COMMUNITY Delray Native Nominated For Prestigious Humanitarian Award

Florida State University junior Jennifer Magi of Delray Beach was honored today as a candidate for the prestigious Humanitarian Of the Year Award of the school’s Center for Leadership & Social Change, for her outstanding volunteer work on behalf of the Gift of Life Marrow Registry.

Magi, 21, a junior majoring in environmental engineering, was nominated for the school-wide award by FSU’s School of Engineering as its very own Humanitarian of the Year. Each year 15 students across FSU are honored for exemplary service for a range of humanitarian causes, with each winning $200 toward the cause of their choice. On April 9, one of the honorees will be named as the ‘Humanitarian of the Year’ by FSU President John E. Thrasher and awarded an additional $1,000 for the non-profit of their choosing.

“When I learned the college wanted to nominate me for this award, I was in shock,” Magi said. “It was a real honor and a realization of the impact my club and I are having.”

Magi was inspired to become a Gift of Life Campus Ambassador after her father was diagnosed in 2017 with acute myeloid leukemia, but was able to find a match for a life-saving bone marrow transplant through Gift of Life.

After becoming a Gift of Life Campus Ambassador, Magi started a Gift of Life Club at FSU, and led a series of recruitment drives for students to join the registry through a simple cheek swab. Each new member then becomes a potential candidate to save the life of someone battling leukemia or a range of blood diseases, through a blood stem cell or bone marrow donation.

Magi has recruited over 1,000 students to the registry. Her goal, she said, in both her future career and humanitarian work is simple: “to save the planet.”

Since launching in 2014, 411 campus ambassadors have volunteered more than 18,000 hours to add 39,600 people to the registry, resulting in 72 life-saving transplants. By the end of this school year, the campus ambassadors will have run 500 swab drives to reach over 15,000 students, each of whom may get the chance to help save lives.

Since its start in 1991, Gift of Life has grown the registry to more than 330,000 individuals who have volunteered to donate blood stem cells or bone marrow to save a life. In the process, the organization has facilitated over 16,000 matches for those with a range of blood cancers, resulting in more than 3,400 transplants.

Boca Raton Resident Donates Over $10 Million in Sports Memorabilia to FAU

Former Kansas City Royals owner and longtime Boca Raton resident Avron B. Fogelman recently selected Florida Atlantic University (FAU) as the recipient of his vast sports memorabilia collection. The total gift, valued at more than $10 million including memorabilia and cash, is the fifth largest one-time donation in the university’s history.

The collection’s 562 pieces are considered one of the largest private sports libraries amassed and owned by an individual.

Items will be displayed in a new 3,500 squarefoot exhibit – The Fogelman Sports Museum at the Schmidt Family Complex for Academic and Athletic Excellence – scheduled to open this December.

What started as a personal collection of memories quickly grew into the largest personal collection of sports memorabilia. Some highlights of the memorabilia on display will include: - The 13 original rules of basketball by James Naismith - Babe Ruth’s pinstripe uniform pants worn on his first day as a New York Yankee in 1921 - Joe DiMaggio’s 1936 rookie uniform - Roger Maris’ uniform worn in 1961 when he broke the single season home run record - Hank Aaron’s uniform worn in 1974 when he broke the career home run record - 1985 Kansas City Royals World Series Trophy - Final cleats worn by football great Jim Thorpe - Football signed by the undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins - The 1969 Ryder Cup Trophy

www.bocaratontribune.com

- Baseballs signed by sports legends, entertainers, politicians and historical figures Special “one of a kind” sports artifacts never seen before

The museum will offer visitors a visual progression of American sports alongside vignettes of the country’s growth, providing historical context, opportunities for intergenerational connections and unique storytelling. A $1.8 million cash contribution from Fogelman will cover design, construction, and furnishing costs for the new space, as well as hiring and training of museum staff.

“Creating an exhibit to display this collection is a way for us to protect our history; it is a living, breathing account of our country’s history, America’s Pastime and other sports told through artifacts, my own personal stories and the stories of my friends,” said Fogelman. “If we forget our history we cannot serve as good stewards of our future. FAU understands how to display this collection so it educates and inspires as many people as possible.”

According to FAU President John Kelly, the exhibit will serve the university’s academic programs including MBA Sports Management. Space will be allocated for lectures and post-tour discussions, and the museum will be a free attraction for locals, tourists and sports aficionados alike.

“Securing this collection is a point of pride for our university,” Kelly said. “Avron’s passion for sports, coupled with his lifelong dedication to education are evident through this generous donation. His desire to bring sports history to life will manifest through our plans for academic integration and community engagement.”

Fogelman is a contributor to FAU in support of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, Athletics, and the Kelly Family Scholarship Fund.

PBSC Alumni’s Feature Film Leads to Festivals and Careers

When the curtain goes up at the 2019 Fort Myers Beach Film Festival April 2428, Palm Beach State College alumni Kat and Josh Brady and Shelby Halberg will be in the audience. They will be on hand to answer questions after the screening of their film, “The Big Frozen Gumshoe,” a feature-length comedy that Kat Brady directed, Josh Brady produced, and Halberg shot.

The film, which had its debut at the Orlando Film Festival in October 2018, has been a labor of love for the team since they graduated with Associate in Science degrees in Motion Picture Production Technology in December 2014. Just prior to graduation, the script, co-written by Kat and Josh Brady, was selected as the winner of PBSC’s Student Feature Film Initiative, in which the College provided film equipment and mentoring to develop a feature film to compete in the festival marketplace and hopefully earn distribution.

“For independent films like ours, with pretty much no money, no professional names or stars attached, it’s hard to get noticed,” Kat Brady said. “The fact that a bunch of PBSC film students could successfully write and plan an 80-page script, go out and film it for 26 days across two months, then spend three years in post-production until it’s finally finished, is a massive accomplishment in and of itself. Having the film get accepted into film festivals is just the icing on the cake.”

Indeed, it took dedication and smarts to get to this point. While the PBSC equipment spared a large expense, the team needed to cover production costs like insurance, props, costumes and meals. They launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign that successfully raised $6,080 to cover these expenses. Out of 41 cast and crew members, 17 were PBSC film students or recent graduates, but everyone involved volunteered their talents to help make the film a reality.

“The experience was worth more than money,” Halberg said. “We had just graduated film school, and we were going to make our own feature-length movie, which is kind of rare. It was a huge learning experience and definitely a great start.”

The film did jump-start the trio’s careers. Kat Brady now works for PBSC’s film department as a specialist who creates course videos and provides tutorial support for students. Halberg has his own video production company, Blank Frame Films, in Delray Beach.

As the director of photography for “The Big Frozen Gumshoe,” he was able to add a feature film to his résumé, and the experience boosted his confidence in his first job as a production assistant for the 2017 Academy Award-winning film “Moonlight.” The same was true for Josh Brady, who got noticed for having a feature film, among other projects, under his belt. He’s now a freelance production coordinator, racking up credits on movies and television shows like Nickelodeon’s “I Am Frankie.”

“Fortunately, we were able to meet and put our collective minds together to produce this film,” Josh Brady said. “Just having a real film to put on a résumé, to say that we did this, we accomplished it, and we were capable of it – it gave all of us a huge leg up, not just for this film, but for the scope of our whole careers.”

Filmed across Palm Beach County, including the Lake Worth campus, “The Big Frozen Gumshoe” is a ‘man out of his time’ comedy, in which a 1940s private eye, who had been diabolically frozen just as he was about to crack a case, defrosts to find himself in today’s world of computers and smartphones.

Undaunted by the challenges of this new environment, he continues his hapless pursuit of the now very cold case. Gregg Goldsbury, who trained at the Burt Reynolds Institute for Film and Theatre, plays Detective Dick. Think “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?,” “Austin Powers” and “Dumb and Dumber.”

March 29 - April 4, 2019

Kat and Josh Brady, who met in the PBSC film program and are now married, coauthored the script in eight days in 2014 and perfected it as they spent five months working with Halberg to plan every detail of the production.

Filming got underway on May 15, 2015, and continued three days a week, so cast and crew could juggle school and jobs.

After production wrapped on July 10, Kat Brady switched hats and started editing and coordinating post-production, again with the volunteer help of PBSC alumni and students.

Finally, after editing, sound design and mixing, color grading, visual effects, and original music, the team officially completed the film in June 2018.

“Making movies is such a collaborative process,” she said. “Every single person involved with the making of the film made it what it is today. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to spend days, weeks, months and, for some, years with to complete the movie.”

While students tackle short film projects throughout their time in PBSC’s hands-on programs and gain experience in internships, the Student Feature Film Initiative gave them the opportunity to develop their skills in the real world and garner professional credits for their efforts.

“Kat and her team presented the most feasible and prepared project for consideration,” said Professor Michael Seminerio, who was also department chair at the time and served as an advisor during the film’s production. “She and her team were students that took on roles of leadership within the department very easily and very well. They carried themselves professionally from their earliest classes and that continued on through this endeavor.”

PBSC gave the team not only a foundation, but also friendships and a network.

“One of the greatest benefits of film school was making connections,” Kat Brady said. “You have to be a team player to work on a film crew and that’s a big part of this learning environment. It’s about learning the industry standard equipment and techniques, but it’s also about building relationships and leadership qualities, so that when you graduate you can go out and direct a film, start your own business, or work effectively as a crew member.”

Many of the film’s PBSC crew and cast members also have gone on to careers in the industry. First assistant camera David De Souza has worked on projects such as Paramount’s “Baywatch” and Netflix’s “Stranger Things.” Second assistant camera David Albahae has worked in the production office for FX’s “American Crime Story” and feature films for the A24 studio as well as series for Nickelodeon and Amazon. Sound recordist Devin Ryan works as a freelance sound mixer and boom operator for commercials and films, such as the Lifetime Original movie “Boyfriend Killer.” Gavin Winnett, electrician and colorist, worked in the camera department on Nickelodeon’s “I Am Frankie” and now works as a freelance assistant camera on films and commercials. And Braden Bullard, who plays Kid, has recently completed another feature film, “The Awakening.”

Cast and crew are still close, helping—and hiring—each other as much as possible.

“In this industry, it’s a lot about who you know, and we all know each other,” Josh Brady said. “So anytime one of us is on a project, they are the first people we want to bring in. It’s an ecosystem for all of us to be able to work and succeed in the industry.”

Currently “The Big Frozen Gumshoe” awaits acceptance at more festivals and will be available on streaming services after its festival run.

Remember to Read Something Over the Spring Break

Today, 196,000 students in the School District of Pam Beach County will begin their coveted spring-break.

And while many students will be heading to local camps or even mini family vacations, many - especially those who are at-potential - will sit idle or do worse. (Many will also go hungry.)

I am calling on parents to encourage your children to pick up a book and read it during the break. After all, anything school-related can sound like “homework” to students. And I know that when the options include swimming, streaming videos or playing video games, going to the mall or hanging out with friends, reading can sometimes be a hard sell.

Studies however show that at-potential children are at a greater risk of losing what they earned when classes are not in session.

Recently, I encouraged some of my mentees to read something over the Spring Break and their response was quite interesting. For a minute, I

thought they were unionized. Some see the break as a respite from class.

“Spring Break is our time to get away from school and condition our minds for the weeks leading up to summer,” one reasoned.

My seniors see it as a rite of passage or a reward for slogging through the stressful SATs, personal essays and arduous college admissions process.

While they do not care about reading, some will do so to amuse or even appease me.

When I pointed out that the most recent study ranks the quality of education in Florida at number 25, students should be spending more days in the classroom or a learning environment than they do.

That kicked off a lively debate.

One, who should be destined to an Ivy League college, quickly pointed out that by spending more time in a school building does not always result in a better student. Instead, she said, more time

in a learning environment could be a better alternative.

State law requires Palm Beach County schools to hold 180 days of instruction time. In comparison, students in Japan spend 243 days - 63 days longer. And the standard school year in Israel, the Netherlands, Scotland and West Germany is 200 days or more. It should be noted thought that although those countries spend more time in school, this does not mean they are receiving more instruction.

I concur that the antidote is not simply more time in class. In countries that outperform the U.S., students spend less time in class, not more.

Children—especially elementary-age students—learn through play and activities.

I also think students should not have to be physically at school every day or all day. This will allow for other learning opportunities and environments to be integrated into a child’s education.

Unfortunately, we would have a better chance of making Palm Beach County the state capital than getting the school district to change the school calendar.

Any such move would be countered with opposition from the teachers’ union, vocal families, the tourism industry and any and everything that could improve academic achievement.

As a proponent of year-round school, I think there should be the equivalent of eight weeks of vacation distributed throughout the year—two weeks every season.

This certainly will reduce the frequency and extent of summer learning loss. It will also afford students an opportunity to job shadow or participate in experiential trips outside of their community or city.

And as I told those students, in the end, their hard work, sacrifice and dedication over Spring Break could be the real keys to their personal and professional success.

POSITIVE LIVING

By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Unveiling Your True Identity!

A person, most often, develops a relationship with another on the basis of what each knows, and comes to like, about the other. This is true in neighborhoods, at the work place, in social clubs, in religious institutions, among fellow students, and in many additional settings where people operate.

Many of these will never surpass a mere wave of the hand each time they pass one another, maybe an actual handshake, besides an occasional brief exchange of words of limited significance. Such can easily happen even among people who had never met before, but which came to find

sufficient reason to share some words based on a common experience at a particular moment.

There are others who go a bit deeper, and may even engage in conversation each time they pass each other.

Perhaps a world or national event of some significance may cause comments to be made and even a dialogue to unfold.

Yet, at these two levels just described, chances are that nothing extra will occur unless there is a deliberate effort, and a corresponding response, which enables ties to be established between two or more individuals. That may de-

pend on how much of one’s personal identity is honestly, gradually, and mutually disclosed; when some form of trust is established among the parties!

A person’s looks, speech, and many other factors can be partially helpful, just as they can also be totally deceptive. That’s why I often recommend to individuals and audiences I address: Be sure your identity is manifested far more by who you are, rather than merely by things you possess!

It’s quite sad, albeit true, that far too many people today prefer to operate more on the basis of appearance than reality. Many talk quite well and too

much, yet never adding the ingredients that truthfully point to who they actually are as a person!

Nevertheless, you can develop a set of easy questions which can be posed to an individual you become interested in knowing better and developing mutual trust. Then, together, you can impact other lives with the values of integrity and solid attitudes you can model through all you do! In all you are and do, just be real; and make that as contagious as you can!

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.

COLUMNISTS BOCA SOCIETY HAPPENINGS

FAITH

By Charlotte Beasley

By Robert J. Tamasy

Helen Babione’s 90th Birthday Celebration

I attended beloved Boca philanthropist, Helen Babione’s 90th birthday celebration luncheon at St. Joan of Arc Church Social Hall in Boca Raton. So many Boca Raton leaders and familiar faces were there to help Helen celebrate her special day. What an awesome event!

Feeling Impatient in the ‘Waiting Room’?

Do you like having to wait? If you do, you are a rare individual. Most of us find waiting a great source of annoyance, frustration, even fear. We do not like waiting for a traffic light to change or finding ourselves stuck in traffic. When goals are delayed, we feel dismayed, wondering how we can speed the process. Sitting in the waiting room to see a doctor or dentist can test the limits of our patience.

Recently I had to undergo a significant medical procedure. I arrived at the hospital before 8:30 a.m., as instructed, and was informed the procedure would begin by 10:30. But 10:30 came – and went – and my wife and I were still waiting. I tried not to get impatient, but eventually asked about the delay. Finally, the medical staff got to me and started the procedure, but it was not until 12:30!

Waiting is just as unpleasant in a workplace context. Sometimes we must wait on someone before we can proceed with our part of a project. We need to discuss a major issue to discuss with our boss, but she cannot see us until later in the day. Waiting on a muchdesired job offer can be agonizing.

For those who follow Jesus Christ, waiting is part of God’s plan for developing character and helping us grow in our faith. Sometimes the only answer to our fervent prayers is, “Wait!” Some people have even referred to such times as being in “God’s waiting room.”

We see many examples in the Bible of people God required to wait, even though He had special plans for them. Abraham and his wife, Sarah, had to wait many years for the child that God had promised them. The Lord had chosen Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, but Moses still had to spend many years in exile before the right time arrived. Then the people of Israel had to “wait” 40 years in the wilderness

before they could enter the Promised Land.

Sooner or later, we all find ourselves in God’s waiting room. What should we know about waiting – and what should we do during these unavoidable times? The Scriptures offer helpful insights:

Trust in the One in whom we must wait.When things come to a standstill in our lives and careers, we attempt to do anything possible to get things moving again. Sometimes, however, God wants us simply to wait and trust that He is in control.”Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10).

Do all that we can, but then, if necessary, wait.Being in “God’s waiting room” does not necessarily mean doing nothing. It does mean when we have done everything we think should be done, we must wait for God to accomplish the rest. “Trust in the Lord and do good…. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him…. Wait for the Lord and keep his way…” (Psalm 37:3-7,34).

When God hits the “pause button” in your life, draw on your faith.When forced to wait, we can become discouraged and even wonder if God has forgotten about us and what we need. This is an opportunity to strengthen our faith in Him and see what He will do, often far more than we could have imagined. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Lynn University’s Perper Residence Hall Earns LEED Silver Certification

Lynn University’s Mary and Harold Perper Residence Hall received LEED Silver certification by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).

LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is the most widely used green building rating system in the world. It provides a framework to create healthy, highly efficient and costsaving buildings. LEED certification is a globally recognized symbol of sustainability achievement.

USGBC awards certifications based on points applicants earn across several categories. Perper Residence Hall earned LEED Silver for:

Water efficiency: The campus taps into an IRIS Loop, a non-potable water source, which allows it to use reclaimed (recycled) water for the irrigation system. Additionally, water efficient faucets, toilets and showerheads utilize 40.34 percent less water than similar buildings.

Sustainable site: Forty-four percent of the

site is dedicated to vegetated open space, an exemplary accomplishment, according to LEED rating systems. It is also made up of drought-tolerant native plants, including sabal palms, a thatch palm and a live oak tree in the courtyard.

Energy and atmosphere: The building uses 33.77 percent less energy than a code-compliant baseline.

Indoor environmental quality: Low-emitting paints, adhesives and flooring products provide enhanced indoor air quality. All installed carpet is certified by the CRI Green Label Plus program.

Additionally, over 90 percent of indoor spaces have a nature view.

Materials and resources: Over 20 percent of project materials are composed of recycled content, and over 75 percent of construction waste was recycled. In addition, more than 50 percent of the structure’s wood was harvested from a responsibly managed forest.

Best Foot Forward Hosts the Dare to Dream Bash

This year’s honorary chair is Barbara C. Gutin, community advocate and philanthropist. Dr. John Kelly, President of Florida Atlantic University, will be the recipient of the 2019 Champion of Children award for his advocacy and dedication to youth in foster care. Guests will enjoy cocktails, dinner, and dancing to music by Mike Sipe Entertainment, Events and Production. Best Foot Forward is proud to

announce this year’s presenting sponsor, Laura and Shaw McCutcheon. Other top sponsors include: Trend Capital Management LP, Ascent Medical Group, Burns Family Foundation, Margi and Bill Greenfield, Mainstreet Capital Partners, Nelson Mullins Broad and Cassel, Marilyn and Jay Weinberg, Zimmerman Advertising, and Cristino Fine Jewelry as the jewelry sponsor.

“This will be a memorable evening, and we hope to raise a significant amount of money to support our important and diverse programs,” said Donna Biase, Co-Founder of Best Foot Forward.

Student Leaders Grow Through Newman Civic Fellowship

University students are charting their careers and making a difference in the community, thanks, in part, to insight they gain from a nationwide leadership program.

Judson Crawford at Tabernacle Missionary Baptist ChurchFour Palm Beach Atlantic University students have been named Campus Compact Newman Civic Fellows over the years, with senior Judson Crawford completing the fellowship this semester and freshman Melody Bohannan recently named to the 2019-2020 cohort. Isabelle Runge ’18 and Lexi Redmond ’18 also were Newman Civic Fellows. The PBA students learn alongside other fellows from Ivy League schools and large research universities.

Fellows are nominated by their university president or chancellor based on their potential for public leadership. In the fall, all of the fellows gather in Boston for a nationwide convention hosted

by Campus Compact and the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the U.S. Senate.

The program also includes webinars on skill development, leadership development with a local mentor and networking with other engaged student leaders.

For Crawford, the experience helped him discern his career goal of becoming a police officer. Officers can make a big difference in children’s lives, a lesson Crawford said he learned as leader of the Rosemary Village afterschool program. Rosemary Village is an underserved, low-income community two miles from campus. Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church runs the afterschool program for children ages 4 to 15, Crawford said.

“They’ve changed my life in ways that I never thought were possible.

Just jumping into it was the best decision I ever made,” Crawford said. “Being an officer, you can impact so many more people than you think you can. They want nothing more than to be loved and to be guided.”

The psychology major will attend the police academy in St. Augustine in July. His long-term plan is to become a psychologist for first responders.

The Rome, Georgia, native came to PBA as a transfer student his sophomore year and learned about Workship, the university’s community service program. That’s how he got plugged into the afterschool program that set the trajec-

tory of his college career.

His first day volunteering, the leader at the time asked, “Do you want to be the leader?”

From that day on, he went every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. In his senior year, he’s volunteered two days a week. He has planned weekend events such as a PBA campus visit, bowling and a zoo trip for the children. He hopes to take them gleaning, for “a really cool, hands-on experience” and so that they can see where their food comes from.

The church invited Crawford and his mentor to a Black History Month service, during which Assistant Pastor Rev. Kevin L. Jones ’07 presented Crawford with his medal from Campus Compact. Nathan Chau, assistant director of Workship, served as Crawford’s mentor for the fellowship, which trains students in developing leadership qualities, recruiting and encouraging volunteers and recognizing and meeting community needs to create a new vision for the future, Crawford said.

Bohannan, PBA’s next Newman Civic Fellow, met a need for volunteers for an English as a Second Language (ESL) program for parents at Belvedere Elementary School. She plans the lessons and designs worksheets for parents to do during school breaks.

The intercultural studies major improved learning by bringing in household objects to illustrate her lessons, which enhanced parents’ language skills and helped them gain confidence – an achievement PBA President William M. B. Fleming, Jr. noted in his nomination.

Before she came to PBA, the Rockledge, Florida, native lived in Bolivia and Peru, where she taught English to girls. In that time, she experienced what it’s like to not know the language or what’s going on in one’s surroundings.

“The biggest thing it showed me was the life of an expat or an immigrant can be really hard,” she said.

She hopes the fellowship gives her the skills to strengthen the ESL program and sets her up to work at an orphanage or start her own ministry in another country after graduation.

“This could be the tool to help me do that,” Bohannan said.
