PGA POA Jottings
By Dawn Levinstein
Fun Comes First
If you were able to get to
the Annual Children’s Party
in the Park in April, we hope
you had a wonderful time! I
personally missed it for the first
time in 15 years (sorry, I was
busy selling my jewelry at The
Delray Affair) but the Special
Events Committee got some
good pictures that are in this issue, so take and look to see if
they caught you or your family members in a moment of great
fun! The group of overgrown kids ... I mean adults ... in the pink
shirts are the ladies from the Special Events Committee and POA
President Bob Hodgson (right in the middle of things as usual).
It’s Still Your Money
Last month I told you the budget was being finalized. I am
happy to report that your Board has again held the assessment
at the same $700 it has been for the past several years. This
was not an easy accomplishment but they did it!
Remember to check your mail for a large flat envelope
containing the budget because it also contains one
assessment coupon. Your payment to PGA POA is due July
1. If you are interested in signing up for auto deduction
from your account, there is also a form to accomplish this
and, as always, if there is any reason why you cannot pay
the full assessment on time, be sure to call me at the POA
office to discuss other options before the account ends up
in collection where it only costs more to pay off.
The work on the main guardhouse is almost complete and
as long as we don’t have a hurricane, the improvements to
the common areas will continue.
Speaking Of Hurricanes
This is the last time I will use the “H” word until the end
of November. The official hurricane season started June 1 and
it is time for you to get prepared. You should have all your
evacuation procedures in place; friends and family members
should know your plans so they know where to find you after
the storm; you should have arrangements for your pets in case
you need to evacuate your home; important papers should be
duplicated and stored somewhere safe and water-tight; and,
of course, adequate amounts of nonperishable food, water,
medicines, batteries, etc. should be stored in your home if
you plan to wait out the storm.
The POA has a number of hurricane preparedness
brochures available at the office (in LA Fitness Plaza, Suite
29) as well as online (www.pga-poa.com). We also recently
obtained a number of credit-card-size fold open brochures
from the Palm Beach County Tax Collectors’ office. These
little brochures can literally be carried in your wallet and
contain important phone numbers; a list of items you should
have in your emergency kit; and list what you will need if
you go to a hurricane shelter. As with all the brochures in
the POA lobby, these credit card size brochures are free to
anyone who wants to pick one up at the POA office.
Generators
Many owners have installed permanently attached
generators that come on automatically during a power
outage. If you are like most people and don’t want to lose
your air conditioning and refrigerator during a power outage,
you might want to look into this option. Remember ARC
approval is needed before installing a generator (or making
any changes to the outside of your home).
Here Fishy, Fishy, Fishy
Now that those long lazy days of summer are here, many
people enjoy fishing along the banks of the beautiful waters
in PGA National. (I sure hope you aren’t eating those fish!)
Please be aware that a PGA fishing license is required and
fishing is only permitted in certain areas. It isn’t that the POA
won’t let you fish in your own community just because we

Commissioner’s Update
By Commissioner
Hal R. Valeche
Recently, the Board of
County Commissioners
instituted “Countdown to
Zero”, a campaign aimed
at eliminating the need to
euthanize dogs and cats by
the county’s Animal Care
and Control Division. The
campaign is a partnership
between Animal Care and
Control and the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League. Sadly,
due to the large number of abandoned animals and limited
space, ACC euthanized approximately 9,000 dogs and cats
last year, many of which were sick and unsafe for adoption.
The Countdown to Zero campaign is a 10-year plan
involving collaboration with rescue groups and residents
to curb the dog and cat population growth rate so that more
rescued animals are adopted. The idea is to greatly expand
spay and neuter efforts so that by 2024, the county shelter
will no longer euthanize healthy and otherwise adoptable
dogs and cats.
This past year, the county shelter received over 20,000
animals, which is down thirty percent from a decade ago.
Approximately, seventy-one percent of dogs that were
eligible for placement found homes and only twenty-one
percent of the cats were adopted. The euthanasia rate for
cats is much higher than dogs because they reproduce much
faster. In addition, the county has a large feral cat population
numbering approximately 200,000. Instead of rounding up all
of these free roaming cats and euthanizing them, the county is
working with local activists to have these feral cats trapped,
sterilized, vaccinated and released to areas where people are
willing to commit to feeding them.
Sterilization is the most humane way to reduce the number
of unwanted puppies and kittens born each day. One of the
top priorities for the Count Down to Zero campaign is to at
least double the number of dogs and cats sterilized each year.
The county shelter and the Animal Rescue League currently
spay and neuter about 17,000 dogs and cats each year.
Other initiatives under the campaign will include
expanding the current foster care program and offering more
animal training as a way to reduce the number of frustrated
pet owners turning unruly animals over to the shelter. The
program also includes an extensive public outreach campaign
to encourage people to adopt from the shelter instead of
purchasing pets from shops or breeders.
While this is always a tough topic of discussion, it needs
to be addressed. The county spends $8 million annually on
animal care and control. For every animal that goes to the
shelter, it costs taxpayers $400. A year of euthanizing animals
cost $3.6 million. Saving abused and abandoned animals also
requires community-based efforts. For more information on
adopting or volunteering, please visit the Animal Care and
Control Web site at http://www.pbcgov.org/publicsafety/
animalcare/aboutus.htm or call 233-1200.
If I can be assistance to you in any way, please don’t
hesitate to contact me by e-mail at [email protected] or
by phone at 355-2201.

By O’Neal Bardin Jr.
Executive Director
Northern Palm Beach County
Improvement District
During the dry season,
Northern receives calls from
residents asking why the
water levels are so low and
asking us to pump water back
into the lakes within their
development. The simple
answer is that Northern was
not created to pump water
into areas, but to drain the lands within its jurisdiction to make
it habitable for development. Stormwater was treated with
enmity! Thankfully, time has changed the state’s opinion of
water and has in turn found ways to conserve it. However,
there are times when water can be problematic, especially
during storm events. For those instances, Northern has created
stormwater management systems throughout its jurisdiction
to manage stormwater.
During storm events, Northern’s systems work to
discharge excess water through systems of lakes, canals,
marshes and preserves by means of pumps, operable
structures and fixed weirs. Operable structures are concrete
structures with a mechanical gate attached that allows staff
to open and close the gate to let water out of an area if it
reaches a certain level. A weir is also a structure but it does
not contain an operable gate. This means that the discharge
elevations are set or “fixed” and cannot be altered. Once the
water elevation within an area gets to a certain height, any
excess water spills over the top of the weir and discharges into
other water bodies and eventually to the ocean. This happens
by gravity. Each receiving water body is slightly lower than
the one discharging into it. So for the water, it’s basically a
one-way street. We only have the capacity to remove excess
water and no ability to move water back into our development
areas.
The level of water in the lakes can be affected by irrigation
demands. Many areas have irrigation pipes in lakes that draw
water to irrigate lawns and landscape. In periods of little to
no rain, water is not being replaced fast enough to counteract
the effects of irrigation. In those instances, lake levels will
decline.
Finally, the natural effects of evaporation decrease water
levels. When temperatures rise and humidity stays low, water
will evaporate from lakes much faster than in cooler or more
humid conditions. This is the typical situation during the
spring months, when lakes are nearing their lowest points.
Until the wet season starts, typically in the summer
months, the lakes will remain low. We cannot pump water
back into lakes; we can only discharge excess water.
*****
NPDES tip: Hurricane season begins June 1. Make sure
your yards and trees are trimmed neatly to avoid flying debris
during a storm. Dispose of your trimmings and clippings
properly – do not put them into storm drains or lakes!

For The Record
Guardianship Fraud Bill
Approved By Florida
Legislature
By Clerk Sharon R. Bock,
Esq., Clerk & Comptroller,
Palm Beach County
I’m pleased to report
some great news out of this
year’s legislative session
in Tallahassee. Thanks to
your support, the Florida
Legislature approved a bill
that will allow Florida’s
clerks to conduct enhanced
audits of court-appointed
guardianships, modeled after
the successful Guardianship Fraud program we have here in
Palm Beach County. The bill is now on its way to Gov. Rick
Scott for his signature.
I know these guardianship fraud programs are effective,
because we’ve seen real results in Palm Beach County. Our
investigations into Palm Beach County guardianship cases
have led to two arrests and have uncovered more than $3
million in questionable expenses and misreported assets since
the program launched in September 2011.
I believe most guardians do have their wards’ best interests
at heart. But for anyone in Palm Beach County who is in a
court-appointed guardianship, our audits offer an added layer
of protection against fraud.
You can learn more about our Guardianship Fraud
program at www.mypalmbeachclerk.com/fraud, or report
suspected financial fraud to our Guardianship Fraud Hotline
at (561) 355-FRAUD.
Allowing Florida’s clerks to enhance their guardianship
fraud programs is a significant step toward protecting our
state’s most vulnerable citizens – those people, both young
and old, who are appointed guardians to oversee their assets. I
applaud our legislative leaders for their foresight in approving
this much-needed legislation.
Commissioners Updated On County’s Financial Health
In “State Of The County” Address
Palm Beach County Clerk & Comptroller Sharon Bock
cautioned the Board of County Commissioners that the
county’s net position – its net worth – could continue to
decline if the county’s spending exceeds its revenue in fiscal
year 2015 and beyond.
In fiscal year 2013, Palm Beach County’s net position
decreased $41 million, the first time since fiscal year 2010
that the county’s net position declined. While the county’s
tax revenues were up in FY 2013, the county’s spending
increased over revenue collections, creating the decline in
net position.
To avoid a similar decrease in the future, Bock
recommended developing a strategic approach to budgeting
taxpayer dollars during her annual “State of the County”
report to the Board of County Commissioners at their Tuesday
meeting.
“As Palm Beach County’s economy improves, now is the
time to ensure the county’s budget aligns with the Board of
County Commissioner’s priorities,” Bock said.
Bock’s other recommendations to county commissioners
include:
• Adopting comprehensive reserve and fund balance
policies
• Enhancing and strengthening financial plans for debt
issuance
• Implement an electronic time and attendance system for
employees.
As comptroller, Bock serves as Palm Beach County’s chief
financial officer, treasurer and auditor, creating a separation
of powers between the policymakers on the Board of County
Commissioners and the fiscal authority for the county. This
constitutional check and balance ensures that the public’s tax
dollars are managed and spent with the taxpayers’ needs in
mind.
Also on Tuesday, the clerk and comptroller distributed the
latest edition of Checks & Balances: Your Guide to County
Finances, also known as a Popular Annual Financial Report
(PAFR). County commissioners and everyone in attendance
at the commission meeting received a copy.
Both Checks & Balances and the financial report to
the Board of County Commissioners are based on the
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, produced each
year by the clerk and comptroller’s financial division. These
award-winning financial publications, which include the
Annual Investment Guide and Annual Debt Guide, can be
found online at www.mypalmbeachclerk.com/countyfinances.
For more information about county finances and the
financial reports available from the clerk and comptroller’s
office, visit the County Finances page on www.
mypalmbeachclerk.com.
The Florida Constitution established the independent
office of the clerk and comptroller as a public trustee,
responsible for safeguarding public records and public funds.
Clerk Sharon Bock is directly elected by and accountable
to Palm Beach County residents. In addition to the roles of
Clerk of the Circuit Court, County Recorder and Clerk of the
Board of County Commissioners, the Clerk and Comptroller
is the chief financial officer, treasurer and auditor for Palm
Beach County.

The Public Benefits Of Avenir – Place Making
By The Avenir Team
“You have to ask yourself, ‘why are we drawn to some
places, and not to others?’ There’s a lot of effort being
expended on making more streets work for more people,
but even though a lot of time and money was being put
into large projects, they weren’t necessarily leaving behind
streets that are better to grow a business on, or to make
a home. These are the efforts that create a great address
– places people want to live, work or to want to be over
another place. That is at the core of everything we are
putting into Avenir.” – Victor Dover
Avenir promises to be a unique and iconic community,
an example of the kind of special place that attracts
residents and visitors. This article focuses on some of the
key place making components proposed for Avenir, to give
it character and soul.
Central to Avenir will be its Main Street, an
architecturally distinctive commercial area designed for
inviting boutiques, galleries and restaurants, all centered
around an open-air civic center that can house farmers
markets, food and wine festivals and other community
events. Community will be at the core of Avenir.
At our most recent community meetings, many people
were drawn to Avenir’s proposal for a professionally
curated arts district. Throughout the Main Street, there will
be collections of professionally curated art in public places.
Residents and visitors will be drawn to an innovative art
and cultural district, featuring an eclectic mix of galleries
and cultural venues. Creativity will be at the core of Avenir.
Avenir’s plans call for the restoration of approximately
2,300 acres of wetlands and preserve areas that will create a
natural paradise over more than half of the Avenir property.
When restored, Avenir will reconnect the watershed,
significantly contributing to the restoration of the
Everglades ecosystem. Avenir’s vision incorporates highend eco-tourism and environmental education, through
a state-of-the-art Eco Lodge fronting our most beautiful
vistas, tied to innovative programming for children and
adults. Preservation, restoration and appreciation of the
natural landscape will be at the core of Avenir.
Victor Dover, one of the lead planners on the Avenir
project, who was cited by Architecture magazine as being
among “the country’s best urban designers and architects,”
has said, “The best streets require beauty, visual decorum
and a sense of completeness that comes in large part from
the dignity of street-oriented architecture and urbanism,
not from signs and reflective stripes.” Victor’s vision is
evident throughout the project. The streets, boulevards,
trails and natural areas at Avenir will be designed to
encourage people to meet and connect, creating the best
kind of community living.
Avenir Holdings has conducted over 150 meetings
over the course of the past year, and is currently engaged
in an active outreach program with Palm Beach Gardens
communities, to listen and incorporate public input into
the plan. PGA has the opportunity to provide input that
will shape the project for benefit of PGA, the Gardens and
surrounding communities. We invite you to join our efforts.

condos for the summer. The 5 percent Tourist Development Tax (TDT) is collected on any
unit rented or leased in Palm Beach County for six months or less. If you plan to rent your

All Aboard Florida: A Real Concern To Us All
By Eric Jablin, Vice Mayor
City of Palm Beach Gardens
All Aboard Florida’s
(AAB) plan to bring passenger
rail service from Orlando to
Miami is something that will
affect us all and we should all
be concerned about.
The widening of the
Panama Canal which will
be completed in the next two
years will double the capacity
of the canal allowing post Panamax ships (super container
ships) to pass through from west to east. That will bring a
deluge of freight that has to be moved through our state to
markets in the northeast. The double tracking of the right
of way along the FEC tracks to make passenger service a
reality is basically a ploy to get federal loan guarantees for
the financing of a very lucrative freight business.
The FEC presently moves 12 to 14 freight trains a day
up the track. The company, on its own Web site, projects
that freight traffic will double from 12 to 14 trains daily to
28 trains a day when the project is complete. These trains
are around two miles long and move very slowly. They can
take up to five minutes to clear an intersection which will
occur 28 times a day. If you add that to the 32 passenger
trains they propose; that’s a lot of cars, trucks and emergency
vehicles waiting to cross the tracks every day not to mention
the boat traffic across the New River in Ft. Lauderdale, the
Loxahatchee River in Jupiter /Tequesta and the St. Lucie
River.
This project has been touted by AAF as a boon to the
economy of Florida, however the only communities that will
see any real benefits from AAF are the four cities that have
stops along the way. The rest of us will have to put up with
more noise and real safety problems.
To be practical The FEC has been a part of the state of
Florida for more than 100 years and to be fair it has brought
huge economic benefits to our state. I do not believe nor do
I want the railroad to go away but hopefully enough pressure
can be brought to bear to make them bend to the very real
concerns of the communities that they roll through.
What Is Being Done To Date
Because FECI is a private corporation which owns
the right of way, FECI would not have to undergo any
government permitting if it sought private financing in order
to build the infrastructure it needs to operate the new service.
However, because it has applied for a $1.5 billion RRIF loan
(Railroad Rehabilitation & Improvement Financing) from
the FRA (Federal Railway Administration) it must adhere
to some level of public scrutiny.
FECI (Florida East Coast Industries) is in the process
of issuing an (EIS) Environmental Impact Statement which
is required in order to qualify for a RRIF loan. The EIS is
expected to be issued in late May or early June. The public
then has 75 days to respond with its questions which the
applicant must answer to satisfy all legitimate concerns. The
FRA then has 90 days to either issue or deny the loan based
on whether the FRA deems the application complete.
As the public becomes more aware of this project, groups
have started to form that are asking more questions and
demanding more answers. “Not All Aboard Florida” is one of
these groups which has had many public meetings, has a Web
site and has collected over 10,000 signatures in opposition to
this project. The Marine Industries Association of Palm Beach

County Inc., a not for profit organization, has hired a law
firm to challenge the EIS on the basis of legitimate concerns
about unobstructed marine access to the waterways. There is
a group of communities along the FEC corridor that has been
meeting for the past several weeks and is in the process of
hiring a law firm within Washington to oversee the lobbying
and PR effort. All these groups are now at the table, talking
to each other and are in the process of forming one large
effort to bring FECI to the table to meet the concerns of the
community at large.
All this is happening very quickly. I have been attending
meetings and sitting at the table to help protect the interests
of our residents and our businesses. I know many of you
have written me and are concerned about the movement of
freight from the FEC to the CSX tracks. That would not be
a real solution either. Ultimately what I would like to see
accomplished is to be able to limit the amount of freight that
rolls through our city which has the real potential to harm
our community. If we are successful we will ensure that our
east/west grade crossings will not be obstructed any more
then they are today and quiet zones will be put in place to
improve our quality of life. This will not be easy because the
FRA is hyper biased in favor of railroads. I will continue to
monitor this and keep you informed.

News From Devonshire At PGA National
Devonshire Partners
With Habitat For Humanity
ReStore
As future residents at Devonshire at PGA National
select an apartment home at the Palm Beach Gardens
retirement community, they are able to make a variety of
interior selections for their new home from paint color to
new appliances to lighting options. In turn, older appliances
and fixtures in the apartment are often removed and replaced
with new selections per an incoming resident’s preferences.
As a result, a beneficial community partnership has been
established between Devonshire and Habitat for Humanity
ReStore of Palm Beach County.
“When a new resident chooses the
Devonshire lifestyle, our goal is to ensure
they truly feel at home, starting with their own
apartment,” said Michelle Wartgow, sales
associate at Devonshire. “Incoming residents
have the opportunity to select new features
in their apartment home, which allows us
in turn to donate formerly used appliances
and fixtures in the apartment to Habitat for
Humanity ReStore.”
This year, Devonshire has already donated
more than 100 appliances to Habitat for
Humanity ReStore from refrigerators and
dishwashers to washing machines and
microwaves. The organization also removes
My Physical Therapy Is Complete Now What?
By Brett Richman,
RPT
If you have spoken
to your therapist and/
or doctor, you already
know the answer. Your
rehabilitation is not
finished just because you
graduated from formal
physical therapy.
To maintain the level of function that you
achieved through physical therapy, and to continue
your functional improvement, it is important that
you continue a program of physical training several
times a week. Continued improvement can be
accomplished through a home exercise program, a
therapist supervised wellness program, gym programs
or personal training.
Home Exercise Program
Prior to completion of your physical therapy
program, you should be given a home exercise
program. You should receive detailed exercise sheets
with easy to understand pictures to guide you through
your home exercise program. You might even receive
exercise equipment like elastic bands to help facilitate
home exercise. Always follow the recommendations
of your therapist with respect to limitations or
restrictions.
Wellness Programs
For those of you that are ready for a gym setting,
but are not comfortable returning to a big gym
environment this option works well.
This program allows you to use a physical therapy
center as a gym with the comfort of knowing that
trained professionals are “watching you.” These
professionals will correct you if an exercise is being
performed incorrectly, assist you on and off machines,
and aid in a program progression that will lead you
to meet your goals, while ensuring that you are not
engaging in exercises that might hurt you or cause a
regression of your therapy goals.
Wellness programs vary in length. Most insurances
do not pay for wellness programs and as such they
are usually paid for by you on a monthly basis, like
a gym. Prices vary depending on the center.
Wellness programs are a great way to wean
yourself towards workout independence in a safe and
friendly environment.
Personal Training
Personal training has come a long way in recent
years. Today’s trainers are better educated in a variety
of new exercise styles and techniques that will get you
stronger, faster and more flexible than you do on your
own. However, most training certification programs
do not teach trainers how to safely work with
individuals with injuries or post-therapy restrictions.
Working with a trainer inexperienced in post-therapy
training can place you at risk of re-injury.
Be Your Own Advocate!
Remember, you spent time selecting a surgeon and
you did the same when choosing a physical therapy
center. Follow up with the same care when selecting
your personal trainer.
Ask questions.
Ask the trainer:
•
Have they been trained on how to work with
individuals with your diagnosis or surgery?
•
Are they familiar with the limitations or
restrictions associated with your diagnosis and how
to train efficiently and safely with you?
Whichever method of continued physical training
you choose - DO IT! The goal of physical therapy
and continued training is to maximize your physical
capabilities to keep you involved in community and
recreational sporting activities.
Post Physical Therapy Personal Training At
Fairway Physical Therapy
At Fairway Physical Therapy we are committed to
your continued recovery and improvement even after
you have completed your rehabilitation so that you
may safely enjoy and embrace the physically active
lifestyle you have always enjoyed.
•
Your personal exercise program is designed
by a physical therapist (PT/PTA) in conjunction with
a personal trainer. Together they gauge your current
capabilities and personal training needs to formulate
your comprehensive personal training program.
•
One-on-one personal training sessions with
a certified personal trainer who has been supervised
and trained by a licensed physical therapist in meeting
post-rehabilitation needs and restrictions.
Wellness programs available.

The Singles Scene Column©
By Popular Demand: Five
Types of Singles
Summer 2014 is here & the HEAT is ON.
What type of single are YOU?
By Kelly Leary ©, M.S.
President & Founder of
Revolution Dating
The Curmudgeon
Single: This type may
be single, divorced or
widowed. Key traits: cranky,
negative, grouchy...in some
ways even unlovable. There
may be a sense of desire
for another completely
“out of their league” which
exaggerates their bad
attitude...as they are never
satisfied. Likelihood of resuming a relationship...slim
to none. Open to change...minimal. This male or female
may have been cheated on or took a large financial hit in
life and never recovered. This person can be helped with
some therapy or a complete change of attitude. However,
a “revolution” becomes less likely with age. If this is you,
get moving while you “still got it.”
The HopeFULL Romantic: Luckily “most” of the
people I meet in my office are this type. This male or female
has felt love more than once. They have also felt heart
ache...but they continue to love again...and they almost
always do! WHY? Because they believe in love AND they
know they are lovable. This person knows the benefits of
love will ALWAYS outweigh the risks. Single, divorced,
or widowed of ALL AGES...this person has a high success
rate and the odds are in their favor. This person can be
alone, but their ultimate desire is to find a special person
to share their life.
The Lucy Goosey: Typically female. Often found in
bars or online dating sites is rather desperate to find love.
Most divorced or never married... 25 to 55. This woman
jumps from man to man rapidly. She confuses physical
aspects of intimacy with love and commitment and is
often left with feelings of rejection, insecurity, and often
jealousy...because she is rarely...if ever...the “chosen one.”
She will date almost “anyone” who pays attention to her.
The Even Steven: He is total mess. Commonly
divorced or never married. Age 25 to 65. He is the male
counterpart of Lucy Goosey. He wants love and intimacy
but can’t seem to shake his past failures. This man blames
women for all his failings, and suffers from great insecurity
in and out of the bedroom. He may also over-compensate
for his weakness by seeking multiple notches in his head
board...to get “EVEN” with the opposite sex...trying to
desperately make himself “whole” again. He is rarely
successful and noncommittal when all is said and done.
Most men like this prey in bars and online.
The Past Life Blessed: Widow or widower of any age,
although typically age 60 to 80+. This male or female had
a special marriage. Has grieved appropriately and is now
“ready to find new companionship.” However, they are
comparing everyone they date to their late husband or wife.
I have seen many widows and widowers find love again in
my club...and if they can’t seem to shake the past...perhaps
a few therapy sessions may help? My hats are off to those
who have found the key to happy marriage...and I know...
as with the “HOPEFULL ROMANTICS” that there can be
a chapter after a death of spouse. The generation of seniors
today given the right circumstances and opportunity...can
really have a ball. I see it all the time!
Let’s all enjoy this Summer of Love 2014! The world
is in your hands...and happiness is a choice! Make a good
one today! Please reserve your spot at our Hot Summer
Nights Party on June 26th. The venue is AMAZING (TBA
privately).
Much Love to You & Yours, XOXO, Kelly

Qualifier For U.S. Open Golf Tournament
By Marcia Dowd
On May 2, the Club at Admiral’s Cove in Jupiter, was proud to host the first of 111
qualifying rounds for the 2014 U.S. Open Golf Tournament. Eighty-three golfers qualified,
58 professionals and 25 amateurs with a golf handicap index of 1.4 or better.
The five players with the best scores go on to the Sectional Qualifiers. Adam Long
of Jupiter finished first with Medallist Honors posting a 64 and Bobby Collins of Palm
Beach Gardens and Curtis Thompson of Coral Springs tied for second place with a 66.
Six players who had shot a 68 went into a playoff for the two remaining spots. Paul
Scaletta (assistant pro at the Bears Club) and Richard Terga (teaching pro at The Breakers)
secured the last two spots.
The sectionals will take place June 2 in 10 locations with the U.S. Open being played
at Pinehurst in North Carolina on Father’s Day weekend, June 12-15.
Golf is a sport of individual challenges based on skill and honor spanning all ages
and backgrounds. The following threesome is an example of this.
Jerry Tucker from Stuart had just won the Senior South Florida Open and was proud to
be the oldest participant in this event at age 64. Jerry had played in the U.S. Open in 1981

and 1984 and made
it to the sectionals
as recently as three
years ago. He proudly
pointed out that he
played in the Open two
decades before fellow
competitor Henry
Dubiel was born!
Henry Dubiel from
North Palm Beach was
the youngest player
at age 13. He smiled
as he said how proud
he was to be able to
compete at 13 and
shooting a 77, which
beat his older brother
who didn’t compete
until 14 and he shot
2011 PGA Champion Evan Bernie and Keegan Bradley
79!
Rounding out this
threesome was Rafael Chaves Baicel from Brazil, age 40, who had played in the World
Cup Golf Tournament in 2011. This interesting trio was cheering each other on because
in golf while you’re competing against each other, you want everyone to play their best.
Other interesting facts regarding this event are:
• The players came from 11 states and 11 different countries.
• Forty-three members of Admiral’s Cove volunteered to shuttle the players around
their club and were very proud hearing all the compliments regarding what wonderful
shape the course and greens were in.
• Volunteer Bernie, one of Admiral’s Cove golfers, has a current index lower than
the necessary 1.4 to play in this event, but chose to volunteer. Having played in two
qualifying rounds in the past, he shared his insights on the sport of honor where you
play against yourself, the course and the elements. He said that over the years some of
his best business deals and friendships were made on the golf course.
• Bernie’s comment regarding golf and friendships was exemplified as Keegan Bradley,
PGA tour professional and winner of the 2011 PGA Championship caddied the whole
day for his friend Evan Bernie
As you tune in to watch the final round on June 15, Father’s Day, may you appreciate
the sport, the story behind each player and the journey they took to get there.
are big ole meanies, but rather because fishing is a great “cover” for scoping out houses
to break into. Only residents of PGA National and their guests are permitted to obtain
a fishing license. The cost is $10 and, unless you are over the age of 65, a valid Florida
fresh water-fishing license is required before you can get a POA license. POA fishing
licenses are good for one year. If you see anyone fishing behind a home or on the golf
course, please call PGA security at 627-1600.
Ending In Thanks
The POA Board implemented a program where Karen Warshaw (who is on the
PGA POA Board and co-chair of the POA Maintenance Committee) is meeting with
representatives from each community to offer “another set of eyes.” She is reviewing
each association’s common areas and the owner’s lots and making recommendations
for improvements without breaking the bank. In addition to numerous associations
who have made improvements, many owners have joined the effort and have mulched
the property, refreshed “tired” plants, trimmed trees and, in general, “spruced up.” It
is amazing how great a community looks when the houses have their plants trimmed,
healthy and mulched! The POA Board wanted to express their appreciation – Keep up
the good work!
Drainage Information From Northern
Palm Beach County Improvement District
Why do some yards flood after large quantities of rain? The simple
answer is according to most approved drainage designs, some water is
meant to be temporarily stored in public recreational areas, yard swale
and streets. The excess surface water slowly drains to community lakes or
on-site ponds via street and yard drainage grates and/or via swales, ditches
and canals. The more complex answer is that each yard is different.
Some yards have drainage swale areas. These are areas that are sloped to
catch water and filter out pollutants as water is absorbed into the ground.
Some yards direct water to the community drainage system as run-off
with very little water retained in the yard. Familiarize yourself with how
your yard was built to determine how water drains from your home.

Police Foundation:
Community Safety And Community Outreach
By Tom Murphy
The Sixth Annual
Legacy Place Food
and Wine Festival is
history and the Police
Foundation is grateful
to the wonderful
folks at Legacy Place
for making us the
beneficiary of their
2014 fundraiser.
The festival was a celebration of food, wine, beer and
spirits under a beautiful south Florida spring sky. The
streets of Legacy Place came alive with samplings galore
plus live music, games, entertainment and more. Over 30
restaurants participated in the event and there were a record
1,100 participants. One hundred percent of the proceeds
of the evening went to the Police Foundation and totaled a
startling $30,400. We are very grateful to our title sponsor,
Legacy Place, for giving us this fundraising opportunity
along with all of the people, sponsors and vendors who
supported us.
Also since last month’s article, the Police Foundation,
in partnership with the city of Palm Beach Gardens, was
honored to be the presenting sponsor of the inaugural
“Gardens Cup.” This new golf tournament, held at the
recently renovated Palm Beach Gardens Municipal Golf
Course, had both a competitive and recreational element on
some of the finest greens and fairways in south Florida. This
community-outreach event raised funds for the city’s Spirit
Team which supports local charities as well as recognizes
city employees for their community service activities.
Upcoming for the Police Foundation is our sponsorship
of the “Palm Beach Gardens National Night Out” (NNO).
Neighbors and communities across the nation celebrate
“America’s Night Out Against Crime” annually and Palm
Beach Gardens has been an active participant for over 15
years.
NNO is a joint Police-Community Partnership designed
to heighten crime prevention awareness, strengthen
neighborhood spirit and camaraderie and to send a message
to criminals letting them know that our neighborhoods are
organized and fighting back.
Here in Palm Beach Gardens the event will take place
on Tuesday, Aug. 5 from 6 to 9 p.m. in front of city
hall. Demonstrations by the Palm Beach Gardens Police
Department’s SWAT Team, Motorcycle Unit and Police
K9s are all in the plans. The Palm Beach Gardens Fire
Department will also be participating and showcasing their
equipment, training and tactics.
Sgt. Paul Rogers, head of the Police Department’s
Community Involvement Unit said that “This is an
opportunity to promote awareness, safety and unity in our
communities and to give crime a going away party!”
The Police Foundation’s primary objective in these
events is to promote community safety in Palm Beach
Gardens for our residents, businesses and visitors. We do this
by helping fund the vital training, equipment and technology
needs of the police department as well as supporting
community outreach and crime-prevention programs.
Tom Murphy has been president of the Palm Beach
Gardens Police Foundation Inc. since its inception in 2007.
Before helping to form the foundation he was a marketing
executive with the IBM Corporation and earlier a member
of the Nassau County (NY) Police Department.

Let Me Tell You
Thoughts On Human
Potential
By Marie Pinschmidt
Psychologist Abraham
Maslow (1908–1970) has
written, “A musician must
make music, an artist must
paint, a poet must write –
if he is to be ultimately at
peace with himself. What
one can be, one must be.”
The same holds true for any
profession or occupation.
The paramount question is
simply how to get to “must.”
Maslow spent his life researching health and human
potential, emphasizing the study of healthy minds and
successful systems rather than the abnormal and the ill.
His interest was in the hierarchy of needs, self-actualizing
persons, purposeful play and peak experiences.
He saw human beings’ needs arranged like a ladder. The
most basic needs, at the bottom, were physical – air, water,
food, etc. Then came safety needs – security, stability and
comfort. Next were social needs – acceptance, belonging
and love. At the top were self-actualizing needs – the need to
fulfill oneself and to become all one is capable of becoming.
Maslow felt that unfulfilled needs, low on the ladder,
inhibited one from climbing to the next step. Someone dying
of thirst is not likely to write or paint. Those who managed
the higher needs were self-actualizing people. These folks,
he found are able to focus on problems outside themselves,
have a clear sense of what is true and what is phony, and are
spontaneous, creative, and not bound too strictly by social
conventions.
Maslow left us with a few ideas worth noting if we
want to further evolve artistically or in any other endeavor:
Systematically study, understand and neutralize the effects
HEADACHES
of lower needs. Accept the world in all of its complexity,
mystery and ambiguity. Take cues from winners, not losers.
Keep company with doers, not talkers. Play your personal
game on as many levels as you’re able. Fall is love with
your processes, innovations, dreams and higher ideals. Be
sensitive to and welcome the arrival of peak experiences.
Have no guilt when you see yourself becoming proactive
and compulsive. Allow yourself to be swept up in your
personal “must.”
I would venture to say that few of us have lived up to our
human potential for reasons known or unknown. Maslow
asks, “Where was the human potential lost? How was it
crippled?” A good question might be not why people reach
their potential but why they do not, and on which rung of
the ladder did they lose their footing.
Peak experiences can be profound moments of love,
understanding or happiness, when one feels more whole,
alive, self-sufficient and more aware of truth, justice,
harmony and goodness. If you have reached these peaks,
then you are truly fortunate. If they have seemed to bypass
you, then you might want to examine the “why.” You might
discover you have reached the peak in more ways than
one. If we haven’t discovered our “must,” we must keep
searching and doing. Don’t despair if you haven’t reached
the acme in the creative or professional arts, Maslow also
said, “A first-rate soup is more creative than a second-rate
painting.” I like that.

Palm Beach Gardens Garden Club Visits Cool Roses
A visit to Cool Roses in West Palm Beach was the
location of the Palm Beach Gardens Garden Club’s May
7 meeting. Rather than have Geoff Coolidge, owner
of Cool Roses, come to the Lakeside Center in Palm
Beach Gardens, members traveled to him to see the roses
growing. He had sample flowers to pass around, but the
informal setting allowed those who had traveled to his
Elena and Stefan Ordentlich relax as they listen to Geoff
Coolidge discuss care and choice of roses.

nursery a chance to ask many questions about the care
of roses in Florida and up north where many go in the
summer.
Of course the season for roses is the reverse in the
two locations, and there are many roses that can survive
in Florida that would not in the northeast or Midwest and
vice versa. For example, the David Austin and St. Patrick
grow well in Florida while New Dawn and Peace roses are
meant for the north. In Florida Fortuniana roses or their
rootstock are assured success. Coolidge’s advice: “Find a
rose you like best and go with it.”
Another thing to know is that antique roses or old
roses have been around for 200 years, so they have the
best chance of growing well. There are also modern roses
with many classifications. Grafted roses grow faster and
have larger roses. All roses need at least four and a half
hours of direct sun, water (but not too much), and fertilizer.
However if roses are in pots inside a screen enclosure,
fertilizer doesn’t help them. Roses do grow easily in pots,
but every year they need to come out of their pots and half
their roots must be cut off. Otherwise eventually the whole
pot will be roots only.
In Florida roses cannot be cut back from May to late
October. After October only cut off the flower if that’s all
you want until the weather is cooler. Mulch is good for
roses to keep moisture in the roots, but don’t let the mulch
touch the plant. Insects chew the mulch and can easily
travel to the rose if it’s too close. After the final cutting
before May, low nitrogen or Epsom salt can be fed to the
rose for summer. Many hybrid roses are disease resistant.
Contact Geoff Coolidge for more information or to visit
his nursery.
We are not the same.
Don’t treat us the same.

Lasagna With A Great Bottle Of Wine
By Glenn Sudnick,
Certified Sommelier
Lasagna is a classic Italian
casserole dish. There are some
discussions where the origin
of the dish is from. Some say
it comes from ancient Greece
word “laganon” which is a
flat sheet of pasta dough cut
into strips.
The other theory suggests
the word lasagna comes from
the Greek “lasana”or “lasanon” meaning trivet (an object
placed between the serving dish and dining table) or stand
for a pot.
The Romans borrowed the word as “lasanum” in Latin
meaning cooking pot. The Italians used the word to refer to
the dish in which the lasagna is made. Later, the name of the
food took on the name of the serving dish.
When I was a child I remember my aunt making a dish of
lasagna and placing it on dining table in front of the family.
I remember it as though it was yesterday. By the time I went
back for a third helping it was gone. I wish she had cut me a
bigger piece of lasagna.

I have hit gold;
and found a sauce
for this great dish
that is delicious.
It originates
from a Sicilian
g r a n d m o t h e r,
Antonia Barbaro.
I was introduced
to this excellent
sauce by her
grandson, Joseph
Barbaro. The
sauce includes
all of the best
ingredients
including choice
U S D A m e a t Rocca della Macie Riserva
and tomatoes
with basil, fennel
and finely chopped
garlic and onion –
all slowly simmered
over 10 to 12 hours.
It is definitely a
classic from old
world tradition. There
are no additives or
preservatives and is
Gluten-free.
I paired the lasagna
with a bottle of Rocca
della Macie Riserva
Chianti Classico 2007.
It is aged in French
oak for 24 months. Red sauce
Spumoni

This wine is intense with blueberries, blackberries, dried
spices and a long satisfying finish. This wine can definitely
be appreciated by those in the know.
Since the heat is now upon us, I decided to end this great
meal with an Italian spumoni. This is a classic ice cream with
candied cherries, pistachio, chocolate, strawberry and vanilla
layered to imperfection. That is what makes it so much fun.
To all of our readers, this is a time of year to enjoy all of
the season’s festivities.
Buon Appetito!

By Jay Lee, Computer/
IT Professional
So you’ve had your
current computer for
a while. It seems to
serve your purposes
fine, but you do notice
it’s getting slower to
do the same tasks you
have been doing for years. Is the computer
infected, or is it just too slow in today’s
multimedia heavy world? If you are to get
a new system, do you get a desktop with
Windows 8 or 7? Laptop? A Mac?
Sometimes the simplest of questions
seem difficult when you don’t have all
the facts. I can tell you in today’s world,
for just emails and the web, a dual core
processor at 2.0GHz, 4GB DDR3 RAM
and a 320GB hard drive should still serve
your purposes fine, but this info may not
help you at all. Windows 8 is the latest
operating system but is it worth sacrificing
your familiarity with Windows 7, or is
there a better solution? Should you get
more computer for your money by getting
a desktop instead of a laptop? If you don’t
travel with your laptop, you probably
don’t need one. And then about Macs... so
many of their users rave about how their
computers never get viruses and everything
is so easy, but that is not always true. Macs
can get spyware and viruses just like a PC.
Also, Macs are not “easier” to use than
PCs ... they just funnel you into easy but
sometimes non-intuitive processes that are
great if they work, but when they don’t, it
can be frustrating as well.
Bottom line, if your computer is over
5 years old and running slowly, it would
be more cost effective to just get a new
one. Keeping the old one means making
more efforts to clean it as well as having a
higher probability of part failures, like the
hard drive. That can cost you more than
$200 to replace and transfer all your old
data over ... back into the old computer
with old aging parts.

Great Britain’s Northern Treasures ...
By Don Kiselewski, MCC,
D.S.
Palm Beach Gardens Travel
Leaders
From the Lake District
of England’s north to the
Hebrides of Scotland lie
some of the most intriguing
landscape on earth. A
turbulent geological history
has given the region some
of Britain’s most varied
and dramatic scenery. With
the splendor comes the
downside ... this area also receives the harshest weather in
Europe.
Over 18 million people visit the Lake District annually.
It has become the favorite of the landscape painters, not
only because of its natural beauty, but also because of the
numerous structures that remain from bygone centuries that
dot the hillsides. The Normans built many religious houses
here and William II created estates for English Barons.
Today, the British National Trust is the most important
landowner in the district.
The placid atmosphere that prevails in the Lake District
is quite contrary to its early history. From the Roman
occupation in the Middle Ages, this northwestern portion
of England was in constant turbulence, as successive kings
and rulers fought over the territory. The remains of Celtic
monuments, stately homes, monastic ruins and relics of the
Roman occupation continue to thrill today’s historians.
Beautiful Finger Lakes caught between wooded hillsides
create the natural scenery that outweighs the man made
attractions that remain in the district. The waters of the
Lake District, as the lakes are referred to in Britain, lie
within a 60-mile diameter circle lying in the upper corner
of England, just below Carlisle, England. The geological
upheavals, that created the area, left rugged hills ... four
peaks higher than 1,000 meters.
Carlisle was one of the major towns along Hadrian’s
Wall. The wall was constructed on the orders of Emperor
Hadrian, and ran across Britain, coast to coast. It began
some 73 miles from a point west of Carlisle, across the
northern portion of the island, to Newcastle. Started in 120
A.D., the wall was built as a fortification that marked the
northern limit of England and the northwestern boundary
of the Roman Empire. Roman troops were stationed in
fortresses that were about five-miles apart. The troops were
there to keep the naked Scottish armies from invading to
the south. Abandoned in 383 A.D., the National Trust now
owns the remains of the wall.
Abandoning the wall’s use some 1,600 years ago as a
The entrance to Edinburgh Castle
military obstacle, allowed the Scots to migrate into England.
The wall, and the imaginary barrier that it represents,
was perhaps the impetus that produced the rare breed of
individuals that remain on the northern side of the wall.
Scots are extremely proud of their land from the desolate
Cullin Ridge of Skye ... the sparkling lochs which dissect
the land ... to the rolling lowlands that abut Hadrian’s Wall.
The land and Scottish history has taught self-reliance and
produced some of Britain’s boldest explorers, finest soldiers
and most discerning industrialists.
Scots are proud to count among their ranks such men as
James Watt, the designer of the first steam engine, which
powered the industrial revolution. In medicine, Scots like
James Simpson, who discovered the anesthetic qualities of
chloroform and all can thank Alexander Flaming for his
discovery of penicillin. Explorers also stem from Scotland ...
Robert Scott of the Antarctic and African missionary, David
Livingstone (I presume?). Probably best known for business
judgments, Scots have made their mark in the world. Both
the Bank of England and the Royal Bank of France, were
founded by Scots, and Andrew Carnegie, another Scot,
created one of America’s largest business empires.
With a population of only one-fifth of that of England
A stone bridge which crosses one of the many roaring rivers in Scotland
and Wales, Scotland has vast tracts of untenanted land that
abound in game. Hiking and fishing are two of the more
popular sports of the country. However, no mention of
Scotland can be made without remarking about their national
game, golf. The game was pioneered at the sandy links
around St. Andrews ... just a few miles from Edinburgh.
The earliest records of the game dates from 35 years before
Columbus discovered America (1457). Actually, James
II banned the game that year on the grounds that it was
disturbing his archery practice. Perhaps the first of the golf
jokes, about the dedication of players, stemmed from Mary,
Queen of Scots, playing the game in 1558, immediately
after the murder of her husband Damley. This coupled with
a few other indiscretions caused her to lose her crown and
20 years later, her head.
A union was formed between England and Scotland in
1707 due to the efforts of the Scottish king. Governed from
London, the six million Scots are proud of their separate
identity and their own system of law, education and local
administrations. Although united for governance, the nation
is fragmented and non-homogenous. Its main differences are
traditional, stemming from the Gaelic-speaking Highlanders
and the Lowlanders who spoke Scots, a form of English, now
extinct. A smidgen of Gaelic has survived today centered in
the Western Isles, and most people speak one of the many
dialects of a richly accented English. In the far north, a
lesser Norse heritage still exists. Shetlanders still celebrate
the Viking Fire Festivals, marking the return of the sun.
Besides language, there are other differences separating
the Lowlands and Highlands of Scotland. In the traditional
separation of the two areas, there is plenty of upland
wild country included in the lowlands, when the line is
drawn between Loch Lomond to Stonehaven. south of this
boundary lay the Lowlands. It is the region that exemplifies
the diversity of Scotland’s magnificent scenery. Here wooded
valleys and winding rivers melt into the stern moorland hill.
Lively little fishing villages cling to the rocky East Coast,
while the West (Clyde) Coast and its islands are dotted with
vacation towns. The Trossachs Mountains lie inland and
bring romance to Loch Lomond and the surrounding area.
Spectacular mountains and glens, bordered by a wellworn coastline, which is protected by lonely islands, is the
epitome of Scottish Highland scenery. For over 1,000 years,
Celtic Highland Society was founded on the clan system,
built on family ties to create loyal groups depending on a
feudal chief. These clans where eventually broken up by the
English after 1746, with the defeat of the Jacobite attempt on
the British Crown, led by Bonnie Prince Charles. More than
half of the people of the Highlands and surrounding islands

live in communities of less than 1,000 people. However,
today thriving businesses of oil, fishing, handicrafts and
let’s not forget whisky (scotch), are now helping these small
communities to grow.
Rich heritage ... dramatic beauty ... impressive structures
... proud people ... and classic hospitality are but a few of
the experiences awaiting the traveler to the northern portion
of Britain.

Ali’s Alliance Benefit At PGA National
Top Hats & Tea Cups was a one-of-a-kind tea party at
PGA National Resort & Spa. The benefit included a reception
with silent auction and raffle items, specialty vendors and
bar service, prior to the start of a three-course cuisine and
tea pairing. The main program features a fashion show with
male and female cancer survivors escorted by their oncology
professionals, modeling floral hat creations designed by area
florists.
David Cowen Sr., founder, was the honorary chair; Todd
Johnson, honorary chair and sponsorship chair; Chris Collins,
model and fashion show chair; Elizabeth Dashiell, public
relations and marketing chair; and Mary Jean Houlahan was
the key note guest speaker. It was a very unique event that
delighted and inspired! For more information: go to www.
alisalliance.org to support cancer survivors and Ali’s Alliance!
Alison Cowan was a 44-year-old litigation paralegal at the
top of her career, and an active and enthusiastic member of
her church and community. In January 2010, Alison and her
husband David J Cowan Sr. received the devastating results of
a routine diagnostic procedure that revealed a malignant tumor
and the cancer was metastatic. Alison and David fought the
fight for 11 months.
The story of the inception and launch of Ali’s Alliance
began Jan. 29, 2011, when David was at home after attending
a large benefit for breast cancer research in West Palm Beach.
The benefit event was held exactly 56 days after the passing
of David’s loving and beautiful wife Alison from Mucosal
Melanoma. It occurred to David that all the hopes and plans
he had in his life had been built around what they were going
to do and in that moment he realized that fate had completely
cleared his plate. David knew that nothing he could do would
bring Alison back to him, but there was an opportunity for him
to provide a centralized resource center to reduce the time,

experience. It’s important that you find your
balance.
I had a patient who suffered a brainstem stroke,
he became very agitated and was unable to walk,
speak or eat by himself. His wife was his primary
caregiver and she found herself resenting her
husband and feeling terribly guilty about it. She
planned a trip to see her family and wanted to
cancel because of her husband’s condition. Her
children encouraged her to go and take advantage
of the respite services hospice offered. She went
reluctantly and upon her return, she realized how
much she missed her husband. It renewed her
sense of purpose after getting some much needed
rest.
Finding a balance is always easier said than
done, many of my patient’s caregivers feel they
are being selfish for putting their own needs first
or inadequate if they seek help. It’s important to
identify your own personal barriers and find ways
to move past them. Caring for your mother will
be one of the most challenging things you’ve
ever done. It will also one of the most meaningful
and personally rewarding. Your time, assistance
and presence are a gift beyond measure to your
mother, she would want you to make sure you’re
taking care of yourself as well.

supports young girls striving to achieve their potential. The
volunteer-run organization has compiled an impressive record
of accomplishments, providing meals for the homeless,
clothing for babies, classroom supplies for children and
annual scholarships to girls who have demonstrated their
desire to be leaders both on and off the playing field. The
foundation’s contributions to the Palm Beach Gardens Police

decided to have their
children pick pen pals in
the United Kingdom and
start a writing campaign.
The pen pal movement
was happening all over the
United States as a way to
support our allies and create
a bond with their young
children. Who knew from
the age of 8, they would still
be corresponding into their 80s?
Mom told me she would write to Margaret every
month and tell her about her hobbies, send pictures
and discuss food rations and other details going on
in America during wartime. When a letter came back
from England the postman would make a special
announcement upon delivery. “Airmail for Joan,” mom
would get so excited to see the thin, white envelope with
the special international symbol on the outside of the
fragile treasured correspondence. Margaret would tell
of blackouts, air raids by German planes and shellings
that would seem to last for days. She told mom of her
and her sister’s move to the country where most children
had been sent in order to be safe.
Although the war ended the letters and the friendship
continued. In fact, mom would consider Margaret one of
her oldest friends. When I was a teenager we went to visit
London to specifically meet Margaret. When the two of them
first met face to face for the first time, it was like old friends
coming together and talking about childhood memories and
secrets shared. Margaret grew up to be a school teacher
and never married, over the years they would send pictures
of children and weddings and share special occasions like
birthdays and holidays by phone. I remember how excited
mom would get when she would hear the crackle on the line
and the little British voice chirping “Joanie.”
I visited Margaret again about 20 years ago with my
cousin Colleen and one more time about 10-years back
with my girlfriend Debi. Each time I would snap a picture,
take her out to dinner and fill her in on the past decade
of happenings in my mother’s life in the states. She was
always delighted to see me and hear all the news.
About a year ago, mom sent a letter and it came back
labeled, return to sender. Margaret had no family left so
we never had any other point of contact. Recently, we
tried to call her flat but there never seems to be an answer.
Mysteriously, last Christmas a package arrived with a little
silver engraved pillbox but no note. We knew it was from
Margaret! We suspect she may have had a stroke and is
unable to write but we are not certain. The gesture of the
gift meant the world to my mother. I know my mom thinks
about her all the time. She longs for one more airmail
envelope to arrive in her box to let her know what has
happened to her old friend from across the pond.
Our countries started out as allies against evil and
oppression but the result was a deep and rewarding multicultural friendship that lasted a lifetime, withstood the
distance of an ocean and defied all odds. What a testament
to the power of friendship and the human spirit.

Summer Is Here! Saks Fifth Avenue Palm Beach Gardens
Hosts Successful Key To The Cure
Summer is here!
Along with summer
comes the increased
temptation to utilize
the golf courses as a
park/playground, but
we must ask you to
refrain from any nongolf related access.
Summer is a time when tremendous maintenance
is performed on all the courses, so there is a great deal
of equipment and work being done. In addition it is a
time when golfers play early to beat the heat and also
play late to do the same.
For your safety, please do not access the courses
unless you are registered to play golf.
Thank you
Saks Fifth Avenue Palm Beach Gardens raised more than
$60,000 during their annual Key To The Cure event, which
included a four-day shopping event and kickoff party where
more than 450 guests enjoyed a night of fashion and food. The
proceeds benefited the Kristin Hoke Breast Health Program at
Jupiter Medical Center.
“The Key To The Cure at Saks means so much to the Kristin
Hoke Breast Health Program at Jupiter Medical Center,” said
Dr. John Rimmer, medical director of the program. “Naturally
we are excited by the financial contribution, which allows us to
purchase state-of-the-art equipment to care for our patients. But
even more so, we are grateful for the recognition and support
from the community we serve.”
Playing host to this area’s Key To The Cure was Terry
Zmyslo, vice president general manager of Saks Fifth Avenue
Palm Beach Gardens, while Hobe Sound resident, author and
cancer survivor Carol Maglio and Jupiter resident and breast
cancer survivor Kathy Simon served as co-chairs.
“I am so grateful to the community, friends, sponsors,
restaurants and Saks Fifth Avenue for making this one of the
most successful Key to the Cure events,” said Maglio. “We

Where the smartest shoppers in Palm Beach
County go!
The Hospice of Palm Beach County Foundation
Resale Shops are a must-see destination for
experienced thrifters, antique dealers and
collectors who love the thrill of the hunt. Just ask
Drs. Kathleen Anderson and Susan Jones, authors
of “Jane Austen’s Guide to Thrift: An Independent
Woman’s Advice on Living,” who enjoy doing their
treasure hunting at the Hospice Resale Shops.
The resale shop experience at the Hospice
Resale Shops is unlike any other. When you
walk in, you are greeted with the soft sound of
music and knowledgeable staff who are always
available to help you and provide background
on the merchandise. The Hospice Resale Shops
offer shoppers a classy shopping experience,
with brand names like Armani, Coach and Chanel
often on the racks. Shoppers take advantage of
department store shopping experience at resale
prices.
They’re known for having it all, from art to
jewelry to antique furniture in the showroom-like
gallery. Antique collectors consider it a resource
and come in often to make sure they don’t miss a
thing! Donations flow in and out daily, so the best
strategy is to stop in often.
With two convenient locations serving Palm Beach
County for more than 20 years, Hospice Resale
Shops have become staples in the community.
Donating to the Hospice Resale Shops is making

Heart Disease Is No Match For The Red Dress
The ‘Any Woman, Any Age’
Theme Highlighted Heart
Disease Survivors
From Age 1 To 91
Jupiter was tickled red on April 11 when The Club
at Admiral’s Cove welcomed the Go Red for Women
Luncheon. Go Red for Women is the American Heart
Association’s movement to empower and educate women
to fight their number one killer: heart disease. The red
dress affair celebrates the yearlong efforts of Palm Beach
County philanthropists and business leaders to end heart
disease in women in their community.
Women from all over Palm Beach County united
for an exciting and educational day filled with lifesaving information, empowering survivor stories and
heartwarming connections. 2014 Open Your Heart
Ambassador, Jeanette Staluppi, stated, “Go Red for
Women is important because it shows women that
heart disease does not discriminate. It can happen to
anyone, and the three survivor stories shared today
showed this.”
Ruth Schwarzkopf, 2014 chairman and chief
nursing officer at West Boca Medical Center, was very
pleased with the outcome of the event. “I am so glad our
message, Any woman, any age, was overwhelmingly
made clear.” 2014 Circle of Red Ambassador Lorraine
Rogers-Bolton was also very happy to be part of such

a successful experience that brought much awareness to an
integral cause.
Go Red for Women is the world’s largest network of
females standing together to save women’s lives from heart
disease. Sheryl Williams, Circle of Red member, stated, “I
feel this luncheon created a new, alarming awareness in
many women about heart disease. Most of my friends were
shocked at the statistics, especially when they learned that
heart disease is their number one killer.” The American
Heart Association aspired to help women understand that
heart disease, though a startling risk, is preventable.
The American Heart Association’s mission is to build
healthier lives free of cardiovascular disease and stroke.
By 2020, their goal is to improve the cardiovascular health
of all Americans by 20 percent, while reducing deaths
from cardiovascular diseases and stroke by 20 percent.
The Go Red for Women movement is locally
sponsored by Tenet Florida.
Circle of Red is locally sponsored by Iberia Bank.

So many people are
asking me, “When will all
the planetary craziness let
up and when will our lives
get back to normal?” We are
not there as yet. Expect this
summer to be forcing you
out of your comfort zones,
with most of the pressure on
career or income, all kinds
of relationships and your
family and health. Your
goal should be to find balance in your daily routine and
leave plenty of time for unexpected events. Most of all tell
your family and friends that you love them.
Aries (March 21 to April 20)
Communicate in as many ways as you can. Link with
people from the past and present; talk to people about your
future goals. Magic can happen.
Taurus (April 21 to May21)
Money comes in unusual ways. Think from the results of
things that you have done and pyramid your power. Claim
your victories.
Gemini (May 22 to June21)
Energetically this should be a great month for you;
you will be able to focus exceptionally well. Finances can
improve. If single, romance is possible.

The phrase “Body
Contouring” can be
intimidating, but it is
more of a body tune up to
tweak areas on the body
that we are not happy
with. Body Contouring
is a subtle way to fine
tunes our bodies and
helps to regain back our
shape. Most importantly,
it can bring back your
confidence. It doesn’t
necessarily mean you
have to go under the knife
with general anesthesia.
There are many options
to help you achieve your goals with avoiding major
surgery.
Among my favorites right now is Coolsculpting.
Coolsculpting is unique for many reasons. No incisions,
no downtime, no surgery and it delivers great results. It
works by freezing the fat cells under the skin, causing
them to crystalize as our bodies excrete the destroyed
cells via our lymphatic system. If you are reading about
this for the first time. It sounds too good to be true,
but facts are, this technology is transforming bodies
one area at a time. It works best on pinchable fat. A
cute and funny statement in my practice is “If you
can squeeze it, you can freeze it!” We now have the
newest Coolsculpting applicator called “Coolsmooth,”
The Coolsmooth is able to treat the non-pinchable fat
bulges on the body that previously could not be treated.
An example of that is the outer thighs or otherwise
known as “saddle bags.” This is an excellent option for
patients who refuse any type of surgery at all.
Smart Lipo is a top favorite, because of the ability
to sculpt and tighten skin at the same time. The Smart
Lipo platform has been around for a long time. An
innovative leader in the industry of laser liposuction
uses a laser wave length to melt fat and tighten skin
it at the same time. It has the ability to reach hard to
treat areas such as fat left over from a tummy tuck gone
wrong, or from a previous liposuction that left a fat
bulge along the diaphragm. Again as all the treatments
in my practice, this procedure is performed under local
anesthesia and there is very minimal to no downtime.
The Smart Lipo triplex is one of the most advanced
technologies for laser liposuction that also has the
ability to tighten hanging jowls and rid you of cellulite.
These are just a couple of examples of how to contour
the body easily without major surgery. For other options
and more information visit www.mdbeautylabs.com
or call 561-655-6325 for a complimentary consultation.
We stand out in a crowd.
