Former Boca Raton Mayor Passes PBSC and Skidmore partnership Away at 77 help make clothing drive a success Susan Slade Whelchel, 77, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on August 5, 2022 after battling Alzheimer’s Disease. She was born the youngest daughter on August 13, 1944 to Flora and Tom Slade in Baxley, Georgia. Her siblings (predeceased) were Tom Slade, Joanne Sawyer, and Flo O’Brien. She soon moved to Starke, Florida where she graduated from Bradford County High School. She graduated from Jacksonville University with a degree in political science and did post graduate work at Florida Atlantic University and Nova Southeastern University. While in Jacksonville, she met her husband, John Whelchel and married in 1968. They started their family in Sanford, Florida and ultimately relocated to Boca Raton, Florida in 1978. Susan was a strong believer in education. She enjoyed a 30-year teaching career which culminated at Boca Raton High S ch o o l . S u san was heavily involved in the Boca Raton community though nonprofits and other organizations. One that was very near and dear to her heart was the Junior League of Boca Raton where she was named Woman Volunteer of the year in 2016. Her Jr. League service and love of the community lead her into Boca Raton politics which began in 1995. Susan was elected to the Boca Raton City Council and served three terms where she served as Deputy Mayor and was Vice-Chairman of the Community Redevelopment Agency. Susan was appointed by then, Governor Jeb Bush, to a two-year term on the Palm Beach County School Board, where she served with distinction and successfully enabled a renewed focus and commitment to our local schools. Susan was most proud of her work in helping to establish Don Estridge Middle School, a high-tech choice public school. Susan was elected the Mayor of Boca Raton in 2008 and was re-elected and served a second term. Being term limited, Susan retired from politics in 2014. One of Susan’s trademark initiatives was to create a world class community. She had a vision to bring quality education, excellent medical facilities, higher learning opportunities, adequate recreational facilities, public parks and nature centers to the city. She helped Boca achieve its goal in 2015 when Boca Raton was named the 11th best August 12 - August 18, 2022

city in the country. Susan was an active and dedicated volunteer for over 30 years. In addition to her public service, Susan spent thousands of hours volunteering in over 30 volunteer organizations. Susan put Jesus and family first. She was a long-time member and leader at Grace Community Church. She served as a deacon and elder and served on various committees within the church. Like her sisters, Joanne and Flora, she believed life was an amazing journey and participated passionately in everything that held her interest. As a child she was an amazing water skier and had a love of horses. She was a member Delta Delta Delta sorority at Jacksonville University. She was a competitive tennis player at Boca Del Mar, Boca Bath and Tennis, and Royal Palm Country Club. She loved books, learning, had a love for dogs, was a marathon bridg e player, enjoyed her investment “Blush Group”, and played golf to keep in line with her husband, John’s passion. She e n j oy e d e n tertaining and h o s t i n g nu merous parties. You could always count on Susan to be the first and the last one on the dance floor. She was an involved and tenacious mother, loving grandmother, devoted daughter and wife. She adored her 4 children and 10 grandchildren and always insisted on yearly family vacations, matching PJ’s on Christmas Eve, and balloons at every birthday party. Susan is survived by her loving husband of 52 years, John, her four children, Joanne Jackson and her husband Tracey, Jay Whelchel and his wife Melissa, her son Matthew Whelchel and his wife Kimmie, her daughter Kristy Hatofilis and her husband Nick, her grandchildren Haley, Davis, Makayla, Mary, Jack, Maddie, Vivi, Nick, Mira, 10 nieces and nephews and an abundance of very special friends.

Counting their Blessings She lost her mother, sister, and brother when their house collapsed from the massive 7.0 magnitude earthquake that rocked Haiti on Jan. 12, 2010. Jude Saincyr and her cousin, the only survivors in their home, were stuck under a bed, which shielded them from the rubble. “The bricks fell on the bed and one side of the bed broke,” Saincyr, a graduating senior at Atlantic High School, recalled this week. “We were under the other side until they found us about four hours later.” As we enter the season of giving, Saincyr has so much for which to be grateful: a new lease on life and the opportunity to get a college education, thanks to a local nonproﬁt organization. After the disaster, her father sent her to Tallahassee, but the teenager did not attend school for a year. It was not until she came to live with her grandparents in Delray Beach and enrolled in high school that a teacher introduced her to Bound for College, an organization that helps at-risk students in south Palm Beach County enter and complete college. That opportunity was priceless, she said, adding that the organization, formerly known as Delray Students First, prepared her through

practice to get better scores on the SAT and ACT tests. “They made me a better test taker through lots of practice every week,” said Saincyr, who plans to pursue her nursing degree at Florida Atlantic University in the Fall. “We don’t get our motivations unless there is someone there to motivate you. We don’t know what we want unless someone tells us about it.” Like Saincyr, a handful of students who were enrolled in Bound for College, shared their stories to a roomful of people at Delray Marketplace. They are grateful for the life skills, career planning, mental health counseling, college tours and educational ﬁeld trips that the program provides. “Our motivation doesn’t come from home but from teachers. Teachers were a big impact in my life. They motivated me to do so much,” said Hadelle Estimphile, an Atlantic High alum and now a sophomore at FAU. College was not in her reach for various reasons, she said, until she was introduced to Bound for College. “I didn’t know how I was going to pay for college, but they helped me with my essays and helped me improve my SAT and ACT scores,

so I could get 75 percent Bright Future Scholarship. Now, I don’t have to worry about money.” Through the afﬁliation, the students were awarded the prestigious Eda and Cliff Viner Community Scholarship, a four-year award to a state university or college for academically deserving students in Boca Raton and Delray Beach who have ﬁnancial needs and are community service driven. Despite last year’s challenges, many of us are still thankful, and although we have the chance for a more normal Thanksgiving this year, many, such as Anna Marie Valdez, will still connect virtually. The mother of three, who lost a sister, a neighbor and a brother-in-law to COVID-19, has not mustered the courage to venture out. “I am still not comfortable getting around crowds and I can’t say if and when I will be,” she said. Upon returning to school, Aiden hit the jackpot when his elementary school teacher handpicked him to be in Star Makers, a STEMcentered afterschool program on campus. “We have a lot of fun,” said Aiden, who is thankful for being back in school after being cooped up in his home. “We learn about air-

planes, and we learn how to take pictures and how to wash clothes and cook.” Samuel is grateful for loving parents. “I’m most thankful for my family and that they love me, and they take care of me every time I need care, or when I need help with homework,” the fourth grader at Orchard View Elementary said. “Some other kids might get money, but I get love. Some kids may get gifts, but I get hugs.” Like many of you, I am grateful for so many things: the essential workers - doctors, nurses and other medical workers who have braved the virus to attend to patients in nursing homes, hospitals and clinics, and saved many lives - law enforcement and ﬁre personnel, postal employees, delivery workers and those who work at supermarkets, pet stores and pharmacies, farms and processing plants, factories and distribution centers. Let’s not forget the teachers, custodians, and sanitation workers. Finally, I’m thankful for this opportunity to opine on the important issues of the day – exhorting, explaining, deploring and applauding. I am also grateful for you, our readers who have continued to support this newspaper, since our inception.

POSITIVE LIVING By: Dr. Synesio Lyra

Delay Judgment and Live More Joyfully! The unfortunate tendency of so many people, is in not withholding judgment but, rather, jumping into conclusions, rushing into condemnation, either of people or situations, long before all the facts are in. Awareness of this longstanding human proclivity may be among the reasons which led Baal Shem Tov, the founder of Hasidic Judaism in the mid 18th century, to warn, “Let us fall into the hands of the Lord but let us not into the hands of man.” Indeed, God is the only One who can judge accurately any individual with the right judgment. Many years ago I found a plaque with an interesting inscription. It said: “It is better to be silent and be thought a fool than to speak August 12 - August 18, 2022

up and remove all doubt.” How sadly true it is that so many are too quick in making pronouncements long before they know an issue sufficiently, or have all the necessary data for their conclusions. My advice to such persons is, when you jump into something with both feet, be sure one foot doesn’t go into your mouth! And yet, such is the picture presented by anyone who is too swift in reaching a premature verdict! If you look for faults in others, you shall surely find them. Likewise, if you search for good in others, it will be there as well. Blaming others for your own sloth or stupidity will never solve any problem; instead, it may ignite a flame where no fire was previously existent. No relationship between two persons will

ever develop or thrive if it is used as a platform to vent the anger and frustration of one individual, on account of unfounded suspicions, and a premature judgmental spirit. People who believe themselves as always right, will never attract nor develop long-lasting relationships; their impact is minimal or nil! If you so readily question something somebody else says or does, it’s only fair that you also doubt your own conclusions! Any negative emotions you choose to carry, such as grudges, resentments, an unforgiving spirit, will adversely affect your human relationships, poisoning the stream ﬂowing toward others. You can never justify doing anything wrong just because you do many other things right! It’s imperative you erase your sus-

www.bocaratontribune.com

picions quickly once you find them to be baseless! Don’t insist on promoting discord! In times of difficulty, or in days of relative peace, you’d better get out of your selves, away from mediocre solutions, giving no heed to easy, negative prescriptions. In this life one will always need to work hard at making things better, because by nature they tend to go the wrong way, bringing damage to many! Attempt diligently to fulfill reasonable expectations, and strive to be the mature individual you can gradually become! Most of the impediments on the road of life are of your own creation. As such, you can also undo them, and provide positive outlets and meaningful pathways leading you to better destinations which are possible for you to attain!

Around Palm Beach County with Mayor Weinroth - On Aug. 2, 2022, Mayor Weinroth joined the county’s emergency management team to discuss hurricane preparedness with residents of Hunters Run in Boynton Beach. The team also included volunteer members of their Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) who play significant roles in their communities during an emergency. CERT volunteers receive training in fire safety, light search and rescue and disaster medical operations. With this training, they help first responders in providing immediate assistance to victims and organize volunteers at disaster sites. Disasters can strike anywhere and anytime, and CERT volunteers receive basic safety and disaster skills training that can make the difference between life and death. - On Aug. 2, 2022, Mayor Weinroth spoke to members of the Federation of Boca Raton Homeowners Association at the Boca Raton Community Center. The mayor provided an update on numerous county issues including the 2023 proposed budget challenges and initiatives addressing the affordable and workforce housing crisis. He also provided an update on a number of local road projects including intersection, paving and safety improvements. The federation was created to represent and serve as the community voice for homeowners in Boca Raton and actively participates in local government issues. - On July 30, 2022, Mayor Weinroth attended the annual Back to School Bash at Village Academy in Delray Beach and the Convention Center in West Palm Beach. These events are held countywide and coordinated by the county’s Community Revitalization team in collaboration with 60 local nonprofit agencies, donors, sponsors and vendors. More than 400 volunteers worked with these agencies in providing over 4,000 local children with school supplies, clothing and sneakers in preparation of the upcoming school year. Kudos to everyone for such a successful and important event! - Joined by fellow county commissioners, Mayor Weinroth recently attended the 2022 National Association of Counties (NACo) Annual Conference in Adams County, Colorado. NACo unites over 40,000 county officials nationwide in advocating priorities in conjunction with federal policymaking. The conference featured

What Is Holding You Back? Occasionally someone will call to talk with me about struggles in their business that puzzle them. They have a good product, possess skills needed for their business, and feel called to what they are doing, but cannot seem to prosper. They are managing to survive but have found themselves unable to thrive. Because I have been there in my own business experience, I can point them in a direction that might feel uncomfortable, like looking in the mirror. Many businesses have the necessary ingredients for success, but something continues to hold them back. Sometimes it is fear, reluctance to take calculated risks necessary for further growth and development. Other times it is a lack of selfconfidence, or listening to the echoes of discouraging, even demeaning words they have heard in the past. Negative self-talk can be a formidable foe in trying to build a business. However, I think it would be safe to say that every person who has ever achieved success – whether as an inventor, innovator, visionary, or leader in any sphere – has had to overcome both fear and memories of past failures. We have the classic examples of the Wright brothers, often ridiculed for their idea that it would be possible for humans to fly, and Thomas Edison, whose success inventing the incandescent bulb came only after failing hundreds of times. If they had listened to their detractors, or lost confidence because of past failures, they would have stopped dead in their tracks. Just as trying to drive a car by staring in the rearview mirror, continually looking backward in life can severely affect our ability to move forward. Jesus Christ was speaking to

www.bocaratontribune.com

some of His followers about the importance of single-minded commitment to following Him. He said, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is ﬁt for service in the kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62). It is hard to keep to a straight path if we are constantly looking to see what is behind us. So, how can we turn what we know to be a good product, along with the skills we possess and our passion for what we are doing, into success? I think another passage from the Bible gives us the answer. Romans 12:2 offers this prescription, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.” The world around us is very eager to tell us that we cannot succeed, that what we are trying to do is foolish and doomed to failure. We might carry with us memories dating back to our childhood, memories of harsh, meanspirited declarations that convinced us that our hopes and dreams would always be unattainable, forever beyond our reach. Don’t wallow in your past. We need to dispose of such mental “garbage.” And the best way for doing this is to ask God to help in renewing your mind, enabling you instead to line up with how He sees your potential. Focus on what He says about you and what He desires to do, both in you and for you. Writing about many adversities he had to overcome, the apostle Paul stated, “I can do everything through [Christ] who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13). He also wrote, “And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). If you believe the Lord has called you to a particular enterprise or cause, trust Him to provide what you need to succeed.

PBA Hires AVP for Construction and Design

Boynton Beach to Flush Water Lines with Chlorine The City of Boynton Beach will temporarily modify the disinfection process utilized to treat its drinking water from Wednesday, August 17 through Tuesday, September 6, 2022. Customers may notice a slight chlorine taste, or odor, in their tap water. These temporary conditions will not cause adverse health effects. Those sensitive to the taste, or odor, of chlorine, can place an open container of drinking water in the refrigerator for a few hours to allow the chlorine to dissipate.

The University has hired Curt Brown as assistant vice president for construction & design. In that role, he will oversee upcoming building projects. Brown comes to PBA with 30 years of experience in the field. He spent most of his career overseeing real estate and construction for Enterprise Holdings in multiple East Coast markets. Most recently, he served as Sixt Rent A Car’s executive director of construction and design for U.S.

Users of home dialysis machines, owners of tropical fish and managers of stores, and restaurants with fish and shellfish holding tanks are advised to seek professional advice as the method for removing chlorine residuals differs from removing chloramine residuals from tap water. This is a preventative maintenance process in order to maintain the City’s high standard of clean water distribution. Please call 561-742-6964 for further information or visit the City’s website.

operations. Brown graduated from PBA in 1992 with a degree in business management. He is on the board of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). His wife, Denise, is a PBA and Supper Honors alumna. They have three sons, Devon, Brady and Jared, who is a student-athlete on the Sailfish men’s soccer team. The family attends Life Church-Wellington and lives in Royal Palm Beach.

Treatment for Severe COPD Helping Some Patients Breathe Better (StatePoint) More than 3 million Americans live with severe emphysema, a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that makes breathing difficult. While there’s no cure, recent advances in treatments are helping some patients breathe better. The American Lung Association’s Treating Severe COPD Educational Campaign encourages people with severe emphysema to speak to their healthcare provider about their options, which may include endobronchial valve (EBV) treatment. As part of the campaign, they’re sharing these important facts: What is EBV treatment? When someone has emphysema, their lungs stop working effectively and air gets trapped inside their lungs instead of leaving when they exhale. With no room for fresh, oxygenated air, the person becomes short of breath. The trapped air causes that section of the lung to enlarge, putting pressure on the healthier parts of the lung and diaphragm. This is called hyperinflation. EBV treatment is a safe, FDA-approved interventional therapy in which small, removable, one-way valves are implanted in strategic

areas. They allow air to be breathed out of that area of the lung, preventing air-trapping that can result in shortness of breath. When should I consider EBV? As emphysema progresses, some medications that worked well may stop controlling symptoms. If neither medication nor oxygen is controlling symptoms well, major surgery like lung volume reduction or a lung transplant had traditionally been the next and last resort. With some individuals, EBV can fill the treatment gap between medication and surgery. You may be a candidate if you have ad-

vanced emphysema and are highly symptomatic despite receiving optimal medical treatment. You also need to be non-smoking or willing to quit. If you’re currently smoking, the American Lung Association’s Freedom From Smoking program can help you quit. What are EBV’s benefits? While recovery will depend on factors like overall health and the severity of COPD, the goal of EBV is to breathe easier without the necessary recovery from a surgical treatment. EBV treatment may improve lung function, increase your exercise capacity, and improve your quality of life. Most patients who’ve received the treatment report feeling better and say they’re now able to be more active. Complications of the EBV treatment can include but are not limited to pneumothorax, worsening of COPD symptoms, hemoptysis, pneumonia, dyspnea and, in rare cases, death. Talk with your physician about other contraindications, warnings, precautions, and adverse events. Only a trained physician can decide whether you’re an appropriate candidate for EBV treatment. “Before my treatment, I would take a few steps and then wait to catch my breath.

Now, every day I find I can do something I couldn’t before,” says Susan Scott, an Ohio resident who was diagnosed with COPD years ago and was experiencing worsening symptoms before getting the procedure. “My boyfriend and I hope to travel. I have a son in California and we’re going to go visit him soon. Being able to do that is everything to me. I also can’t wait to start cooking and leash training my dog.” What to ask your healthcare provider. Because EBV treatments are relatively new, not all healthcare providers are knowledgeable about the procedure. Speak with your provider to see if it’s right for you. Keep in mind that you may have to advocate for yourself or seek a second opinion. “My pulmonary clinic didn’t have a lot of information regarding EBVs. If my doctor knew more about it, she might have recommended it to me. I was the one who kept pushing it,” says Scott. If you have emphysema or severe COPD, you can find resources as well as learn more about EBV by visiting lung.org/copd. Take time to learn about treatment options. Doing so is for many, the first step to breathing easier.

5 Ways to Support Ukraine (StatePoint) When news of the invasion of Ukraine broke in February, many Americans wondered how they could help relief efforts. Across the country, individuals and communities sprang into action. Knowing immediately she needed to get involved, Christiana Gorchynsky Trapani, owner of Door County Candle Company and granddaughter of Ukrainian immigrants, began donating 100% of profits from her company’s Ukraine candles to relief efforts. She expected to sell only a few hundred candles, but within two weeks the company sold over 20,000 – more candles than it typically sells in a year. To date, the company has sold over 70,000 Ukraine candles totaling $700,000 in donations and counting. To assist with the overwhelming response, neighbors and other volunteers have been pitching in to prepare the candles. But, Door County Candle Company isn’t stopping there. The company has set a “Light to Unite” donation goal of $1 million by Ukraine’s Independence Day on Aug. 24, 2022, and is extending its donation contributions to include $5 from every online sale of its 16-ounce traditional yellow Lemongrass and blue Lakeshore candles -- the official colors of Ukraine, in addition to continuing to donate 100% of profits from the Ukraine candle. To orPlus

der a candle and support relief efforts in Ukraine, visit doorcountycandle.com. Gorchynsky Trapani is also offering five additional ideas for getting involved: 1. Donate: Donate to organizations directly benefitting Ukrainians. One to consider is Razom for Ukraine, which is providing medical and communication supplies to the regions that need it most, evacuating vulnerable populations to safer regions of the country, and advocating internationally for the nation’s future. Proceeds from Door County Candle Company’s Ukraine

candle and Lakeshore and Lemongrass candles go to Razom. To learn more, visit razomforukraine.org. Donations can also be made to Sunflower of Peace, which is distributing first-aid backpacks, medicine, medical instruments and other means of survival in the areas affected by violence. Visit sunflowerofpeace.com to learn more about their efforts. 2. Take action: Voice your support for Ukraine by contacting your congressional representatives and by taking part in peaceful demonstrations and rallies.

www.bocaratontribune.com

3. Tweet and share: Sign petitions demanding peaceful solutions in the region and share them on social. Visit codepink. org and globalcitizen.org to learn more and to show your support. 4. Reserve an Airbnb in Ukraine: The idea is not to vacation in the country, but to deliver needed cash to citizens during wartime. Many hosts have lost their income, and at the same time, are allowing other Ukrainian refugees to stay in their properties for free. As of March 4, 61,000 nights were booked by users worldwide for a total of $2 million. If you’re an Airbnb host yourself, you can also consider signing up to offer free temporary stays to refugees. Visit airbnb.org/help-ukraine to learn more. 5. Celebrate Ukrainian culture: Ukrainian Independence Day will have an even deeper significance this year. The event is typically celebrated with festivals across the United States presenting traditional dress, dances and popular cuisine. This year, it will be an opportunity to demonstrate love and support, connect with Ukrainian neighbors and refugees, and learn about the country. You can also fly the Ukrainian flag to demonstrate your support, as well as learn more about its meaning: the top blue band symbolizes the sky and the bottom yellow band symbolizes wheat fields.

Award-Winning Professor Nurtures Students’ Writing Gifts When English Professor David Athey was named winner of the Charles & Hazel Corts Award for Outstanding Teaching, his students praised him for his unconditional support and genuine interest. They complimented him for critiquing their work with the ultimate respect and “promoting the love of literature in an organic way.” He founded the Living Waters Review, PBA’s literary journal, which he continues to advise. Read more about how Athey has cultivated a culture where creative writing thrives in the Q&A that follows. What led you to teach at PBA? In the late 90s, I was an artist in residence at the Dreyfoos School of the Arts (in West Palm Beach) and then a language arts teacher there. In 2003, I began teaching at PBA. What led you to found Living Waters? There has always been a wonderful group of talented writers and artists at PBA, and I founded Living Waters Review to help showcase the best of that creativity. Student Literature Night had already been happening as an open-mic poetry reading, but I tried to make it a more wide-ranging event, including fiction writers, essayists, and singer-songwriters. Some of the performers have included Mike Donehey (of Tenth Avenue North) and Zach Williams (of The Lone Bellow). How have you seen Student Literature Night and Living Waters Review grow and improve since you started? I love this question! Every year, I’d

Boca Helping Hands and FAU to Center for Holocaust and Host a Tackle Hunger Cereal Drive Human Rights Education Honors During Hunger Action Month Educators Boca Helping Hands (BHH), in collaboration with Florida Atlantic University (FAU) Athletics and Cereal4All, for the second year running, will commemorate September’s Hunger Action Month by hosting a Tackle Hunger Cereal Drive during the FAU vs. Southeastern Louisiana football game. The game will take place on Saturday, Sept. 10 at 6:00 pm at the FAU Stadium, 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton, FL 33431. Those who donate one or more cereal boxes will get into the game for free. Unopened cereal boxes can be dropped at the stadium (Gate 1) on game day. “This is a great way to see your favorite football team play while helping to fight hunger in our community,” said Greg Hazle, Executive Director of Boca Helping Hands. “Cereal is one of the least donated items to food banks across the country, which means underserved kids and families do not always get to start their day with

a nutritious breakfast.” Cereal4All was started by twin brothers Jett and Luke Justin of Boca Raton, now 14 years old. After volunteering at Boca Helping Hands (BHH) with their parents, Jett and Luke organized their first cereal drive for BHH at their school in 2016 when they were just eight years old. The boys have since expanded the program to more than 15 schools in the area. “We want to live in a world where every kid and family has daily access to breakfast food in their home,” Luke Justin said. “We want to be part of the fight against food insecurity.” To learn more, visit BocaHelpingHands.org/TackleHunger. For more ways to get involved during Hunger Action Month, visit BocaHelpingHands.org/ HungerActionMonth to explore volunteer opportunities, food drives, fundraisers, and educational information.

FAU Names New Dean of Charles E. Schmidt College of Science Florida Atlantic University has announced Valery Forbes, Ph.D., as its new dean of the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, effective Aug. 10. Forbes will spearhead FAU’s second largest college, which has a student body of more than 8,500, and education and research programs in biological sciences, chemistr y and biochemistry, environmental science, exercise science and health promotion, g eosciences, marine science and oceanography, mathematics, neuroscience, physics, psycholog y, and urban and regional planning. Forbes brings more than 25 years of experience as a robust, enterprising researcher and academic leader with international experience that pairs well with FAU’s already thriving scientific community. As the former dean of the College of Biological Sciences at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, Forbes oversaw a $100 million budget, secured partnerships with government and industry, grew enrollments while maintaining high admissions standards, and launched a Dean’s Undergraduate Research Program. She also successfully advocated for UMN to join the University of California Partnership for Faculty Diversity, a pipeline program to attract high quality and diverse postdocs and facilitate their transition to become tenure-track faculty. “The university is incredibly proud to welcome such an accomplished leader like Valery,” said Michele Hawkins, Ph.D., interim FAU provost and vice president for academic affairs. “We look forward to seeing how she will build on the existing strengths of the college.” In her role as dean at UMN, Forbes led major capital projects, including the development of a $110 million biomanufacturing innovation center at UMN to grow the college’s footprint in biotechnology and provide a new revenue stream for the college. As part of UMN’s most recent philanthropic campaign, she exceeded her college’s fundraising goal one year ahead of schedule with major success in raising funds for student scholarships. “As one of the largest colleges at FAU, it is essential that we not only have strong researchers, but that we have research leaders who want to create synergistic partnerships across FAU and beyond,” Forbes said. “As the dean, I plan to help faculty attract larger, multi-partner grants and projects, reduce administrative barriers for fac-

ulty to lead major collaborative research efforts, institute seed funding and provide increased opportunities for faculty to stepup and allow them to lead high impact research initiatives in our areas of strength.” In addition to the eight academic departments in the Schmidt College of Science, there is a group of strong interdisciplinary and sub-disciplinar y research centers engaged in cutting-edge research. These include The Center for Biological and Materials Physics, The Center for Complex Systems and Brain Sciences, the Center for Cryptology and Information Security, the Center for Geo-Information Sciences, the Center for Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, the Center for Urban and Environmental Solutions, the Florida Center for Environmental Studies, and the Jupiter Life Science Initiative. The College offers programs at FAU’s campuses in Boca Raton, Davie and Jupiter. Previously, Forbes served at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, as the director of the School of Biological Sciences. In addition, she was the founding department head and professor in the Department of Environmental, Social and Spatial Change at Roskilde University, Denmark. “My research has been extremely international, and I envision establishing greater international partnerships, and reinforcing current relationships with renowned research partners, such as the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience,” Forbes said. “We have the only Max Planck Institute in North America in our backyard, that is certainly a feather in our cap and should be nurtured.” The Schmidt College of Science’s faculty members have active collaborations that extend not only across FAU’s colleges and campuses and with Max Planck, but also through the FAU pillars, including I-BRAIN, I-SENSE, HBOI, and IHEALTH, and other local research institutions such as UF Scripps Biomedical Research.

Overwhelmed Florida Renters Stand to Benefit as ‘COVID Refugees’ Return Home Sunshine State Rents Expected to Level off in Next Year Boca Raton, FL – Remote workers returning home could slow Florida’s devastating rent increases while simultaneously creating more affordability issues in New York, according to researchers at Florida Atlantic University and two other schools. The Fort Myers and Miami metropolitan areas once again rank as the nation’s two most overvalued rental markets, with renters this June paying about 29 percent more than they did in June 2021, figures from the Waller Weeks and Johnson Rental Index show. In fact, the top eight of 109 overvalued markets all are in Florida and had year-over-year rent jumps exceeding 21 percent. In normal conditions, rents traditionally increase only 3 to 5 percent a year. But the research from FAU, The University of Alabama and Florida Gulf Coast University indicates that sharp rent increases in Fort Myers, Miami and the other six Florida markets are on pace to slow dramatically in the next year. At the same time, rents in the New York metro area are poised to rise about 21 percent by June 2023. The main reason for this trend appears to be temporary Florida transplants returning home to New York, said Ken H. Johnson, Ph.D., an economist in FAU’s College of Business. Many workers fled New York because of COVID-related restrictions and

worked remotely from Florida, but now firms are requiring their employees to come back to the office. “Those COVID refugees placed a significant burden on the demand for rental units

The lowest rent increase in June was in Jackson, Mississippi, where renters paid only 5.8 percent more than they did last year. Other markets with moderate increases included Wichita, Kansas; Des Moines, Iowa; and

in Florida, and rents spiked to historic highs while New York became slightly more affordable,” Johnson said. “With those workers returning home, Florida should see a cooling in its rent hikes, and New York renters will again have to deal with much higher rates.” The researchers use leasing data from Zillow’s Observed Rental Index to determine existing rents and statistically model historical trends from 2014. The analysis covers the entire rental stock of homes and apartments.

Youngstown, Ohio. The full rankings of the 109 metros can be found here. “By and large, areas with the lowest rent increases are places with stagnant or declining populations,” said Shelton Weeks, Ph.D., of FGCU’s Lucas Institute for Real Estate Development & Finance. “In markets with growing populations, such as most of Florida, landlords can charge what they want because there’s always somebody willing to pay it.” As rents rose in Florida, frustrated con-

sumers and affordable housing advocates called for rent control, but Johnson and other economists said a price cap typically leads to unintended consequences. “Falling rents should help quiet talk of rent control in Florida, but it’ll ratchet back up in New York as rents climb higher there,” said Bennie Waller, Ph.D., of UA’s Culverhouse College of Business. “In the long run, rent control is a bad idea because it leads to poorly maintained buildings, and it incentivizes developers to go build somewhere else without an artificial cap on their revenues.” About Florida Atlantic University: Florida Atlantic University, established in 1961, officially opened its doors in 1964 as the fifth public university in Florida. Today, the University serves more than 30,000 undergraduate and graduate students across six campuses located along the southeast Florida coast. In recent years, the University has doubled its research expenditures and outpaced its peers in student achievement rates. Through the coexistence of access and excellence, FAU embodies an innovative model where traditional achievement gaps vanish. FAU is designated a Hispanic-serving institution, ranked as a top public university by U.S. News & World Report and a High Research Activity institution by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.

Martin Lands on United Soccer Coaches Watch List

On Tuesday, the United Soccer Coaches released the defenders on the NCAA Division I Men’s and Women’s Players to Watch lists for the upcoming 2022 season. Amanda Martin, a senior defender on the Florida Atlantic University women’s soccer team, was named to the watch list. Martin becomes the first student-athlete in FAU program history to be named to the honors and is one of only 35 defenders in the nation to land on the watch list. The lists are being released by the Division I All-America Committees to promote college soccer leading up to the official start date for the regular season. The lists include United Soccer Coaches All-Americans and first or second team

www.bocaratontribune.com

All-Region players from 2021, who are scheduled to return for the 2022 season. Martin enters her senior season after being named to Second Team All-Region honors in 2021. The Miami, Fla., native was a centerpiece of a strong Owls’ back line. Spearheaded by Martin’s efforts, FAU surrendered just 19 goals in 18 games for a 1.06 goals against average with four shutouts. Martin was a workhorse for FAU in her junior season, playing 1,645 minutes on the pitch out of a possible 1,757, which equated to 93.6% of the possible playing time in 17 starts. FAU is set to open the 2022 season in just nine days, when the Owls will host the Crimson Tide of Alabama to the FAU football stadium on Aug. 18.

FAU Baseball Announces Staff Changes for 2023 Season Florida Atlantic University head baseball coach John McCormack has announced three changes to his coaching staff in preparation for the 2023 season. Michael Cleary has been elevated to full-time assistant after spending the past year as the team’s volunteer assistant. Cleary will fill the Owls’ lead assistant and recruiting coordinator position replacing Greg Mamula, who departed to become the head coach at the University of Delaware. A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Cleary played in over 150 games at the University of Dayton during his four seasons with the Flyers (2018-21) and served as a team captain. “Michael is deserving and ready for his promotion. He has all the necessary traits to be a very good coach. I have been impressed by his ability to connect with the players and to maximize their talents. I have enjoyed working with Michael thus far and look forward to watching him blossom even further.” Jordan Tabakman joins the staff as pitching coach after three years at Fairfield University. Tabakman replaces Brady Kirkpatrick who accepted the pitching coach position at Duke. The Pompton Plains, New Jersey native also has Division I playing experience with four years at UCONN from 2012-15. He finished his career with a 3.37 ERA in over 260 innings pitched.
