COMMUNITY

Mizner Plaza Hotel Development Approved in Boca Raton 4-1

The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) approved the Mizner Plaza Hotel Individual Development with amendments Tuesday afternoon, passing by a four-one vote.Shopping & Retailers

The meeting was held as a quasi-judicial hearing, with the Mizner Plaza Hotel Individual Development as the primary focus.

Amendments to the development plan include an off-site parking contingency within 600 feet if onsite parking is insufficient, a raised buffered crosswalk between Tower 155 and the new property subject to public works review, pre- and post-construction structural evaluations, vibration monitoring requirements, and applicant responsibility for ongoing maintenance and resurfacing of the full-width alley. Additional conditions are contingent on Tower 155 or its association providing reasonable access for surveys and monitoring.

The approved mixed-use project

will be located at 132 and 170 NE 2nd Street, spanning approximately 1.65 acres. The Mizner Plaza Hotel Individual Development includes a 12-story hotel with 219 rooms and approximately 275,412 square feet of total building area. Plans also include 30,840 square feet of retail and restaurant space, consisting of 12,000 square feet designed for restaurant use and 18,840 square

The project proposes internal structured parking with 330 spaces and a building height of 140 feet, or 141 feet 6 inches with architectural features. Additional elements include a 20-foot-tall, 56-foot-4-inch-wide public staircase aligned with Mizner Park, a 275-footlong pedestrian promenade, widened sidewalks ranging from 15 to 19 feet

on NE 2nd Street, a protected five-foot bike lane, and a six-foot covered walkway in the rear. The alley will be widened from 10 feet to 20 feet.West Boca Real Estate

Concerns about the project were raised during public comment from nearby residents, including those from Tower 155 and other community members.

Residents of Tower 155 stated that the development could pose safety and structural risks to their adjacent building due to deep excavation. They requested pre-construction structural review of their building, along with continuous vibration monitoring. A majority of Tower 155 residents expressed they wished that the project were smaller.

Supporters of the project, including other residents, property owners, and proponents, described it as iconic, pedestrian-first, and catalytic for Mizner Park and downtown vibrancy, as well as key to downtown economic vitality.

Boca Raton Approves Incentives for Quantum Computing Company

Boca Raton City Council unanimously approved an economic incentive package for D-Wave Quantum Inc. during a regular City Council meeting Tuesday evening.Election Coverage

The measure passed 5-0 as part of the council’s consent agenda and provides up to $500,000 in incentives through the city’s economic development program.

The incentive is performance-based and will be distributed over time, not as a lump sum. Payments are tied to specific milestones, including the creation of 100 new jobs within five years. The

positions are expected to offer an average salary of approximately $125,000 per year.

D-Wave, a publicly traded quantum computing company headquartered in Palo Alto, CA, plans to expand its presence in Boca Raton through a partnership with Florida Atlantic University.

As part of a separate $20 million agreement, the company will install a commercial quantum computer on the FAU campus, providing students and researchers with hands-on access to advanced technology.

City officials described the project as a significant economic win for Boca Raton, with expected benefits including attracting high-tech talent and supporting collaboration with local industries.

Council members expressed pride in bringing a leading technology company to the city, viewing the project as a long-term economic anchor.

MONDAY MANNA

Creating A Winning Corporate Culture

The marketplace worships competition, bigger numbers, faster growth, and relentless pursuit of the next win. The pressure never lets up: grow revenue and capacity, expand, outperform. But the truth is, you can run hard and still cross the wrong finish line. How can we know which is the right finish line? Jesus Christ’s words cut through the noise: “Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you” (Matthew 6:33). That is not a call to abandon excellence or shrug off results; it is a call to reorder them. Excellence still matters, but the aim changes. The scoreboard is no longer expansion or applause; it is obedience. The pace is no longer set by adrenaline or ambition; it’s governed by eternity.

Hebrews 12 says, “Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith.” That phrase –“the race set before us” – matters. It means the path God has designed for you, not someone else’s. Not the path that culture celebrates or your ego prefers, but the one bound to God’s purposes through your life. Yet we drift. Comparison pulls us into someone else’s lane, chasing their influence instead of following our calling. Comfort tempts us to reshape the race for safety and ease. Distraction eats at our focus, filling our minds with noise until eternity fades from view. Still, the call remains: Keep running the race God has actually given you.

What does that look like for leaders in the marketplace? Three things mark those who run well.

Run the right race. Comparison is poison. Faithfulness isn’t imitation but obedience. You have been wired for a specific assignment; people, places, and purposes that God fitted for His glory through your life. Stop glancing sideways; run forward with endurance and conviction. The lane God gave you is exactly wide enough for carrying out His will.

Seek the Kingdom first. Comfort and control will always compete for your loyalty. Kingdom-first leadership refuses to make personal ease the goal. Success must be defined by what aligns

with God’s character, promises, and commands, not by what insulates you from risk. The race of faith will always stretch you beyond what feels manageable, because grace meets you where comfort will not.

Finish well. The trumpet will sound. Christ will return. On that day, the metrics that ruled your calendar will not matter. What will matter is endurance; did you stay the course, with your eyes fixed on Jesus? Falling does not disqualify you; refusing to get up does. The Christian life is not about flawless execution but about relentless faithfulness. When you stumble, repent quickly, stand up, and keep running. Keep loving even when it costs you. Keep forgiving even when it hurts. Keep serving even when no one sees. Perseverance is the true proof of devotion.

The marketplace will always measure your worth by pace and performance, by who is ahead and who is behind. Christ, however, measures it by endurance, by the quiet strength of a heart that refuses to quit when the crowd moves on. He isn’t impressed by speed but by surrender, not by spotlight but by steadfastness. In the end, the voice of the market will fade, and the voice of Jesus will remain:

Run your race. Eyes up. Kingdom first. Finish well.

One Step to a Closer Relationship with God FAITH

“If you return to me, I will restore you so you can continue to serve me.”

Jeremiah 15:19 (NLT)

When you become a believer in Christ, you’re born into God’s family, and you can’t be unborn. Although sin can disrupt how close you feel to God, you still have a relationship with him. You’re always just one step away from coming back and growing close again.

So, what should you do when you sin? One word: Return! Come back to Christ. It’s that simple.

God says in Isaiah 1:18, “No matter how deep the stain of your sins, I can take it out and make you as clean as freshly fallen snow” (TLB).

If ever there were a sin you’d think was unforgivable, it would be denying Jesus three times on the night he was betrayed. But Jesus knew Peter would deny him, and he even knew Peter would come back to him. In fact, before it even happened, Jesus said to Peter in the Upper Room, “I have pleaded in prayer for you that your faith should not completely fail. So when you have repented and turned to me again, strengthen and build up the faith of your brothers” (Luke 22:32 TLB).

Jesus knew Peter’s ministry would be more effective after his denial than it was before. And, sure enough, it was!

Peter wrote two books of the Bible: 1

Peter and 2 Peter. Later he shared his memoirs with a relative, and that became the Gospel of Mark.Christianity

You may think God has forgotten you. He hasn’t. The Good Shepherd leaves the 99 sheep to go after the one that is wandering (Matthew 18:1214). He knows how you’ve fallen away. Whether it’s happened through one giant step or a series of small steps, you may not feel as close to Jesus as you used to be. If that’s you, pray what David prayed when he came back to God after committing adultery. He said, “Restore to me the joy of your salvation” (Psalm 51:12 NLT). David did not have to pray, “God, restore to me my salvation,” because he hadn’t lost his salvation. He had lost the joy.

If you’ve lost your joy, you’re only one step in faith away from returning to God and being restored in every way. Why not come home to Christ today?

Talk It Over

What keeps you from talking to God and repenting after you’ve sinned? What do you need God to restore in your life that has been broken because of sin?

How can you be more effective for Christ by turning in repentance to him? What do you want to accomplish for God’s Kingdom?

SOLVITUR AMBULANDO

Mendacity

“In war, truth is the first casualty.” It’s a line often attributed to Aeschylus, and it has never lost its relevance. Sometimes the culprit is the observer—the propagandizing correspondent, the mythologizing historian. Now, three weeks into a war of choice, the chief offender is the President of the United States.

David Remnick

The fib was first uttered on February 28th, at 2:30 am. It has gone through multiple iterations in the days since. We were told of an “imminent threat”. Six months after we were assured of an “obliteration”. We have been bombarded at home by inconsistent and, at times, conflicting messages. Why are we doing this? Why now? What price will we have to pay? How and when does it end? How will we know success when we see it?

Having never been exposed to life threatening combat, our narcissistic President has scripted a role that satisfies his idea of a wartime Commander-in-Chief. The only prop is a cartoonish, oversized baseball cap. The tone is full bombastic, hyperbolic, and insulting trash talk. Straight out of the MMA cage. Aesop would have a field day writing a fable

about this episode.

Who else in this universe asks for a favor while insulting the potential donor? Makes a tasteless joke, publicly, about a head of state sitting beside him? This war is being prosecuted by psychologically damaged individuals, with no sense of the gravitas required to send young men and women into harms way.

We are into a fourth week of a global Demolition Derby, narrated by a carnival barker. His followers love the way he struts, talks, bullies, lies. That is, until one of their kids are called on to play a role in this “show”. No one remembers the steadying leadership of Churchill, Eisenhower, Marshall, Mark Clark. It’s all Rambo, all Call of Duty, all Don Rickles.Politics

He is going to pull out in the next few days. A loser. The mullahs have beat him, not with munitions, but with gas prices. They will live to fight another day. And, now the gloves are off. We are living in a far less stable world than we were a year ago. Because of vanity. Because of hubris. Because, like always, we have fought the last war instead of the present one. And, because the truth was the first casualty.

May We Help Restore Iran To Respectability Once Again

They’re far from two guys running street gangs looking to pick a fight or battle over turf. Nor are they a couple of land-grabbing conquerors. Instead, you might say what Trump and Bibi are all about is doing what they believe in their hearts and feel in their guts is the fair and right thing to do to rid a region of bellicose rulers, a bunch of merciless bad guys before they corral, clobber and execute too many good ones.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Bibi Netanyahu are the proverbial good guys leading democracies trying to crush a totalitarian regime before its missiles go haywire, cause nuclear calamity, destruction and death. And a brave and mighty U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines has Trump’s back now on a mission to restore order, plus justice and peace.

No, I don’t like warfare any more than you do. Wars are the pits, the worst way to settle disputes. And today they’re more destructive and deadly than ever, like this one against a radical regime that slaughters its own people for daring to protest while attacking countries nearby with lethal missiles and deadly drones.

Why are so many worried about a nuclear armed Iran? There are plenty of reasons. One is why would you want a bully to be stronger, deadlier? After showing its penchant for murdering by a mishigas of missiles, and now on the way to developing nuclear warheads, the violence-prone, anti-American Islamic Republic of Iran has emerged as a vicious global threat.

weapons.

But is war the only solution? How about deeper, more sincere peace talks with Iran? Unfortunately, peace talks are like tangos. They take two and Iran wasn’t dancing. America tried its best to not let war become that nightmarish journey to peace for in warfare there are always innocent casualties, inevitable mistakes, such as when an apparently misdirected Tomahawk hit near an Iranian school killing so many children. How tragic. How sad!

But what can we do? Right or wrong, our president felt compelled to take on an evil adversary before this hostile regime attacked us, trying once again to fulfill its death wish for Americans as it has already fulfilled many times before and now was nearing technological capability of producing weapons-grade uranium, making it a more formidable foe about to enter the devasting nuclear threshold state.

Western intelligence agencies estimate that given its stockpile and centrifuge capacity, Iran could produce enough weapons-grade uranium for a nuclear bomb. The U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency figured it could take Iranian fanatics less than a week to produce sufficient fissile material and perhaps just a few more to assemble a deliverable nuclear device. So, if it chose to do so, Iran had the technical capability to actively pursue the most lethal weaponization. Imagine that in the hands of a zealous dictator, albeit one cloaked in religion but out to kill?

The Iranian regime has invested heavily not only in uranium and missile technology, but many believe also in terror networks spanning continents. Leading journalists have reported the regime’s fingerprints found on bombings, assassinations, cyberattacks, and propaganda meant to destabilize governments, and threaten human freedom throughout its region and beyond.

A major German journalist once called Iran “the most aggressive and dangerous totalitarian force of our time.” But does that mean all Iranians are dangerous? HELL NO! Those who waged that revolution were not the Iranian people, but the current crop of

How do you think that ominous thought made one of America’s closest friends and staunchest allies feel? Yes, Israel found itself way too close to a menacing tiger about to sprout nuclear fangs! Then when negotiators seemed to be stalling and with talks going nowhere, it stirred fears of an impending attack, raising the provocative question: “do we let them strike first?”

City of Boynton Beach Swears in Two City Commissioners While Saying Farewell to Another

Many residents showed up to the city commission meeting in Boynton Beach last night to say a farewell to Vice Mayor Woodrow Hay who is retiring.

They also were there to wish the two city commissioners, Mack McCray and Aimee Kelley good luck as they were sworn in for new terms. They both ran unopposed.Beaches & Islands

Former Vice Mayor Woodrow Hay was recognized for his 20 plus years of service. Key proclamations by the city commission for the month of March included Florida Bicycle Month, National Procurement Month and the 134th anniversary of Greater St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church in Boynton Beach.

In addition, the meeting highlighted the importance of public service, community engagement and the need

for transparency and accountability in government. Many residents came out to speak including voicing concerns over historic preservation and the potential overreach of surveillance systems in the City of Boynton Beach. Other agenda items included a discussion by the Director of Economic Development of the city, about the promotion and management of a CDGE small business grant program of up to $25,000 per eligible business to help business owners with low to moderate income or located in an area with low to moderate income level. Another program that the city is engaged in is an EDGE workforce training program

in conjunction with Palm Beach State College where they distribute donated laptops to trainees.

Commissioner Thomas Turkin was nominated to be Vice Mayor in place of retiring Vice Mayor Woodrow Hay. Susan Oyer was announced as a new member to the Historic Preservation Board and Amanda Cowan was announced to the Senior Advisory Board.

Other highlights in the meeting included a discussion and proposal to expand the Sara Sims Memorial Cemetery to include more plots and a discussion of the surveillance systems that the Boynton Beach police already have in place and want to expand.

City of Boynton Beach Police Department Proposes Expansion of Technology to Combat Crime

Po -

lice Department to expand its existing technology to combat crime. The police department is already using cameras, drones and license plate cameras to fight crime, but now they want to expand this technology. They want to purchase a comprehensive safe city deployment technology package and increase the use of this technology. This raises many concerns of privacy and 4thamendment potential violations for residents. Some city council members are also concerned and raised many questions for the police department. City & Local Guides

The police department emphasized

their success with drones and cameras in catching criminals and the pluses that the technology provides. The technology helps with the crime rate. Technology is crucial to their success and officers show up faster and have better decision-making capabilities with the technology. The company providing the FLOCK technology to the city and the police say that the data and information collected by the police on citizens is only accessible by the police and the information is owned by the city. Images, such as license plate numbers, are deleted after 30 days and the information gathered is encrypted. While

hacking of the private information is possible, it is not likely.

FLOCK is an American manufacturer and operator of security hardware and software, particularly automated license plate recognition, video surveillance, and gunfire locator systems, and supporting software to integrate the data gathered by these technologies. Some residents are worried about the potential misuse of the gathered information, along with some city council members. Therefore, the issue was tabled until the next city commission meeting where more information will be provided.

Judy Mollica Interview: Winner of Seat on Delray City Commission

The

mindset. Throughout the campaign, I consistently heard concerns about the chaos on the dais, and from day one I want to focus on cooperation across the entire commission, not just parts of it. In my first 90 days, my priorities will center on addressing traffic and affordability, since those are the issues, residents raised most often.

Vision & Leadership

I believe leadership is defined by the ability to bring people together around a common goal. That means working with both businesses and residents to create solutions that benefit everyone and strengthen our community. My vision is a Delray Beach where families can thrive and businesses can grow, and I believe those two goals can exist together.

Growth, Development & Housing

As a real estate broker, I work directly with housing challenges and understand how difficult it can be for families to find affordable options. I will support policies like tax incentives for developers who build within attainable price ranges, while also working toward clearer zoning standards. At the same time, we need to make sure growth does not come at the expense of our city’s character and culture.

Infrastructure & Quality of Life

Traffic concerns were one of the main reasons I decided to run for office. We need to invest in better public transportation and partner with the private sector to create more walkable areas that reduce congestion. Once we lower that strain, we can move forward with infrastructure improvements that

support residents without disrupting daily life.

Economic Development

Delray Beach should continue to be a place where small businesses can thrive because they are a key part of our local economy and identity. Atlantic Avenue has seen strong growth, and instead of ignoring it, we should work with stakeholders to guide that development responsibly. Our goal should be balanced economic growth that supports both residents and business owners.

Top six things to look for in a senior primary care provider

Healthcare isn’t the same as one ages. Seniors have different health needs, so it makes sense to choose primary care centered on seniors. Here are some things to consider:

1. Care access. Does the doctor offer same-day appointments? If there is a concern after hours, is the care team available 24/7 over the phone?

2. More one-on-one time with the doctor. It’s important for a doctor to really get to know their patient. That takes time— time for patients to ask questions and the time for the doctor to answer them thoroughly.

3. Senior-focused. Make sure the doctor and care team see just seniors. They’ll have more up-todate information on what it takes for seniors to feel their best.

4. Proactive approach to care. The doctor should see patients routinely to monitor their health and detect and treat any issue early.

5. Dedicated care team. Ideally, a patient's care

Brought to you by

team should include a board-certified doctor, a behavioral health specialist, a care coach and, in some cases, a clinical pharmacist. They should work together, so they see a broader view of their patient’s physical, mental and social wellbeing.

6. Accepts Medicare. Have the provider confirm if they accept Medicare plans. If someone has paid into Medicare their entire working life, they should reap the benefits of lowcost healthcare coverage and not pay more than they need to.

When it comes to aging well, it’s important to choose primary care that centers on seniors’ needs. This, along with a proactive approach to healthcare, helps patients thrive and continue enjoying the things they love.

Two New Exhibits Open at the Boca Raton Museum of Art: TYPOE GRAN and Modernisms from the Manes Collection

Two new exhibitions have opened at the Boca Raton Museum of Art: TYPOE GRAN: Anatomy of a Practice and Modernisms: Art from the Manes Collection. Both exhibitions run from March 25, 2026, to October 11, 2026.

The shows explore how artists create new visual languages in response to political, technological, and social change, and how they adapt, transform, or reject visual conventions to address the pressures of modern life. Both exhibitions highlight the continuity between historical modernism and contemporary artistic practice.

These are the first exhibitions under chief curator Dr. Keffie Feldman.

“These shows may seem somewhat different at first glance, they’re actually part of an art historical conversation that has relevance today,” Feldman said at a preview reception for members Monday evening.

TYPOE GRAN: Anatomy of a Practice

Miami-based artist TYPOE GRAN is featured in his first solo museum exhibition. Known for painting, sculpture, murals, and installation, Gran’s glossy, colorful works belie the creative chaos behind them. TYPOE GRAN: Anatomy of a Practice invites visitors to explore his process, tracing his world-building from concept to execution. The exhibition includes site-specif-

ic murals, charcoal drawings, sculpture, and lightboxes, offering an immersive experience.Visual Art & Design

Major themes of the exhibition include dichotomies in human experience: joy versus anxiety, and nature versus artifice. One highlight is Gran’s largest drawing to date, measuring 10 feet by 25 feet.

“I really just wanted to try to bring

the world as I see it, so hopefully that will give everybody else the courage to show the world that they see and for all of us to connect and build a better world,” Gran said Monday evening.

Modernisms: Art from the Manes Collection

Modernisms: Art from the Manes Collection presents over a century of work by pioneers of twentieth-centu-

ry artistic movements. From drawings by Picasso to prints by Jasper Johns, the exhibition shows how art informs and responds to broader social and political movements. A key tension in twentieth-century art was between figuration and abstraction; this exhibition explores how artists rejected old visual paradigms to express essential elements of the human experience.

All works are drawn from the collection of Dr. Harvey Manes, many of which have been promised to the museum for future generations. This exhibition is part of a larger series highlighting collectors and promised gifts.Geographic Reference

“When you look at art, you stimulate the chemical dopamine and serotonin in the brain. It’s the same chemical that is secreted when you fall in love,” Manes said.

Visitor Information

Admission to the Boca Raton Museum of Art is free for members, $16 for adults, $12 for seniors 65+, $10 for groups, free for high school students under 18, and free for children under 15.Art Museums & Galleries
