new year by searching out one of the many
programs offered in this new issue of THE

The Department offers a wide variety of both active and passive classes
and programs for adults and children. In these pages of THE RECREATOR
the listings include diverse activities, ranging from theater productions
and technology classes to traditional sport programs such as tennis and
swimming and athletics. Learning opportunities at the Gumbo Limbo
Nature Center and Children’s Science Explorium are favorites, and there
are new enrichment experiences at the Library Learning Center. Whatever
your goal, we got it!

Donna Burton January 2016
A fine artist who works in mixed media. Her combined use of watercolors,
pen and ink, pencils and pastels in conjunction with interesting papers
create the basis of her original designs. Her work is fantasy and abstract
with an emphasis on exciting colors and dimension.
Rosie Sherman February 2016
Painting often becomes an obsessive passion, consuming all her
energy and thought until the piece is done. Landscapes, florals, and
women and children are frequently her subjects. Each piece holds
a special place in her heart, because of the pure joy of its creation.
The art of painting and the blending of colors have a soothing, yet
stimulating effect on the mind and soul.
Les Petite Collecteurs February 2016
A non-profit organization whose purpose is to create and stimulate
interest in dollhouse miniatures. The group conducts an annual show
and sale to generate funds for abused children.
Student Art Show March 2016

DID YOU KNOW?
The most common places for
daytime auto burglaries are beaches,
parks, gyms, and daycare.
Here are a few reminders
• Always lock your vehicle and roll
up the windows, no matter how long
you will be away.
• Limit what you bring to our
beaches & parks; an empty vehicle
deters thieves.
• Don’t leave purses, wallets,
electronics, money, sunglasses,
diaper bags, gym bags, or keys in
your vehicle.
• Please watch out for subjects
who loiter, appear to be lifting door
handles or are looking into windows.
Report these people immediately to
police by calling 561-368-6201, 911,
or alert a nearby park ranger.
• Thieves are always watching!
Placing your
belongings in the
trunk or under
your seat does not
safeguard them.

INDOOR SOCCER (FUTSAL)
Futsal is one of the fastest growing sports in the world! Essentially,
Futsal is indoor soccer. Futsal is a great skill developer for children
as it demands quick relexes, fast thinking, and pinpoint passing. The
game develops close individual ball skills as the court is small and
players are forced into limited space and option scenarios.

SEASON HIGHLIGHTS
Man-of-War
What is it? Man-of-War are most prevalent during the months of
November through April. When the Man-of-War present a hazard
to the public, the blue pennant flag will be flying from the lifeguard
towers. Man-of-War on the beach are also dangerous and capable of
stinging; therefore, they should be avoided.
Symptoms: Extreme pain from the Man-of-War sting usually
lasts from 1-3 hours. Serious symptoms from a sting could be any
combination of the following: tightness in the chest, respiratory
difficulty, stomach cramps, vomiting, allergic reaction or severe pain.
Those who suffer any of these symptoms should seek immediate
medical attention.
Treatment: Any Man-of-War sting should be treated by an ocean
lifeguard, who will apply a solution to the affected area. It is very
important that the victim use the callous portion of the fingertips to
peel off tentacles. Do not rub the affected area.
