During September’s Hunger Action Month, Boca Helping Hands (BHH) has several ways that community members can help feed local families who are food inse cure. The public can get involved by donat ing non-perishable items, volunteering, and contributing needed funds. Feeding America projects that over 181,000 Palm Beach County residents are suffering from food insecurity; of those, nearly 53,000 are children. In July, the U.S. Depart ment of Labor re ported an annu al inflation rate of 9.1% through June. This hike in the cost of living can be seen in the increased demand for hunger relief services, with some of the BHH pantry bag locations distributing twice the num ber of bags compared to this time last year. “Hunger Action Month is a remind er that there are local families and children who do not know where their next meal is coming from, and, as a community, we can help,” said Greg Hazle, Executive Director of Boca Helping Hands. “Unfortunately, inflation being the highest it’s been in four decades has made it much harder for fam ilies to put food on the table.”Boca Helping Hands has planned a calendar of events for Hunger Action Month, with a sug gested activity each day in September to get the communi ty involved in com bating the current hardships. Initia tives include group volunteer shifts for corporate partners, a Tackle Hunger Cereal Drive event at FAU’s home football game on Sept. 10, and donating the cost of a box for their an nual Thanksgiving Box Brigade.

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.Inmy humble opinion, Rev.

Preparation for life is a daily, moment-by-moment activity. New challenges come all the time and we need to know how best to respond to them! As Rich de Vos recommends, “You never will discover how far you can go if you don’t start ‘doing it’.” You can confidently leave the results up to God as long as you faithfully do your part! Ultimately, it is only in the path of obedience that you will understand where you are to go, and to go next! The right doors will open for you when you find yourself in the road God designed for you to traverse under His leading and personal care!

Preach POSITIVE LIVING Dr.

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

CommUNITY Champions Practicing What

Don’t look at things as they are and be satisfied. Rather, face them as they can become and do your part to bring that into reality! The same also applies to persons with whom you interact. Who they are now should not be viewed with any finality! They need your encouragement to become all they can be, to excel in all their pursuits, to maximize all their currentIdoings!onceread of an artist that set up a studio on the first floor of a downtown building of some city. One of the first things he noticed, looking out of his window, was a disheveled town vagabond who daily sat on the street across from his studio, as a beggar. The artist used that man as his first painting project. He actually drew him not as he then looked but as he, the artist, imagined him to be. Upon its completion, he invited the man in, and showed him what he had produced. Not knowing who the subject was, the homeless man inquired of the artist, and was most surprised when told that it was he, himself. His significant reaction was, “If that’s the man you see, that’s the person I’ll be!” Much that is given to us is not for immediate, personal consumption; most is provided for us to improve: sometimes, for the betterment of the tool or of the situation. Most often, however, it is for our own, personal betterment. Making excellence your personal goal already empowers you to go after what will bring it to pass! Thus, be a greater critic of yourself rather than of others. Realize the areas where you can improve and proceed to take the necessary steps to make it so. You need to try and keep on trying whatever will enable you to be who you can be, and do what you are capable of doing! The very idea that you can accomplish it must become an inward belief and attitude with tangible efforts and visible outcomes, even if it may take time to complete, besides some barriers to overcome. As Samuel Johnson declared in his day, “the business of life is to go forward.”

- 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!

- On July 14, 2022, Mayor Weinroth joined fellow commissioners, assistant county administrators and Palm Tran and Parks and Recreation staff for the debut of Palm Trans’ bus celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation Department (PBC Parks). The bus features wonderful landscapes of our local parks and beaches. For 50 years, PBC Parks has provided diverse, safe and affordable recreation services and opportunities for our residents to live healthy and happy lives. Today, PBC Parks is the 11th largest parks and recreation agency in the country, operating 110 parks covering over 8,000 acres in amazing locations from the ocean to the Everglades. Each of our parks is unique and offers something for everyone!- On July 13, 2022, Mayor Weinroth attended the Palm Beach North Chamber of Commerce Trustee Council Breakfast at Eastpointe Country Club in Palm Beach Gardens. Mayor Weinroth provided an overview of current county priorities related to the business community and economic development initiatives. He also addressed public transportation challenges in relation to future growth and uniﬁed planning initiatives. The chamber serves as an important business and community resource and focuses on developing and retaining businesses. It takes an active role in issues affecting local companies’ proﬁtability and protecting and improving the quality of life for residents.

A lot of things go into the realization of success in business: Quality workmanship and service. Execution of a novel idea. Effective leadership and direction. Those, for the most part, are factors we can manage. One factor, however, that we often overlook is timing. Especially, perfect timing. In his book, When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, Daniel Pink addresses the importance of timing as it affects productivity and ultimately, our success. A Wall Street Journal article summarized his findings, point“smarter,ouringoutwaysPinksuggestsforbetterallocatingtimeatworkthroughouttheday.Hisresearchdiscoveredthatwearefasterandmorecreativeinsome parts of the day than others.” Confirming these conclusions, Russell Foster, a neuroscientist, freshtimedoablyseemdrinkingbedailyclaims,“Theperformancechangebetweenthehighpointandthedailylowpointcanequivalenttotheeffectonperformanceofthelegallimitofalcohol.”Thatmaylikeastartlingcomparison,butitisprob-veryaccurateforassessingwhenwecanourbestwork.Personally,Ihavelearnedthatmybestforwritingisearlymorning.Mymindisafteragoodnight’ssleepandideasseem to flow more quickly and smoothly. Not everyone, of course, is a “morning person.” Some people do their best work in the late morning, in the afternoon, or even late at night. The key necessarymakeistorealizewhenyouaremostproductiveandcertaintosafeguardthattimefromun-distractions.InreadingtheBible,Ihavefounditinteresting to find that it places a high premium on our effective use of time – and timing. For instance, we are told, “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity…” (Ecclesiastes 3:1). We can apply this principle in a number of ways, but one of them is that there havegoalswepassesmeantime,sizesduringtant,ingisabesttimeforustopursueourwork,mean-weshouldstrivetoscheduleotherimpor-butnon-workactivitiesforothertimestheday,weekormonth.Anotherpassage,Ephesians5:16,empha-theurgencyfor“makingthemostofyourbecausethedaysareevil.”Thisdoesnottimeinitselfisinherentlyevil,buttimequickly.Notcapitalizingonthetimehavecanresultinfailuretoachievedesiredandobjectives.Attheveryleast,wewillmissedoutontheopportunitytopursue

Looking at the example of Jesus Christ, we find that He also designated specific times for doing certain things, including prayer and time alone with God the Father.

- Joined by fellow county commissioners, Mayor Weinroth recently attended the 2022 National Association of Counties (NACo) Annual Conference in Adams County, Colorado.

Back to School Fashion: Top Sneaker Styles to Try (StatePoint) As college students head back to campus, important decisions about classes, dorms, and part-time jobs are made. At this time in their life, ma ny women will also make important de cisions about birth control. There are multiple birth control methods to choose from, and it can be overwhelming to consider the different options. How well a certain form of birth control works is one important factor to consider, but it’s also important to be aware of potential risks. Experts point to three tips that can help women make an informed choice to meet their specif ic needs:•Awoman’s health history is im portant to consider when choosing birth control. For example, birth control meth ods that contain the hormone estrogen are not recommended for those who have severe diabetes, a history of mi graine headaches with aura, or any ge netic blood clotting disorder or personal or family history of clotting. Women can complete a health history questionnaire that they can discuss with their doctor at

nant, also should be considered.

• Relationship factors, including the number of sexual partners a woman might have, how often she has sex, mar ital status and her partner’s preference, also need to be considered. With these issues in mind, the best method of birth control for any woman is one that is safe, that she is comfortable using, and that she is able to use consis tently and correctly. The birth control pill is one of the most common forms of contraception and has been used safely and effectively by millions of women for decades, but any form of hormonal birth control, in cluding the pill, patch or ring, can in crease a woman’s risk for blood clots. Women who use hormonal birth con trol should know the symptoms of blood clots in the leg or arm, including: swell ing, pain and skin that is warm or discol ored. Left untreated, a blood clot in the leg or arm can travel to a person’s lung and be deadly. Symptoms of a blood clot in the lung include: difficulty breathing, chest pain, cough or coughing up blood, and a faster than normal heartbeat. Seek immediate medical attention if you expe rience any of these signs or symptoms. Acting quickly may help save your life, or the life of a friend or family member. (StatePoint) As the last days of sum mer vacation are wrapping up, parents start to check off their back to school to-do lists, ensuring children are ready for their first day.

Supply-chain delays and shortages that have hampered deliveries since the COV ID-19 pandemic soon could be easing, ac cording to a business survey by a research er at Florida Atlantic University. Results from the inaugural Port Ever glades Economic Engine Performance In dex show that businesses with operations at the Fort Lauderdale port are overwhelming ly optimistic over the short and long term. “This survey clearly shows that the supply chain troubles we’ve seen over the past two years are starting to decline,” said David Menachof, Ph.D., the study researcher and an associate professor in FAU’s Information Technology and Op erations Management Department within the College of Business. “There will still be sporadic shortages, but I think the out look for the holiday shopping season will be rosier than last year. Still, it may take until 2023 to get back to what we think of asThenormal.”supply chain issues have led to shortages of many items and products, in cluding semiconductor chips, severely lim iting vehicle production and pushing up sticker prices. Limited supply of rubber has hurt tire manufacturing, while lack of plastics has fast-food restaurants scram bling to keep ketchup packets in stock and grocery stores struggling to keep soft drink shelves filled. The survey consisted of 35 emailed re sponses to questions posed of members of the Port Everglades Association, a business organization that promotes the port. Busi nesses that responded to the survey includ ed cruise lines, cargo ship lines and engi neering firms. Nearly 90 percent of survey respon dents said they’re still experiencing supply chain disruptions attributed to the pan demic, with 30 percent of those disrup tions severe. But the survey also found that nearly seven out of 10 firms said they have at least recovered to pre-pandemic levels, while 22 percent of respondents indicat ed their performances have surpassed preCOVIDFirmslevels.involved on the cargo side of the port expect imports and exports to in crease or remain steady in the coming year, with only one firm indicating volume could decrease. Port Everglades set new cargo re cords in May and June, and CEO Jonathan Daniels said he’s encouraged by that trend. More than 60 percent of respondents said they will be adding employees in the next quarter, although a majority of those firms said they have experienced a shortage of qualified candidates, a problem shared by other employers nationwide. To train more qualified industry profes sionals, FAU has started a Master of Sci ence in Supply Chain Management. The new degree – a series of 10 courses that can be completed in 12 months – also will focus on international shipping and trade and business analytics. “We fully support this survey, which al lows us to gauge the pulse of the port busi ness community,” said Lori Baer, executive director of the association. “We serve as a bridge between public and private inter ests to facilitate the port’s achievement of its rightful place as a leader in the ranks of America’s port ocean commerce.”

The City of Delray Beach has hired CBRE as the exclusive agent for a new mas ter-planned 18-hole golf course to revital ize the current Delray Beach Golf Club at 2200 Highland Avenue. The site is approx imately ±148.52 acres lo cated along Atlantic Ave nue to the north and just west of Interstate 95. The redevelopment will include a redesigned world-class 18-hole cham pionship golf course that will prioritize the integrity and historical significance of the current 9-hole course designed by acclaimed golf course designer, Donald Ross. Addition ally, there will be new amenities, including a clubhouse, golf pro shop, bar, kitchen, restaurant, golf cart barn and maintenance building.“While the course has received industry acclaim in the past, it needs upgrades and renovations estimated at more than $10 mil lion to maintain the course and enhance the visitor experience. The site’s redevelopment is also an opportunity for placemaking; we encourage developers to create a destina tion that welcomes all City residents, golfers and non-golfers alike,” said Delray Beach Mayor Shelly Petrolia. The City has outlined specific require ments and goals related to this redevel opment in the Request for Proposal. Any questions regarding the specifications and solicitation process must be submitted in writing to the Purchasing De partment at mydelraybeach.com.purchasing@Re quests for clarification and additional informa tion must be received by the Deadline for Submis sion of Questions on September 21. The City’s preference is for the selected developer to provide the upgrades and ren ovations at limited to no cost to the City. To accomplish this goal, the City will consid er commercial uses on the site to provide a revenue stream for the developer to offset the upgrade and renovation costs.

CBRE local expert Chris Smiles will partner with Lee Ann Korst, Southeast Re gional Manager of CBRE’s Public Institu tions and Education Solutions (PIES), to represent the City. CBRE’s PIES Group provides real estate services to state, coun ty, city, and educational institutions around the country.

Women In Distress’ Education and Empowerment Center has been named after The Thomas Family Foundation honoring their years of dedicating time, energy, and resources into bettering the lives of domestic violence survivors. Phyllis and Al Thomas, individually and through The Thomas Family Foundation, have been providing signiﬁcant philanthropic support to Broward County charities for more than a decade when they relocated from Chicago and made South Florida their new home. Since 2009 they have supported Women In Distress of Broward County and have taken active roles. Phyllis has served on the Board of Directors for more than 10 years, including two terms as Board Chair. During that time, the Thomas’ became major donors, additionally, they started the Women In Distress Charity Golf Tournament which has raised life savings funds and continues to grow to its ninth year. To further encourage giving and attract new donors to WID’s mission, they established The Thomas Family Foundation Vision for the Future Challenge Grant which became especially important when the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020. Because of the support of Phyllis and Al Thomas, WID has been able to expand services for domestic violence survivors and their children, strengthen the agency, and encourage others to give. Phyllis and Al Thomas personify leadership giving. “One of the most gratifying parts of my role as CEO of Women In Distress is joining others who are passionate about our mission to end domestic violence. When I ﬁrst came to Women In Distress as a new CEO, I saw evidence that Phyllis Thomas and the Thomas Family Foundation were true assets to this organization!,” said President and CEO Linda L. Parker, Ph.D. “I saw their passion and witnessed the personal investment she and the Thomas Family Foundation have made. I received calls from individuals who wanted to become involved in supporting our mission because they had met Phyllis and she connected them to Womenus.”
