FAU Seeks Participants For Study on Effects of Harmful Algal Blooms

During harmful algal blooms, species of cyanobacteria release a variety of toxic compounds including microcystins, a potent toxin, into local waterways. Human exposure comes from ingestion, direct skin contact or inhalation, and can lead to a variety of symptoms ranging from gastroenteritis, nausea, allergic reactions and skin rashes to liver damage in severe cases. Despite numerous occurrences of red tide and blue green algae in Florida waters, our understanding of the long-term health effects of exposure to these blooms remains limited.

Researchers from Florida Atlantic University’s Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing and Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute are currently seeking participants for a study evaluating potential impacts of exposure to harmful algal blooms. With another grant from the Florida Department of Health (FDOH), they will continue a first-of-its-kind evaluation of both the short-term and potential long-term health effects among Florida residents. The “Long-term Effects of Exposure to Harmful Algal Blooms” (LEE-HABs) study uses a collaborative, multisite approach which includes researchers from Florida Gulf Coast University.

The research team currently has an active cohort of 150 participants and they are recruiting 30 additional participants this year (2022-23). They will be recruiting and collecting non-bloom data at the Cape Coral Public Works, at 815 Nicholas Parkway East, on Sept. 26 from 1 to 4 p.m., and Sept. 27 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

This latest study expands upon prior studies conducted in 2016, 2018 and previous FDOH studies from 2019 to 2020 and 2021 to 2022.

“We have very little data on human exposure to these blooms despite the prevalence and intensity cyanobacterial blooms in South Florida,” said Shirley Gordon, Ph.D., principal investigator and a professor in the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing. “Understanding short- and longterm health impacts is crucial to protecting Floridians’ health. By developing tools to measure concentrations of harmful alSeptember 30 - October 6, 2022

gal blooms toxins in the environment and multiple human tissues we will gain a better understanding of this ongoing issue in Florida and elsewhere.”

The study also is the first to evaluate the potential effect of exposure to COVID-19. Researchers are exploring if there is a relationship between a history of being infected with COVID-19 and susceptibility to the effects of harmful algal blooms exposure.

The latest study involves a survey to identify the potential routes, duration and types of exposure to blooms through recreational and occupational activities. Researchers also will assess potential effects on individuals with pre-existing conditions such as asthma and chronic gastrointestinal disorders. Bloodwork including liver enzymes and renal markers will also be included in this study.

Algal toxin concentrations including microcystin and brevotoxin will be measured in blood, urine and nasal mucosa.

The toxin levels also will be used to understand the dose-response relationships with self-reported respiratory, dermal and gastrointestinal symptoms. Urine and blood analyses will be conducted in collaboration with the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is developing methodology to detect emerging algal toxins in human tissues.

The study includes conducting environmental sampling of water and air to measure potential sources of exposure.

Researchers have developed a bio-repository and participant registry to store the data and samples in collaboration with FAU’s Clinical Research Unit within the FAU Division of Research . The purpose is to build an ongoing infrastructure to support the team’s long-term studies on the health effects of exposure to current and emerging harmful algal blooms toxins and serve as a resource for researchers around the state.

Malcolm McFarland, Ph.D., a research associate at FAU Harbor Branch, is coprincipal investigator of the study. The research team also includes Kathi Harvey, Ph.D., a nurse practitioner and an assistant professor in the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing; and Michael Parsons, Ph.D., co-investigator and a professor of marine science at Florida Gulf Coast University.

For more information or to participate in the study, call or text 561-297-4631, or email Gordon at NurHAB@health.fau. edu. Community participants will receive $25 in gift cards as an incentive for participating in data collection activities each year.

PBSC sees upward trend in fall term enrollment Palm Beach State College’s fall term enrollment is up 6% compared to the prior year as more students returned to school or started their education.

With nearly 25,000 students enrolled for face-to-face and online classes, this marks the first time since fall 2018 that enrollment increased over the prior fall term.

“I’m excited to see more students back in school or launching their higher education to achieve their goals,’’ said PBSC President Ava L. Parker, J.D. “The pandemic led many students to reassess their plans, and it’s reassuring that they still see the value of a college education and its role in the trajectory of their future.”

College leaders attribute the enrollment hike to strategic outreach, recruitment and marketing strategies, as well as a general interest among students in returning to some sense of normalcy.

“I think they’re coming out of the pandemic period and people are getting back to normal trends,’’ said Dr. Stephen Joyner, associate vice president for enrollment and retention.

Contributing to the enrollment increase are two initiatives launched during the summer to eliminate financial barriers for students: Restart Your Dream and Fresh Start.

The Restart Your Dream initiative, funded

by The Foundation for Palm Beach State College, offered free in-state tuition this fall to up to 2,000 students who had attended PBSC from fall 2017 to summer 2021 but stopped. More than 900 students enrolled this term through the initiative. The College plans to extend the offer to the spring term for students who qualified but did not start school this fall.

The Fresh Start initiative, covered with CARES Act Higher Education Emergency Relief funding, targeted students who attended PBSC between fall 2021 and summer 2022 and had a registration hold because of an unpaid balance. More than 1,500 students have had their holds removed and their past balance paid. Students could not register for classes with the holds on their accounts.

“Both initiatives were successful, particularly Fresh Start,’’ Joyner said. “I would like to thank the Foundation for Palm Beach State College for its support.”

www.bocaratontribune.com

Joyner said enrollment also is up among first-time-in-college and dual enrollment students, two populations that had declined early in the pandemic as the College moved to remote instruction.

“We have enrolled more new students this fall than in the prior two fall terms,’’ Joyner said. “It’s a sign that high school students are starting to be interested in college again, and applications are up. During the pandemic, many high school graduates were taking time off. Now they’re starting to come back.”

While enrollment is higher this fall over the most recent fall terms, Joyner says it is not where it was before the pandemic.

“We have not recovered and gotten back to the pre-pandemic enrollment numbers, but we’re moving in the right direction. I’m optimistic that the trend will continue.”

More students also are taking faceto-face classes this fall compared to the previous fall, but the highest area of enrollment for the College remains online courses with 57% of course enrollments being for fully online, live online and hybrid classes.

“During the pandemic, students learned the convenience of taking online classes. If they are students looking for convenience, they can take online classes and not have to drive to a different campus or a campus at all,’’ Joyner said. “It can be easier to take online classes around their work or life schedules, but students who are interested in a more traditional college experience are taking in-person classes.

Counting their Blessings She lost her mother, sister, and brother when their house collapsed from the massive 7.0 magnitude earthquake that rocked Haiti on Jan. 12, 2010.

Jude Saincyr and her cousin, the only survivors in their home, were stuck under a bed, which shielded them from the rubble.

“The bricks fell on the bed and one side of the bed broke,” Saincyr, a graduating senior at Atlantic High School, recalled this week. “We were under the other side until they found us about four hours later.”

As we enter the season of giving, Saincyr has so much for which to be grateful: a new lease on life and the opportunity to get a college education, thanks to a local nonprofit organization. After the disaster, her father sent her to Tallahassee, but the teenager did not attend school for a year.

That opportunity was priceless, she said, adding that the organization, formerly known as Delray Students First, prepared her through practice to get better scores on the SAT and ACT tests.

“They made me a better test taker through lots of practice every week,” said Saincyr, who plans to pursue her nursing degree at Florida Atlantic University in the Fall. “We don’t get our motivations unless there is someone there to motivate you. We don’t know what we want unless someone tells us about it.”

Like Saincyr, a handful of students who were enrolled in Bound for College, shared their stories to a roomful of people at Delray Marketplace. They are grateful for the life skills, career planning, mental health counseling, college tours and educational field trips that the program provides.

College was not in her reach for various reasons, she said, until she was introduced to Bound for College.

“I didn’t know how I was going to pay for college, but they helped me with my essays and helped me improve my SAT and ACT scores, so I could get 75 percent Bright Future Scholarship. Now, I don’t have to worry about money.”

Through the affiliation, the students were awarded the prestigious Eda and Cliff Viner Community Scholarship, a four-year award to a state university or college for academically deserving students in Boca Raton and Delray Beach who have financial needs and are community service driven.

Despite last year’s challenges, many of us are still thankful, and although we have the chance for a more normal Thanksgiving this year, many, such as Anna Marie Valdez, will still connect virtually.

The mother of three, who lost a sister, a neighbor and a brother-in-law to COVID-19, has not mustered the courage to venture out.

“I am still not comfortable getting around crowds and I can’t say if and when I will be,” she said.

Upon returning to school, Aiden hit the jackpot when his elementary school teacher handpicked him to be in Star Makers, a STEM-centered afterschool program on campus.

“We have a lot of fun,” said Aiden, who is thankful for being back in school after being cooped up in his home. “We learn about airplanes, and we learn how to take pictures and how to wash clothes and cook.”

Samuel is grateful for loving parents.

“I’m most thankful for my family and that they love me, and they take care of me every time I need care, or when I need help with homework,” the fourth grader at Orchard View Elementary said. “Some other kids might get money, but I get love.

Some kids may get gifts, but I get hugs.”

Like many of you, I am grateful for so many things: the essential workers - doctors, nurses and other medical workers who have braved the virus to attend to patients in nursing homes, hospitals and clinics, and saved many lives - law enforcement and fire personnel, postal employees, delivery workers and those who work at supermarkets, pet stores and pharmacies, farms and processing plants, factories and distribution centers.

POSITIVE LIVING By: Dr. Synesio Lyra

Always Be On The Lookout!

If you attempt to go anywhere with your eyes closed, you’ll most certainly stumble somewhere and fall, besides other possible disasters your lack of caution can cause. The same is equally true in our daily living in the world. It’s important that we always be on the lookout!

Live all your days with awareness of what is in front of you, what you’ve left behind, whatever surrounds you, and carve a safe path to lead you to where you need to be, so as to get there efficiently, doing much good while you’re en route as well as at your place of arrival.

The idea of always being on the lookout does not denote spy tactics.

September 30 - October 6, 2022

It’s also not to intrude or meddle into somebody else’s territory. The purpose should never be to force your way into somebody or something where you might not belong, or even be welcome!

I once read a significant challenge about two houses. One was filled with mirrors around all its walls; the other contained a great number of windows all over. The question was: What kind of house would you prefer to inhabit – the one filled with mirrors, where you would only look at yourself all the time, or a house with many windows, out of which you could contemplate the world, your surroundings, and the needs you could detect from that van-

tage point of viewing?

When I recommend to myself and my readers always to be on the lookout, my intent is precisely to urge us all to be sensitive to much that surrounds us, particularly the needs that expect from us possible solutions we may be able to provide.

The world requires more concerned people, more observant individuals, more persons in search of fresh opportunities to do good for the benefit of others. Everywhere countless fellow humans lack encouragement, both to proceed in the route where they find themselves, as well as to find new trajectories in life wherein challenges will be found through

www.bocaratontribune.com

which needs may be met, seeds may be sown, and rich harvests may also be gathered.

Everybody is uniquely equipped with ideas and skills which, if transformed into positive action, can contribute significantly to improve other lives and, in the process, make this world a better place. Let us never minimize what we already have; let us simply find concrete ways of doing what we can, with what we already possess, for the benefit of others who need our personal deeds and contributions! Persons prepared to keep their eyes widely open, shall never miss new opportunities anywhere, to bless other lives in significant ways!

ROBERT’S COMMUNITY REPORT

By Rick Boxx

By: Robert Weinroth

Around Palm Beach County with Mayor Weinroth 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 volunteer-based 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.

The Benefits of Pursuing True Greatness How would you define “greatness”? Or to put it another way, what would it require to achieve true greatness in the business and professional world?

Some would connect greatness with the attaining of mass amounts of material wealth. Others might say that to be great, one would have to earn high status or fame within their chosen field of endeavor. For some, greatness means becoming the featured subject of articles in prestigious periodicals or being a celebrity who is interviewed on TV shows or used in commercials to pitch the company’s products.

Each of those is significant, different ways for measuring high levels of achievement. But do they truly equate to greatness?

Many people have attained such heights in their professions, only to find themselves wondering with regret, “Is that all there is?”

Let me tell you about someone I know who has a very different perspective on greatness.

Doug, a retired business owner, told me recently he had just returned from a weeklong fly-fishing trip to Montana, with 10 younger men. Doug is in his 70’s, but most of the group consisted of men in their 40’s. With such an age disparity, why would someone like Doug devote so much time with these men? He explained: “I don’t like fishing. I only caught five fish all week, but I have mentored many of these men for years. It is extremely worthwhile for me to see them enjoy the outdoors while we also study the Bible.”

As a mentor, Doug is not only sharing his personal experience and insights with these men, but is also pointing them to the one unchanging, timeless source of truth

www.bocaratontribune.com

and wisdom - the Word of God - and helping them to understand how it relates to every area of their lives.

Clearly, Doug does not have to do this.

As a retired businessman, he could be “resting on his laurels,” or spending leisure time engaged in hobbies or other interests he did not have as much time for when he was working full-time. In reality, he is pursuing a special interest: the desire to help younger men to grow in their faith and learn how to become effective, fruitful servants of the Lord where they work and live. As 2 Corinthians 5:20 describes it, to become “ambassadors for Christ.”

In one sense, Doug is sacrificing his time. But he really does not view it that way.

He regards it a very special privilege to help others learn and practice God’s ways. And in the process, even though he does not claim this for himself, he is fulfilling what Jesus Christ said in Matthew 5:19, “Whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”

He is also applying another principle Jesus taught in His “sermon on the mount,” as recorded in Matthew 6:19:21, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moths nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Doug’s sacrifice may lead him to greatness in the kingdom. Better yet, he may just drag a few younger men along with him.

Rather than pursuing earthly rewards, he has his sights on what Jesus called, “fruit that will last” (John 15:16).

FAU Poll Shows Inflation Delivered Huge Blow to Summer Travel Plans

Inflation is a major concern for Floridians, with many saying the higher cost of living has greatly affected their finances and forced them to change summer travel plans, according to the latest statewide survey from the Florida Atlantic University Business and Economics Polling Initiative (FAU BEPI).

More than 85 percent of the 431 respondents said they are concerned or very concerned about the current rate of inflation, while 56 percent said the higher costs have hurt their family budgets. In addition, 63 per-

cent of respondents who did travel this summer opted to stay within the Sunshine State.

“The results of this survey closely resemble those from our poll in May,” said Monica Escaleras, Ph.D., director of FAU BEPI in the College of Business. “We see that due to inflation, Floridians who traveled for vacation this summer adjusted their plans. The good news is that those who traveled stayed close to home, which certainly helped Florida’s economy.”

Keep Medicines, Vitamins and Supplements Safely out of Children’s Reach

(StatePoint) While you may already understand the importance of keeping medicines safely up and away from the reach of little ones, you may not be treating your vitamins and other supplements with as much care. Experts warn that these products also pose safety risks and should be kept up and away and out of sight and reach of young children.

“We’ve seen this play out recently with melatonin supplements. Recent data show that between 2012–2021, the annual number of pediatric ingestions of melatonin increased more than 500%, with approximately 220,000 ingestions by young children reported to U.S. poison centers. Pediatric hospitalizations and more serious outcomes also increased, largely due to an increase in unintentional melatonin ingestions,” says Mary Leonard, managing director, Consumer Healthcare Product Association (CHPA) Educational Foundation. “Much like medication, you take vitamins and supplements to feel your best, but they can be dangerous if left out and within reach of children in the home.”

To keep kids safe, the CHPA Ed-

ucational Foundation in collaboration with the Up and Away campaign of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-led PROTECT Initiative, is reminding families that safe medicine storage also includes vitamins and other supplements. To prevent accidental ingestions, keep all medicines, vitamins and other supplements -- including those in gummy form -- up and away and out of sight and reach of young children. The following tips can help:

• Keep medicines, vitamins and other supplements (including those carried in purses, bags, pockets or pill organizers) in a safe location that is too high for young children to reach or see.

• Never leave medicines or vitamins out on a counter, table or at a sick child’s bedside.

• At home or away, keep medicines in child-resistant containers until right before you take them.

• Always relock the safety cap on

bottles. If it has a locking cap that turns, twist it until you can’t twist anymore or until you hear the “click.”

• Teach children what medicine and vitamins are and why you or another caregiver must be the one to give it to them.

• Never tell children that medicine or vitamins are candy so they’ll take it, even if your child doesn’t like to take their medicine.

• Remind babysitters, houseguests and visitors that purses, bags or jackets that have medicines or vitamins in them should be kept up and away and out of sight when they’re in your home.

• Keep the Poison Help number in all of your phones: (800) 222-1222 or text “POISON” TO 797979 to automatically save it.

For additional tips, safety information, and resources to spread these messages visit upandaway.org.

“Children are curious by nature, always getting their little hands into something they shouldn’t. We can’t stop their inquiring minds, but we can keep them safe by keeping medicines, vitamins, and supplements out of their sight and reach,” says Leonard.

Are You at Increased Risk of Getting Pneumococcal Pneumonia?

(StatePoint) Pneumococcal pneumonia is a potentially serious bacterial lung disease that can be contracted any time of year. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), pneumococcal pneumonia causes 150,000 annual hospitalizations nationwide. It can even be life-threatening in serious cases.

To help reduce the burden of this lung disease, the American Lung Association and Pfizer are partnering to share important facts about pneumococcal pneumonia for adults 65 or older and adults 19-64 with certain underlying health conditions. Here’s what to know: What is pneumococcal pneumonia?

Many people think pneumococcal pneumonia is a cold or the flu, but it’s not.

Pneumococcal pneumonia is caused by bacteria that live in the upper respiratory tract, and it can spread to others through coughing or close contact. Common symptoms include high fever, excessive sweating, shaking chills, coughing, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath and chest pain. Some symptoms can appear Plus

quickly and without warning.

Who is at risk? While anyone can get pneumococcal pneumonia, some people are at higher risk of getting severely ill, including those 19 or older with certain medical conditions such as asthma, COPD, chronic heart disease or diabetes, and adults who smoke cigarettes.

Additionally, even healthy adults 65 and

older are at increased risk because the body’s immune system naturally weakens with age. Visit Lung.org/pneumococcal to take a two-minute quiz to determine if you are at elevated risk.

How can you help prevent pneumococcal pneumonia? The CDC recommends pneumococcal pneumonia vaccination for adults 19 or older with

www.bocaratontribune.com

certain underlying medical conditions, and for adults 65 or older. Unlike the flu shot, you don’t need pneumococcal vaccination every year. Your healthcare provider can help you determine when you should be vaccinated against pneumococcal pneumonia. Infection can strike anytime, anywhere, in any season, so now is the time to talk to a healthcare provider about pneumococcal vaccination.

“Low vaccination rates leave far too many people vulnerable to pneumococcal pneumonia,” states Dr. Albert Rizzo, chief medical officer for the American Lung Association. “Keeping up to date with vaccinations is important for everyone, especially those living with chronic health conditions such as asthma or diabetes.”

For additional information and resources, visit Lung.org/pneumococcal.

Pneumococcal pneumonia is a potentially serious disease you shouldn’t ignore. Fortunately, you can help protect yourself by asking your doctor or pharmacist about vaccination.

Johnson Scholarships Enable Students to Pursue Big Dreams For three decades, Johnson Scholarships have enabled students to pursue their God-sized dreams.

Gabriella Winters, a senior studying marketing, co-led a service trip to South Africa this summer. She plans to graduate in December and return to South Africa “with two bags and a one-way plane ticket” to do long-term missionary work.

The Johnson Scholarship Foundation’s support has helped her graduate debt-free, making her dream of long-term missions possible.

Winters’ original plan was to open a coffee shop, but “after this summer, I want to dream bigger,” she said.

Winters was one of three students who shared their stories Tuesday afternoon in a celebration of the Johnson Scholarship Foundation’s long-term impact on PBA students. JSF funds scholarships and other programs that serve people in financial need. JSF CFO Richard Krause, Office Manager/Program Manager Sharon Wood and Program Specialist Lady Hereford attended. Krause is also a PBA trustee.

PBA President Dr. Debra A. Schwinn said 268 Palm Beach Atlantic students receive scholarships from the foundation, and more than 6,300 students have received Johnson Scholarships to date.

The Johnson Scholarship Foundation creates opportunities for students to come to PBA who otherwise may not be able to afford it, she said. Those students go on to improve lives around the world.

“I love the way that PBA graduates are servant leaders,” Schwinn said.

Two of those servant leaders are Johnson Scholarship recipients Esther Hagan and Anna Rose McIntyre. The alumnae won Fulbright awards to work in the Philippines and Bulgaria, respectively.

Palm Beach Atlantic alumni have earned 11 awards in the five years since the university’s Prestigious National Scholarship Program began. Hagan won two of those; her first award was to Taiwan.

Johnson Scholar Caleb Johnson applied to PBA at his mother’s urging, planning “to keep God in a little pocket of my life and do business the way I wanted.” That vision soon faded. PBA is a place where “we’re able to figure out what God is calling us to do and be obedient to it,” said the senior international business major from North Carolina.

“While my journey may not be anywhere near perfect, my God is,” Johnson said.

Johnson (no relation to the scholarship foundation’s namesake) plans to do

economic development in Mexico and support small businesses there, he said.

Enrique Franco Martin left Mexico and moved to California with his family nine years ago. He came from a family of farmers and is the first to attend a university. When he arrived in the U.S., he wa s s way e d by the culture and was losing touch with God, he said. “I was lost.”

His g odmother texted him and suggested he study at Palm Beach Atlantic. Franco Martin arrived as a student in 2020, during COVID-19. Nonetheless, “I felt at peace. I felt relief. I felt at home,” he said.

Three years ago, Franco Martin “was happy to become a U.S. citizen and pursue the American dream, just like Mr. Johnson did,” he said.

Theodore R. Johnson worked his way through college and, after joining the United Parcel Service (UPS) in the early 1920s, earned an MBA at night school.

He rose to vice president of labor relations and bought shares of UPS stock.

Johnson and his wife, Vivian Chesley Macleod Johnson, established the Johnson Scholarship Foundation in 1991.

While he pursues a degree in cinema arts, Franco Martin works on the video team in PBA’s Advancement office.

“Thanks to the Johnson Scholarship Foundation and PBA, I’ve been able to do what I enjoy doing, showing PBA — where you can keep your Christian values, your American values — to the world,” Franco Martin said.

Laura Bishop, PBA’s executive vice president for advancement, told students that Johnson was a hardworking man who “invested his dollars so that he could invest them back in you.” She added, “I think you all feel we’re making a difference in your lives, but what you don’t realize is that you’re making a difference in ours.”

In gratitude to the Johnson Scholarship Foundation, Bishop presented a framed antique scripture of Matthew 21:21-22.

Hereford, JSF’s program specialist, said the Johnsons believed in the power of education, specifically education that leads to employment. Mr. Johnson was a strong proponent of American free enterprise and entrepreneurship, she said.

Hereford told students, “The best thing you can do if you want to thank the Johnson Scholarship Foundation is to go out in the world and make a difference.”

The celebration concluded with seniors Joanna Zein-Eldin and Miriam Edele singing the praise song “Blessings.”

PBA Council for Intercultural Engagement Welcomes Jackson as Chair Dr. Jay Jackson, assistant dean for student affairs and assistant professor of pharmacy practice, has been named chair of the Council for Intercultural Engagement.

Dr. Terriel Byrd, the council’s first chairman, will continue in his position as the fellow for intercultural engagement. The Council for Intercultural Engagement exists to foster a climate of trust and respect as it helps students to think differently about various cultures and diversity.

Jackson said he is honored to continue the work that Byrd, the council and others have begun “to make PBA a more accurate representation of the beautiful family of God — a family that is both diverse and united.”

“My prayer for PBA is that we

would welcome, include and celebrate the diversity that each member of our community brings, while emphasizing the unity and oneness that we have in Christ,” Jackson said. “As the apostle Paul writes in Ephesians 4:4-6, ‘There is one body and one Spirit — just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call — one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.’”

Dr. Suzanne Cardona, associate professor of biology; Jin H a n ley, a s s o ciate professor of dance; Aida Castro, counseling and wellness coordinator and Travis Trotman, area coordinator, have joined the council. Cardona is the Faculty Senate representative.

Jackson will serve in a collaborative role with Byrd, who will over-

FAU Athletics Brings Awareness to Mental Health

Florida Atlantic University athletics is joining efforts with 118 participating colleges and universities to raise mental health awareness, destigmatize mental illness, and provide quality resources to student-athletes nationwide.

“At FAU, we strive to take a holistic approach when supporting our student-athletes, and their mental health and well-being is a big part of that,” said Dr. Tess Palmateer, the Director of Mental Health and Performance for the FAU athletics department.

“We hope that this week brings about a sense of openness surrounding mental health, empowers our student-athletes to ask for help, and lets them know that they are not alone!”

The Owls have programing throughout the week of October 1-8 celebrating the third annual Hilinki’s Hope Foundation’s College Football Mental Health Week.

The week will open with a joint effort between FAU and the University of North Texas at the football game, scheduled for 4 p.m. eastern time and airing on ESPN+, with helmet stickers and the holding up of three

fingers at the beginning of the third quarter.

Monday, the coaches and staff will start the week off right with Owl family crafts, music, games, and snacks exemplifying the importance of taking time for self-care.

Tuesday, student-athletes, coaches, and staff will be encouraged to write supportive messages for their Owl family as a tool of hope and help when they’re struggling.

A “Lunch and Learn” will be held focusing upon creating a safe and supportive sport environment.

Wednesday is the day to play. Athletics will host Paws to De-Stress, where studentathletes and coaches will be invited to hang out with certified therapy dogs in the Tom Oxley Founders’ Lounge.

Thursday, Palmateer, along with Dr. Raphi Wald, FAU’s Team Psychologist, will host “Your Mental Health Matters.” The program is designed to bring awareness to mental health.

Friday will conclude the week-long events with Hope Bracelets and use social media platforms to promote mental health awareness and fight the stigma.

Owls drop five-set battle at UTSA

Staring down a 2-0 deficit, Florida Atlantic University volleyball battled back to send the match to a decisive fifth, but the Owls (10-5, 0-3 C-USA) just ran out of steam as they dropped a 3-2 (19-25, 18-25, 25-22, 34-32, 5-15) battle against the UTSA Roadrunners (6-8, 1-1 C-USA) on Friday night at the Convocation Center.

FAU jumped out to an 11-6 lead to open the contest. The Owls continued to maintain a two-point lead through the first media timeout of the contest, 15-13. A kill from Valeria Rosado kept the FAU lead at two, 16-14, but a 7-0 UTSA run gave the Roadrunners their first lead of the contest, 21-16. The Owls cut the Roadrunner lead to four, 23-19, but it was just too little too late as UTSA would take the set 25-19 and the early 1-0 lead.

The second set was a battle of runs early. Both teams traded a pair of 4-0 and 3-0 runs to battle to a 7-7 stalemate to open the second. UTSA took a 10-9 lead, but a kill from Rosado and a Lauryn Green and Noelle Stephens block put the Owls back in front, 11-10. The Owls maintained a onepoint advantage through a 15-14 lead, but

UTSA outscored FAU 11-3 over the remainder of the sets to take second frame 25-18 and give the Roadrunners the 2-0 lead.

FAU took the early lead in the third 6-4, but UTSA responded on a 5-0 run to take their first lead of the set at 9-6. FAU battled back to tie things back up at 10 after a Roadrunners’ setting error. The match remained even at 15-15 before a 6-3 FAU run put the Owls back on top, 21-18, as the Owls looked to send the match to a fourth set. The Owls held set point at 24-20, before the Roadrunners scored a pair to cut the FAU lead to two, 24-22, but a kill from Rosado closed things out as the Owls took their first set of the match 25-22 and cut the deficit to one, 2-1.

The Owls looked to carry their positive momentum from the third set into the fourth. The Owls opened the frame on fire as they outscored the Roadrunners 7-1 to take a quick six-point advantage. The Owls extended their lead to eight at 13-5, but both sides continued to battle backand-forth until FAU held set-point at 2423. However, UTSA wasn’t going to let the Owls even the match that easily. The marathon set eventually came to a close with a 34-32 FAU win to bring the set even at two apiece and send the match to a decisive fifth set.

After battling to bring the match even at 2-2, the Owls just ran out of steam in the final set as UTSA outscored FAU 15-5 in the final frame and capture the 3-2 win.
