Brain Bowl’s Alzheimer activist attorney Pamela Higer-Polani, Gary Lesser representing his law fi rm, and the School District of Palm Beach County are this year’s honorees at AACY’s Community Caregiver Awards Brunch.
This annual breakfast event for American Association of Caregiving is “is dedicated to honoring remarkable individuals who selflessly support our communities to raise funds and awareness for the vital work of supporting Caregiving Youth.” according to the announcement.
The annual breakfast is 10:30 a.m. Nov. 18 at Broken Sound Club. Tickets are $100 before Nov. 13 and $120 afterward at https://aacy.org/ events/aacy-community-caregivers-awards-breakfast/
Based in Boca Raton since 2006 and with an international reach, AACY provides direct services supporting caregiving youth in 23 middle and 22 high schools here and U.S. partner organizations who take care of a family member who is chronically ill, injured, elderly or disabled.
“The support of Caregiving Youth and their families would not be possible without the generous support of our greater community,” founder and president Dr. Connie Siskowski told the Boca Raton Tribune. “We selected these three awardees because of their involvement in many aspects of the community in addition to Caregiving Youth. We wanted the opportunity to give back to them. Attorney Pam Polani constantly extends herself to help others, even beyond her legal practice, to those supporting issues with and surrounding Alzheimer’s disease. Likewise, the law offices of Lesser, Lesser, Landy and Smith, following the tradition of Joseph Lesser, their founder, have a broad philanthropic reach locally within Florida and nationally. The School District of Palm Beach County has a major investment in children. Back in 2006, the District took the risk of being the first in the U.S. to recognize and support their students who are also family caregivers.”
AACY hosted “Game Night,” their annual version of “Family Feud” at the Biergarten as part of Boca Chamber’s annual Festival Days nonprofits events in August. Eight enthusiastic teams wearing matching T-shirts competed to answer trivia questions.

For many years I have held the conviction that the “sacred/secular” distinctions we sometimes hear about are not supported anywhere in the Bible. Clergy and missionaries may have been given specific roles, along with the necessary gifts and abilities to fulfill them. However, in God’s sight, the job of an executive, sales representative, administrative assistant, manager or clerk is just as “holy” and a calling by the Lord as religious professionals working under the umbrella of the Church.
Earlier this year the senior pastor of the church I attend affirmed this truth, presenting a message he called “Gaining the Respect of Coworkers.” I am taking the liberty of using his key points and expanding upon them. Because being respected by coworkers is crucial if we are to be effective as “Christ’s ambassadors,” as described in 2 Corinthians 5:20.
It has often been said that we must “be good news before we can share good news.” In other words, we have little or no positive impact with what we say, regardless of how true we are to the Scriptures, if our workplace behavior is characterized by unethical behavior, dishonesty, self-centeredness, laziness, and lack of compassion, among other things. As Proverbs 22:1 says, “A good name is to be more desired than great riches.” Here are some biblical principles for gaining and maintaining the respect of people with whom we work every day:

Demonstrating love toward others. The term ‘love’ can mean many things, but to show love toward others reflects God’s work in us. This includes exhibiting genuine concern and compassion toward others, even putting their interests ahead of our own when necessary. “Now about your love for one another we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other” (1 Thessalonians 4:9). “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18).
Minding our own business. People who are constantly meddling in the concerns of others without being asked are, at best, great annoyances. We may have genuine interest others, but that does not mean prying into areas where we have not been invited “Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life. You should mind your own business” (1 Thessalonians 4:11). “They [young widows] also learn to be idle, as they go around from house to house and not merely idle, but also gossips and busybodies” (1 Timothy 5:13).
Working diligently. Few things generate more resentment than a coworker who does not carry his or her own share of the load. When others observe laziness in an individual, their attitudes toward that person cannot help but take a negative turn. “And work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders” (1 Thessalonians 4:11-12). “The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor” (Proverbs 21:25).
Being dependable. In the workplace, especially when deadlines are tight and critical steps must be completed, it is refreshing and encouraging to know the ones on whom we can rely. Those of us who follow Jesus Christ should be people like that, dependable to do our share – even more than our share – to achieve the desired goals and objectives. “If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone” (Romans 12:18). “A faithful employee is as invigorating as a cool day in the hot summertime. He refreshes the soul of his boss” (Proverbs 25:13, The Living Bible).

Reflection/Discussion Questions
Have you encountered – or even believed – the so-called “sacred/secular” false dichotomy? If so, why? How can work in the business and professional world be a sacred calling, as much as that of a pastor, priest or missionary?
Among the people you work with, who do you respect the most – and why? On the other hand, can you think
of a coworker who does not command your respect? Why is that?
Do you agree with the statement that we must, “be good news before we can share good news”? How have you seen this manifested in the workplace
Which of the steps for earning the respect of coworkers resonates most strongly with you? Can you think of any other biblically based principles for gaining and maintaining the respect of others?
NOTE: If you have a Bible and would like to read more, consider the following passages:
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12; Ephesians 2:10; Colossians 3:17, 23-24; 2 Timothy 3:17
Challenge for This Week
We all have blind spots. We might not be aware of actions or behaviors that could be impediments in trying to build positive relationships with others. This week might be a good time to do an honest self-appraisal.
Are you demonstrating genuine love and concern for people you work with; minding your own business – not meddling in the affairs of others; known for your diligence at work; and proving to be dependable, a member of the team that others can count on?If you find it necessary, speak with someone (or more than one) who can give you advice on how to make needed improvements.
West Palm Beach, FL – The Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties, a not-for-profit organization that leads partnerships with donors, nonprofits and community members to solve the region’s chronic and emerging issues, announced today that Sherry and Tom Barrat of Singer Island are the recipients of the 2025 McIntosh Award. The prestigious award, which is named after Winsome and Michael McIntosh, who founded the Community Foundation in 1972, is presented annually to an individual or organization who has made significant contributions to the community. The Community Foundation will honor the Barrats at its 12th Annual Founders Luncheon at
the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts on February 26, 2025.
“Tom and Sherry’s long-standing leadership and investment in our community has and will open doors to higher education for deserving high school students,” said Jeffrey A. Stoops, Chair of the Board of Directors for the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties. “Being that this year’s Founders Luncheon marks the 40th anniversary of the Community Foundation’s scholarship program, we are proud to celebrate the Barrats, who truly epitomize what it means to empower those who will shape our future.”
The Barrats are long-time supporters of local nonprofit organizations, but their particular interest in scholarships began in more recent years thanks to the push of their grandchildren. Following the creation of a “Thanksgiving Fund” in 2015, through which the Barrats enabled each of their family members to donate $1,000 annually to the charity of their choice, two of their youngest grandchildren proposed to pool their contributions in order to give a larger scholarship to a local high school senior. In 2022, the couple formally set up the Barrat Scholarship Fund with the Community Foundation, focusing on local students majoring in computer science, artificial intelligence, or applied data science.
“It was important to us to make a big difference in a few lives,” said Tom Barrat. “In our view, it’s even better when gifts are given from people in this community to people in this community.” Sherry Barrat, who served on the Community Foundation’s Board of Directors from 2014-2023, including three years as Chair, added: “We are honored to receive the McIntosh Award because it shines a light on the impact anyone can have on a student’s future through the powerful combination of the Community Foundation’s Scholarship Program and the generosity of our fellow donors.”
“Tom and Sherry Barrat are true trailblazers who are making a real impact on the local level,” said Danita DeHaney, President & CEO of the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties. “Each year at our Founder’s Luncheon, we highlight those who are making a meaningful difference and I can’t think of a more deserving pair. The Barrats embody the essence of investing in the community for the greater good. We look forward to celebrating their commitment to opening doors to higher education at the luncheon.”
Established in 2014 as the Founder’s Award Luncheon, the Community Foundation’s signature annual event was launched as an opportunity to convene
donors and nonprofit partners on important issues facing the region and to celebrate their collective impact. In addition to raising awareness, the Founders Luncheon showcases the important of philanthropy with a special award ceremony. The Founders Luncheon will be held at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts’ Cohen Pavilion in West Palm Beach on Wednesday, February 28, 2024 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. For additional information, tickets and sponsorship information, please visit https://founders.yourcommunityfoundation.org.
The Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties is a nonprofit organization that leads philanthropy locally. The foundation provides charitable expertise and vehicles to increase the investment options on behalf of individuals, family foundations, and corporations. Since 1972, the foundation has distributed over $200 million in grants and scholarships aimed at closing the area’s opportunity gaps.
With its vast network of donors and nonprofit partners, the foundation supports initiatives that improve youth and education, economic opportunity, thriving communities, and crisis preparation and response. Learn more at https:// yourcommunityfoundation.org.

Boca Raton, FL – Storms bring more than wind and rain during the Atlantic hurricane season. Unwanted pests crawl into our lives. With electricity outages, standing water and damaged structures, urban pests find ample opportunity to invade homes, businesses and schools.
“The summer months of May through November are prime time for both storm activity and pests in Florida.” said Johnalyn Gordon, a postdoctoral associate in urban entomology at the UF/IFAS Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center.
Gordon, who specializes in urban pests, is also an instructor at Pest Management University, a cooperative training program between the pest management industry, UF IFAS, and the Florida Department of Agricultural Consumer Sciences. She emphasizes that while storm damage is a primary concern, understanding how to manage pest-related issues can prevent
headaches and potential infestations later. Here are Gordon’s go-to insights on what to look out for and how to manage pests after a storm:
Rainfall can create breeding grounds for mosquitoes
Several species of mosquitoes in Florida will breed in small containers of standing water. This includes the mosquito species that are vectors for the pathogens that cause dengue, chikungunya and Zika viruses. They don’t need much water, so these can include spare tires, plant pots and saucers, bird baths and garbage cans.
Tip: Before the storm, survey your property for anything that might collect rain, and dump water out following rain from potential sources can interrupt mosquitoes’ life cycle and prevent them from using those containers to breed.
Flooding promotes pests on the move
Heavy rains create flooding, signaling insects and vertebrate pests to seek higher and drier grounds. Precipitation drives pests like cockroaches, spiders, and rodents indoors in search of a safe space. Floods also cause red imported fire ants to form floating “rafts,” which can pose a painful hazard for anyone cleaning up after the storm.
The red imported fire ant is a prominent pest ant in Florida, most recognizable for its nasty sting, but takes a unique approach to dealing with flooding. These ants, which live in colonies of tens of thousands of individuals, nest in the ground, and when flooding occurs, will form “rafts” by interlock-
ing their bodies and floating on the surface of the water until they find higher ground. People can encounter these fire ant rafts when cleaning up flooded areas or when rafts come in contact with a structure.
Vertebrate pests like rodents and wildlife can also be displaced by flooding, which can make them more likely to enter a structure.
Tip: Ensure doors, windows and any storm-damaged areas are well sealed to block pests from entering your home or business. Be cautious when dealing with fire ant rafts in flooded areas. After the storm passes, cover any potential entry points caused by damage to prevent pests from coming inside and infesting a structure.
Don’t maintain moisture
Flooding can also lead to moisture problems in a structure, which can lead to pest problems later down the road, Gordon said.
In many cases, moisture and pests go hand in hand. One of the primary examples of this is subterranean termites, which will readily target and feed on water-damaged wood.
Being aware of potential moisture issues following storms and prioritizing moisture control in the structure is critical to help prevent subterranean termite infestations. If termites are discovered, the best course of action would be to reach out to a professional pest control company as soon as possible.
Trash buildup can be a fly magnet
In the aftermath of a storm, accu-
mulations of garbage due to service impacts in waste management and often large amounts of spoiled food due to power outages can attract several different fly species, including house flies, phorid flies, and fruit flies, which will readily feed on refuse and decaying material.
Tip: To prevent a buildup of flies, place organic waste such as spoiled food in a bag and secure tightly. Then, place in a trash topped with a tightly fitting lid until trash can be disposed of or picked up.
Prevention is the key
When it comes to dealing with pest issues following a major storm or hurricane, prevention as well as quick action following the storm can go a long way to preventing or reducing associated pest problems.
“It’s important that great care is taken if pesticides are applied and that all label directions are followed, particularly as they relate to applications near water or to rain-soaked areas,” said Gordon.
The mission of the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) is to develop knowledge relevant to agricultural, human and natural resources and to make that knowledge available to sustain and enhance the quality of human life. With more than a dozen research facilities, 67 county Extension offices, and award-winning students and faculty in the UF College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, UF/IFAS brings science-based solutions to the state’s agricultural and natural resources industries, and all Florida residents.
(StatePoint) Falling just a little behind in math class can have a snowball effect, making each new concept even more diffi cult to master. Here’s what you can do to help ensure your child thrives in the classroom now, and in the years to come:
Math courses can move quickly. Encourage your student to supplement the curriculum with outside educational content to stay one step ahead of the game. Casio’s library of free resources is a good place to start. It includes workbooks, calculator-specifi c activities, test prep and more, all of which is designed to help develop reasoning and critical thinking skills needed to succeed not only in STEM subjects, but in all classes. To access these resources, visit casioeducation.com.
Supply your child with a calculator that empowers their learning, such as the fx-9750GIII graphing calculator from Casio. With Natural Textbook Display and an intuitive icon menu, it’s incredibly easy to use. Its over 2,900 functions include graph plotting, probability distribution, vector arithmetic and spreadsheets, and it is capable of
programming in CASIO Basic and MicroPython. And because the model is approved for the SAT, PSAT, ACT and AP tests, it can be your child’s go-to tool for everyday use, for test prep, important exams and more.
Math is all too often taught in a way that removes any element of fun from
the equation. Acquainting your student with recreational math can help them form a whole new relationship with the subject, one based not on dread, but on enjoyment. Recreational math encompasses puzzles, games and even magic tricks.
These days, there are plenty of YouTube channels and online creators dedicated to the delightful side of mathematics. Encouraging your student to spend some time exploring that content might inspire them to spend even more time with math, such as by joining their school’s math team or other STEM-related club.
By providing your student with the right tools, resources and mindset, you can help them not just keep pace with their math classes, but prepare them for success in college and the workforce.
(StatePoint) Nearly one-third of U.S. homes are at a high risk of natural disaster, according to CoreLogic.
It’s essential to know what to do before a natural disaster strikes and how to navigate the aftermath. Freddie Mac is offering homeowners and renters these tips:
Contact Your Insurer and Mortgage Servicer
Whether you rent or own, one of the first people you contact should be your insurance agent or mortgage servicer.
If you’re a renter and your rental unit or property sustains damage, contact your renters insurance company to file a claim.
Most policies cover damage from tornadoes, fires, hail and non-flood related water damage. You also should inform your property manager. Sharing pictures of damage may help them make insurance claims, if necessary. To ensure everyone is on the same page, keep a written record of any communications about plans to address damage.
If you’re a homeowner, call your homeowners insurance agent. In addition to assessing your property’s condition and reimbursing repair and replacement costs, many policies also cover additional living expenses if you are displaced, such as temporary housing, food, pet boarding and other household expenses. It’s also critical to let your mortgage company or servicer know about your current circumstances and to learn about available disaster relief options.
Disasters can stress your finances, but there are ways to get help.
If you’re struggling to make rent following a natural disaster, talk to your property manager about flexible payments. You should also look at your lease agreement for a rental abatement clause, which may allow you to pause or make partial rent payments if your unit is dam-
aged. As you rebuild, you may also be eligible for programs like federal tax relief and financial assistance for energy bills.
If you’re a homeowner, there are relief options available to help if you’re at risk of missing a mortgage payment due to a natural disaster. One such option is mortgage forbearance, which allows you to reduce or pause your payments for a specified period. Keep in mind that if you choose this option, you should be prepared for when forbearance ends and normal payments resume. You should also refer to the information about disaster assistance and resources provided by entities like FEMA, DisasterAssistance. gov, The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and American Red Cross.
After a natural disaster, you may be a target for scam artists or predatory lenders seeking out people in distress. Help avoid becoming a victim by being aware of common schemes. These include high-interest loans for repairs, which may offer short-term relief, but end up costing you more in the long term. You should also be wary when prepaying contracts for repairs. Don’t authorize any payments until all work is completed and you’re satisfied with the final product. Finally, don’t
provide personal information to anyone claiming to be a government employee or disaster relief professional without verifying their identity. Remember that government employees will never ask you for financial information, such as a bank account number.
If you believe you’ve been a victim of a scam, report it immediately. First, call your creditors to cancel your credit cards. You can also request that creditors receive your written consent before changing your mailing address or sending a replacement credit card. Then, contact the credit bureaus to freeze your credit reports so that there’s no activity unless you approve it. Finally, report the scam to consumer protection agencies like the Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice so that the culprit can’t strike again.

After a natural disaster strikes and you and your loved ones are safe and accounted for, getting on the path to financial recovery is critical. Whether you are a homeowner or renter, there are resources to help you get back on your feet.

The Palm Beaches (DTPB), in partnership with CareerSource Palm Beach County, will host a two-day county-wide hospitality and tourism job fair to help hospitality partners fill vacancies before the busy tourism season begins.

Job seekers can expect more than 20 employer booths from hotels, restaurants, attractions, and more each day, offering jobs ranging from seasonal part-time to full-time with benefits and paid time off.

Boca Raton, FL – More than 38 million Americans live with diabetes. About 90% to 95% of those diagnosed have type 2 diabetes, while another nearly 98 million have prediabetes. In Florida, more than 2 million people are living with the chronic disease.
According to the Office of Minority Health and the Centers for Disease Control, Hispanics are 70% more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes and 1.3 times more likely to die and suffer complications from it than non-Hispanic whites.
Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by the inability to regulate insulin, which results in high blood glucose levels. Type 2 diabetes is generally caused by lifestyle factors. Some of the most important risk factors to be aware of are obesity and physical inactivity. In Hispanics, researchers also found that genetics may play a factor. Certain genes related to type 2 diabetes are more common in Hispanics as is a genetic predisposition to insulin resistance.
Healthy Diet: It is important to maintain an active lifestyle and include lean proteins such as chicken, fish or turkey in your diet. Eating nutrient-rich vegetables such as broccoli, green beans and carrots, along with a balanced portion of carbohydrates like brown rice, pasta or sweet potatoes, can enhance your overall well-being.
Exercise: It’s recommended that adults get at least 150 minutes a week
of moderate-intensity activity such as brisk walking for 20 minutes each day and at least two days a week of muscle-strengthening activities. This exercise can assist in reducing sudden increases in blood sugar levels.
Monitor Blood Glucose Levels: Regularly monitoring blood sugar levels
ers. Talk to your employer about programs that may be available to you to help manage and even improve your type 2 diabetes like UnitedHealthcare’s Level2 program. The Level2 program helps empower eligible participants with type 2 diabetes with expert knowledge, wearable technology, real-time data and personalized coaching. The pro-
may be important for individuals with diabetes. Utilizing a continuous glucose monitor is often highly recommended. Many people now have access to a variety of wellness programs and technologies, including virtual care options, through their health plans and employ-
gram aims to help reduce blood sugar levels and help members even work toward remission. A recent study shows 73% of people enrolled in Level2 had meaningful improvement in their A1C levels.
Manage Stress: Managing stress levels is crucial for individuals with diabetes since prolonged stress releases hormones that can lead to an increase in blood sugar levels. That is why it is important to incorporate effective stress management techniques such as meditation, yoga or even regular walks, which can also potentially lower blood sugar levels.
People with type 2 diabetes who sleep poorly may have more insulin resistance and trouble regulating their blood sugar. Sleep management can lower blood sugar, boost energy, reduce stress, and improve mood throughout the day.
Medications: When diet and exercise are not enough, it could be beneficial to consider medication to regulate blood glucose levels. While insulin is generally required for individuals with type 1 diabetes, a range of other medication options are available for individuals with type 2 diabetes, including GLP-1s.
As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, it is important to raise awareness and take action to address the disproportionate impact of diabetes on the Hispanic community. By considering these tips, we can greatly enhance the management and outcomes of type 2 diabetes and strive for a future where all communities enjoy equal opportunities for well-being and longevity.

Like their special guests, Boca Raton YouTubers A.J. and Big Justice, the Florida Atlantic Owls lowered the “Boom” on Wagner Saturday night in a 41-10 win at FAU Stadium. And they’ll have a week to rest, mend and prepare for a major AAC game against North Texas on Oct. 12.
“Everything we did, we needed,” head coach Tom Herman said.
The Owls (2-3) scored on the second play of the game and put up 17 points in the first 18:08 before going flat until halftime and nearly allowing the Seahawks to tie the score. But under redshirt backup QB Kasen Weisman, FAU exploded again in the second half, scoring 24 consecutive points – mostly with backup players, on the ground – with relative ease.
“We took a step,” head coach Herman said. “I know who we were playing, but I also know we got our butts kicked last week, and the last time we were in this stadium, we put about two quarters together. It was pretty darn good. And then in this one, we started back, especially offensively. That was really good to see, but then for some reason, we stopped doing our job … and we got hit with quite a bit of adversity in the second quarter, and our guys responded.”
Starter Cam Fancher was 9-of-12 for 150 yards passing (one INT) and 7 yards rushing before he was pulled for Weisman
after a thumb injury in the second quarter.
After playing poorly in the second quarter, including throwing an INT, the Colorado transfer Weisman got his first collegiate touchdown at 12:53 in the fourth quarter on a hard-earned 4-yard run, had 98 yards passing and 15 yards rushing.
“The second quarter started out rocky,” Weisman said. “I made a couple of good throws, but just gotta learn to throw the ball away. Don’t make stupid mistakes, this isn’t high school, it’s college football. But, yeah, I was proud of
the way I came out in the second half and how our team fought.”
“I couldn’t have scripted this any better,” Herman said. “Young quarterback goes in, does not play well the first couple of drives, but he responds at halftime.”
Despite some jitters and his initial struggle, Weisman said he confidence grew with playing time. “This was kind of a ‘I do belong here’ kind of game,” he said,
The Owls amassed 315 yards on the ground and 257 in the air, led by RB C.J.
Campbell Jr. (145 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries) and Zuberi Mobley (77 yards and one TD on 11 carries). Backups Xavier Terrell (4-for-34), Gemani Sands (5-for-22 and a TD) and Kaden Shields-Dutton (4-for-19) took over the second half, along with a host of secondand third-stringers.
“It felt great to get everybody in the game,” said Campbell, a redshirt junior transfer from Florida State. “We were dominating the run and making sure we made those first downs. This shows the young guys that you’ve got to be patient. Sometimes it doesn’t happen right way, but sometimes that patience works out.”
“I think we’ve got some really good running backs and we are going to continue to use them,” Herman said. “We rushed for over 200 yards in the second half with five different backs carrying the football, and we rushed the ball well with our backup offensive line.”
FBS Wagner (2-3) never threatened after the second quarter. QB Jake Cady passed for 112 yards, but was harassed by the Owls’ defense for most of the game. The Seahawks rushed for only 20 yards, thanks to the play of Chris Jones and Wendol Philord, who had four tackles apiece and 2.5 and 2 tackles for a loss, respectively. Devonta Davis also had 2 TFL and 3 total, along with three other Owls.
