The resolution will probably take some time as the lag in inventory supply catches up in the Sun Belt Aboutstates.”Florida Atlantic University: Florida Atlantic University, estab lished in 1961, officially opened its doors in 1964 as the fifth public university in Florida.

FAU Study: Rent Growth Slowing in Two Florida Markets, but Affordability Remains a Persistent Problem Nationwide Shortage of Units Gives Leverage to LandlordsBocaRaton, FL – Two Florida markets hampered by dramatic rent increases over the past year finally appear to be getting re lief, but much of the nation remains in the cross hairs of a crisis, according to the latest monthly analysis by researchers at Florida Atlantic University and two other schools. In July, Fort Myers and Miami con tinued to lead the U.S. in the largest yearover-year rent increases at 25.22 percent and 24.61 percent, respectively. But over the past six months, Fort Myers’ average rent rose only 7.05 percent, while Miami’s average was up just 8.39 percent, indicating the worst of the rent hikes occurred more than six months ago. “Annual rent growth in these two ar eas is coming back in line with traditional increases, so renters renewing leases aren’t as overwhelmed as they were last year,” said Ken H. Johnson, Ph.D., an economist in FAU’s College of Business. “Regardless of these shifts, consumers across the country look to be in for a prolonged period of un affordable rental prices.” Along with Fort Myers and Miami, Sarasota-Bradenton, Jacksonville and Port St. Lucie have benefited from cooling rents over the past six months. But other parts of Florida and markets across the nation haven’t been as fortunate. In Knoxville, Tennessee, the aver age rent rose 12.29 percent, up from 7.67 percent in the six months prior. On a sixmonth basis, rent gains also have increased in New York (10.52 percent vs. 8.55 per cent) and Charleston, South Carolina (10.16 percent vs. 6.18 percent). “In these metros, rents are escalating far beyond normal rate increases, with no sign of a let-up,” said Shelton Weeks, Ph.D., of Florida Gulf Coast University’s Lucas Institute for Real Estate Development & Finance.Johnson, Weeks and Bennie Waller, Ph.D. of The University of Alabama, use leasing data from Zillow’s Observed Rental Index to determine existing rents and sta tistically model historical trends from 2014.

Among the goals of the Palm Beach Col laborative Cyber Pathway Project are to in crease the number of students enrolled in the program and the number of industry certifi cations and degrees earned by school district and PBSC students by 5% percent by fall 2023. “When we get a job order at CareerSource now even in the agriculture in dustry every job order asks for knowledge in comput er software,” Dattalo said. “There are so many apps out there. We are shopping on apps, we are working on apps. We’ve gone from an eight-hour day in the workplace to a remote workforce and that means technology has to follow us.

One cannot accept whatever is said or written without ﬁrst analyzing those ideas through a pre-established grid. Wisdom is reached by intelligent comparisons and contrasts; it demands solid discernment between a variety of options; it can never be attained without a prior understanding of the potential consequences of every action taken!Wisdom needs not to be limited to a small segment of the human race. It is available to any person regardless of age, anyone who seeks it diligently throughout life, and is eager to incorporate it in all the decision-making processes, and in every aspect of one’s daily living, in things great or small! The Author of Life is also the Giver of Wisdom which He does not deny to anyone who diligently seeks it from Him. Like most products we utilize, it must be followed in accordance with the prescriptions offered, lest it ceases from being wisdom. It enables its practitioner to view life more realistically and to arrive at conclusions never before imagined. Among all credentials anyone could ever display, wisdom is the most essential and absolutely necessary!

‘The children are our future.’ We often say those words, but what if a child takes a wrong turn in life, becomes ensnared in crime, drug-addiction or suicide and selfdestruction? If children are truly our future, then we adults owe them a helping hand in shaping it. We can do so through mentoring. As a children’s advocate and founder of the KOP Mentoring Network here in Palm Beach County, I believe every young person needs a caring adult mentor to provide encouragement and support to succeed in school and in life. Many of us have the power to truly impact their future by simply showing up as a caring friend andWementor.have seen the benefits of mentoring in addressing our schools’ graduation rates, which, have been increasing in recent years here in South Florida and across the nation. In what can only be described as good news, the Palm Beach County School District again has a graduation rate that has outperformed other large school districts in Florida. More public-school students are graduating than ever as the district’s graduation rate rose from 90 percent in 2017 to 91.7 percent in 2018.The improvement is due in part to adult volunteers who have come forward to help poorly performing students stay on track academically. Nationally, one-third of all high schools provide mentors to their students, which amounts to one in 10 high school students, according to an U.S. Department of Education analysis. The study showed “some significant evidence” that suggests programs that provide high school students adult volunteers may help students stay in school. At KOP Mentoring Network, we see the fruits of mentoring in our Oratorical, STRE2AM2, and Wealth Building and Entrepreneurship programs. Some of our students come from homes that have incarcerated parents or guardians. Without intervention these children are more likely to follow that same path. While our mentors help build student academic skills, the underlying theme for us is making our students see that someone cares enough to be there and expects the best from them.Our mentors are ordinary people who serve as advisers and teachers. They are motivators and role models, who believe in the students we work with. We see the potential and work hard in helping students get to where they want to go. The youngsters participating in the KOP Monitoring Network are less likely to use drugs and alcohol and less likely to skip school. They are more conﬁdent in their academic performance, and they are better able to get along with their families. In short, our mentors are making a difference, a real impact in the lives of the youngsters they serve. The children are our future, but to quote another well-known adage about the harvest being plentiful but the laborers are few. There are still far too many of our young people who lack the support and the tools to succeed in school and in life. Despite the best efforts of the many men and women who serve as mentors and the agencies that support them, much more can be accomplished with the help of more dedicated volunteers. It only takes one caring mentor to shape a child’s future. Mentor to Shape a Child’s Future LIVING

It Only Takes One Dedicated

POSITIVE

By: Dr. Synesio Lyra Wisdom is More Than Accumulated Information

PEDRO MICHAELHEIZERDEMYAN

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

- 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 various seminars and workshops addressing common challenges such as affordable housing, transportation, infrastructure and emergency management. Guest speakers included U.S. Senator John Hickenlooper and National Drug Control Policy Director Dr. Rahul Gupta.

- 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.

Again describing beliefs and values in terms of light, Jesus also said, “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden…. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:14-16). A highly effective, harmonious corporate team not only has people of different talents and abilities working together, complementing one another. They also ascribe to similar values and share a common sense of mission. If you expect your staff to model company values and represent them appropriately to customers and suppliers, it would be wise to emphasize them clearly during interviews. In articulating and impressing values on members of any organization, there is no better place to start than at the beginning.

The mayor presented Special Spaces, based in Boca Raton, with a Certificate of Commendation for their 38th bedroom makeover in the county.

A friend I will call Tim made a critical mistake during his process of hiring a key executive. After the hiring proved to be a failure, Tim admitted that in this situation, he had neglected to adequately communicate his organization’s purpose and values during the recruitment and interviewAfterprocess.sixmonths, it had become evident the new executive, despite very impressive professional credentials, did not ﬁt the established culture of Tim’s company. When the executive was resigning, he told Tim, “I know your faith was mentioned during my interview, but I did not take it seriously. Had I better understood, I could have told you then that it would not work.”Timeither presumed the interviewee would understand the faith-related values that served as a foundation for the company’s operations, or in perceiving this executive had the job expertise and experience the company needed, he chose not to emphasize them. Many companies have found it prudent to express and reinforce their corporate values on mission and values statements. These serve as reminders for employees of what the organization stands for and what it holds as top priorities. In the hiring process, particularly for key individuals, it can be very helpful to introduce these written documents and brieﬂy review them. This serves to candidly state from the start what the company’s leaders believe and the philosophy to which they ascribe, and also gives the potential hire an opportunity to evaluate whether those values are ones that he or she can support. This does not mean prospective employees must be aligned spiritually with company owners or leaders, such as in a privately held, family-owned business. In many instances, laws prohibit discrimination on the basis of religious belief. However, if a job applicant cannot embrace corporate values such as integrity, fairness, customer service, quality, honesty and excellence, it is best to determine that before a hiring mistake is made to the detriment of everyone involved. Jesus Christ addressed this when He said in Mark 4:21-22, “Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don’t you put it on its stand? For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open.”

- 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 Value of Overdraft

This level of control has demonstrated real results. PNC reports that 64% of cus tomers who have a negative-balance event cure their account in time to avoid incur ring a “Sometimesfee. people just need a little more time to cover important expens es,” says Overstrom. “And in these mo ments, they should have choices to make things right.” StatePoint) Health experts say that establishing and maintaining family tra ditions can boost overall well-being and vitality, especially as we age. “As children become adults and move out of the house or away, the fam ily traditions that bind us can sometimes get lost in the process,” says Aparna Ab buri, president of Medicare and Care Allies with Cigna, which provides in surance to hundreds of thousands of older adults through its Medicare plans. “Forming new traditions or reigniting old ones can keep us connected to loved ones, ultimately helping us feel more ful filled, happier and healthier.” Here are some insights into the im portance of traditions to well-being and vitality as we age, along with tips for keeping those connections going in your own circle of family and friends: Traditions help combat loneliness: According to a 2020 survey by Cigna, 61% of adults reported being lonely – a 7 percentage-point increase from 2018. That feeling was likely exacerbated by the pandemic that followed. Traditions can help to combat feelings of isolation. Consider setting up weekly video calls or trading letters and notes with rela tives who live far away. Regular trips to a favorite destination, such as a lake or beach, or celebrating important holidays together every year, can provide mean ingful time together.

“Removing the ability to overdraw an account doesn’t address the fact that ma ny customers need to pay bills, even dur ing temporary cash shortfalls,” says Alex Overstrom, head of Retail Banking at PNC Bank. “The key is that the consumer should be making the decision to incur or avoid fees, not just the bank.”

Traditions strengthen communities: Traditions are not just for families; they can also strengthen ties among friends and communities. Consider getting a group of neighbors together for morn ing walks or meeting friends for shop ping excursions. Make visiting the farm ers market, attending free concerts in the park, playing community center bingo and gathering for other recurring local events part of your routine.

spiritual and religious traditions are great ways to pass these values down from one generation to the next. Traditions can make us feel young again: From cooking and gardening to sports and games, family traditions of ten evoke old memories and make us feel young again. Sensory memories can be particularly powerful. Whether it’s a cookie bakeoff, ballpark peanuts and hot dogs, or a singalong around the piano, family rituals that include special sights, sounds and aromas are often the ones we think of most fondly.

How to Get a Handle on Overdraft Fees

5 Ways Traditions Help Us Stay Healthy and Happy

(StatePoint) When your bank account balance is low, life can be stressful. For ex ample, when it’s time to pay large expens es that can’t wait, like car loan payments or monthly rent, it’s all too easy to overdraft a bank account. In fact, U.S. consumers pay billions of dollars a year in overdraft fees for covering all types of purchases, both large and small.

There is no doubt that overdraft fees serve as a pain point for many consum ers, and as the issue of overdraft contin ues to be discussed and debated, several banks have taken different approaches in response.Some have taken steps to address over drafts, mostly by eliminating fees or elimi nating the ability to overdraft completely. Alternatively, PNC Bank now offers a solution that provides customers with greater control in these circumstances. Low Cash Mode, a tool that offers transparency and choices to help customers avoid fees by managing low-cash moments or mistimed payments, is a feature available in the PNC Virtual Wallet account through the PNC Bank Mobile app. The feature notifies you when your available balance is near or be low zero and gives you at least 24 hours (and often more) to bring a negative bal ance to at least $0 through a deposit or funds transfer before incurring a fee. It al so gives you the choice of whether to pay or return certain pending checks and elec tronic payments when your balance is near ing negative territory.

The ability to choose to overdraft can help consumers avoid bigger repercus sions like credit impacts and loss of ac cess to banking that unpaid bills or late payments can cause. Allowing custom ers to make their critical payments – al beit for a small fee – sometimes makes a difference that helps allow them to stay in the banking system. For example, if you opt to pay your rent or car payment – and avoid a penalty or a negative impact to your credit score by simply paying an overdraft fee – then the option to overdraft has provided a value.

I served alongside and collaborated with Susan Whelchel for decades—she was deputy mayor when I was mayor; I was mayor when she was a school board member; she was mayor when I was county commissioner. A friend of hers called us “mayors-in-law.”Iwasacitykidfrom Philadelphia, Pa., and she grew up in rural Starke, Florida. But we both ended up in Boca Raton as did mostly everyone from our generation who moved here from somewhere else. And so we shared a vision, knowing that the next generation was growing up in Boca Raton together, and offered a new cohesive dynamic for our city, if they stayed!And we knew for that to happen, we had to promote good educational and job opportunities, and Susan, with her characteristic determination and persever ance, set about doing just that. That is her lasting legacy—not just the parks and schools and the other things—and she will be missed terribly by me and by our community.

Friends and family of the late Boca Mayor Susan Whelchel paid final respects to the two-term chief executive and loving wife, mother and grandmother at a funer al service Thursday in her favorite house of worship – Grace Commu nity Church on West Camino Real. Whelchel, 77, who occu pied the big chair at City Hall from 2008 until she was term-limited in 2014, passed away Aug. 5, after a val iant battle with Alzheimer’s Disease. The wife of John Whelchel, moth er of four and grandmother of 10 would have marked her 78th birthday Aug. 13.

After a few other com ments, he offered a sincere “good bye, Susan. Your legacy lives on.”

“We have proven that a toldagendatinuenewback-to-basicsapproachworksinthiseconomicreality,andIwillcontodriveabold,common-senseforthenextthreeyears,”shethisreporterin2011.Bythatsametime,shehad long been a supporter of environ mentally sustainable or “green” tech nology, particularly in the construc tion of buildings and use of green space around the Daughterscity.Joanne Jackson and Kristy Hartofilis offered a softer, gentler side of “Mom” at Thursday’s ceremony, remembering her excite ment for “special Christmas things” and how the Whelchel house “ex ploded” with holiday cheer during December.“Our Christmas tree has been up for six years,” commented Joanne.

Son Matt Whelchel re called how his mother immediately became active in the community when she and husband John arrived in Boca Raton in 1978. At the time, he said, the city had little to keep young people from moving away af ter finishing high school. He said his mom, through the years, helped im prove upon local opportunities.

Late Boca Mayor Whelchel leaves ‘legacy of love’ to friends, family, at funeral

The hour-long memorial that began at 4 p.m. in the church formerly known as First Presbyteri an, included prayers, messages, trib utes from her children and grand children and recollections from her immediate predecessor, former May or Steven Abrams.Agraveside ceremony was held prior to the funeral service, said the pastor, the Rev. Jason Whitener. Among those in the nearly filled-uppews of thesimplydesigned brick church were current Mayor Scott Singer and two other former Boca mayors, Susan Haynie and Bill Smith. A large photo of Mayor Whelchel was projected on a screen above the altar while cascades of flowers ringed a framed copy of the same portrait below. On that same screen, late in the ceremony, a video showing the life of John and Susan Whelchel during their 52 years of marriage was projected. Throughout the solemn ceremony that included many breaks for lighter comments, speakers told how Susan Whelchel made Jesus the center of her Herlife.obituary on the Babi one Funeral Home webpage said: “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 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 bridge player, enjoyed her investment ‘Blush Group’ and played golf to keep in linewith her husband, John’s, passion. She [also] enjoyed en tertainingandhostingnumerouspar ties.”

Speaking to the audience, Abrams noted that Gov. Ron De Santis had ordered flags to be post ed to half-staff in her honor. Mayor from 2001 to 2007, Abrams said he and Ms. Whelchel took part in some “fierce battles,” but he admired her “perseverance, sincerity and loyalty.” He recalled how one of Susan’s friends from the town of Starke, Florida, had defined Abrams as Ms. Whelchel’s “mayor-in-law.”

“She had a vision to bring quality education, excellent medical facilities, higher learning opportuni ties, adequate recreational facilities, thecampaign,andBeachtycilbeengeneration.”inherandpaused,involvedquestion,accomplishments,theincity.publicparksandnaturecenterstotheShehelpedBocaachieveitsgoal2015whenBocaRatonwasnamed11thbestcityinthecountry.”AfterrecountinghermanyJayrepeatedthe“Whydidmymothergetinthecommunity?”Helookedouttotheaudiencesaid,calmly,“Shediditforyou.”Andheadded:“Shegavealltothingsshebelievedin,andlayingthegroundworkforthenextInhertime,WhelchelhasbothaBocaRatonCityCounmember,headoftheCommuniRedevelopmentAgency,aPalmCountySchoolBoardmembermayor.Duringher2011mayoralascoveredbythiswriter,city’schiefexecutiveputjobcre ation and economic recovery at the top of her list of priorities. Mayor Whelchel also staunchly refused to raise taxes and fought to responsibly cut the municipal budget in response to the national economic downturn of 2008-2009.

Kristy,theyoungestdaugh ter, remembered how her mom re turned to church after the pandemic, tearing up as she talked of her moth er’s difficulties with Alzheimer’s. Still, ‘Mayor Grandma’ held firm. “She loved the church, and she loved the Lord.” The pastor said Ms. Whelchel attended church practically every Sunday. “She was here on Eas ter,” he noted. The late afternoon rite quickly became a family affair. Grandson Nick Hartofilis, with dad at his side, recited the Matthew 11:28-30 verse. Granddaughter Makayla Whelchel sang “Waiting on an Angel,” accompanying herself on the guitar. Everyone stood to sing “AmazingAllGrace.”10grandchildren – Ha ley, Davis, Makayla, Mary, Jack, Mad die, Caroline, Vivi, Nick and Mira –recited a poem, “Legacy of Love” as they stood in a line across the stage. Each one spoke a verse.

Son Jay Whelchel said folks have asked him why his mother got involved in community service around the time she was a teacher at Boca High in the mid-1990s. That positioncameclosetotheconclusion of her 30-year career as an educator.

Calling upon her love and admiration for education, Su san Whelchel “was single-handedly responsible” for creating the Don Estridge High-Tech Middle School in Boca Raton, on land once occu pied by IBM – and named for one of its executives, said Abrams. He also commended her for working to make Boca Raton a place where high school and college graduates want ed to return home, work and raise a family.

Susan Slade Whelchel, the citi zen mayor who died recently at age 77, will best be remembered as a tireless public servant who volun teered thousands of hours with a laundry list of civic organizations. The 30-year educator turned politician was a fierce advocate for all the residents of her beloved city. It is an understate ment to say that civic commitment was at the heart of her political life and much of her person al one.She became more immersed in community service nearing the twilight of her career by volunteering with non-profits and other organiza tions.The longtime volunteer with the Junior League of Boca Ra ton was honored as the organiza tion’s 2016 Woman Volunteer of the year.Sheis credited as being one of the 14 founding members of the Spirit of Giving Network, a non profit that partners with more than 90 nonprofits and focuses on chil dren and families in South Palm BeachInCounty.1998,during a break at a city meeting, she pulled me aside and told me about the new ly founded Spirit of Giving. She knew I was founder of the then Knights of Pythagoras Mentor ing Network, which held an annual back to school giveaway event. She used words like “better together” as she ex plained the pow er of collaborating “to reach and touch more” in a manner, which I could not say no.Shortly after, the then executive director of the or ganization and I met, and we col laborated and brought the Back-toSchool Bash to the Boys and Girls Club in Delray Beach. In politics, Mayor Whelchel was tough, determined, and unre lenting in what she believed was best for Boca Raton. Not one to mince her words, she was candid and at times color ful. Whenever she disagreed with my reporting, she would either call me or pull me aside in City Hall and share her disappointment, al most like an elementary teacher would.Matching Mayor Whelchel’s in tensity was her compassion for all, especially for those who were vul nerable. She made it her quest to make Boca Raton a world class com munity. In her early campaign for office, she pledged to improve the quali ty of the city’s schools and make higher education more attractive. (She served four years as a board member on Florida Atlantic Univer sity Research Park after she retired fromShepolitics).wanted to make sure Boca Raton kids would return home af ter completing college and universi ty. She worked hard to establish the Don Estridge Middle School, a hightech choice public school on land once occupied by IBM off Spanish RiverLindyBoulevard.Harvey, executive direc tor of the Spirit of Giving, had res ervations about sending her children to Boca Raton High until May or Whelchel, who was then on the school board, assured her that ev erything would be fine. “She said, ‘I can’t tell you why, but I promised you it’s going to be ok,’” recalled Harvey, who enrolled all her children in the school. They previously attended private school. “All three of my children attended Boca High all because she told me it is going to be ok.” After capping a 30-year teaching career, she entered politics in 1995 when she was elected to the Boca Raton City Council. She easily was re-elected twice and was term-lim ited from running again. However, she continued public service when former Gov. Jeb Bush appointed her to a two-year term on the Palm Beach County School Board. Mayor Whelchel returned to the City Council, serving two more terms before her election as may or in 2008, a position she held un til she retired in 2014. Still her work did not end after retirement. She was instrumental, the following year, in Boca Raton being named the 11th best city in the country. To her credit, she is responsi ble for creating thousands of jobs by enticing Office Depot, ADT Se curity Services, Lord & Taylor and other companies to the area. Her legacy extends beyond the city of Boca Raton since she affect ed many lives through her years of teaching and serving on the School Board.“She was so committed to this community and did everything she could to make it” a first-class com munity, Harvey added. Farewell Mayor. Job Well Done!
