COMMUNITY 3,720 Bowls of Cereal Donated to Boca Helping Hands at FAU Tackle Hunger Cereal Drive

Boca Helping Hands (BHH), in collaboration with Florida Atlantic University (FAU) Athletics and Cereal4All for the second year running, commemorated September’s Hunger Action Month by hosting a Tackle Hunger Cereal Drive during the FAU vs. Southeastern Louisiana football game. Participants donated 373 boxes of cereal, equating to 3,720 bowls and 394 pounds of food. The game took place on Saturday, Sept. 10 at the FAU Stadium in Boca Raton. Those who donated one or more unopened cereal boxes got into the game for free, with all donations going to BHH’s Pantry Bag clients “We were so pleased that so many people came out from the community to donate cereal,” said Greg Hazle, Executive Director of Boca Helping Hands.

“Cereal is one of the least donated items to food banks across the country, which means underserved kids and families do not always get to start their day with a nutritious breakfast.”

Cereal4All was started by twin brothers Jett and Luke Justin of Boca Raton, now 14 years old. After volunteering at Boca Helping Hands (BHH) with their parents, Jett and Luke organized their first cereal drive for BHH at their school in 2016 when they were just eight years old.

The boys have since expanded the program to more than 15 schools in the area.

“We want to live in a world where every kid and family has daily access to breakfast food in their home,” Luke Justin said. “We want to be part of the fight against food insecurity.”

Boca Helping Hands is a communitybased nonprofit that provides food, medical and financial assistance to meet basic human needs as well as education, job training and guidance to create self-sufficiency. Through its various programs, BHH assists over 27,000 people annually.

In 2021, BHH distributed more than 70,000 pantry bags from five Palm Beach County locations and served nearly 80,000 hot meals. The organization expands access to affordable medical, dental and behavioral care through its partnerships with Genesis Community Health (serving clients at clinics in Boca Raton and Boynton Beach) and Florida Atlantic University’s Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing Community Based Clinics (serving residents in West Palm Beach). In addition, BHH sends weekend meals home with food-insecure elementary school students via the BHH Backpacks Program and assists working families with the rising cost of childcare through the Children’s Assistance Program (CAP).

With an increased focus on client selfsufficiency, BHH awards scholarships for qualified candidates to attend accredited vocational training classes that prepare them for careers in the healthcare, information technology, construction, and transportation industries. BHH also offers free English as a Second Language (ESOL) classes, as well as courses in nutrition and other life skills.

FAU Study Shows Home Price Corrections Most Likely in Washington, Texas, Utah and North Carolina Spokane, Washington and Austin, Texas are the two U.S. housing markets most exposed to price corrections, meaning consumers in those areas should strongly consider renting rather than buying, according to a new report from researchers at Florida Atlantic University and Florida International University.

The BH&J National Price-to-Rent Ratios Monthly Report measures the relative cost of owning to renting in 100 metropolitan areas nationwide.

Ken H. Johnson, Ph.D., an economist in FAU’s College of Business, also co-authors separate monthly indexes revealing the most overvalued U.S. markets for home prices and rents. Priceto-rent ratios offer a more complete picture because they show the relative choice within a housing market between buying and renting.

Spokane leads the U.S. with a priceto-rent ratio of 32.08 percent above the long-term average, followed by Austin’s 29.62 percent. Nashville, Tennessee (26.68 percent); Raleigh, North Carolina (25.86 percent); and Seattle (24.58 percent) complete the top five.

Washington, Texas, Utah and North Carolina each have two metros ranked in the top 10. The full rankings can be found here.

“In markets with these high ratios, it is reasonable to expect price corrections because renting is much more favorable there,” Johnson said. “Renting will slow down demand for homeown-

www.bocaratontribune.com

ership, which will, in turn, affect prices.”

Many of the highest price-to-rent ratios are in Western U.S. markets. Even though Florida has some of the nation’s most overvalued housing and rental markets, the price-to-rent ratios are fairly low.

“The recent spike in metro Miami rents has helped keep the price-to-rent ratio in the area relatively near its average,” said William G. Hardin III, Ph.D., dean of FIU’s College of Business. “But it will be the production and delivery of new homes and apartments that will ultimately drive long-term housing affordability in the area.”

Despite rapidly rising rents over the past two years, renting is the better option in all 100 markets surveyed, according to the report.

Stamford, Connecticut (4.52 percent); Virginia Beach, Virginia (4.76 percent) and Syracuse, New York (4.90 percent) have the three lowest ratios.

“In these markets, renting still beats buying, but the decision isn’t as clearcut as it is in Spokane and other metros with much higher ratios,” said Eli Beracha, Ph.D., of FIU’s Hollo School of Real Estate.

The researchers calculate the priceto-rent ratio as the average home price for an area divided by the area’s annual rents for the average property. Data is provided from the Zillow Home Value Index and the Zillow Observed Rental Index and includes single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums, co-ops and apartments.

Susan Slade Whelchel: a Valued, Trusted Leader who Fought for the Residents Susan Slade Whelchel, the citizen mayor who died recently at age 77, will best be remembered as a tireless public servant who volunteered thousands of hours with a laundry list of civic organizations.

The 30-year educator turned politician was a fierce advocate for all the residents of her beloved city. It is an understatement to say that civic commitment was at the heart of her political life and much of her personal one.

She became more immersed in community service nearing the twilight of her career by volunteering with non-profits and other organizations.

The longtime volunteer with the Junior League of Boca Raton was honored as the organization’s 2016 Woman Volunteer of the year.

She is credited as being one of the 14 founding members of the Spirit of Giving Network, a nonprofit that partners with more than 90 nonprofits and focuses on children and families in South Palm Beach County.

In 1998, during a break at a city meeting, she pulled me aside and told me about

the newly founded Spirit of Giving. She knew I was founder of the then Knights of Pythagoras Mentoring Network, which held an annual back to school giveaway event. She used words like “better together” as she explained the power of collaborating “to reach and touch more” in a manner, which I could not say no.

Shortly after, the then executive director of the organization and I met, and we collaborated and brought the Back-toSchool Bash to the Boys and Girls Club in Delray Beach.

In politics, Mayor Whelchel was tough, determined, and unrelenting in what she believed was best for Boca Raton.

Not one to mince her words, she was candid and at times colorful. Whenever she disagreed with my reporting, she would either call me or pull me aside in City Hall and share her disappointment, almost like an elementary teacher would.

Matching Mayor Whelchel’s intensity was her compassion for all, especially for those who were vulnerable. She made it her quest to make Boca Raton a world class community.

In her early campaign for office, she pledged to improve the quality of the city’s schools and make higher education more attractive. (She served four years as a board member on Florida Atlantic University Research Park after she retired from politics).

She wanted to make sure Boca Raton kids would return home after completing college and university. She worked hard to establish the Don Estridge Middle School, a high-tech choice public school on land once occupied by IBM off Spanish River Boulevard.

Lindy Harvey, executive director of the Spirit of Giving, had reservations about sending her children to Boca Raton High until Mayor Whelchel, who was then on the school board, assured her that everything would be fine.

“She said, ‘I can’t tell you why, but I promised you it’s going to be ok,’” recalled Harvey, who enrolled all her children in the school. They previously attended private school. “All three of my children attended Boca High all because she told me it is going to be ok.”

After capping a 30-year teaching career,

she entered politics in 1995 when she was elected to the Boca Raton City Council. She easily was re-elected twice and was termlimited from running again. However, she continued public service when former Gov. Jeb Bush appointed her to a two-year term on the Palm Beach County School Board.

Mayor Whelchel returned to the City Council, serving two more terms before her election as mayor in 2008, a position she held until she retired in 2014. Still her work did not end after retirement. She was instrumental, the following year, in Boca Raton being named the 11th best city in the country.

To her credit, she is responsible for creating thousands of jobs by enticing Office Depot, ADT Security Services, Lord & Taylor and other companies to the area.

Her legacy extends beyond the city of Boca Raton since she affected many lives through her years of teaching and serving on the School Board.

“She was so committed to this community and did everything she could to make it” a first-class community, Harvey added.

Farewell Mayor. Job Well Done!

POSITIVE LIVING By: Dr. Synesio Lyra

A Hunger for Knowledge Every field of knowledge is expanding, and new areas of intellectual investigation are being developed at rapid pace. Several new bona fide academic disciplines are born all the time, becoming a significant part of universities, colleges and graduate schools curricula, in varied new subjects. Books and essays on these subjects also bound!

Instead of discouraging the public from pursuing these, hopefully many will there be who will immerse themselves in learning what is new and worth to be learned, knowing in greater depth what is there to be known, so as to affect societies in varSeptember 23 - September 29, 2022

ied, positive ways.

Contemporary thinker and author, Os Guinness, stressed in one of his many books that “there is always more to knowing than human knowing will ever know.”

Even then, the incentive can be present to devote study time and discipline to grasp what can be known and transform such new discovery into concrete acts of service for other segments of society.

In spite of such plethora of possibilities, one will pursue only an area of personal interest. This may come via courses taken, conferences attended, degrees sought,

or merely through personal readings which can grant reasonable amounts of significant new knowledge of the subject in question.

In ancient times, the author of the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes, reflected that “of making many books there is no end..” (12:12a) I wonder what he would say if he lived in the 21st century, when book production has reached enormous proportions, be they in printed form or electronically.

All this simply points to the fact that no one needs to remain in ignorance about any subject because so much has been written about all that individuals and multitudes

www.bocaratontribune.com

desire to learn, know and apply!

Although knowing has an immediate effect on the knower, it should also produce a positive effect on many others who can benefit from what others come to acquire and utilize in bringing advantages to countless more fellow members of the human race.

Knowledge is not intended to create an elite in any society and, to the extent that it is properly stimulated among children, youth, and adults, it will achieve healthy results in those seekers as it has been the case for many generations already!

ROBERT’S COMMUNITY REPORT

By: Rick Boxx

By: Robert Weinroth

Around Palm Beach County with Mayor Weinroth On Sept.14, 2022, Mayor Weinroth attended the Chamber of Commerce of the Palm Beaches Trustee Council Luncheon at The Ben in West Palm Beach. Mayor Weinroth provided an overview of current county priorities related to the business community including economic development initiatives. He also addressed affordable/ workforce housing and public transportation challenges. The chamber is an important business and community resource and focuses on developing and retaining businesses. It takes an active role in issues affecting local companies’ profitability and protecting and improving the quality of life for residents.

At the Board of County Commissioners meeting on Sept. 13, 2022, Mayor Robert S. Weinroth presented a proclamation declaring Sept. 24-Oct. 2, 2022, as Diaper Need Awareness Week in Palm Beach County. Addressing diaper needs can lead to economic opportunity for low-income families and improved health for families and their communities.

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

At the Board of County Commissioners meeting on Aug. 23, 2022, Mayor Robert S. Weinroth presented a certificate of commendation to Nicole Farley, a student at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, for her bravery in saving the life of a local beachgoer who was caught in an ocean rip current while swimming near the South Beach Pavilion in Boca Raton on March 19, 2022.

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.

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!

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 volunteerbased design team created a police-themed 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.

Uncovering and Utilizing Your Unique Gifts In evaluating people for specific jobs and responsibilities, we often consider education, experience, impressive resumes, and various personal traits. But do we take into account a person’s inherent gifts?

Some time ago, while teaching about “Calling,” I challenged a group to pray for God to reveal their unique skills and abilities. Because many times we find the innate gifts that we have had virtually from birth can be significant factors in our success in the workplace. These traits can help to define what we have been “called” to do both professionally and personally.

This prompted considerable discussion, especially some of the participants had never stopped to assess areas in which they might be uniquely gifted.

One participant, a legal secretary, later told me she believed God had more for her, so she decided to pray for God to reveal what that might be, to give her clarity concerning her future vocational pursuits.

That week, her boss informed her that executives at their company’s headquarters were so impressed with her training skills that they decided to promote her, giving her the title and responsibility of National Trainer for their legal secretaries. She was delighted. After doing so well in her role as an administrative assistant, she discovered God had much more in mind for her.

Failing to recognize the unique capacities God has built into each one of us can result in our failure to fully realize and fulfill our potential. We see this principle being illustrated in a number of places in the Bible. For example, in the book of Exodus – after the Israelites had been

www.bocaratontribune.com

freed from the bondage and tyranny of the Egyptians – God identified specific individuals to carry out clearly defined tasks.

One of them was a man named Bezalel, who would be charged with the design and creation of implements and facilities for worship.

Exodus 31:1-3 says, “Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘See, I have chosen Bezalel...and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts.’” We then see Bezalel overseeing and performing beautifully detailed work intended to assist the Israelites in their regular worship of the God who had provided for them so wonderfully.

Thinking about how the Lord uniquely and specifically gifts each one of us, I think of Eric Liddell, who was portrayed in the 1981 film, “Chariots of Fire.” Liddell had committed to serve as a missionary to China, but also was a gifted athlete.

In one scene, after he inadvertently misses a church prayer meeting because he was at practice running, his sister Jennie approaches him in anger. She accuses him of no longer caring about God. Liddell’s response is humble, yet direct. He explains that he does intend to go to the mission field in China, but also feels divinely inspired when running – and that not to run would be to dishonor God. In the film he says, “I believe that God made me for a purpose. But He also made me fast, and when I run, I feel His pleasure.”

As we work, do we “feel God’s pleasure”? Like Bezalel, we all have God-given skills, abilities, and knowledge. Ask Him to reveal them and use them for His glory.

The quilting bee is comprised of new members who have just begun learning how to quilt, alongside long-time members with decades of experience.

by Zoetis, have honored their tremendous accomplishments.

How to Support a Loved One With COPD (StatePoint) It can be scary when a loved one is diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

COPD affects more than 15 million Americans and is responsible for one death every 4 minutes nationwide, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. However, experts say that with a solid understanding of the disease, you’ll be equipped to help your loved one control symptoms and breathe better.

“Caregivers play an integral role in helping a patient manage COPD at home,” says Jennifer Sheets, president and chief executive officer of Interim HealthCare Inc., the nation’s leading franchise network of home care, senior care, care coordination, home health, hospice and healthcare staffing services.

According to Sheets, here are a few key ways you can help those living with COPD: • Support them in their effort to quit smoking.

• Dust and vacuum regularly, change HVAC filters and take other steps to improve air quality in their home.

• Eliminate COPD triggers from their environment. This includes the car and other spaces your loved one spends time.

• Ensure prescriptions are refilled and remind them to take their medication at scheduled times.

• Ensure they’re using their inhaler properly and assist with prescribed oxygen when needed.

• Prepare meals that comply with their prescribed diet.

• Participate in approved exercises and encourage them in all aspects of COPD self-care.

• Organize their home for easier access to frequently used items.

• Keep scheduled doctor appointments and document their condition for their physician, always reporting early signs of flare-ups.

• Lead them in breathing exercises

when they’re anxious.

• Assist with daily tasks that deplete their energy and encourage them to rest.

Sheets also suggests that families consider professional home-based care, which can serve as an extension of the doctor’s office and keep individuals living healthfully and comfortably at home.

She points out that for the majority of people, home is the preferred place for care: an Interim HealthCare survey found that 65% of Americans would have considered home healthcare as an alternative to a hospital stay in the past if they had known it was an option.

“A home healthcare team can educate your family on signs and symptoms of worsening COPD, when to notify the physician, and common triggers of COPD, along with how to manage them to reduce flare-ups and hospitalizations,” says Sheets. “Beyond helping you directly manage the condition, they can also assist with grooming, meals and housekeeping -- all the daily tasks that make living with COPD a little easier.”

In the case of Interim HealthCare, its proprietary training programs enable home health clinicians and paraprofessionals to provide valuable education and assistance to clients and families in familiar surroundings. Additionally, Interim’s care philosophy, HomeLife Enrichment, is designed to engage the mind, body, spirit and family in a personalized plan of care. A key element of this initiative is a new caregiver’s guide, “Caring for a Loved One With COPD,” which provides caregivers with a deeper understanding of the disease and the care protocols to help manage it. To access this resource, visit info.interimhealthcare.com/copdcaregivers-guide. For more information or to locate an Interim HealthCare office, visit interimhealthcare.com.

“While a COPD diagnosis can feel like a loss of control, there are steps you can take to manage your health and ensure a good quality of life,” says Sheets.

5 Ways to Save at a Time of Higher Gas Prices and Rising Inflation (StatePoint) With higher gas prices and rising inflation putting pressure on finances, drivers are looking for ways to save on the cost of car ownership. On average, it costs between $15,000- $24,000 to own a car over a five-year period, including fuel, maintenance, insurance, repairs, financing and state fees.

While some of those costs are beyond your control, here are five things you can do to lower the cost of car ownership: 1. When shopping for a vehicle, compare prices at multiple dealerships and research factors that will influence the cost of owning a particular model car, such as its fuel efficiency, along with the estimated cost of repairs and parts replacements down the line.

2. Scan local gas stations for the best price and consider becoming a rewards member at grocery stores that offer fuel perks. Certain gas brands have rewards programs as well, many of which you can access via smartphone apps.

3. Consider setting up a savings account for car-related expenses. Earmarking some of your income for automotive Plus

needs will help ensure you can cover expected and unexpected costs.

4. Drive safely and more consciously to conserve fuel. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, “obeying the speed limit, accelerating and braking gently and

gradually, and reading the road ahead can improve the fuel economy of your vehicle by 15%-30% at highway speeds and 10%40% in stop-and-go traffic.”

5. Talk to your insurance agent to make sure you are getting all the car in-

www.bocaratontribune.com

surance discounts you deserve. Erie Insurance offers a wide range of discounts and money-saving features, such as first accident forgiveness, diminishing deductible, reduced usage, youthful driver and college student. They also offer a discount for bundling policies and have an app called YourTurn that can reward you for safe driving. Drivers may earn up to $20 a month in gift cards. To learn more, visit erieinsurance.com.

“We know that at a time of rising prices people are looking for ways to reduce the cost of car ownership, and insurance is one place to start,” said Bob Buckel, vice president, Personal Auto, Erie Insurance.

“Looking for a plan that gives you exactly what you need and nothing you don’t means you’ll be protected while not paying any more than you should. This is a great time to reach out to your independent insurance agent to review your policy and discounts.”

While the future of inflation rates and gas prices is uncertain, the good news is there are creative ways to lower the cost of owning your car so you can enjoy the road.

The Boca Raton Announces Highly Anticipated Fall Opening of Tower South Florida’s iconic resort and private club, The Boca Raton, announces the highly anticipated fall opening of Tower, its fully reimagined fifth hotel that will provide an elevated new perspective on luxury travel. Following a $65 million transformation, the 27-story Tower will showcase expansive suites, breathtaking vistas and distinct programming that deliver an unmatched experience for the whole family. All are just steps from Harborside Pool Club, a sparkling oasis where new offerings are also on the horizon.

“Over this past year, we’ve ushered in a new chapter of The Boca Raton, referred to as A New Golden Era,” said Daniel A. Hostettler, President & CEO of The Boca Raton. “Integral to the experience was to create distinct identities for our five luxury hotels, each with its own leadership and amenities. The relaunch of Tower is a meaningful milestone in this evolution. Tower will further define The Boca Raton as one of the world’s most distinguished resorts and private clubs, setting a new standard for luxury hospitality.”

Tower’s story began in 1969 when it opened as Boca Raton’s tallest building. It still holds that title, giving Tower the sensation of being in a modern-day castle in the clouds, where views stretch on forever. Paying homage to its original pink facade, Tower’s exterior is being refreshed to a light Coastal Pink hue. Restoring the allure of the beloved building is an inte-

gral part of its new chapter, as visioned with Jorge Garcia, CEO of architecture firm Garcia Stromberg.

The hotel’s 224 spacious rooms and suites have been fully reimagined by celebrated architecture and design firm Rockwell Group. Bright and airy with warm wood accents, each room features sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and coastline. As described by Shawn Sullivan, Partner at Rockwell Group, “We redesigned the rooms with a contemporary coastal feel imbued with a sense of casual luxury to flaunt the spectacular 360-degree views.

This meant adding built-in window seating, bleached wood furniture, neutral linen fabrics, fluted feature walls and classic molding.” Rooms and suites will deliver contemporary and flexible configurations,

Her appointment was approved unanimously by the Florida Atlantic University Board of Trustees.

Beyond Varicose Veins:

Medical and Cosmetic Treatment Offered at Baptist Health Vein Care and cosmetic to address varicose veins and other symptoms of venous disease.

“We look at the entire circulatory system,” says Eileen de Grandis, M.D., a vascular surgeon and medical director of the Vein Clinic.

“We look for venous disease, arterial disease and lymphatic disease. We get you the right diagnosis for what you have, and then tailor a plan to treat what you want and need.”

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted or bulging veins that can be blue, red or skin-colored. They’re a very common reason for women to visit a vein clinic. But about half of all women who consult with Dr. de Grandis are diagnosed with other underlying health issues.

aricose veins often spur women to visit vein clinics that offer mostly cosmetic solutions.

Affecting an estimated 30 million U.S. adults, varicose veins may cause swelling, aches and pains.

Sometimes a result of blood clots deep inside the leg, and not always considered serious, they can lead to skin ulcers. Enlarged varicose veins and swollen legs may also signal other potentially serious health issues, such as deep vein thrombosis or DVT.

In serious cases, DVT can cause a blood clot to partially or totally break away and travel to the lungs.

The vascular team at the Vein Clinic at Boca Raton Regional Hospital provides comprehensive treatments that are both therapeutic September 23 - September 29, 2022

“Many women will have multiple problems, such as heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes,” explains Dr. de Grandis. “We treat the aesthetic as well, but we are a comprehensive vascular center and we treat the circulation system as a whole. The Vein Clinic offers a wide range of procedures tailored to your needs. These may include: ■

Ablation – removal of veins with a heat source

■

Filters – to prevent clots from going to the lungs

■

Mechanical thrombectomy – physical removal of blood clots

■

Phlebectomy – micro-incisions to remove veins

■

Sclerotherapy – chemical injections to remove veins

■

Stents – metal tubes that open blocked blood veins www.bocaratontribune.com

■

Thrombolytic therapy – chemicals to dissolve blood clots

■

Ultrasound – noninvasive imaging of veins to help diagnose underlying disease

In addition to varicose and spider veins, the experts also treat a wide range of venous diseases and cosmetic issues, including: ■

Blood clots and DVT

■

Chronic venous hypertension

■

Post-thrombotic syndrome

■

Venous insufficiency

FAU Hosts Wallach Holocaust and Jewish Studies Building Event Florida Atlantic University ceremoniously broke ground on its future Kurt and Marilyn Wallach Holocaust and Jewish Studies Building today at its Boca Raton campus. Thanks to a historic $20 million gift from the Wallachs in November 2020, FAU is an epicenter for intercultural dialogue and education in the greater South Florida region.

The Wallach’s transformational gift includes $10 million to construct what will become a prominent building on campus, designed to serve as the hub for Holocaust and Jewish studies, human rights’ education, and leadership training. It also will memorialize the 6 million Jews and other victims of the Holocaust, honor its survivors, and bring together educational programs that champion social justice, compassion and understanding through enhanced collaborations.

As part of the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, the facility also will bring together the College’s other signature programs under one roof, including: Arthur and Emalie Gutterman Family Center for Holocaust and Human Rights Education Raddock Family Eminent Scholar in Holocaust Studies Herbert and Elaine Gimelstob Eminent Scholar in Jewish Studies Holocaust and Jewish Studies programs Center for Peace, Justice and Human Rights Leon Charney Diplomacy Program

Barb Schmidt Fellowship: Cultivating Community Involvement, Advocacy and Social Change.

“Our reason for donating this building is twofold,” said Marilyn Wallach. “The first is to honor the memory of the more than 200 members of my husband’s family that were murdered in the Holocaust.

The second is the hope that this undertaking will prevent other families from having the same loss that he endured. Our world today is full of hate, and that is the breeding ground for the next Holocaust. Let us hope that our mantra at FAU, ‘Education is Our Best Hope Against Hatred,’ will make a difference!”

The second half of the Wallach’s gift is a $10 million estate donation designated to establish the future Wallach Institute for Holocaust and Jewish Studies with an endowment to fund faculty and staff, visiting scholars, lectures, educational outreach, scholarships and fellowships, study abroad opportunities, research, programming, equipment, capital expenditures or building improvements in these disciplinary areas, and related activities with a mission to deter hate, bias and discrimination.

“We believe education is our best hope against hatred,” said Michael J. Horswell, Ph.D., dean of the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters. “The philanthropy that the Wallach family invested in FAU and the greater South Florida community will ensure that the lessons of the past are relevant today and into perpetuity, providing the resources to teach the importance of understanding history, speaking up, and acting against all forms of bigotry and prejudice.”

Ku r t Wa l lach passed away in September 2021, however, the Wallach building and institute will carry on his legacy and desire to educate the community about the Holocaust and its atrocities, while building on FAU’s traditions of excellence. FAU’s eminent scholar Alan L. Berger, D.Litt., the Raddock Family Eminent Scholar Chair for Holocaust Studies, was the first Holocaust chair established in the Florida, impacting the region for decades with his research and teaching.

The Herbert and Elaine Gimelstob Eminent Scholar in Jewish Studies Chair also enriches the University and community through research, public lectures and international conferences. The Arthur and

Emalie Gutterman Family Center for Holocaust and Human Rights Education at FAU has provided K-12 teachers with training for the teaching of the Holocaust for the past 25 years.

“We are honored and grateful for Kurt and Marilyn Wallach’s enormous generosity,” said FAU President John Kelly. “This historic gift will ensure that, through education, we continue to build bridges of understanding and empathy for generations to come.”

FAU’s Peace, Justice and Human Rights Center is a university-wide effort that unites scholars, students, practitioners and community leaders engaged in the themes of social justice, human rights, and peace and nonviolence. Within the center, the Leon Charney Diplomacy Program provides students interested in international affairs opportunities to enhance their diplomatic skills in areas such as speech writing, public speaking, negotiation, dispute resolution and research. The Barb Schmidt Fellowship also offers dual-enrolled high school students a platform to develop the essential life and leadership skills essential for driving social change, while enhancing their self-care and mindfulness.

A fundraising campaign to energize the impact and reach of its programs will soon begin, as FAU plays a significant role in coordinating Jewish and Holocaust studies, human rights education, and leadership training across the University and throughout the community.

SPORTS Men’s soccer earns draw at Barry

The Lynn University men’s soccer team earned a much needed and hardfought draw with league-leading Barry, 0-0, Wednesday night.

The Fighting Knights improve to a 1-3-4 overall on the season and 1-2-1 in the SSC. Barry entered the game atop the conference standings and now sit at 5-1-2 overall and 2-02 in the SSC. Barry outshot the Fighting Knights 9-4, but each team was only able to

put one attempt on goal. Graduate Moritz Lusch put a shot on net in the 67th minute that forced a save from Buccaneer keeper Jean Claude Consol.

M e a n w h i l e, Barry’s only shot on goal came in the 53rd minute when Daniel Schaal ripped a shot that forced a save from Lynn keeper Luca Clavero. The Fighting Knights had just one shot in the opening period and three in the second half. Lynn’s final attempt came in the 85th minute when graduate David Bauer sent a shot wide of the net.

Calvero played the full 90 minutes in net and collected his second shutout of the season Lynn hosts Saint Leo next Wednesday at 6:00 pm at Bobby Campbell Stadium.

Palmateer Named FAU Athletics’ Director of Mental Health Tess Palmateer, PhD, CMPC, has been named Florida Atlantic University athletics’ director of mental health, announced Brian White, FAU’s vice president and director of athletics, on Tuesday.

“Tess Palmateer’s experience and expertise in the mental health field will be a tremendous asset to our studentathletes,” White said. “We are proud to be on the forefront of providing mental health resources to our student-athletes. In addition, we are grateful to the Schmidt Family Foundation for their generous gift that allowed us to create this position. Our goal is to provide the highest-quality experience possible for Owl student-athletes. Included in that goal is a first-class, holistic approach to their health and safety, of which mental health is a key component.”
