enforcement, in general, than Sgt. Mitchell. Although he was quick to proclaim his roots in Quitman, Ga., Sgt. Mitchell, who was known around Delray Beach as “Bump,” would say he lived all but three of his years in Delray Beach. That’s because his parents moved south to work as sharecroppers on the Rangeline, west of the city, when he was 3. He earned his nickname “Bump” while playing quarterback for Carver

High School. A versatile athlete, who played on the school’s 1954 championship team, he also lettered in baseball, track and football. Upon leaving high school, he went to work as a custodian for the Palm Beach County School Board. During his 10 years there, he also moonlighted as an auxiliary police officer. With the help of a number of people on the force, he landed the job as a full-time police officer. The staunch disciplinarian had an unorthodox remedy for rambunctious and recalcitrant boys he encountered. Instead of arresting many of the children and carting them off to jail, he would often take them to his office and give them a tongue lashing. Oftentimes, that was more punitive than facing the wrath of the judge. He was also a coach - for of more than 40 years - with the Delray Rocks football league, which became his tool to turn many boys around and teach them how to get along in life. His impact is evident by the

many success stories of boys, who under his mentorship, went to college and later have thriving careers. Along with his three natural children, he is the spiritual dad and athletic father to countless men and women in the city. For many years and long before mentoring became a household name, Bump was the face of local male role models. After retiring from police work, he continued touching and saving lives on the pulpit at Christ Missionary Baptist Church. Several members shared stories of how he impacted their life, including the one whose daughter was heading down the wrong track and Sgt. Mitchell helped to get her life back in order. As a local reporter, I had a cordial relationship with him while he was active on the force. However, after his retirement we became closer. On several occasions he shared words of encouragement with me as I mentored young boys,

then, around town. I recalled the day when I felt like my efforts were in vain and was ready to walk away, Sgt. Mitchell put his hand on my shoulder and as he did on the field said, “The young branches always need molding, someone to care for them.” He also said, “News reporting pays your bills son, but molding these boys is your ministry. Don’t forsake them.” Wow! It is an understatement to say that Sgt. Mitchell’s passing caused a deep void of sadness in the community. And although his loss will be felt by many, he leaves behind a significant legacy. Delray Beach needs a few more Bump Mitchells - people who are just sincere givers. My heart and prayers go out to the Mitchell family and all who will experience this void that cannot ever be filled. His service, commitment and dedication to this community will be greatly missed.

POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Keeping Your Word! Never accommodate yourself to the irresponsible actions of others, much less your own. People need to be held accountable to their commitments, their promises, and whatever else is expected of them! Many persons hope that keeping silent about a duty not executed, a project not completed, a promised not fulfilled will make them disappear, or cause people to forget about it. Yet, usually such is not the case. The expectant individual will fill his or her mind with bad thoughts about the failure carried out by the other person. There’s no scale of signifi-

cance about whatever is promised but never delivered. As insignificant as a commitment may be to respond in some fashion, at a specific day or time, one’s word must count for something. There are people who even volunteer for things they know in advance they shall never tackle, much less complete! However, society cannot function adequately unless its members look more seriously at every commitment made, however small they might appear to be. Others are counting on its completion and delivery. It’s reasonable for anyone to be casual and spontaneous in certain

things, but that should never apply to duties upon which so many others depend. No one has the right to break a promise without timely informing those to whom it was made. It may be a phone call with information sought by another, an e-mail or letter to be written, a recommendation to be provided, a purchase to be secured et al. It’s often in smaller things that major blunders are created, and enduring disappointments take place! Although lack of seriousness in the fulfillment of smaller or greater responsibilities has existed throughout human history, it appears that the

current age may eventually be classified in history by varied designations, one of which might well be “the age of irresponsibility.” People today never measure the consequences of their actions or inaction even about significant issues! Make your “yes” always run swiftly to respond to what is expected of you, timely and efficiently. By the same token, may your “no” dispel any doubt in anyone’s mind about where you stand on a matter, great or small! In all situations, always keep your word!

Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr. is a Florida resident who, for many years, was a professor at the post-graduate level. He is a writer, a sought-after conference speaker, a man who lived in five continents of the world, having received his education in four of them. When he resided in southern California, he wrote a weekly column for the daily “Anaheim Bulletin,” which was carried for about six years, until he moved to south Florida.

Lock It Plates Wins First Place in Business Plan Competition Lock It Plates, a product devised as a more convenient way to transport food, won first place and $12,000 in prize money at this year’s Florida Atlantic University Business Plan Competition, recently hosted by FAU’s Adams Center for Entrepreneurship and the College of Business at the FAU Office Depot Center. For Jerry Desamur, a civil engineering student at FAU, and his friends Johny Delvar and Christopher Mundy, the idea for Lock It Plates was a natural outgrowth of being a part of South Florida’s Caribbean community. Desamur and Delvar are from Haiti, while Mundy’s family is from Jamaica. “Being from the islands, we share food with family, with neighbors, and we’re always carrying food around, sharing our culture through food, that’s what we do,” said Delvar, a student at Broward College who plans to transfer to FAU. “So that’s how the solution came about, because we always struggle carrying food around everywhere we go. So this was our solution, and it became a great idea and we decided to pursue it.” Their product’s development sprang from talking with their friends who face similar problems in transporting food in traditional containers. “We came together and knocked heads, and we also got a group of people to see what they wanted in a food container,” said Mundy, who graduated from St. Francis College in Brooklyn, N.Y., with a degree in business management and information technology. “We thought if we’re having problems with food containers, other people have to be having problems.” From there, they found a friend to help them with the design and another to help them produce a prototype. They said they have designed the first lockable,

disposable, reusable and secure plastic plates that make eating on the go that much easier. With the prize money in hand, they’re now working on obtaining a patent for their product. Second prize and $6,000 went to Roizo, which creates innovative strength training products that increase the performance of athletes. Roizo’s new grip apparel technology is aimed at changing the current athletic landscape, starting with the Roizo grip shirt, grip sleeves and grip socks. Contiguity Spatial Solutions (CSS) took third place and $3,000.

But all of the teams were very professional.”

PBSC Awards More Than 3,200 Degrees and Certificates Palm Beach State College awarded more than 3,200 degrees and certificates during two commencement ceremonies May 9 that drew applause, laughter and even some tears from the spring graduates who range in age from 17 to 76. Florida Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam was the keynote speaker at the afternoon ceremony for the 1,839 Associate in Arts transfer degree recipients. The group included 35 dual enrollment students who earned their degrees while in high school and more than 30 graduates of the Dr. Floyd F. Koch Honors College. Putman told the graduates that their new degree represents sacrifice. “There should be no question in your mind that all those late nights, and all that perseverance, and all that hard work, and … all that sacrifice, it was worth every minute. This degree is part of your ticket to the American Dream; for some of you it will result in the next step of your education or the job or promotion that you’ve been working for.” State Sen. Kevin Rader, was the

keynote speaker at the morning ceremony for the combined 1,383 graduates of the Associate in Science, Bachelor of Applied Science and Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree programs and the certificate programs. With this class, the College has now awarded 2,000 bachelor’s degrees since it began offering them in 2009. Rader, who was elected to the Florida Senate District 81 in 2016 and previously served four years in the Florida House, said when we first ran for a House seat in 2000, he lost. He said he then ran for a seat on the Palm Beach County School Board and lost again. His also lost his first bid for a Senate seat in 2010. “It would have been easy to give up on my dreams,’’ he said. “I persevered,’’ he said, encouraging graduates to stay the course on their path to reach their goals. Among the other commencement speakers were PBSC President Ava L. Parker, Carolyn L. William, chairperson of the PBSC District Board of Trustees and Charles Cross, Jr., past chairman and former PBSC trustee.

Annual Tennis Tournament is a Grand Slam for Boys & Girls Club The Boys & Girls Club of Boca Raton’s 15th Annual Tennis Tournament took place on Sunday, April 29 at the Boca Raton Resort & Club. The event raised more than $16,000 and Erik Silver led the event as chairman. The tournament opened with a first-ever Kickoff Cocktail Party on Saturday, April 21, hosted by The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Boca Raton and Via Mizner Golf & City Club. More than 50 party attendees enjoyed refreshments and light bites while shopping an extensive silent auction in hopes of winning the wonderful baskets and experiences donated by local businesses and Clubs. Guests also had an opportunity to try their luck at winning one of four exciting raffle prizes. Members from the Boys & Girls Club of Boca Raton, including the Club’s Youth of the Year Yourhi Dalmacy, delighted guests with stories about why they love attending the Club and participating in the Tennis Program. The doubles round-robin tournament attracted more than 30 players of all skill levels, who competed in a series of five rounds throughout the afternoon. Dario Vaccini and Jill Needleman were awarded top honors for racking up the most points in the competitive division while Tish Messinger and Lindsay Seigel won as leading ladies of the recreational division. During the tournament, Chairman of the event and Director of Tennis at the Boca Raton Resort, held a kid’s clinic for Club members from the Boys & Girls Club

www.bocaratontribune.com

of Boca Raton. “The smile on the kids’ faces makes it all worth it. I was never about coaching them to become great players, but introducing them to a game for life and an activity that’s fun and great exercise,” stated Silver, who also runs the Tennis Program at the Boys & Girls Club. The tournament was run by Boca Resort’s Scott Williams who has been involved with the event since it started 15 years ago. Samson Asset Management & the Rappaport Family were Ace Sponsors of the tournament and Tracey Darroll & Joe Prado were Deuce Sponsors.

When Tevin Ali graduated from Palm Beach State College in 2015, he was already considering Johns Hopkins University for graduate school. Now as a winner of a $20,000 Sallie Mae Bridging the Dream Scholarship for Graduate Students, one of four awarded nationwide on April 30, Ali can realize his goal without financial worries. After earning an Associate in Science degree in Biotechnology at PBSC, followed by a B.S. in Biological Sciences from Florida Atlantic University in 2017, Ali enrolled in the Master of Biotechnology Enterprise and Entrepreneurship program at Johns Hopkins University. He has just completed his first year in the program, and the scholarship will cover the last year, leading to his graduation in May 2019. “My journey through college and to graduate school has helped me find not just my educational and career pathway, but also my own personal mission,” Ali said. “This scholarship from Sallie Mae empowers me to continue my education and develop a platform to share my story in hopes of inspiring others.” Ali, 26, aspires to become a leader in genomics and an empowering public speaker to create a positive impact on the STEM community and biotechnology industry. He recently launched Talk with Tevin LLC, and his next speaking engagement is at the Eduventures Summit 2018

in Boston next month. “When I found my personal mission, that’s what clarified everything for me. It was really educators throughout Palm Beach State College, FAU, Johns Hopkins, and my experience as an intern at The Washington Center, that drew the mission out of me, and I want to pay that forward.” Living locally and doing his master’s degree online, Ali recently took a part-time job at PBSC as a student development advisor for the tresPATHS Project, based on the Boca Raton campus. A Hispanic-Serving Institution Title III project, tresPATHS supports Hispanic and low-income PBSC students who are interested in pursuing specific STEM bachelor’s degrees at FAU. “I chose this job out of other possibilities because Palm Beach State was my first step, and I want to give back to the College.” Thus far, Ali has impressed his supervisor, Dr. Candice Maharaj, program grant director. “Tevin brings forth great value to our department. He thrives on seeking the potential in students, and being an advisor, he truly gets the opportunity in helping students reach their ultimate academic goal. Tevin embodies the mission of this grant and is simply the perfect fit to be our advisor.”

By Rick Boxx

Overcoming Toxic Anger Early in my business career, like many young people I was trying to gain an understanding of what striving for success would require. One of the things I learned in this process was far from anything I had anticipated. The first time I met Gregg, he said, “Rick, if you choose to work with me, you need to know my priorities in life. God’s first, my family’s second, and this job is third.” Being a person who had been “running from God” for decades, listing priorities in that order was alien to my thinking. I could not imagine how Gregg’s priorities would impact the way he ran the bank where we worked. Soon, however, it became clear. Before moving forward on major tasks, Gregg made his business decisions by first considering God and His principles, as they are presented in the Bible. Observing how he made those decisions revealed to me how to seek God’s wisdom, and encouraged me to consider how placing Him first – as my top priority – could have a positive impact on my work, its quality and effectiveness. My perspectives on work and my priorities in life did not change overnight, but Gregg’s example and the ideas he had sown in my mind had a profound effect on me. Those later bore fruit, revolutionizing my thinking about business, its purpose – and my own. Ultimately, it led me to establish a consulting ministry in which I seek to help others to also understand what it means if we follow Jesus’ admonition when He said, “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you” (Matthew 6:33). Putting God first in our lives is easier said than done. First, we must believe it is even possible to do, and then

act upon that belief. Be assured there will be challenges along the way, testing our convictions. There are times when we wonder, “If I insist on putting God first, this will never work.” We might be tempted to think, “Well, a minor compromise will not hurt, will it? I will bend the rules this time, but after this, no more.” This, however, is one reason we read, “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking nothing” (James 1:2-4). When our faith is tested, including our desire to remain true to priorities we have established, perseverance develops. This enables us to stay true to our convictions, even when it becomes difficult. Some people might think that making God the top priority is a nicesounding ideal, but not very practical. We live and work in a highly competitive, unyielding marketplace environment where most people are operating according to rules that run counter to biblical principles. How can we thrive under those circumstances? We have to be realistic, right? That is what I thought when I met Gregg. But he proved me wrong. Even when confronted with adversity, or when a particular decision was very difficult, he never wavered. He stayed true to the priorities as he had stated them to me – God, family, then job. There were times when there was a cost to pay, a necessary sacrifice, but he never had to compromise his values. And he never regretted taking such a stand. Let me ask you: What place does God have in your work priorities?

SPORTS 10-Men Boca Raton FC Falls 4-0 at PBSC raises more than $140,000 at Golf Classic Home, Set Focus on Jacksonville Armada

BOCA RATON, FL — Boca Raton Football Club fell to conference leaders, Miami United FC 4-0 on Saturday, May 5 at Atlantic High School. Boca Raton FC started the game strong, pressing on the visitors most of the first half but an early questionable penalty kick call for the away side saw the visitors take the 1-0 lead in the 15th minute. Despite the goal, Boca Raton FC continued to press looking for the equalizer. Head coach Jim Rooney changed things up in the 36th minute when he went with a more attacking line-up by bringing in Boca Raton FC’s 2nd all-time goal scoring leader (14), Colby Burdette to replace Gabriel Bravo. Eight minutes into the second half, after another interesting penalty call for the away side, Miami United doubled their lead to 2-0. Boca Raton FC continued to battle, and in the process saw midfielder Junior Palacios be sent off in the 75th minute. Miami United exploited being a man up on the home side and added two

more goals before the final whistle. “We played a good game, I liked the way we kept our shape throughout the match and despite going down we continued to battle versus one of the best teams in the conference,” said Rooney after the match. “We took a lot out of this game and we need to remind ourselves we are still not at 100 percent.” With a handful of players still making their way to Boca Raton FC as they return from college, Boca Raton FC will continue to work as they set their eyes on a road-weary Jacksonville Armada team that will be playing their third game in a week when they visit Atlantic High School on Saturday, May 12. “We can compete with the best of them,” said midfielder Carlos Meneses. “Tonight’s result is not a reflection of who we are and we will work harder this week to give our fans a good showing on May 12.” Tickets for the match versus Jacksonville Armada are on sale now at bocaratonfc.com/tickets. Tickets start at only $10 and are a great, affordable, family-friendly event to take the kids to on a Saturday night.

Thirty-two teams of four came out to play last Friday in the Palm Beach State College Foundation’s 2018 Golf Classic at Mayacoo Lakes Country Club in West Palm Beach. Themed, “Swing for Student Success,” the event raised more than $140,000 which will go toward STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) student scholarships as part of the College’s STEAM initiative. During a closing awards ceremony and cocktail reception, the top three teams were announced and prizes were given for those who won the longest drive, straightest drive and closest to the pin contests, among others. The team of Jesse Lee, Mitch Crissman, Oscar Dominguez and Jerry Springer in the Tripp Electric Motors, Inc. group took first place with a score of 50. Second place went to Ted Cava,

www.bocaratontribune.com

Michael Bird, Sean Denyse and Kevin Bell in the Gilbane Building Company group with a score of 53 and third was Ricky Wade, Lance Ivey, Donny Wright and John Powers from the McDonald’s Group with a score of 54. The winning team took home a new award this year: the Panther Cup trophy, named after the College mascot. “We are very proud of all of you for participating in this event and proud to present this new award,” said Ricky Wade, chairman of the PBSC Foundation board of directors. “It not only symbolizes all the hard work of the Foundation but also the ongoing efforts to raise funds for scholarships to support student success and grow our community.” The Panther Cup will be displayed in the PBSC district office lobby in Lake Worth with the winners names engraved on it. A smaller version of the trophy was taken home by the team.
