ï Florida has a significant human trafficking problem. The state ranks third in the country in the number of cases reported to the National Human Trafficking Hotline. Palm Beach County ranks third in Florida in the number of cases reported to the National Human Trafficking Hotline. In 2020, the most recent year for which there are complete national statistics compiled by the hotline, there were 738 reported cases of human trafficking in Florida: 28% of those who were trafficked for sex were minors, and almost 85% of those were female. The average age of sex-trafficked teens in PBC is 13.

Atlantic University’s Schmidt College of Medicine received a $1 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to launch the ﬁrst Florida Summer Institute in Biostatistics and Data Science in the Southeastern United States – and one of only 10 sites across the nation. FAU is working in collaboration with the University of Miami and Florida International University on the program, which is focused on health disparities related to cardiovascular and infectious diseases. The summer program runs annually from mid-May through June, with a new cohort for each of the ﬁve-years of funding.

Boca Raton Residents Honor

Boca Raton, FL — In recognition of the 21st anniversary of 9/11, Boca Raton, Palm Beach County, and South Florida residents honored America’s fall en heroes and the thousands of victims who were killed on September 11, 2001, at Jewish National Fund-USA’s and KKLJNF’s 9/11 Living Memorial in Jerusalem — the only commemorative site of its kind outside of the U.S. that lists all the names of those who perished.

“On this 21st anniversary of 9/11, I think the message is, we need to con tinue to fight intolerance and terrorism,” said Dr. Robert Colton of Boca Raton. “In the United States and in Israel, we support freedom: freedom of speech, tolerance, and diversity. If I can’t be in the United States, the next best place to be on 9/11 is Israel.”

Palm Beach County ranks third in Flor ida in the number of cases reported to the National Human Trafficking Hotline. In 2020, the most recent year for which there are complete national statistics compiled by the hotline, there were 738 reported cases of human trafficking in Florida: 28% of those who were trafficked for sex were minors, and almost 85% of those were female.

They commissioned playwright Eric Coble to write a play about human traffick ing and online safety that would be presented free to seventh grade students in Palm Beach County schools. The result is the powerful Live to Tell, in which three 15-year-old girls from very different backgrounds reveal how they were preyed upon by savvy predators and trapped in the world of sex trafficking.

Live to Tell will be performed at vari ous PBC middle schools during September as part of PBD’s One Humanity Tour, a pro fessional touring program that began in 2017 with a commissioned play for sixth graders called Swagger, also written by Coble. The One Humanity Tour was created with as sistance from the School District of Palm Beach County and the West Palm Beach Po lice Department, and conceived out of the conviction that theatre can contribute to the development of informed, thoughtful, and compassionate citizens. Swagger, which is also being performed this month, address es the tensions between the public and law enforcement from different vantage points, and has thus far played to over 19,500 stu dents. Each performance of both plays is followed by a talkback, and there are sup plemental materials for teachers, adminis trators, and parents.

talkback includes interviews, conducted by cast members, with a behavioral health specialist and a represen tative from the Human Trafficking Coali tion of the Palm Beaches about online safety, and emphasizes to students how their smart phones are a gateway for traffickers. Students are asked to fill out a post-performance sur vey, and at the very bottom of the page is a message that says: “If there is a situation in your life where you feel uncomfortable and would like to speak with a trusted adult, please say so below. Turn in this paper di rectly to your teacher.” It also provides ad ditional ways to get help.

The response to the play by students demonstrates the impact theatre can have to enlighten, to change lives, and, with this play, even save lives. “It shows, tells us what could happen/would happen if we’re not careful,” one student commented. “It can help us save someone from going through the same thing the characters were,” said another.

Touring Play for Seventh Grade Students on Human Trafficking Could Be a Life Saver

Live to Tell managed just a few perfor mances in 2020 before everything shut down, but its effectiveness was immediately appar ent. “We know for certain by comments we received on our post-performance surveys that we are making an impact with students during the performance and talkback, and raising red flags about predatory behavior,” said Cadwallader. “We are not only telling a compelling story of three young people ensnared in trafficking, but hopefully saving young people from falling into the trap of co ercion and exploitation. We know that Live to Tell can help save a young person from trau ma or death by defining human trafficking and showing them examples of what could happen if you fall prey to traffickers.”

Live to Tell is funded by Impact 100 Palm Beach County and the National En dowment for the Arts.

When Palm Beach Dramaworks Direc tor of Education and Community Engage ment Gary Cadwallader was told by a school principal that teen human trafficking “keeps me up at night,” he and Producing Artis tic Director William Hayes were determined that PBD would help bring awareness of this lurking danger to the county’s students.

In the Bible’s New Testament, Galatians 6:2 teaches, “Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulﬁll the law of Christ.” Another way to express this is “sharing the load.” The weight of emotions, or the strain of dealing with problems that cannot be quickly resolved, can overwhelm. Sometimes we can help in speciﬁc, tangible ways. Other times all we can do is communicate to the other person that we care - and sometimes, that is enough. We might assure them we are praying for them. Helping to bear someone else’s burdens might be an act of benevolence they will never forget.

At the Board of County Commissioners workshop on Aug. 30, 2022, Mayor Weinroth presented the county’s Fire Rescue Department with a certificate of recognition for achieving the Class 1 Fire Department rating, the best possible rating from the Insurance Services Office (ISO). Only .01% of fire departments received this honor out of nearly 40,000 agencies that went through the rigorous testing and reporting process. The ISO rates fire departments based on the ability to respond to and prevent fires. With its new Class 1 Public Protection Classification, Palm Beach County Fire Rescue is now a proud member of the elite Fire Rescue departments in the nation that hold this distinction. This accomplishment is a true testament to the department’s vision statement of “Excellence Today, Improving Tomorrow.”
