Community Moment of Silence Honor Life, Legacy of Lynn Earthquake Victims
City of Boca Raton Hosts Martin Luther King Jr. Events By: Michael Demyan Photos by: Robert Weinroth The city of Boca Raton held multiple events honoring and celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. over the weekend. The weekend kicked off with a free concert on Saturday at Sanborn Square. The concert featured music from the Valerie Tyson Band, the ReaXtion Band and gospel rap artist T-D.O.G.G. On Monday, the day of the observed holiday, a free breakfast was served at the Ebenezer Baptist Church Hall, which was provided by Developing Interracial Social Change. Following the breakfast, tents were set up at the nearby Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial for a ceremony with guest speaker Randy Nobles, the CEO and president of Habitat for Hu-
manity of South Palm Beach County. Florida Atlantic University students were also recognized by DISC president Allen Willis for their participation in the event. At 11 a.m., the people attending the ceremony marched together to the location of the Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration. Those who preferred or needed transportation were able to take a trolley to the event. In the past, it has usually taken place at Hughes Park, but this year food vendors were set up at the Sanborn Square along with free games, giant slides and face painting for the children. DISC was also in attendance and gave children vouchers for free hot dogs and drinks. The annual event celebrating the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., which attracted a crowd of people, lasted until 2 p.m.

Seven years after six Lynn University students and faculty members were killed in an earthquake in Haiti, employees and students held a moment of silence recently to honor their memories. “The Journey of Hope and each of its members will forever be an important part of the Lynn story,” President Kevin M. Ross said, according to a news release on the school’s web site. “Every year we come together and mourn, but more importantly, we remember and celebrate their lives.” Family members of three of the victims, a survivor and friends attended the brief ceremony at the Remembrance Plaza on campus as part of the Knights Unite Day of Caring. The annual event occurs during the university's January Term to coincide with Jan. 12, the an-
niversary of the disaster. The students, professors and eight other students were on a relief mission with Food for the Poor, an international nonprofit based in Broward County. The group arrived one day before a 7.0 earthquake rocked the country and the Hotel Montana, where the group was staying was destroyed. This year, faculty held several off-campus volunteer events and collected non-perishable food, school supplies, hygiene products and plastic bottle caps to support local charities and organizations. Students and staff will continue their community service at the sixth annual “Miracle League” Spring Training game, a baseball training camp for children with mental, physical and developmental challenges.

Children: Missing in Action During the MLK Observances As I attended and participated in the local Martin Luther King, Jr., observances this past weekend, one thing was clearly missing - middle and high school age children. From a fish fry at the Masonic Temple to a jazz concert and an ecumenical service at a local church, the audiences were comprised of adults. The only children present were those of participants, who were primarily middle-school students. There were however about 30 who attended the track and field event at Pompey Park as well as a few hundred who participated in the silent walk. But those events were more of a recreational and fun nature and not geared to education. On the other hand, there were the ecumenical service, the breakfast and the dinner, where one was sure to be educated on the importance of service, equality, opportunity and justice for all, principles to which Dr. King dedicated his brief life. In retrospect, I think, like the
adults many of our youth were not interested in “going back to church” on a Sunday evening for an all faith service. And certainly they would rather go to the South Florida Fair on the actual holiday than attending the breakfast or dinner. Oh how times have changed. I recall as a child, when we were busy studying our roles in the church play as Mary or Joseph or wondering how many lines you have to learn or even “how many presents I’m going to get?” Somehow, we have lost touch with our youth and we need to seize the
reins quickly. I am afraid that our children are not getting the basic lessons on love and respect they need. So, I think sometime over the MLK weekend, there needs to be “teach-in” session on the values of nonviolence, including unconditional love, tolerance, forgiveness and reconciliation, which are so desperatelyneeded to unify America. We need not wait for once a year to do this though. Our children learn very little about their history and culture in most public schools, therefore it is important that they be in-
volved in cultural programs and events in their communities. For example, had there been any youth attending the ecumenical service, the breakfast or the dinner, they would have learned from fellow youth speakers how they should fight evil, not people, and to get in the habit of asking themselves, “what is the most loving way I can resolve this conflict?” It is no wonder why our young people are so clueless about the depth of Dr. King’s life as was evidenced by some of their entries in the annual oratorical competition recently. It is obvious that we have a lot to of work to do to ensure our young people are prepared educationally, socially and culturally to navigate the pathways of life that awaits them. Share your thoughts. C. Ron Allen can be reached at crallen@delraybeachtribune.com or 561-665-0151.
POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.
The Future Arrives Daily Everybody must live in the present, for there’s no different time in which people can find themselves. Yet, everyone must also operate with the awareness that the future arrives daily, and continuous preparations need to be made, so as to welcome it wisely, and be well adjusted to it as it comes. There will be surprises, there may be disappointments and, inevitably, new challenges will be inevitable factors that cannot be ignored! People need to have a vision of the emerging future, on the basis of preparations one is making for it, as well as of present trends which
often accurately predict what it is to be expected, besides one’s awareness of seeds previously planted, which can only bring one particular kind of fruit once the future is here. What one sows, that shall one also reap. Besides, people are also forced to suffer, or benefit, from seeds that others had scattered in the past, which shall bring forth their unique fruit, whether good or bad! While fully residing in the present, but with eyes observant of the fast-approaching future, a person can only see through one’s own personal pair of eyes, unless one is blind and needs to depend on the interpretations
of a human guide. But the ones who can clearly contemplate what’s coming, with their own eyes, must also understand that a single observation can yield several interpretations, with manifold consequences. All this depends on varied factors that may be at work in one’s mind at any given moment. One may expect only one possibility for the results but, through careful examination, one discovers something quite contrary from the expected, forcing the issue to be re-evaluated in that new light. There are also other factors, reflecting a person’s heart disposition,
which will interfere with the final appraisal of the results, requiring a revised understanding of one’s expectations! It needs not become a problem, but just a wise adjustment to a new reality which the arriving future may have brought, though previously it might not have been considered. Live, then, as you should: always in the present but with an eye on the future, as you make wise preparations necessary for it, for you shall have to live there, and be ready to welcome it once it comes. And don’t forget that the future arrives daily!

Groups Unite for 8 Events Honoring Martin Luther King Jr., in Delray Beach
By Staff Reports
While people around the country - and even around the world – commemorated the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., hundreds in Delray Beach honored the late civil rights advocate on Monday, his namesake holiday, by continuing King’s mission through a day of civic service. After a 45 minute walk - which included more than 300 people and the Palm Beach Lakes High School marching band - from the Community Center to Pompey Park, participants rolled up their sleeves and worked to shore up some local food pantries’ supply. In true assembly-line fashion, representatives from various organizations and civic groups packed nonperishable food into bags, which were turned over to local food pantries and the Achievement Centers for Children and Families, and CROS Ministries. “This is what Dr. King stood on and that’s what Delta Sigma Theta was founded on, which is public service,” said Lisha Rountree, of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority South Palm Beach County Alumnae Chapter, which coordinated the event. This was the first year that the sorority organized the Day of Service project. They plan to serve as many as 20,000 meals next year, organizers said. It was also the first time in the 31-year history of the observance that the organizations worked jointly to present a slate of events. It also was the first time that a band participated. “The founders intended for it to be a silent walk and not a march or a parade,” said C. Ron Allen, who led the coordinating team. “However, while still maintaining the sanctity of the event, we
included the band as a magnet because interest had waned over the years.” The four-day observances kicked off Friday night with a fish fry organized by the Delray Beach Masonic Lodge No. 275. On Saturday morning, the men of Lambda Alpha Alpha Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., held their annual track and field activities at Pompey Park Recreation Center. Later that evening, jazz keyboard great Copeland Davis was in concert at Cason United Methodist Church. The event was coordinated by KOP Mentoring Network, a grassroots nonprofit, which has been serving area youth since 1991. On Sunday afternoon, people of at least 14 faiths attended an ecumenical service at Cason United Methodist Church. The 90-minute service featured Winzie Wilson, the second place winner of the 2016 MLK Oratorical Contest. The Boynton Beach High School student spoke on King’s reactions following the recent Presidential election. Monday was packed with activities from a breakfast, hosted by the Spady Museum, at the Delray Beach Municipal Golf Club to the dinner organized by Arora’s Voice, a nonprofit. The breakfast featured several speakers on various aspects of King’s life and the dinner honored 10 local “heroes” who have improved the city through the volunteerism or financial contribution. Organizers said the events went smoothly and were successful like a well-oiled machine. “This just shows the beauty when we all work together for one common purpose,” said Rosa Williams, a member of the 2017 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Coordinating Team.
Andy Thomson Gets Endorsement from BLU-PAC
Earlier this week, the Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce’s BLU-PAC (Business Leaders United for Boca Raton - PC, Inc.) announced their first endorsement of the 2017 Municipal Race, as they endorsed Any Thomson for City Council Seat B. “I am honored by the endorsement of BLU-PAC and the Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce,” said Thomson. “My business experience as a problem solver and track record of public service make me the most qualified candidate running for Boca Raton City Council Seat B. At the end of the day, we are One City with One Voice and I have the vision needed to represent all of Boca Raton. Together, we can take on our City’s toughest challenges and ensure Boca Raton is moving in the right direction.” BLU-PAC was created in 2006 to help Boca Raton Chamber members to better support state and local candidates
who share their views on important issues. According to the BLU-PAC website, “the most effective way to protect your economic rights is to elect those candidates who adhere to this philosophy. As a rule, strength in numbers is the guiding force behind the success of an organization like BLU-PAC. Only together can we make a difference.” “Andy will bring the right business experience, innovative thinking and passion for our great city,” said the BLUPAL board. “More importantly, he will provide the leadership needed to keep Boca Raton moving forward.” Thomson is running against Emily Gentile, and Andrea O’Rourke for City Council Seat B. The Boca Raton Tribune will soon announce its Candidate Forum that will take place in February which will be free for all Boca Raton residents to come out and participate in getting to know their candidates!

Several candidates have indicated they will run, including incumbents Councilman Scott Singer for Seat A and Mayor Susan Haynie. Emily Gentile, Andrea O’Rourke and Andrew Thomson have indicated they will run for Seat B. Their campaigns will not become official until they file the required documents and fees with the city clerk’s office during the qualifying period. To qualify, candidates must bring required state and city forms to the clerk’s office on the third floor of City Hall, 201 W. Palmetto Park Road between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. • Boca Raton based Office Depot completed its sale of its European office supply business to the Aurelius Group, divesting European business with 6,000 employees to concentrate on North American business. • Relief is coming to one of southern Palm Beach County’s worst traffic bottlenecks, the intersection of Glades Road and Florida’s Turnpike, but it may take two years to deliver. Construction begins Jan. 3 to add lanes to the heavily traveled junction west of Boca Raton, which frequently becomes clogged with commuters during morning and evening rush hours. Yet creating more room on the road means temporarily adding barricades, construction equipment and workers to an interchange where about 30,000 cars each day are exiting the Turnpike. The $8.3 million project calls for adding an additional right turn lane from westbound Glades Road to the entrance of the Turnpike, where at peak travel times traffic can back up for more than a mile with drivers merging onto the toll road. Plans include adding an additional right turn lane from the Turnpike off ramp to westbound Glades Road and widening the exit ramp from the northbound Turnpike to Glades Road to two lanes. • West Boca Leaders (One of a kind networking group) is the best networking group in the area...

In the wee hours of the morning, someone once again vandalized a holiday religious display symbolizing devil worship at a Boca Raton park. Since it went on display at Sanborn Square in early December this pentagram has attracted attention. It’s also attracted vandals, who simply cannot leave it alone. Some people can’t figure out what the devil this thing is. Others know exactly what it is. A pentagram, a symbol of devil worship or Satanism. • The marching band of Alabama’s oldest private, historically black liberal arts college has accepted an invitation to perform at President-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural parade, organizers said. Talladega College’s band will march at Trump’s inauguration as other historically black schools such as Howard University, which performed at President Barack Obama’s first inaugural parade, said they won’t be marching in the Jan. 20 event The Presidential Inaugural Committee announced Friday that the Talladega College Marching Tornadoes was among 40 groups, including high school bands and military organizations, scheduled to perform in the parade.

Digging Extraordinary Out Of The Ordinary Remember how excited you were the day you got your current job? Maybe it represented the realization of a dream. Or the end of a lengthy job search after being out of work. Or finally receiving an anticipated promotion. Or it offered the opportunity to pursue your passion, and utilize skills and gifts in ways you never could before. However, now you – or someone you know – have become restless and discontent. The job you once cherished has lost its luster; it has become boring, ordinary, routine. You feel you can no longer tolerate such an uninspiring assignment. The time has come for a change. Isn’t it interesting how a job that once enthused you so much that you could not wait for the start of a new day can become mundane, tedious, even detestable? It is like “falling in love,” becoming so fascinated with someone you cannot think of anything else, and then weeks, months or years later finding yourself wondering, “What was so special about him (or her)?” We can grow out of jobs, finding them no longer challenging or as rewarding as they once were. Perhaps we have developed new skills and are ready for greater responsibilities. Circumstances that seemed so appealing at first may have changed. However, sometimes this is simply a case of the newness, the novelty, having worn off, making a once very good job seem like a prison sentence. A time-worn adage tells us, “Familiarity breeds contempt.” But sometimes, just because a job has become familiar, that does not mean it is time to leave. As the essayist and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “If the stars should appear but one night every
thousand years how man would marvel and adore.” Just as we can lose our sense of wonderment in looking at the stars because they appear each night, we also can “fall out of love” with a job simply because we have become accustomed to it and its demands. Even though the excitement may have worn off, we might rediscover the extraordinary in the ordinary. Perhaps God has you where you are for a reason. Here are some thoughts to consider from the Bible: Maybe a new attitude, not a new job, is needed. If we could adopt a new perspective on our work, we might be able to approach it with more enthusiasm. “Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me…. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me” (Psalm 51:10-12). Sticking with it to the finish. We need to maintain a clear sense of our calling, recognizing God has placed us in our present job and may not be ready for us to move on. The apostle Paul wrote, “Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:13-14). Remembering the One we represent. As representatives of Jesus Christ, how we approach and perform our work – even to the very last day – reflects on Him and our faith in Him. “We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God” (2 Corinthians 5:20). Heizer Media Group

Could it be M. Night Shyamalan is getting his mojo back? “Split” is a hopeful sign that maybe the director of “The Sixth Sense” is returning to form that frightened and creeped-out audiences. Shyamalan is writer and director of “Split,” which is about a deeply disturbed character who has 24 distinct personalities. The character, who is introduced as a swishy artist named Barry, is played by Scottish actor James McAvoy, 37. McAvoy is best known as Charles Xavier in the “X-Men” series. McAvoy really has a chance to prove his acting chops with his troubled characters, which range from a little boy to a woman to a beastly homicidal maniac with superhuman strength. It is this character who kidnaps three high school girls from a parking garage. They are Casey (Anya Taylor-Joy), Claire (Hadley Lu-Richardson) and Maria (Jessica Sula). The girls are spirited away to a dungeon-like basement. We don’t know the location of the basement other than the fact it is in Philadelphia. The reveal at the end is a real kick. The alpha dog of the girls is Casey. Anya Taylor-Joy has enormous brown eyes that tear easily, but she is no

delicate princess. Miami-born Taylor-Joy, who turns 20 on April 16, spent her early years alternating between Argentina and England. She proves to be a force not to be reckoned with. Attempting, but not altogether succeeding in keeping McAvoy’s characters straight is Betty Buckley in the role of his psychiatrist, Dr. Karen Fletcher. In the movie’s perhaps most chilling scene, Dr. Fletcher meets a shocking demise. “Split” could not succeed without the versatility of James McAvoy, who is in turn funny, devious, pathetic and terrifying. I wondered if he used a body double for his scenes as a vein-popping maniac. The super creepy award goes to Brad William Henke as Casey’s reprehensible Uncle John. Now we know how she is equipped to deal with monsters. Anya Taylor-Joy is a most modern heroine; always feminine but never helpless. We shall be seeing this exotic young beauty again. “Split” can be confusing, as many of Shyamalan’s stories are, but if you pay attention, it is one suspenseful yarn. Three stars

FAU’s Center for Holocaust to YMCA To Hold Ribbon Cutting for Recognize Outstanding Holocaust Boynton Beach Facility Grand Educators Re-Opening Florida Atlantic University’s Center for Holocaust and Human Rights Education (CHHRE) will host its annual Rose Gatens Educator Appreciation Dinner on Thursday, Jan. 19, from 6 to 9 p.m., at the Boca Lago Country Club, 8655 Juego Way, in Boca Raton. Teachers, families, Holocaust survivors, students and members of the community will gather to celebrate each other and recognize the exceptional work of the three recipients of the Gutterman Family Outstanding Holocaust Educator of the Year Award. The award recognizes elementary and secondary teachers who have demonstrated a positive impact on their schools and the wider community within the field of Holocaust, genocide and human rights education. It honors individuals who actively, by their example and through teaching about these difficult subjects, strengthen South Florida students’ world-citizenship and capacity to uphold the dignity of all persons. The highly competitive award, funded by Arthur Gutterman, a benefactor whose generous contributions help sustain the Center and its program, enables winning teachers to participate in an all-expense paid educator field study to Poland and Israel. The CHHRE, an integral unit of FAU’s Peace Justice and Human Rights Initiative, relies on private donations to provide professional development programs for teachers, as well as classroom resources for teachers and students to support Florida’s mandate for required instruction of the Holocaust as well as community programs and exhibits. “It is important to recognize K-12 teachers who go above and beyond the requirements of the Holocaust education mandate,” said Linda Medvin, director of the CHHRE. “Each year, we celebrate the accomplishments of these outstanding individuals who are truly making a difference in the lives of their students, in their schools and in the world.” This year’s awardees are: Wendy E. Lockard, a reading specialist at Saint Jerome Catholic School in Fort Lauderdale, strives to bring history to life through literary works and Holocaust units encompassing knowledge, compassion, and self-reflection. Lockard participates in on-going professional
development in Holocaust education through the Center and other organizations. She has attended the Belfer Conference at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. She has a close relationship with the Anti- Defamation League, participating in the Bearing Witness Retreat for Catholic educators, the Advanced Bearing Witness Mission Trip, and a panel discussion for the ADL’s national executive committee meeting on the 50th anniversary of “Nostra Aetate.” St. Jerome School is recognized as a “No Place for Hate” for which Lockard serves as project director. Sanford P. Lopater is currently a teacher in the Social Sciences Department at John I. Leonard High School in Greenacres. He joined the staff after seven years of successful teaching at Palm Beach Maritime Academy Middle School. Prior to his teaching career, he was a law enforcement professional in Florida and in New York State. Lopater prides himself on being a lifelong learner of the Holocaust and regularly participates in professional learning programs through FAU’s CHHRE; the School District of Palm Beach County; Facing History and Ourselves; Centropa; Yad Vashem; United States Holocaust Memorial Museum; Yachad in Enum, and the Anti-Defamation League. His curriculum units expose students to a range of topics related to the Holocaust: Kristallnacht, totalitarianism, propaganda and the Nuremberg trials. Glenda Levene “Gigi” McIntire, a school counselor at Mirror Lake Elementary in Plantation, has been both an elementary teacher and a school counselor in Broward County for 36 years. The trainings at FAU’s CHHRE and its educator field study to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum have inspired her to broaden the scope of social and emotional learning in her school. McIntire led a school team to help focus staff on topics of diversity. Mirror Lake Elementary was designated as a “Welcoming School of Excellence” in 2014, one of 10 in the nation and has been named a “No Place for Hate” school by the Anti-Defamation League for the past four years. McIntire’s impact on her students is the most important outcome of her efforts.
The YMCA of South Palm Beach County has made a capital investment in renovating their Boynton Beach DeVos-Blum Family Y branch which first opened in 2000. To show off the Y’s new look, a ribbon cutting ceremony will be hosted on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2017, from 11am-1pm at the DeVos-Blum Family YMCA branch in Boynton Beach, 9600 S. Military Trail, Boynton Beach, FL 33436. “We are excited to show off our new Y to the community,” states Executive Director of the DeVos-Blum Family Y in Boynton Beach, Barry Davis. Renovations include a new performance training area, a newly renovated wellness center with brand new cardio
and free weight equipment, updated locker rooms, a new outside patio area, graphic walls, and new tile and paint. All are welcome to celebrate the successful completion of the Y’s renovation project. Door prizes, refreshments, on-site demos and tours will take place. “The Boynton Beach area is a special community and deserves a first class YMCA. With the renovations and the additions to this facility, we are able to expand our impact in the community,” exclaims Davis. To learn more about the YMCA of South Palm Beach County’s Boynton Beach Branch including this event, contact Executive Director, Barry Davis, at 561-738-9622 or bdavis@ymcaspbc.org

The city of Boca Raton approved redevelopment plans for an apartment complex in the northeast part of Boca that would more than double the community’s size. Park Partners Residential manages the Boca Villa Apartments, at 100 West Hidden Valley Boulevard, and a joint venture between Giles Capital Group and Rosemurgy Properties owns the complex. The owners plan to add 55 units, a new clubhouse, resort-style pool, dog park, covered parking and parking garages to the property. The city approved the expansion, which will add a five-story building, two-story building and twostory townhouse building. It currently
includes five buildings with 53 one- and two-apartments that have been renovated. Records show the complex was built in 1988 on 7.2 acres just off of North Dixie Highway, near Delray Beach. Park Partners will oversee the redevelopment project, set to break ground during the fourth quarter of this year. RLC Architects is handling the design, and Design Studio Boca is leading the landscape design. Rosemurgy and Giles Capital have partnered on other projects in Boca, including the University Park student housing development, Boca Sol and Addison Park. Alex Rosemurgy, head of Rosemurgy Properties, said in 2014 that he and his partners had invested more than $100 million in that corridor.

FAU Graduate Earns Prestigious Post-Doctoral Fellowship By: Kelsie Weekes Ramon Garcia-Areas’ groundbreaking research on breast cancer has earned him a prestigious post-doctoral fellowship at Institut Curie in Paris, one of the world’s leading research institutes. Garcia-Areas, 31, graduated from Florida Atlantic University on Friday, Dec. 16 at 9 a.m. in the Carol and Barry Kaye Auditorium with a doctorate in integrative biology. Garcia-Areas moved to the United States from Honduras in 2005, and found FAU after taking classes at nearby Palm Beach State College. He was interested in the curriculum and research opportunities at FAU, and later enrolled as an undergraduate biological sciences major. He quickly found his passion for research, and joined the lab of Vijaya Iragavarapu-Charyulu, Ph.D., associate professor in the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine, where he pursued his interest in cancer research. “From the time he started he was very motivated, showed great interest and impressed everyone with his work ethic and willingness to engage in difficult projects,” said IragavarapuCharyulu. Garcia-Areas’ research focused on a novel gene in breast cancer that can be used as a prognostic marker for
the risk of metastasis. His research was the first of its kind, and he has since been awarded a patent as the primary inventor for this new method of assessing the metastatic potential of breast

cancers. With the help of IragavarapuCharyulu, Garcia-Areas also was instrumental in forging a relationship with Boca Raton Regional Hospital, and received a $50,000 research grant from the hospital’s Eugene M. and Christine
Outside of his research accomplishments, Garcia-Areas said mentoring undergraduate students has been one of the things he enjoyed most at FAU. “I’ve been a research assistant and an instructor for the biology

honors thesis program,” he said. “I love getting to work with the undergraduates and teach them how to develop thesis projects and find funding for their ideas.” Garcia-Areas also served as the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine representative for the Graduate and Professional Student Association (GPSA) and founded the Art of Academia competition, a competition for students from all majors to showcase their research visually through artwork. As a result of these efforts, Garcia-Areas was awarded the 2014 FAU Excellence in Leadership award. “Even though Ramon has received many accolades, he remains humble and always volunteers to help others,” said Iragavarapu-Charyulu. “He enjoys lending his time and knowledge so that others can succeed in their goals.” Following his graduation, Garcia-Areas will continue his studies at Institut Curie, where he hopes to further the field of cancer research and continue to mentor the next generation of young researchers. “I’ve seen so many positive changes during my time at FAU,” he said. “I want people to see what I’ve accomplished and say ‘he went to FAU.’”

Despite Strong First Half, Boca Raton FC Falls to Brazilian Powerhouse São Paulo in First Friendly of 2017 Despite taking a 2-1 lead after 30 minutes, Boca Raton FC playing its first match of 2017 fell to Brazilian Powerhouse São Paulo 9-2 on Sunday morning at IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL, Boca Raton Football Club can hold their heads high as the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) club was able to go toe-to-toe with one of the best Brazil has to offer. The match will go down in club history as one of the most important games to be played as the organization builds for the future. For the first 30 minutes of the game, Boca Raton FC and São Paulo were evenly matched, with Boca Raton leading the game 2-1 thanks to two phenomenal goals by forward Vinicius Tupan. On both goals Tupan showed outstanding predatory instincts stripping São Paulo’s Breno Borges on the first goal artfully placing the ball in the upper right hand corner of the goal and on the second dispossessing the keeper outside the area and subsequently scoring. Playing in a new tactical formation (5-4-1), Boca Raton FC set up in a more defensive posture early on and was able to keep the prolific São Paulo attack at bay. The 5-4-1 allowed for strong defensive organization and the ability to break quickly on the counter-attack.
However, 30 minutes into the game São Paulo’s professionalism and fitness levels began to show and Boca Raton FC was unable to hold off their attack, falling behind by a 3-2 scoreline at the half. Boca Raton’s starting XI was able to play 45 minutes at a high level against a top Brazilian Serie A side. But this being the first match of the year for Boca Raton FC, a full rotation of players was brought and the second half proved to be different. Boca Raton rotated the squad by flipping the entire eleven players for the second half, showcasing a team mostly made-up from the Boca Raton High Performance Academy. The youth team got valuable experience playing against such a strong side but conceded six goals in the second half to give the Brazilian side a 9-2 victory. “Despite the scoreboard this was a win for us as a team and as an organization,” said President Douglas Heizer. “This was a huge opportunity for our players to showcase their talent with some of the best players in the world and see where we need to move towards.” Boca Raton FC resumes qualifying for the 2017 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup in March and will announce additional friendlies in the near future.

Fighting Knights Victorious in Overtime Thriller
By: Michael Demyan The Lynn University Fighting Knights took the game into overtime to win 90-85 against Tampa on Saturday after tying the game with an 18-2 run in the final minutes of regulation. Things were not looking good for the Fighting Knights as Tampa jumped out to a quick 20-3 lead to start off the game. By the end of the half, the Fighting Knights were shooting only 7-of-27 from the field. Their 23 points were the lowest to start a game since 2015. Tampa’s Mekhi Biffle tried to set the tone in the second half by sinking a jump shot to extend the lead to 40-23, but Marquan Botley responded with two straight three-pointers to cut the lead down to 11. The three-pointers were keeping them within a distant reach as they connected a total of 16 times from behind the arc compared to nine from Tampa, but as the minutes began winding down, Tampa still held onto a 12-point lead after a basket with 2:18 left on the clock. That was the last shot they made in the half though and in less than a minute, Juwan Frazier, Botley and Kevin O’Brien combined for three consecutive three-pointers to bring the Fighting Knights to within three points with 1:11 remaining. After a timeout with 20 seconds left in the game, Botley passed to Frazier who made the team’s fourth straight three-pointer with nine seconds on the clock and tied the game at 73. Tampa’s Alberto Moreno missed a layup on their last possession of regulation which put the game into overtime. “I thought we just fought back really, really, extremely hard in the last three minutes of the game,” O’Brien said. “We just really focused on defense and

just got a bunch of stops and knocked down some big shots.” Neither team scored until 3:18 were left in overtime. Austin Rettig finally got Tampa on the board first with a layup, but Frazier answered back with a threepointer during their next possession to give the Fighting Knights their first lead of the game at 76-75. After a missed three from Tampa’s Marcel Robinson, Frazier connected for another three-pointer to extend the lead to four. The Fighting Knight’s offense continued to surge as back to back successful trips to the free throw line from Darius James and O’Brien gave them an 83-75 lead with 52 seconds remaining. A three-pointer from Tampa’s Freddy Ibrahim with 11 seconds left was not enough and the Fighting Knights held onto the lead to win 90-85. “It was such a team effort just to step up in the second half and just pull this one out,” O’Brien said. “That was a great team we just beat over there and it’s a big time conference win defending the house.” O’Brien led the team with a career high 23 points coming off the bench. 21 of those came after the first half. “I just thought my teammates did an excellent job just putting me in good spots,” he said. James (15), Botley (14) and Terrell Rogers (10) also ended the game with double-digit points for the Fighting Knights and Vieux Kande recorded his eighth game of the season with 10 or more rebounds. Tampa’s Robinson led both teams with 30 points after making his first five three-point attempts. The Fighting Knights have now won eight of their past nine games and their record sits at 10-5.

Olazabal, Jimenez give Allianz Championship Spanish flavor
The Allianz Championship is going to have a Spanish flair. Not only does the PGA Tour Champion’s first full-field event include Angel Miguel Jimenez - a.k.a. the World’s Most Interesting Golfer - it also attracted Hall of Famer Jose Maria Olazabal, who will be making his debut on the 50-andolder circuit. Olazabal, who turned 50 on Feb. 5, 2016, won a pair of Masters (1994 and 1999), six PGA Tour events and 23 European Tour titles. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2009. During his prime, Olazabal battled rheumatoid arthritis in his feet so debilitating that he spent almost two years confined to a couch, literally dragging himself around. "More than once, I thought my career was over. I was not going to be able to play golf again," Olazabal said. "To be where I am now, after what I went through is quite remarkable." Olazabal played on seven European Ryder Cup teams and captained the 2012 squad that equaled the greatest comeback in Ryder Cup history. Famed instructor Butch Harmon, who worked with Olazabal, had this to say: "He's always been the ultimate warrior. I always felt like Jose Maria and
Tiger Woods are very similar, but God gave Tiger more talent. You look at Jose Maria's heart, desire and work ethic, and he had the ability to rise to the occasion." The 52-year-old Jimenez won 21 European Tour titles and was in the top 50 in the world rankings until his late-40s. His warmup routine, where he stretches on the range usually smoking a cigar, has amused many fans. But his game is no joke. Despite playing in just 21 PGA Tour Champions events, he has three wins, four seconds and 14 top-10s to earn more than $2.4 million. There will be 76 golfers in the Allianz Championship at Broken Sound and two golfistas. The Allianz Championship, Feb. 6-12, features three days of championship play, a Women's Day with a clinic and Pro-Am with LGPA Player Lexi Thompson and two days of Championship Pro-Am play pairing participants with PGA professionals. Premium ticket packages are still available for VIP and Skybox seating ranging from $50 to $150. Sponsorship packages include branded opportunities, premium seating, and a variety of invitation-only receptions, Pro-Am play, meet and- greets with the legends of golf, etc.
