FAU Receives $10 Million Gift to Establish Eminent Dean in Nursing

Florida Atlantic University received an estate pledge of $10 million from Hol li Rockwell Trubinsky and her husband Joseph Trubinsky to establish the Hol li Rockwell Trubinsky Eminent Dean in Nursing. The gift, approved by the FAU Board of Trustees, will create an en dowed fund within the Florida Atlantic University Foundation to sustain excep tional leadership in the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing.

The Rockwell Trubinsky Estate Gift will provide the esteemed dean of nurs ing with resources to effectively respond to the changing needs of nurses and help transform the dynamic landscape of health care. The aim of this gift is to attract and retain the best and brightest leadership to the College of Nursing at FAU and create a positive and significant impact on the nursing profession.

“Through my work as a nurse and having served on the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing Advisory Board, I am acutely aware of the importance and im pact nurses have in health care,” said Holli Rockwell Trubinsky, philanthropist. “En suring FAU’s ability to recruit and sus tain extraordinary leaders who will train future generations of nurses is a priority and passion.”

The Trubinskys’ transformational gift to sustain excellence in leadership in the College was inspired in part by the guid ing role of Christine E. Lynn in the cre ation of the College of Nursing and is an expression of their desire for the College to continue thriving in the nursing field. Together, Holli and Joseph hope their gift will inspire and promote the College’s on going goals of training a distinguished

nursing workforce recognized for highquality clinical skills, rooted in compas sion and person-centered care. This gift also advances the strategic priority of the University’s FAU Health Network, ad dressing health care professional short ages to improve the lives of citizens in South Florida and beyond.

“The Trubinskys’ gift truly is trans formational for the College of Nurs ing,” said Safiya George, Ph.D., APRNBC, FAANP, dean and professor of the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing. “The current nursing shortage through out the health care industry has reached a critical point, and this gift, once realized, will help us draw the best and brightest to FAU and create positive and signifi cant impacts on the nursing profession in the future.”

Holli Rockwell Trubinsky has served on the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing Advisory Board and the Caring Hearts Auxiliary of The Louis and Anne Green Memory and Wellness Center, sup porting excellence in nursing in the South Florida community through volunteer ac tivities at FAU for many years. She re mains dedicated to providing a “handson,” skills-based approach to education, reflective of the College’s mission.

“We are extremely grateful for this generous gift from Holli and Joe, which will support excellence in nursing lead ership and education,” said FAU Presi dent John Kelly. “Holli has been a won derful friend to the university, and I am so pleased that the Rockwell Trubinsky name will forever be linked with FAU’s nationally ranked Christine E. Lynn Col lege of Nursing.”

See The Comics That Inspired the new Netflix Movie “Slumberland”

What do the new Netflix movie “Slumberland” and FAU Libraries’ Jaffe Center for Book Arts have in common? The inspiration for the movie, based on the comic strip “Little Nemo in Slumberland” by Winsor McCay, can be found at the Jaffe Center, as the story’s original comics are part of the collection at the Boca Raton campus. To commemorate the film’s release, these limitededition items will be on display until Dec. 18.

“Slumberland,” released on Friday, Nov. 18, is directed by Francis Lawrence, written by David Guion and Michael Handelman, and stars Jason Momoa as Flip, an eccentric half-man, half-monster who guides Nemo (Marlow Barkley) through the land of dreams and imagination for a chance to see her late father one more time.

FAU’s Jaffe Center for Book Arts has two Sunday Press limited-edition books of the original comics, published in 2005 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of “Little Nemo in Slumberland.” “Little Nemo in Slumberland: So Many Splendid Sundays!” and “Little Nemo in Slumberland: Many More Splendid Sundays!” contain complete, fullcolor reprints of the best comic strips in the same size as early 1900s newspapers, allowing modern readers to have the same experience as their counterparts 100 years ago.

“FAU Libraries benefactor Arthur Jaffe loved the original comics as a child and purchased the books as soon as they were pub-

lished, eager to add them to his growing collection,” said John Cutrone, director of the Jaffe Center.

McCay, an American cartoonist and animator, created Little Nemo’s character in 1905, and the full-page, weekly comic strip ran in the New York Herald and New York American for the next 20 years. The comics became McCay’s best-known work and are considered a masterpiece for their use of color and perspective and the author’s skills in visual storytelling.

The comics depict Nemo having fantastic dreams that take him into “Slumberland,” or bring fairytale characters to the familiar streets of New York City. Each strip ends with the boy waking up in the final panel.

The Jaffe Center is open Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and appointments are recommended. For more information, contact John Cutrone at 561-297-4189.

Coral Springs Museum of Art and The Sawgrass Nature Center Team Up for Giving Tuesday

Coral Springs, FL — The Coral Springs Museum of Art is partnering with the Sawgrass Nature Center on Tuesday November 29, 2022, from 5:308:30pm for National Giving Tuesday Day.

GIVING TUESDAY

The Coral Springs Museum of Art and The Sawgrass Nature Center and Wildlife Hospital have joined #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide. PAINT FOR A PURPOSE. Occurring this year on November 29, 2022, #GivingTuesday is held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday to kick-off the holiday giving season and inspire people to collaborate in improving their local communities and to give back in impactful ways to the charities and causes they support.

Coral Springs Museum of Art – a community art museum in Coral Springs that, since 1996, has been bringing people together around its core values of engaging and connecting our diverse communities with dynamic exhibits, ex-

ceptional art education, stimulating specialty programs, and inspired events to ignite cultural enrichment – conceptualized #GivingTuesday as a new way of linking individuals and causes to strengthen communities and encourage giving. This year the museum is teaming up with local non-profit, Sawgrass Nature Center in an effort to strengthen the concept of #GivingTuesday in our community. SNC’s mission is ‘to educate the public about South Florida’s unique culture, environment and the many species it contains, to promote healthy living, outdoor activity and to provide excellent care for sick, injured or orphaned native wildlife. The organizations are hosting a Paint for a Purpose, Bob Ross inspired event at the Museum on #GivingTuesday, all proceeds will be shared between the two non-profits.

Director Jill Brown said, “We are thrilled to work together with the Sawgrass Nature Center. They are a topnotch organization that is contributing to the Coral Springs Community in a myriad of ways. You would think of it right away, but we are a nature fit. Arts and Nature have always gone hand in hand. The event is going to a fun filled night for all ages.”

A challenging question once posed to me was: “Where will you be when you get where you’re going?” I quickly recog nized that it had much more to do than with geography only. It could entail a lo cation but, more importantly, it related to where one will be physically, mental ly, emotionally, socially, spiritually, and in other life dimensions as well.

Far too often, people only let life happen to them instead of being proactive in attempting to shape the way things need to go and to be. Many peo ple never measure consequences nor think of the results of their own choic es and actions.

Yet, it is easy to expect that lack of purpose and of planning leads to inevi

There is no need for anyone to wake up suddenly to an unpleasant new re ality when a positive, enduring accom plishment could’ve been planned in ad vance. Unfortunately, many dreams are never realized simply because they are constantly being altered by the dreamer. You cannot reach a destination by check ing in the wrong map!

The healthy challenge is for one to seize each moment, not necessarily to remain there, but to continue moving farther ahead while grasping impacting,

new realities. Maintenance of the sta tus quo will never produce satisfaction; moving in the wrong direction will nev er lead to the right place.

People often wake up too late to rec ognize that their life was wasted for lack of proper planning, and on account of gross neglect of what brings lasting re sults and permanent fulfilment.

Avoid inaction and illegitimate ac tion if you wish to get somewhere. Don’t count on time alone, which may never be sufficient, or even available, nor on a future that is still so uncertain! The con sequences of inaction, or of delayed ac tion, can be destructive of life itself!

ble; take the necessary steps to see ideas fleshed-out, plans made concrete! Nev er stop in pressing on toward the mark. Forbid yourself to live aimlessly for lack ing good direction! Live each new day with a clear aim, and what you desire for yourself will come to pass in far greater measure than your expectations!

The life you may count on living, and more fully enjoying, is a life of action and of urgency, before it can become a life of legitimate leisure. You can’t con trol the outcome of much that happens, even as a result of your best efforts. But you can control your behaviour, your re actions, your judgments! Your attempts, which can lead to enduring satisfaction, must begin with the right step!

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 need ed for their business, and feel called to what they are doing, but cannot seem to prosper. They are managing to sur vive 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 un comfortable, like looking in the mir ror. Many businesses have the nec essary 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 self-con fidence, or listening to the echoes of discouraging, even demeaning words they have heard in the past.

Negative self-talk can be a formi dable 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 in ventor, innovator, visionary, or leader in any sphere – has had to overcome both fear and memories of past fail ures.

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 incandes cent bulb came only after failing hun dreds of times. If they had listened to their detractors, or lost confidence be cause of past failures, they would have stopped dead in their tracks.

Just as trying to drive a car by star ing in the rearview mirror, continually looking backward in life can severely af fect our ability to move forward. Jesus

Christ was speaking to some of His fol lowers about the importance of singleminded commitment to following Him. He said, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for ser vice 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 child

hood, memories of harsh, mean-spir ited 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, en abling 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” (Phi lippians 4:13). He also wrote, “And my God will meet all your needs accord ing to his glorious riches in Christ Je sus” (Philippians 4:19). If you believe the Lord has called you to a particular enterprise or cause, trust Him to pro vide what you need to succeed.

Confession: Good For Everyone’s Soul

Most experienced speakers understand communicating some of their personal failures can be endearing to an audience. The only problem is that to actually do that requires humility and transparency at a level where many people are unwilling to go. That is why I was so impressed in listening to Chip Ingram’s talk at a “Faith Incorporated” event we conducted in our city.

Speaking about the importance of personal integrity, Ingram confessed some of his personal shortcomings to his audience. He did not just reflect on incidents from the distant past, but also on some recent circumstances that he admittedly was not proud to acknowledge. Many of the listeners were surprised by his openness and candor as he confided to what was essentially a group of strangers.

Ingram’s sincere revelations were not only transparent, but also very instructive. As he told his story, citing his own failings to illustrate his focus on integrity, he did so in a way that served to provide a vivid example of humility for everyone in the meeting room. At the same time, it seemed as if he was granting his hearers permission to be genuine themselves, rather than hiding behind facades of pretense.

In the business world, we often strive to impress others by always attempting to cast ourselves in the most favorable light. We prefer to keep our personal sins and failures hidden in the shadows. What Ingram was doing, however, was applying an important biblical principle. Proverbs 28:13 teaches, “He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.”

Hopefully for Ingram, his openness enabled him to feel mercy from God as well as from the crowd. I know that for me, his account caused me to realize I have many failings of my own and have no room to cast stones or pronounce judgment on others.

Of course, there are many reasons for being reluctant to share our personal shortcomings and failures with others: embarrassment and shame are among them, but pride is perhaps the greatest inhibitor of all. We do not want other people to know our imperfections – despite our awareness that everyone is far from perfect. Nevertheless, pride drives us to try to prove to others that we are better than we really are.

It might help to consider two important admonitions we have from the Bible. The first is a simple but sobering declaration: “There is no one righteous, not even one” (Romans 3:10). The second also is found in the Old Testament book of wisdom: ”Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor” (Proverbs 18:12).

My own experience has taught me that we would be well-advised to heed this counsel from the Scriptures. If you have committed a personal sin at work, do not attempt to hide it. As difficult as it might seem, confession is usually the best course of action.

The wrongs we commit have an annoying way of revealing themselves, sometimes at the most inopportune moments. It might be wise to take a proactive approach, confessing failings candidly and in a timely manner, rather than waiting for them to be revealed in some other way – much to our disgrace.

5 Ways to Protect Yourself and Your Loved Ones This Holiday Season

(StatePoint) The holidays are right around the corner, and experts are al ready seeing a rise in respiratory illnesses like influenza (flu) and respiratory syncy tial virus (RSV). In addition, COVID-19 continues to be a serious health threat in the United States.

As you gather with family and friends this holiday season, remember that one of the most important gifts you can give your loved ones is the gift of health. For a healthier, happier season, the American Lung Association offers these five tips:

1. Get your COVID-19 and flu shots: The single best way to stay healthy and protect others is to be up to date on your recommended COVID-19 vaccinations and make sure all of your loved ones –from those aged 6 months to 100+ years – are also up to date on theirs. This in cludes the new COVID-19 booster shot, which is expected to provide protection against the most recent variants and sub variants. It’s also time for your annual flu shot. Staying current with all your vacci nations is key to protecting your health.

2. Keep your medications and mask

with you: If you are traveling, make sure to keep your regular medications and a mask with you (not in your checked lug gage). It is good to have a mask on hand if you are with someone who is immu

nocompromised and prefers you to wear one.

3. Consider testing: Before large gatherings, consider doing an at-home COVID-19 test as an added layer of

confidence that you are healthy. The av erage cost of a two-pack self-test at the drugstore is $25 and is covered by most insurance policies.

4. Wash your hands often: Scrub with soap and water for at least 20 sec onds. If you’re unable to wash your hands, using hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol is a good alterna tive. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, as it allows the germs on your hands to reach moist, porous surface tis sue where the germs can enter your body and cause infection.

5. Stay home if you’re sick: Stay home when you are feeling ill. If you have symptoms of COVID-19 or flu, you should test immediately and con tact your healthcare provider if you are at high risk for severe illness to discuss possible treatment options.

With COVID-19, the flu and oth er seasonal illnesses spreading nation wide, take steps to protect yourself and those you love to make this a happy and healthy holiday season for all.

Must-Have Tools for Entertaining With Ease This Holiday Season

(StatePoint) ‘Tis the season for gath erings galore. Whether you’re an all-star entertainer or a first-time host, having the right tools will set you up for success— meaning you can spend less time in the kitchen and more time with loved ones. Here are a few must-haves to add to your holiday shopping list:

Classy and Creative Cocktails

Create memorable cocktails or mock tails that everyone will be talking about with uniquely shaped craft ice. Tovolo offers a variety of craft ice molds to fit every oc casion—from spheres and sports balls to novelty and holiday ornament shapes. The easy-to-use, durable, stackable molds are dishwasher safe for easy clean-up. Plus, the slow-melting shapes keep drinks cool for longer. So, drop them in for fun and festive drinks at your next gathering.

Pops in a Pinch

Popsicles aren’t just for summertime. In fact, they’re a great option for a holiday crowd since you can prep them well in ad vance, and they make for a light dessert af ter a night of feasting. With Tovolo Stack able Pop Molds, simply puree some fruit – strawberries, kiwis, etc. – pour the mix ture into the molds, stack them in the freez

er, and voilà, you’ve got a delightful treat that basically made itself. Better yet, guests can add the fruity pops to a glass of cham pagne or cocktail of choice to add flavor and keep drinks cool.

Table-Worthy Tools

When hosting a dinner party, dishes will inevitably pile up in the sink. One way to cut down on dirty dishes is to use a set of

kitchen utensils that is both stylish and at tractive, so you can go from the stovetop to the dining table without needing to dirty any additional tools. Another tip is to make the meal family style, which allows your guests to choose what they want and reduces the need to portion out individual servings, ultimate ly giving you more time to enjoy the party.

Spatulas That Make You Smile

From cookie batters to mashed pota toes, everyone needs a quality spatula to whip up their favorite holiday dishes. And now you can add both fun and function to your feast with Spatulart Spatulas featur ing double-sided holiday designs and puns. With a nylon core, these high-quality spatu las provide strength for the heaviest mixing jobs and silicone edges that remain flexi ble for easy scraping. Plus their FSC-certi fied wood handle makes them an environ mentally-conscious way to add a touch of whimsy to the kitchen roster.

Functional and Fashionable Bowls

Despite the name, mixing bowls can be one of the most versatile kitchen tools, used for mixing, prep, storage, and if you choose a stylish design like stainless steel, even serving! Why dirty multiple dishes when you can opt for one-bowl recipes? When it comes to entertaining, it’s best to work smarter, not harder.

Having the right tools makes all the dif ference when you’re preparing to be the host with the most. Be sure to equip your self right for a season of easy and festive holiday prep, and don’t forget that when it comes to hosting, versatility is the name of the game.

FAU Announced Estate Gift Commitments from Longtime FAU Benefactors

Florida Atlantic University’s Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters and the S. E. Wimberly Library recently cele brated the announcement of significant estate gift commitments from longtime FAU benefactors Howard Weiner, M.D. and Judith Weiner. Their generosity will enhance support to the existing Howard and Judith Weiner Spirit of America En dowed Advancement Fund and will estab lish two new endowed funds.

The Howard and Judith Weiner Spirit of America Advancement Fund supports three fellowships for advanced graduate students completing a residency, utiliz ing the Marvin & Sybil Weiner Spirit of America Collection at the FAU Libraries. These fellowships are advertised to ad vanced graduate students both national ly and within FAU, which support a joint venture between FAU Libraries and the Huntington Library in San Marino, Cal ifornia. The core mission of the fund is to provide support for events and pro grams through the Department of Histo ry to promote the Marvin & Sybil Weiner Spirit of America Collection.

The Marvin and Sybil Weiner Spirit of America Collection consists of more than 13,000 books, pamphlets, govern ment publications, newspapers and seri als, including rare works dating to as early as the 16th century. Originally inspired to emulate the personal libraries of men like

Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, Marvin Weiner (Howard’s fa ther) spent a lifetime amassing this distin guished collection which was donated to FAU in 2006.

“We are thrilled with the FAU Librar ies for its superb stewardship of our fa ther’s na tionally acclaimed collec tion,” said Dr. Weiner. “We are equal ly appre ciative of the Col lege of Arts and Letters for im plemen tation of programs and activities that ex pose young through old to our country’s unique heritage, a compelling mission so dear to our dad. We are also proud to pro mote the humanities and the outstanding theater programs. It is our privilege to sup port FAU in perpetuity in thanks for hav ing immensely enriched our lives.”

The Howard and Judith Weiner Spirit of America Endowment Fund will be es

tablished as an endowment to enhance the Marvin and Sybil Weiner Spirit of Amer ica Collection within the S. E. Wimberly Library, including expanded community outreach efforts.

“The Spirit of America Collection is a priceless historical research gem that the FAU Libraries is pro foundly fortunate to have been en trusted by the Wein er family to house, curate, develop, promote and share with the south Florida region and the world,” said Linda Maire Golian-Lui, Ed.D., dean of the FAU Libraries. “It is our honor to work with distinguished scholars, such as those associated with the Huntington Library, to fully utilize the potential of this collec tion while discovering new treasures with in this remarkable collection. The passion and ambassadorship that Howard and Ju dith Weiner have for the Spirit of Ameri

ca Collection will be well-supported with their Spirit of America Endowed Ad vancement Fund for a lifetime of research ers. I cannot thank them enough for en trusting the FAU Libraries with furthering the vision of their father, supporting their passion for the Spirit of America Collec tion, and for their philanthropic support for the FAU Libraries.”

Generosity from the Weiners also will create the Howard and Judith Weiner The atre Lab Endowment Fund which will es tablish an endowment within the Theatre Lab, FAU’s professional theater compa ny located within the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, to foster a connection with FAU theater students in the Department of Theatre and Dance.

“We are blessed to have Judy and Howard Weiner’s continued generous support of our academic programs in arts and humanities, and their special commit ment to the Department of History and our thriving theater programs,” said Mi chael Horswell, Ph.D., dean of the Dor othy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Let ters. “Their gifts will support students and faculty into perpetuity, ensuring the highquality humanities programs and theater performances for which FAU has become known, and enabling the careers of hun dreds of students who wish to make a dif ference in the world with a liberal arts ed ucation.”

Boca Ballet brings annual ‘The Nutcracker’ performance to Olympic Heights Theater

Rodgers

& Hammerstein’s ‘Cinderella’ opens this weekend at Boca’s Wick Theatre

By Dale King

A tale of love and fantasy comes to Boca Raton starting this weekend.

The Wick Theatre is opening its stage to the timeless classic, Cinderella, just in time for the holidays.

Written by the legendary Broadway songwriters Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, who brought to the stage such musical classics as The Sound of Music, Oklahoma! and South Pacific, the fairytale is filled with marvelous melodies and heartfelt lyrics.

An enchanting experience for the entire family, Cinderella runs from Nov. 25 to Dec. 24, with evening shows on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and matinees on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tickets are $79-$99 and are available at www.thewick.org or by calling the box office at 561995-2333.

“More than just a glittering ball gown and glass slippers, this stunning adaptation was nominated for nine Tony Awards,” said Marilynn A. Wick, executive managing producer. “Presented in the inimitable Wick style, with elaborate costumes and sumptuous sets, this beloved fairytale is the perfect fit for the holiday season.”

One of musical theatre’s most popular titles, Cinder-

ella was originally written for television, making its debut in 1957 and starring Julie Andrews. It was then remade in versions starring Leslie Ann Warren (1965) and later with pop singer Brandy (1997).

In 2013, the show made its long-overdue Broadway debut with a new book by Douglas Carter Beane, while retaining the cherished score including “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible/ It’s Possible,” “Ten Minutes Ago” and “Do I Love You Because You’re Beautiful?”

For this production, The Wick welcomes back Broadway Director Norb Joerder, who has helmed more than a dozen shows at the Wick, including last season’s blockbuster Gypsy. Also on board are Music Director-to-thestars Bobby Peaco and the choreographer for this season’s Milk and Honey, Oren Korenblum.

Stepping into the famous glass slippers are two acclaimed performers -- Mallory Newbrough, who just won her second Carbonell Award and whose many stage performances include Belle in Beauty and the Beast at Wick, and Daniella Mass, who starred as Eva Peron in The Wick’s production of Evita.

The Wick Theater is located at 7901 N. Federal Highway in Boca Raton.

The Pap Corps de rives its name from Dr. George Papanicolaou, a pio neer in cytopathology and early cancer detection, who introduced the world to the revolutionary ‘Pap’ test to detect cervical cancer. A small group of women began the organization to support his efforts, and over the de cades it has grown into an organization of more than 20,000 men and women in more than 50 chapters who raise funds to support research for all types of cancers.

Although the Sailfish led for 38 minutes of the game, PBA had to grind it out near the end of the match up. The ‘Fish seemed ready to close it out after a made free throw by Marcus Montalvo made it a 13-point lead. The Panthers didn’t go down easy, forcing turnovers on the defensive end to cut the PBA lead to five. Fortunately for the ‘Fish, they took care of business at the free throw line down the stretch to win the game, 63-56.

PBA shot its best in the first half. The Sailfish shot 50 percent from the field, including 11 points from Coo per. The Panthers did force PBA in to coughing up the ball nine times, but the ‘Fish matched them by forc ing nine turnovers on the other end.

A made layup by Aleksa Rakic at the buzzer gave PBA a 31-20 win at the break.

The Sailfish struggled to get their shot to fall in the second half, shoot ing 33 percent in the second half. PBA did clean it up in terms of taking care of the ball while continuing to heckle the Panthers on defense, forcing nine more turnovers.

The honor marks the first career se lections for Robine and Stephens. Robine’s all-district selection adds to her season ac colades, in cluding be ing named to the FAU Invitation al all-tour nament team.

Owls Fall to Blue Raiders in Road Finale

Suarez, Johnson Earn Football Academic All-District Honors

Kicker Morgan Suarez and wide re ceiver Tony Johnson have been named to the 2022 Academic All-District Team® for football, as selected by the College Sports Communications (CSC formerly CoSIDA), on Tuesday. Both players are red shirt freshmen in their second year at Florida Atlantic.

The Florida Atlantic University football team (5-6, 4-3 C-USA) fell to Middle Tennessee (6-5, 3-4 C-USA) by a 49-21 final on Saturday in Ten nessee.

The FAU defense had its hands full from the opening drive of the afternoon. MT went 75 yards in six plays on the game’s first pos session to open the scoring. The Owls responded with an 86-yard drive, capped off by a N’Kosi Per ry sneak at the one-yard line. Perry connected with Je’Quan Burton for 43 yards earlier in the drive to set up the score.

The Blue Raiders missed a short field goal on their next drive before putting together three straight pos sessions that ended in touchdowns. Down 28-7 late in the first half, FAU got a big play from Jaleel McRae to flip the momentum going into the in termission. The freshman linebacker intercepted MT quarterback Chase Cunningham and returned it inside the five-yard line. A few plays later, Larry McCammon bulldozed his way into the endzone to cut the deficit in half, 28-14.

Middle Tennessee regrouped and resumed its scoring run with anoth er TD drive to start the third quar ter. FAU counterpunched when Per ry found a wide-open Jahmal Edrine down the sideline. The 45-yard catch and run made it 35-21. Again though, the home side needed just seven plays on the ensuing drive to go back up by 21.

The Owl defense was able to force the first Blue Raider punt of the game late in the third quarter. Perry then hit LaJohntay Wester with a 31-yard pass that set FAU up at

the one-yard line to start the fourth quarter. Two plays later, in an at tempt to replicate the first quarter QB sneak from the goal line, Per ry tried to punch it in, but after re view, had the ball stripped and re covered by MT in the end zone for a touchback.

MT delivered the dagger later in the quarter with their seventh scor ing drive of the night to make it 4921.

“We didn’t do anything well to night and that starts with us as coach es. That starts with me. I need to make sure we’re prepared as coach es, and we need to have a better plan for our guys,” said Hagerty Family Head Football Coach Willie Taggart. “We didn’t play smart football with all the penalties that we had. Two of their touchdown drives we had them stopped and selfish penalties extend ed the drive. We have no choice now. We have to put this one behind us and go play the game of our life next week.”

Perry finished 19-for-36 with 325 passing yards and one passing score. Edrine pulled in six catches for a career-high 109 yards. Burton posted 94 yards receiving followed by 74 from Wester Armani-Eli Adams racked up 10 tackles – a new career-high for the redshirt junior Justin McKithen and Dwight Toombs tied with seven tackles each – Toombs also had two pass break ups

The Owls will have one more op portunity to become bowl eligible. Saturday, they close the regular sea son at home against Western Ken tucky. Kickoff is scheduled for noon.

The Aca demic All-Dis trict award rec ognizes the nation’s top student-ath letes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. The CSC Academic AllAmerica® program separately recogniz es football honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, and NAIA. To be nominated, student-athletes must be at least a sophomore academically and ath letically, an important starter or reserve and hold at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average.

Suarez has connected on nine of 13 field goal attempts this season. The na tive of Wellington, Fla. is 38-for-38 on PATs. After going 3-for-3, including a 42 and 43-yarder in the season-opening win over Charlotte, Suarez was named C-USA Special Teams Player of the Week. A soph omore academ ically, Suarez holds a 3.74 GPA while ma joring in PreBusiness.

Johnson walked-on as a freshman in 2021 before earning a schol arship at this season’s fall camp. He’s racked up 12 catches for 226 yards and three receiving touchdowns so far in 2022. A Business Management major from Oc ala, Fla., Johnson sports a 3.97 GPA.

Academic All-District® honorees ad vance to the CSC Academic All-Ameri ca® ballot. First-, second- and third-team Academic All-America® honorees will be announced in December.

Expert Orthopedic Care Close to Home Isn’t Just for Athletes

If you’re suffering from an orthopedic problem — whether it’s a bad back, a sore knee or shoulder, a sports injury or arthritis — even a short drive can make the pain worse. Thanks to two convenient Baptist Health Orthopedic Care locations in Palm Beach County, you have easy access to the experts who have the experience, technology and facilities to treat your problem quickly.

“Seeing a professional sooner rather than later can often prevent more complex problems down the road,” says orthopedic surgeon Anthony Miniaci, M.D., deputy chief medical executive of Baptist Health Orthopedic Care. “Most orthopedic issues don’t require surgery, but whether yours does or doesn’t, it’s our goal to get you back to a pain-free lifestyle.”

The team at Baptist Health Orthopedic Care includes orthopedic surgeons specialized in joint replacement, foot and ankle, trauma and sports medicine, primary care sports medicine physicians and physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists. With a wide range of expertise, the team can handle everything from the most common injuries to the most complex.

With increasing life expectancy, an accident or injury resulting in an orthopedic problem is almost inevitable at some point. Among the most common orthopedic concerns are sprains and strains, muscle and tendon

tears, fractures and other traumatic injuries, and arthritis. In addition, back pain causes more visits to physicians than any other orthopedic problem. Some conditions are caused by repetitive motion and wear and tear on the body, while others could be the result of a congenital, or birth problem.

With the most advanced imaging and other diagnostic tests, doctors at Baptist Health Orthopedic Care can quickly pinpoint the issue and address it. Nonsurgical and minimally invasive options are explored first, but when surgery is indicated, each patient receives an individualized treatment plan. Services also include regenerative medicine, such as stem cell treatment, pain-relieving injections and physical therapy.

“We have a dedicated team that is known for caring for some of the country’s most famous professional and collegiate athletes,” Dr. Miniaci says. “But you don’t need to be a pro to receive the same care. We are here to help diagnose your problem and promote quick healing.”
