Community Boca Native Promoted at NBC Entertainment

By: Michael Demyan Spanish River Community High School graduate and Boca Raton native Dean McFlicker was recently promoted to a higher position at NBC Entertainment. McFlicker has gained a lot of recognition in the entertainment industry as he has won over 35 broadcast industry awards, three NBC Universal Ovation awards for Outstanding Creativity and is a five-time Excellence in Leadership recipient. Everyone has to start somewhere though and for him, that somewhere was in Boca Raton. “I remember hanging out with my friends at Town Center Mall and directing them for a little student film,” McFlicker said. Today, he is no longer just directing a bunch of his high school friends. He is directing Hollywood productions with stars such as Carrie Underwood, Queen Latifah and fellow Boca Raton native Ariana Grande. McFlicker has always had a passion for dance to the point his mom told him he was dancing in her tummy. He recalled performing at the Delray Beach Playhouse under director Randy DelLago and taking lessons from Carol Colbert on Glades Road. “My background in Boca, from just being involved in theater and dance and performing has always been something that has contributed to my interests and my ongoing achievements,” McFlicker said. He took those interests with him to Los Angeles and landed a role in the 1992 Disney musical, “Newsies.” “When I came to LA, I had no connections,” he said. “I didn’t know

anyone in Hollywood. I didn’t have any special way in the door. I ended up working my way up and “Newsies” was a step along the way.” McFlicker stood in line all day with a number pinned to his chest for an open casting call with thousands of other people. Over the next week, he endured the process of narrowing down the possible cast members until they finally told him he was selected. “I was thrilled,” he said. “I was part of an old fashioned Hollywood musical. We rehearsed the numbers for months and then got to film it, and the crazy thing – we filmed it on the Universal Studios backlot where I work today.” Things seem to have come full circle for McFlicker, who now rides around the studio in his golf cart, seeing young dancers and remembering how he used to be in their situation. His new position at NBC Entertainment is Senior Vice President and Creative Director of Original Production, Live Events and Promotional Programming. The promotion means he will have some added responsibilities, such as directing promotional shows and specials, but he will also be continuing a lot of his previous duties, like launching and promoting NBC primetime shows. McFlicker took a long journey to where he is today, working his way up from freelance job to freelance job, and after starting out in Boca Raton, he now has opportunities to work with some of the best in the business. “When I was in my sophomore year of high school in Boca I was very proud to be in ‘Bye Bye Birdie’ and this December I’m going to get to work with Jennifer Lopez in the Hollywood version of ‘Bye Bye Birdie,’” McFlicker said. “So once again life comes full circle.”

FAU’s Diplomacy Program Earns Top Award at Model U.N. By: Brittany Sullivan The Leon Charney Diplomacy Program in Florida Atlantic University’s Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters recently received the Distinguished Delegation Award at the National Model United Nations competition in New York City. Twenty-six FAU undergraduates joined more than 5,500 college students from 350 universities in the annual competition where schools represent countries and students step into the shoes of diplomats to solve global problems. The Leon Charney Diplomacy Program, which trains students in world affairs, dispute resolution and debate, was established in 1996 and is a unit of FAU’s Peace, Justice and Human Rights Initiative. To date, the program has been awarded 19 national and international awards for academic excellence.

“The 2017 delegation worked diligently throughout the semester in preparation for nationals,” said Jeffery Morton, Ph.D., professor of political science in FAU’s Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters. “Their determination, professionalism and unbridled ambition were on display during the weeklong completion. I am so very proud of our students and delighted that their participation in the competition was recognized with the Distinguished Delegation Award.” In 2017, the program was named to honor the diplomatic legacy of Leon Charney, who played a key role in the 1978 Camp David Accords. Professor and Foreign Policy Association Fellow Jeffrey Morton directs the program, which will next compete in Nationals in Washington, D.C. in November.

PBSC Model UN team recognized as a top performer

For the second straight year, Palm Beach State College’s team of students was recognized as a top performer at the National Model United Nations Conference in New York. The eight-member PBSC Model United Nations team, which represented the country of Bahrain in the Middle East, received Honorable Mention Delegation, one of three tiers of awards. The other tiers are Distinguished Delegation and Outstanding Delegation. “Only about 20 percent of the participating teams earn recognition, so we are very proud of our accomplishment,” said Professor Terry Randolph, department chair for political science, history and geography at the Boca Raton campus and the team’s faculty advisor. The NMUN Conference, sponsored by the nonprofit National Collegiate Conference Association, is the largest of its kind in the world. Over 5,000 college and university students go to New York each spring for one of two similar conferences to discuss current global issues, representing the 193 countries that are member states of the United Nations. PBSC’s team attended Conference B held April 9-13. There were 160 to 170 teams and nearly 3,000 students from Europe, Asia, Australia, North and South America and Africa, Randolph said. Randolph said many of the colleges and universities send large delegations of 15-30 or more students and have dedicated courses their students enroll in to prepare for the conference. “Our students must do all of their training and intense conference preparation as an extracurricular activ-

ity, so I am extremely proud of their accomplishment and recognition in competition with many of the best colleges and universities from around the world. They are an amazingly talented group of students,’’ he said. PBSC Model UN team members said they appreciate the opportunity to travel to the conference for the experience. “This trip has changed my perspective on many things and has also given me the opportunity to do things I never would have had the chance to do,’’ said Nicolas Buompadre. “The biggest impact I have taken from the NMUN is the fact the there is a cohesion between nations that can be recognized through diplomacy,’’ Joseph Morel said. “We all may have different ideas or differences in the way things should be done, but the fact that you can work though these differences through diplomacy is something I feel a lot of college students never get the chance to experience. Diplomacy may be a simple word that not a lot of college students understand, or know how to effectively engage in and be successful at; however, the NMUN provides a platform for you to be able to learn and grow in, developing research skills, public speaking, problem solving, communication skills, and so much more.” Amy Abuqawod said she met lifelong friends. “Model UN really helped me develop skills of diplomacy, teamwork, compromise, and leadership,’’ she said. “I’m glad to say by the end of the conference the group that I worked with ended up all exchanging contact information and agreed to all stay in touch. These people I will never forget and this experience will never leave me.”

Sweet Dream Makers Organization Works With Boca Regional Hospital to Give Beds to Babies By: Nikki Colonna Sweet Dream Makers make it their mission to provide beds and cribs to babies who are in need. Linking their efforts with Boca West Foundation and Boca Regional Hospital makes sure that no child sleeps in an unfit setting. A grant was given 4 years ago from the Boca West Foundation to Sweet Dream Makers to work with them and fund their efforts to get bunk beds and furniture needed to help the children in the area. When the Boca West Foundation started, they aspired to stop the poverty cycle in the next generation in children by doing everything in their power to educate them so that they can function in a school environment. “We found out right away that you can't educate a child if they are hungry, or if they haven't had a good night sleep,” said Arthur Adler, Chairman of Boca West Foundation. They sought to make all aspects better for the community in order to make it possible for kids to be educated. This grant helped kick off the beginning of a good thing and as of September 2017, Sweet Dream Makers became officially a Florida non-profit corporation. Sweet Dream Makers promotes good health and wellbeing of children and their families. By donating bedding, and other necessary furniture, kids benefit and are given the opportunity to sleep in much better conditions. Executive director of Sweet Dream Makers, Suzy Broad, started as a long time volunteer throughout Boca with a bunch of her friends as ‘do-gooders’. They realized through word of mouth in the community that families needed essential furniture and the most urgent need was for beds. “The need [for beds] is staggering, and if there is a need, we can help,” said Broad. Suzy used the small grant to fund beds, starting at purchasing 2-4 a month to now about 75-100 beds a

month, ranging from cribs and toddlers to bunks and adults. Sweet Dream Makers matched up with Boca Regional Hospital to utilize them as a referral basis. Based on cases if a child is going home to a bedless house or an unsanitary sleeping space, the hospital has a place to call to help out such a situation. “We treat everyone with dignity and respect; we are not here to judge them on their situation,” added Broad. “We are here to help.” The organization provides kids and their families with a brand new bed, a mattress, box spring, pillows and sheets. They do not just fill the need of the child but of the family as well and make sure the rest of the families have all the essential furniture necessary. Such items include gently used dressers, dining room tables, sofas and more. Another level that the hospital is able to contribute to such an organization is acting as a referral base for Sweet Dream Makers. If there is a case of a family of a baby who is going home without a crib or safe sleeping arrangement, the need is referred to Sweet Dream Makers to help. “I think there is so much altruism within this community and we really do want to help each other and any partnership the hospital can have with programs like this is beneficial both ways,” said Karen Edlington, Director of Labor and Delivery at Boca Regional Hospital. Though program is unique and so far, no one is doing anything like this. This charitable organization has brought attention to this problem going through Boca Raton. People are desperate and have a need that needs to be filled. Luckily, the fix is immediate. Kids and their families have been so grateful. “We hope to continue to help those in the community because this is a need that most do not think about but it is something important that should continue to spread,” said Broad.

Make this a Happy National Volunteer Month If you walk into the lobby of one of our local hospitals chances are the person who greet or register you is a volunteer. And if you should stop by Boca Helping Hands or the Caring Kitchen in Delray Beach, you will find dozens of people serving meals to the homeless or needy among us. With April being National Volunteer Month, I thought I would take a moment to inspire, recognize, encourage and thank those who give of themselves. This is also a time for us to encourage people to seek out imaginative ways throughout the month and even year to engage in their communities. As a local volunteer for more than 30 years, I am often asked why I do the things I do in my community. My reasons are varied. However, I find that whenever I invest time and sometimes money in a child, the world shifts a bit - not just for the com-

munity, but for me as well. The feeling of giving back, belonging and making a difference enriches our lives and strengthens our communities. One of the joys of volunteerism is that there are so many different ways to do it, and sometimes, we volunteer without even making conscious recognition of it — for example, helping out at church or coaching your child in a sport. There are so many studies that show the benefits of volunteering for a community, for the organizations with whom people volunteer and for the volunteers themselves. In fact, researchers have found that volunteering is good for the volunteers’ physical and mental health – in particular, the heart, lower blood pressure, less stress and even longer lives. Studies also show that volunteering will benefit the volunteer’s career and that employees who volunteer

are better employees. Volunteering, and living in a city of volunteers, is a win-win for everyone. It is the secret to being a more welcoming and engaged community. It also allows us to engage our youth, our young professionals and our seniors in meaningful ways to give back, engage and connect. You may be one of those who sit back in your arm chair or in your corporate boardroom and say, how much good can my little 60-minutes make? Or you may think that humble old you or your ordinary company doesn’t have something valuable to offer. There are so many ongoing needs in our community, needs that can only be addressed with the help of others. In Delray Beach, the KOP Mentoring Network, which provides grassroots mentoring to children ages 7 to 17, can always use your help, whether

to read to a child, help with homework or a project, drive the van, or give some hours in another area. And there are several other amazing nonprofit organizations that can always use a willing hand, as can the elderly couple on your block struggling to keep up with their yard or home maintenance. Then, there is the single mom or dad or a homebound friend. I encourage you to take the bold step and find a cause you are passionate about. Ask your friends and neighbors how they are volunteering. There is nothing quite as rewarding as serving others and working with others who want to do the same. It is my hope that Boca Raton and Delray Beach will be the model for volunteering. In fact, we should be the volunteer capital of the world and I think we can be. Happy volunteering.

POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Be Informed! It is amazing what the current age has brought to humankind, and continues to provide. In a matter of just a few years, information truly exploded, in bringing new tools which accelerate the acquisition of important new facts, especially what can be beneficial to all humans. Sane persons desire to be informed about new trends, about dangers which may be affecting the human race, concerning the threat of terrorist organizations around the globe, about physical maladies which may be spreading world-wide, and pose a threat to everyone wherever anyone may be situation on earth. Information is most vital. People need to lead informed lives. And today

we all have the means of getting information, retaining it, and adding more to it in terms of advances or declines of the same. All humans need to be up-to-date about what is crucial for their daily operation and, especially, for their very survival on earth. We have reached a time in our lives when it is possible to carry the whole world in our hands, as far as having an operative cellular phone which can provide all the basic information one needs about weather conditions, crimes in the neighborhood, threats to one’s security, national and international happenings, and all else that gives one the opportunity to be truly prepared for whatever may come next, as well as to act in the light of what’s taking place right now!

On account of the difficult days in which we live (despite the many advances that have taken place to improve the quality of our life), we still need to take the initiative in seeking whatever will truly help us to live with confidence on account of the information we are constantly being made aware of. Even with respect to weather changes, we need to be prepared with information we secure about conditions that may bring storms, tornadoes, or other potential dangerous situations, based on scientific methods and devices that can help us intelligently to anticipate such alterations. Sadly, there are many people who don’t want to be bothered with the information that is always available. They

consider a waste of time to check the newspapers, to watch television news, to talk intelligently with neighbors and friends about conditions that surround us, wherever we may be. Let us all be more proactive in seeking information with greater diligence, and acting on it accordingly. If that is an activity which is repulsive to you, for some reason, at least find some reliable friend or relative who can keep you well informed, so that changes which are inevitable to occur won’t meet you by surprise, but will allow you to make the necessary plans to avoid the bad consequences of conditions you may have to encounter, whether you like it or not. Whatever be your way, be informed!

Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr. is a Florida resident who, for many years, was a professor at the post-graduate level.

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.

Boca Raton Resident Wins National title at the North American Bridge Championships By: Zach Evans Boca Raton resident Dr. Patricia Cayne won her first title on the Jacoby Open Swiss Teams at the North American Bridge Championships. Cayne said in an interview that she had played bridge on and off for about forty years. (NABC) This was one of fifteen championship events held in Kansas City from March 9-19. Besides playing Bridge, Cayne says she paints and studies religion, and added her husband is also a world-class bridge player. She also has played in bridge tournaments before in the past but not seriously. She went on to say that she always had a great partner but never a team like now in the past. “It was unexpected that my team would win, but my team knew we could win.” Cayne stated confidently in an interview. Cayne also has a PhD. in neuropsychology and worked as a doctor for 40 years. Cayne’s favorite part of playing was, “bidding interest in my partner’s bids.” The NABC is a part of the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL). Founded in 1937, the ABCL

is the largest bridge organization in the world with 167,000 members and 3200 bridge clubs. Bridge is a challenging and rewarding game and has had players such as Bill Gates and Warren Buffett play to poker star Phil Gordon. The game of bridge is played with four people and 52 cards. The partners are aligned north to south and east to west. In bridge bidding is a big part of the game. The point of it is to relay information to your partner. Each player gets 13 cards. The main point of bridge is for each partner to take the most tricks by bidding. The NABCs happens three times a year throughout the U.S. and Canada and bring people of all skill levels from beginners to experts to play. This win was big for Cayne because it was her first national tournament win. “It was Surreal,” said Cayne of her improbable victory. “We had come close to winning in the past, but never actually won.” The next Bridge Tournament will be held in Toronto from July 20-30, which Cayne has expressed interested in playing.

Palm Beach Dramaworks Challenges Audience with Production of “Arcadia”

By Nicholas Palmieri Palm Beach Dramaworks continues its 2016-2017 season with the challenging “Arcadia” by Tom Stoppard. The play involves two groups of people living at the same English mansion centuries apart, each separately searching for solutions to academic and personal problems. The script challenges audiences with its dense, complex dialogue about math, science, and art, all of which is delivered in an unconventional way. These topics are spread about the play in between more personal discussions, but the script still dares the audience to keep up. A testament to this production’s quality, the cast and crew deliver the show with enough personal charm to each character so the audience can hang on, and with such confidence that any potential lack of comprehension is eventually cleared up. This script was no doubt a challenge for the playhouse, and they meet the challenge assuredly. Each of the major characters brings their characters to life in their own way. Caitlin Cohn gives 19th century Thomasina the thematically important thirst for knowledge while maintaining the character’s youthful innocence. Ryan Zachary Ward as her tutor Septimus plays off her well, believably imparting that desire to learn while simultaneously connecting with her emotionally and keeping a diplomatic air. In one scene, Septimus comforts Thomasina after she breaks down over the loss of the Library of Alexandria. This situation could have seemed over-the-top, but Cohn made Thomasina’s breakdown so realistic, and Ward so poignantly delivered Septimus’s monologue to comfort her, that it changed the way I think about apparent loss of progress. In the present day, Vanessa

Morosco, Peter Simon Hilton, and Britt Michael Gordon serve as great foils for each other in terms of both ideologies and personality as Hanna, Bernard, and Valentine, respectively. Hilton stole every scene he appeared in with his larger than life personality. His expert comic timing brought a more upbeat, humorous tone to his scenes. Gordon, on the other hand, portrayed Valentine as more subdued but equally as passionate, creating great contrast. Morosco acted well as the midpoint between the two, still passionate and able to level with both characters without the explosive differences in personality the other two have. Dramaworks’ technical team continues their high caliber work here. The all white set had enough details to be interesting while providing a sort of blank canvas for everything to play out over. The costumes were also painstakingly period-accurate with every garment cut to the odd lengths which they used to be. Also worth a mention is the occasional subtle lighting effect, like the slight dim around the characters in the earlier mentioned Library of Alexandria scene. That effect in particular happened so slowly and sucked me into the scene so thoroughly that I didn’t even realize it was happening until it was over. Plot-wise there’s no final solution, per se, which fits the theme of the continuing search for knowledge. That sort of conclusion might turn some audiences off, but will feel complete on its own to others. In any case, Dramaworks knocks it out of the park with their production, so the play comes highly recommended for anyone willing to push themselves to engage with the material. “Arcadia” runs through April 30. Tickets are $66 and can be purchased via phone at (561) 514-4042 or online at palmbeachdramaworks.org.

Boca Raton Filmmakers Win “Best Short Film” at Palm Beach International Film Festival Local Boca Raton filmmakers André Heizer and Nicholas Palmieri have won “Best Short Film” at the 2017 Palm Beach International Film Festival. Their short, titled “Parent-Teacher Conference,” premiered as part of the festival’s Day of Shorts at Keiser University on Saturday, April 1. It follows a teacher and the mother of a student as they clash over how to handle the student’s grades. Heizer directed the short, Palmieri wrote it, and the two co-produced it together. The two worked with a team of others in Boca Raton and the surrounding areas, including actors Lily Elowitch and Michelle Domb. Principal photography took place over the course of one day at a Boca Raton school, and the overall timeframe from conception to completion was under two months. “We’re honored,” said Heizer. “This is our first short film, so we weren’t

expecting anything like this. It’s crazy. We just wanted to make something that rang true to us. It’s great that other people have been connecting with it too.” snap1“There was a great audience response at the screening,” said Palmieri. “The teachers in the audience all really enjoyed it and said how realistic the conference was. It’s always nice to hear positive things from people who have been in that situation.” The two have already applied to more festivals around the state and are waiting to hear back from them. After that? “Nick and I work great together, so we’re definitely going to keep collaborating,” said Heizer. “We like to capture the humor and drama in everyday situations. Whatever our next project ends up being, hopefully it will speak to people in the same way this film did.”

Boca Raton Launches MyBocaLink App

The City of Boca Raton is proud to announce the launch of its new app, MyBocaLink. As a complement to the newly redesigned website www.myboca. us, the app has a similar design style and even more mobile convenience. The app was specifically developed to provide citizens and visitors with access to Boca Raton information and services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. MyBocaLink was the name of the City’s communication landing page prior to the launch of redesigned City site. “MyBocaLink was a valuable tool for the media and the community while we were redesigning the City’s web-

site,” said Chrissy Gibson, Communications and Marketing Manager for the City. “We kept the name for the City’s new app because we felt it was self-explanatory and had some familiarity. This app will serve as the link to all City programs, services, meetings, events, and information.” The MyBocaLink app has convenient features for users on the go including the Report A Concern button. When location services are enabled, users can take a photograph of an issue they see, GPS tracking will complete the location and the user can submit the concern to the City. This same feature, which can be found on the City’s website, has been one of the most popular and convenient tools offered for reporting road and landscaping issues, graffiti, certain code violations and general, non- emergency concerns. App users can also quickly tap on Beach Conditions, check the City’s Calendar or find a facility based on amenities, like basketball courts or playgrounds. Users can also sign up to receive newsletters and notifications. MyBocaLink is available for download in both the Apple and Google Play stores.

By: Kelsie Weekes Florida Atlantic University’s annual Dance Marathon fundraiser raised a record $242,718.17 for the Children’s Miracle Network (CMN). The number is a 30 percent increase from last year’s record of $188,234.16 Proceeds from OwlThon will go directly to University of Florida’s Shands Children’s Hospital in Gainesville. “Based upon the feedback, this is the most motivational and inspiring OwlThon we’ve ever had,” said Darby Sampson, university relations chair for OwlThon. “I am extremely proud that we were able to have such an important impact on the FAU student body.”

More than 400 participants danced on their feet for 13.1 hours, which was meant to give them a greater understanding of the struggles that children go through as they are treated for their illnesses at CMN hospitals. The event featured a bounce house, dodgeball tournament, seven different “theme hours” that students dressed up and danced to, and guest speakers including families of children that are being treated at Shands Children’s Hospital. FAU is one of more than 300 schools across the country raising money for the Children’s Miracle Network. Last year alone, dance marathons raised more than $31 million for CMN hospitals.

• Dr. Richard Staller and Advanced Dentistry-South Florida are sponsoring a fun fundraiser to freeze out childhood cancer April 29 from 2 to 5 pm at Ben & Jerry’s , 1155 E. Atlantic. Ave. Delray Beach to benefit The Anthony Rizzo Family (former Chicago Cubs first baseman) and P4 Foundations. Celebrity scoopers include Delray Mayor Carey Glickstein, FAU Head Football Coach and 850’s morning radio personality Rich Stevens. Money raised for these organizations go DIRECTLY to childhood cancer research and the families affected. Less than 3% of cancer funding today goes toward childhood cancer research…it’s alarming how little funding they get. Here is the link to the GoFundMe page: https://www.gofundme. com/freeze-out-childhood-cancer. Also on Facebook. • Boca Raton City Councilman Jeremy Rodgers is the new deputy mayor and re-elected Mayor Susan Haynie welcomed a second woman to the dais after a packed swearing-in ceremony in council chambers. Councilwoman Andrea Levine O’Rourke took the seat vacated by former Deputy Mayor Mike Mullaugh. • The Diplomat Hotel and Spa has undergone a complete remodeling and a new name to the Diplomat Resort, adding a new restaurant and two suites, totaling 1,000, the largest in Palm Beach County. • Comcast is looking to hire 600 more technicians in the area. • Ten Palm Beach County schools will be getting promised construction upgrades starting this summer, Superintendent Robert Avossa said. The projects, funded

by a penny sales tax increase that voters approved in November, include paving at Del Prado Elementary in Boca Raton and water intrusion repairs at Eagles Landing Middle, west of Boca Raton. Avossa said at a press conference he plans to provide quarterly updates on progress to the School Board and public. • Daggerwing Nature Center is breaking out the ladybugs for the annual free Earth Day bash billed as “Come Celebrate the Planet!” “This year our theme is reduce, reuse, recycle refuse,” said Sean Mallee, manager of Palm Beach County’s nature center in Burt Aaronson South County Regional Park in West Boca. • Free seminars at the Faulk Center for Counseling, 22455 Boca Rio Road, Boca Raton First Wednesdays of each month, 11 a.m. – 12 noon – see specific dates below*: Altered States of Consciousness In Therapy May 3, 2017 – Feminist Therapy June 7, 2017 – Autism Spectrum Disorders. All seminars are presented by Faulk Center for Counseling graduate students pursuing master’s degrees or doctoral degrees in psychology, social work or mental health counseling. No cost to attend. *Dates subject to change. • The body found in Mizner Park over the weekend was that of an 18-year-old Lynn University student, Boca Raton police said Monday. Security and cleaning workers found Shayan Mortazavi’s body behind Truluck’s restaurant about 6 a.m. Saturday at Mizner Park, the retail and entertainment complex in downtown Boca. Mortazavi’s injuries were consistent with a fall, but police have declined to release more details, citing the open investigation. It’ll be up to the medical examiner to determine his cause of death, police said.

How Do You Handle Your Anger? Two executives had become locked in an ongoing feud that was beginning to have a negative impact on their company. After all internal efforts to settle the dispute had failed, the CEO of the organization asked if I would be willing to try and be a peacemaker between the two. Both men professed to be followers of Jesus Christ, so I thought that might make my job a bit easier. I would attempt to hear and understand both sides of the story and then seek to apply appropriate biblical principles for resolving the conflict. After interviewing each person separately, I brought them together and explained what I believed God desired to happen in this situation. Moments later I watched as God did an astounding work in both of their hearts. These two men looked at each other and embraced as brothers sharing a common bond in Christ. Then they prayed for each other, making a commitment to continue doing so in the future. As I observed this spontaneous healing of their professional relationship, I thought of the words Jesus taught in Matthew 5:9: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.” We live in a world – including the workplace – where animosity and adversarial relationships seem the rule rather than the exception. Competition, jealousy, vindictiveness and other destructive feelings leave little room for “peace” in the business and professional world. In fact, conflict is so commonplace, it seems the capacity for making peace has largely

been lost. Hence the need for “peacemakers,” as Jesus pointed out. I was privileged and blessed to be a part of something amazing God did in the lives of these two business leaders. It was not skills, profound insights or any special techniques that enabled me to facilitate this process to a successful conclusion. God did the work. However, it is true that He uses peacemakers to bring healing. He might want to use you, as well. It is important to note there is a difference between peacemaking and “peacekeeping.” Peacekeeping often consists only in looking the other way, ignoring the conflict, and foolishly hoping it will just disappear on its own. This rarely is the case. Peacemaking involves intentionally and purposefully addressing the conflict – and all of the parties involved – with the goal of finding a solution that is acceptable to everyone. Ideally, the resolution represents a “win-win,” with no one feeling their needs or interests were not taken into account. Peace should be a hallmark of all who profess to follow Jesus Christ, and as such we have an obligation to assist in making peace whenever we can. It is not always easy – bringing harmony out of discord can be hard work. But we are exhorted to do it just the same. “No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it” (Hebrews 12:11).

More Crashes and Mayhem in “Fate of the Furious”

Charlotte’s Travels

Photos by Charlotte Beasley

I attended the birthday of artist, Yaacov Heller’s wife, Sue at Gallery 22. A large crowd of friends enjoyed several singers including the Rhythm Chicks and Ron Roberts, a delicious birthday cake was served to the guests.

Bam! Pow! Screech! Ka-boom! That’s just about all you need to know about “Fate of the Furious.” This is chapter eight in the continuing saga of illegal street racers, starring Vin Diesel and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as rival racers who are forced to work together. Vin Diesel has been with the franchise since its beginning in 2001. He has also been producer of chapters four through eight. A unique fact about this film is that it is the first American film shot on location in Cuba in 50 years. In Chris Morgan’s sixth script, Vin Diesel’s character of Dominic “Dom” Toretto is newly-wed to his longtime girlfriend Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez). The honeymoon is interrupted when Dom is challenged to a race by a Cuban local. The race seems a mismatch. Dom is in a ramshackle 1950 Chevy versus a souped-up 1956 Ford. Ah, but Dom is resourceful. The franchise is based on amazing car stunts, each one more outrageous than the last. Dom and the CGI-enhanced car stunts never disappoint. Dom is momentarily distracted from his racing and honeymoon by a mysterious beautiful woman who coerces him into going in in cahoots with her. Turns out Dom has a son he never knew about, and the woman known only as Cipher (Charlize Theron) has him and his mother imprisoned. www.bocaratontribune.com

Charlize Theron is one of the most beautiful villains in cinematic history. Her first lieutenant is a redbearded madman known as Rhodes (Kristopher Hivju). The action shifts to Iceland, where Dom is ordered to steal a suitcase filled with codes for nuclear weapons. Production notes tell me the tech team set up the most spectacular explosion ever filmed in Iceland. I believe it. I between there is a diversion and yet another spectacular car race on the streets of Manhattan. Director F. Gary Gray (“Straight Out Of Compton”) has the good sense to punch up the humor in the ridiculously far-fetched script. Dom has an able foil in Luke Hobbs, played by the massive Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Jason Statham returns for a few yucks as Deckard as do Ludacris and Tyrese Gibson as members of Dom’s merry band. These F&F yarns always end inconclusively. Producer Diesel has stated there will be two more chapters before the cars go into the garage. We can look forward to them in 2018 and 2019. “Fast & Furious” became Universal Pictures most successful franchise of all time by 2015. Why would they kill a good thing? Two and a half stars

sports Lynn Hires New Volleyball Assistant Coach

Resilient Owls Rally From 5-0 Deficit To Defeat Marshall 12-6

By: Michael Demyan Former College of Central Florida head coach Flavia Siqueira has been announced as Lynn University’s new assistant volleyball coach. Siqueira has spent the last six years with CF and led them to an overall record of 188-59, six conference titles, an FCSAA State Championship and an NCJAA District P Championship. During the 2016 season, the team had a perfect record in their conference. Her player development skills are well-known, as the six-time Mid-Florida Conference Coach of the Year recipient has helped with the development of two FCSAA State Players of the Year and an NCJAA National Player of the Year. “She’s extremely experienced, has a track record for recruiting elite level players and is highly regarded for developing young women on and off the court,” head coach Adam Milewski said. “Coach Siqueira’s values and work ethic were a perfect match for us at Lynn University.” Before her coaching days, Siqueira was a part of two top four national finishes at Western Nebraska Community College before taking the University of Mary to its first ever top 10 ranking. She starting her head coaching career in 2007 with the College of the Southwest and then took a coaching job at Northwest College. During her time with Northwest, Siqueria led the team to a regional championship and an NJCAA national tournament berth. In 2009, the American Volleyball Coaches Association awarded her the 30 Under 30 Award.

By: Jack Rubin Last season, the Lynn Fighting Knights’ volleyball team finished with a 20-11 record and were eliminated in the first round of the NCAA South Region Tournament after a loss against Tampa. They are excited to see what Siqueria can do for them this year after her previous accomplishments as a head coach. “So far she’s been a great addition. She’s changed our practices. She’s made it more intense and is just making it a more competitive atmosphere for all of us,” defensive specialist Ariana Rodriguez said. Siqueria will be adjusting to the assistant coaching role instead of a head coaching role, but she is ready to step in and help the team grow stronger. “Coach Milewski and I have similar but also different philosophies, which is a great advantage as our ultimate goal is to find what is best for our players and program,” she said.

In a game that featured a benchclearing brawl mixed with rain and runs, the Florida Atlantic University Owls defeated Marshall University by a score of 12-6. Marshall (17-17, 6-8 C-USA) met FAU (24-9-1, 11-3 C-USA) on Saturday afternoon in game two of the series after the Owls took game 1, 7-3. Marc Stewart was on the bump for the Owls while Wade Martin took the hill for the Thundering Herd. Owls starter Marc Stewart needed 34 pitches to record the game’s first three outs, and he threw just 17 strikes. He struggled with his command, especially with two strikes in the count. The walks he surrendered with two outs proved to be costly as both crossed the plate. The Herd batted around in the first, scoring all of their runs with two outs to take an early 4-0 lead. After the Owls went down in order in the bottom of the first, Stewart settled into the game in the second. He walked another batter with two strikes but stranded the runners at first and second by inducing a groundout to finish the frame. On the other hand, Marshall starter Wade Martin started the game strong with consecutive thirteen-pitch perfect innings. Stewart struggled again in the third, which was ultimately his last inning. A Billy Sager sacrifice fly extended Marshall’s lead to five with one out in the inning. FAU manager John McCormack had seen enough, lifting Stewart after just 2.1 innings. He allowed six hits, three walks, and five runs on 67 pitches. Freshman Andrew Jones entered the game for FAU, trailing 5-0. FAU had their first baserunner in catcher Pedro Pages after Martin had registered the first seven outs. Two singles from Rivera and Frank followed, loading the bases for senior DH Jared Shouppe.

www.bocaratontribune.com

Battling Martin in a nine pitch at-bat, Shouppe drew a walk to re-load the bases for Esteban Puerta, who lined a single to left field that scored Rivera. Rivera scored, but Marshall left fielder Sam Finfer nailed Tyler Frank at the plate in a play where FAU’s leadoff man probably should have stayed at third. FAU cut the Herd’s lead to three. FAU’s pitching struggles continued in the fourth, as Andrew Jones gave up two quick hits. Shane Hanon hit a sharp ground ball to Jones and reached on a bad mental gaffe by the pitcher. Jones decided to attempt to catch Ratliff on third base instead of throwing to first for the out, allowing another Marshall run. Meanwhile, the Owls began to slowly chip away at Marshall’s lead. A Pages sacrifice fly drove in Austin Langham to cut their deficit to three again. The sixth inning saw a two-out double by David Miranda make the score 6-4 before the Owls exploded in the seventh inning. Wade Martin’s day was finally done after 108 pitches over six innings for the Thundering Herd. Once Marshall righty Matt Reed relieved Martin, the Owls started hitting and never looked back. Their seven-run barrage was highlighted by Tyler Frank’s leadoff home run, Langham’s two-out RBI double, and five total runs scored with two outs. Sparks started to fly after FAU scored their sixth run of the inning. Matt Reed was very frustrated and let his anger get the best of him, resulting in his ejection. Marshall manager Jeff Waggoner was also ejected. When Frank then came to the plate and doubled in another run, the benches cleared. There were no ejections from the brawl. FAU left the seventh with a commanding 11-6 lead. Four FAU players had at least two hits, including shortstop Tyler Frank who went 3/5 at the dish. He ranks fourth in the C-USA in batting average. Frank leads the conference in OBP, where fellow Owls Stephen Kerr and Austin Langham also rank inside the top five. Owls reliever Mark Nowatnick delivered four key scoreless innings to earn the victory. Of his 46 pitches, 36 were strikes. The Owls rallied from a 5-0 deficit to win 12-6. They are back in action looking to sweep Marshall Sunday afternoon.
