Jonathan and Laura Beinner Make $1 Million Gift to Boca Regional New Boca Raton Regional Hospital philanthropists Jonathan and Laura Beinner have made a $1 million gift to Keeping the Promise…The Campaign for Boca Raton Regional Hospital. The gift is their first-time contribution to the hospital. The Beinner’s generosity brings the total of seven- and eight-figure donors to the campaign to 43. Keeping the Promise has already raised more than $230 million toward its goal of $250 million. “We are always grateful when new donors make extraordinary gifts to the hospital,” said Lincoln Mendez, CEO of Boca Raton Regional Hospital. “This one is particularly moving because it is their very first gift to us, and the seven-figure generosity tells us the Beinners believe in our vision, this initiative, and Keeping the Promise.

GENERAL INFORMATION (561) 393-7700

• Boca Helping Hands has received more than 7,600 pounds of cereal this year, from collection drives organized by Cereal4All, a nonproﬁt organization that was started by 14-year-old twin brothers Jett and Luke Justin, Boca Raton residents who attend Don Estridge Middle School. This donation means that Boca Helping Hands will be able to provide clients with about 72,000 bowls of cereal.

a Boynton Beach resident, speaking of his inspiration for ‘Stand Up for Hope,’ said “laughter is sometimes the best medicine, and it feels good knowing we were able to do that and give hope to so many people who needed it, like my family did.” He lost both his teenage daughter as well as his niece to suicide and he became an active board member for the Southeast Florida chapter of the AFSP organization.

• The Boynton Beach City Library’s Summer Reading initiative, “Oceans of Possibilities,” begins on Saturday, June 4 with a Kick-Off Party from 10 am -2 pm at Centennial Park (120 E. Ocean Ave.). Children (ages 5-12) and teenagers can register for the Summer Reading Program, play themed activities, make crafts, and receive a free icy treat.

• Encapsulating love and a lifetime of affection for your #1 dad can be a daunting task. Thankfully, on June 19, the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens is brimming with Father’s Day programming and one-ofa-kind delights that your pop is sure to prize even if he’s already received the best gift ever — you.

• Designed to enable kids of all income brackets the opportunity to experience superior, personalized education, the Fuller Center, a not-for-proﬁt organization focused on early childhood development, has space available in its private elementary school, the Fuller Academy, on the organization’s West Campus at 10130 185th Street South, Boca Raton.

Every second, an older person in the United States falls and injures themselves, and every 20 minutes one of them dies from the fall. More than 30 percent of adults 65 and older fall every year and 25 percent of them have moderate to severe injuries. These falls result in 3 million visits to the emergency department, 800,000 hospitalizations and 30,000 deaths each year. The problem is especially acute in Florida where more than 3.3 million residents are over age 65. Although there are comprehensive guidelines on fall prevention, most efforts at the primary care level and in emergency departments have not shown great promise preventing injury. Moreover, primary care physicians rarely perform recommended routine fall-risk assessment and fall prevention strategies. Researchers from Florida Atlantic University’s Schmidt College of Medicine have received a $1 million grant from the Florida Medical Malpractice Joint Underwriting Association for a two-year project titled, “The Geriatric Emergency Department Fall Injury Prevention Project (The GREAT FALL).” The randomized controlled study will investigate several emergency departmentbased prevention strategies in older patients at high risk for recurrent falls and injury. The tailored multicomponent intervention will identify effective fall prevention strategies that target limited resources to high-risk individuals who come to the emergency department to improve patient outcomes, improve safety, and reduce overall costs of health care. “The emergency department provides an opportunity to target efforts and maximize resources to reduce the risk of fall-related injuries,” said Richard Shih, M.D., principal investigator, a professor of emergency medicine, and division director of the emergency medicine residency program, FAU Schmidt College of Medicine. “Importantly, older patients who have injured themselves after a fall and come to the emergency department have an even higher risk for recurrent falls and subsequent injuries. Therefore, targeting older individuals and their caregivers in the emergency department could provide the most beneficial return when limited resources are available to enhance safety in these individuals.” “The GREAT FALL” builds upon two prior FAU prevention projects: “The GREAT STOP” to prevent head trauma in older adults on blood thinners; and the “STAR” program that included many different types of high-risk older patients. “The GREAT STOP” project enrolled about 6,000 head injury patients among whom the vast majority suffered their injury due to a ground level fall. The work has led to a

www.bocaratontribune.com

number of important insights regarding fallrelated head injury in the older population. Shih is leading a collaborative group of emergency medicine and geriatric medicine researchers with vast experience in this field. The team is collaborating with the Palm Beach Health Network’s Delray Medical Center , which treats more than 50,000 adult patients in its emergency department and includes a busy level 1 trauma center, the highest level of trauma care available. The main outcome measure of the study will determine the rate of recurrent fall requiring an emergency department visit and fall-related injury over a six-month follow-up period. Additional secondary outcomes will include types of fall-related injuries, fall-related deaths and all-cause deaths. Study participants will be randomized to three strategies: current care; a phone-based fall-prevention strategy; and a home-visit fall prevention strategy. The phone-based strategy will include providing the patient and caregiver easy-to-read materials before they are discharged from the emergency department and a structured phone call around 14 days after discharge. Both the home-visit fall prevention strategy and phone strategy are based on the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s “Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths & Injuries.” “Florida is an ideal location to perform this important study as it has the highest percentage of geriatric patients in the U.S., and in particular, Palm Beach County has more than 365,000 residents age 65 and older, which makes up 24.4 percent of the county’s population,” said Julie G. Pilitsis, M.D., Ph.D., dean and vice president of medical affairs, FAU Schmidt College of Medicine. “This project will provide vital data on the best strategies to prevent falls in high-risk individuals and improve their safety as well as patient outcomes.” Co-investigators of the study are Lisa Clayton, D.O., an associate professor of emergency medicine and chair, FAU Department of Emergency Medicine; Joseph G. Ouslander, M.D., a professor of geriatric medicine, senior advisor to the dean, and editor-in-chief of the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society; Scott Alter, M.D., an assistant professor of emergency medicine and associate research director of FAU’s emergency medicine residency program; Joshua Solano, M.D., an associate professor of emergency medicine and director of quality improvement and patient safety, FAU’s emergency medicine residency program; and Patrick Hughes, D.O., an associate professor of emergency medicine and assistant program director, FAU’s emergency medicine residency program.

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 serviceman 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

Wisdom is More Than Accumulated Information A wise person is a well-informed individual. Yet, the mere accumulation of information does not necessarily constitute wisdom. You may go to school for many years and learn all kinds of important and legitimate facts; you may devour important books and benefit from what you find in them. But wisdom is acquired differently and it entails other factors! Throughout my years I’ve encountered several persons who had an impressive academic baggage, but by observing their life and the decisions they often made, it was most obvious that June 3 - June 9, 2022

they were devoid of true wisdom! By the same token, I’ve also met quite a few people who had no academic credentials; some had not even ﬁnished elementary school. Nevertheless, in their dealings, in their demeanor, and by the results of many of their transactions, they demonstrated what wisdom entails. Ultimately, wisdom is the preferred path one should follow, the most important possession for one to acquire. It is reached through careful thinking, followed by sound choices led by that process. It entails gains as well as losses, additions but also subtractions!

One cannot accept whatever is said or written without first analyzing those ideas through a pre-established grid. Wisdom is reached by intelligent comparisons and contrasts; it demands solid discernment between a variety of options; it can never be attained without a prior understanding of the potential consequences of every action taken! Wisdom needs not to be limited to a small segment of the human race. It is available to any person regardless of age, anyone who seeks it diligently throughout life, and is eager to incorporate it in all the decision-making pro-

www.bocaratontribune.com

cesses, and in every aspect of one’s daily living, in things great or small! The Author of Life is also the Giver of Wisdom which He does not deny to anyone who diligently seeks it from Him. Like most products we utilize, it must be followed in accordance with the prescriptions offered, lest it ceases from being wisdom. It enables its practitioner to view life more realistically and to arrive at conclusions never before imagined. Among all credentials anyone could ever display, wisdom is the most essential and absolutely necessary!

ROBERT’S COMMUNITY’S REPORT

By Robert J. Tamasy

By: Robert Weinroth

Around Palm Beach County with Mayor Weinroth On May 23, 2022, Mayor Weinroth joined fellow commissioners, county staff and members of Palm Beach County Fire Rescue to recognize the air traffic controllers who assisted in the safe landing of a small aircraft in distress at Palm Beach International Airport. On May 17, the pilot of a single-engine plane experienced a medical emergency as the plane approached the coast near Boca Raton. Consequently, the air traffic controllers and the passenger, who had no prior flight experience, successfully landed the plane safely at PBI. Their quick actions and abilities resulted in the best possible outcome and for that, we were extremely grateful. Congratulations to Robert Morgan, Mark Siviglia, Gregory Battani, Ryan Warren and Joshua Somers! On May 26, 2022, Mayor Weinroth presented a proclamation declaring May 21-27, 2022, as National Safe Boating Week to volunteers of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. As the largest volunteer arm of the U.S. Coast Guard, enhancing recreational boating safety and educating the public is their primary mission. Current U.S. Coast Guard statistics indicate 650 people die annually in boating-related accidents in the U.S.,

and 86% of the fatalities are caused by drowning. Unfortunately, the vast majority of these accidents are the result of human error and/or poor judgment and not by the boat, equipment or environmental factors. The auxiliary offers free courses to boaters of all levels, taught by trained instructors committed to the highest standards. They also offer courtesy inspections to boaters to ensure that their boat and equipment meet all federal and state safety requirements. 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).

How Memorials Keep Us From Forgetting This year in the United States, May 30 marks the observance of Memorial Day, an annual day for remembering the sacrifices of many thousands of men and women who died while serving in the military. It originated in the days following the U.S. Civil War. While not celebrating war, the annual holiday memorializes those who have lost their lives and recognizes the great price they paid in the name of freedom over nearly 250 years. There are many kinds of memorials. We have buildings, streets, libraries, parks and even hospital wings are named after individuals who have made invaluable contributions to their communities and society. Some businesses continue to bear the names of their deceased founders. Tombstones and other kinds of grave markers served as memorials to loved ones whose lives have come to an end. I remember hearing a speaker tell about how nameplates were put on artwork, pews and even offering plates at his church to remember important members of the congregation who had died. Imagine making a contribution in Mrs. Wilson’s offering plate – hope she would appreciate it. Memorials have many purposes. They preserve the memories of people for future generations. They serve as final gestures of appreciation for important leaders, as well as expressions of love for dear family members. And they enable us to maintain links to our heritage and significant moments in our history. In the Bible, we find many exhortations to remember, never to forget what God has done on our behalf in the past. In one New Testament book, after declaring, “It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of

www.bocaratontribune.com

the living God,” the readers are then admonished, “Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering…. So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised” (Hebrews 10:31-35). This passage addresses a very common tendency most of us have – to forget things that have happened in the past as we confront struggles in the present. For those who follow Jesus Christ, it is often important to think back to what He has done to find assurance about what He can and will do in the future. We find a number of references to memorials in the Old Testament. Not long after the Israelites had been freed from centuries of slavery to the Egyptians, God instituted the Passover observance, stating, “Now this day will be a memorial to you, and you shall celebrate it as a feast to the Lord” (Exodus 12:14). Perhaps the most famous “memorial” in the Scriptures occurred when Jesus, just before His betrayal, trial, and crucifixion, was observing the Passover with His disciples. After breaking the unleavened bread and giving pieces to each, He told them, “This is my body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me” (Luke 22:19). To this day, Christ-followers around the world observe holy communion as a memorial to His sacrificial death for our sins. Perhaps we would do well, as we move forward in our careers and our lives in general, to establish our own memorials to remind us of important people, events – and most of all, what God has done for us.

FAU Student Named Udall Scholar Florida Atlantic University student Bernard Harrigan has been named a 2022 Udall Scholar, marking the first time in the University’s history that one of its students was presented with this scholarship. Harrigan, 46, is a junior pursuing a bachelor’s degree in environmental justice and social change from the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College at FAU’s John D. MacArthur Campus in Jupiter. The Udall Foundation awards scholarships to college sophomores and juniors for leadership, public service and commitment to issues related to Native American nations or to the environment. “Seeing the devastation of Florida’s barrier reef systems, climate and resources, one can come to a conclusion that we are on a path less desired,” said Harrigan. “I am trying to make sure that the future will have beauty and reasons to continue to push forward like we always have. I know that to achieve this, the solutions need to be equitable to allow all to help make positive strides toward a better tomorrow.” Harrigan conducted research on international law as a Morton Research Fellow and also was named an outstanding dele-

gate at the National Model United Nations Conference with the Leon Charney Diplomacy Program. “I’m absolutely thrilled that Bernard received this prestigious award,” said William E. O’Brian, Ph.D., chair and professor of environmental studies at the Wilkes Honors College. “The Udall Scholarship seeks students with a strong and clear plan to contribute to a positive environmental future while emphasizing civic engagement and commitment to bettering society. Bernard is a perfect fit on both counts, with a desire to chart a resilient climate future where no community bears a disproportionate burden in facing the environmental changes to come.” The Udall Scholarship honors the legacies of brothers Morris and Stewart Udall, Arizona lawmakers whose careers had a significant impact on Native American selfgovernance, health care, and the stewardship of public lands and natural resources. Harrigan applied for the Udall Scholarship with assistance from FAU’s Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry and Prestigious Fellowships.

‘STAND UP For Hope’ Comedy Event Raises Over $30,000 to Benefit South Florida Suicide Prevention Chapter Alan Mednick had the idea that stand-up comedy could work as a successful fundraising event for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). Mednick, a Boynton Beach resident, speaking of his inspiration for ‘Stand Up for Hope,’ said “laughter is sometimes the best medicine, and it feels good knowing we were able to do that and give hope to so many people who needed it, like my family did.” He lost both his teenage daughter as well as his niece to suicide and he became an active board member for the Southeast Florida chapter of the AFSP organization. This past Thursday, Mednick co-hosted ‘Stand Up for Hope’ at the West Palm Beach Improv with popular stand-up comic Sarge as the headliner on a lineup that also included Rick Corso and Josh Rosen. Mednick’s cohost for the event was Miranda Khan, who is also his co-host on their Real America’s Voice network TV show, ‘Real Convo.’ Khan said, “We’re making a difference and saving lives, while giving people a much-needed dose of

laughter after what has been a very stressful past two years.” Khan is also a board member for the Southeast Florida chapter of AFSP, as well as a survivor of suicide loss following the death of her sister. The former WPTV channel 5 anchor became open about the topic after completing her sister’s book, ‘Blossoms of Floraland.’ The event drew close to 200 people and was a smashing success, even exceeding Mednick’s stated goal of $30,000 in funds raised, thanks largely to about 20 named sponsors, including Joseph Perez, Good Greek Insurance, Umttr, and Forever Frosty, among many others. In addition to the top-shelf stand-up acts, Janice Hamilton served as auctioneer for items that ranged from vacations to exotic locations like Bali to a ride in the Goodyear blimp.

Fun Activities for Kids Who Love Dinosaurs (StatePoint) Have a little dinosaur enthusiast in your life? If you’re looking for new and creative ways to keep your little one entertained, try these fun dino-themed activities: • Make dino treats: Use a dinosaur cookie cutter set to bake cookies into different prehistoric shapes, like brontosauruses, pterodactyls and velociraptors. This can be a fun way to let kids show off their knowledge by identifying the different types of dinosaurs and listing fun facts about each one. They can even decorate the cookies to add realistic details. • Infuse dino fun into playtime: A fun line-up of toys from VTech can totally transform playtime, letting kids stomp into the cool and crazy world of dinosaurs. These Switch & Go toys quickly transform from fearsome dino to sleek vehicle and include ultra-cool effects like fiery lights with a lightning trail and fun, roaring sounds. The Switch & Go Velociraptor Jet starts as

a ferocious raptor and turns into a propeller disc-launching jet with an animated pilot. Kids can pit the Velociraptor Jet against the T-Rex Muscle Car for tough competition or the T-Rex Race Car for ultra-speed,

or choose from other dino-vehicles in the Switch & Go line. • Take a field trip: Take a trip to the nearest science museum or museum of natural history to explore fascinating exhibits

and get a close-up look at fossils and skeletons. Learn what dinosaurs ate, where and when they lived and other fun facts. From the gentle brontosaurus to the terrifying Tyrannosaurus rex, some exhibitions even feature animatronic dinosaurs that move and behave in the way scientists believe they once did. • Craft dino masks: With a few supplies you have around the house, kids can make colorful and creative dinosaur masks. Paper plate masks are always a fun and simple option and require no more than markers or paint, safety scissors, something adhesive, such as glue or tape, and string or elastic to secure the mask. Whether you create your own design or follow a tutorial online, this activity is a great idea for both birthday parties and just everyday crafting fun. From delicious treats to cool new toys, there are many ways you can embrace your child’s love of dinosaurs at home and in your community.

Rainy Day Fun for Kids and Families (StatePoint) Rainy days don’t have to be dreary. Here are five great ways to keep little ones active and entertained when the weather isn’t cooperating: 1. Cozy up with books: A day spent indoors at home is the perfect time to cozy up with a good book. These days, some of the best book options that help expand vocabulary are interactive. For example, the Learning Friends 100 Words Book from LeapFrog features touch-sensitive pages that teach words in both English and Spanish. Covering learning categories like animals, colors and nature, it keeps kids entertained with sound effects, learning songs and fun facts. 2. Make artwork: Lay down some newspaper or banqueting paper and break out the smocks - it’s time to get messy and creative. Finger painting and sponge painting are both super fun and give kids an opportunity to express themselves, even before they’ve mastered the skill of holding a brush. When their creations are finished drying, be sure to display them somewhere everyone can see. 3. Use fun tech: Give toddlers their own age-appropriate tech toys packed with learning fun and perfect for downtime. Featuring exciting games and activities that teach letters, numbers, music and more, the award-winning 2-in-1 LeapTop Touch changes from a laptop with a full letter keyboard to a touch screen tablet, making it a great way to introduce computer literacy skills to kids. 4. Play pretend: The park may not be Plus

the best option on a rainy day, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go on a pretend picnic. The Shapes & Sharing Picnic Basket makes it easy to head to the living room, play room or bedroom for a tasty adventure. Pack a snack for two in a cute talking

basket that teaches polite phrases and then pretend to nibble on yummy treats while exploring food, shapes and colors. 5. Have a movie marathon: Pop the popcorn and get some cozy pillows! Whether you stick with a particular fran-

Tire Kingdom Partners with the American Heart Association Tire Kingdom® Service Centers, a leader in the automotive aftermarket space with over 200 stores throughout Florida, worked alongside the American Heart Association (AHA) to provide CPR equipment to Royal Palm Beach High School for National CPR and AED Awareness Week. This annual initiative, which takes place from June 1 through June 7, raises awareness regarding sudden cardiac arrest and stresses the importance of CPR and automated external deﬁbrillator (AED) use. Tire Kingdom partnered with the AHA, an organization that has been ﬁghting heart disease and stroke and helping families and communities thrive for nearly 100 years, to donate two CPR training kits. These kits will be used by educators, school nurses, and student leaders to not only train groups of 10 to 20 students at once, but can also be used to extend lifesaving training to parents, volunteers, and community members. “CPR can double or triple someone’s chance of surviving cardiac arrest,” said Stacey Comerford, Vice President of Development for the American Heart Association Palm Beach County. “The majority of cardiac arrests that happen outside of a hospital, happen at home. That’s why we’re so passionate about training people of all ages to provide CPR, because it enables them to save lives out in the community but also to potentially save the lives of their family members in an emergency.” The CPR in Schools Training Kit™ enables students to learn the lifesaving skills of hands-only CPR in as little as 30 minutes.

it teaches AED use and choking relief, creating more qualiﬁed lifesavers in our communities and ultimately safer communities. The importance of CPR training has also been recognized across the country as 39 states now require student CPR training as a graduation requirement. The program is a wonderful enhancement to current health and physical education curriculum. “To have these CPR training kits is so important,” said Principal Michelle Flemming. “It’s really an honor to be able to train our students to save lives in an emergency situation.” The School District of Palm Beach County is the tenth-largest in the nation and the ﬁfth-largest in the State of Florida. As the largest employer in Palm Beach County, the School District has 22,600 employees, including more than 12,900 teachers. Royal Palm Beach Community High School, part

of the School District of Palm Beach County, is dedicated to meeting the holistic needs of all students. In August, Tire Kingdom also unveiled a wellness area at the school to improve mental and physical health for teachers, faculty, and staff enabling them to continue to provide the best support for students. “We are honored to once again partner with the American Heart Association and Royal Palm Beach High School in our efforts to build a culture of health and wellness,” said Brian Maciak, EVP, General Counsel & Chief Compliance Ofﬁcer of TBC Corporation, the parent company of Tire Kingdom, who oversees social responsibility. “This relationship over the past year has allowed us the opportunity to provide essential tools to educate and engage students and faculty while inspiring them to make lasting changes for their heart health.”

PBSC and CCE Create Partnership to help underserved youth explore careers Palm Beach State College Corporate and Continuing Education (CCE) department and Love, Hope & Healing, Inc., a nonprofit organization, have partnered to develop a five-week Career Exploration Summer Program. The program will be for 20 underserved, underrepresented youth ages 15 and 16 from the Riviera Beach area and will be held Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to noon June 6 through July 11 (no class the week of July 4) on PBSC’s Lake Worth campus. Each week, participants will be provided 12 hours of training and insight into the following career fields: trades, healthcare, public safety, business and computers and cosmetology. At the end of the program, each participant will receive a certificate of completion from PBSC. “Growing up, we’ve seen the effects of the system and the lack of access in our communities, even still today,” said Donte and Yolanda Bates, cofounders of Love, Hope & Healing, Inc. in a joint statement. “The children are our future and will always be, especially during this difficult pandemic time. We are here to change the narrative by giving our students access to experienced professionals coupled with actual tools that will set them up for success.” “Part of PBSC’s mission is to transform lives and strengthen our community, and the collaboration with Love, Hope & Healing is helping us to fulfill our mission,” said PBSC CCE’s Director Jenny Posadas. “Our common goal is to help our youth have an outlet to explore possible

In today’s world, our young population faces challenges that are unique to our lives; therefore, we need all hands-on deck.” A kick-off event was held May 19 at the Lake Worth campus with program participants and their families, PBSC staff, the Bates, Alan Bottorff, a Love, Hope & Healing board member, City of Riviera Beach Mayor Ronnie Felder, attorney Edwin Ferguson, the PBSC drumline and other community leaders. “Often times we are told that post high school education is the only path to reach success,” said Bottorff. “What is missing in that statement is that many have different passions when it comes to what is next. Although I am a true believer in education, it would be bias to

think that trade programs are secondary to the traditional education path. To me, it’s just another option.” Posadas says that the College’s commitment to the community will not stop with Love, Hope, & Healing. She hopes to partner with other organizations to offer more of these types of programs. “We are thrilled to partner with Love, Hope & Healing to help increase access to opportunities for these local teens,” said Deborah Gordon, PBSC CCE’s business and education development partner. “The careers that students are being introduced to through this program will help put them on a path to economic stability and financial independence throughout their lives.” PBSC’s CCE department provides busi-

Nineteen Hooters Girls from Florida, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island distributed coloring books, crayons, sunglasses and toiletries to 90 children at Gateway Christian Academy in Bimini. The Hooters Girls enjoyed spending time with the kids during their visit to Bimini for their 2023 Hooters Calendar shoots. The 11 Hooters Girls from Florida who participated in the school visit are from the Fort Myers Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Hialeah, Sarasota and Fort Myers Hooters locations. Grace Burchett (Fort Myers Beach), Alexis Costello (Fort Myers Beach), Anjolie Santana (Fort Myers Beach), Hana Joy (Fort Myers Beach), Courtney Sullivan (Fort Lauderdale), Jenise Lebron (Fort Lauderdale), Auno Ferro (Boca Raton), Madison Novo (Hialeah), Jessica Dowling (Fort Lauderdale), Sloan Miavitz (Sarasota) and Tara Archer (Fort Myers) enjoyed the opportunity to put smiles on the children’s faces. “The experience of going to the school was absolutely breathtaking, a feeling like no other. I automatically felt unconditional love from all the kids running everywhere and hugging us. It was more of a sharing of love moment rather than giving donations. It meant more to me to form connections with them, I immediately felt like family,” said Sarasota Hooters Girl Sloan Miavitz. Miavitz will be representing Sarasota Hooters in the Miss Hooters International Pageant in June. “It was one of the best days of my life. I’ve never traveled outside of the June 3 - June 9, 2022

country. The kids had smiles from ear to ear. Instead of them rushing to look at what goodies we had brought them, they just wanted to know about us. I’m a kid at heart so immediately I felt in my element. We took selfies, did cartwheels and shared so many funny jokes. I told them that I would be representing Miami in the Hooters International Pageant, which was followed by them asking me if I knew any of the Miami Heat players. This was absolutely life changing and I give the biggest thanks to Hooters for providing me with endless opportunities like this,” said Hialeah Hooters Girl Madison Novo. Novo will be representing Hialeah Hooters in the Miss Hooters International Pageant in June. “Visiting the elementary school in Bimini was hands down my favorite part of the trip this year. Meeting the kids was such a special and memorable experience. We are fortunate that our company presents us with opportunities to give back, both in our local communities and internationally. I am so proud to be a part of LTP,” said Fort Myers Beach Hooters Girl Grace Burchett. “We are thankful for the opportunity to visit and provide toiletries and activities for all of the children to enjoy this summer. We visit Bimini annually as part of our calendar shoot and giving back to the community including schools and children is important to us. It is always a highlight and tradition during our trip to Bimini,” said LTP Management Director of Marketing Kristi Quarles.

Daughters in the South Florida community a memorable experience during Father’s Day weekend and we look forward to our fifth Father and Daughter Dance,” said Carey Family Foundation Founders Vernon and LaTavia Carey.

FAU Study shows 15 Housing Markets Overvalued by More Than 50 Percent The high cost of housing across the country is playing out in once-remote markets and major metropolitan areas, making homeownership unattainable for many Americans and a risky bet for others. Four U.S. housing markets are overvalued by more than 60 percent, while 11 others are overvalued by more than 50 percent, according to the latest study from researchers at Florida Atlantic University and Florida International University. Boise, Idaho, long considered a distant outpost far from big-city job centers, leads the nation in overpriced housing, with more people discovering the area while working remotely during the pandemic. Boise’s pricing history suggests homes now should cost an average price of $299,202, although the typical buyer is paying $516,548 – 72.64 percent above the area’s long-term pricing trend. No. 2 Austin, Texas is quickly gaining ground, with buyers paying 67.70 percent more than they should. Buyers in Ogden, Utah (64.73 percent) and Las Vegas (61.48 percent) also are paying signiﬁcant premiums to live there. Atlanta, Phoenix and Provo, Utah lead a contingent of communities overvalued by more than 50 percent. Meanwhile, No. 8 Fort Myers, Florida, formerly known as a vacation and retirement haven south of Tampa, has fast become synonymous with

unaffordable housing. It moved into the Top 10 for the ﬁrst time. The full rankings with interactive graphics can be found here. “Near-record-low mortgage rates

helped fuel demand for housing, especially during the pandemic, and the competition for homes pushed prices higher. But now the Federal Reserve is raising rates to curtail inﬂation, and already that’s cooling demand,” said Ken H. Johnson, Ph.D., an economist in FAU’s College of Business. A looming slowdown could help people priced out of the market get into homes, but it also may be a serious concern for some consumers, Johnson added.

“If we’re not at the peak of the current housing cycle, we’re awfully close,” he said. “Recent buyers in many of these cities may have to endure stagnant or falling home values while the market settles – and that’s not what they want to hear if they had planned to resell anytime soon.” Each month, Johnson and Eli Beracha, Ph.D., of FIU’s Hollo School of Real Estate, rank the most overvalued housing markets of America’s 100 largest metros by determining the premiums buyers are paying. The larger the premium, the more overpriced a market is. The researchers’ data dates back to 1996 and covers singlefamily homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops. The rankings do not consider how expensive a market traditionally is. The two high-cost housing markets of New York and San Francisco, for example, are among the least overvalued in the country because homes in those two metros still are selling relatively close to where they should be, based on historical trends. Shoddy underwriting and a glut of homes on the market led to the housing crisis of 2006 to 2011, but those aren’t factors now, according to Beracha. “In the prior downturn, many homes lost half of their values, but I don’t think we’ll see anything close to that this time around,” he said. “Still, it could be painful

for many consumers who are buying near the top of the market.” Beracha and Johnson said outcomes from this housing crisis will vary across the country, with growing population cen-

ters suffering less from price declines but being saddled with prolonged affordability issues. Metros with stagnant or falling populations, however, will most likely take bigger hits to home prices but have far fewer issues with housing affordability.

‘Your Purpose Does Not End Here’: 600-Plus Graduates Look to the Future Building on the foundation laid by Palm Beach Atlantic’s pioneering first class, the class of 2022 launched into a world of limitless possibilities. Several members of the Class of 1972 sat near the stage at Monday’s commencement c e r e m o n y, which marked the 50th anniversary of their graduation. Before offering a prayer from the founding class, 1972 graduate Geraldine “Gerry” Padgett reflected: “This is the most wonderful event of my life.” Melina Willson encourages her class to “dream the impossible dream,” quoting PBA founding President Dr. Jess Moody. Marshall E. Rinker School of Business Outstanding Graduate Melina Willson quoted PBA founding President Jess Moody in her graduate reflection, in which she encouraged her classmates to “Dream the impossible dream.” “Your purpose does not end here. We are just getting started,” said Willson. “Your purpose is to love God, love people and live into your God-given gifts.” Travis Miller, the Outstanding Graduate for the Lloyd L. Gregory School of Pharmacy, also shared a reflection. He acknowledged the hardships his class faced due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which brought the world to a halt just as he and his classmates were hitting their stride, academically and socially. “As a class, we didn’t let this change of plan throw us off course,” Miller said. “If I could use one word to describe our class, that word would be ‘resilient.’” Citing Jeremiah 29:11, he encouraged his classmates, “God has a plan for each one of us, and He wants us to glorify him in everything we do.” West Palm Beach Mayor Keith James offered similar words of encouragement, inspired by his mother, who was in the audience at the South Florida Fairgrounds. She was a teenage, single mom in Wichita, Kansas, when segregation was in full effect. She dropped out of college and worked as a maid to support James, who went on to graduate from Harvard Law School. He urged graduates, “Never let your current circumstances define your dreams or your future … your dreams should be bigger than your current world.” Commencement speaker Dr. Jimmy Scroggins, the lead pastor of Family June 3 - June 9, 2022

Church and a PBA trustee, talked to graduates about taking responsibility “for your own lives but also what is going on in this world.” He underscored his point with a story about one of his sons who, as a young driver, crashed into the gate at the entrance to their neighborhood. When his son told him what happened, Scroggins went to pick up the pieces of the gate. The security guard lectured him, prompting him to reply, “It’s not my fault.” The guard responded, “Sir, it may not be your fault, but if you’re his dad, it’s your responsibility.” Graduates sign a banner.To the graduates, Scroggins said, “There are many things that are not your fault, but they will be your responsibility.” He told them to turn to Proverbs 3:5-6 and to the example of the Lord Jesus when the responsibility seems like too much to bear. “He never sinned. He loved people, and He taught people, and He healed people, and He spoke truth to power and He stood up for people who could not stand up for themselves,” Scroggins said. “When he was in his young 30s, people who he loved crucified Him on a cross … The one who never sinned took my sins, and made my sins His responsibility.” Now Christian believers are called to represent Jesus and His values in the world, Scroggins said. “The followers of Jesus are commanded to do what Jesus would do if He was physically here Himself.” To the graduates, he said, “Jesus would look at you and he would look at me in this tremendous time of change and advancement and say, ‘Graduates, you can do it. You can make a difference. You can change it and you can make it better.’ The problems of this world are very real, and they are not your fault. But graduates, this is your world. This is your mission, and this is your moment, and this is your responsibility.” After Scroggins’ remarks, the graduates received their diplomas. Provost Dr. Randy Richards noted that PBA awarded its first Ph.D. Shawn Allen earned the Ph.D. in Practical Theology. Richards also commended Amber Lewis, who was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army after completing the Army ROTC requirements. Outstanding graduates from each school were recognized, as was Corts Award for Outstanding Teaching winner Professor David Athey. Community

Jonathan and Laura Beinner Make $1 Million Gift to Boca Regional New Boca Raton Regional Hospital philanthropists Jonathan and Laura Beinner have made a $1 million gift to Keeping the Promise…The Campaign for Boca Raton Regional Hospital. The gift is their firsttime contribution to the hospital. The Beinner’s generosity brings the total of seven- and eight-figure donors to the campaign to 43. Keeping the Promise has already raised more than $230 million toward its goal of $250 million. “We are always grateful when new donors make extraordinary gifts to the hospital,” said Lincoln Mendez, CEO of Boca Raton Regional Hospital. “This one is particularly moving because it is their very first gift to us, and the seven-figure generosity tells us the Beinners believe in our vision, this initiative, and Keeping the Promise. We welcome them as eminent philanthropists to our family of donors.” This gift will be acknowledged with the naming of The Jonathan and Laura Beinner Administrative Offices Suite in the New Gloria Drummond Patient Tower. “Without your health, it becomes really hard to enjoy your life,” said Laura Beinner. “Jon and I always support the hospitals, wherever we are. Now that we’re in Boca for the school year, we wanted to add Boca Regional to our list. Our family recognizes the importance of education, health and human services, and local and national Jewish causes. We feel very fortunate to be able to support key agencies in the communities in which we live and

are so grateful that we are in the position to do so.” The parents of three sons and a daughter, Jonathan and Laura strive to set good examples for their kids and, through their philanthropy, hope to impart the importance of giving back. Jonathan Beinner, a semi retired executive with Goldman Sachs, also recognizes the importance of strong

executive leadership. And while he’s now enjoying a new lifestyle, including the game of pickle ball, Jon felt it is important to support the Hospital and recognize its leadership. “Successful hospitals rely on leaders who are skilled and committed,” said Jonathan. “The two go hand in-hand. Laura and I wanted our gift to both support the hospital and salute its leadership.” “The Beinners gift comes at a time when we are hurtling with great momentum toward our $250 million goal,” said Stan Barry, co-chair of Keeping the Promise. “We thank them for this heartwarming gesture, and look forward to having them as part of the Boca Raton Regional Hospital family form here forward.” The $250 million Keeping the Promise Campaign is the largest fund-raising initiative in Boca Regional’s history and is supporting its most ambitious period of growth and expansion. The campus redevelopment plans include at the centerpiece, the new Gloria Drummond Patient Tower where patients will be welcomed in the inviting new Louis B. and Anne W. Green Lobby with plans for retail, dining, meeting space, a sanctuary, outdoor courtyards and other conveniences for visitors. The new tower features all new surgical suites and all private patient rooms exceeding the latest safety standards for patient care. In the current hospital building, all existing rooms will be converted to private in a comprehen-

sive renovation of all patient units including maternity, oncology, and orthopedics. An expansion of the Marcus Neuroscience Institute is well underway with emphasis on neurovascular/stroke, central nervous system tumors, spine, and epilepsy/seizure disorders. The recently opened 972-car Schmidt Family Parking Facility will be connected to the Marcus Neuroscience Institute once the new tower con-

Nominees are then voted on by members of CoSIDA. Seng was an All-SSC second-team hon-

oree during cross country season in the fall. On the track, she was the first PBA runner to beat 18 minutes in the 5000m race in 12 years. Her time of 17:55.24 is the secondfastest time in school history in the event. She is a USTFCCA Academic All-American and D2ADA Academic Achievement Award winner in her career.

The DI/DII game is set to begin at 7:30 p.m. ET. Sports

Earlier this month, Cosenza and Luette were both placed on All-SSC teams.

Luette was honored with an Honorable Mention by the SSC, the first all-conference honor of his career. He later was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District At-Large team for his work both on the field and in the classroom. He will find out if he is named a CoSIDA Academic All-American later this month. www.bocaratontribune.com
