Boca Helping Hands Struggling to Keep Up with Volunteer Support Boca Helping Hands is struggling to keep up with food demand as inflation squeezes budgets and their volunteer force dwindles. With gas prices continuing to rise, shortages at the grocery store, and the cost of commodity goods increasing, Boca Helping Hands has seen an uptick in demand for their hunger relief services. In addition, many of the organization’s regular volunteers are migrating back north, and college students are heading home for the summer, causing a volunteer shortage.

In April, Boca Helping Hands fed 10,365 individuals, distributed 7,162 pantry bags of groceries at five Palm Beach County locations, and provided 6,761 hot lunches.

Since December 2021, the organization has seen increases of 18% in demand for pantry bags and 10% for its to-go hot meals.

FAU Poll Shows Floridians Cutting Back in Reaction to Rising Inflation The economy, inflation and the high cost of housing are weighing on the minds of consumers as recent price hikes force Floridians to cut back on travel, entertainment and other discretionary items, according to the latest statewide survey from the Florida Atlantic University Business and Economics Polling Initiative (FAU BEPI).

Roughly 47 percent of respondents rate the national economy as poor or very poor, while 84 percent consider the cost of living and inflation a high priority that the country must address.

More than eight out of 10 respondents are concerned or very concerned about increasing costs for both housing and property insurance, while more than 53 percent said rising prices for food and goods and services have greatly affected their finances.

Of the 532 survey respondents, more than 70 percent said they are cutting back on travel and entertainment, while about 66 percent are buying less food. Nearly 60 percent said they are using savings to pay bills, and almost 4 in 10 said they are missing bill payments.

Summer travel likely will be impacted.

The latest Travel Price Index from the U.S. Travel Association noted that transportation costs are up 30 percent, lodging up 11.4 percent and food and beverage are up 14.2 percent, compared with pre-pandemic 2019.

May 27 - June 2, 2022

“This increase in prices in the travel industry will lead to adjustments in summer vacation plans,” said Monica Escaleras, Ph.D., director of FAU BEPI in the College of Business. “The hospitality industry most likely will see a decrease in demand.”

In other issues, nearly 67 percent of respondents, including more than half of the Republicans polled, said abortion should be legal in most or all cases.

“However, it is not clear this issue will drive voting as abortion was only ranked as a high priority issue by 39 percent of Floridians,” said Kevin Wagner, Ph.D., a professor of political science at FAU and a research fellow of BEPI. Meanwhile, 43 percent oppose the recent Florida legislation that banned lessons about sexual orientation or gender identity in elementary schools. The legislation was supported by more than 37 percent of respondents, while nearly 20 percent had no opinion.

As for the Russian invasion of Ukraine, 47 percent believe America is providing the right amount of support to the wartorn country. More than 20 percent believe America should give more support.

The online survey was conducted May 20-22 and has a margin of error of +/4.24 percentage points. The data, weighted by ethnicity, age, education and gender, was collected through Dynata.

WW 2 Veteran: “Oh, how much time has changed” When state transportation officials were building Interstate 95 through Boynton Beach in the 1970s, they bought property on top of a segregation-era burial ground.

William Barton, whose 6-year-old son, Alton, was buried there, was not about to let progress squeeze him out.

“We had to put our foot down,” William Barton, 99, a World War II veteran said at a luncheon honoring veterans recently. “A lot of people were buried there, and we were not going to let them disrespect those graves.”

State and city officials ironed out a plan that resulted in the interstate narrowly bypassing the graveyard. Shortly after, the city officially recognized the wooded area as Barton Cemetery, in honor of his wife, Mary Barton.

A driver in the U.S. Army, Barton shared vivid memories of fighting segregation and racism. He told how while returning home from recruit training at Camp Edwards in Massachusetts, he had to switch to the “colored coach” on the train at The Mason-Dixie line to comply with Maryland law. A similar episode occurred on the bus from West Palm Beach to Boynton Beach when the driver noticed a white service-

man sitting and chatting with Barton in the rear and demanded the white man move to the front.

The luncheon culminated a day of service where more than 100 volunteers braved the inclement weather to give a facelift to 10 homes in the Cherry Hill community, including some that were owned by veterans.

The Habitat for Humanity of South Palm Beach County Veterans Build service event brought smiles to the homeowners’ faces.

“My husband would be so happy, just seeing this now,” Eula Smith said as she opened her door and saw her completed lawn. “They did a beautiful job.”

Members of the local chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity and KOP Mentoring Network adopted the home in the 300 block of Northwest 12th Avenue. They laid mulch around trees and did some other cosmetic work. They will return in two weeks to finish the sprucing up.

“Alpha Phi Alpha is proud to join Habitat for Humanity in helping honor these veterans,” said Demetrius Thomas, of the organization’s Omicron Upsilon Lambda chapter. “We are excited to be here. We just wished we could have done some painting today but because of the

weather…. We will be back to finish it though.”

Much credit to Habitat for Humanity in believing that every veteran family deserves a decent place to call home. The Christian organization empowers veterans through home ownership opportunities, critical home repairs and camaraderie building events, such as Friday’s build.

Barton, who lives in the neighborhood and is a deacon in his church, told the audience how, as a young man, Boynton Beach police officers harassed him. On one occasion, he said, a patrolman ticketed him for speeding.

“He was drunk as a skunk, and he said I was speeding. I know darn well, I wasn’t speeding,” Barton told the audience. “I told him, ‘I’m getting tired of you bothering me. I wasn’t speeding.’”

The officer responded, “That’s what they all said,” Barton recalled.

Barton told his boss about the encounter.

His boss, who was white, called the police chief A. C. “Boots” Carver to complain.

He elicited much laughter when he compared “back in my days” to today. For example, he said when a white woman asked to take

a photo with him at the luncheon, he gladly agreed. Still, for a quick moment, he had flashback of the past.

“Times have surely changed,” he said, adding, “You better believe it.

“Back in my days, I could never be caught having dinner with a white woman. You remember Emmett Till? Can you imagine what would have happened to me then?”

The battered and bloated body of the 14-year-old Till was fished from the muddy waters of the Tallahatchie River in Mississippi. He was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered on August 28, 1955, for having whistled at a white woman.

What was most alarming and heartwarming to Barton was knowing that the officers from the Boynton Beach Police Department adopted one of the homes and spruced it up.

“It warms my heart to hear that,” he said.

“Back in my days when the police came up here, it was to take people away, not to help them.

“I saw where we have a black chief now,” he added. “I never thought I would have ever seen that in my lifetime. Oh, how much time has changed.”

POSITIVE LIVING By: Dr. Synesio Lyra

Little Things Count a Lot! Never minimize the importance of small gestures, the power of supposedly insignificant things; most often these are the words that either make or break an opportunity, a friendship, or other experiences of greater import!

Learn to use your mouth effectively, with uplifting messages to people who, more than likely, need your input at the moment you utter your message to them, whether they are previously known to you or not. Live daily with a sense of timing, with a desire to do some good for others, and with the ability to say or do something whose impact can be the greatest, and the most positive.

ognize that this individual is having a hard time, for reasons unknown, but very real to the one enduring it. Without meddling into anybody’s private concerns, you can measure your greeting, any further words you address, and even a conversation you may carry on with someone.

Not too long ago, I was at the lobby of a large hospital, waiting for the return of a relative who had gone to another floor for a medical consultation. Momentarily interrupting my reading, while I waited, I noticed a middle-aged woman shining the floors of that major lobby. She was going up and down, right and left, doing her job faithfully, while being noticed by no one.

But I was observing her and the good quality of her work. Thus, when she came

closer to where I was sitting, I smiled at her and simply said: “Because of your good work, this whole area is clean and shinny; many thanks for what you are doing for so many people!”

She smiled at me and whispered some thanks in her foreign accent, and proceeded on her work still carrying that smile. It was a very small, insignificant gesture on my part, but something I believe made a positive difference for her.

People like to be appreciated. Whatever the nature of their efforts, everyone should be thanked if and when such applause may be given another. This happens daily with restaurant servers, with supermarket cashiers, for store clerks who walk with us to an aisle or shelf helping us to find some

item, to people who provide us information when we seek it from them at a busy street anywhere. Multiple are the examples of how we can encourage others in gratitude for what they are doing for the public in general, or specifically for us!

Even when someone dealing with us in any context, who happens to appear not so friendly, or even manifests some irritation, we should still be courteous and kind, for we don’t know the anguish they may be facing, any pain they may be feeling, any bad news they may have received that very day.

Our kind words and gestures, our positive posture and disposition can make an indelible difference for good in a life. It costs us nothing, but its effect definitely adds great significance to another!

ROBERT’S COMMUNITY REPORT

By: Rick Boxx

By Robert Weinroth

Around Palm Beach County with Mayor Weinroth On May 20, 2022, Mayor Weinroth joined local Boca Raton officials and business leaders at this year’s Business Awards Luncheon hosted by the Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce at the Boca West Country Club. The annual event celebrates local entrepreneurs and professionals who generate economic prosperity and have a strong philanthropic involvement in our community. The winners of this year’s awards are: Boca Raton Innovation Campus (Business of the Year), Saint Andrews School Head Ethan Shariro (Business Leader) and Simplify President Erick Solms (Small Business).

O n May 18, 2022, Mayor Weinroth joined staff and volunteers of the Faulk Center for Counseling at Tamin Academy for a butterfly release symbolizing the dramatic transformations that clients experience. The center’s mission is to promote emotional well-being through various free and low-cost programs such as counseling, therapy and support. Since 1973, the center has provided a variety of counseling services to people of all ages at its facility on Boca Rio Road and at outreach locations throughout Palm Beach and Broward counties.

Mental health services are provided by graduate students pursuing master’s or doctoral degrees in psychology, social work or mental health counseling, and clinical volunteers who hold advanced degrees in mental health fields. All graduate students and volunteers are trained and supervised by the center’s staff of licensed psychologists.

On May 12, 2022, Mayor Weinroth presented a proclamation recognizing the 70th anniversary of The Pap Corps Champions for Cancer Research to CEO Sally Berenzweig and Chairwoman Susan Dinter dur-

ing the organization’s monthly meeting at Boca West Country Club.

The Pap Corps is one of the largest all-volunteer fundraising organizations in South Florida, with over 51 chapters and 20,000 members dedicated to supporting research for all types of cancer at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, the only academic hospital in our community.

We pay tribute to these men and women for their tireless efforts and dedication to funding cancer research for the past 70 years!

Mayo r We i n roth welcomed over 300 attendees at the 30th annual Governor’s Hurricane Conference hosted by Palm Beach County at the Convention Center in West Palm Beach on May 11, 2022.

The goal of the conference is to focus on hurricane planning, preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation. This year, our partners and sponsoring organizations mapped out over 300 hours of training sessions, workshops, various seminars and a dynamic general session to share lessons learned and ways to improve readiness.

Speakers included Florida Division of Emergency Management Director Kevin Guthrie, National Hurricane Center (NHC) Director Kenneth Graham, Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator (FEMA) Deanna Criswell and Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Preparedness Director Earl Eues.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the county’s Clarence E. Anthony Branch library in South Bay. At the Board of County Commissioners meeting on May 17, 2022, Clarence E. Anthony was presented with the key to the county as well as a resolution in recognition of his many years of service and advocacy.

Building A Values-Based Business One of the most underestimated tools for any successful business enterprise is the foundation of values upon which it has been built. If a company’s goal is simply to make high profi ts, to close a lot of sales, or even to deliver huge quantities of products or services, it can lead to problems with the end serving to justify the means.

For instance, if the objective is to fi nalize sales, one might be tempted to make whatever promises are needed to accomplish that – even if the promises cannot be met. Or if maximizing profits is the ultimate goal, it could become easy to justify cutting costs, even if that means compromising the quality of the product or services provided.

However, when a company starts with a clear, well-considered framework of values to guide and govern its operations, chances of both survival and success are increased dramatically. These values essentially define “what we do,” “why we do it,” and “how we do it.”

Many CEOs that are followers of Jesus Christ share a desire to influence their organization with principles from the Bible – which they understand to be the Word of God – while also being sensitive to those team members who may not embrace the same faith. One of the best ways to shape a company culture in an effective, non-offensive manner is to focus on values, principles of conduct and practice that everyone in the organization can be asked to embrace.

For instance, a value of placing high

www.bocaratontribune.com

priority on customer service is one that few can argue with; we don’t even have to explain this value is based on “doing to others as you would have them do to you” (Luke 6:31). We might embrace the value of doing the best we can at all times, without having to insist that our staff “work at it with al your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men” (Colossians 3:23).

Since many of the values we commonly endorse come right out of the Bible, formulating our core beliefs can serve as a non-threatening way for communicating God’s standards and values.

Developing these foundational values and holding your team accountable to them can give you the opportunity to lead the way to doing business God’s way.

As the psalmist expressed in Psalms 119:130, “The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.” To achieve success – and then to sustain it – it is important for every key member of the team to be able to understand and explain what the organization stands for. What are the basic values and principles that serve as guideposts for how it conducts business on a day to day basis?

If you desire to shape the culture of your organization in God’s way, try determining and articulating your core values.

Next, model them, and then communicate them consistently to your team. As the apostle Paul wrote, “Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me – put it into practice” (Philippians 4:9).

Alliance of Women Executives (AWE) Awards 24 Scholarships The non-profit Alliance of Women Executives (AWE) made the college dreams of 24 Palm Beach County young women come true. The organization awarded scholarships to deserving high school graduates at their 5 t h a n nu a l s ch o l a r s h i p awards ceremony held May10th at Abacoa Golf Club emceed

by WPTV news anchor Shannon Cake.

These young women come from all walks of life, and with unique stories; 5 of the recipients will be attending Palm Beach State College, 12 will become Florida Atlantic University students, 2 will attend Palm Beach Atlantic University and 5 will enter Lynn University – 11 are the first in their family to attend college, and all are accomplished both academically and in their service to the community. Their aspirations are equally ambitious, they plan to pursue a variety of degrees from nursing, law, and medicine to STEM, psychology and the arts. In

addition to receiving a scholarship, each student received a laptop courtesy of Florida Power & Light.

AWE is a member based nonprofit founded 6 years ago by Vicki Ta t e. W i t h the inclusion of the 2022 awards, a total of 79 scholars h i p s h a ve been g ranted to Palm Beach County young women.

“The passion of the women who’ve become AWE members along with the support of our donors has been fantastic. AWE’s mission is important to Palm Beach County, to these young women and to me. I am deeply grateful to our members and donors, without them none of this would be possible.” says AWE founder Vicki Tate.

Obtaining the extra funding alleviates some of the financial pressure the girls face as they seek their higher education.

JFS Committed to Ensuring Vulnerable Seniors are Looked After During Hurricane Season June 1st marks the start of Hurricane Season here in south Florida. Ruth and Norman Rales Jewish Family Services (JFS), as a leading provider of senior services in south Palm Beach County, is currently seeking older adults living alone with no family close by to register with the agency. You do not need to be an existing client of the agency to register. This annual registry opens at the start of each Hurricane season as part of the agency’s Hurricane response efforts.

We know from past storms there are hundreds of seniors living alone who could benefit from assistance after a storm.

Danielle Hartman, JFS President & CEO stated, “JFS takes our responsibility to help seniors, particularly those with no family nearby, very seriously. Although JFS is not a first responder agency, JFS coordinates with first responder agencies and volunteers to play a vital role before and after major weather events.”

JFS utilizes pre-screened volunteers, board members and staff to check in after a storm – first by phone, and then in person if needed.

There is no charge to register for this service and information used is only for Hurricane response purposes.

EMT spring grad featured in ABC News ‘The Orphans of COVID’ docuseries Tre Burrows, a spring graduate of Palm Beach State College’s Emergency Medical Technician program who lost his mom to COVID-19 last August, is featured with his three sisters in an ABC News docuseries highlighting the impact of the disease on America’s children.

Titled “The Orphans of COVID: America’s Hidden Toll,” the docuseries first aired on May 12, coincidently on the day Burrows received his EMT-B College Credit Certificate. It is the first step on his path to becoming a firefighter. ABC News followed five families for months to develop the docuseries, which was reported by David Muir, with producers Eric Noll and Esther Castillejo. It aired on World News Tonight with David Muir, Good Morning America and Nightline. It is also now available on Hulu.

Burrows enrolled in the EMT-B program, which is a prerequisite for PBSC’s Fire Academy, this past January to help secure a stable job in what he considers a “noble profession” but also one that will provide the flexibility he needs for his family and to help raise his younger sisters.

Burrows, who will turn 21 this month, and his sister, Jenny, 25, took on the parental role for their young siblings, ages 15 and 12, after their mom, Cindy Dawkins, died Aug. 7, 2021, just days after her 50th birthday.

A native of the Bahamas, she moved May 27 - June 2, 2022

back to her hometown after her children were born. However, she returned to the U.S. permanently around 2005-2006 after getting a transfer opportunity with her job.

Tre said it has been difficult navigating life without their mom, but he and Jenny also have been focused on their education and career plans to ensure they can care for their family and stay together. “We’re all do-

ing pretty good now. We’ve been able to get back into a routine.”

“Thankfully, we were raised Christian.

That’s helped us get through this,’’ he said.

A graduate of Somerset Academy, Tre was already planning to apply for the EMTB program before their mom passed, “not really knowing how I was going to make that happen financially,’’ he said.

“When everything happened, this is like another blessing that came out of a horrible situation,’’ he said. One of his neighbors learned about his mom’s death and paid for his educational expenses. “It definitely sealed it for me. If someone is going to pay for me, I’m going. It’s no excuse.”

A GoFundMe account also was established to help the family. Jenny attended a private career college to become a dental assistant with a longer-term goal of becoming a dental hygienist, while Tre enrolled at PBSC. With the GoFundMe, they were able to pay off her student loan, bills and have a down payment on a home they purchased this past February to keep the family together.

Tre plans to spend the next year preparing for and taking the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians certification exam and the Candidate Physical Abilities Test, both requirements for the Fire Academy. He hopes to apply and get into the academy next January.

He said he’s happy to have completed this phase of his educational journey and to walk across the stage to accept his certificate. “I took the opportunity that came to me and I succeeded,’’ he said.

“The school experience has been great.

The instructors are great. I’ve enjoyed learning everything and connecting with the firefighters that they’ve introduced us to.”

Helping Schools and Students Recover From Pandemic Challenges (StatePoint) Over the past two years, public schools have faced continual disruptions brought about by COVID-19. Experts say that federal relief funds have given the nation a one-time opportunity to learn from the experience and to focus recovery efforts and resources on delivering highquality instruction and support for students in ways that will accelerate their learning and meet their social and emotional needs.

“The federal government has provided $189 billion in resources for states and localities targeted at education recovery.

If unchecked and unsupported, states risk bending to the pressure of forces more concerned with political expediency and ideology than sound policy that helps students,” says Jim Cowen, executive director of the Collaborative for Student Success. “Parents, educators, administrators and policymakers deserve credible information about effective policies and practices that are using these funds to accelerate student learning.”

According to Cowen, this is why the Collaborative for Student Success, in partnership with The Center on Reinventing Public Education (CRPE) and the Edunomics Lab at Georgetown University,

launched EduRecoveryHub.org, a one-stop resource that showcases emerging practices in schools supported with Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief funding (ESSER) and other federal recovery funds that can be replicated nationwide.

From improving school facilities to easing teacher shortages, the site provides insights into the smart investments that best ensure schools recover stronger and every student benefits. Parents and families can use this site to advo-

cate for their students and point to good ideas that meet specific needs as they talk to teachers, principals, and school board members. Educators and district staff can learn from their colleagues about ways in which they are overcoming the lingering challenges of the pandemic. The site also allows policymakers to reference and compare state-by-state recovery information and access expert analysis from diverse viewpoints. A panel of national and state-based organizations and experts serving or representing parents, school and district leaders, classroom educators, and the civil rights community review and comment on specific practices they support.

“As difficult as pandemic learning has been, our research has shown many bright spots: schools and educators who have gone above and beyond by making powerful connections with students, finding creative ways to deliver personalized learning, and working with community partners to ensure students are healthy and ready to learn,” says Robin Lake, director of CRPE. “But many of these efforts are ad hoc. The unprecedented federal investment will al-

low school systems to implement effective approaches -- if they pay attention to what we know has worked.”

“The federal investment represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity for school districts to help students re-engage in school, get back on track in reading and math, and earn sufficient credits to graduate ready for college or a career,” says Chad Aldeman, policy director of Edunomics Lab. “In the wake of the pandemic, we are seeing districts use funds in new ways to address challenges and improve student outcomes. These savvy, nimble investments may catch on in other communities and help propel students forward.”

I n t e r a c t i ve a n d e a s y - t o - u s e , the?EduRecoveryHub?is updated frequently. Individuals or organizations can reference these evolving resources or share their own examples of innovative programs in education by visiting edurecoveryhub.org.

From innovative ways to address student mental health needs to work being done to accelerate academic learning, spotlighting education recovery efforts across America can spark progress and improvements in other communities.

Are There Really Enough Electric Vehicle Chargers?

(StatePoint) Electric vehicles (EV) are becoming commonplace. By now, you’ve probably seen a Tesla, the Ford Mustang Mach E, Chevy Bolt or Nissan Leaf on the road at least once. Maybe you’ve even heard about newer models like the Rivian R1T pickup and the Toyota bZ4X crossover. And chargers? Yeah, you’ve probably seen them at highway rest stops or store parking lots. Now, you may be wondering if it’s time to go electric.

One big question you may have before trading in your gasoline-powered car is: how easy will it be to find a charger? The answer will be based on your individual circumstances, needs and driving habits. But here are three things to keep in mind.

No. 1: Most Charging is Done at Home. This may be the biggest change new EV owners experience. Few, if any, have had a gasoline pump in their garage. But the vast majority of EV owners will install an electric charger for convenience and economy. It’s one of the great opportunities of EV ownership, as well as a stumbling block.

Installation is a major up-front expense, averaging around $1,200, according to some national surveys. But your true cost could be between $500 and $2,000, depending on hardware, permits, electrician fees and needed electrical upgrades. However, you’ll be saving on energy costs. A good Plus

rule of thumb is you’ll be spending about half as much on electricity versus what you spend on gas now. A typical driver would save enough to cover the installation in two to three years.

More carmakers are working homecharging solutions into EV purchases. For example, Toyota recently announced it’s partnered with ChargePoint to allow purchase of its home charger at the dealership, and line-up of a qualified electrician through Qmerit.

No. 2: Charging Stations Are Not Gas

Stations. Often consumers think commercial charging stations will eventually be as widespread as today’s gas stations. But this assumes charging stations will be used the same way. The reality is that we may not need as many chargers as most charging will be done at home.

Charging time is also important to consider. Today’s public chargers might take 30 minutes or more to charge enough electricity for you to resume your trip, compared to the five minutes or less at the gas station.

While charging, vehicle owners will want

www.bocaratontribune.com

something to do. That’s why charging stations built around shopping or dining destinations, like malls and town centers, may become more common. You’ll be able to take a break, eat or shop while your EV charges.

No. 3: There’s a National Network of Chargers, and More Are on the Way. According to the Department of Energy, there are currently more than 45,000 fastcharging stations nationwide, with multiple overlapping national networks under development, mostly funded by private companies. Tesla has by far the largest network with more than 1,200 U.S. charging stations (up from about 100 in 2014). Electrify America, a subsidiary of Volkswagen, is aggressively building out its network, with 673 stations operating now and 136 in the planning stage. The best way to find a nearby charger or plan a long-distance road trip is with an app like PlugShare, which calculates distance to stations and tells you if individual chargers are currently in use.

To help bolster EV owner confidence, the $1.2 trillion infrastructure package passed by Congress in November includes $7.5 billion to accelerate building the charging network. It focuses on building along highway corridors to ease long-distance travel. President Joe Biden has announced a goal of building 500,000 chargers to accelerate the transition.

FAU Contributes to Nation’s First Quantum Drone Hacked bank and Twitter accounts, malicious power outages and attempts to tamper with medical records threaten the security of the nation’s health, money, energy, society and infrastructure.

Harnessing the laws of nature – namely quantum physics – a cutting-edge teleportation technology is taking cybersecurity to new, “unhackable” heights using miniscule particles of light or “beams.”

Florida Atlantic University’s Warner A. Miller, Ph.D., in concert with Qubitekk and L3Harris , is leading the United States’ efforts to deliver the first dronebased, mobile quantum network to seamlessly maneuver around buildings, inclement weather and terrain and quickly adapt to changing environments such as warfare.

Together with Qubitekk, an awardwinning leader in manufacturing entangled photon sources and other hardware for networking quantum processors and sensors, FAU has been entrusted by the U.S. Office of the Secretary of Defense to develop the project.

The network includes a ground station, drones, lasers and fiber optics to share quantum-secured information. Today’s telecommunication networks use fiber optics, connected by laser beams from the ground and between planes and satellites — called fiber and free space optical networks. Drones are used to save lives, secure infrastructure, help the en-

vironment and thwart hostile military advances such as the war between Russia and Ukraine.

“The combination of quantum communication and unmanned aerial systems or UAS in this project represents an important advance in the Air Force’s efforts to create fieldable quantum systems for the warfighter,” said A. Matthew Smith, Ph.D., a senior research physicist at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Information Directorate. “Additionally, the potential of secure communication from a portable quantum communication UAS in contested environments represents important future capabilities for the Air Force.”

Miller is a professor of physics in FAU’s Charles E. Schmidt College of

Science and a retired lieutenant colonel, U.S. Air Force, who served honorably for 28 years and received a Meritorious Service Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster. He played a critical role in recently obtaining a $1.5 million Phase II Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) federal grant awarded to Qubitekk. Miller also is collaborating with L3Harris, an agile global aerospace and defense technology innovator that has been involved in the project since 2019.

The team is collaborating with the U.S. Air Force to combine expertise from academia, including the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, government and industry with the future potential to scale up the project for larger applications with larger aerial platforms, as well as other ground and maritime platforms.

“The contract award represents a new stage in the development of two technologies. For quantum, it’s a major step toward creating hack-proof quantum communication networks that will eventually span the globe, including in space. For drones and UAVs, it’s another milestone in their evolution as the workhorses of the Air Force for a wide range of missions and capabilities,” said Arthur Herman, Ph.D., senior fellow and director of the Quantum Alliance Initiative at Hudson Institute and one of the nation’s foremost quantum experts in defense, energy and technology issues.

Quantum distribution provides a secure communication method for exchanging information between shared parties in a way that guarantees security. This phenomenon involves a pair of particles of light or photons that are generated in such a way that the individual quantum states of each are indefinite but correlated such that the act of measuring one instantaneously determines the result of measuring the other, even when they are at a great distance from one another. This phenomenon was referred to by Albert Einstein as “Spooky Action at a Distance.” Einstein noted that quantum mechanics should allow two objects to affect each other’s behavior instantly across vast distances as if the two are connected by a mysterious communication channel.

FAU’s contribution to the project and its student involvement in the technology is analogous to threading the eye of a fine needle using fiberoptics and copropagating wavelengths that includes a near-infrared or invisible beam at the single-photon level. The entangled singlephoton sources are produced by focusing a laser on special non-linear crystals and then processing the resulting “downconversion” beam of photons. The optical alignment system uses mirrors that tilt to steer the photons directly where they need to go. The single photons travel one-by-one from the source drone to another to communicate securely.

It was the first time since December 2019 that PBSC held commencement ceremonies with keynote speakers and traditional fanfare, including a performance by the PBSC drumline and singing of the College’s alma mater.

“For man y o f yo u it has taken two years to reach this milestone. In those two years, we have weathered some storms as an institution and nation, but we came through with resilience and vigor that as panthers we are all known to do,’’ said PBSC President Ava L. Parker, J.D., while looking into the sea of caps and gowns at the South Florida Fairgrounds Expo Center.

The spring class represents students,

ranging from ages 16 to 17, completing associate and bachelor’s degrees and certificate programs. Thirty-five graduates are dual enrollment students who completed their Associate in Arts degree while in high school and more than 700 are first-generation college students.

“Many of your peers gave up. Many people your age could not make it, but you did,’’ said State Sen. Tin a Po l s k y, who spoke at the morning ceremony for the Associate in Science, Bachelor of Applied Science and Bachelor of Science degree programs and the certificate programs. “If you do nothing else, this cannot be taken away from you.”

“Whatever challenges you face, Palm Beach State College has given you the opportunity to be successful, to achieve your dreams,’’ said Sen. Gayle Harrell, the keynote speaker at the afternoon ceremony for the Associate in Arts degree graduates.

Urban League honors three members of Panther family The Urban League of Palm Beach County honored three members of the Palm Beach State College Panther family for their outstanding leadership and service in the community.

George Elmore, founder and president of Hardrives, Inc. in Delray Beach, a PBSC Foundation board member since 2011 and PBSC donor for over 30 years, received the Lifetime Achievement Award. PBSC President Ava L. Parker, J.D., received the Trailblazer Award and Gabriel Gerig, a dual enrollment student who completed his Associate in Arts degree while at Inlet Grove Community High School, received the Youth Achievement Award. Gerig, salutatorian of his high school class, will attend Harvard University in the fall on a full-ride scholarship.

The Urban League presented the awards May 19 at its 48th Annual Equal Opportunity Day Awards Breakfast held at the West Palm Beach Airport Hilton.

A total of six individuals were honored in five categories at the event, where U.S. Rep. Sheila McCormick was the keynote speaker.

Elmore established this heavy construction company in 1953. From its beginning as a small driveway contractor, Hardrives May 27 - June 2, 2022

grew with South Florida to include construction of major highways and site developments, becoming one of the largest road construction firms in Palm Beach County and one of South Florida’s preeminent heavy construction firms. In partnerships with affiliates, he also developed major residential and golf course communities throughout the area.

He has a longstanding history of giving back to the community through his commitment to civic, education and cultural organizations in the Palm Beach County area. He has served on over thirty boards, including as president or chairman of some. In addition to the PBSC Foundation Board, he is still active on other boards today, including South Florida PBS, Kravis Center for the Performing Arts and others.

Parker will mark her seventh year at the helm of PBSC on July 1. As the College’s fifth and first female president, she has blazed many trails during her tenure.

The Urban League presents the Trailblazer Award to “an accomplished leader in education who has made considerable contributions to her respective peers and community and who has made great strides in

promoting diversity, inclusion and equity, and has led efforts to support diverse organizations or groups.”

Among numerous achievements under Parker’s leadership, the College launched the Dr. Barbara Carey-Shuler Equity Institute in 2020 to improve retention and help close the graduation gap for minority students. Since the center’s establishment, the College already has seen gains in retention and completion rates. The College also has secured significant corporate donations, including a $200,000 grant from Bank of America to increase completion and job placement rates for underserved youth and an $800,000 FPL grant to strengthen diversity in STEM. “One of the things that I am most proud of as the leader of this great institution is the extensive work, at every level, that goes into ensuring we are meeting the needs of all students. We provide a high quality academic experience to ensure the success of our students. If our students want to succeed we help them reach their goals,” Parker said. “It’s truly an honor to be recognized alongside George, one of our strongest supporters and partners, and our outstanding student, Gabriel.”

Gerig moved to West Palm Beach from Venezuela with his parents and younger sister in 2017 and started his eighth grade year of middle school not knowing English. He faced challenges, particularly with peers who deliberately gave him incorrect and embarrassing word translations. Despite that, he focused on learning the lan-

www.bocaratontribune.com

guage and excelling in school.

He attended the Pre-Medical Academy at Inlet Grove High School for a fresh start with new friends. “I pretty much had to learn English on my own,’’ he said. “Thanks to God, hard work and dedication, I overcame that.”

In addition to being salutatorian of his senior class, Gerig is also senior class president, National Honor Society president, captain of the boys varsity soccer team and founder of the Multicultural Club. He is a 2022 Pathfinder Award winner for Community Involvement and earned a CocaCola Scholarship and a prestigious Carson Scholarship.

In 2020, the summer after his sophomore year, he began taking classes at PBSC to help seal his educational future by completing his A.A. degree. He graduated summa cum laude this month. Thanks to his academic achievements, community service and Harvard’s generous financial aid program for promising youth, he does not have to worry about funding his education. At Harvard, he plans to pursue either a path to becoming a neuroscientist or a career in economics.

He credits his opportunities partly to his parents, particularly his father, Jonathan Contreras, who was a lawyer in their country. As the main breadwinner, he cannot go back to school at this time to pursue that career in the U.S. “My dad sacrificed so much. I would want him to go back to school once I’m established.”

Alumnae Credit PBA for Opportunity to Help Ukrainian Refugees in Poland For a week, Sarah Roulette had been praying for an opportunity to help Ukrainian refugees. God answered her prayers through fellow alumna Cayla Metzger, who needed a photojournalist to join her on a mission to Poland.

Roulette and Metzger spent one week in April volunteering with Aerial Recovery Group in Rzeszow, a Polish city an hour and a half from the Ukrainian border. The Nashville-based nonprofit sends teams of trained volunteers to respond to manmade and natural disasters.

When Aerial Recovery Group saw that Metzger, a Nashville resident, had coordinated mission trips, they asked her to help coordinate their humanitarian trip to Poland and Ukraine. Metzger sought a photographer and videographer to join the team, and she knew of Roulette’s remarkable photo and video skills from their college days.

While a PBA student, Roulette was a director for the Emmy Award-winning film Four Families in Mafraq, which follows the stories of four Syrian refugee families living in the Middle East. Roulette now works as communications coordinator for Adopt-A-Family of the Palm Beaches.

Sarah Roulette poses for a photo with Nina, a Ukrainian teenager who helped translate, and another girl she met while

serving refugees in Poland.Roulette felt “very led to help in some way,” with the Ukrainian refugee crisis and followed her former professor Dr. Mike Griffin’s advice to “put your ‘yes’ on the table and give it to God.” She was open to helping in any

way she could. When the opportunity to use her photojournalism skills popped up, that was even better.

“My heart with journalism is to give a voice to people who are experiencing unimaginable hardship and hearing and honoring their stories,” Roulette said. “My trips with PBA equipped me well to handle the weight of that. I owe a lot of that to what I learned in intercultural studies.”

Metzger is director of communications for Su Refugio, a nonprofit serving orphans and widows in Paraguay, Peru and

Argentina. As a PBA student, she was part of a team of students who designed and executed a public relations campaign for Su Refugio, where she later interned.

Both 2020 graduates say their PBA experiences opened the door for them to effectively serve Ukrainian refugees in Poland.

Half of their team – the special ops military veterans – went into Ukraine to evacuate orphans from bomb shelters to vetted safe houses within Ukraine’s borders. Orphans, who are susceptible to human trafficking, must remain in the country because they are in the custody of the state, Metzger said.

Metzger and Roulette worked in the refugee camps in Poland, aided by two or three translators and the Google Translate app. Just a short drive from Ukraine, “life around us was very, very normal,” Metzger said But for the refugees, life was anything but normal. Moms who gave birth just before crossing the border hadn’t yet been seen by a doctor. A physician assistant did medical check-ins for the new mothers, people with head colds and people whose prescriptions were running out.

Mothers and grandmothers who flee are left to care for rambunctious young children alone because men are required to stay in Ukraine to fight. The Aerial Recov-

ery Group team put together a trampoline for one camp and a sandbox for another to help keep the children entertained.

Roulette’s job was to get to know the people in the camps, interview them and photograph them. On one occasion, she sat in a coffee shop in the mall uploading her photos while the rest of her team shopped for luggage, suitcases and supplies to deliver to the camps the next morning.

Roulette was especially impressed by Nina, a 14-year-old girl who was excited to practice her English. A hairdresser on their team spent the day giving the refugee women and children haircuts, and Nina helped translate the styles.

“It was sweet to see Nina be used in that way at such a young age,” Roulette said. “She had so much light and love in her. She is one of the sweetest and most compassionate people I’ve met.”

Roulette and Metzger were among the younger people in the group and learned much from those who were older. Roulette was very ill on the last few days of the trip and was encouraged by the way the other women cared for her. She also worked alongside another experienced photographer on the trip.

“What a gift it was to serve with those specific people and see their hearts,” Roulette said.

Acevedo Inks with the Owls Tennis Team

Nicolas Acevedo, a rising senior transfer from Wichita State, will transfer to Florida Atlantic University this fall, as announced by Ricardo Gonzalez, FAU’s director of tennis, on Monday.

Acevedo comes to FAU with a twoyear collegiate record of 27-18, including a career singles dual match mark of 24-16.

The Concepcion, Chile native played No. 1 and No. 2 for the Shockers in 2021-22 going 7-3 on court one and 5-4 on court two. He split time in 2020-21 playing courts three-five, tallying seven wins opposed to five losses on court four.

His career doubles mark stands at 1824, with each of the wins coming in headto-head competition and three of the losses in tournaments. He tallied an 11-12 record in 2022, playing with five different partners.

Acevedo was named as the American Athletic Conference Player of the Week on February 1, 2022, and he received academic

www.bocaratontribune.com

honor in the fall of 2021 as a member of the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll.

Acevedo joined the Wichita State team in 2019-20 but did not compete.
