Boca Helping Hands Solicits Help from the Community During September’s Hunger Action Month During September’s Hunger Action Month, Boca Helping Hands (BHH) has several ways that community members can help feed local families who are food insecure. The public can get involved by donating non-perishable items, volunteering, and contributing needed funds.

Feeding America projects that over 181,000 Palm Beach County residents are suffering from food insecurity; of those, nearly 53,000 are children. In July, the U.S. Department of Labor reported an annual inflation rate of 9.1% through June. This hike in the cost of living can be seen in the increased demand for hunger relief services, with some of the BHH pantry bag locations distributing twice the number of bags compared to this time last year. “Hunger Action Month is a reminder that there are local families and children who do not know where their next meal is coming from, and, as a community, we can help,” said Greg Hazle, Executive Director of Boca Helping Hands. “Unfortunately, inflation being the highest it’s been in four decades has made it much harder for families to put food on the table.”

Palm Beach State College Belle Glade campus designated official host of Muck City Sports Hall of Fame Awards The Palm Beach State College Belle Glade campus has been designated as the official host of the Muck City Sports Hall of Fame awards ceremony, an annual tribute that recognizes athletes and patrons who got their start in the communities of Belle Glade, Clewiston, Pahokee and South Bay on the eastern shore of Lake Okeechobee. The region, known as Muck City, is home to more than 80 NFL players and more than 400 collegiate athletes.

Launched by the Muck City Project this year, the Hall of Fame’s inaugural class was honored on June 5 at the Dolly Hand Cultural Arts Center on the PBSC Belle Glade campus. Inductees in the football category included Rickey Jackson, former player for the Saints and 49ers and 2010 inductee to the NFL Hall of Fame; Santonio Holmes, former player for the Steelers, Jets and Bears and 2009 Super Bowl MVP; Jessie Hester, former player for the Raiders, Falcons, Colts and Rams and a 1985 first-round draft pick; and Jimmy Spencer, former player for the Redskins, Saints, Bengals, Chargers and Broncos. Additional awardees included Milton Watson, football coach; Evette Lyman, basketball and track and field athlete; and Jerry Seymore, wrestling athlete.

Earl Poitier, PBSC alumnus Clarence Anthony, Janet Taylor and Willie Gary, notable members of the community outside of athletics, were also honored with the Lifetime Achievement award.

August 19 - August 25, 2022

“PBSC’s support of the Muck City Sports Hall of Fame demonstrates our commitment to the community and the Muck City Project’s celebration of the Glades’ athletic history,” said Dr. LaTanya McNeal, executive dean of the PBSC Belle Glade campus. “The event brings forth collective pride and bonding from resi-

“PBSC’s support of the Muck City Sports Hall of Fame demonstrates our commitment to the community and the Muck City Project’s celebration of the Glades’ athletic history,” dents, highlights the historic athletic feats of the honorees and is a great motivator to local secondary school-age youth and our very own PBSC students.”

With many athletes calling Muck City home, it’s become known as a “football factory.” The name for the region, which has both

a rich agricultural and athletic history, was derived because of the black soil that produces sugar cane.

Through the Sports Hall of Fame, the Muck City Project intends to chronicle the story of its many players and inspire courage, dedication, fair play, integrity and excellence.

Seven awardees are selected by the Executive Advisory Committee each year using a point ranking system and votes submitted by residents.

“Our relationship with the college has been very close. PBSC has been a huge supporter of the organization,” said Jonathan Mann, president of the Muck City Project, who added his intention of incorporating PBSC in as many programs as possible to promote a higher education for high school students and student athletes.

One such opportunity is the Muck City Sports Hall of Fame Kickoff Classic, a match between the Booker T. Washington Tornadoes and Glades Central Raiders, on Friday, Aug. 19,

www.bocaratontribune.com

at Glades Central High School. The game will include a halftime recognition ceremony for the inaugural Hall of Fame class. PBSC will also be present at the game to share information with the community about programs, student support services and financial aid.

“Football is a transcendent sport in America, and there is a huge following for that. But there are so many ways we can bring substance, appeal, information and support to the community. Our goal is to become a centerpiece for economic development and community enhancement projects,” added Mann.

The second annual Muck City Sports Hall of Fame awards ceremony is tentatively scheduled for Sunday, June 4, 2023, at the Dolly Hand Cultural Arts Center. Additional forthcoming initiatives include a sports museum, which is set to be housed in Belle Glade, a semiannual Golf Classic and ongoing media opportunities to highlight coaches and top players.

CommUNITY Champions Practicing What They Preach The spiritual works of compassion/ mercy – especially teaching the faith and putting up with the annoyances of others – are very important.

But it is about time that more leaders of our local houses of worship examine their conscience to see if they are practicing the things they preach.

While visiting a local park recently, I went over to speak with a man and woman seated on a bench.

I soon learned that they were homeless and that parishioners from Cason United Methodist Church, under the leadership of the Rev. Alexis Talbott, had just dropped off their freshly-washed clothes, a weekly ritual of the members of the Delray Beach church.

We had a long conversation during which I learned a lot about the life journeys of both.

Only a few weeks later while driving through the neighborhood, I noticed Live Fresh, a 29.5 foot-long mobile shower, in use on a vacant lot.

There, several members of Cason and St. Matthews Episcopal Church were on hand volunteering their time.

The air-conditioned trailer, which has private showers and changing area combination rooms, stops at the lot each Friday to help and restore dignity to the county’s homeless.

Cason, St. Matthews and neighboring Resurrection Life Fellowship became the new sites for a soup kitchen after the city ended a 20-year agreement with the Caring Kitchen, which served hot meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner at a city-owned building at 196 NW Eighth Ave. The city stopped officials with the Caring Kitchen after neighbors complained of public defecation, fights and people sleeping in yards near the cityowned building.

Now, this is not to say other churches are not doing great or remarkable things. However, most of them are doing it among themselves only.

I was further impressed when Cason provided transportation to KOP Mentoring Network after the transmission in the 20-year-old van died, leaving students stranded on the interstate while on their way to a class in West Palm Beach one night.

I reached out to several local churches to use their vans following the November incident and one agreed to transport them for $150 per trip. Another nodded yes. One issue: the van had no insurance although they had been transporting parishioners.

Rev. Talbott offered her van, which saved the year for the students. Each Thursday they travel to West Palm Beach where they are learning digital media at the Center for Creative Education.

As I was about to give in to despair, one of my peers quickly intervened. She encouraged me to join together and ask the Lord to raise up a generation of pastors who will lead this community with integrity, compassion, godly vision and

Christlike character.

I had the pleasure of meeting with Rev. Talbott shortly after she took over a few years ago and she shared her vision for the church and the community.

She has a big and bold vision for Cason, she loves the youth of the community and she has embraced this community.

Here is a leader who has been working in and outside the church to bring needed messages to the community, to bring hope and to make a change. Her commitment was birthed out of her love for God. In my humble opinion, Rev. Alexis Talbott is committed in her dedication to spiritual practices -daily acts of Scripture reading, instructing the ignorant, devotion, Christian meditation, community service and, of course, prayer.

We want to hear from you. If you know of a church that has been providing extraordinary service outside the church, please let us know.

POSITIVE LIVING Dr. Synesio Lyra

Plan to Excel!

Don’t look at things as they are and be satisfied. Rather, face them as they can become and do your part to bring that into reality! The same also applies to persons with whom you interact. Who they are now should not be viewed with any finality!

They need your encouragement to become all they can be, to excel in all their pursuits, to maximize all their current doings!

I once read of an artist that set up a studio on the first floor of a downtown building of some city. One of the first things he noticed, looking out of his window, was a disheveled town vagabond who daily sat on the street across August 19 - August 25, 2022

from his studio, as a beggar. The artist used that man as his first painting project. He actually drew him not as he then looked but as he, the artist, imagined him to be. Upon its completion, he invited the man in, and showed him what he had produced. Not knowing who the subject was, the homeless man inquired of the artist, and was most surprised when told that it was he, himself. His significant reaction was, “If that’s the man you see, that’s the person I’ll be!”

Much that is given to us is not for immediate, personal consumption; most is provided for us to improve: sometimes, for the betterment of the tool or of the situation. Most often, however,

it is for our own, personal betterment.

Making excellence your personal goal already empowers you to go after what will bring it to pass! Thus, be a greater critic of yourself rather than of others. Realize the areas where you can improve and proceed to take the necessary steps to make it so.

You need to try and keep on trying whatever will enable you to be who you can be, and do what you are capable of doing! The very idea that you can accomplish it must become an inward belief and attitude with tangible efforts and visible outcomes, even if it may take time to complete, besides some barriers to overcome. As Samuel Johnson declared in his day, “the busi-

www.bocaratontribune.com

ness of life is to go forward.”

Preparation for life is a daily, moment-by-moment activity. New challenges come all the time and we need to know how best to respond to them!

As Rich de Vos recommends, “You never will discover how far you can go if you don’t start ‘doing it’.” You can confidently leave the results up to God as long as you faithfully do your part!

Ultimately, it is only in the path of obedience that you will understand where you are to go, and to go next!

The right doors will open for you when you find yourself in the road God designed for you to traverse under His leading and personal care!

COLUMNISTS ROBERT’S COMMUNITY REPORT

FAITH

By: Robert Weinroth

Importance of Perfect Timing

Around Palm Beach County with Mayor Weinroth - On Aug. 2, 2022, Mayor Weinroth joined the county’s emergency management team to discuss hurricane preparedness with residents of Hunters Run in Boynton Beach. The team also included volunteer members of their Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) who play significant roles in their communities during an emergency. CERT volunteers receive training in fire safety, light search and rescue and disaster medical operations. With this training, they help first responders in providing immediate assistance to victims and organize volunteers at disaster sites. Disasters can strike anywhere and anytime, and CERT volunteers receive basic safety and disaster skills training that can make the difference between life and death.

- On Aug. 2, 2022, Mayor Weinroth spoke to members of the Federation of Boca Raton Homeowners Association at the Boca Raton Community Center. The mayor provided an update on numerous county issues including the 2023 proposed budget challenges and initiatives addressing the affordable and workforce housing crisis.

He also provided an update on a number of local road projects including intersection, paving and safety improvements. The federation was created to represent and serve as the community voice for homeowners in Boca Raton and actively participates in local government issues.

- On July 30, 2022, Mayor Weinroth attended the annual Back to School Bash at Village Academy in Delray Beach and the Convention Center in West Palm Beach.

These events are held countywide and coordinated by the county’s Community Revitalization team in collaboration with 60 local nonprofit agencies, donors, sponsors and vendors. More than 400 volunteers worked with these agencies in providing over 4,000 local children with school supplies, clothing and sneakers in preparation of the upcoming school year. Kudos to everyone for such a successful and important event!

- Joined by fellow county commissioners, Mayor Weinroth recently attended the 2022 National Association of Counties (NACo) Annual Conference in Adams County, Colorado. NACo unites over 40,000 county officials nationwide in advocating priorities in conjunction with federal policymaking. The conference featured various seminars and workshops addressing common challenges such as affordable

housing, transportation, infrastructure and emergency management. Guest speakers included U.S. Senator John Hickenlooper and National Drug Control Policy Director Dr. Rahul Gupta.

- On July 17, 2022, Mayor Weinroth attended a Special Spaces bedroom makeover reveal for Caedyn, a local 4-year-old boy diagnosed with brain cancer. The volunteer-based design team created a policethemed bedroom since Caedyn wants to be a police officer when he grows up. To make the day even more special, deputies from Palm Beach County Sheriff ’s Office and The City of West Palm Beach provided Caedyn with a fun-filled day with lots of activities including a ride in the police car and boat. The mayor presented Special Spaces, based in Boca Raton, with a Certificate of Commendation for their 38th bedroom makeover in the county.

- On July 14, 2022, Mayor Weinroth joined fellow commissioners, assistant county administrators and Palm Tran and Parks and Recreation staff for the debut of Palm Trans’ bus celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation Department (PBC Parks).

The bus features wonderful landscapes of our local parks and beaches. For 50 years, PBC Parks has provided diverse, safe and affordable recreation services and opportunities for our residents to live healthy and happy lives.

A lot of things go into the realization of success in business: Quality workmanship and service. Execution of a novel idea. Effective leadership and direction. Those, for the most part, are factors we can manage. One factor, however, that we often overlook is timing. Especially, perfect timing.

In his book, When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, Daniel Pink addresses the importance of timing as it affects productivity and ultimately, our success. A Wall Street Journal article summarized his findings, pointing out ways Pink suggests for better allocating our time at work throughout the day.

His research discovered that we are “smarter, faster and more creative in some parts of the day than others.” Confirming these conclusions, Russell Foster, a neuroscientist, claims, “The performance change between the daily high point and the daily low point can be equivalent to the effect on performance of drinking the legal limit of alcohol.” That may seem like a startling comparison, but it is probably very accurate for assessing when we can do our best work.

Personally, I have learned that my best time for writing is early morning. My mind is fresh after a good night’s sleep and ideas seem to flow more quickly and smoothly. Not everyone, of course, is a “morning person.” Some people do their best work in the late morning, in the afternoon, or even late at night. The key is to realize when you are most productive and make certain to safeguard that time from unnecessary distractions.

In reading the Bible, I have found it interesting to find that it places a high premium on our effective use of time – and timing. For instance, we are told, “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity…” (Ec-

www.bocaratontribune.com

clesiastes 3:1). We can apply this principle in a number of ways, but one of them is that there is a best time for us to pursue our work, meaning we should strive to schedule other important, but non-work activities for other times during the day, week or month.

Another passage, Ephesians 5:16, emphasizes the urgency for “making the most of your time, because the days are evil.” This does not mean time in itself is inherently evil, but time passes quickly. Not capitalizing on the time we have can result in failure to achieve desired goals and objectives. At the very least, we will have missed out on the opportunity to pursue those projects when our productivity and efficiency levels are at their peak.

Looking at the example of Jesus Christ, we find that He also designated specific times for doing certain things, including prayer and time alone with God the Father. Jesus was much in demand, and at all hours of the day people were thronging around him, whether as observers or seeking His attention to address specific needs they had. For this reason, He devoted many early mornings to time alone, even from His disciples.

Mark 1:35 tells us, “Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.”Many people I know realize how important it is for them to begin the day by focusing on their relationship with God, knowing they will require His direction, wisdom and strength to carry out the work and deal with challenges they face later on.

As the adage reminds us, timing is everything. There is a time to work, a time to rest, and time to play. Also, a time to ensure that we sustain a strong, growing relationship with the Lord.

Life and fitness coach opens fitness and wellness studio designed to empower women The next step for life, fitness and yoga coach Christina Mummaw was opening her own studio branded with the name of her new mission.

Boca Chamber and Mayor Scott Singer cut the ribbon Aug. 16 to officially announce the grand opening of STRONG Wellness & Fitness Studio at 4730 NW Boca Raton Blvd., Boca Raton. https://www. strongwellnessstudio.com/ Already credentialed in fitness specialties from personal training to indoor cycling and yoga, Mummaw has combined her training with her passion.

“Empowering Women to Be Everything They Were Created to Be,” is her new personal and professional mantra.

“What makes STRONG different? I saw there was a need. Women feel uncomfortable and self-conscious at a conventional gym,” Mummaw said. “Our fitness studio was especially designed to make women feel safe and enjoy coming to…and they do.”

Mummaw works with girls and women from ages 11 to 73 in individual and small group sessions and classes. She also uses her nutrition education to teach healthy eating, cooking and meal preparation classes. She has sponsored teen fitness camps and also offers workplace team building.

Monthly social activities include game and craft nights goat yoga, full moon kayak and

paddleboard outings.

Encouraging women to kick start their new beginning comes from her track record as a certified life coach.

“I’ve worked hard at overcoming issues like divorce and being a single parent, to self-esteem and self-image,” Mummaw said. “I’ve been stuck in bad habits, bad relationships, bad diets and a terrible work-life balance. My own life experiences have prepared me to offer solutions and encourage women to bloom, without the fear of comparing or competing.”

“There’s two ways to work with me, individually or commit to a 90-day intensive program,” Mummaw added.

Here’s what STRONG Wellness & Fitness Studio offers up front: · Book a free consultation · Custom-build coaching · Sign up for small group classes as schedules allow A Lancaster, Pa. native, Mummaw is now married to Douglas Mummaw, the well-known Boca Raton architect and president of Mummaw & Associates Inc., architecture, interior design and construction management.

“I learned to crawl my way to a healthier and happier version of me. Now my calling is to support you on your journey,” Christina Mummaw said.

Tips for Selecting Birth Control When Heading Back to College (StatePoint) As college students head back to campus, important decisions about classes, dorms, and part-time jobs are made. At this time in their life, many women will also make important decisions about birth control.

There are multiple birth control methods to choose from, and it can be overwhelming to consider the different options. How well a certain form of birth control works is one important factor to consider, but it’s also important to be aware of potential risks. Experts point to three tips that can help women make an informed choice to meet their specific needs: • A woman’s health history is important to consider when choosing birth control. For example, birth control methods that contain the hormone estrogen are not recommended for those who have severe diabetes, a history of migraine headaches with aura, or any ge-

netic blood clotting disorder or personal or family history of clotting. Women can complete a health history questionnaire that they can discuss with their doctor at www.alexrowanfoundation.org.

• A woman’s longer-term reproductive goals, such as the number of children she may want to have in the future or how soon she might want to get preg-

nant, also should be considered.

• Relationship factors, including the number of sexual partners a woman might have, how often she has sex, marital status and her partner’s preference, also need to be considered.

With these issues in mind, the best method of birth control for any woman is one that is safe, that she is comfortable

using, and that she is able to use consistently and correctly.

The birth control pill is one of the most common forms of contraception and has been used safely and effectively by millions of women for decades, but any form of hormonal birth control, including the pill, patch or ring, can increase a woman’s risk for blood clots.

Women who use hormonal birth control should know the symptoms of blood clots in the leg or arm, including: swelling, pain and skin that is warm or discolored. Left untreated, a blood clot in the leg or arm can travel to a person’s lung and be deadly. Symptoms of a blood clot in the lung include: difficulty breathing, chest pain, cough or coughing up blood, and a faster than normal heartbeat. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these signs or symptoms.

Acting quickly may help save your life, or the life of a friend or family member.

Back to School Fashion: Top Sneaker Styles to Try (StatePoint) As the last days of summer vacation are wrapping up, parents start to check off their back to school to-do lists, ensuring children are ready for their first day. In addition to backpacks and classroom supplies, new shoes are always at the top of the shopping list to accommodate growing feet.

According to Chris Otto, athletics merchandiser for national retailer Rack Room Shoes, this season’s sneakers include classic silhouettes, pops of colors, and multiple heights to offer comfort and style for returning students.

“Shopping for shoes during the back to school season can be an exciting time for families,” says Otto. “With the range of options of brands, prints, and platforms, it’s easy for parents to select footwear to complement any school outfit, while helping children express their individual personalities.”

Here are the top back to school sneaker trends to try this year: Court Sneakers: Court-inspired sneakers were designed to go with everything, and when it comes to styling, variation is key. These on-trend shoes are available in high-, mid-, and low-top versions, different platform heights, and can feature canvas or leather uppers.

Kids enjoy the retro style of the Nike Court Borough, which sports the classic swoosh logo and offers the perfect blend of style and comfort for those on the go.

Elevation: From high-tops to lowPlus

tops, and even platform versions that take fashion to new levels, sneakers with different heights are back in a significant way. This year’s elevated sneaker options feature on-trend and seasonal colors to wear with skirts, dresses, jeans, and more.

What’s old is new again with Chuck Taylor All Stars, which come in varying options. The high top lugged platform offers a new twist, with a rubber out-

sole to add height and modernity to this timeless favorite.

Pops of Color, Neutral, Metallic and Prints: Patterned shoes are no longer viewed as a statement accessory, but rather as a neutral that can be mixed and paired with any item in the closet.

The Vans Ward sneaker adds a fun twist to its classic skater-style shoe with assorted prints, colors, and sizes for kids

-- and parents, too.

For one-stop-shopping during the back to school season, parents can visit the Athletic Shop at Rack Room Shoes in stores or online at rackroomshoes.com.

Thanks to the abundance of fun and functional footwear trending for kids right now, families can be sure that students are sent to school prepared to look and feel their best.

FAU Survey Show that Firms Expect Supply Chain Woes to Wane Supply-chain delays and shortages that have hampered deliveries since the COVID-19 pandemic soon could be easing, according to a business survey by a researcher at Florida Atlantic University.

Results from the inaugural Port Everglades Economic Engine Performance Index show that businesses with operations at the Fort Lauderdale port are overwhelmingly optimistic over the short and long term.

“This survey clearly shows that the supply chain troubles we’ve seen over the past two years are starting to decline,” said David Menachof, Ph.D., the study researcher and an associate professor in FAU’s Information Technology and Operations Management Department within the College of Business. “There will still be sporadic shortages, but I think the outlook for the holiday shopping season will be rosier than last year. Still, it may take until 2023 to get back to what we think of as normal.”

The supply chain issues have led to shortages of many items and products, including semiconductor chips, severely limiting vehicle production and pushing up sticker prices. Limited supply of rubber has hurt tire manufacturing, while lack of plastics has fast-food restaurants scrambling to keep ketchup packets in stock and grocery stores struggling to keep soft drink shelves filled.

The survey consisted of 35 emailed responses to questions posed of members of the Port Everglades Association, a business

Daniels said he’s encouraged by that trend.

More than 60 percent of respondents said they will be adding employees in the next quarter, although a majority of those firms said they have experienced a shortage of qualified candidates, a problem shared by other employers nationwide.

Nearly 90 percent of survey respondents said they’re still experiencing supply chain disruptions attributed to the pandemic, with 30 percent of those disruptions severe. But the survey also found that nearly seven out of 10 firms said they have

at least recovered to pre-pandemic levels, while 22 percent of respondents indicated their performances have surpassed preCOVID levels.

New $26 Million NSF Engineering Research Center for Smart Streetcaps Florida Atlantic University’s Institute for Sensing and Embedded Network Systems Engineering (I-SENSE ) and College of Engineering and Computer Science have landed a major National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Research Center (ERC) with Columbia University, Rutgers University, the University of Central Florida, and Lehman College.

The new Engineering Research Center for Smart Streetscapes (CS3) will be supported for five years with $26 million; renewable for an additional five years, for a total of up to $52 million. The ERC program is NSF’s flagship engineering program to catalyze convergent research to address large-scale societal challenges. As one of the most competitive research programs in the country, CS3 was selected from among hundreds of candidate centers.

The nation’s streetscapes – neighborhood streets, sidewalks and public spaces – define the character of American communities, linking people with social and commercial institutions, and bonding people across demographic identities. Streetscapes are prime sites for deploying engineering research to fortify society. A “smart streetscape” could instantly sense human behavior and guide disabled pedestrians, collect refuse, control pests, amplify emergency services, and protect people against environmental and health threats.

“We are thrilled to receive this ERC award with our partners,” said FAU President John Kelly.

“CS3 will provide important pathways for universities, government, industry and community stakeholders to collaboratively improve quality of life, enhance social equity, and stimulate economic development through innovative and cutting-edge smart city technologies.”

CS3’s mission is to advance livable, safe and

inclusive communities through new streetscape applications built upon real-time and hyper-local streetscape intelligence. This will require fundamental engineering advancements in wireless/optical communications, edge/cloud computing, situational awareness, and privacy and security, while balancing public sphere data collection requirements with community-defined benefits. CS3 will apply these advancements across five application themes: Road Safety & Traffic Efficiency; Public Safety; Assistive Technologies; Future of Outdoor Work; and Hyper-Local Environments. The applications will be realized within three distinct urban environments, leveraging strong partnerships with community organizations and municipal agencies in Harlem, New York City; West Palm Beach, Florida; and New Brunswick, New Jersey.

At FAU, CS3 builds upon a longstanding partnership with the City of West Palm Beach, developed through the West Palm Beach Mobility Intelligence Project, led by FAU’s I-SENSE. Launched in 2019, and supported through the City of West Palm Beach, the Knight Foundation, and the Community Foundation of Palm Beach and Martin Counties, the pedestrian mobility sensing project plays a central role in CS3.

“Over the next decade, CS3 will bring a range of smart streetscape technologies to the City of West Palm Beach and position the city as a national leader in smart cities,” said West Palm Beach Mayor Keith A. James. “These technologies will enable new streetscape applications designed to enhance livability, safety, and inclusivity across the West Palm Beach community – from enabling safer crosswalks, to improving transportation and parking, to assisting pedestrians with disabilities.

The specific applications to be developed will be selected and guided through continuous public engagement.”

Christopher Roog, executive director of the West Palm Beach Community Redevelopment Agency, says that the City of West Palm Beach is excited to further strengthen its partnership with the CS3 team and to collaboratively chart the future of the nation’s streetscapes.

“Our team could not be more excited to embark on this path with our partners to advance the future of the nation’s streetscapes, and to deliver fundamental improvements in the livability, safety, and inclusivity of American communities through engineering research and education,” said Jason Hallstrom, Ph.D., executive director of I-SENSE, who serves as deputy director and chief research officer for CS3.

The FAU team led by I-SENSE and the College Engineering and Computer Science comprises researchers, staff and students across the FAU community, including FAU’s Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, the Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry, and the Office of Equity and Inclusion.

“This prestigious award is Florida Atlantic University’s first designation as a National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center. It marks a significant milestone for I-SENSE, the College of Engineering and Computer Science, and our entire university,” said Daniel C. Flynn, Ph.D., FAU vice president for research. “The interdisciplinary nature of the project will serve as a catalyst for important scientific and technological advancements that will transform cities throughout our nation.”

Team-leads include Dimitris Pados, Ph.D., Schmidt Eminent Scholar Professor, FAU Department of Electrical Engineering and Comput-

er Science, a fellow of FAU I-SENSE and director of the Center for Connected Autonomy and Artificial Intelligence; Jinwoo Jang, Ph.D., assistant professor, FAU Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and an I-SENSE fellow; Jiannan Zhai, Ph.D., research assistant professor, FAU I-SENSE; John Renne, Ph.D., professor and director of the Center for Urban and Environmental Solutions, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science; Valentine Aalo, Ph.D., professor, FAU Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science; and Donna Chamely-Wiik, Ph.D., associate dean for undergraduate research and prestigious fellowships, FAU Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry. Additional partners include 25 industry members, 13 community groups, 13 municipal agencies, 11 educational institutions, and two federal labs.

“Together with Columbia University and our other core partners, FAU will co-lead smart city research and innovation, capitalizing on and growing our collective experience in sensing technologies, artificial intelligence, high-speed wireless communication, simulation and forecasting, among other areas of expertise,” said Stella Batalama, Ph.D., dean, FAU College of Engineering and Computer Science. “Joining forces with our academic, government and industry partners will help to ensure the rapid translation of these technologies for wide-use applications and fruitful economic impact.”

The ERC for Smart Streetscapes positions academic and non-academic stakeholders – urban residents, institutional leaders, students, teachers and municipal resource managers – as co-producers of knowledge and auditors of technology research and development, forming a broad innovation ecosystem that explores the science, utility and humanity of engineering research.

The City of Delray Beach has hired CBRE as the exclusive agent for a new master-planned 18-hole golf course to revitalize the current Delray Beach Golf Club at 2200 Highland Avenue. The site is approximately ±148.52 acres located along Atlantic Avenue to the north and just west of Interstate 95.

The redevelopment will include a redesigned world-class 18-hole championship golf course that will prioritize the integrity and historical significance of the current 9-hole course designed by acclaimed golf course designer, Donald Ross. Additionally, there will be new amenities, including a clubhouse, golf pro shop, bar, kitchen, restaurant, golf cart barn and maintenance building.

“While the course has received industry acclaim in the past, it needs upgrades and renovations estimated at more than $10 million to maintain the course and enhance the visitor experience. The site’s redevelopment is also an opportunity for placemaking; we encourage developers to create a destination that welcomes all City residents, golfers and non-golfers alike,” said Delray Beach

Mayor Shelly Petrolia.

The City has outlined specific requirements and goals related to this redevelopment in the Request for Proposal. Any questions regarding the specifications and solicitation process must be submitted in writing to the Purchasing Department at purchasing@ mydelraybeach.com. Requests for clarification and additional information must be received by the Deadline for Submission of Questions on September 21.

The City’s preference is for the selected developer to provide the upgrades and renovations at limited to no cost to the City. To accomplish this goal, the City will consider commercial uses on the site to provide a revenue stream for the developer to offset the upgrade and renovation costs.

CBRE local expert Chris Smiles will partner with Lee Ann Korst, Southeast Regional Manager of CBRE’s Public Institutions and Education Solutions (PIES), to represent the City. CBRE’s PIES Group provides real estate services to state, county, city, and educational institutions around the country.

Thomas Family Foundation Donates to Women in Distress On Wednesday, July 27th, guests gathered at the Jim and Jan Moran Family Center to honor the generosity and impact that The Thomas Family Foundation has made on Women In Distress (WID). The attendees included board and trustee members, community advocates, and Phyllis and Al Thomas’ friends and family including their sons that flew in to support their parents.

Women In Distress’ Education and Empowerment Center has been named after The Thomas Family Foundation honoring their years of dedicating time, energy, and resources into bettering the lives of domestic violence survivors.

Phyllis and Al Thomas, individually and through The Thomas Family Foundation, have been providing significant philanthropic support to Broward County charities for more than a decade when they relocated from Chicago and made South Florida their new home. Since 2009 they have supported Women In Distress of Broward County and have taken active roles. Phyllis has served on the Board of Directors for more than 10 years, including two terms as Board Chair. During that time, the Thomas’ became major donors, additionally, they started the Women In Distress Charity Golf Tournament which has raised life savings funds and continues to grow to its ninth year. To further encourage giving and attract new donors to WID’s mission, they established The Thomas Family Foundation Vision for the Future Challenge Grant which became es-

pecially important when the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020. Because of the support of Phyllis and Al Thomas, WID has been able to expand services for domestic violence survivors and their children, strengthen the agency, and encourage others to give. Phyllis and Al Thomas personify leadership giving.

“One of the most gratifying parts of my role as CEO of Women In Distress is joining others who are passionate about our mission to end domestic violence. When I first came to Women In Distress as a new

CEO, I saw evidence that Phyllis Thomas and the Thomas Family Foundation were true assets to this organization!,” said President and CEO Linda L. Parker, Ph.D. “I saw their passion and witnessed the personal investment she and the Thomas Family Foundation have made. I received calls from individuals who wanted to become involved in supporting our mission because they had met Phyllis and she connected them to us.”

Women In Distress is so grateful to have partnered with the Thomas’ and their

Family Foundation and have seen incredible improvements in the services we are able to offer, thanks to their efforts.

Last year, Women In Distress provided more than 27,000 nights of safe shelter, answered nearly 15,000 calls to its 24-Hour Crisis Hotline and provided 23,000 hours of counseling and therapy.

SPORTS Owls Women’s Soccer Open Season Women’s Soccer Ranked Sixth In Against Alabama Thursday SSC Preseason Coaches Poll

The Florida Atlantic University women’s soccer team will kick off its 2022 campaign this Thursday, August 18.

The Owls are slated to welcome Alabama to the FAU Football Stadium for a 7 p.m. start time. Not only will the match kick off the FAU women’s soccer season, it also marks the beginning of official competition for all of FAU athletics’ teams in the 2022-23 academic year.

FAU is looking to continue a streak of seven consecutive postseason appearances in the Conference USA Championship Tournament. Head coach Patrick Baker enters his 10th season at the helm of the program. Baker has tallied a record of 85-66-23 during his tenure at FAU. This year, the Owls return seven starters from the 2021 lineup. Senior midfielder Gi Krstec and senior defender Amanda Martin each earned United Soccer Coaches All-Region honors in 2021. The duo was also recently named to the United Soccer Coaches Players to Watch List, becoming the first two Owls in program history to do so.

“We are amped and ready to go this season,” Krstec said. “We have a strong and sizable senior class that is eager to embed their mark on the program.

Along with the seniors, we have a vibrant group of underclassmen and a talented group of new recruits. The team is healthy, strong and working great together. We are looking forward to a fantastic season.”

Krstec, Hailey Landrus and Luisa Daikeler will lead the squad as FAU’s captains this season.

FAU’s defensive unit was a strong August 19 - August 25, 2022

point last season, as the Owls allowed only 19 goals in 18 games. Martin, along with Jodi Smith, spearheaded the back line last season, and both were honored for their efforts. Martin was named First Team All-Conference USA as well as Second Team United Soccer Coaches All-South Region. Smith made an immediate impact, en route to earning Conference USA All-Freshman Team recognition.

The Owls’ defense is expected to gain a boost from the return of Daikeler. Daikeler last played in the spring 2021 season, when she received C-USA Preseason Player of the Year recognition.

Daikeler earned Conference USA CoFreshman of the Year honors in 2019 as well as Second Team All-Region honors.

Up top, FAU’s offense will look to forwards Bri Austin and Mia Sennes to pace the attack. In 2021, Austin tallied four goals and three assists for 11 points last year after transferring to FAU from Villanova. Her four scores ranked second on the team behind Miracle Porter’s seven. For her career, Austin has scored 12 goals and recorded four assists for 28 points.

Sennes ranked third on the team in goals with three last season right behind Austin. She also added two assists for eight points, and tallied the golden goal in double overtime against Marshall.

After the Alabama match, FAU has another home contest against Detroit Mercy on August 21 at noon, then the Owls will then play host to Miami on August 25. The Conference USA portion of the season opens at North Texas on Sept. 18.

Sailfish Add Allie Busch As Assistant Coach The Palm Beach Atlantic cross country and track programs announced the addition of Allie Busch to their staff as an assistant coach.

Busch comes to PBA from Oxbridge Academy in West Palm, where she served as assistant track and field and cross country coach. In this role, she developed the training schedule and workouts for distance runners and was involved in the recreational coaching of amateur runners in distances from 5k to the marathon. Busch has created strength, training, and injury prevention programs for amateur athletes. Additionally, Busch has extensive experience in training and coaching in the equestrian industry as well as high school and amateur track and endurance sports.
