COMMUNITY ALINA Boca Raton Phase Two Groundbreaking

On Tuesday, March 29, El-Ad National Properties, an Elad Group company, celebrated the phase two groundbreaking of ALINA Residences, a world-class residential destination in the heart of Boca Raton.

Phase two includes two nine-story residential buildings (ALINA 210 and ALINA 220) and will complete the entire project.

In attendance were El-Ad National CEO Noam Ziv, Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer, Boca Raton Deputy Mayor Andrea Levine O’Rourke, Boca Raton CRA Chair Monica Mayotte, Boca Raton Council Member Yvette Drucker, Boca Raton CRA Vice Chair Andy Thomson, Douglas Elliman Florida CEO Jay Phillip Parker, Moss Construction Chairman and Founder Bob Moss and other local dignitaries.

At the groundbreaking ceremony, Ziv announced that phase two of ALINA Residences is already 40% sold. Phase two construction is slated to be completed by Q3 2024. Phase one construction was completed in March 2021.

“Following the success of ALINA Residences’ phase one, it is extremely exciting to break ground on phase two with it already being 40% sold.” said Ziv. “We believe this early sales activity is a reflection of the marketplace recognizing ALINA as a truly unique residential destination. We continue to be proud to be a part of Boca Raton’s emerging downtown scene.”

The centerpiece of ALINA Residences, ALINA 210 will stand nine stories tall and feature 30 exquisite corner residences. With a maximum of four residences per floor, ALINA 210 will offer residences with three to four bedrooms with den floor plans. Ranging in size from approximately 3,300 to 5,400 square feet, the ALINA 210 residences’ pricing starts at $3.5 million. ALINA 210’s suite of thoughtfully curated amenities will be exclusive to the 30 residences.

With 152 residences, ALINA 220

will be the most similar building to phase one (ALINA 200) with a great emphasis on European-designed kitchens, rain showered bathrooms, and elegant organic craftsmanship throughout. The residential building will include a wide array of one- to four-bedroom with den floor plans, ranging in sizes from 1,400–5,400 square feet and pricing from $1.7 million to over $8 million.

Phase two will add an extra two acres of private outdoor amenity space to ALINA. All ALINA residents enjoy spectacular amenities such as his and hers spa facilities with dry saunas, steam rooms, treatment rooms and relaxation rooms; state-of-theart fitness centers, multiple rooftop swimming pools with private cabanas, fire pits, dedicated yoga areas, highly appointed club rooms, two dog parks and more.

It Only Takes One Dedicated Mentor to Shape a Child’s Future ‘The children are our future.’ We often say those words, but what if a child takes a wrong turn in life, becomes ensnared in crime, drug-addiction or suicide and self-destruction?

If children are truly our future, then we adults owe them a helping hand in shaping it. We can do so through mentoring.

As a children’s advocate and founder of the KOP Mentoring Network here in Palm Beach County, I believe every young person needs a caring adult mentor to provide encouragement and support to succeed in school and in life. Many of us have the power to truly impact their future by simply showing up as a caring friend and mentor.

We have seen the benefits of mentoring in addressing our schools’ graduation rates, which, have been increasing in recent years here in South

Florida and across the nation. In what can only be described as good news, the Palm Beach County School District again has a graduation rate that has outperformed other large school districts in Florida. More publicschool students are graduating than ever as the district’s graduation rate rose from 90 percent in 2017 to 91.7 percent in 2018.

The improvement is due in part to adult volunteers who have come forward to help poorly performing students stay on track academically. Nationally, one-third of all high schools provide mentors to their students, which amounts to one in 10 high school students, according to an U.S. Department of Education analysis.

The study showed “some significant evidence” that suggests programs that provide high school students adult volunteers may help students stay in

school.

At KOP Mentoring Network, we see the fruits of mentoring in our Oratorical, STRE2AM2, and Wealth Building and Entrepreneurship programs. Some of our students come from homes that have incarcerated parents or guardians. Without intervention these children are more likely to follow that same path. While our mentors help build student academic skills, the underlying theme for us is making our students see that someone cares enough to be there and expects the best from them.

Our mentors are ordinary people who serve as advisers and teachers.

They are motivators and role models, who believe in the students we work with. We see the potential and work hard in helping students get to where they want to go. The youngsters participating in the KOP Moni-

toring Network are less likely to use drugs and alcohol and less likely to skip school. They are more confident in their academic performance, and they are better able to get along with their families. In short, our mentors are making a difference, a real impact in the lives of the youngsters they serve.

The children are our future, but to quote another well-known adage about the harvest being plentiful but the laborers are few. There are still far too many of our young people who lack the support and the tools to succeed in school and in life. Despite the best efforts of the many men and women who serve as mentors and the agencies that support them, much more can be accomplished with the help of more dedicated volunteers. It only takes one caring mentor to shape a child’s future.

POSITIVE LIVING By: Dr. Synesio Lyra

Always Be On The Lookout!

If you attempt to go anywhere with your eyes closed, you’ll most certainly stumble somewhere and fall, besides other possible disasters your lack of caution can cause. The same is equally true in our daily living in the world. It’s important that we always be on the lookout!

Live all your days with awareness of what is in front of you, what you’ve left behind, whatever surrounds you, and carve a safe path to lead you to where you need to be, so as to get there efficiently, doing much good while you’re en route as well as at your place of arrival.

The idea of always being on the lookout does not denote spy tactics.

April 8 - April 14, 2022

It’s also not to intrude or meddle into somebody else’s territory. The purpose should never be to force your way into somebody or something where you might not belong, or even be welcome!

I once read a significant challenge about two houses. One was filled with mirrors around all its walls; the other contained a great number of windows all over. The question was: What kind of house would you prefer to inhabit – the one filled with mirrors, where you would only look at yourself all the time, or a house with many windows, out of which you could contemplate the world, your surroundings, and the needs you could detect from that van-

tage point of viewing?

When I recommend to myself and my readers always to be on the lookout, my intent is precisely to urge us all to be sensitive to much that surrounds us, particularly the needs that expect from us possible solutions we may be able to provide.

The world requires more concerned people, more observant individuals, more persons in search of fresh opportunities to do good for the benefit of others. Everywhere countless fellow humans lack encouragement, both to proceed in the route where they find themselves, as well as to find new trajectories in life wherein challenges will be found through

www.bocaratontribune.com

which needs may be met, seeds may be sown, and rich harvests may also be gathered.

Everybody is uniquely equipped with ideas and skills which, if transformed into positive action, can contribute significantly to improve other lives and, in the process, make this world a better place. Let us never minimize what we already have; let us simply find concrete ways of doing what we can, with what we already possess, for the benefit of others who need our personal deeds and contributions!

Persons prepared to keep their eyes widely open, shall never miss new opportunities anywhere, to bless other lives in significant ways!

ROBERT’S COMMUNITY REPORT

By Rick Boxx

By Robert Weinroth

License Suspended? Palm Beach County Clerk’s Office Will Help You Get Back on the Road County Mayor Robert S Weinroth announced the Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller, Palm Beach County, will hold its annual Operation Green Light event Monday March 28th through Friday April 1st.

Operation Green Light puts the brakes on collection agency fees to help drivers with unpaid traffic tickets and overdue court fines get back on the road. The office will waive collection agency fees for anyone who pays their overdue fines in full, giving people whose driver licenses have been suspended because of unpaid fines the opportunity to save money and restore their driving privileges.

To take advantage of the savings during this year’s virtual Operation Green Light, county residents can pay online or pay by phone.

Payment options are available at MyPalmBeachClerk.com/operationgreenlight “If you have a suspended license because of unpaid traffic tickets, collection agency fees are one more hurdle to return to driving legally,” said County Mayor Weinroth. “Operation Green Light is an opportunity for drivers to save money and reinstate their driving privileges, allowing them to get back to normal,” noted Clerk of the Civil Court & Comptroller, Joseph Abruzzo.

Payments can be made online 24 hours a day at MyPalmBeachClerk.com/opera-

tiongreenlight To pay by phone, residents should call the Clerk’s office Operation Green Light number at 561.274.1530 between 8AM and 5PM, Monday through Friday, or call the Court payment center at 561.207.7189 between 8AM and 8PM, Monday through Friday.

Customers can find out how much they owe, or get answers to other frequently asked questions, at MyPalmBeachClerk. com/operationgreenlight Florida law requires the Clerk’s office to turn over unpaid tickets and other outstanding court fines and fees to an outside collection agency if the debt is not paid within 90 days of the due date. Collection agency fees can be as much as 40 percent.

Those who don’t pay cam also have their driver license suspended.

Operation Green Light is part of an annual savings initiative held by Clerks’ offices across Florida.

For information on paying court obligations and traffic tickets issued outside of Palm Beach County, please visit www.FLClerks.com/greenlight.

About the Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller, Palm Beach County The Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller is Palm Beach County’s protector of public money and records including marriage licenses, court documents, financial reports and real estate records.

Starting a Business God’s Way (pt.1) If you don’t count the greeting cards, ice scrapers or newspapers I sold as a child, my first business startup was a car rental agency. After I liquidated that business, I made a commitment to myself never to launch another startup. This was when I began to learn that if you want to give God a good laugh, tell Him your plans – His plans are very different from yours. Because from that time, I have been part of at least seven startups!

Since those who track marketplace trends report well over one million businesses have been started since the COVID pandemic started, a “Monday Manna” looking at what the Bible teaches about “Starting a Business God’s Way” seems appropriate.

The first principle to remember in starting a new business is: follow God’s call and leading rather than your own plan. Then proceed accordingly. As Proverbs 19:21 teaches, “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”

When I was 25 years old, I left the public accounting world and struggled to determine what I wanted to do next.

I read about a new concept called Renta-Wreck. It sounded like a groundbreaking idea, so I started my own used car rental agency. It never occurred to me to seek God’s leading, asking if He thought this was a good idea.

Looking back, my only real objective was to make lots of money. I had no knowledge or passion for renting cars, and no legitimate answer for the question – the second principle – “Why

www.bocaratontribune.com

should this business exist?” Proverbs 20:5 teaches, “The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out.” If you’re considering launching a business, consider, “Why should this business exist?”

If your only answer is to make money, seek to find a better purpose for your career.

After my son was diagnosed with autism, a group of parents and I decided to start a school for children with special needs. Some professionals advised that we could establish a school for children with learning disabilities or autism, but could not serve both.

As parents, we balked at accepting that conclusion. It took several months, but eventually we concluded the professionals were right, that we could not effectively do both. We discovered the third principle, when starting a business, determine who you will serve. So, we developed a school for learning disabilities, even though several of our children would never be able to attend. That school has since helped over 1,000 children.

Matthew 6:24 teaches, “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other.” Your business needs to have a focused audience. Lack of a clearly considered business focus can result in going in too many different directions, failing to properly serve any of your intended customers.

We will cover three additional biblically based principles for starting a business next week.

worldwide participated in the competition.

For four months, children studied the topics of Jewish prayer, holidays, heroes, and traditions. There were three tests administered locally at Chabad of Boca Raton in Florida. Contestants who won local competitions competed in the international competition, which took place at the grand JewQ Championship in Princeton, NJ and was watched by thousands worldwide.

CKids’ JewQ program, launched in 2018, encourages children of all ages and backgrounds to explore more about Jewish history and culture.

Members of the Junior League of Boca Raton made an extra difference in the community during the organization’s 8th annual Week of Impact which took place in March.

Week of Impact projects included participating in a Boca Raton Community Garden cleanup. In addition, 431 boxes of cereal were given to the Farmworker Coordinating Council. Members also wrote 766 letters of encouragement to children at Joe DiMaggio’s Children’s Hospital. In con-

Graduating This Spring? Reasons to Consider a Home Healthcare Career (StatePoint) Those graduating in the spring of 2022 and other job seekers should take note -- industry experts say that not only are home healthcare caregivers needed more now than ever before, but this industry offers many rewarding career paths.

“A growing number of families and medical professionals are discovering that home healthcare is a great option -- and not just for seniors. Home healthcare can be used to treat medical needs across a full continuum of care,” says Jennifer Sheets, president and chief executive officer of Interim Healthcare Inc., which is actively recruiting caregivers nationwide.

According to Sheets, here are three of the top reasons home healthcare caregivers are in such high demand today: 1. It’s a safe alternative: The pandemic shifted the spotlight to home healthcare as a means to keep loved ones safe. What’s more, at-home caregivers are supporting hospital burnout by keeping acute care patients at home, allowing hospital staff to focus on the most critical patients.

2. The role of home caregivers has expanded: The scope of care and services that can be delivered at home has greatly expanded. There are more diverse care needs today, requiring a diverse set of caregivers to fill those needs, including ventilator care,

speech therapy, palliative care and more.

3. It can fill a necessary gap: The physical, mental and emotional demands of caring for family members can be overwhelming, and with the healthcare worker shortage, family caregivers need additional help at home.

Why Home Healthcare?

It is an employees’ market when it comes to working in the home healthcare industry and these positions are very desirable for a number of other reasons, especially for new graduates. Here are just a few:

• With on-the-job training available, a helping career such as a home care aide is emotionally rewarding, and home healthcare provides that same opportunity to make a difference in other people’s lives, albeit in a less hectic, more personal environment. Even for current licensed medical professionals, 74% say they have considered a career shift to home healthcare at one point in their medical career, according to an Interim Healthcare study. The COVID-19 pandemic only intensified these considerations for professionals, many of

whom in the same survey say home healthcare would be a way to reconnect with why they got into healthcare in the first place.

• Clients depend on caregivers to manage their health and achieve the best results.

They appreciate the help, support, care and connection that comes with home care.

Caregivers get one-on-one time with clients so they’re able to focus on the care of one individual at a time, and in many cases, they become part of the family.

• The healthcare industry is changing rapidly, which means that home caregivers have continual opportunities to learn new professional skills based on their interests that will help them meet the needs of the industry.

• Careers in home healthcare are dynamic, interesting and meaningful. They’re also flexible, giving those in the industry the choice of part-time or full-time work, as well as flexibility in location and availability.

Major providers of home healthcare are actively hiring for those with healthcare experience and those without, including Interim HealthCare which has locally owned and operated franchises nationwide.

“At a time when families are struggling to find at-home care, you can answer that call for help,” says Sheets.

Tips to Spring Clean Your Personal Finances (StatePoint) Tax season is in full swing, and the IRS has processed and delivered more than $1 billion in refunds so far this year. Whether you’re receiving a tax refund or not, now may be the perfect time to spring clean your personal finances. Here are a few ways to get started: • Save those extra funds: Studies show the latest tax refund trends are using the influx towards paying down debt and setting it aside to save up for large purchases like a car or home. To get in on the trend, start by tracking your monthly expenses and categorizing each expense as a want or a need.

Avoid using a credit card if you are unable to pay the balance each month to avoid interest charges, and make a plan to pay off any outstanding debt. Financial experts recommend having an emergency fund covering three to six months of living expenses if you can. If not, start with an emergency fund goal of $1,000.

• Get invested: Investing can be the best way to grow your financial portfolio.

According to a recent study from MagnifyMoney, more than three-quarters of millennials wish they would have started investing earlier. The main factors that respondents cited preventing them from investing are Plus

lack of knowledge, feeling intimidated and feeling overwhelmed about where to start.

There is hope and help – many financial institutions offer free online workshops and opportunities to work with an advisor to help guide you through your finan-

cial future.

• Reassess monthly bills and spending habits: Now is a great time to review your monthly expenses and see what you can adjust or live without. Simple changes like cutting down on eating out or cancel-

ing subscriptions you don’t use can have a large impact. Shopping around for homeowner’s or car insurance is also a great way to secure some extra savings. Phone plans and home internet bills are other must-have services to shop for price comparisons and savings. T-Mobile offers rate plan discounts for first responders, active-duty military and military veterans, and those ages 55 and up. T-Mobile also offers 5G Home Internet – available to more than 30 million households nationwide – for just $50 per month with Auto Pay. And, you don’t have to be a T-Mobile wireless customer to take advantage of the service.

• Treat yourself: Spoiling yourself from time to time is not a bad thing, in fact, studies from the American Psychological Association have shown it to be a good boost to your overall mental health. Consider using a portion of your refund to upgrade your smartphone, take a trip to a new destination, treat someone special in your life or donate to one of your favorite organizations, because you only live once.

However you plan to use your tax refund or set finance goals this year, make a plan and stay consistent.

The Road to Popularity can be paved with Unpleasantness Popularity is important to children and adolescents. Some think it is more important to be popular than to have friends, because popularity is a marker of prestige, dominance and social status. Some children become popular through prosocial means.

Other popular children, paradoxically, are disruptive and aggressive.

A longitudinal study by researchers at Florida Atlantic University tested the novel hypothesis that aggressive and disruptive children engage in frequent conflicts with classmates to strengthen their position in the group and enhance their popularity.

Results of the study, published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences , revealed that higher initial levels of peer-reported aggression and disruptiveness were associated with increases in peerreported popularity over the course of a semester, particularly for children who reported frequent disagreements with peers.

Because aggression usually arises within the context of a conflict, it follows that conflicts with aggressive children carry an implicit threat of harm. To avert aggression, classmates are apt to submit, which provides visible evidence of dominance and promotes short-term gains in popularity.

“Although we think it unlikely that contentiousness alone is a foundation for popularity, it may signal to peers a willingness to deploy discord to achieve ends,” said Brett Laursen, Ph.D., senior author and a pro-

Yoho, graduate student; and Sharon Faur, doctoral student, FAU Department of Psychology.

fessor of psychology in FAU’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Science.”Because conflict contains the potential for escalation, it amplifies dangers that can arise when aggressive and disruptive children are crossed.

Aggressive children who are frequently in conflict need not always resort to coercion; the mere prospect of unpleasant behavior may persuade others to submit.”

Study participants included a diverse sample of Florida children ages 8 to 12, attending a primary school whose population mirrored that of public school students in the state in terms of ethnicity and socioeconomic status.

“A similar process appears to work for disruptive children, although less pronounced. Submission in response to a disagreement with a disruptive child avoids irritating classmates who are aware of the

risks of antagonizing someone who is willing to unsettle the group to get their way,” said Laursen.

The researchers emphasize that by itself, conflict is not a means to peer status.

However, they say that it can be an effective tool that amplifies conspicuous attributes that undergird some forms of popularity.

“We do not claim that conflicts used in this manner are a healthy avenue to well-being. The consequences of conflict depend on the context, the aims and the ways in which it is managed,” said Laursen. “We do claim, however, that disagreement can be an efficient social strategy that leverages the implicit threat of coercion into dominance, bolstering popularity through reminders rather than actual displays of aggression and disruption.”

We are so grateful to be able to come together to support our kids’ vision, share music with our community, and contribute to such an important cause.”

Christine Barclay, Owner of BARCLAY Performing Arts adds, “It’s been an incredible opportunity to provide our students with the platform to produce their own event. I am so proud of their leadership and initiative so that their voices can be heard.”

Homesafe Closes the Curtains for Boca Cardiologist Earns ‘Doctor of its 19th Annual Classic Rock & Roll Distinction’ in ‘Honor your Doctor’ Party Event By: Dale King

Guests are calling for an encore after HomeSafe’s 19th Annual Classic Rock & Roll Party on Saturday, March 26. The party gathered more than 300 of HomeSafe’s supporters at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino with celebrity host Nicko McBrain, Iron Maiden drummer. It was a night of reminiscent rock performed by McBrain’s Bad Company cover band Dodgy Enterprise, as well as ABBA and Bee Gees tribute bands. Proceeds from the event will go towards the organization’s mission of creating safer, more productive lives for infants, children, young adults and families.

Guests were welcomed with cocktails, dinner and an exciting program recognizing the organization’s most generous contributors. The evening also included an incredible silent auction with sought after items including guitar centerpieces signed by McBrain and cymbals that were signed by both Bad Company drummer, Simon Kirke, and McBrain.

Event chairs were Steve Bernstein and Abby Bernstein-Henderson. Before leading guests to the Call to the Heart, the father and daughter duo presented the HomeSafe Hero award to Jeff and Aggie Stoops whose $5 million gift in the fall launched the nonprofit to begin major renovations across its campuses.

“As parents and grandparents, Aggie and I think about our own children and grandchildren and how we want nothing but the best for them,” said Jeff Stoops.

“There are 19,000 children in the foster care system in Florida. Many of them have experienced unimaginable abuse and neglect and can’t function in a traditional foster care setting.”

Following the HomeSafe Hero award, Steve Bernstein announced another signifApril 8 - April 14, 2022

icant and life-changing $500,000 gift made

by Boca residents Ken and Maggie Rosenberg. The sizable donation will advance HomeSafe in its $15 million Healing the Hurt campaign, which will continue work on four new campuses from West Palm to Boca Raton.

“This moment in HomeSafe’s history is a huge undertaking, and we are so grateful that so many have supported our efforts during the initial fundraising phase of our Healing the Hurt campaign,” said Matt Ladika, CEO of HomeSafe. “We are twothirds of achieving our fundraising goal and we are confident that we will meet our objectives with your unwavering support.”

Diamond Presenting Sponsors included the Stoops Family Foundation, Steven E. Bernstein Family Foundation, Harcourt M. and Virginia W. Sylvester Foundation, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and Ken and Maggie Rosenberg. Platinum Sponsors included Bob Sheetz and Debbie Lindstrom and Rochelle LeCavalier at Douglas Elliman Real Estate. Gold Sponsors were Paradise Bank, Schmidt Family Foundation and Verdex Construction.

HomeSafe is a nationally accredited nonprofit protecting Palm Beach County’s and South Florida’s most vulnerable residents – victims of child abuse and domestic violence. Through its results-driven approach, the organization is the leading provider of prevention and intervention services, serving more than 14,000 infants, children, young adults and families each year. HomeSafe is one of just five specialized residential therapy homes in the state of Florida—the only one in Southeast Florida—and currently cares for 50 percent of all of the children these organizations serve.

The Boca Raton Rotary Club Downtown resumed its series of ‘Honor your doctor’ luncheons on Wednesday, March 30, after a hiatus created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Organizers noted that physicians nominated by the community during 2020 and 2021 were included in the group honored during festivities held this year at the Boca West Country Club.

The Rotary Club presented awards to dozens of medical personnel whose names were listed in a program book distributed to guests. Rotarians and folks in the crowd extended appreciation to them for their expertise, patient care and dedication to the Hippocratic Oath during the challenging pandemic years of 2020 and 2021.

Among patrons who helped sponsor by the event were Elaine J. Wold, Boca Raton Regional Hospital/Baptist Health, SKLAR Furnishings, E.M. Lynn Foundation, Eda and Cliff Viner Scholars Foundation, Wechsler Foundation/Gale Wechsler and Rocco A. and Mary Abessino Foundation.

Dr. Philip Oranberg, MD, who specializes in cardiovascular and internal medicine, received the most nominations from the crowd to earn the title of Doctor of Distinction for 2022. Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer presented Oranberg with the honor that included a proclamation from the City Council.

A 1976 graduate of the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, he served his residency at the University of Chicago Medical Center from 1976 to 1979. He studied at the University of Pennsylvania Health System from 1979 to 1981 on a fellowship in cardiovascular disease.

The physician, who has 41 years of experience, is associated with Boca Raton Regional Hospital and Delray Beach Medical Center.

According to co-chairs Janice Williams of Matrix Home Care, LLC, and Alan Kaye of Transworld Business Advisors, both founding members of the Rotary Club Downtown, the annual luncheon recognizes and honors doctors, nurses and other

www.bocaratontribune.com

medical professionals within Palm Beach and Broward counties while raising funds for four-year scholarships for deserving medical and nursing students.

COVID was not totally forgotten Wednesday. “To accommodate social distancing for luncheon attendees, our club reserved the entire grand ballroom so that we were able to space out the tables and table settings,” said Williams. “Masks were also provided if requested upon arrival.”

Commenting on the return of the “Honor your doctor” luncheon, Alan Kaye said: “It is wonderful to be back together to celebrate our physicians and healthcare professionals, after having to cancel last year’s event and rescheduling this year’s celebration due to the pandemic.”

“With so many virus ebbs and flows, it is our physicians and their teams who have saved so many lives,” he added. “Always with the most compassionate patient care, and often putting themselves in harm’s way.”

Scholarships are awarded to students enrolled in the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine at Florida Atlantic University, Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing at FAU, Lynn University and Palm Beach State College.

Annually, funds from the “Honor your doctor” luncheon, founded by Helen Babione 24 years ago, but now organized each year by the Rotary Club Downtown, are primarily raised in four ways: Corporate and philanthropist sponsorships, ticket sales, “Chance to Win” purchases at the event and nominations made by patients and staff of their favorite doctors, nurses, and medical professionals who attended the event as guests of the Rotary Club.

Because the 2020 event had to be canceled, the Rotary Club Downtown reported that 100 percent of funds raised that year underwrote healthcare student scholarships.

Founded in July 2012 to support the health and wellness needs of area residents, the Rotary Club Downtown Boca Raton is dedicated to impacting the community through Rotary International’s mission of “Service Above Self.”

FAU Researchers: Fed Taking No Action To Offset Inflation The real value of wages for workers across the nation is likely to fall even further as the Federal Reserve shows no signs of neutralizing worse-than-expected inflation, according to researchers at Florida Atlantic University.

In FAU’s Monthly Inflation Report, associate professor William Luther, Ph.D., and student Morgan Timmann forecast prices will be roughly 11.8 percent higher in January 2023 than they were in January 2020, just prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. That amounts to a continuously compounding annual inflation rate of 3.7 percent since January 2020. Their forecast is based on Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) member projections, which FOMC revised upward in March.

In December 2021, the FOMC projected prices would be just 9.4 percent higher in January 2023 for a continuously compounding annual inflation rate of 3 percent.

The Fed is tasked with maintaining price stability in the United States and aims for prices to grow at just 2 percent on average. Because inflation has exceeded 2 percent over the past year, the Fed would need to bring inflation down below 2 percent to hit its average inflation target. Luther says the Fed is unlikely to do so.

“FOMC members are very clearly projecting that they will take no action to offset the high inflation observed over the last year, that inflation will remain above the 2 percent target for the next three years, and

He said to consider a car that cost $50,000 in January 2020. If the Fed were to hit its 2 percent target, that car would cost $53,060 in January 2023. If inflation averaged 3 percent, as the Fed projected in De-

that prices will remain permanently elevated,” he said.

Inflation remained low and relatively stable over the past three decades, causing many Americans to grow accustomed to adjusting wages and prices at roughly the same rate each year. Now, inflation is much higher.

The Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index, which is the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation, grew 6.1 per-

Kelly Powell-Evans Promoted to Chief Operating Officer Community Partners of South Florida (CPSFL) has promoted Kelly Powell-Evans to chief operating officer. Powell-Evans, formerly the organization’s vice president of community services, has a strong history of leading community-based programs and serving as an advocate for children. She will work in close partnership with fellow C-suite executives and oversee vice presidents leading the organization’s strategic priority areas, including housing, mental health, and community services, encouraging a culture of collaboration, continuous improvement, and excellence.

Powell’s experience as vice president community services during the pandemic offered her the opportunity to work closely with leadership, helping CPSFL to pivot and increase services as needs grew. “I realized I had a passion for operations during the pandemic, ensuring everyone in our organization had what they needed to succeed and continue serving our community.” She is proud to join the senior leadership team, recognizing the diverse views they bring to achieve their mission to partner with communities to change the odds for children and families facing social, emotional, and financial adversity. “Our team members are from different backgrounds, bringing a variety of perspectives and innovative ideas to take CPSFL to the next level.”

Powell developed her leadership skills as an entrepreneur, creating the Safe Kids program Community

that works to keep children safe from injury, a commitment she made to children locally and around the world. Internationally, she was part of the team that created the first-ever child passenger safety program in Qatar and served as a member of the Safe Kids Worldwide Advisory Board and as a coordinator of the International Autonomous Vehicles for Children Consortium. In the U.S., Powell-Evans worked on a University of Virginia team to provide training and technical assistance for motor vehicle injury prevention to the country’s 573 federally recognized Native American tribes.

“Kelly has quickly risen through the ranks at Community Partners of South Florida because of her comprehensive management skills, talent for employee development, and dedication to our mission,” said Scott Hansel, CPSFL CEO. “She deeply understands the needs of both residents and employees and how to open up opportunities where families can build great futures.”

Strengthening her bond with employees and overcoming barriers is Powell-Evans’ goal.

“The voices of employees and families are most important to me as we walk together side by side to see what we can accomplish together.”

Powell-Evans is a resident of unincorporated central Palm Beach County, FL, and a graduate of Virginia Tech University and Leadership Palm Beach County.

cent from February 2021 to February 2022.

It has averaged 3.7 percent since January 2020. Workers must now renegotiate their wages if they are to keep from falling further behind, Luther said.

Next month’s price level likely will be even higher, Luther said. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which started at the end of February, has further constrained supplies.

Higher inflation means a worker’s wages will not go as far, Luther explained.

In FAU’s Monthly Inflation Report, associate professor William Luther, Ph.D., and student Morgan Timmann forecast prices will be roughly 11.8 percent higher in January 2023 than they were in January 2020 cember 2021, that car would cost $54,700 in January 2023. At 3.7 percent, as the Fed is now projecting, it would cost $55,900.

“We’re not paying more because the car is any better,” Luther said. “It’s the same car. Rather, we’re paying more because the dollars we’re spending are worth so much less.”

Junior League of Boca Raton Asks Community to Nominate A Teacher to Receive a Refreshed Library The Junior League of Boca Raton is asking the community to nominate their favorite teacher to receive a new or updated classroom library.

Late Inning Heroics Lead Owls Over UCF

Nolan Schanuel hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth inning and Robert Wegielnik struck out the side in the ninth to lead the Florida Atlantic University baseball team (20-10) to a 5-3 win over UCF (18-11) on Tuesday night.

UCF opened the scoring in top of the first but Gabriel Rincones, Jr. responded with a solo home run to tie it in the bottom of the frame. The Knights retook the lead in the second and held a 3-1 advantage entering the bottom of the fifth. With one out, Armando Albert lined a 2-1 pitch over the right field fence to cut the deficit back to one.

FAU trailed 3-2 in bottom of the eighth when Rincones, Jr. drew a four-pitch leadoff walk. Schanuel stepped in next and launched a deep drive into the trees in right center field. The sophomore’s ninth home

www.bocaratontribune.com

run of the season gave the Owls their first lead of the night.

After Steven Loden singled and Shane Magrann was hit by a pitch, Caleb Pendleton roped a base hit past the third baseman to add an insurance run. The home side held a 5-3 advantage with just three outs to go.

Wegielnik allowed one baserunner before striking out the side in the ninth inning to preserve the victory.

“The thing that goes unnoticed is that walk by Gabe to get Nolan up. If he makes an out there, they probably intentionally walk Nolan just like they did the inning before. That was huge for Gabe to lay off those pitches and recognize the moment.”

The Owls will welcome UAB to town on Friday for the start of a threegame C-USA series. First pitch is scheduled for 6:30 pm.

Edition 558 - 19

PBA Softball Clinches Series vs Barry The Palm Beach Atlantic softball team played its final home game of the 2022 season on Monday night.

The Sailfish needed a win tonight to clinch the series against the Bucs. Karen Vasquez stepped up for PBA. The freshman got the start in the circle and tossed the first complete-game shutout of her collegiate career.

Today’s outing was the best of her young career so far. Briana Rodriguez drove in two runs for the ‘Fish as a part of a 4-0 win.

Meredith Milam led PBA with two hits with one run scored. The Sailfish offense totaled seven hits in the game. Vasquez allowed just four hits with one walk and three strikeouts in the game.

The Sailfish got on the board early in the game. Milam led off the contest with a double to right-center. She advanced to third on a groundout and later scored on a wild pitch to make it 1-0. That was plenty of run support for Vasquez who did not surrender a base runner until the third in-

ning.

PBA manufactured a run in the second inning. Maura Glatczak led off with a single and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt

by Elisa Grande. After a flyout, Rodriguez came through in the clutch with an RBI single up the middle to make it 2-0.

Barry tried to answer in the third.

The Bucs loaded the bases after one hit, one error, and one walk, but Vasquez forced a groundout to get out of the inning.

The Sailfish added a pair of insurance runs in the sixth inning. A walk

by Janie McCloskey and a double by Grande put runners on second and third with one out. Daylin Hejtmanek drove in one run with an RBI single to left field. Rodriguez grounded out to score another run to make it a 4-0 lead for PBA. Vasquez set the Bucs down to close out the seventh.

PBA plays the rest of its games on the road in 2022. The Sailfish travel to Florida Southern this weekend. The first game of the series takes place on Friday at 7 p.m. in Lakeland, Fla.

Schanuel Named to Golden Spikes Award Watchlist Sophomore first baseman Nolan Schanuel has been named to the Golden Spikes Award Midseason Watch List, USA Baseball announced on Tuesday. The award honors the top amateur baseball player in the nation and is given each year to the player who best exhibits exceptional on-field ability and exemplary sportsmanship.

Schanuel has enjoyed a torrid first two months of the 2022 season. The Boynton Beach native leads Conference USA in hits (45), average (.413), and on base percentage (.529). Schanuel is among the top five in nearly every other offensive category including RBI (32), home runs (8), and doubles (10).

The Park Vista High School product is a career .366 hitter and is closing in on 100 career RBI. He was named as a Perfect Game/Rawlings Preseason All-American in January.

The Golden Spikes award is one of the most prestigious honors in amateur baseball. Previous winners include current major leaguers Stephen Strasburg (2009), Bryce Harper (2010), and Kris Bryant (2013).

The 45-player Midseason Watch List will be narrowed down to 25 on May 24 and finalists will then be announced on June 8. For more information about the award visit https://www.usabaseball.com/goldenspikes-award/about.
