With FAU Dorms at Capacity, School Turns to Hotels to House Incoming Freshmen Class With the price of rent increasing tremendously in Boca Raton, many FAU upperclassmen have opted to live on-campus instead of living off-campus, causing a shortage of dorm space for incoming underclassmen.

According to Insurify, Boca Raton is one of the US cities with the highest increases in rent prices, with the median apartment costing $2,074 a month.

So, instead of moving into dorms, some FAU students will be checking into hotels this fall, due to a housing shortage on campus.

Florida Atlantic University sent an email to a number of incoming freshmen families earlier this month notifying that they cannot provide housing.

The email states that dorms are at capacity “due to the size of our first-year class and the high volume of housing contracts we received.”

Nevertheless, FAU also told parents via email that they’ve secured a limited number of hotel rooms at the Fairfield Inn and the Renaissance Hotel in Boca Raton.

COMMUNITY Boca Raton resident evicted from Rotary of Boca Raton Gives $153K Big Brother house to 2 Paramedics at Palm Beach State College By: Matthew Lutey

Joe “Pooch” Pucciarelli found out the hard way you shouldn’t volunteer to be nominated for eviction in the Big Brother house.

The Boca Raton resident was sent home in a 12-0 vote on Sunday’s episode of the CBS reality show. Pooch’s eviction happened Thursday, and typically would have been shown live, but coverage of the Jan. 6 hearings changed the episode schedule for the week.

The objective of Big Brother is to be the last houseguest remaining, which results in a $750,000 prize. Houseguests are cut off from the outside world, followed by cameras and vie for power to be the Head of Household and nominate two players they would like to see eliminated.

A weekly vote is conducted to evict one of the nominated houseguests.

Pooch originally volunteered to be nominated, thinking that the house-wide ostracism of fellow nominee Taylor Hale would be enough to keep him around. Instead he didn’t get a single vote in his favor, and apparently was never clued in that he was going to be voted out.

“It’s shocking. That they were all on the same page,” Pooch said in his interview with host Julie Chen-Moonves after he was evicted. “There’s no jury, so I figured at least bring it up. I thought I would have at least heard from one person. … they did what they felt they needed to do, so I understand that from a game point. I heard 12-0 I genuinely thought that OK cool I’m straight.”

Julie revealed to Pooch that an alliance of five women spearheaded his eviction and asked if he underestimated the women in the house.

“Absolutely, absolutely.” Pooch said.

After seeds were planted in last Sunday’s episode, Wednesday’s episode showed the target further shifting from Taylor to Pooch, with most of the women in the house deciding that getting rid of Pooch would be best for their games.

“Although we wanted to get Taylor out last week, I think our best move is to get Pooch out (of) this house,” Jasmine Davis said. “We know he’s going to be a big threat

to us later on down the line, and we’re really trying to make it to the end.”

Pooch had the chance to remove himself from the block by winning the Power of Veto, but came up short in a competition that involved dressing up as a mermaid and pushing balls across a lane into holes.

Even though he didn’t win the veto, Pooch seemed confident there was nothing to worry about, despite being warned by his friend Joseph Abdin not to get too comfortable.

“I’m feeling pretty good to be honest,” Pooch said in the diary room at the end of We d n e s d a y ’s episode. “I’m still sitting up there on the block next to public enemy number one Taylor. I think I’m playing a great game. I’m great for this house, great for Big Brother. I’ll let you in on a little secret, you don’t got to be too nervous, I think your boy Pooch is staying another week, and you’ll have a little bit more of Pooch.”

The guys that were close to Pooch didn’t vote to keep him because they didn’t have the numbers in their favor. It was revealed to Kyle Capener by Alyssa Snider that there may be an all-girls alliance, which set off red flags for him, but that wasn’t enough to spring a last-ditch rally for Pooch.

The second half of Sunday’s two-hour episode unveiled a new twist called “Festie Bestie,” meaning the houseguests will operate as seven duos for a portion of the game.

If a houseguest wins Head of Household, their partner is also safe that week. In addition, the duos are nominated for eviction together and both removed from the block if the veto is used on them.

Matthew Turner, who goes by Turner, won the Head of Household competition. Turner was probably closest to Pooch in the house, and he was the last one to be clued in that Pooch was getting voted out.

“Going into this HOH competition, I’m doing this for Pooch, and I’m doing this for power to secure my safety,” Turner said.

Turner decided to nominate the duo of Brittany Hoopes and Michael Bruner, but with the veto having the potential to remove both nominees, a lot could change before Thursday’s eviction.

The scholarships are a first for non-academic students and the sum is a record for The Rotary Club of Boca Raton. The money will impact 35 students. For the 20222023 academic year, the Club is providing 12, $7,000 scholarships to students in the trades: HVAC Technology, Automotive Mechanics and Marine Services Technology. The Club also approved eight paramedic scholarships at $7,000 per award to student who have completed the EMT/firefighter curriculum at PBSC. Beyond tuition, scholarships in all trade programs include professional quality tools, exams and certifications for students who meet the criteria by achieving required grades and submit an essay describing their passion for their chosen field and dedication to personal excellence.

“This is starting over; thank you for believing in me,” said EMS student Lindsay Barron, speaking for her fellow scholarship recipients at the presentation in the EMS training lab on the main college campus in Lake Worth. “I have three children and a special needs son.”

“Your story is important. You need to

know how you are going to make a difference,” said Club scholarship chair and a PBSC foundation board member Pia Giannone.

“What really struck me was ‘Service Above Self ’,” said David A. Rutherford, CEO of The Foundation for Palm Beach State College, citing Rotary International’s motto. “Our president embodies that, and your occupations embody the same t h i n g.” P B S C foundation sponsored the check presentation, reception, tour of the Public Safety Complex.

“There are so many things you could do with your resources, we’re honored,” said Ava L. Parker, Palm Beach State College president. Her husband Joe Gibbons is a Rotary member and a Paul Harris Fellow in the international service organization. “Eighty percent of our students stay right here in Palm Beach County,” Parker noted. “It made me feel like Santa Claus to give these scholarships.”

“In 10 years, I want you to be leaders; we are thrilled to be part of making this happen,” said Club president-elect Gerry Purdy.

CommUNITY Champions Practicing What They Preach The spiritual works of compassion/ mercy – especially teaching the faith and putting up with the annoyances of others – are very important.

But it is about time that more leaders of our local houses of worship examine their conscience to see if they are practicing the things they preach.

While visiting a local park recently, I went over to speak with a man and woman seated on a bench.

I soon learned that they were homeless and that parishioners from Cason United Methodist Church, under the leadership of the Rev. Alexis Talbott, had just dropped off their freshly-washed clothes, a weekly ritual of the members of the Delray Beach church.

We had a long conversation during which I learned a lot about the life journeys of both.

Only a few weeks later while driving through the neighborhood, I noticed Live Fresh, a 29.5 foot-long mobile shower, in use on a vacant lot.

There, several members of Cason and St. Matthews Episcopal Church were on hand volunteering their time.

The air-conditioned trailer, which has private showers and changing area combination rooms, stops at the lot each Friday to help and restore dignity to the county’s homeless.

Cason, St. Matthews and neighboring Resurrection Life Fellowship became the new sites for a soup kitchen after the city ended a 20-year agreement with the Caring Kitchen, which served hot meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner at a city-owned building at 196 NW Eighth Ave. The city stopped officials with the Caring Kitchen after neighbors complained of public defecation, fights and people sleeping in yards near the cityowned building.

Now, this is not to say other churches are not doing great or remarkable things. However, most of them are doing it among themselves only.

I was further impressed when Cason provided transportation to KOP Mentoring Network after the transmission in the 20-year-old van died, leaving students stranded on the interstate while on their way to a class in West Palm Beach one night.

I reached out to several local churches to use their vans following the November incident and one agreed to transport them for $150 per trip. Another nodded yes. One issue: the van had no insurance although they had been transporting parishioners.

Rev. Talbott offered her van, which saved the year for the students. Each Thursday they travel to West Palm Beach where they are learning digital media at the Center for Creative Education.

As I was about to give in to despair, one of my peers quickly intervened. She encouraged me to join together and ask the Lord to raise up a generation of pastors who will lead this community with integrity, compassion, godly vision and

Christlike character.

I had the pleasure of meeting with Rev. Talbott shortly after she took over a few years ago and she shared her vision for the church and the community.

She has a big and bold vision for Cason, she loves the youth of the community and she has embraced this community.

Here is a leader who has been working in and outside the church to bring needed messages to the community, to bring hope and to make a change. Her commitment was birthed out of her love for God. In my humble opinion, Rev. Alexis Talbott is committed in her dedication to spiritual practices -daily acts of Scripture reading, instructing the ignorant, devotion, Christian meditation, community service and, of course, prayer.

We want to hear from you. If you know of a church that has been providing extraordinary service outside the church, please let us know.

POSITIVE LIVING By: Dr. Synesio Lyra

Drying One Another’s Tears Humans have been fashioned, and put into the world by the creator as social creatures. As such, they are not to live in isolation from one another, but to be mindful of their fellows, in good times and bad. Blessed are those who recognize this truth and fulfill what this reality demands!

There’s no question that caution requires that we don’t get involved too easily with anyone, for anything. Yet, there are enough individuals in any society who give enough indications of their reliability and who are also open to the courtesies and genuine love expressed to them, even by strangers! It’s most heart-warming to see reports on television of unique, tragic circumstances through which an individuJuly 29 - August 4, 2022

al or family may undergo, and to contemplate the outpouring of support in manifold ways, from countless persons who sympathize with the plight of another.

Several years ago I was attracted to a book on account of its title, “Tear Catchers.” By reading its compelling message I also learned it was the name of an organization, founded by the book’s author to provide a simple, yet most significant service.

The key idea was to be ready to befriend others going through sad moments and lending a shoulder to cry, a compassionate ear to listen, and eyes ever alert to the needs of others, because there’s always something one can

do to diminish misery, and personally (not intrusively) get involved in situations where tears can be dried up, and solutions found and provided to varied rough experiences faced by others.

I never forgot what impressed me greatly at some point during my childhood, when an organized group of people in the large city where I resided, took upon themselves to scan several of the daily newspapers, looking for families who had undergone some tragedy, or lost a loved one, or who were reported as experiencing some tough situation in life.

The amazing result of that communal project, was establishing immediate contact with the needy family, by phone or in person, to inquire from them more

www.bocaratontribune.com

fully regarding what could be done for them in their difficulty. That act itself, through the concern shown, were factors that right away diminished the pain being faced by an individual or family.

What started as an experiment in expressing, loving kindness, became an ongoing effort of communal compassion, until conditions improved and the help was no longer needed.

Such altruism still has a place in any society, for any city or town, regardless of its size, has countless persons daily shedding tears who will welcome those “tear catchers” or others who can take an interest in their condition and do whatever is within their power. And as you do unto others, it shall also be done unto you at your time of need!

The Destructive Power of Jealousy Jealousy. One dictionary definition of this term is, “feeling resentment against someone because of that person’s rivalry, success, or advantage, or against another’s success or advantage itself…a jealous feeling, disposition, state, or mood.” Is this something you have experienced?

Envy is a close cousin to jealousy, defined as “an emotion which occurs when a person lacks another’s superior quality, achievement, or possession and either desires it or wishes that the other lacked it.” Can you see any benefit from being jealous or envious of another person? We would be hard-pressed to find one, but these feelings and attitudes are common in the marketplace.

Years ago, I struggled with jealousy. As I watched a peer’s organization flourish, I found myself envious of his rapid success.

Even though I tried to ignore them, questions like, “Why is his organization doing better than mine?” or, “What does he have to offer that I don’t?” would arise in my mind.

Such thinking is unproductive, I realized, and if left unchecked can become destructive.

So, after some soul searching and prayer, I asked God to forgive me. This was partly because, intended or not, I was feeling resentful toward the Lord for not giving me the same measures of success and achievement.

My prayers of repentance also prompted me to ask my peer for his forgiveness.

The result? I felt as if a tremendous weight had been lifted from me, and was freed to enjoy my own level of success without comparing it to my peer, or anyone else.

It enabled me to focus on the admonition of Ecclesiastes 9:10, “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might…,” without looking over my shoulder to see how any-

www.bocaratontribune.com

one else was doing.

In its typical candor, we find many examples of jealousy in the Bible, individuals becoming resentful toward a brother, friend or rival that seemed to be valued or blessed more than they were. In Genesis, for example, we read about Joseph’s brothers becoming jealous of their father’s favoritism toward him, so they sold him into slavery.

The Israelites wrestled with this in a major way. In Numbers 11 we read about Joshua, Moses’ aide, hearing and complaining about other leaders suddenly prophesying as only Moses had done previously. We find the Israelite leader’s response in Numbers 11:29, “But Moses replied, ‘Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the Lord’s people were prophets and that the Lord would put his Spirit on them!’”

The apostle Paul quickly defused an issue of jealousy and quarreling in the ancient church in Corinth by putting things in the right perspective: “…one says, ‘I follow Paul,’ and another, ‘I follow Apollos’…. [We are] only servants, through whom you came to believe – as the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow…. For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building” (1 Corinthians 3:4-9).

Both Moses and Paul knew jealousy was fruitless. It is God’s job alone to determine which talents and opportunities each person should receive. Our job is to focus on how we use what we have been given. If we are faithful to that, rather than comparing our success to others, we will have the peace and joy the Lord intends for us to experience in our everyday work responsibilities.

Inflation Concerns Create Challenges for Back-ToSchool Drive GL Homes and Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County continues its backto-school drive with a strong push to increase donations, with the goal of collecting enough backpacks stuffed with school supplies for thousands of Club members in the community. With new economic pressures due to increasing inflation, Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County is facing an enormous challenge as it aims to collect enough backpacks and school supplies for the 2022-2023 school year.

“Our goal is to make sure that our Club families don’t have to worry about the expenses of brand new backpacks and school supplies and that every Club member is well-equipped for success in the classroom, said GL Homes Senior Director of Community Relations Sarah Alsofrom. “Due to the historic achievement gap and the inflation in the economy it’s important to have ample support for children in the community who need it most.”

The GL Homes and Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County Back To School Drive started June 1 and will run through August 1. Drop-off locations for backpacks and school supplies are located throughout Palm Beach County, including multiple Seacoast Bank branches, Starbucks stores and Palm Beach County Library System locations. Donations can also be made virtually at www.bgcpbc.org/btsdrive.

“Backpacks and school supplies are essential items for our Club members’ success in the classroom,” said President & CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County Jaene Miranda. “Without these necessary items, our Club members will not be able to overcome the achievement gap caused by the pandemic. We count on our community partners to help us in forwarding our mission to ensure all children meet their full potential.”

Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County continues to assist families who live below the poverty line, and it is critical that 2,400 stuffed backpacks are col-

lected to ensure that all Club members are prepared to achieve during the new school year. With the GL Homes and Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County Back To School Drive, thousands of children throughout Palm Beach County can enter the 2022-2023 school year with full confidence.

Drop-off locations open to the public can be found at this link https://bit. ly/3ys7ByH. Donations can also be made virtually by purchasing backpacks stuffed with needed school supplies for only $10 per backpack by visiting https://bgcpbc. org/btsdrive/.

How to Work Out Without Excuses (StatePoint) It’s all-too-common for those embarking on a regular exercise routine to skip a planned workout for one reason or another. Here are some of the most common excuses that people make not to exercise, along with some solutions to overcome these challenges: “I need low-impact exercises.” Many traditional workouts are tough on joints, which over time, can cause overuse injuries or exacerbate existing conditions. To achieve your fitness goals pain-free, consider low-impact exercises such as yoga, swimming and elliptical machines.

“I don’t have the space to work out at home.” Whether you live in a small apartment or just can’t dedicate too much space to a home gym, there’s good news. Certain manufacturers of exercise equipment have your back and are developing versatile, sleek fitness equipment to address your needs. At less than 23 pounds, the Cubii Total Body+ (available now for pre-order) is a good example of a compact machine offering a low-impact, approachable and achievable workout that targets everything from abs and arms to quads and calves. With a

low-impact motion, you can hit eight key muscle groups using one machine. Its elliptical component features 12 resistance levels that can be adjusted from your phone, and its resistance bands range from 2 to 7 pounds, allowing you, to tone, sculpt and strengthen your upper body, no matter what your fitness level is.

“I’m not seeing results.” If you’ve been working out for a little while and haven’t seen immediate results, don’t get discouraged. Whether your fitness goal centers around weight loss or getting toned, it’s

important to remember that little changes add up over time.

“I’m just not motivated.” If keeping the exercise spark alive is difficult, consider turning to tech. New apps that connect to your equipment via Bluetooth, like the Cubii App, can send you reminders to get moving, as well as help you track your goals.

They can also help you stay accountable by allowing you to connect with a fitness community and compete with friends, or join live and on-demand classes.

“I don’t have any time.” Between work,

family and other commitments, finding the time to hit the gym for an hour or more isn’t always possible. But practicing self-care and prioritizing your own health and wellness is essential. What you may not realize is that a high-quality workout doesn’t need to happen in a specific place or require a lot of time. In fact, some forms of exercise can occur while you’re working or watching TV. What’s more, even a short burst of activity is very beneficial to getting you strong, boosting your metabolism and energy, and improving your mood. That’s where a great versatile piece of equipment for the home or office can come into play.

For example, unlike a traditional standalone piece of fitness equipment, the Cubii Total Body+ is a 2-in-1 system that combines cardio with upper body strength training for a full-body workout you can do anytime, anywhere. To learn more about how to get active today, visit cubii.com.

Creating a new exercise habit can be an uphill struggle, especially if you are short on time, space or motivation. Luckily, new tools are emerging that can help you work out without excuses.

New Program Aims to Address Black Youth Drowning Crisis (StatePoint) While summer fun often includes visits to the beach, lake or pool, not every child is offered the same opportunities to learn to swim or gain confidence in the water. In fact, Black children in the United States are nearly six times more likely to die from drowning than white kids, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Advocates say that this unfortunate truth is directly related to decades of segregation and exclusion from public pools and beaches. A national program, “Making Waves” from Outdoor Afro, is working to change that legacy by making the water safer for Black children, aiming to impact 100,000 Black youth and their caregivers over the next 10 years.

“Making Waves” is a partnership with Outdoor Afro, the nation’s foremost not-for-profit organization celebrating and inspiring Black connections and leadership in nature and KEEN, the global footwear brand on a mission to make outside inclusive and accessible to all.

Participating Kids and their caregivers may sign up for scholarships for swimming lessons, known as Swimmerships, on Outdoor Afro’s website beginning this sumPlus

mer. Each Swimmership provides a new swimmer with a full swim course of 8-10 lessons. Swim lessons take place at local YMCAs and select community

pools. To learn more or to sign up for a Swimmership, visit outdoorafro.com.

Supporting the Movement Individuals can sponsor a swimmer

www.bocaratontribune.com

on Outdoor Afro’s website. $10 = a lesson, $100 = a Swimmership and $1,000 funds a full class of 10 new swimmers.

Additionally, they can support the growing movement through a new collection of KEEN x Outdoor Afro limited edition sandals. The collection, released in support of the program, is designed to raise awareness of this issue while raising funds for Swimmerships. The collection features artwork from Outdoor Afro volunteer leader, Leandra Taylor. Taylor has been an inspiration, teacher and friend to kids hungry to learn about the outdoor experience. Her art is incorporated into silhouettes for the whole family, including the Newport H2 for men, the Astoria West for women and the Newport H2 and Stingrays for kids.

“The statistics speak for themselves,” says Erik Burbank, vice president of The KEEN Effect, the team that leads the brand’s social justice efforts. “We’re proud to be supporting Outdoor Afro in this movement, and to help it continue to build momentum.”

The statistics are alar ming, but there is hope. Giving kids confidence in and around the water will save lives, reduce water-related injuries in every community, and help forge strong connections to the outdoors.

In the absence of public dollars for this growing and hidden population of children, Hearts & “Soles” was born to raise funding and to help others understand what it is to walk in the shoes of a Caregiving Youth. This year, the gala has adopted an opulent Western theme.

The AACY team believes that it takes a community to raise a child. In that spirit, Robin Bernstein of Palm Beach, who is a former Caregiving Youth as well as former US Ambassador to the Dominican Republic is the Honorary Chair.

This one-of-a-kind event will be Co-

Kaye Communications PR & Marketing Wins Ninth Bernays Award for PR Excellence: 2022 Best Special Event Capping off 25 years of making indelible impacts and imprints in South Florida for its clients, Kaye Communications (KCOM-PR) has won a coveted Gold Coast Public Relations Council (GCPRC) 2022 Bernays Award for PR Excellence for Best Special Event. The firm was recognized for its event ideation, strategy, production, community relations and media relations for the sold-out inaugural Moms & Pups “Bark & Brunch” ‘fun, fan and fund’ raiser to benefit Tri-County Animal Rescue’s “Together Fur-ever” Medical Fund.

Fund monies help to pay in full for or subsidize low-cost, full-service veterinary and animal hospital services at TCAR’s on-site state-of-the-art vet clinic for pet owners who are financially challenged or experiencing other economic crises.

This is KCOM-PR’s ninth Bernays Award, named for the father of Public Relations Edward Bernays.

Last year KCOM-PR was the only Palm Beach County entity to receive a 2021 Bernays Award; the firm won for the Best PR Campaign by a Small Company/Firm for its concepting and activating its “The New Way to Club” brand reinvention and repositioning campaign for Boca Lago Golf & Country Club.

GCPRC is the largest independent organization in South Florida of PR, marketing and communications professionals from Palm Beach, Broward, Martin and Dade counties.

Its prestigious Bernays Awards program serves as the “Regional Oscars” for the South Florida PR industry. The judges panel annually consists of journalists and former and current PR executives. To ensure impartiality, none are members of the GCPRC. “The stature of the others in the special event nomination category this year made the win so much more coveted,” shared KCOMPR Founder, President & Chief Strategist Bonnie S. Kaye.

Contenders were the City of Boynton Beach, Discover the Palm Beaches and the Cultural Council for Palm Beach County, Palm Beach Civic Association and Palm Tran public transportation system. “Their achievements too were stellar, so being on the slate with these public entities and then winning was even more gratifying.”

Special Event Focused Attention on Little Known COVID-19-Related Community Wellness Need With so many other COVID-19 nonprofit needs taking priority at the time for 15+ months with extensive media attention, TCAR needed to create a news-generating springboard fundraiser to amplify awareness of yet another vulnerable population. These were families of pets who were desperately in Community

need of vet care, but were financially forced to neglect care that could, if not treated, lead to unnecessary pain, death or even gut-wrenching pet surrenders.

Exceeding all its messaging, “fun, fan and fund” raising and awareness goals, the firsttime event helped heal and save the lives of the most vulnerable, generated zero surrenders of pets treated, and increased Medical Fund resources to serve 53 families. The event secured and engaged new donor and sponsorship relationships, laid the foundation for a formidable new branded annual TCAR fundraiser, and increased media coverage about TCAR, its non-rescue services at its Pet Clinic, its Medical Fund and how the nonprofit helps support the financially challenged within the community it serves.

KCOM-PR Delivers “The Perfect Afternoon for Dining ‘With and For’ Dogs” As COVID-19 gathering restrictions reduced, people were starting to look forward to getting out again within safe “feel good, do good” environments to socialize and support community needs. Within a rapid six-week timeframe and in strict adherence to CDC guidelines, KCOM-PR conceptualized, branded, introduced, promoted and produced the inaugural Moms & Pups “Bark & Brunch.”

Positioned as a news-generating kickoff for Mother’s Day week, more than 125 paw-loving advocates and dozens of pups enjoyed joyful open-air, courtyard brunch and themed festivities to celebrate pup rescue moms and raise funds. These included live music, free-flowing Bloody Mary and Bellini Bars, a doggie treat buffet, Mom & Pooch Photo Station, Mother’s Day boutique gift shopping, silent auction, “KARMA Luxury Weekend” Chance-to-Win, pampering swag bags with donated items from Saks Fifth Avenue, Green Roads CBD and Protect My Shoes, as well as pet grooming kits, purse table hangers and pairs of pup-themed socks.

High-profile Boca Raton Pup Rescue Moms Marta Batmasian, Andrea Kline and Constance Scott who have long advocated for TCAR were honored. A host committee of well-connected Boca residents was recruited to help share the event, mission and Chance to Win ticket sales with their closest circles. Pup Star Host terrier Tamar Batmasian welcomed guests. Reach out to sponsors and donors offered various levels of themed sponsor categories: “Paws Up” Red Carpet, “Pet Protector” (ADT), “Tail-wagging” Valet, Beau’s “Bark” Bars, “Pupolicious Décor” and annual Healing Clinic Kennel dedications.

Research from the Safety Net Hospital Alliance of Florida and the Florida Hospital Association estimates that Florida will be short 17,924 physicians by the year 2035.

More than a decade ago, Florida Atlantic University’s Schmidt College of Medicine and Baptist Health South Florida’s Bethesda Hospital and Boca Raton Regional Hospital, and Tenet Health’s Delray Medical Center, St. Mary’s Medical Center and West Boca Medical Center, signed an agreement to form the FAU Schmidt College of Medicine Graduate Medical Education Consortium (FAU GME). Their initial goal was to ensure that the region will have an adequate and welltrained physician workforce by establishing residency programs in specialties that would serve their communities.

The FAU GME has made great strides in helping to address Florida’s looming physician shortages through its five residency and four fellowship programs. More than 177 resident physicians and fellows go through these FAU programs each year. Since the inception of the first residency program in internal medicine in 2014, more than 199 physicians have graduated from these programs to practice specialties in internal medicine, surgery, emergency medicine, psychiatry, neurology, vascular surgery, cardiology, geriatric medicine, and hospice and palliative medicine in Florida and elsewhere. Approximately 50 percent of all graduates end up practicing in Florida.

FAU GME leaders recently met to strategize and outline the next phase for graduate medical education and residency programs in Palm Beach County, which they will launch in the fall. Medical residencies take between three to seven years to complete depending on the specialty, and are required as part of the training for medical school graduates to become board-certified physicians.

“We are excited to collaborate with our outstanding hospital partners on addressing key issues, challenges and opportunities related to graduate medical education,” said Julie Pilitsis, M.D., Ph.D., dean and vice president of medical affairs, FAU Schmidt College of Medicine. “Increasing residency positions is critical to ensuring that we attract and keep physicians here to address our state’s growing and aging population needs.

Our GME consortium is a key contributor to training and securing high quality physicians. Importantly, the consortium is essential to the success of our recently launched FAU Health Network – a true collaboration that brings together the region’s already robust health care infrastructure, to help save lives and cure diseases.”

Boca Raton Regional Hospital is the primary site for FAU’s first university-sponsored residency in internal medicine with participation from Bethesda Hospital and Delray Medical Center. The general surgery training

program is based at Boca Raton Regional Hospital, as well as Bethesda Hospital, Delray Medical Center, St. Mary’s Medical Center and West Boca Medical Center. The emergency medicine residency training program is based at Bethesda Hospital, St. Mary’s Medical Center and Delray Medical Center. Delray Medical Center is the primary site for FAU’s university-sponsored residency in psychiatry with participation from South County Mental Health Center, Jewish Family Services, and Boca Raton Regional Hospital. FAU’s neurology residency program is based at Boca Raton Regional Hospital. Neurology residents also have the opportunity to be involved in basic neuroscience research at FAU and work with leading clinicians at the Boca Raton Regional Hospital Marcus Neuroscience Institute.

“Our inaugural residency program in internal medicine – a first for the cities of Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Boynton Beach – marked a very important milestone in bringing additional, well-trained physicians into these communities to enhance health care delivery in this region,” said Lincoln Mendez, CEO of Boca Raton Regional Hospital.

“Now, we are focused on the future of the GME consortium to continue our efforts on mitigating physician and other health care shortages to address critical workforce needs in this region and throughout our state.”

In 2020, the Kaiser Family Foundation ranked states based on the number of communities that face health professional shortages. Florida is ranked No. 5. At the top of the list is California, followed by Texas, Missouri and Alaska. According to the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration, 279 communities in Florida have shortages of medical professionals in primary medicine, dental care and mental health.

“Together with our GME consortium partners, we will help to ensure that we bring the latest academic and research programs to our area to train the next generation of physicians who will help to improve quality of life, contribute to lifesaving research and provide exceptional care for patients of all walks of life including the most vulnerable members of our community,” said Daniel Listi, CEO of Delray Medical Center.

FAU’s residency and fellowship programs are spearheaded by Curtis Whitehair, M.D., associate dean for graduate medical education, designated institutional official and interim chair of the Clinical Neurosciences Department in the Schmidt College of Medicine.

“We are committed to building premier academic medical programs to attract the best and brightest physicians to South Florida who in turn will become leaders in their fields and specialties,” said Whitehair. “Collectively, with our consortium partners, we are helping to elevate the level of care for all patients.”

MNM Theatre Company’s 2022 – 2023 Season Promises Entertainment for Everyone!

The Company will perform at The Willow Theatre & The Kravis Center Palm Beach County, FL – Have theatre, will travel! MNM Theatre Company will perform in two Palm Beach County venues during the 2022-2023 season.

The award-winning company’s first production of the season, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, will run at the Willow Theatre in Sugar Sand Park in Boca Raton, and Disenchanted will have its South Florida premiere in the Rinker Playhouse at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach. A third production, scheduled to run at the Willow Theatre in April 2023 will be announced within the next few weeks.

“We are very excited about our upcoming season,” says MNM Theatre Company’s Producing Artistic Director and CEO, Marcie Gorman. “The shows we have chosen are fun, funny, and very clever, and we know they will appeal to audiences of all ages. And our new venue, the Willow Theatre, is a lovely space – intimate and inviting, and we are looking forward to bringing MNM to a brandnew South County audience. And we’re so pleased to be heading back to the Kravis Center as well.”

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, the Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning musical that has charmed

audiences across the country, features an eclectic group of six mid-pubescents as they vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through

a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake.

Six spellers enter – one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box. The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee will run at the Willow Theatre from December 2nd – 18th.

Disenchanted will make its South Florida debut at the Kravis Center from May 9th – 28th, 2023: “Poisoned apples. Glass slippers. Who needs ’em?! Not Snow White

and her posse of disenchanted princesses in this ‘musical comedy for grownups’ that’s anything but Grimm. Forget the princesses you think you know. These royal renegades will toss off their tiaras to bring their hilariously subversive, not-for-the-kiddies musical to the Rinker Playhouse – and fairy tales will never be the same!”

All three 2022-2023 MNM Theatre Company productions will be directed by Jonathan Van Dyke.

The ABCA/Rawlings All-America Teams are the nation’s oldest, founded in 1949, and the ABCA’s awards program also includes the ABCA/ Rawlings All-Region Awards, the ABCA/ ATEC Regional & National Coaches of the Year and several other major awards such as the ABCA Hall of Fame and the Dave Keilitz Ethics in Coaching Award.

Newman Hired as FAU Pitching Coach FAU head softball coach Jordan Clark has announced the hiring of Nicole Newman as pitching coach. Newman comes to Paradise after one year on the Creighton staff and two years on the Minnesota staff, which followed a decorated pitching career at Drake.

“Nicole had an amazing career in the circle and still holds many records to this day,” Clark said. “But there is no doubt that Nicole’s impact for the next g eneration of pitchers is what I’m the most excited about.

She brings a calming presence and an extensive knowledge of how she plans to develop pitchers at an elite level. Nicole comes highly recommended from some of the best pitching minds in the game. I am thankful she chose to join our staff.”

Before switching over to the coaching ranks, Newman was a 2019 NFCA First Team All-America honoree for Drake, the first NFCA First-Team All-American for the Bulldogs in program history. A dominant force in the circle, Newman recorded some eye-popping statistics. In her senior season, Newman set the NCAA Division I record with five perfect games, which still stands today, and led

the nation in strikeouts (423), while ranking third in the nation in ERA (1.07). For her career, Newman pitched to a 93-33 record with a 1.72 ERA and 1,223 strikeouts in 787.2 innings pitched. She still holds career records at Drake for both wins and strikeouts.

“I am beyond grateful for this opportunity, and I am excited to be a part of Jordan Clark’s staff,” Newman said. “I love the vision she has for this program, and I know she will do an excellent job leading. Coach Joan Joyce was one of the greatest pitchers and pitching minds in the game. I am honored, and I am looking forward to building on past traditions and success as we follow in the footsteps of one of the legends in our sport. I love that I am going to be surrounded by so many amazing people and ambitious young women. I cannot wait to keep building something special with this program in Paradise!”

During her time as a graduate manager at Minnesota, Newman was part of a staff that led the Golden Gophers to a 31-13 mark in 2021. The Golden Gophers ranked 26th in the nation with a 2.06 team ERA in the 2021 season.
