Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is on track for re-election, leading Democratic challenger Charlie Crist by 11 percentage points and garnering strong approval ratings, particularly for his response to Hurricane Ian, according to a new statewide poll from Florida Atlantic University.

In the race for Florida governor, DeSantis leads Crist 51 percent to 40 percent, a survey of registered voters by the Florida Atlantic University Business and Economics Polling Initiative (FAU BEPI) shows.

The Republican incumbent’s overall approval rating was 53 percent, and his hurricane response approval was better at 63 percent. In addition, 66 percent of respondents expect DeSantis to be re-elected.

“The governor’s hurricane response received strong approval among Floridians, who most likely favor him in the upcoming gubernatorial race,” said Monica Escaleras, Ph.D., director of FAU BEPI. The survey of 719 Floridians also revealed that inflation was the most important issue to voters by a wide margin at 36 percent. Threats to democracy was the next most important issue at 19 percent. Interestingly, only 9 percent of respondents felt abortion access was an important issue.

In the U.S. Senate race, Republican incumbent Marco Rubio leads Democratic challenger Val Demings 48 percent to 42 percent, with 7 percent still undecided. Also, 60 percent of respondents expect Rubio to be re-elected.

www.bocaratontribune.com

“Republicans continue to perform well in Florida,” said Kevin Wagner, Ph.D., a professor of political science at FAU and a research fellow of the initiative. “If these numbers hold, Florida’s status as a battleground state might be in question.”

Wagner noted that both Democratic candidates are doing well with younger voters, but they will need higher turnout to close the gaps in these races.

Other findings showed that respondents favored DeSantis and former U.S. President Donald Trump to U.S. President Joe Biden in a hypothetical 2024 matchup. DeSantis leads Biden 48 percent to 42 percent, while Trump tops Biden 45 percent to 41 percent.

Biden’s approval rating was underwater – 41 percent favored the job he is doing and 50 percent opposed.

Roughly 34 percent of respondents indicated the recent FBI search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago makes them less likely to support Trump if he runs again in 2024. A third of respondents said the raid would make them more likely to support Trump, while 33 percent said it would not make a difference.

The survey was conducted Oct. 12-16.

The survey has a margin of error of +/3.65 percentage points. The data was weighted by ethnicity, age, education, party affiliation, region and gender, based on 2020 turnout modeling. Data was collected using cell phones, land lines and an online panel provided by Dynata.

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.

Applying Corrective Measures For every mistake you make, for every task you leave unfinished, as you face insurmountable barriers, and for so much more, you can easily find and effectively apply the necessary corrective measures.

But this can happen only after you first acknowledge your deficiency and need. If you feel so self-sufficient, chances are you won’t ever seek help, or make amends on anything. For those reasons, you will not reap any benefits either. Don’t allow personal pride to prevent yourself from seeking the advice or counsel from others which, othOctober 28 - November 3, 2022

Remember always, all you attempt and achieve in life need not be perfect.

In fact, true perfection cannot be attained on earth, though in all you do you should still strive for the very best!

If you find yourself on the wrong road, or moving in the direction that won’t take you to where you desire to go, you have the opportunity to make a U-turn, or to take alternate routes as the corrective measure, so as to lead you forward.

Furthermore, if you catch any ill-

ness, you need not remain sick indefinitely; you have the opportunity to consult a physician, take prescribed medications, even have surgery if necessary, among several possible alternative options.

Rick Boxx

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…”

www.bocaratontribune.com

(Ecclesiastes 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.

PBSC gains national exposure as U.S. Senate debate host Palm Beach State College gained widespread exposure as host of the sole debate between incumbent U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio and his challenger U.S. Rep. Val Demings, which drew more than 75 media representatives to the Lake Worth campus and national news coverage.

A coalition of nonprofit, nonpartisan organizations arranged the one-hour Decision 2022: Before You Vote U.S. Senate Debate held on Oct. 18 as part of the longest running televised debate series in Florida’s modern history. Alongi Media was the executive producer.

The stage inside the Duncan Theatre was transformed into a red, white and blue backdrop for the debate, which was watched by nearly 400 invited in-person guests and broadcast live on WPBF 25 News, the local ABC affiliate and debate production partner, as well as nine other ABC, NBC and CBS affiliate stations in Florida and simulcast on statewide public radio, on participating TV stations’ websites and/or Facebook pages, and on daily newspaper websites and/or Facebook pages. It also was rebroadcast on C-SPAN. The candidates, with 60 seconds to give their first response to questions from Channel 25’s evening news anchor Todd McDermott, touched on everything from abortion and border control to voting rights, inflation and gun control. Joining McDermott on stage to ask the candidates’ questions were Rick Christie, executive editor of the Palm Beach Post, and Vickie Chachere, editor of Florida Trend magazine.

“It was an honor for Palm Beach State College to host this debate on our campus and to give our students an opportunity to be a part of the senatorial election and experience democracy in action,’’ said PBSC President Ava L. Parker, J.D. “I am hoping that while we have some of our students voting for the first time, we made the kind of impression that will encourage them to continue to be informed voters and citizens.”

Parker thanked PBSC’s employees in all areas of the college for their commitment to making the event a success – from facilities and security teams to information technology and academic affairs.

“We were all in from the beginning and I couldn’t be prouder,” said Parker.

PBSC has hosted Congressional debates in the past and served as the site of campaign stops for U.S. presidential candidates, but this was its first time hosting a U.S. Senate debate. It elevated PBSC’s stature as a leading institution of higher education in Palm Beach County and came as the College approaches its 90th anniversary next year as Florida’s first public community college.

PBSC President Ava L. Parker welcomes the audience at the Decision 2022:Before You Vote U.S. Senate Debate.

Joseph Kleinhenz, president of the Student Government Association on the Palm Beach Gardens campus, attended October 28 - November 3, 2022

the debate in person. “I’m proud to be a participant in the College’s initiative to be included in larger events,” said the aspiring stockbroker who returned to school to complete the Associate in Arts degree that he started decades ago.

“The bigger universities get much of the attention and notoriety, but there is so much opportunity for other schools to attract some of these major events, and I think Palm Beach State College certainly is doing that by hosting this debate. It improves our credibility and increases our attractiveness.”

Associate political science professor Phillip Mancusi, who gave several expert media interviews about the debate and the importance of the election, agrees.

“This is probably the highest profile event that we’ve had here. When people see something like this associated with the College, it elevates our status and makes us look good.”

In addition to PBSC as host, the debate partners/sponsors were: The James Madison Institute, AARP Florida, Florida Trend, the LeRoy Collins Institute, the Florida Press Association, the Florida League of Cities, Florida Everglades Foundation and Florida Realtors.

While the debate was in the Duncan Theatre, the gym was setup as the media filing center and spin room.

“Palm Beach State College has rolled out the red carpet and done everything that we would have done with any of our other debate partners,’’ said Phil Alongi II, chief operating office of Alongi Media, noting that his company has produced more than 150 debates. He made those comments during a briefing where he, Parker and Jim Fogler, executive director of the Florida Press Association, helped welcome members of the media. He applauded all aspects of the College’s work as host, including its security and measures to ensure fairness and objectivity for both political sides. “Everything about facilities has been top notch, and we really appreciate it.”

The College was named the host of the debate in December 2021 after being approached by Ron Sachs, founder and CEO of Sachs Media, who handles communications for Before You Vote.

Parker said after listening to all the ideas, she agreed to proceed. “This has been a true partnership, and I’m happy for our role in making it happen.”

Summer Travel Safety Tips (StatePoint) While everyone looks forward to summer road trips, travel can come with unexpected safety emergencies.

David Nance, founder of SABRE Personal Safety Academy and CEO of SABRE, the number one personal safety brand of consumers and law enforcement worldwide, provides travel protection tips for different scenarios.

Driving The National Safety Council says traffic death rates are three times greater at night.

“If you can’t avoid night driving, have at least one passenger stay awake to talk to the driver,” says Nance.

You can also make car travel safer with the SABRE Safe Escape 3-In-1 Pepper Gel With Seat Belt Cutter and Window Breaker with Snap Clip. The built-in belt cutter helps free yourself in an emergency, while the steel window breaker could come in handy if vehicle doors are jammed or electric windows fail to operate. Another good choice for driving is the 2-in-1 Flashlight With Pepper Spray, SABRE PepperLight. Ideal for helping navigate auto issues such as changing a tire at night, its ultra-bright flashlight shines up to 540 feet, and its strobe flashlight setting can ward off and disorient potential threats. It also contains 25 bursts of pepper spray for protection against multiple threats.

Around Town

“Looking at your smartphone can distract you from noticing potential threats,” says Nance. “Stay engaged while exploring a new destination.”

At the same time, you can also use tech to your advantage to store emergency contacts and access safety apps. Using geo-tracking technology through the free SABRE Personal Safety App, SABRE’s SMART Pepper Spray connects with a smartphone and sends help alerts to assigned emergency contacts. They’ll be immediately notified of your location if the

SMART Pepper Spray is deployed or the in-app alert button is pressed. It can also alert first responders with a subscription.

For a smaller pepper spray option that is about the size of a lipstick and can be easily carried for on-the-go safety, try Mighty Discreet. Its twist top prevents accidental discharge and the snap clip provides immediate accessibility.

Going out for the night? Keep an eye on your beverage and don’t accept drinks from strangers. Be sure to watch out for your travel companions too. If they’ve had

more than their limit, don’t let them leave alone or with strangers.

At the Hotel Don’t take chances. Lock the doors at your hotel and secure important belongings in the safe. For extra protection, you can take home security on the road with the SABRE Door Stop Alarm, a portable, wireless alarm that doesn’t require installation and can be heard up to 1,000 feet away, alerting neighbors and helping frighten intruders. Its wedge shape blocks inward opening doors.

“Having personal safety products is part of the equation. Knowing how to use them safely is just as important,” says Nance. “You’ll want to create a clear safety plan. If you’ll be carrying pepper spray, consider practicing first. Practice water canisters are available and a good idea for firsttime users.”

Products from SABRE are available nationwide at Walmart, Target, Amazon, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Lowe’s, Menards, Academy, and Bass Pro Shops, among other national retailers. While it’s legal to carry these safety products in all 50 states, check local laws where you’ll be traveling.

For more information and safety tips, visit www.sabrered.com.

With smart safety strategies and tools, you can make summer travel just what it should be -- a time to explore, relax and have fun.

Simple Tips for Mindful Eating (StatePoint) Mindful eating doesn’t have to be restrictive and you don’t have to give up your favorite foods.

“Simply incorporating more foods that are crafted with integrity and align with your values into your day-to-day eating can go a long way toward helping you feel your best,” says Kara Lydon, a registered dietitian nutritionist. As an intuitive eating counselor, Lydon advises people to stop looking at food as “good” or “bad” and instead, listen to their bodies and eat what feels best in the moment.

With those principles in mind, here are a few simple choices you can make to nourish your body and enjoy your food.

Snack Smart Snacking can keep you satiated between meals and help you regulate your blood sugar and energy levels. It can also be an opportunity to take in essential vitamins and nutrients. Common processed snack foods are often loaded with sodium, added sugars and trans fats. Try these wholesome alternatives: Greek yogurt with raw honey, hummus with carrot and celery sticks, apple slices with peanut butter, edamame, egg and cheese bites, nuts or fruit salad.

Plus

Choose Grass-Fed Dairy In conversations about healthy eating, dairy products sometimes unfairly get a bad rap. But dairy actually has essential nutrients that can be incorporated into a well-rounded daily diet. Lydon says that it’s helpful to be intentional with your choices. The next time you visit the dairy aisle, take a closer look at the labels and search for the term “grass-fed.”

“Grass-fed cows produce dairy with significantly higher concentrations of beta-carotene and certain fatty acids, includ-

ing conjugated linoleic acids and a more optimal omega-3/omega-6 ratio,” says Lydon. “These nutrients play key roles in disease prevention, mood regulation, cognitive function and more.”

Grass-fed dairy not only tastes better and is healthier for you versus grain-fed dairy, it’s often more humanely produced.

Check out brands committed to farming practices that are good for people, animals and the planet, like Truly Grass Fed. The premium brand of Irish dairy products makes cheese and butter that is always

www.bocaratontribune.com

non-GMO, growth hormone rBST-free, and antibiotic free. Its cows live their best lives outside grazing on green grass maintained using regenerative farming practices. To learn more and find wholesome recipes, visit trulygrassfed.com.

Grow at Home If you have the space, consider starting a small garden in your yard or even indoors on your kitchen counter. Growing your own food is sustainable and can help you connect more deeply to what you feed your family. What’s more, being able to harvest produce at its peak means more nutritional value and flavor per bite. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the prospect of growing plants from seeds, start by buying a few pots of herbs, such as basil, chives and mint. These can be found at many grocery stores. They’re relatively easy to maintain, and can instantly add zest to salads, soups and other meals.

Better eating should never feel like a sacrifice or leave you feeling hungry. The good news is that wholesome, healthierfor-you choices that nourish the body and soul abound today.

Lynn University Theater Program Honors Dodson, McArt

By Dale King Sweeney Todd, 42nd Street and a wide range of musical programs are among the highlights of Lynn University’s 2022¬–23 performing arts season, a stellar roster that also honors the vision and generosity of two women associated with the university’s performance history: Jan McArt and Libby Dodson.

A longtime supporter of the “Live at Lynn” series, Libby loved the energy and magic that came with live performances, a passion that only grew after she befriended the legendary Ms. McArt, a Broadway and local actor/vocalist who became founding director of theater arts at Lynn. Dodson’s financial contributions to Lynn’s programs ultimately led McArt to christen the annual series, “Libby Dodson’s Live at Lynn.”

As the university’s theater program embarks on its new season, Lynn pays homage to Dodson’s generosity by giving her legacy a whole new reach.

Initially, Dodson’s support only brought professional performances to the Keith C. and Elaine Johnson Wold Performing Arts Center. Now, all performances—both student and professional— will be known as “Live at Lynn, presented by Libby Dodson.”

“I think Libby would be extremely pleased,” Community

said Dolores Kara, sister-in-law of Dodson, who passed away in 2009. “”Libby was a very giving person, and I know she wanted to help Jan McArt with her endeavor at Lynn. That’s how our whole family got involved. Actually, my husband, Michael, who was Libby’s brother, shared her love of theater as much as I did. We all enjoyed attending every production, so our family has always been happy to offer our support.”

Jan McArt, who passed away in January 2021, attracted many philanthropists to Lynn through her love of theater and her vivacious personality.

Her influence on Lynn’s performing arts programs can’t be underestimated, Kara explained.

“When Jan walked into a room, everyone lit up,” she added. “She was such an outgoing, beautiful and talented person, so it was easy to understand Libby’s friendship with her. Jan’s passion for theater was both palpable and infectious, and Libby believed wholeheartedly in what Jan wanted to accomplish at Lynn. These two women have left a lovely, indelible imprint on South Florida’s theater scene for many years to come.”

The museum is now open to the public with its premiere exhibit. Entitled “Ascot,” it features the historic original 1956 costumes from My Fair Lady, designed by Sir Cecil Beaton.

“Inspired by the Van Gogh exhibition, we embarked on a journey to marry an immersive video experience with our unmatched costume collection,” said Marilynn A. Wick, executive managing producer. “The mission of the Wick Costume Museum has always been to share our historic wardrobe in an entertaining and educational way.

With this dramatic new remodel, we are thrilled to welcome fans to enjoy our collection in a glorious new fashion.”

The opening exhibit pays homage to the beloved Cockney flower girl, from her debut in George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion through all the leading ladies who have portrayed her on film and stage up to 2018.

In addition, more than 50 costumes from the original Cecil Beaton 1956 Broadway wardrobe are on display, October 28 - November 3, 2022

including the historic dress worn by Julie Andrews.

To help open the new exhibit, a grand opening gala was held in September featured a concert by Christine Andreas, one of the actresses who appeared as Eliza Doolittle on Broadway.

“This venture is unlike anything we have ever done before,” said Kimberly Wick, museum curator.

“We are taking the traditional museum tour and elevating it to a multi-sensory journey that celebrates the best of Broadway, live performance and dining in one glorious experience.”

Local Students Compete In Coding Event to Design Their Own Video Game More than 30 Palm Beach County students put their coding skills to the test on Saturday, October 15th in this year’s canCode Hackathon hosted by the Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County and cosponsored by Philanthropy Tank. During the Hackathon, middle and high school students worked in teams to make the most complete themed video game. Winners received prizes. Rewards were also given to students who created the most creative game, the best themed game, the most technical game, and the game that judges enjoyed the best.

Philanthropy Tank awarded project, canCode puts on the annual event to not only let teenagers test their coding skills, but to find and recruit the best high school students to support their mission. The student-led group works with multiple agencies to expose and teach elementary school kids computer programming through engaging workshops, including the creation of games and widgets. The group believes an early introduction to computer science

www.bocaratontribune.com

gives students problem-solving skills and prepares them for the careers of the future.

“Participants were tasked with coding a unique and engaging Scratch video game that could be taught to younger students at our weekly workshops. We were extremely impressed with their creativity and video game quality,” says Eva Gottesfeld, canCode President. “I’m so glad we could host the Hackathon and spread awareness of canCode’s mission across Palm Beach County. Philanthropy Tank was incredibly helpful to us as we planned the Hackathon. We are very appreciative of all their support.”

Participating students represented schools from throughout Southern Palm Beach County, including West Boca High School, Henderson University School, the Boca Housing Authority, American Heritage School, Atlantic Community High School, Park Polo Middle School, Suncoast Community High School, and BAK Middle School of the Arts.

Boynton Beach Fire Rescue Captain Polyglass USA Supports the Relief Takes Next Step to Returning Effort in Ukraine through Global Back to Active Duty Empowerment Mission

On July 7, 2020, Captain Jeff Power, a nineteen-year veteran with the Boynton Beach Fire Rescue Department, was involved in a serious car accident that left him critically injured. Over t wo y e a r s later, in the final phase of the long road to recovery, Capt.

Power was accepted into the Hangar Clinic near Seattle, Washington, for an exclusive program that fit Capt. Power for a custommade carbon fiber brace that will help him take the next step to returning back to active duty at BBFRD. This week, the Boynton Beach Firefighters Benevolent Association will hold “The Climb” event, a competition designed to help Capt. Power obtain this state-ofthe-art brace and return back to servicing the Boynton Beach community while doing the job he loves.

This three-day event will take place at Fire Station #5 (2080 High Ridge Rd.) following the schedule below: October 28 - November 3, 2022

Thursday, October 27 (8 am – 5 pm) Friday, October 28 (2 pm – 6 pm) Saturday, October 29 (8 am – 2 pm) Firefighters from various Fire Departments will compete by climbing the training tower at Fire Station #5. Any active or newly retired Firefighters are invited to participate in “The Climb” and must provide their own bunker gear. Civilians will also have the opportunity to compete on Saturday, October 29 by participating in a simulated Candidate Physical Ability Test (CPAT), a test that individuals training to become Firefighters are required to take. An award ceremony will take place following the last climb on Saturday, October 29 at approximately 2 pm.

Food and beverages will be provided to competitors. In addition, yard games and vendors will be on-site and children will have the opportunity to interact with a Boynton Beach fire engine. Parking is limited.

Polyglass U.S.A., Inc., a leading manufacturer of roofing and below-grade waterproofing systems, is committed to giving back to local and international communities and is proud to partner with and support global organizations providing emergency aid in times of crisis.

Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, the Polyglass family, CEO, and Executive Leadership Team felt the need to support the war relief effort and chose to partner with Global Empowerment Mission (GEM), a U.S.-based non-profit organization founded in 2011 as a first responder to global disasters.

Over the past six months, GEM and local NPO partners have delivered much-needed emergency aid inside Ukraine, including the regular distribution of food/care packages and financial assistance for short-term incidentals and temporary housing to Ukrainian refugees, fighters, and their families in over 108 areas.

With the help of donor partners, GEM has repaired and reopened six schools. In addition, GEM has helped extract and relocate refugees, providing accommodation to women and children crossing the border from Ukraine into Poland.

GEM’s founder, Michael Capponi, currently lives in Kyiv and oversees operations.

“We try to solve complex problems with

www.bocaratontribune.com

innovative solutions,” he shared in a video on the repair and reopening of a kindergarten in Bucha in Kyiv Oblast. “We have to bring continuous resources,” he commented, emphasizing the urgent aid still needed to ensure Ukrainians in war-torn regions are not forced back into refugee status from a lack of safe housing.

A Giving Back donation page on the Polyglass website enabled Polyglass employees, families, and friends to raise $10,000 towards GEM’s relief work within four months. Polyglass U.S.A. matched this donation, and on September 8, 2022, Polyglass team members traveled to the GEM headquarters in Miami to present the $20,000 to GEM leaders and tour the NPO’s warehouse facility.

Article 1 Beyond Varicose Veins: 2

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.

V

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 Community

“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

SPORTS FAU Readies to Host UAB

Florida Atlantic University football (3-5, 2-2 C-USA) will return home to host UAB this Saturday, Oct. 29 at FAU Stadium. The game is scheduled to kickoff at 7 p.m. and will air on CBSSN. Fans are encouraged to wear black to match the team or come in the Halloween Spirit.

Those following the Owls can expect the game to be a showcase of talented running backs which are used to set up the passing game. The Owls’ run game is primarily shared between three backs, including Larry McCammon, who is ranked No. 22 nationally with 690 yards, Zuberi Mobley who adds 412 yards and Johnny Ford’s 101 yards. Their combined 1,203 yards and seven scores trail the three UAB primary three rushers by 324 yards. The Blazers’ DeWayne McBride will enter the game with 975 yards, an average of 7.0 yards per carry, and the back has 11 scores on the year. He ranks No. 1 nationally with 162.7 rushing yards per game, while UAB leads C-USA with an average of 242.3 yards per game.

The Owls hold a 5-3 all-time record versus the Blazers, who enter the contest with a 4-3 overall record and a 2-2 C-USA mark, including a 31-14 loss a year ago in Birmingham, Alabama and a 49-6 win in the 2019 Conference USA Championship game, also played at FAU Stadium.

The game is scheduled to air on CBS Sports Network and on Fox Sports South Florida 640 AM. Ken LaVicka and Kris Bartels will provide the radio coverage.

Offensive Coordinator and Quarterback Coach Brent Dearmon On returning for a home game “Right now, we have to figure out a way in a couple of weeks to get a win on the road, but we’ve been pretty good at home. These guys get fired up to play in front of their home crowd. The student section has been amazing all year long, so it’s really exciting to come back home.”

On overcoming offensive woes “It’s frustrating, and it all falls on me. We have to find a way to continue to create explosive plays. I think we had less explosive plays [against UTEP] than any other game we have had all year. There are some opportunities there, but us as coaches, we have to deOctober 28 - November 3, 2022

mand more, we have to put those guys in better situations, we have to get them ready for those situations. We took it on us as coaches that we have to be better for our players.”

On taking advantage of opportunities against UAB “Between Rice and UTEP, they played the same style of football that UAB is going to come in here and play. They’re a ball control team that runs the ball. They’re going to limit chances that we get to put points on the board, and we have to make the most of those possessions. You look back at UTEP, we had nine possessions and got two touchdowns. We have to make more out of our limited possessions that we do get.”

On getting better in the red zone “Right now, we have six red zone turnovers. We turn the ball over in bad situations…We just have to take care of the ball.

I don’t think it’s so much schematics, we just can’t fumble the football or have turnovers inside the red zone. It’s just better decision-making, us overstressing ball security, us teaching ball security, and there has to be some demand out of our coaching staff to make sure the players that we’re putting the ball in the hands in take pride in taking care of the football.”

On avoiding turnovers against UAB “There’s a lot of times on tape where you see multiple guys coming to the ball trying to strip it and the second defender is going to try come punch it out. We showed clips like that to our team today. They really teach takeaways, and we have to make smart decisions at the QB position. We have to do a really good job of putting our five points of pressure on the ball as ball carriers. That’s something we have to take care of this week for sure.”

On getting Redshirt Freshman WR Jahmal Edrine involved “He’s going to get some matchups, one on ones on the outside, and when we do get those moments, we have to take advantage of moments like that, because they do sell out and get everybody in the run and we have to be able to have somebody that can get those safeties back out of there a little bit more. It wouldn’t shock me if he has another big game.”

The Palm Beach Atlantic volleyball team traveled south to face Nova Southeastern on Tuesday night.

The Sailfish looked to complete the season sweep against the Sharks after beating them earlier this year. PBA (1211, 6-7 SSC) got off to a good start, winning the first set, 25-22.
