Held under a ringside tent at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center in Wellington, the benefit offered the opportunity for families to come together for a day of activities for all ages – a key way to prevent future substance abuse, according to Picnic Chairman Val Perez. “When statistics say one in four Americans will have an alcohol or drug problem at some point, nearly everyone we know is touched by substance abuse in some way,” shared Perez. “Hanley Center Foundation does an incredible job of educating our community and raising awareness about the effects of addiction. Additionally, events like the family picnic offer a great opportunity to gather families – a key component of prevention – to get people talking. The more people are talking, the better chance we have at breaking down the stigma that still comes with the disease of addiction.” The day’s lineup of events included VIP seats for world-class equestrian show jumping, animal encounters, face painting, a photo booth with fun props, a magician, a kids-only silent auction and a family-focused luncheon – marking the Hanley Center Foundation’s 20th year of raising funds for substance abuse prevention efforts in local schools. In addition to the silent auctions, Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, honorary chairman, auctioned off “Sheriff for a Day” experiences to three lucky families, raising funds that totaled more than $10,000. “For 20 years, this event has met a critical need in our community by raising funds for our prevention and education department,” said Hanley Center Foundation CEO Dr. Rachel Docekal. “Our prevention staff provides age-appropriate substance abuse programs to elementary, middle and high school students in public and private schools using a model that reinforces self-confidence, positive messaging and positive peer pressure. We hope the families who attended the picnic saw it as an opportunity to reinforce that family time is time well spent, all while benefiting a really important cause. We thank our chairs, committee and sponsors for their leadership in making this year’s milestone such a success.” Led by Chairmen Val Perez and Denise Groo; Cochairmen Michelle and Bob Diffenderfer, and Dena and Bill Foman; Honorary Chairmen Dorothy and Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, and Honorary Media Chairmen Roxanne Stein and Bill Adams. This year’s committee included the following members: Teri Barbera, Jack Barrett, Krista Basore, CJ and Turner Benoit, Amy and Ryan Bridger, Sally D.

Rachel McKee, vice president of Revolution Dating, and I were on our way to meet a very handsome and successful V.I.P. client for lunch at Brio. We will call him William Cobb. William is 58 years old and widowed. We enjoy getting to know our clients in and out of the office. “The Revolution is the solution,” as one male client said this week. With new members pouring in monthly, there is never a dull moment. As the lunch started, William began telling us how much fun he had at our last party. He said he enjoys seeing the old and new faces at our events. As hosts, we have to agree. There was a woman there who he had dated once. She liked him and wanted the relationship to take off. He didn’t feel the same way. This woman (we will call her Joan Avery) was beautiful, but we were just getting to know her as a newer client. Talking to William would help us help her and him. I love win-wins. We chatted about what he LOVEs in women. Of course, like all men, he is visual. He mentioned he likes a woman who is well dressed, and he also highlighted that her demeanor should be soft, easy and kind. (Good advice for Power Women.) About half way through the lunch, we still wanted specifics on Joan. There had to be more to the story. Kelly: William, what didn’t you like about Joan? William: She has too much money for me. (He said with a grin and we laughed out loud too...he has a good sense of humor.) Kelly: No really, you seem Last year’s Love-Fest 2014 is still being called: “The Singles Party of the Year!” to be such a good fit. Why didn’t the first date lead to the second date? needed some sisterly advice. In closing, you never get a William: She is too “uppity.” She looks down on others second chance to make a first impression. Ladies, show up and thinks she is above everyone. I don’t like it. with your best outlook and image on your first date! We will Kelly: Well surely, she could have just been nervous. help you if you need it. You can always look hot no matter Maybe she needs a second date to see if it was just first date what your size or your body type. So get your positivity on jitters? and come see me when you are ready for romance! Just as William: Well, there was more. She looked like she was the day turns to night, we can help you find your match thru going to the gym and put little effort in her look. She spoke of our contacts and friendship. her ailments! She was very serious and a little somber even. I look forward to seeing you “out of your comfort zone” She also talked about her former husband and that made me uncomfortable. Kelly, she was gorgeous, but she is NOT for me. Looks don’t mean much when a woman is not good company. At that point, I felt I did my due diligence for Joan and I knew I could give her constructive feedback for her next match at our club.

That’s a question I very often hear from patients acquiring new hearing aids. My response is first you must be fitted with properly prescribed instruments after you receive a very complete and comprehensive audiological evaluation, not a “quick screening,” which generally leaves a lot to be desired in necessary information. Then you are entitled to a complete consultation to explain what was found in the evaluation and then a careful selection and recommendation of the type and kind of instrument that will give you the very best possible result over the long term, based on your capability. Finally a cost that is affordable to you, the patient. Frankly, in my close to 25 years practicing in northern Palm Beach County, I have chosen intentionally to remain completely independent which is something difficult to find today. I have done this so I could have available for my patients exactly what would be best to help them with their hearing concerns and not because I am a part of a major laboratory or committed to the products produced by any laboratory. It is important to understand that before you can obtain the maximum benefits from your new hearing instruments your brain must relearn some or all of the sounds your ears haven’t heard or been able to pick up because of your hearing loss. Our brain is designed to be moldable like plastic or rubber. For example, if someone has a stroke, another part of our brain can possibly take over some or most of the tasks of the damaged part of the body. When we lose some of our hearing, that part of the brain, which has lost the input from our ears in certain frequencies, gets rewired to do other things and is no longer programmed to recognize those sounds. They are “gone” even when we first use our new hearing aids. If the hearing loss hasn’t progressed too far before a patient has obtained hearing help the brain will relearn some or even all of the sounds it now receives with help from quality hearing instruments. However, don’t expect it all to happen immediately. Recent studies show that our brain generally will take five to six weeks to begin effectively processing the information and then the reprogramming begins. Little by little we begin to recognize more of the sounds that we have been missing and we then begin to understand more of what people are saying. So, how long before the reprogramming kicks in? Truthfully, it depends on the individual patient but most people begin to realize a meaningful improvement within 90 days, providing they have properly prescribed good quality hearing instruments. OK, so what’s the key word that each patient must understand in their hearing rehabilitation? Patience! Hearing Solutions of the Palm Beaches, Colonial Plaza, 651 W.

By Corinne Lemal Danielson, MPH, CHES, Executive Director Integrative cancer care enhances quality of life for cancer patients and their families by integrating proven therapies into the usual course of medical treatment and empowers patients to be active participants in their treatment plans. Integrative cancer care can help patients feel better by reducing the pain, stress and anxiety caused by cancer and its treatment. What type of therapies does the Sari Center offer? Our therapies include: acupuncture, healing touch, hypnotherapy, individual and family counseling, therapeutic massage, nutritional consultations, lymphedema treatment, reflexology, caregiver services and healthy lifestyle classes such as yoga, mindfulness and guided meditation. For what symptoms or side effects are these therapies effective? These therapies have proven effective for pain management, anxiety, nausea, fatigue, neuropathy, depression and sleep issues just to name a few. Also the use of these therapies before and during treatment can help patients complete their medical treatment regimen as their doctor has prescribed. If I needed these therapies why wouldn’t my doctor have suggested it? Integrative Cancer Care is not widely available in many areas of the country. World-renowned cancer centers such as MD Anderson Cancer Center, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and Dana Farber Cancer Institute provide integrative care for their patients. The Sari Center was modeled after their programs and has been providing these services to cancer patients and their families in our local community since 2008. I am having surgery, chemotherapy and radiation to treat my cancer…how can the Sari Center help me? We have services designed to prepare patients for surgery and recovery; to help maintain physical strength and well-being, mental calmness and positivity throughout treatment; and post treatment programs with a focus on increasing energy and vitality and restoring quality of life. We provide the support necessary to develop comprehensive lifestyle changes that promote physical, mental and emotional wellness. For more information please call (561) 578-5900 or visit the Web site saricenter.org. The Sari Center accepts patients regardless of referring physician, type or stage of cancer or economic situation.

It is important to talk with your doctor before starting any exercise program. Take into account any medical problems and start slowly so you will be less likely to injure yourself. Remember to begin with low-intensity workouts and gradually work your way up. Wear comfortable clothes, the appropriate shoes for the activity, and be sure to drink plenty of water before, during and after exercising. There are three main types of exercises that you will need to incorporate into your training program. • Endurance activities, such as walking briskly, swimming, dancing, bicycling and playing tennis, help boost your heart rate and breathing for an extended period of time and improve the health of your heart and circulatory system. • Strength training, including using free weights, resistance bands or weight machines, helps improve muscle capacity and bone density. • Flexibility and balance exercises through programs like yoga or tai chi can keep your body limber and flexible and, as a result, prevent fall-related fractures. A well-rounded program will incorporate these different types of exercise because each kind has different benefits. Some form of aerobic activity is recommended for at least 30 minutes on most days of the week. Strength training should be done two days per week, but avoid exercising the same muscle group two days in a row. Don’t work out if you are sick. Give your body time to recover after an illness, but resume exercising as soon as you can. Choose sports that you are interested in and suit your lifestyle, budget and medical background. If you have knee problems, you probably would want to avoid jogging but may want to consider walking or water aerobics. If you are not interested in being inside the gym, perhaps golf would be a better choice. Golf helps strengthen hand-eye coordination, tones muscles in the arms, back and shoulders, improves flexibility and range of motion, and is a low-impact sport. Tennis is another option for seniors because it helps maintain aerobic fitness, reinforces gross motor control, increases agility and enhances flexibility. You will get the maximum benefit from an exercise program if you work out on a regular basis. Make participating in sports a priority, easy, safe, interesting and fun. As you become more active, you will notice that you have more energy, it is easier to do your daily activities, and chasing after your grandchildren doesn’t get you out of breath as quickly. Living with daily bone and joint pain can be unbearable for many people. Your ability to move, work and be physically active is related to the health of your bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves.

Most important is trimming and pruning properly. Some plants are trimmed when dormant and some as it’s flowering. Certain ornamentals need to be cut back on an angle vs. a strait cut. Some plants and trees require sealing where cuts are made. Ornamentals should be examined regularly for pruning. If pruning is ignored, most specimens become overgrown and often weak. At that point drastic pruning is necessary to bring the plant back to usefulness. Reasons to prune or trim plants: • Maintain or reduce plant size – Pruning prevents a plant from overgrowing its space and eliminates the need for drastic cutting of crowded, overgrown plants. • Remove undesirable g ro w t h – P r u n i n g c a n e n c o u r a g e p l a n t v i g o r Before After through the removal of weak, overcrowded growth. Thinning improves the visual balance or symmetry of the plant. • Remove dead, diseased, or broken branches – Pruning will aid in maintaining the shape, vigor and health of the plant. • Stimulate flowering and fruiting – Removal of the current year’s old, faded flowers and fruit clusters will promote flower buds for the following season. • Rejuvenate and restore old plants – Proper pruning can restore a youthful, natural growth habit in certain overgrown shrubs. • Prevent damage to life and property – Pruning will minimize the hazard of limbs interfering with power lines or overgrowing structures. It also removes weak crotches before It is recommended to trim hedges on a regular basis to promote healthy growth. limbs break in strong winds and open blocked sight lines caused by overhanging limbs at driveways or street corners. • Shape plants in an artificial form – Pruning and shearing can be used to shape plants as hedges or for rigidly formal espaliers or topiaries. A tree may need pruning for a variety of reasons: • to remove diseased or storm-damaged branches • to thin the crown to permit new growth and better air circulation • to reduce the height of a tree • to remove obstructing lower branches • to shape a tree for design purposes Once the decision has been made to prune, your next decision is whether or not to tackle the job yourself. In the case of a large tree where you want to remove big branches in the upper area of the crown, it may be best to hire experts. Large tree pruning, in particular, can require climbing and heavy saws or even cherry pickers and chain saws. This is a job that should be left to trained and experienced professionals. Never compromise personal safety in pruning a tree. This is a great time of the year to trim and prune. It is pre-hurricane, pre-rainy season and before the heat of the summer growing season gets into full swing.

By Don Kiselewski, MCC, D.S. Palm Beach Gardens Travel Leaders Running southeast from Florida, in a gentle arc to South America, is a group of islands that enclose over a million square miles of the Atlantic Ocean. The Caribbean Sea is separated from the ocean by this chain of islands that have a long and varied history. Recorded history in the area started with our friend Christopher Columbus, who was credited with discovering the islands; however, he thought that they were the Indies. He still believed that until his dying day. It was only after his death that is was discovered that Columbus didn’t discover the Spice Island or Indies after all. Spain quickly named the islands the “West Indies,” which automatically attached “East” to the name of the chain of islands in Southeast Asia. Comprising some 30 countries, the population of the West Indies is estimated at 33 million people ... scattered over some 2,000 square miles of islands. The area is one of the world’s greatest vacation playgrounds. Since the Second World War, the West Indies name is used less frequently, being replaced by “Caribbean” for identification. This renaming of the West Indies captured four mainland countries, which are considered part of the Caribbean ... Belize (formerly British Honduras), and the three Guianas of South America. British Guiana later became Guyana, Dutch Guiana changed to Suriname, while French Guiana’s name remains unchanged. The sea, enclosed by the West Indies (Caribbean), has its greatest depth between Cuba and Jamaica, where it is 25,216 feet deep. Five basins divide the sea, which are separated from each other by ridges or sills in the ocean floor. These are named from their general location ... Yucatan, Bronze statue displays the emblem Cayman, Colombia, of Spain, marks the entrance to Fort Ve n e z u e l a a n d Fernando. Grenada. Cold water from the Atlantic passes into the sea across two sills. The Windward Passage is one sill. It lies between Cuba and the island of Hispaniola, while the other, Anegada Passage runs between the Lesser Antilles and the Virgin Islands. It is thought that at a point in time around 500 million years ago, that the Caribbean was connected to the Mediterranean. About the time Columbus sailed into the “West” Indies there were somewhere between 250,000 and a million native people living on the islands. The most prominent of these were the Arawak (Taino) and the Ciboney, they inhabited the northern larger islands of the Greater Antilles, the Bahamas and the Leeward Islands. These natives were much easier for the Europeans to enslave than the Caribs who dominated the Windward chain of islands. All feared the Carib ferocity and tribal practices ... cannibal was derived from the Spanish word, Caribal. The last of these flesh-eating natives were finally annihilated by the Europeans in the 18th century. As with most western expansions, Europe had the major influence in settling the West Indies. The Spanish, Colorful buildings line the inlet to the harbor in Curacao. Tug pushes the floating bridge across the inlet in Curacao. Fort Fincastle in Nassau, Bahamas French, British and Dutch played the major roles, not only in the migration from their native lands, but also in the depopulation of the islands’ native inhabitants. Each country encouraged pioneer settlements and trade between island nations. As a result, a new commercial interest grew in the Caribbean ... piracy. Portuguese Jews from Brazil expanded into Barbados in the mid-17th century. Their goal was the development of sugar, which became the “Brown Gold.” However, growing the crop required an enormous work force. Slaves started being transported from Africa at this time. It has been estimated that 10 million slaves were transported to Barbados, giving the island a population density greater than India. Cuba on the north end of the chain is the largest of the West Indies islands. It has an area of 44,000 square miles ...

Most island territories range in size from 100 square miles up. However, over 70 percent of the islands are tiny. Grenada at 133 square miles matches the District of Columbia in area. Geologically, the lands of the Caribbean fall into three distinct landscapes. The Bahamas, Cuba, Belize and the Yucatan peninsula, along with the Windward Islands, Barbados and Antigua, consist of low-lying limestone plateaus like our terrain here on the Florida Peninsula. Extreme mountainous reliefs of the Greater Antilles Mountains form another distinct landscape. Included with this type of terrain are Hispaniola, Jamaica and Puerto Rico. It is the younger set of volcanic mountainous islands that identifies the last of the trio of landscapes. From Saba to Grenada, through the Windward and Leeward islands the area vibrates with earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. In 1902, Mount Pelee destroyed St. Pierre on the island of Martinique, leaving only one survivor ... a jailed prisoner celled far below the ground where the noxious gasses of the eruption could not reach him. Crime does pay! More recent eruptions on Montserrat attest to the volatility of these areas. Still, the boiling lakes, mud geysers and sulfur springs are promoted as tourist attractions vs. reminders of the impending dangers. Politically, the West Indies is broken surprisingly into unusual geographical boundaries.

Fichter completed his 2014 season with 13 top-10 finishes, scoring fifth place overall, in the Pirelli World Challenge.

A proud Christian athlete, this year he’ll graduate from Jupiter, Florida’s, Jupiter Christian School. “As an owner, I take responsibility for the details, big and small, that go into competing and winning.” Describing his take on such a huge task, Fichter states, “Holding myself accountable is key. I want to be more than just a driver. I want to know how the car works and how I can make it and myself better. ” In 2015, Fichter continues his education as a full-time student and on-campus resident of Palm Beach Atlantic University a fully accredited Christ centered university in West Palm Beach.

The Eastern Caribbean typically includes ports such as Nassau, San Juan, St. Thomas, St. Croix, St. Maartin or similar islands near San Juan. Western Caribbean itineraries typically circle Cuba, stopping in Mexico, Jamaica, Grand Cayman and the Bahamas, while voyages to the Southern Caribbean may include ports such as: Aruba, Curacao, Grenada, Martinique, St. Lucia and San Juan. The cruise lines are opening up more and more ports in the Caribbean to make their voyages more meaningful and give cruisers more exciting places to visit. I envision that in the not too distant future, ports in Cuba will be open to U.S. tourists. We are fortunate to have such easy access to the exciting destinations in the Caribbean. If you haven’t experienced the hospitality and culture of our neighbors in the Caribbean, may I encourage you to do so. I can assure you that time spent will be a memorable experience.

All proceeds from rides on the carousel went to benefit the Grace Notes Music Foundation. Music students from local music schools performed at Centre Court. Student ensembles participated including C.A.S.T., Duncan Middle School Jazz Band, Light House Suzuki Strings and the Brad Schechter Studio. An especially exciting portion of our program featured emerging young artists including Broadway performer, Skye Alyssa Friedman and America’s Got Talent finalist, Lily Forte. Featured professional groups included the Fretmentor Bluegrass Group and the Phat Cats. Another highlight was the “street musicians” lining the boulevard. Restaurants, shops and local businesses donated items for the silent auction. Local businesses and organizations joined the fun for the new Marketplace Bazaar. The Grace Notes Music Foundation was honored to receive a check from the Makayla Joy Sitton Foundation. The need-based Makayla Joy Sitton Music Scholarships are overseen by the Grace Notes Music Foundation. Grace Notes Music Foundation Inc. is a registered 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization administering the Makayla Joy Sitton Music Scholarships and providing 12 students with music lessons. This event will help us to increase that number in the coming year; the scholarships are the cornerstone on which the foundation is built. In the past year, the community outreach programming of the foundation has also blossomed to reach even more children and teens. • The foundation added the “Summer Scholar” Program to provide summer band/music camp scholarships. • The “Concerts for Classrooms” Program brings live, interactive music into local schools and aftercare programs. • The “Teen Team” donates countless hours of volunteer work and created a ukulele ensemble known as the “Uke Group.” As it grows, the Grace Notes Music Foundation’s mission is to provide exceptional music education and performance opportunities for students from diverse cultural, ethnic, racial and economic backgrounds and to sponsor community enriching music events.

If you want to hit it longer, learn to hit the ball with a draw using a right to left spin for a right-handed player. So, how is that achieved? The face of the club must be slightly closed to the path of the swing at impact. In fact, that is done through multiple choices, which can achieve the wonderful draw shot. My suggestions, at least in the set-up, are: • Strengthen the lead handgrip, heel pad on top, with three knuckles visible to you as you look down. • Play the ball further back in your stance, and push your Second Annual “ForAProbableKoz” Golf Tournament Rob Koziura passed away, unexpectedly, on Jan. 19, 2013, from pulmonary embolism due to blood clots in his lungs and heart. He was only 31 years old. Rob passed away at St. Mary’s Medical Center in San Francisco, Calif., where he also lived. Rob’s family has formed a nonprofit foundation called ForAProbableKoz, and all funds collected will go to benefit blood clot awareness charities. The foundation was formed to honor Rob and his life. We would like you to join us on May 1 at the second annual golf tournament in Rob’s honor in Palm Beach Gardens. We will have raffles, a hole in one contest, longest drive, closest to the pin and a 50/50 raffle. We have held concerts and completed triathlons in Rob’s name and will have gallery shows in San Francisco, New York and Atlanta in the future. Please join us to celebrate Rob’s life and accomplishments. You can find the golf tournament registration form and access to hotel rooms that can be reserved at a special rate on our Web site: FORAPROBABLEKOZ.ORG. If you are unable to attend but would like to make a donation you may do so using the tournament registration form. Registration can be mailed to: ForAProbableKoz, Inc., P.O. Box 33531, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33420. hands more ahead of the ball than you are used to. • Finally, you may want to pull your trail foot and trail shoulder back from the line of play. All of this is done at setup before you even move the club, so it should be within your reach! Should you need just a little more help – on your downswing, try to swing the toe of the club to close slightly over the ball. Good luck.

By Elaine Del Bene, owner, Jupiter Vitamins I’m sure you’re as confused as can be about whether vitamin supplements are good for you or cause harm, since that’s what’s in the current news cycle these days. My opinion, based on years of personal supplementation and observance of my customer base, is admittedly, somewhat biased. On one hand low-priced supplements are not useful and sometimes harmful, and on the other, high quality supplementation can really improve the quality of your life. I have many customers who will gladly testify to that. Not every body has the same requirements as every other. Your individual background, diet, age, activity levels and goals will determine your particular needs. The best diet can still have gaps in nutrient levels. A good quality, food-based multivitamin is a good place to start. Your particular system may need one to balance and provide enough energy to get you through your day, while others may need additional vitamin D because they get no outdoor exposure, or a particular form of “B” vitamins not usually available in the big box stores. A bit of conversation will help clarify your needs, and, of course, the best indicator would be how you feel! The low cost items available in the grocery or big box stores, will not provide the effect you’re looking for. In fact some of those “energy” formulations can cause real problems. We’re almost all mineral deficient, but the wrong forms of those minerals will not help, and may only serve to “harden” your arteries, instead of helping to build bones or helping you sleep. Come by, let’s talk about what you’re currently taking and decide what you really need out of that mix! 3755 Military Trail #B8, Winn Dixie Plaza, Jupiter, FL 33458.

On Saturday, Feb. 28, more than 250 friends and families of The King’s Academy came together for the school’s major fundraising event of the year. The Mane Event, which raised more than $376,000, was led by Co-chairs Michelle Collier, Lisa Gerardi and Dana Wilkerson, along with an amazing leadership team. The evening was a fun and lively culmination of months of dedicated planning and the results are a tangible blessing to the students and programs of The King’s Academy.

Guests showed their support by bidding on more than 400 unique silent and live auction items including family getaways, entertainment events, memorabilia and the wildly popular We Love TKA spirit experiences.

All proceeds from The Mane Event support The King’s Academy’s Annual Fund including need based financial assistance, co-curricular programming, faculty development, facilities improvement and technology.

The celebration continues on Wednesday, April 22 from 5 to 7 p.m. as we gather for a ribbon cutting and presentation by The Mandel JCC Chairman of the Board, Ray Golden and Chief Executive Officer Mindy Hanken.

Please Welcome Heavenly Foot Massage To Palm Beach Gardens At The Corner Of PGA Boulevard And Central Boulevard! Julie Poos is the proud owner of Heavenly Foot Massage and she and her business partner, Jim Geiger, are committed to making “Heavenly” a special place that you will want to come back to again and again and bring your friends. So far this has been the case with everyone that has come through their door! For your first foot massage, mention this article and you will receive a free sugar scrub on your first visit! They want it to be a Heavenly experience for you as well. Question: Why should someone consider having a foot massage if they have never had one before? Answer: In today’s society, we operate at such a fast pace. The majority of us are on our feet for most of the day and even for those of us that aren’t, we each are affected by the stress collector ... the stress collector is our body! Gone unchecked for too long, problems can occur. Each of us collects stress throughout our day and it gets stored up in our bodies. One of the easiest and effective ways to relieve and release stress from our bodies is to get a foot massage with reflexology. Reflexology is a process where the pressure points are massaged in our feet to relieve symptoms elsewhere in your body. If you have never had one, you are in for a surprise! New clients that come through Heavenly’s door for the first time, leave amazed wanting to bring back their friends and family. Many of them buy a gift certificate before they leave the spa for a family member (more times than not … they buy it for their spouse or significant other). That always makes Julie Poos smile. She knows she is not in the marriage retreat business but if it makes a marriage better and relieves their stress... she is totally for it she says! Julie Poos and Jim Geiger invite you to come visit Heavenly Foot Massage and find out why so many people are raving about it! They look forward to making you a raving fan as well. They cordially invite you to come experience a Heavenly Foot Massage for yourself. Hence their name! American owned and American managed. Page 22, Lifestyles in Palm Beach Gardens BallenIsles Charities Foundation Awards Local Charities A Record $290,000 In Financial Grants By Mark Hopkinson Thirty area organizations with extraordinary local community programs were awarded financial grants totaling a record $290,000 by the BallenIsles Charities Foundation (BICF) during a heart-warming charity reception earlier this month at BallenIsles Country Club. The “Helping to Make a Difference” financial grants bring the foundation’s total charitable contributions made since its formation in 2011 by residents and members of BallenIsles Country Club to $865,000. “We could not achieve the progress we have been making, without the kind generosity of BallenIsles residents and the local businesses which support our mission to help the many worthwhile organizations in Palm Beach County that accomplish great things on very limited resources,” said BallenIsles Charities Foundation President Fred Corrado. The financial grants include support for the purchase by the Palm Beach Gardens Fire Rescue Department of its first-ever, live fire simulator which creates a visual image of a burning fire while eliminating costly and dangerous live fire training. Palm Beach Gardens Fire Department Division Chief of Training Shon Broedell demonstrated how the live fire simulator can create a visual image of a burning fire while eliminating costly and dangerous live fire training. The state-of-the-art, waterproof digital live fire simulator creates self-generated LED flames and has five thermal sensors with realistic sound effects. The system also incorporates a smoky environment with the use of a smoke generator. In addition to training PBG Fire & Rescue personnel, the live fire simulator will be made available to neighboring fire rescue departments including North Palm Beach and Palm Beach County Fire Rescue. It will also be used by both the Palm Beach Gardens Boy Scouts of America Fire Explorer Post and PBG Reserve Firefighter Division, providing realistic fire training to these future firefighters, without putting them at risk. Palm Beach Gardens Fire Rescue Chief Michael Southard, Deputy Fire Chief Keith Bryer and Division Chief Shon Broedell accepted the foundation’s financial grant on behalf of the fire department. The BallenIsles Charities Foundation financial grants also support funding to Paws 4 Liberty for the adoption, veterinary care and training of a military service dog for veterans with disabilities. Paws 4 Liberty is one of few nonprofit organizations in Florida using animal-assisted therapy to help veterans achieve functional independence and a better quality of life. Many returning veterans are being diagnosed with PTSD, and the suicide rate among active duty personnel reached an all-time high in 2012. Corp. Joseph Rainey, a veteran of the Gulf War, Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) in Afghanistan, and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) in Iraq, also attended the reception on behalf of Paws 4 Liberty, with his military service dog Tank, a 4-year-old Golden Retriever. The BICF financial grants also support the purchase of CAMPBELL AND KARLIK, P.A. ATTORNEYS AT LAW Wills • Trusts • Estate Planning • Probate Taxation • Real Estate • Corporations Diane L.

At Adopt-A-Family of the Palm Beaches, the foundation’s grant will again provide school supplies, uniforms and personal hygiene kits that will make it possible for some 200 children in need to attend school. Clinics Can Help was again supported by a financial award from the foundation. The nonprofit collects and redistributes surplus medical equipment and supplies to over 1,200 financially insecure patients. The grant supports the purchase of 12 adaptive transit strollers, used in place of a wheelchair. Alzheimer’s Community Care received a grant from the foundation that funds one full month of family nurse consultant care and services. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County received funding for an after-school STEM program for one of two clubs in the program, while a comprehensive dental care program for 60 children will be made possible at Caridad Center. At Eisenhower School the foundation’s financial grant has funded a K5 iPad Cart to be used by the entire school as needed. Feed The Hungry will use the grant to provide 500 families in need with a box of food, which includes meats and fresh vegetables. Also supported by a foundation financial grant was First Tee of The Palm Beaches which will use it to provide nine after-school sessions for 200 students. Grandma’s Place will use its grant from the foundation to provide 650 hours of care and educational support for children in crisis. At Gratitude House, the financial grant will provide two months of care for mothers and infants in treatment together. The financial grants will also enable H.A.C.E.R. Ministry Corporation to provide food to feed some 330 families. At Habitat for Humanity of Palm Beach County, the financial grant will fund a program with Seminole Ridge Construction academy for home building for qualified recipients. Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition of PBC received a grant from the foundation for the purchase of four breast pumps and instructional kits for mothers in need. Homeless Coalition of Palm Beach County will use its foundation grant to purchase 25 beds to be used by families in need who have obtained permanent housing. The Palm Beach County Food Bank will use the foundation grant to provide food for 160 families who are in the weekend nutrition program. At Palm Beach Gardens City Hall, the foundation’s financial grant will provide funding for the BallenIsles Performance Series conducted annually. Palm Beach Gardens Elementary will purchase 1,500 books for students while Palm Beach Gardens High School will fund the annual college trip, so students in need have the ability to visit potential schools. The Palm Beach Gardens Police Department will use the foundation’s financial grant to purchase infant/child car safety seats to be given to those unable to afford them.
