I am thrilled to welcome everyone back from spring break today, and to express how honored I am to begin serving as your eighth president of Florida Atlantic University. I have a deep appreciation for the accomplishments of those who have preceded me in this role, and I am excited to lead my hometown university at such a pivotal moment in our institution’s 60-year history.

FAU BEPI Poll: Hispanic Floridians Express Deep Concerns Over Inflation and Economic Policies
Boca Raton, FL – With inflation creeping back up and wages struggling to keep pace, more than 50% of Hispanic households in Florida feel negatively about the state of the economy, according to a new poll from the Business and Economics Polling Initiative at Florida Atlantic University.
More than 61% of Hispanics are very concerned about inflation in 2025, with 31% somewhat concerned and less than 8% not concerned.
“These findings highlight the significant financial strain inflation continues to place on Hispanic households,” said Monica Escaleras, Ph.D. director of BEPI in FAU’s College of Business. “With the vast majority expressing concern, it underscores the urgent need for economic policies that address rising costs and promote financial stability.”
The majority have negative feelings about the future of the economy
Only 25% had a favorable view of the current state of the U.S. economy. Of those surveyed, 51% had a negative outlook and only 24% had a neutral view. Looking ahead to the future state of the U.S. economy, only 38% felt optimistic. Meanwhile, 24% were neutral and 38% were negative.
Level of trust in administration’s economic policies
The survey found that 48% trusted the current administration to handle the nation’s economic issues, while 27% were unsure and 25% had no trust in the current administration.
Regarding whether the administration’s current policies effectively address inflation, only 34% of Hispanics felt the policies were effective, 13% were unsure, and 53% felt they were ineffective.
More than 60% of the respondents said that tariffs hurt the economy because they raise prices for consumers and businesses. Around 22% said tariffs help the economy by protecting American jobs and industries.
“Opinions on tariffs remain divided, with many concerned about rising costs while others see potential benefits for American industries,” Escaleras said. “These perspectives reflect the ongoing debate about how trade policies impact businesses, jobs and consumers across the economy.”
Hispanics’ coping strategies against inflation
According to the survey, 42% are cutting back on discretionary spending; 24% said they were buying cheaper or generic brands; and 13% said they were working secondary jobs to cope with inflation.
“As inflation continues to strain household budgets, many Hispanics in Florida are adapting by cutting discretionary spending, switching to cheaper brands, and even taking on second jobs,” Escaleras said. “While these strategies help families stay afloat, they also signal broader economic shifts – reduced consumer spending can slow economic growth, and reliance on multiple jobs can lead to burnout and lower productivity.”
Methodology
The survey was administered using an online data collection using REP DATA. There were 462 respondents sampled between Feb. 7-12, with a margin of error of +/- 4.51 percentage points. The data was weighted based on gender, age and education, and the results are available here.
Florida Atlantic University, established in 1961, officially opened its doors in 1964 as the fifth public university in Florida. Today, Florida Atlantic serves more than 30,000 undergraduate and graduate students across six campuses located along the Southeast Florida coast. In recent years, the University has doubled its research expenditures and outpaced its peers in student achievement rates. Through the coexistence of access and excellence, Florida Atlantic embodies an innovative model where traditional achievement gaps vanish. Florida Atlantic is designated as a Hispanic-serving institution, ranked as a top public university by U.S. News & World Report, and holds the designation of “R1: Very High Research Spending and Doctorate Production” by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. Florida Atlantic shares this status with less than 5% of the nearly 4,000 universities in the United States. For more information, visit www.fau.edu.

Listen to the Voice of God, Not the Voices of Doubt
“It was by faith that Noah heard God’s warnings about things he could not yet see.” Hebrews 11:7 (NCV)
Voices of doubt will try to dissuade, detour, and derail you from you purpose in life. But you must listen to the voice of God, not the voices of doubt.
Imagine Noah’s life—building a battleship-sized ark in his front yard while everyone else carried on with their lives. His neighbors must have thought he was crazy. “What’s this guy doing? Building the Queen Mary in his yard? Where’s the homeowner’s association?”
Even Noah’s family probably questioned him.
His sons might have said, “Dad, the ark is embarrassing. Why can’t you get a normal job? Everyone’s laughing at us!”
Could you endure that kind of ridicule? Noah did, for decades, with no encouragement. But he listened to God, not the doubters.
Dream busters will always show up in your life. Critics, cynics, and even loved ones may question your God-given vision. Often, they’re wrong.
But the biggest dream buster is often yourself. The words you speak to yourself
matter. If you talked to your friends the way you talk to yourself—saying things like, “I’m no good,” “I should’ve known better,” or “I’ll never succeed”—you wouldn’t have any friends.
The truth is, we lie to ourselves all the time. The Bible says, “The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked” (Jeremiah 17:9 NLT). We convince ourselves things are fine when they’re not, or hopeless when they’re not. That’s why you must listen to God—because he always tells the truth.
Hebrews 11:7 says, “It was by faith that Noah heard God’s warnings about things he could not yet see” (NCV).
Notice the word “heard.” Noah trusted what he heard from God, even though he couldn’t see the future. Similarly, you can’t see your future, but you must trust God. His Word is your guide. Faith is believing in what you can’t see—your destiny and your eternal future.
The Bible says, “So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever” (2 Corinthians 4:18 NLT).
Focus on what lasts forever, not on temporary troubles. Noah’s faith was
counter-cultural, standing against the disbelief around him. How did he maintain such faith? He heard God.
You might say, “I don’t hear God!” The solution? Get closer to him.
The Bible says, “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10 NIV). Turn off distractions. Sit quietly. Pray.
Only when you draw near to God can you truly hear his voice. Listen, and follow him. “Noah . . . walked faithfully with God” (Genesis 6:9 NIV).
Talk It Over
How can you prioritize listening to God’s voice over the voices of doubt and negativity in your life?
What steps can you take to strengthen your faith, like Noah, when faced with criticism or discouragement from others?
In what ways do you allow your own negative self-talk to derail your God-given vision, and how can you combat this with truth from God’s Word?
No matter what you’ve done or where you’ve been, you’ve got a place in God’s forever family ready and waiting for you. The invitation is wide open. Just believe and receive.
Are you ready? Here’s a prayer you can start with: “Dear God, I know when I die, I’m going to give an account of my life to you. I know I have sinned against you, and I have lived by my plan, not yours. I want that to change, starting right now. I want to turn away from my sins and toward you.
“Thank you for sending Jesus to die for all that I’ve done wrong so I don’t have to pay the penalty. I know I don’t deserve your forgiveness. I know only your grace can save me, Lord. I could never be good enough to get into a perfect place.
“Jesus, thank you for loving me so much that you took all my guilt on yourself. You made me acceptable for heaven, and I humbly ask you to save me. I believe in you, Jesus. And I believe you will keep your promise to save me instantly, certainly, completely, and eternally. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”
If you just prayed to accept Jesus, congratulations! Please email me at Rick@PastorRick.com and let me know about it. I’d like to send you some free materials to help you start your journey with Jesus.

Been There, Done That… on Clothes & Aging
I keep getting ads for clothes I can’t wear anymore. Strapless. Sleeveless. Miniskirts. Crop tops. High-heel shoes.
I’m 78 and I still look pretty good for my age. Except for my neck, my upper arms and legs. No wrinkles on my face…yet.
I can’t afford plastic surgery on my neck. I wish I could. Nobody I talked to with the same sags can either. None of us plan to wear turtlenecks or scarves in this weather. That would just attract more attention. I stopped wearing necklaces months ago. I just started wearing them again as a silent protest.
Bathing suits are obviously out, too, unless you wear a rashguard with sleeves and a midi coverup. I wrote about ‘skin is in’ in an earlier column. Now skin is really in. Wait until you see
the bathingsuits the kids are wearing at the pool and the beach. I couldn’t even wear a bikini at their age, let alone an upper and lower thong. No criticism here. I was always an “if you’ve got it, flaunt it” feminist, a rare breed for a reporter who covered the women’s movement. Just warning you what’s in now to avoid the shock value.
If you think this is one big complaint about aging, you’re right. I haven’t made peace with 78 yet. I should be happy as a cancer survivor that I’m still here. I wore high heels even to cover marches and the New York commute. That’s the thing I miss most. High heels. As my leg doctor says: What were you thinking? And to add insult to injury, every pair of slacks needs hemming now. I used to be 5 foot 4. I’m shrinking.

First Message from FAU New President with FAU
I am thrilled to welcome everyone back from spring break today, and to express how honored I am to begin serving as your eighth president of Florida Atlantic University. I have a deep appreciation for the accomplishments of those who have preceded me in this role, and I am excited to lead my hometown university at such a pivotal moment in our institution’s 60-year history.
First, I want to extend my sincere thanks to Stacy Volnick, Ph.D., for her dedicated service as interim president. Her tireless commitment has been instrumental to Florida Atlantic’s success over the past several years. I am pleased to announce that Stacy will continue to play an integral role at Florida Atlantic as executive
vice president for administrative affairs and chief operating officer, remaining a valued member of our executive leadership team.
Florida Atlantic University is on the ascent. We live, learn and work in the most dynamic part of Florida, attracting people from across the country and around the world. My vision is to enhance Florida Atlantic’s reputation and prestige, ensuring they match the remarkable energy and boundless potential of the communities within the Fort Lauderdale to Fort Pierce region that we proudly serve.
As your president, I am fully committed to listening, learning and collaborating with the entire University community to create a culture where every student thrives, every faculty member has the opportunity to innovate, and every staff member feels valued. Together, we will prioritize exceptional academic achievement, impactful research and unique experiences that will define Florida Atlantic as a center of excellence and opportunity, and a vital partner to the Sunshine State’s long-term prosperity.
My primary focus will be on the tens of thousands of students across our six campuses, ensuring you have meaningful opportunities to succeed
in both your educational endeavors and career pursuits. This institution exists to serve you, and we will be unwavering in our promise to help students reach their fullest potential. To achieve this, we must also prioritize recruiting and retaining top-tier faculty who are deeply dedicated to our students and whose meaningful contributions are recognized by both their peers and the broader community. Our faculty and staff play a crucial role in fulfilling our mission of student success, and I am determined to find effective ways to support this essential work.
There is much to be done — and no time to waste. In the coming weeks, Florida Atlantic will begin updating our strategic plan, building on a decade of leadership that earned us the prestigious designation as an R1 institution and propelled the University toward the ranks of the top 100 public universities in the nation. Our ongoing success is reflected in the record-breaking 55,000 applications we’ve already received for the next freshman class — a clear testament to our growing reputation for excellence. More than ever, Florida Atlantic is increasingly becoming the first choice for students eager to shape their futures and change the world for the better.
Over the next two weeks, I am excited to visit all six campuses to personally engage with students, faculty, staff, alumni and community leaders. My door will always be open, and I look forward to hearing directly from each of you about how we can work together to propel Florida Atlantic forward, creating new opportunities for growth, innovation and success for all. When you see me on campus, please don’t hesitate to stop and say hello — I would love to hear your ideas, aspirations and perspectives!
Florida Atlantic has been instrumental in helping shape my career in public service, and it is the greatest honor of my life to now have the privilege of leading our University at such a transformative time. As we embark on this exciting new chapter, I look forward to working alongside each of you to build on our incredible momentum and elevate Florida Atlantic to even greater heights in the years ahead.
Thank you for the warm welcome we have already received. My wife, Jillian, and I are proud to officially join the Florida Atlantic family.

Sugar Ray’s Knockout For the Y in Boca
By Marci Shatzman
As soon as legendary boxer Sugar Ray Leonard started his narrative and fight videos, he didn’t need “a decision.” Hundreds of supporters under the tent in Boca for the YMCA’s 23rd Inspiration Breakfast were smitten. Who wouldn’t be? Looking great at nearly 69, (May 17) Leonard joked about his age and physique. “The guys on the front row were sizing me up,” he kidded as his opening line.
nized for its ongoing commitment and support in the role of fostering economic growth and expanding opportunities for small businesses throughout the county.
Since 1989, the Board of County Commissioners has provided direct funding to BBIC to support job creation, provide support services to businesses and entrepreneurs, and expand business growth through access to capital.
BBIC is a not-for-profit organization created in 1987 to assist small, minority, and women-owned businesses by providing technical assistance, support/training services, and improved access to capital for growth. During the annual meeting, President Pamela Stewart announced that BBIC and its affiliate Pathway Capital Funding have re-branded under the new name Inclusifi.
Leonard went on to inspire with upbeat advice on “the power of winning,” everything from determination to goal setting. “Do everything necessary. The more you do it, the easier it becomes.” He talked about moving from defeat to victory. “I was a huge underdog. I proved the critics wrong,” he said about the 1987 fight he won in a split decision against Marvin Hagler. “I turned a negative into a positive.”
His first loss was the 1980 World Welterweight Champion against Roberto Duran. “He beat me because he took down my game plan,” Leonard said with humor, showing the real decision. His message: Stay in control.
Leonard didn’t take questions for the audience, but got a standing ovation and applause from a crowd that’s used to hearing advice from sports celebrities, like Tim Tebow at the Brain Bowl in November. The entire breakfast was staged like boxing match with a boxing announcer and ring onstage. Co-chairs Linda Gunn Paton and Brad Winstead even wore boxing robes at the intro. Terry Fedele on video and in person announced the capital campaign she’s chairing to raise funds for the Peter Blum Family YMCA in Boca’s expansion. “We need to grow to meet the needs of the community,” from infants to seniors, she said. Between the Boca and Boynton Ys, they serve 4,000 people daily, said president and CEO Jason Hagensick.
Robin Deyo staffed a table to give out the capital campaign brochure, and did the invocation. JM Family Enterprises was the breakfast’s presenting sponsor. Rotary Club Downtown Boca sponsored the ‘call to the heart’ fundraiser for program donations.

Inflation is Causing Consumers to Identify Their Priorities
(StatePoint) If you’ve been watching your wallet, you’re not alone. As Americans continue to navigate inflation, 76% report cutting back on spending, up from 67% in 2024, according to the second annual Wells Fargo Money Study.
The majority of Americans also say they are making tough financial choices to navigate their lives, including delaying plans with hefty price tags, such as travel, homeownership, education, marriage and retirement.
“There is a clear social narrative surrounding the question: ‘do I, and will I, have enough?’ The fact that these questions are being asked is positive because we know the earlier people focus on their money behaviors, the more time they have to course correct to achieve their goals,” said Michael Liersch, head of Advice and Planning at Wells Fargo.
Consumers continue to navigate higher than expected prices
An overwhelming 90% of those surveyed responded they feel “sticker shock” in one or more areas of common spending, including eating out, attending a concert, buying a bottle of water, or downloading a video game, and say actual costs are between 55% and 200% higher than what they expect.
“Spending is one of the most important factors to staying on track,” said Liersch. “I would encourage people to align their spending with what matters most to them.”
Nearly all Americans (94%) acknowledge that they want to do just that: align money choices with their values, and 86% want to be more intentional and thoughtful about spending.
According to Liersch, “These insights highlight that Americans are not just winging it. They are being extraordinarily introspective as they navigate their financial priorities.”
Americans judge themselves, not others
Money can be an emotional topic, at times inciting envy, anxiety and secretiveness. While 87% of Americans say it makes no difference to them how much money another person has, 56% keep how much they have secret, and 32% of them say it’s because they are trying to avoid people judging them.
Americans also spend time thinking about how much money other people have – and wishing they could have more themselves. Forty-seven percent responded they often feel envious of how much money other people have, 37% admit to obsessing about getting rich, 34% admire social media millionaires, and 23% admit to sometimes overspending just to keep up with people around them.
“Americans appear comfortable with other people being authentic about their financial situation, which is encouraging,” Liersch says. “So now it’s time to overcome self-judgment and reset the frame of reference from others to one’s own personal benchmark.”
Americans want help meeting goals
Eighty-six percent of respondents say they have a clear picture of what they want their money to do for them. And the vast majority are optimistic about how to do it: 87% say now is a good time to save and 65% say now is a good time to invest. Yet 61% say they need a mental reset, and are being held back by such factors as difficulty changing habits, lack of financial knowledge and other financial responsibilities.
To overcome these challenges, Americans are seeking more financial advice year over year. Last year, 24% said they were seeking more advice from others; this year it’s 36%. Looking across generations, the desire for more
advice is higher among teens (54%), gen Z adults (61%) and millennials (46%).
At a time when many are feeling cash-strapped, learning new ways to think about and manage money can help you take control of your financial future.

Palm Health Foundation Reveals Impact on Tackling Leading Health Challenges
Boca Raton, FL – Palm Health Foundation, Palm Beach County’s leading community foundation for health, has released its 2024 Report to the Community, “From Strategy to Impact: Cultivating Thriving Communities.” Dynamic storytelling, supported by video and podcast links, showcases how the foundation’s $2.7 million in grant invest-
ments for 2024 addressed the county’s most pressing health challenges.
Advancing brain health. According to the Dana Foundation, more than 8 in 10 Americans are affected by brain health issues. Palm Health Foundation’s investments through its Brain Health Innovation Fund continued to build a growing brain health network—from community-based solutions transforming behavioral health access and support for families and youth through BeWellPBC, to advancing science-based collaboration through the Brain Coast Alliance and the Palm Beach County NeuroArts Collaborative.
Strengthening the health professions. There are 510 individuals for every one behavioral health practitioner and over 16,000 nursing vacancies in the State of Florida. Thanks to an outpouring of donor support, Palm Health Foundation awarded $687,000 in needsbased scholarships to 73 nursing and behavioral health students at local universities pursuing degrees to fill significant gaps in access to care across Palm Beach County. Many scholars come from di-
verse backgrounds and will have the competencies proven to improve patient health outcomes, satisfaction, and the overall quality of care.
Activated, healthy, resilient communities. More attention has been given nationwide to the vital conditions—factors like access to quality housing, stable employment, healthy food, and safe communities—and their potential to contribute to health disparities. In 2024, Palm Health Foundation’s Healthier Lake Worth Beach initiative created impact by relieving the stress of code compliance among 55+ residents in vulnerable communities by collaborating with city government through the Neighborhood Health/Code Compliance Curb Appeal project. Recognizing homeowners’ inability to correct code violations due to health or aging, the project engaged volunteers to provide home repairs and improvements, relieving residents of violations and improving their quality of life. Palm Health Foundation also joined with fellow funders during the year to award 21 Community Changemakers Fund grants, seeding and supporting a network of individuals, organizations,
and businesses with ideas to benefit resident health through enhancing vital conditions across Palm Beach County.
Palm Health Foundation president and CEO, Patrick McNamara, sees how the foundation’s innovative approach to long-term health solutions through community collaboration is paying dividends. “Since evolving our strategy from shortterm grant-making to systems change and generational transformation in partnership with community and our donors, we have better recognized—and invested in—the incredible people and ideas for building a thriving community,” McNamara said. “At the same time, we are strengthening our entire health network through scholarships and game-changing collectives, like the Brain Coast Alliance. Our efforts are creating connections between philanthropists seeking breakthrough health solutions and the people who are leading the way for a healthier Palm Beach County.”

Annual Boca Raton “Winter Connection” Events Raise Funds to Rebuild Israel’s North and South
months. Their electricity had been turned off and they didn’t clean out their refrigerators before they left. However, our volunteers were sitting in their homes cleaning the floors and the toilets and the kitchens and putting fresh sheets on their beds so that when they came home, they would open the door not to disaster, but to dignity.”
Boca Raton, FL — In a powerful display of unity, more than 2,000 philanthropists recently attended dozens of Jewish National Fund-USA events across South and Central Florida to support Israel’s post-October 7 recovery efforts, collectively raising more than $3 million to help rebuild shattered communities in Israel’s north and south.
Over 750 benefactors living and wintering in Palm Beach County showed up in droves to answer the call at “Winter Connection,” the organization’s flagship seasonal fundraiser which took place from February 4-6, 2025, in Boca Raton and Delray Beach. One of the week’s exclusive receptions at Boca West Country Club drew in 500 local members of the organization’s Donor Societies, as well as partners (donors) nationwide who traveled to South Florida for the annual soirée.
Key speakers included Loren and Eric Stein, Co-presidents of the organization’s South Palm Beach Board of Directors; Russell F. Robinson, CEO of Jewish National Fund-USA; and Deb Lust Zaluda, recently inaugurated president of Jewish National Fund-USA.
In addition to highlighting Jewish National Fund-USA’s Build Together plan for Israel’s South and its Reimagine plan for Israel’s north, the leaders demonstrated the organization’s Circle of Impact, whereby every project, initiative, and program supports job creation, community resilience, and economic development—key drivers of population growth in these frontier regions.
“I was recently in Israel and had the incredible opportunity to see firsthand the work that we are doing on the ground,” said Zaluda. “Over 4,000 people have volunteered with us to rebuild the communities that were impacted on October 7, and together with our partners on the ground, helped us reimagine a better way forward.”
Robinson added: “Evacuees’ homes had been completely vacant for 8-9
Although Robinson pointed out the difficult truth about the vast restoration efforts that are needed in Israel’s north while tens of thousands of people remain evacuated from their homes, he also painted a picture of the bright future that lies ahead for the land and people of Israel.
“We will never let the darkness take anything away from us, we will never let evil win. We have to believe in tomorrow with every breath in our chest,” said Robinson.
Winter Connection’s headliner, Colonel Richard Kemp, a decorated military leader with 30 years of experience fighting terrorism in some of the world’s most dangerous conflict zones and who is considered to be one of the most respected voices in global security, participated in an engaging fireside chat about the Israel-Hamas war and the situation in the Middle East.
During the conversation, led by Palm Beach County resident and Jewish National Fund-USA National Board Member, Marvin Schlanger, Kemp, who studied the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) extensively during his military service and has been to Gaza several times since the war began, spoke, among other things, about the deeply over-exaggerated casualty numbers provided by the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health.
Parroted by global media outlets, the casualty numbers don’t distinguish whether deaths were of Hamas combatants, civilians, or those who died of natural causes. Kemp also reinforced how the IDF does not aim to kill innocent civilians and does everything possible to mitigate civilian deaths.
The Consul General of Israel in Miami, Maor Elbaz-Starinsky, also provided remarks at the reception on February 6, and 40 Boca Raton student ambassadors from the Claire and Emanuel G. Rosenblatt High School at Donna Klein Jewish Academy and Katz Yeshiva High School volunteered to help make the event a success.

Help Florida’s Waterbirds Have Nesting Success ENVIRONMENT
Boca Raton, FL – The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is sharing an annual reminder that breeding season has started for shorebirds, seabirds and wading birds in several parts of the state. If you plan on spending time along Florida’s incredible shorelines this spring and summer, there are several things you can do to help our waterbirds have nesting success.
During this time of year and continuing through the summer, many shorebird and seabird species nest directly on beaches across the state where
their eggs and chicks are well camouflaged in the sand. Colonies of wading birds, such as herons, will typically nest on mangrove islands off the coast.
Dates for waterbird breeding seasons can vary depending on the species and location within the state. While some waterbird species start nesting in parts of Florida as early as mid-February, others don’t start nesting until March or April. Official shorebird breeding seasons can be found by visiting MyFWC.com/Shorebirds and clicking on “Shorebird Nest Dates and Contacts.”
Because our state’s beaches and shorelines are important nesting, resting and foraging habitat for waterbirds, anyone enjoying time near the shore can play a big part in their conservation and nesting success. Want to help nesting shorebirds, seabirds and wading birds? Follow these easy waterbird-friendly tips:
Before you go, be in the know –check for Critical Wildlife Area closures. Whether boating or on land,
watch for signs designating Critical Wildlife Areas on the beach or coastal islands — these areas are closed to public access to protect high concentrations of wading birds and shorebirds while they nest and raise their chicks. You can help nesting birds by giving space and keeping noise volumes low near CWAs.
Beach-bound? Do the flock walk. Shorebirds and seabirds nest in shallow scrapes in the sand and their eggs and chicks are well-camouflaged, making them vulnerable to being stepped on. Help beach-nesting birds by giving them plenty of space — stay at least 300 feet away from nesting birds, keep out of posted areas, and walk around both individual and groups of birds on the sand. Getting too close to nesting birds can cause them to fly off, leaving vulnerable eggs and chicks exposed to dangerous elements and predators.
Keep pets at home. Even well-behaved dogs frighten shorebirds and can cause them to abandon their eggs and chicks. If you bring your pup with you to the shore, go to a dog-friendly beach where they’re allowed, and keep them
on a leash and far away from nesting or resting birds.
Stash any trash in proper trash or recycling bins. Garbage and food scraps attract predators, such as raccoons and crows, that prey on shorebird eggs and chicks. Litter on beaches and in the water can entangle birds, turtles and other wildlife. Beachgoers can help beach-nesting birds and other native wildlife by properly disposing of trash and removing personal gear from the beach before nightfall. If fishing, dispose of used line properly, as it can be deadly to waterbirds, sea turtles and other wildlife. To find a monofilament recycling station near you, visit mrrp. myfwc.com.
For more information about nesting waterbirds, go to MyFWC.com/ Shorebirds and download the “Share the Beach with Beach-Nesting Birds” brochure. Or go to the Florida Shorebird Alliance website at FLShorebirdAlliance.org to learn more about how to participate in shorebird and seabird conservation efforts.

Florida Fertility Expo: A Beacon of Hope for Those Facing Fertility Challenges
Boca Raton, FL – For those struggling to conceive, every step in the fertility journey can be overwhelming, filled with endless research, confusing options, and mounting expenses. But now, hopeful parents have a place to turn for clarity, support, and empowerment.
TheFlorida Fertility Expo founded by local advocate Michelle McKoy, will be held next month on Friday, April 18th and Saturday, April 19th in Fort Lauderdale. This groundbreaking event brings together top fertility professionals, cutting-edge innovations, and a supportive community under one roof, offering invaluable education and real hope for those navigating reproductive health challenges. Exhibitors, speakers, interactive workshops and panel discussions will provide information on topics including intro vitro fertilization (IVF), intrauterine insemination (IUI), egg freezing, donors, high-risk pregnancy, adoption, postpartum maternal services, and mental health support.
For Michelle McKoy, this mission is deeply personal. At 47 years old, she
realized that it was now or never to try for a child. Facing endometriosis, early menopause, and daunting odds, she embarked on an exhaustive journey, sorting through a maze of medical information, financial burdens, and emotional hurdles. But she persisted, giving birth to her daughter just two weeks before her 50th birthday.
“Our mission is to create a platform where conversations about fertility and reproductive health are normalized and inclusive,” says McKoy. “By highlighting critical topics like Black maternal health disparities and showcasing innovative FemTech solutions, we aim to empower attendees with the knowledge and resources to navigate their reproductive health journeys.”
According to the most recent
Health Statistics Report, an estimated 13.4% of women in the United States who try to conceive experience fertility issues. After age 35, the number jumps to 30%. Another 11.4% of men ages 1549 also have impaired fertility.
For those feeling lost in the world of fertility treatments, this Expo is more than just an event, it’s a lifeline.
• When: April 18th-19th
• Where: Urban League of Broward County, 560 NW 27th Ave. Fort Lauderdale, FL 33311
• Time: 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
• Tickets: $15

UF/IFAS Dietitian Reveals Hidden Link Between Nutrition, Dental Health and Overall Wellness
Boca Raton, FL – March is National Nutrition Month, an opportunity to reflect on diet and its impact on overall health. A powerful but often-overlooked contributor to diet’s effect on wellness is dental health.
“Sometimes we silo our health and think about nutrition in one place and dental health and overall wellness in other places,” said Laura Acosta, instructional associate professor in the UF/IFAS food science and human nutrition department. “But the truth is, they are all inextricably intertwined.”
Acosta, a dietitian, is among the few higher education nutrition instructors in the country who integrates dental health into her curriculum. Below, she explains the interconnectedness of food, dental health and overall wellness.
What oral diseases are commonly associated with poor nutrition?
Worldwide, about 3.5 billion people suffer from oral disease. The most common issues are tooth decay and periodontal disease. Periodontal disease affects the structures supporting the teeth, including bone, gums and ligaments, which leads to gum recession.
How can oral diseases cause poor nutrition and poor physical health?
Oral diseases cause pain and tooth loss over time, which make it more difficult to eat and chew efficiently. This potentially leads to decreased nutritional intake and increased risk of malnutrition. Also, chronic infections in the mouth contribute to systemic, or bodywide, inflammation, which can cause protein and muscle breakdown, further limiting chewing efficiency. A common response is to reach for easy-to-chew, but not necessarily healthy, foods. It becomes a vicious cycle.
How are oral disease and chronic health conditions connected?
There is a consistent pattern showing the prevalence of certain pathogenic, or disease-causing, bacteria in the mouths of people with major chronic conditions. Topping the list is Porphyromonas gingivalis, the bacteria most ubiquitously associated with periodontal disease. Individuals with periodontal disease are about twice as likely to develop cardiovascular disease, about 2.5 times more likely to develop cancer and about twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease. Their risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is 28% greater, and they are 65% more likely to have sleep apnea. Whether these conditions make individuals more susceptible to periodontal disease or whether periodontal disease increases the risk of these conditions is something we’re trying to tease out in the science. But the association does exist, and these are staggering statistics.
What foods and drinks should be avoided?
Starchy, refined carbs like those found in bread, pasta, French fries, crackers, pizza and sugary foods stick to teeth and promote a microbial imbalance and even pathogenic bacteria. And acidic and sugary drinks like fruit juice, coffee and soda degrade tooth enamel and support cavity-causing bacteria.
What foods and drinks are beneficial for dental health?
Consider food reminiscent of the Mediterranean diet: whole, minimally processed items with anti-inflammatory effects. That includes fresh fruits and vegetables containing antioxidants and polyphenols, or plant compounds, and foods high in omega-3 fatty acids, like fatty fish.
But snacking on even healthy foods throughout the day should be avoided because some otherwise smart choices like fruit expose teeth to acid and sugar. Strategize and concentrate beneficial citrus and berries during meals to limit exposure.
Green tea contains a dietary compound called Epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG, a powerful anti-inflammatory antioxidant with antimicrobial properties. EGCG has been shown to slow down and even prevent recession. It could be an additional tool in the arsenal against oral disease.

OBITUARY
Beloved Recreation Supervisor, Irving Adams, Passes Away Four Months Before 30th Anniversary
Delray Beach, FL – For 29 years, Irving Leandra Adams, Jr. was a welcomed presence at the Delray Beach Community Center, where he served
as a Recreation Supervisor in the City’s Parks and Recreation Department. He was also known as the front desk attendant, recognized for his trademark shorts and resonant voice.
On February 28, four months before his 30th anniversary, that distinctive voice was silenced when he died in his sleep at the age of 62.
“We are really missing his energy in the building,” said Parks Superintendent Prentice Mobley, who has known Mr. Adams for 18 years. “He was a respectful and kind gentleman. Always dependable. He would stay late or work overtime if you needed him.”
A native of Buffalo, NY, Mr. Adams relocated to Delray Beach after graduating from The Albany Academy. His sister, Noveta Adams, said that he also graduated from Florida State University. As the eldest of seven children,
he shouldered the responsibilities and made the sacrifices associated with being the firstborn and a big brother, simultaneously.
“He was always quiet; I was the total opposite,” she said. “He loved his sports, was a Miami Dolphins and NY Yankees fan, and loved history. That was his thing.”
Whether coaching kids in the gymnasium or working the front desk, Mr. Adams was a constant source of inspiration and support for everyone around him, his colleagues said. His ability to connect with people of all ages, especially through sports, made him a beloved figure in Delray Beach.
Mr. Adams did not drive and could often be seen walking along Lake Ida Road to work. However, he was always punctual, his supervisors said.
“He would take the bus or a taxi, always the same taxi driver,” Mobley recalled. “He was consistent.”
Mr. Adams was preceded in death by his parents, Irving Leandra Adams, Sr., and Ruth Daniels Adams.
He is survived by his siblings Noveta Adams, Joseph Adams, Addie Adams Guillaume (Vivens Guillaume), James Adams, Samuel Adams, and Julie Adams Fenderson (Burt Fenderson), as well as his niece, Jaia Ruth, and nephew, Robert.
A viewing will be held on Saturday, March 8, at 11 a.m. at Straghn & Sons Funeral Home Chapel, with services following at 12 noon.
