Good News Florida

I suppose I relate most to Superman. His adopted “earthly” parents taught him good values to live by, as did my adoptive parents. He didn’t go seeking conflicts to resolve, but somehow they sought him. He preferred to be an unassuming media guy, but somehow he was often called to don a cape and rescue those in trouble or bring justice to a threatening situation. He loved his family and friends. Kryptonite paralyzed Superman. My kryptonite would be isolation from the Lord and from close family and friends. - Dolores King-St. George, Station Manager, WRMB Moody Radio I have always liked Batman personally. Of all the super heroes he’s the one most human that took it upon himself to avenge the death of his parents that he wit- nessed at a young age. He trained extensively to obtain mental and physical per- fection then used it to protect all humanity. -FredScarbrough, DVM,Founder,ScarbroughAnimalHospital andHopeSouthFlorida I would be Spiderman as he fights for good but hides his identity to avoid taking personal credit. - Representative George Moraitis, Florida House of Representatives, District 93 Black Panther would be a superhero I would like to embody. I am not a big su- perhero fan, but I was truly inspired by the excellence, intelligence, and fortitude demonstrated in the “Black Panther” movie and the fact that it was all wrapped in beautiful African scenery and garments made it all the better. I would love to have the Panther's agility, quickness and speed. - Germaine Smith-Baugh, Ed.D, President and CEO, Urban League of Broward County Superman! He spent his life doing good for others. - Gregg D. Sjoquist, President and CEO, WASI Foundation My favorite superhero was The Cape Crusader, Batman, because he lived a cool life and drove the amazing Batmobile, similar to my HellCat. Even though he did not possess any superpowers, his strength was fighting crime and villains to help his community, Gotham City. - Gregg Wallick, President/CEO Best Roofing My superhero that I would like to be is Mr. Incredible. He is a guy who wants to help others. He loves children, and he encourages them to excel at what they are good at. He loves his wife, requires his children to respect her and he is faithful to her, even through tough times. He has long-term friendships and likes to hang out with his family and friends. Even though he is very strong, he is tender-hearted and sad about his failures, which he works hard to overcome. That’s why I’d like to be like him. - H. Collins Forman, Jr, Esquire s We’d like you to get to know some of the community leaders who are impacting South Florida in profound ways. As a kind of icebreaker, Good NewsWants to Know asks questions that start the conversation and help you get acquainted. This month we’re looking ahead to the Holy days.At Easter, Jesus conquers sin and death in the resurrection. You could say he is the ultimate super- hero! If you could be a su- perhero (not Jesus), who would you be? As I consider the Comic Universe of D.C and Marvel, the super hero that suits me would be the one that stands for Truth, Justice and the American way. Superman parallels the character- istics of our Savior. His parents sent him from another place and he lived among the citizens of the earth. He was not limited by the laws of nature, and he always arrives on time to save. - Bernard King, Sr., Pastor Corner Stone Bible Fellowship Superhero?! I would like to be Chase in Paw Patrol. He’s a dog that conveys great values to young people today and mo- tivates them in a positive, healthy fashion. Like most dogs I’m sure that he wakes up every morning with his tail wagging, forgetting what’s behind and looking forward to what’s ahead — the ultimate witness to the Scripture that God’s mercies are new every morning. - William “Bill” Davell, Director, Tripp Scott Attorneys at Law The Hulk... pretty sure my 3-year old, Rivers, would be a lot more likely to listen when I ask him to go to bed. - Bob Denison, President, Denison Yacht Sales Mr. Incredible, because although he was primarily a hero to the world, he was also a superhero to his family. - Charles L. Bender, III, Founding CEO, Place of Hope If I could be a “superhero” I would instead like to be a deeply flawed human being… a man named Abraham Lincoln. I cannot imagine any man that had to face such adversity at a time when so many things in our world were on the edge of despair, yet he ended our greatest sin as a country. He freedAmericans that deserved to be free, all the while his own son was dying and his party was fighting him on his de- cisions. He is a true superhero. - Chip LaMarca, Broward County Commissioner, District 4 I want to be a superhero and I want my superpower to be the ability to empower people to understand and respond to the truth and the love of Christ. - Chip McCulloch, Co-owner and partner, Highland Wireless If I could be a superhero, I would like to beWonder Woman because she allows com- passion to influence her decisionsmore thanmost superheroes.Additionally, she sup- ports other superheroes to be successful. She doesn't have to get all the glory. - Deborah Cusick, Intervarsity Christian Fellowships FAU Campus Volunteer The superhero I would like to be is Captain America. The consistently pro-America theme, the good guy with “old fashion” values, being surprised by the new culture he is placed in, the team value oriented theme when he was asked always seemed intriguing. Why ... because I would hope that I too would be able to have similar principles... and I could be as physically fit too! LOL. - Dennis DeMarois, Director, The Gathering Palm Beach County s s s s s s s s s s s s William “Bill” Davell Bob Denison Charles Bender Chip LaMarca Chip McCulloch Debra Cusick Wants to Know… - Bernard King, Sr., Pastor Corner Stone Bible Fellowship
