Club Managers Teeing Off ‘Fore’ National,
Regional Kids’ Charities
Florida’s Seminole Region of the Club Managers
Association of America (CMAA) is hitting the greens
for their annual charity golf tournament to raise money
for children’s charities. The event has two components –
Marathon Golf, now in its fourth year, from May 13 to June
2, followed by the 24th Annual Best Ball Tournament. For
Marathon Golf, the managers’ membership, their recruits and
other entrants tee off at several area courses with pledges
made for every hole of golf played. Last year, the Seminole
Region of the Florida CMAA raised over $500,000, of which
$100,000 was collected by the Marathon Golfers. This year’s
goal is $200,000. The one-day Best Ball Tournament will
then be held at Boca West on June 9 preceded by the Grand
Gala on the 8th attended by over 800 guests.
The Best Ball Tournament is one of the most impressive
golf events of its kind with over 400 participants on
four courses. No other one-day tournament has this
many golfers participating for a single charity. At the
same time, the marathon event is also unlike other
tournaments – “unconventional” by many standards.
“Yes, we adhere to the basic scoring rules of golf,
but that’s where it ends. It’s not about protocol, it’s
about having fun while raising money. In essence,
we challenge everyone to play until they drop,”
mused Gary Collins, tournament committee member
and country club manager at Frenchman’s Reserve.
“A standard PGA tournament is 72 holes. With
Marathon Golf, some of us have played more than

More than 550 board members, staff, volunteers, donors
and advocates donned in their finest Western fashions,
cowboy boots and hats, diamonds and pearls corralled at
Tri County Humane Society’s 12th Annual Doggie Ball at
Boca West Country Club to raise $400,000 to support the
mission of the region’s largest 100% no-kill regional 501(c)
(3) animal rescue nonprofit that operates 100% on donations.
According to Doggie Ball Co-Chairs Harriet Lewis-Mooney
and Sharon DiPietro, the significant funds raised enable Tri
County to continue its life-saving work restoring wholeness
on a daily basis to puppies, kittens, dogs and cats in need,
providing safe homes, comfort, nutritious food, lots of
tender loving care and veterinary treatment until they can
be adopted.
Saving lives in Palm Beach, Broward, Dade and Martin
counties and beyond, Tri County is a protective haven to
thousands of abandoned, abused or neglected dogs and
cats from other facilities in South Florida, Treasure Coast
and as far as Sarasota, Alabama, Tennessee, Oklahoma and
Louisiana. A top-rated animal rescue center, Tri County
has rescued more than 42,000 animals since its inception,
offering homeless pets a welcoming forever home, either on
campus or through carefully vetted adoptions that total more

Doggie Ball Honorary Chairs included Lois Pope, Ari
Rifkin, Andrea Kline, Herme de Wyman Miro, and Richard
Schechter. They were supported by Ambassadors Jay
DiPietro and Jerry Kramer. Encouraging pet lovers to support
the great work of TCAR were the adorable 2014 “Rescue
Set” Grand Marshals: the “chirping” Maine Coon/Scottish
Fold Mix feline Merlin Mooney, Chihuahua Chloe Green
and Pomeranian Snowball Godin.
New name accurately defines organization’s brand
promise. “We have spent a great deal of time strategizing on
a re-freshened branding that effectively communicates ‘what
we do’ and ‘what drives us,’ and determined that Tri County
Animal Rescue achieves that,” TCAR Board Chair LewisMooney shared. “To visually support our new name, our new
logo icon design is symbolic in both color and elements. It is
a dramatic departure from the rescue organization’s previous
branding mark that featured an umbrella and a variety of
animals, including ducks, bunnies, hamsters and birds, that
are not rescued by Tri County for adoption.”
For a more accurate representation of the today’s Tri
County Animal Rescue mission and services, only a dog and
cat (a canine and feline) are featured living in harmony in a
protective haven with the brand promise of “100% no kill”
arched above their heads. A Florida Palm Tree, with generous
fronds, provides a sense of geographical place with added
protection to dogs and cats in need — near and far.
The colors -- red, yellow and orange -- each evokes its
own meaning while vibrantly blending to reflect a shared
relationship and relevancy that has evolved into what is
today’s TCAR brand:
• red reflects the action and passion of its Board of
Directors, staff, volunteers, donors and advocates who
support and champion the TCAR mission and vision;
• yellow infusion emulates the warm Florida sun,
happiness and cheer awaiting the thousands of abandoned,
abused or neglected dogs and cats, puppies and kittens
rescued by TCAR each year; and,
• orange awakens social communication of and within
community to join and advocate for TCAR and those it
protects and saves, and stimulates the optimism of finding
loving “furever homes,” either on campus or through
carefully vetted adoptions.
New expansion plans to be realized through capital
campaign. According to TCAR Co-Founder and Executive
Director Suzi Goldsmith, the new nearly 9,000-square-foot,
state-of-the-art Animal Rescue Center has been a dream for
more than seven years, and in development by TCAR board
leadership for 18 months. With input from staff and volunteers,
the center has been designed to boost TCAR’s ability to
expand quality intake services, including veterinary health
assessments and medical treatment, inoculations and grooming
only for animals that are rescued by TCAR. The center will
house an examination room, a treatment room, and isolation
facilities for rescues with contagious illnesses and conditions.
It is important to note that the facility is to be used only for
animals rescued by Tri County Animal Rescue, and not for
dogs or cats brought in by pet owners in the general public.
“If one of our dogs or cats is in need of medical care,
it will receive it at the new center if the level of care is
possible,” added Lewis-Mooney. “Once cleared medically,
and as disease-free and non-contagious, only then will it join
the other animals at the main facility for adoption.”
TCAR’s compassion for homeless animals has no
boundaries. “The dedicated Tri County Animal Rescue
staff, volunteers and advocates witness first-hand the rough,
lonesome road many furry paws have traveled to its doors, not
understanding why they’ve been abandoned or surrendered
by their owners,” added Lewis-Mooney. “These animals long
to be loved and yearn for acts of loving kindness. Their stories
and resilient spirits inspire us to help write a new chapter in
their lives, one with a happy ‘furever home’ ending!”
Successful rescue stories abound from TCAR. When
news hit of the Oklahoma EF5 tornadoes, Tri County deployed
five employees and two vans to the Moore, Oklahoma, area
that had 200 dogs/cats in various shelters to make room for
displaced animals from the tornado devastation. They brought
back 81 dogs and cats, and all but one has been adopted.
In March, Tri County partnered with the all-volunteer
Pilot for Paws organization to rescue and fly-in 18 abandoned
puppies and dogs from the Bahamas for medical care, and
then to find their “furever homes” in South Florida.
With more success stories to be written as capacity
and donations allow, the TCAR wish list includes:
“Adopt Not Shop” Commitment: Make TCAR the first
stop when considering a “forever” home for dogs and cats.
TCAR has plenty to choose from, including pedigrees that
are surrendered or saved from animal control facilities in

Inflation - the Retirement Fund Destroyer
I receive a fair amount of feedback from my readers in the form of mail, emails and phone calls. I love to
hear from all of you, as it gives me a gauge as to how my writing affects you, helps you, and sometimes just
makes you laugh! Last month I received a two page handwritten letter from a gentleman (let’s call him Mr.
C.- I was a big “Happy Days” fan…AAYYYY!). His letter brought me to an immediate stop, and after reading
it through 3 times, gave me reason to pause, pour a cup of tea, ponder his thoughts and admire the man
who wrote it for hours and days to come.

Ales For Anglers: Intense Fun Followed By
Intense Weather

Anglers Benefit From Day
Of Music And Brews
Snook & Gamefish Foundation
director Captain Danny Barrow
brings on the next band.
On Saturday, March 29, craft beer aficionados, Florida
music buffs and forward thinking anglers met on the sublime
lawns of Sunset Cove Amphitheater in west Boca to share
their collective passions while supporting a great cause, the
Snook & Gamefish Foundation’s Angler Action Program
(AAP). Even though severe weather forced an early closure
to the day, approximately 1,000 guests left with more than
they came with.
“The weather was actually perfect for most of the
afternoon – overcast and cool,” said David DeBedard,
representing the EPPY group – a new sponsor of the AAP.
“It was a great opportunity to come and visit with the kind
of people who appreciate the better things in life.”
The day kicked off with a very skilled home-brew
competition, with nine different brewing teams bringing up
to four styles of beer. The “people’s choice” contest was won
by the Florida Keys Brewing Company who plan to be deep
into commercial brewing at their new Islamorada location
by the end of this year.
Brown Distributing also featured several Florida brewers
who have already established themselves professionally.
Florida has one of the fastest growing craft beer communities,
and the Ales for Anglers event pulled local brewers like Due
South Brewing (Boynton), Tequesta Brewing Company
(Tequesta) and Funky Buddha Brewing (Boca) as well as
instate travelers like Mile Marker Brewing (St. Augustine),
Green Bench Brewing (St. Pete), and primary beer host Cigar
City Brewing (Tampa), who provided the lion’s share of their
fantastic flagship brews, both on tap and in cans.
Rock Brothers Brewing was on hand, bridging the gap
between beer and music with their two celebrity brews, Have
Gun, Will Travel’s award-winning High Road Ale and JJ
Grey’s Nare Sugar Brown, which debuted in cans at Ales
for Anglers. “SGF’s own JJ Grey came up with a fantastic
recipe, one of the richest, smoothest ales around,” says Rock
Brothers front man Kevin Lilly. “Even better – every Nare
Sugar purchased provides money to SGF. JJ and Cigar City
are donating a percentage of sales straight to the people who
are fighting for a better Florida. It’s a win-win for everyone.”
Guests were raving about the musical acts, which lead
off with Loxahatchee born Forrest Hoffar. He was followed
by Have Gun, Will Travel, who dropped a set that ramped
steadily from the first note to the last, until the whole crowd
was pushed against the stage waiting for more. Thomas Wynn
and the Believers were so excited they started their set 10
minutes early. The first rain delay of the day, which forced
a 25-minute set break, only seemed to feed their energy and
when they came back to the stage they completed the process
of winning over a brand new legion of fans. Headliners JJ
Grey & Mofro rushed the stage as fast as possible, hoping
to beat the pending weather to the punch. Four songs later,
the music had to be stopped due to the high winds, lightning
strikes, and standing water in the sound tent. Mother Nature’s
fury was almost as intense as JJ’s short set. While everyone
was pining for more, the general consensus among fans was
that nobody has packed so much entertainment into such a
short set, and the overwhelming sentiment from fans is one
of anticipation, waiting for next year so they can come back
for more.
With a consistent effort to bring awareness to Florida’s
fragile environment and what we might do to help protect
her, SGF kept a green profile throughout the day. From using
biodegradable plates and selling canned water instead of
plastic, to inviting 10 different sister NGOs who promote
Florida’s environment, Ales for anglers demonstrated that
fun, education and environmentally smart efforts do indeed
go hand in hand.

Hair’s The Story ...
Highlighting The Affects
And Solutions For Moderate
To Severe Hair Loss
By Cathy Phillips, L.C.
Owner of Hair Loss
Alternatives Inc.
There are a large variety of
hair loss alternatives available
for men and women. It can be
overwhelming and intimidating.
Nonsurgical hair replacements
and hair enhancements have
advanced dramatically over
the past 20 years. Visiting a
specialist with the knowledge
and expertise in the business is the key to a successful
transition into the hair you have yearned to get back.
Hair loss can happen to people of all ages. It can affect
men, women and children. Knowing more about what
causes hair loss and what alternatives are available when
it happens is half the battle. Having information empowers
you to make decisions before the hair loss becomes
extreme.
Many times hair loss can be the result of medications
such as those used for gout or blood pressure or commonly
prescribed beta blockers. Physical stress such as surgery,
extreme weight loss or even weight gain, or an illness such
as thyroid abnormalities can cause the follicle and hair to
go into an extended resting phase, and as we all know,
heredity also plays a large roll in whether or not you may
have thinning hair or a receding hair line.
Most men who are experiencing hair loss only have
a short window to do something about it before it
becomes worse. You want to make the transition without
others noticing that something is different. At Hair Loss
Alternatives we have creative ways of making it easier. One
of the illusions used with men is to have them grow facial
hair before they receive their new look. Then on the day
that the new style is scheduled, the client shaves the facial
hair off. Friends and family may notice something different
but will automatically assume it’s because you shaved
Before
After
your beard and/or mustache. Usually the next comment is
“Wow, you look much younger.” They don’t even realize
it’s the addition of the fuller head of hair that is giving you
the younger look. With such strong competition in today’s
workplace, there is no shame in making an investment in
maintaining a more youthful appearance.
For men and women making a decision to do something
about your hair loss can be nerve-racking, but remember
that you have everything to gain (including a natural looking
head of hair) and nothing to lose. Starting early makes the
transition much easier. Friends and family may even begin
to comment on how nice your hair looks, but won’t quite
know why.
Stop by Hair Loss Alternatives for your complimentary
consultation. The consultation is completely confidential
and will only take 30 minutes of your time. You will be
shown all the alternatives that are available to you. There
really is a solution for every hair loss situation.
I look forward to meeting new clients and giving them
the compassion they deserve and the confidence they
desire.

Impact 100 Palm Beach County Awards $320,000
To Local Nonprofits
It was an evening of big
impact on April 10 when
320 women gathered at
Lynn University’s Wold
Performing Arts Center
to award $320,000 to
five nonprofit groups in
southern Palm Beach
County. The event was
Impact 100 Palm Beach
County’s Grand Awards
Celebration, and guests E r i c k A n d e r s o n , J . D .
included women who had D i c k e n s o n , re p re s e n t i n g
made a $1,000 donation C o a s t a l C o n s e r v a t i o n
to become an annual Association’s Lake Worth
member. Those funds are Lagoon Water Quality Project
pooled every year to make
$100,000 grants to deserving charities in the categories of
education, environment, arts and culture, family and health and
wellness. Each of the finalist nonprofits had the opportunity to
describe their project, their vision and what the high-impact
grant would mean for their organization and the community.
After the presentations, Impact members voted and the three
with the most votes received a grant of $100,000 each.
Achievement Centers for Children and Families of
Delray Beach received the first $100,000 grant for their Pine
Grove After-School and Summer Program. This new program
will serve 150 elementary school students at Pine Grove
Elementary, a school with a high concentration of low-achieving
students living in poverty. The program will provide them with
affordable aftercare and summer programs combining academic,
cultural, recreational, social and leadership activities.
Florence Fuller Child Development Centers received the
LuAnn Warner Prokos, Laura Stoltz, Kim Nutter, Barbara Robinson
next $100,000 grant for their Family Preservation Program,
designed to counteract the cycle of poverty by providing an
integrated, comprehensive system of care for 500 family
members on-site at their two centers in Boca Raton. The
program includes family crisis intervention; case management,
information and referral; parenting skills development; group
and individual counseling for parents and children; job training;
a mentoring program; financial and nutrition education classes;
and healthy take-home family meals five days a week.
The final $100,000 grant recipient was The Creative City
Collaborative (CCC), also known as the Arts Garage, for their
Music and Theatre Education Program. This program will have
two components – Drumline and Theatre Education – and will
provide quality, no cost, sustained arts education for 1,000
disadvantaged children and youth in south Palm Beach County.
The other two finalist organizations, the Coastal Conservation
Association and the United Cerebral Palsy of Palm Beach and
Mid-Coastal counties each received a $10,000 grant.
“Our mission is to make an impact in our community and the
best way to do that is to grow our membership and also retain our
current members,” said Sue Diener, co-president of Impact 100
Palm Beach County. “We hope that when you join, you enjoy
the experience and return next year. We also encourage even

to see every nonprofit in southern Palm Beach County supply
their plan and have the opportunity to receive a grant.”
Impact 100 Palm Beach County is a charitable women’s
organization celebrating “The Power of Women Giving as One.”
Their goal is to make it possible for a visionary idea to become
a reality in a way that impacts the local community. The group
met their target of 300 members this year, allowing them to give
away three $100,000 grants. In their three-year-history, Impact
100 has awarded a total of $688,000 to organizations serving
south Palm Beach County. Next year, their goal is 400 members
and $400,000 in transformational grants.
Impact 100 is operated as a charitable fund at the community
foundation for Palm Beach and Martin counties. The foundation
also helps with the annual grant-making process.
All women who would like to be a part of this powerful
“giving circle” are warmly welcomed! To join, or to learn

South Florida Resident Named
Local Radio Show
Generating Big
Miss Teen National
Numbers For
Parkinson’s Disease
Awareness
“Parkinson’s Radio Hour” host Jeff Dowd, Stu Perlin,
executive director of the South Palm Beach County/
Treasure Coast Chapter of the NPF (National Parkinson’s
Foundation)
What started out just last October as a low profile,
special interest radio program airing between 8 and 9 a.m.
with only about 1,500 listeners has exploded into one of
the most popular local shows of its kind in this market. It’s
The Parkinson’s Radio Hour, which now airs in a much
more popular time slot between 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. with
about 50,000 listeners tuning in daily and over 30,000 hits
to the Web site. Heard on iHeart Radio’s WBZT, 1230 on
the AM dial, the show is dedicated to raising awareness
about the effects of Parkinson’s disease, research and the
available local resources for those in need. The founding
sponsor of the show is the South Palm Beach County/
Treasure Coast Chapter of the NPF (National Parkinson’s
Foundation) with Stuart Perlin, executive director,
working with the team.
Perlin said, “We wouldn’t be where we are without
our original team, Martin Sloan, Vicky Accordi, Lyn Cote
and, of course, the voice of our show, Jeff Dowd.”
Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative condition of the
central nervous system brought on by the death of cells
that produce dopamine, widely known as the chemical
that induces pleasure in the brain. However, the brain
has other dopamine systems, one of which is involved in
motor control. As dopamine-producing cells continue to
die off, the condition steadily worsens, eventually leading
to death. While there are medications to help alleviate
symptoms including tremors as well as speech, cognition
and mood disorders, there is no cure.
Under the board’s direction, the South Palm Beach
County/Treasure Coast chapter of the NPF is making
great strides, not only from a public awareness standpoint
and the extraordinary success of the radio show, but with
steady expansion, highlighted by the April first opening
of a new Palm Beach County location.
Perlin noted, “We’ve been very fortunate to get experts
from all over the country to contribute to the show. To date,
not one of these many highly respected professionals has
turned down our invitation to participate; testimony to
the importance of what we’re doing and the impressive
reach of our program. We also invite listeners to call in
for on-air discussions about how Parkinson’s has affected
them and their families and how our chapter has helped
improve their quality of life.”
As many as one million Americans (about 10 million
worldwide) have Parkinson’s disease, more than the
combined number of people diagnosed with multiple
sclerosis, muscular dystrophy and Lou Gehrig’s disease.
What’s more, about 60,000 Americans are diagnosed
each year, not counting the thousands of cases that go
undetected.
Perlin concluded, “Our chapter has raised and granted
more money than any other chapter of the NPF in the
country. We’ve also been able to set up a scholarship
program through the Palm Beach County school system.
We urge people to tune in to the show and learn more
about this disease, the many resources available to them
and how they can help.”

Kelsey Janser, a Boca Raton resident and freshman at
Vanderbilt University, was recently crowned 2013-14 Miss
Teen National winner at their pageant in Orlando. She
competed with 62 young women from across the United
States and won on the basis of a personal interview plus poise
and stage presence in casual wear and formal wear. Kelsey
previously held the title of 2012 Miss Teen West Palm Beach/
Fort Lauderdale.
The judges were especially impressed with Kelsey’s strong
academic record and her commitment to the community with
more than 1,000 hours of volunteer service. Kelsey’s major
community service projects include Joe DiMaggio Children’s
Hospital in Hollywood, Fla. where she started volunteering
after her own stay in the hospital. “I love going to visit the
children; I bring tiaras for all the little girls and stuffed toys
for the boys,” said Kelsey. She also established a chapter
at her high school for Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital’s
Conine Clubhouse where since 2010, she’s been raising
funds and collecting items for the home away from home for
families whose children are being treated at Joe DiMaggio
Children’s Hospital. In addition, she taught children each
weekend at Spanish River Church and spent her summers
volunteering in the Boca Raton Public Library. She also
started an organization called “Feral Friends,” in which feral
cats are trapped to be spayed or neutered. She has worked
with local vet clinics to assure that these wild cats are healthy
before returning them to their colony.
“I am incredibly
blessed to represent an
organization that is
truly a ‘pageant with a
purpose,’” says Kelsey.
“Until my senior year
in high school, I had
never even thought
of participating in a
pageant. I hope to inspire
others to try new things,
challenge themselves,
be passionate about
doing their best
and help make our
community a better
place.”
A C o r n e l i u s Kelsey Janser
Vanderbilt scholar,
Kelsey is majoring in cognitive studies and is the host for
Vandy TV’s Battle Bands. As the Miss Teen National winner,
Kelsey will be making appearances as she continues her
community service in Florida and around the country. Kelsey
is a Cum Laude graduate of St. Andrew’s School in Boca
Raton where she completed the International Baccalaureate
Diploma Program. Her prize package includes a Caribbean
cruise for two and a $10,000 cash scholarship.

“When you are not living
and loving, you are dying.”
--52 year old male client, a
physician
If you are reading this
column, then it is likely that
you are a home-owner or a
business person living in an
established community. You
may be single, divorced, or widowed, and chances are...
over the age of 35. It’s hard to get to a “certain age” and
not experience a relationship challenge or break-up. As the
song says, “Breaking up is hard to do.” Yet, when it’s all
said and done, a break-up can actually turn out to be one of
the most positive experiences of your life.
Here are some observations and answers to questions that
I have received over the course of my 23 years as the Florida
Matchmaker.
“How long does it take to get over a relationship?”
There is no magic number. In my opinion, the grieving
period for a relationship that has ended doesn’t actually
start the day it ends, it begins the day you know it is
going to end. For example, couples that stayed together
twenty years “for the children” usually hit the dating circuit
soon after splitting. After all, they have been in a “time out”
while married many years. Then there are couples where
one partner has no idea the other is unhappy, and one day
it’s suddenly OVER. For these individuals, the person who
had no idea often suffers more and longer.
“I feel sorry for the person I am breaking up with
and can’t hurt them. What should I do?” Be true. It does
you no good to stay in a loveless relationship, nor does it
do the other person any good. You are living a false life and

holding them back, as well as yourself. Don’t sacrifice your
years and theirs if you are not happy. Let it go and let them
go. There is a better fit for both of you out there.
“What if I can’t find someone to love me again in
this wild world?” The sooner you move on the better. Side
with LOVE, which is opposite of FEAR. Be your own best
friend...and go...cut it clean and move on. There are plenty
of fish in the sea...go out and start your own revolution of
love.
On this note, break-ups aren’t restricted to romantic
relationships and can involve many types of changes (from
switching jobs to trying a new hairstyle to moving to a new
home). If a situation, person, place or thing is NO LONGER
WORKING FOR YOU, then it is time to go. You owe it to
yourself, your children, and friends to follow your dreams.
Take a leap of faith! Be the change and the Universe will
love you for it. My words are tried true and tested...and as a
result, my clients, family, and team are experiencing more
love, peace and laughter then ever before. We invite you to
join us and start the Summer of Love 2014 right, with a great
person in your corner!

What best describes you? The kids have left the nest to
feather their own. Or, you’re weary from climbing stairs.
Maybe you’re tired of constant maintenance, either doing it
or making sure it gets done. And last, but certainly not least,
maybe it’s that you simply no longer need the formal dining
room that seats 20, the library with a ladder on wheels, the
sitting room in the master suite that no one actually sits
in, the gift wrapping room, the gift unwrapping room, the
bowling alley in the basement or bedrooms six, seven and
eight! Bottom line, you still want the good life, but one where
less is more. Now imagine adding a view of the ocean to the
mix. Now that’s an upside!
Just because you’re looking to downsize, simplify your
life and even add a new and exciting chapter doesn’t mean
you have to give up the elegant lifestyle you love or the space
you need. Quite the opposite. Today’s luxury condominiums,
especially those with the world-class distinction of an
oceanfront location, are not only on a par with upscale singlefamily living, they can actually be a step up.
Consider this – you’re ready to head north for the summer.
All you do is pack your bags, put the defrosted chicken in
the freezer, forward your mail and close the door behind
you, lock-n-leave. That in itself is an upside of immeasurable
proportions. Being “seasonal” has never been easier. Next
scenario – you’re retired and ready to either run barefoot in
the sand or kick up your heels in a balcony chaise to bask
in the ocean breeze and soak in the view. Then there’s the
couple who wants a retreat as an “addition to” rather than an
“instead of.” They want to continue maintaining the larger
home while being able to enjoy an alternative, simpler, more
carefree lifestyle – be it for a weekend, a week or months at
a time.
Speaking of which, we had a couple that loved their
sprawling, custom home and its more suburban location out
in Weston. But, they wanted a getaway that they could come
to at the drop of a hat, on the ocean, without giving up that
relaxed pace they have come to enjoy. That’s where we came
in. Just a short drive due east put them in Hillsboro Beach,
an intimate, prestigious “seaside village” setting – quiet,
peaceful, relaxed and very private. At the same time, it is
so close to everything they want and need, they can walk or
bike. Plus, with up to 3,000 square feet in our residences,
they had all the space they needed without the excess. Talk
about the best of all worlds.
So, whether you’re adding to your list of exceptional
residences or trading one beautiful lifestyle for another, the
upsides of downsizing are countless.

What Women Should Know About Stroke
There are a few things that women should know about
stroke. More women than men suffer from strokes each
year, 425,000 compared to 370,000. Strokes kill twice as
many women each year as breast cancer. African-American
women have more strokes than Caucasian women, and
stroke is the number one cause of death for Hispanic
women.
As a certified primary stroke center, West Boca Medical
Center’s medical staff works around the clock to respond
when a patient with stroke symptoms arrives at the hospital.
They assess each patient and provide comprehensive care
involving proven treatment methods.
“We have a highly skilled team of emergency room
physicians and neurologists,” said Dr. Radha Vallabhaneni,
medical director of the primary stroke center at West
Boca Medical Center. “We are constantly improving our
acute stroke management and working on immediate
interventions.”
The advanced technology at the stroke center includes
a 64-slice CT scanner, which creates high-resolution
anatomical images with remarkable speed. The scanner
is capable of performing a full body scan in about 30
seconds, which is critical in the case of a stroke where
time is of the essence. Additionally, West Boca Medical
Center’s extensive neurological rehabilitation services
include physical therapy, speech/swallowing therapy and
psychology and are available as part of a stroke patient’s
recovery care. The goal of rehab is not only to increase a
patient’s chance of survival, but also to reduce his or her
risk of disability and foster a full recovery.
Because stroke affects so many women, it is important
to be familiar with the signs of stroke and seek medical
help quickly. Women and men experience many of the same
symptoms, including sudden numbness or weakness of face,
arm or leg, confusion, difficulty speaking, problems with
vision, loss of balance or coordination, trouble walking or
severe headache for no known cause. Other telltale signs of
a stroke that are unique in women include the rapid onset
of hiccups, nausea, fatigue, chest pain, face and limb pain,
shortness of breath or heart palpitations.
Both women and men share many of the same risk
factors for stroke. While a person of any age can have a
stroke, risk does increase with age. In fact, the chances of
having a stroke double for every 10 years after the age of
55. Other risk factors include a family history of stroke,
high blood pressure or cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, being
overweight and not exercising.
Women also have some exclusive risk factors that could
raise their chance of having a stroke. These include:
• Taking birth control pills
• Experiencing natural changes in the body during
pregnancy that increase blood pressure and put stress on
the heart
• Using hormone replacement therapy to relieve
symptoms of menopause
• Being postmenopausal and having a waist that is larger
than 35.2 inches and a triglyceride level higher than 128
milligrams per liter
• Suffering from migraine headaches
Women can take an active role in preventing strokes by
monitoring their blood pressure, not smoking, getting tested
for diabetes, knowing their cholesterol and triglyceride
levels, limiting alcohol and maintaining a healthy weight.
Taking birth control pills is generally considered to be safe
for young, healthy women. However, they can raise the risk
of stroke for some women who are over 35, smoke, have
diabetes and high blood pressure or cholesterol.
If a stroke occurs, seek medical attention immediately.
Strokes caused by blood clots, which are called ischemic
strokes and are the most common type, can be treated with
clot-busting drugs such as tissue plasminogen activator
(tPA). But in order to be effective, the medication must
be administered within three hours of the initial onset of
symptoms.
“At West Boca, our goal is to give TPA infusions
to eligible candidates within an hour or less,” said
Vallabhaneni. “We have excellent backup from our
interventional neuroradiologists if further invasive
treatments are felt to be beneficial to patients.”
Anticoagulants, such as warfarin and antiplatelet
drugs, such as aspirin, may be prescribed to help prevent a
stroke in people who are high risk. In other cases, surgery
may be recommended to treat or prevent stroke. Carotid
endarterectomy can be performed to remove fatty deposits
that clog the carotid artery in the neck. If a person does have
a stroke, rehabilitation can help rebuild strength, capability
and confidence to continue daily activities.

stroke center at West Boca Medical Center, visit www.

Think A Window Can Protect You From The Sun’s
Damaging Rays? Think Again ...
Written by Robyn Siperstein, M.D.
Not all sun exposure is at the beach or having fun
outside, you may be getting most of your sun damage
when you don’t even realize it – when you are in your car.
In cars, windshields are laminated and filter out UVA but
side windows are not, therefore, patients in the United
States have more sun damage on their left side due to UVA
radiation penetrating through the driver-side car window.
In countries where the driver side is on the right, people
develop more sun damage, skin pre-cancers, and skin
cancers on the right. The UV exposure is cumulative and
skin exposed to light through a window either in a car or
at home or in the office leads to significant damage.
The photograph on the left is a picture of a 69-year-old
retired delivery truck driver with severe damage on the left
side of his face from ultraviolet rays that came through
the window of his truck that he had driven for 28 years.
The photograph on the right is from a woman who worked
next to a window on her left side for 15 years. Even though
she worked inside, Ultraviolet A (UVA) rays transmit
through window
glass, penetrating the
upper layers of the
skin. Most people do
not realize they can
get damage through
the glass windows
since UVB rays which
cause a sunburn can
not penetrate through
window glass, however
UVA rays can, and UVA
Rays not only cause
wrinkles, but also
skin cancers. Llumar,
FormulaOne, and 3M
are just a few companies that make clear or tinted UV
blocking films for car or house windows. You can simply
ask your car dealership to add this film on your next
service.

Geriatric Fellowship Program With Model
Senior Citizen Home For The Aged Needed
By Steven E. Reznick,
M.D., FACP – Boca Raton
I have practiced general
internal medicine and
geriatric medicine in the
South Palm Beach County
area since 1979. I have seen
the growth of the medical
community from a sleepy
seasonal coastal distribution
of hospitals east of I-95
to a sprawling plethora of
corporate and not-for-profit facilities sprouting in areas of
population growth. While cardiac, stroke and trauma centers
have evolved to meet the needs of the community; there has
been no development of state-of-the-art care for our aging
and infirm seniors.
Yes, there are many skilled nursing facilities in the area
receiving patients from local hospitals following an acute
illness or injury and attempting to rehabilitate the patients
so they can eventually resume their lives. These facilities are
paid primarily with Medicare funds if the patient has spent
three nights in the hospital. The staffs of these facilities are
numbered based on federal and state requirements. It is not
unusual to see one registered or licensed practical nurse with
a patient load of 20 or more patients. The nurses are assisted
by aides, many of whom are paid minimal wages and who
lack the language and training skills to recognize changes in
their patients’ health conditions until those conditions have
advanced to a critical level. They are not able to care for
many of the simple day to day medical emergencies that we
deal with at home on a daily basis such as cuts and abrasions,
simple upper respiratory tract or gastrointestinal infections.
Their mantra is “call 911 and send them to the ER while we
copy the chart for transfer.” They are doing what they are
told to do by administration and legal counsel and, frankly;
their training and staffing does not allow them to do much
else even if their hearts and souls feel differently.
We need the FAU Charles Schmidt College of Medicine
or the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine or
Nova Southeastern School of Medicine to partner with the
Lynn School of Nursing at FAU and organize a geriatric
fellowship program in medicine, nursing and care giving.
The program would be taught at a model senior geriatric
care center staffed by medical students, interns, residents,
fellows in geriatrics, nursing students and graduate nursing
students plus appropriate representatives of the other allied
health supportive fields such as physical, occupational and
speech therapy, nutrition and dietary and social services.
Funding would come from philanthropic donors, federal and
state grants, Medicare and Medicaid funds. The goal would
be to train caregivers to go out into the community and raise
the bar and standard of care available to our senior citizens
requiring acute rehabilitation or chronic custodial care while
providing a local example of how excellent care can really

Zahav award winners were displayed at the JCCs of North
America Biennial in San Diego. They represent an impressive
group of ideas in programming, service, operations and
marketing.
The challenges JCCs face today have never been greater, and
it has never been more important for JCCs to function at their
best. “With these challenges in mind, we redesigned the awards
to mirror the proven paths to excellence revealed by our JCC
Benchmarking process,” said Robin Ballin, JCC Association
senior vice president of marketing and communications.
These new standards led to a more focused, stronger
group of entries and more selective judging. Of 269
submissions from 75 JCCs, 71 won Zahav Awards, given
for outstanding visionary initiatives, and 118 were awarded
Kol Ha Kavod Awards, given for exemplary initiatives that
can be replicated.
The Levis JCC’s marketing group (Jennifer Giacone,
director of marketing and PR; Stacy Mathrani, creative director
and Natalie Grobler, marketing associate) spearheaded the
rebranding effort that earned the award. Marianne Jacobs,
director of the Levis JCC’s Helene and Roy Schwedelson
Special Needs Programs, with the support of past volunteer
chairs Emily Grabelsly and Janet Elinoff, created and
implemented the outstanding Fit & Fun Sports Program.

Ask Dr. G …
Why Is Your Hospice’s Slogan
‘Live Every Day To The Fullest?’
(Reader Submitted)
People sometimes ask me
if hospice care is depressing.
In fact, it’s quite the opposite: I
am so honored to witness lives
that have truly come alive.
As a physician at Hospice
of Palm Beach County
and Broward County, I am
amazed by the fearlessness
of our patients, as they live
and embrace each day. It’s
something we all could learn, no matter where we are in life.
When patients and families come to us, they are often
managing multiple appointments with multiple specialists.
The last things on their mind are smelling the roses or sand
between their toes. Hospice care lifts some of the stress so
families can refocus on each other.
I had a patient who was homebound and wanted to take a trip
with his son to Disney World. We taught him how to administer
his medication and contacted a hospice in Orlando in case he
needed help. The logistics, however, aren’t what made this trip
possible. The chance to have a hospice team behind him made
him the “pilot,” where he could imagine new possibilities.
I had another patient who was near death, but wanted to
drink a beer and watch a baseball game. Our doctors and
nurses were able to adjust his medication so his body could
handle the excitement. He was able to enjoy that time with
friends and family, one of life’s simple pleasures.
What would you do if you knew you had six months to live?
I believe there are two options: you can either succumb to fear,
doing everything possible to delay it, or you can focus on living
each day to the fullest. The latter is much easier said than done.
When you’re faced with a serious illness you forget about the
life that happens between appointments. The biggest lesson my
patients have taught me is to make every day special.
The ultimate example is the patient in an assisted living
facility who had cancer. When she was admitted into hospice
care, she decided to have a party celebrating her life. She
asked all of her friends and family to come and share the
wonderful things they had to say about her, reminisce about
the good times and plan more time to share their love.
“Hospice” is simply this: a team of professionals who help
patients determine their own care and experiences. We have
doctors and nurses who help alleviate the pain and symptoms
our patients face. Integrative therapists provide massage,
music and aromatherapy to ease the discomfort as well. Social
workers come in and help patients with whatever they want
to resolve before they pass. Volunteers provide respite for
caregivers. Our goal is to lift the burden off of families so that
they can turn their attention to living and loving.
Many days I think to myself, “I couldn’t ask for a better
teacher than the patients I serve.” Hopefully their journeys
will serve to inspire your story as well.

Three P.M. Alarm
By Tina K. VaLant
I patiently await a friend at a coffee shop in Palm Beach
Gardens. As mid-afternoon patrons buzz in and out, I
eavesdrop on creative beverage requests. My friend appears,
orders and we begin catching up. Next to us, a phone alarm
reminds “vanilla soy latte’ lady” of something. She silences
her phone and closes her eyes.
About a week later, I’m at a traffic light, in Boca. It’s sunny
with a crisp breeze, my windows are down. A phone sounds,
from the blue car next to me. It’s 3 p.m. He motions, asking to
be let in. He pulls in to the parking lot, at the bank where I’m
headed, turns the car off and sits there. By the time I finish at
the drive-thru, he’s gone.
I had almost forgotten about the 3 p.m. phenomenon. Until
perusing produce at the grocery store, I hear an alarm chime. You
guessed – it’s 3 p.m. The couple left their cart and went outside.
I’ll Google it tonight, I tell myself. I didn’t find anything.
The following weekend, in Boca Raton, I’m at a yoga
retreat, presented by Wendi Blum and Leslie Glickstein at
Yoga Journey. I was about to receive an unexpected bonus.
In between Saturday’s speakers and yoga practice, Wendi
unveiled the mystery that had been dogging me for weeks.
“Years ago, I was listening to Marianne Williamson, on
XM Radio. It was 3 p.m., she was addressing forgiveness. I
got to thinking of the heavy burden we carry by harboring
resentment or the feelings associated when others have
mistreated us.” Dr. Deborah Brown, clinical psychologist
agrees, “Anger can be emotionally and physically harmful,
when it remains stuck inside us, unmoving and unresolved.
These feelings can lead to revenge or violence. The only way
I know to release long-held anger is forgiveness.”
Forgiveness is not always easy. At times, it feels more
painful than the wound we suffered, to forgive the one that
inflicted it. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness. –
Marianne Williamson
You might forgive the person who just cut you off in traffic,
resentment from a co-worker, or the cause of a painful childhood
experience. The person doesn’t have to know you forgave them.
They may no longer be a part of your life, or may have passed on.
“Forgiveness does not absolve others of their own wrongdoing.
Forgiving is a powerful step toward your own peace of mind,
not a passive surrender,” added Brown. Forgiving allows past

bad feelings to drift away from you, like white billowy clouds.
All major religious traditions carry basically the same
message (love, compassion and forgiveness). The important
thing is to make them part of our daily lives. – Dalai Lama
“Three o’clock made perfect sense, for my daily reminder,”
stated Blum. “I shared this philosophy during yoga teacher
training at Yoga Journey Studio, in Boca. As a group, we
decided to share in the daily ritual, and expand it within our
own classes.” Devoting a few daily moments to forgiveness
can be extremely liberating. “I found that by being mindful
and releasing feelings of anger, hurt, or resentment, I created
a space to welcome better things to my life.”
Often, as Wendi is addressing a group as a strategy-coach or
during presentation, not only does her alarm sound at 3 p.m., but
it has company. This makes her smile. She estimates a couple
thousand people now share this practice. It continues to grow
by word of mouth, social media, and a dedicated Web site.
The practice of forgiveness is our most important
contribution to the healing of the world. – Marianne Williamson
“The goal with this movement is to achieve peace on
Earth, by forgiving others and also ourselves. Peace begins
within each of us,” stated Blum. If this resonates with you,
adapt this routine to your daily life, and notice what happens.
It will positively change your life.”
When you forgive, you in no way change the past – but
you sure do change the future. – Bernard Meltzer
“Depending upon the level of emotion surrounding your
feelings, it may take days, months, or even a year to reach a
place of acceptance. But know when this happens, miracles
will follow. It all begins with forgiveness,” added Blum.
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute
of the strong. – Mahatma Gandhi
The weekend of the yoga retreat, I set my mobile phone
with a special daily chime for 3 p.m. The first few times
were easy. My spouse had recycled something irreplaceable
(confession: he was on my 3 p.m. radar for days). I have
forgiven those who haven’t treated me the way I felt I
deserved to be treated. Many times, I am the subject of my
own 3 p.m. moment. It is nice to take a mindful moment to
forgive. It feels good for my heart and for my head.
To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the
prisoner was you. – Lewis B. Smedes
I got to thinking how 143 translates to I Love You (one
letter, four letters, three letters). According to Wikipedia, not
only is 176 an “angelic number;” I translate it to I Forgive
Myself, or I Forgive Others. So the next time you’re out and
you hear an alarm (maybe it’s yours?) at 3 p.m. or see 176;
know that you are a part of a powerful, positive movement
toward peace – your own, and the world surrounding you.
You are invited to set your daily alarm at 3 p.m., visit and
share forgiveness at www. 4giveat3.com or on FaceBook
at 4giveat3.

rules. Style-setters did not disappoint on the opening day
of the U.S. Open Polo Championship, with head-turning
ensembles that went from casual chic to over-the-top glam.
