The 57th Annual International
Red Cross Ball Brings Ambassadors,
Diplomats To Palm Beach
The International Red Cross continued its tradition of
bringing together ambassadors, dignitaries and philanthropic
leaders from around the world in support of its humanitarian
mission when 450 guests gathered at the 57th Annual
International Red Cross Ball, held Friday, Feb. 7 at The
Breakers.
The 2014 Ball, considered to be the highlight of the
Palm Beach social season, was chaired by Kathryn C.
Vecellio. Ambassadors attended from The Netherlands, Italy,
Hungary and Georgia, as well as many former United States
ambassadors.
Founded in 1957 by Marjorie Merriweather Post, the
white tie and tiara affair raised significant funds in support of
the vital mission of one of the nation’s premier humanitarian
organizations, the American Red Cross. For almost 100 years
locally, The American Red Cross Palm Beaches – Treasure
Coast Region has given hope and help to people in their
greatest hour of need – meeting the physical and emotional
needs of disaster victims, teaching lifesaving skills such

More than 120 guests enjoyed an exciting evening
hosted by Provident Jewelry raising $20,000 for Furry

in candlelight, magnificent floral centerpieces, Siamese
lanterns strung from the ceiling, splendid blush pink and
purple lighting and more.
Guests in sparkling gowns and tuxedoes were greeted at the
front entrance with a spectacular rousing drum performance
by Thaiko drummers, as well as performances, during dinner
that included a traditional ribbon dancer, a dancer who
trained professionally in Thailand and a glorious high-energy
showcase of “Shall We Dance,” featuring Babette Brown
and Dmitry Nikolaev, clad in the original costumes from the
Broadway revival of The King and I.
An unforgettable highlight of the evening transpired when
costumed local children from the theatre’s current production
of The King and I appeared for a “procession of gifts” and
presented gala honoree Roe Green with gifts of gratitude for
her phenomenal support of the theatre through the years.
A founding board member, Roe Green recently made the
lead donation of $1.5 million for the theatre’s newly renovated
club level lounge and seating area, The Green Room (named
in honor of her and The Roe Green Foundation). She sat at a
special grand table reserved for her and 24 of her guests.
The exquisite evening also featured performances from students
in the Maltz Jupiter Theatre Paul and Sandra Goldner Conservatory
of Performing Arts and a live auction, with proceeds that provided
scholarships for 33 local children to attend classes and camps the
Theatre’s Conservatory during the upcoming school year.
“Our biggest fundraiser of the year stayed true to the
theatre’s mission of entertaining, educating and inspiring our
community,” said Pamela Dyar, the theatre’s associate director
of development. “The gala’s success is a tribute to the quality
of performing arts education at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre.”
Following cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, guests dined on a
three-course meal, featuring a
duet entrée of filet mignon and
seared diver sea scallops with
haricots verts. For dessert,
they were served a milk
chocolate and red raspberry
dacquoise with custom-made
fortune cookies containing
messages of gratitude from
the theatre.
“It was wonderful to
see everyone enjoying an
unforgettable evening, and
we are incredibly grateful
for the tremendous support
from the community,” said
Tricia Trimble, the theatre’s
managing director. “As the Tamra Fitzgerald, Ruth Dry, Michelle Noga, Michele Jacobs of The Gardens Mall, gala
largest regional theatre in platinum sponsor
Florida, we could not continue
to thrive without those that contribute to the theatre’s success.”

Hot Off the Press!
Premier matchmaking
and events service launches
new hub in Palm Beach
Gardens
This month I am so
excited to announce the
launch of Revolution Dating,
an upscale dating and events
club which will be delivering more love and friendship to
single, divorced, and widowed adults in Florida. My longterm team and I have been working overtime planning parties
and benefits for all of you. “It’s not what you know, it’s who
you know”...and we know some amazing single men and
women!”
Our office location is the icing on the cake! Located near
Spoto’s Oyster Bar, Rocco’s Tacos, and Vic & Angelo’s
Restaurants, three great date spots. In the past, businesses like
ours have been located “high in the tower” hidden away from
the general public. Today, with online dating & matchmaking
becoming mainstream, placing our new office right in the mix
of the hottest restaurants in town is ideal. Many who have
been on the fence will now feel more comfortable calling
us. Revolution Dating has been called the “hottest gig in
town” by many singles touting that “this is going to be the
best way to meet other quality singles!”
After two decades of success in the industry, I feel driven
to raise the bar for our many friends and clients. I am excited
to introduce new types of events from “Oscar Night” to
“Ballroom Dance Events” to “Yoga Workshop” to “Tandem
Kayaking.” Our goal is to attract date-worthy professional
and retired singles. Between my 23 years in the business,
and my Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology, my talents

rival some of the best in the U.S.A.! I’m happy to bring it
all to YOU...making the gap from “single” to “taken” very
easy!
Since 1991, I’ve helped thousands aged 25-85 find
friendship and romance. Last year, I celebrated another
record year of successful matches, and I can’t wait to
increase the numbers in 2014! The majority of my clients
report a positive dating experience which means they are
now engaged, married or happily dating.
Our client base ranges from Vero Beach to Broward
County. Everyone is screened which includes background
checks. Once a client of Revolution Dating, perks abound.
Membership includes a professional photo shoot, profilewriting assistance, one-on-one date coaching, image
consulting, and/or even personal shopping to get you ready
for your first date. We also have an expert who will help get
your home “relationship ready” post-divorce or break-up.
There is even a “Millionaires Only Circle” available as an
option. For some, we will even plan the date for you by
request!
We are here to jump start your love life! Our parties are
private for our friends and members, unlike other singles
events where anyone can attend. As always, our events are
first come first serve! If you don’t like parties, no problem,
we can do one on one set-ups. The club is custom made to
the single clients needs.
To celebrate the Revolution of Love 2014, we are
offering new clients who join before April 20 an invite to
our Sexy Singles Launch Party at the end of April. This
will be the biggest singles event of the year--be sure to
RSVP to 561-630-XOXO today if you want to come play
with us.
Revolution Dating is light years ahead of the bar scene,
online dating, or any other club in town… as you will come
to know. My team is truly dedicated to love and building
relationships. This is not just about a “date,” this is a life
changing experience!
I hope to see you at the party this month! Much Love As
Always, Your Local Cupid, Kelly

Prepare For Health Care Costs During Retirement
By Sally Stahl
As you save and invest
for retirement, what are
your ultimate goals? Do you
plan on traveling the world?
Purchasing a vacation home?
Pursuing your hobbies?
People often think and plan
for these costs. Yet, too
often, many of us overlook
what potentially could be a
major expense during our
retirement years: health care. By preparing for these costs,
you can help yourself enjoy the retirement lifestyle you’ve
envisioned.
Many of us may ignore the impact of health care costs
because we just assume Medicare will pay for everything.
But that’s not the case. In estimating health care costs during
retirement, you may find that $4,000 to $6,000 per year per
person for traditional medical expenses is a good starting point,
although the amount varies by individual. Furthermore, this
figure does not include the costs of long-term care, which can
be considerable. To illustrate: The national average for home
health aide services is nearly $45,000 per year, and a private
room in a nursing home is nearly $84,000 per year, according
to a recent survey by Genworth, a financial security company.
So what can you do to help cope with these costs? Here
are a few suggestions:
• Estimate your costs. Try to estimate what your out-ofpocket health care costs might be, based on your health, your
age at retirement, whatever supplemental insurance you may
carry and other factors.
• Know the key dates. Things can change in your life,
but try to identify, as closely as possible, the age at which
you plan to retire. This will help you spot any coverage gaps
before you become eligible for Medicare at age 65. Also, be
aware of the seven-month window for enrolling in Medicare,
beginning three months before your 65th birthday.
• Review your insurance options. Medicare-approved
insurance companies offer some other parts to Medicare,
including Part D, which covers prescription drugs; Medigap,
which covers gaps in Parts A and B (in-hospital expenses,
doctor services, outpatient care and some preventive
services); and Part C (also known as Medicare Advantage,
which is designed to replace Parts A, B, Medigap and,
potentially, Part D). You have several options for Part D,
Medigap and Medicare Advantage, each with varying
coverage and costs, so choose the plans that best fit your
needs. (To learn more about Medicare and supplemental
insurance, go to www.medicare.gov.)
• Develop a long-term care strategy. To meet longterm care costs, you could self-insure or purchase insurance
coverage. To learn about long-term care insurance solutions,
contact your financial advisor.
• Invest for growth and rising income. Health care costs
typically rise as you move further into retirement, so make
sure that a reasonable portion of your assets is allocated to
investments with the potential for both growth and rising
income.
• Think about health care directives. If you were to
become incapacitated, you might be unable to make health
care decisions – and these decisions may affect not only your
quality of life but also your financial situation, and that of
your family. Talk to your legal advisor about establishing a
health care directive, which allows you to name someone to

Why Your Hearing Healthcare
Professional Really Matters
By Murray Steinfeld,
Audioprosthologist
Increasingly, hearing aids
are being attempted to be sold
online through catalogues and
directly to the consumer by
passing the hearing healthcare
professional. Even Hammacher
Schlemer, a known gift and
gadget retailer is attempting to
sell hearing aids as an over the
counter product by referring to them as “amplifiers.”
Some large insurance companies have attempted to
persuade their clients to spend their hard-earned money on
hearing products, not necessarily appropriate to their hearing
concerns. They are being told that there will be a significant
savings if purchased from the insurance company, but the real
motivation is not necessarily to the benefit of the patient but
in truth it is to the benefit of the insurance company. That is
called “Client Retention and Control.” What the client forgets
is that they are left without the face-to-face contact anytime
needed to tweak the aids or to have an immediate examination
if there are any questions as regarding their hearing or how
any new medications or illness may be affecting their current
hearing. The loss of immediate availability and ongoing care
by the locally available audioprosthologist, audiologist or
hearing specialist. What happens if there is need for a repair
that could be done quickly and easily be done in the office,
sometimes while you wait?
What happens when a patient is experiencing difficulty
for whatever the reason and there is no one locally available
to check you, the hearing aids, etc.? What if you have an
accumulation of earwax and it is causing problems with your
aid and your hearing ability? Will the insurance company
send an audioprosthologist, audiologist or hearing specialist
to your home with all the proper equipment necessary to
diagnose the problem and fix it? The insurance company is
looking out for the benefit of the insurance company. They
want to be sure the client and the client’s premium will be
there ongoing. Truthfully, the client and the client’s problems
and their frustrations are very secondary.
Here is some factual information for you to consider:
1) On March 28, 2012, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration
(FDA) issued a letter to (HI) Health Innovations, a United
Healthcare Insurance Company Division created to influence
clients and dispense hearing aids to their clients made by a
totally unknown facility. The FDA stated that the company’s
online hearing test was in violation of the Federal Food &
Drug & Cosmetic Act. In the same letter the FDA ordered
the company to take down the test. The letter was written
and signed by Steven D. Silverman, director of the Office
of Compliance, Center for Devices and Radiological Health
and was addressed to Health Innovations CEO Lisa Tseng,
M.D. Interestingly, the United Healthcare Division Health
Innovations was instructing the client to go to a hearing
healthcare person, pay them whatever they ask, be tested
and send the results to them and they’ll send you a pair of
hearing aids. The rest of the burden is now on your shoulders.
But, you’ll save some money. What a desperate way for an
insurance company to treat their business and their clients.
Now let’s take an honest look at what really matters with
your hearing healthcare. Here’s the problem. Although it is true
that the by-passing of a licensed and certified hearing healthcare
professional, if available, might be an immediate savings of some
dollars. But, are you willing or would it be wise to by-pass proper
examination, diagnosis, fitting, programming and counseling
which I’m sure you’ll agree is a recipe for poor treatment
outcomes and the increased risks to your hearing health.
There are many potential causes for hearing loss including
aging, blockages, ear infections, fistulas, head injuries,
medications, Meniere’s disease, noise damage, otosclerosis
and tumors. Many cannot be treated with a hearing aid and
may require immediate medical intervention. If you consider
purchasing your hearing device from other than your hearing
healthcare person you may become your own worst enemy.
What’s more hearing loss may also result from the improper
fitting or programming of hearing instruments.
It should also be known that most legitimate hearing aid
providers (makers) will not allow their hearing aids to be sold
or dispensed without a face-to-face consultation with a licensed
practitioner. They recognize the risks of buying and using
hearing aids without the proper counseling and fitting that
only a licensed hearing healthcare professional can provide.
Finally, a hearing aid is not a normal consumer product. It is
a medical device. It requires the proper battery of audiological
tests, it has to have the right hardware and software and needs
to have the correct fit physically for the patient. It must be
tuned and configured to the individual and be correctly and
physically fit to the impaired individual. Additionally it is to
the advantage of the patient to be re-tested annually and the
hearing aids they are wearing be updated and corrected to the
new audiogram. That is in the best interest of the patient and
should be done by their hearing healthcare practitioner.
In reality fitting hearing aids is an art that is guided by
science and delivered by the experience of a licensed and
board certified hearing healthcare professional.

Revocable Living Trusts Versus Wills
Part 1 Of 3
Submitted by Anné Desormier-Cartwright, Esq. Member of
Elder Counsel
If you are like most people, you probably believe the best
way to protect your heirs after your death is through a will.
However, a living revocable trust is a far superior method of
transferring property to your heirs. This is a contract wherein
a party (the settlor), during his lifetime, establishes rules for
the management and distribution of his property upon his
incapacitation or death. Any competent adult can establish
a living revocable trust, and any competent adult may serve
as trustee. The heirs to whom the property in the trust will
be distributed are known as the trust beneficiaries.
A living revocable trust is established in writing and a
trustee is appointed to manage and distribute the property in
accordance with the settlor’s detailed instructions. Usually
the settlor names himself as trustee of the trust property
during his lifetime, with a spouse, friend, relative or financial
institution named as a successor trustee upon his death or
incapacitation. This allows the settler to continue to manage
and control the trust property during his lifetime.
Establishing a living revocable trust has substantial
advantages over a will, for example:
• Avoiding Probate: The
biggest advantage of using
a living revocable trust is
that, unlike a will, it allows
an estate to avoid probate.
Probate is the process
whereby the court oversees
the transfer of your property
to your heirs (which will be
determined for you by state
law if you don’t designate
them in a will), and can
be extremely time-consuming and expensive. It can take
between six months and two years for an estate to clear
probate, and the fees on a $300,000 estate can be as high as
$18,000. A living revocable trust provides an inexpensive
way to transfer your assets to your heirs quickly and easily
without having to submit to probate.
To be continued next month.

Commissioner’s
Update
County Sells Mecca Property
By Commissioner
Hal R. Valeche
In 2004, the county
purchased the 1,900-acre
Mecca Farms property, a
former orange grove site for
$60 million. The purchase
was part of the plan to
lure the Scripps Research
Institute to Palm Beach
County, surrounded by a
cluster of related biotech
industries.
Due to a complicated permitting process and major
opposition from numerous environmental groups, a federal
judge’s ruling caused the county to stop construction on
this site. Jupiter was ultimately chosen as the new site for
the Scripps Research Institute and the Mecca property lay
dormant for several years. In addition to the $60 million
the county spent to purchase the site, an investment of
$40 million was spent on planning, permitting and initial
construction costs for the Mecca property. Initially, county
officials thought they could sell the property for development
but the South Florida building boom went bust and the county
was stuck with 1,900 acres of unused farmland with annual
costs of $4 million in debt service and $250,000 for upkeep.
Last October, the County Commissioners unanimously

Sherry
One Of The World’s Oldest
Wines Is A Treasure That
Is Underappreciated In
Many Circles
By Glenn Sudnick,
Certified Sommelier
Sherry has a protected
Spanish designation of origin
status. This fortified wine (a
fortified wine is produced
by having grape spirit added
during the production in
order to increase the alcoholic
strength, halt fermentation to
preserve the sugar content
and stabilize) comes from an
area of Spain known as the sherry triangle consisting of the
three towns of Jerez de la Fronters, Sanlúcar de Barrameda
and El Puerto de Santa Maria. There are three grape varieties
authorized for production: Palomino, Muscat of Alexandria
and Pedro Ximénez. The last two grapes are mainly used for
sweetening.
Sherry is aged by
the Solera system
which uses tiers
of wine casks that
are systematically
blended with the more
mature wine in the
casks below. Sherry
comes in different
styles.
Fino is a crisp, dry
and nutty delicate
sherry.
Manzaniila comes
from the coastal
town of Sanlúcar de
Barrameda and is
typically lighter than
Manzanilla olives
fino, often with a little salty finish.
Amontillado is amber in color with a distinctive nutty
flavor that is complex, with a long finish.
Palo Cortado is a rare variety of sherry that is much sought
after. The production of this rare breed has notes that are a
cross of a fino and the nutty richness of an amontillado. The
character of this fine wine make it quite expensive.
Oloroso sherry is dry and brown-colored. It is a rich nutty
style with aromas of raisins.
Cream sherry is sweetened with the addition of Muscat
or Pedro Ximénez
grapes and is more
commercially produced.
Sherry can be served
with an appetizer or
dessert.
Spain offers great
cheeses and salted hams.
My favorite cheese is
probably the famous
Manchego. This cheese
is incredible, made
from unpasteurized
sheep’s milk; it is aged
between three months
to two years. Normally
butterscotch in color it is
well developed, creamy Sherry glasses
Commissioner’s Update from page 11
approved the sale of the Mecca property to the South Florida
Water Management District for $26 million. While the
county lost money on the deal, the property did sell above
appraised value. The South Florida Water Management
District intends to use the property as a water storage area
and flow way to meet the Loxahatchee River Minimum
Flows and Levels. As part of the deal, the county retains
title to 22 acres on which a county water plan was built,
and the county will have the option of buying back 98
acres of right-of-way for Seminole-Pratt Whitney Road at
$14,000 per acre. The South Florida Water Management
Serrano ham
with nutty flavors.
To compliment this fine cheese I serve thinly sliced
Serrano ham, fresh rustic Spanish bread baked with sundried tomatoes and an assortment of Manzanilla olives all
marinated with oregano, thyme, garlic, orange, lemon and a
little rosemary. These are Mediterranean wonders!
Wouldn’t it be fun to offer your guest a sherry with all
the accompaniments when they arrive at your home?
Hasta pronto,
Glenn
District agreed to give 150 acres to the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission to build a shooting
range that will meet Olympic competition standards. The
plan includes a shooting range capable of attracting national
shooting events and will include trap and skeet shooting,
pistol and rifle ranges, along with a pro shop, clubhouse and
spectator seating. This property finally has a future with a
multitude of public purposes, benefiting the environment
and the citizens of Palm Beach County.
