Visions of Delray: Planning for the future of the city

By Tara Monks The Pineapple Staff Writer

On March 23, 2013, the Delray Beach City Commission hosted 125 participants at the Delray Beach Marriot Hotel for Vision 2020: Future with History, a day-long strategy meeting in which Delray Beach residents explore, record and prioritize the community’s desires. Like past Vision processes, the 2013 event was aimed at creating the community’s ‘wish list’ for the City to implement, and laying out a pathway to achieve the next level of success with the engagement of the community.

The committee was appointed by the City Commission to set up the framework that will be followed by all policy makers, lawmakers and city planners for the next seven years.

According to Vision 2020 participants, the experience was “needed,” “worthwhile,” “engaging,” and “motivating.”

Delray Beach’s Vision process dates back more than twenty years, and its use of resident collaboration has been responsible for the city’s unique vision, which has continually integrated current challenges with opportunities.

The successes of previous Vision projects can be seen in Delray Beach’s thriving downtown and expanding cityscape.

Visions 2000: Where Are We Now?, held in 1989, supported the city’s proposed $21 million bond that Continued on page 6

CITY’S MUNICIPAL BEACH NAMED AS ONE OF AMERICA’S BEST RESTORED BEACHES DELRAY BEACH, FL – From childhood building sandcastles, to adolescent walks on the beach, to adults enjoying family time, America’s beaches are synonymous with celebrating summer. With the beginning of the summer beach season a few days away, The City of Delray Beach is proud to announce that our municipal beach has been selected to receive the 2013 Best Restored Beach Award from the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association (ASBPA). This prestigious honor was provided due to the City’s commitment to protecting our World Class Beach.

Today, Delray Beach is known throughout the United States as a desirable beach destination, making it an important economic asset to the City, Palm Beach County and the state of Florida. However, at one time, our beach, roadways and surrounding properties were at risk of being overtaken by the ocean. Beginning with the initial beach nourishment in 1973, the City’s beach has made a major comeback and is now considered as one of America’s best restored beaches.

Further, this restoration of our beach, which included a widened beach and dune restoration, has provided enhanced safety protections and sustainability for State Road A1A and neighboring residential and commercial properties.

Since 1973, the beach has undergone five (5) renourishment projects and one storm damage repair project in 2005 (not including the City’s most current renourishment project, which includes repairs resulting from Hurricane Sandy). Delray’s beach continues to provide storm protection for the upland roads and buildings, recreational beach areas for both residents and tourists and the environmental habitat for nesting sea turtles and shorebirds. The City’s municipal beach has performed better with every project and, according to the ASBPA, is the “quintessential example of a beach nourishment success story.”

“ASBPA created the Best Restored Beach award in 2001 as a way of highlighting the value of America’s restored beaches,” said Harry Simmons, mayor of Caswell Beach, N.C., and ASBPA president. “As Americans flock to our coastline during the upcoming beach season, most don’t even realize they may be enjoying a restored beach.”

For a complete list of award-winning beaches as well as to learn about beach restoration, visit www.asbpa.org. Also, for additional information regarding the City’s renourishment efforts, you can contact Paul Dorling, Planning & Zoning Director, at 561.243.7041 or dorlingp@mydelraybeach.com.

Teams needed for Seek In City Scavenger Hunt

Sponsors and business clue stops also needed for June 22nd event DELRAY BEACH, FL – In only its 2nd year, the Seek in the City Scavenger Hunt is already buzzing around Delray Beach with Seekers strategizing on how to maximize time and efforts to locate Clue Stops. The NonProfit Council of the Greater Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce created the event that occurs Saturday, June 22nd, from 2 - 7pm, and run through Chamber Charities, a 501(c) 3 organization. The event aims to increase traffic and awareness to Delray Beach businesses in the summer, raise money for participating charities, and offers a chance to win prizes in a fun, community-wide event. There are several ways to be involved in Seek in the City: Become a Seeker, a Sponsor, or a Clue Stop.

In June 2012, the inaugural event raised close to $8,000, which was dispersed equally to the ten selected charities.

These funds went to such causes as Adopted-Orphan Care Ministry, Campaign for Grade Level Reading, youth sports scholarships, Children’s Art classes, classroom supplies at the Family Literacy Academies, Continued on page 6

n honor of EMS week Delray Beach FireRescue honored two first responders for their efforts on a call on April 12th at the commission meeting on Tuesday, May 21st. Jude and Rachel Diaz demonstrated exceptional effort and went truly above and beyond in their efforts on a critical call on I-95.

The Diaz family witnessed a motor vehicle drive off the road and come to a stop against a fence hundreds of feet from the roadway. The family stopped to render aid and ended up performing CPR as well as assisting DBFR crews in the treatment and movement of the patient to the transport Medic Unit.

Their actions on this call were truly

amazing and improved the quality of care for the patient. For their efforts, Jude, Rachel, and Chesna Diaz were given the Life Saving Award from Delray Beach Fire-Rescue. This award is the highest award possible for a civilian from Delray Beach Fire-Rescue. DBFR would like to invite all media to cover this event, showing the importance of first responders in the EMS Chain of Survival.

Public notice to water system customers of City of Delray Beach

To ensure that the City’s drinking water remains safe and compliant with all State and Federal water quality requirements, the City is required to implement preventive measures that are safe and approved by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). As a result, the City is preparing to begin its water distribution line enhanced disinfection program on Thursday, May 30, 2013 and will continue through Thursday, June 6, 2013.

The City’s routine maintenance program will include a “system burn” which utilizes free chlorine as the primary disinfectant. During this preventive maintenance activity, water customers may notice an increased chlorine odor and taste in their tap water. This is a normal occurrence and will cause no adverse health effects.

During this time period, customers with special needs should be aware of potential problems with their equipment and systems (e.g., kidney dialysis machines). In addition, owners of tropical fish aquariums and holding tanks for fish and shellfish (i.e., stores and restaurants) should be aware that this temporary change in our disinfection process may be toxic to aquatic life if not properly addressed. Any such side effects will diminish when the City reverts to the normal disinfection method on June 6, 2013. Users are encouraged to contact an appropriate professional for guidance on how to use their equipment during this period.

The City will also flush fire hydrants during this period as part of the enhanced disinfection procedure. Customers may notice flowing water in streets and swales, localized lower water pressures and a slight discoloration of their tap water. This is a safe and normal occurrence during this process and will cause no adverse health effects.

If you notice flushing activities in your immediate area, please refrain from using laundry machines until activities have ceased.

Please be assured that this is a routine preventive maintenance procedure. The City’s public drinking water remains safe and compliant with all State and Federal requirements for primary water quality. If you would like additional information, please contact the City of Delray Beach Public Utilities Department at (561) 243-7312 between 7:00 am and 3:30 pm - Monday through Friday or visit the City’s website at www.mydelraybeach.com.

St. Paul’s Reverend Stokes named as new bishop of Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey

The Reverend Canon William “Chip” H. Stokes, rector of St. Paul’s Church in Delray Beach, Florida, has been elected as the twelfth bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey, pending the ratification of his election by a majority of bishops in the Episcopal Church.

Stokes, 56, was selected today, from a field of nine nominees. He was elected on the fifth ballot at an election convention at Trinity Cathedral in Trenton.

“I am humbled beyond expression and deeply honored to have been elected as the twelfth Bishop of New Jersey,” Stokes said in a prepared statement. “I am grateful to the people of the diocese for their confidence, support and prayers. I am grateful above all to God in Christ who has called me and walked with me throughout my journey.”

Stokes said the diversity of the Diocese of New Jersey is one of its great strengths.

“The Diocese of New Jersey is a part of the deep history of the Episcopal Church.

It is an overwhelming thing to be brought into that history through this election. The Diocese is made up of a rich and wonderful variety of people,” he said. “The people of the diocese understand well the very real challenges that face the church today. My experience of the clergy and lay people of the diocese is that they are faithful, hopeful and up to any challenges.”

HIGHWAY 1 PROJECT - continued from page 1

was adopted by the City Commission in 2002, and will contribute to a safer corridor for pedestrians, bicycles and other vehicles. In addition, it is expected to create jobs, promote economic activity along Federal Highway and provide alternative transit opportunities (i.e., downtown trolley and countywide public bus system, biking, walking, etc.).

Motorists are advised to use caution and expect delays when traveling through this area until project completion (estimated summer of 2015).

The South Federal Highway/US1 Beautification Project will reduce the number of through lanes from three (3) lanes to two (2) lanes in each direction. The project will also construct wider sidewalks and install decorative street lights within the first two (2) blocks (north and south) of Atlantic Avenue. In addition to bicycle lanes and landscaping being provided throughout the entire project, various intersection signal improvements/upgrades will be made, including those located at: • Southbound Federal Hwy and SE 1st St. • Southbound Federal Hwy and East Atlantic Avenue • Southbound Federal Hwy and NE 1st St. This project will also include the conversion of the signalized intersections at SE 1st Street and northbound/ southbound Federal Highway to accommodate two-way traffic on SE 1st Street. At the completion of the Beautification Project, SE 1st Street, from SE 1st Avenue to northbound Federal Highway, will be converted to a two-way street. The remainder of this roadway will be converted to accommodate twoway traffic at a later date.

Access to all businesses will be maintained throughout the duration of this project. The City will work with the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and the local businesses to ensure customer access is properly identified, as needed.

For more information, contact Randal Krejcarek, City Engineer, at (561) 243-7322 or by E-mail Krejcarek@mydelraybeach.com.

Water Safety Day at Pompey Park

The City of Delray Beach invites all children, families and residents to participate in Water Safety Day on Saturday, June 8th, from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, at Pompey Park Pool, 1101 NW 2nd Street. As part of Fire-Rescue’s “Keep Our Kids Safe Around Water” campaign, this free event is intended to educate parents and children on safety measures in and around water. The public is invited to bring swimsuits and towels and participate in the various activities that are scheduled throughout the day.

Delray Beach Fire-Rescue’s “Keep Our Kids Safe Around Water” campaign was created as a result of the alarming number of drowning/near drowning incidents involving young children that occur each year in Palm Beach County. The goal of the campaign is to educate the public on ways to prevent unintentional drowning and near drowning.

It should be noted that according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), fatal drowning remains the second-

leading cause of unintentional injury-related death for children ages 1 to 14 years. In an effort to help prevent these types of incidents from happening, Water Safety Day will feature hands-on aquatic skills including lessons on how to float and the proper use of life jackets in deep water. Certified lifeguards will oversee all water activities.

We’re delighted to be a part of this exciting Delray Beach event.”

paid for a “Decade of Excellence,” a program aimed at revitalizing city infrastructure.

Investments funded a significant repair and upgrade to the city’s water and sewer systems, streets, drainage, parks and fire stations. Funds also went to the complete reconstruction of the streetscape; the preservation and reuse of Old School Square as a museum, community center and theater; and the renovation of the Municipal Tennis Center and addition of a tennis stadium.

While Vision 2000 addressed mainly tangible issues, such as infrastructure and resurfacing, it also labeled the school system as the most important priority in Delray Beach’s future. The project resulted in the citywide plan to add two schools to the district and slash the number of attendance zones in the city by half, a measure that calmed neighborhood rivalries and instilled fellowship.

Visions 2005, held in 1993, addressed societal issues more than the tangible, and focused on seven main topics: youth involvement; neighborhood revitalization; economic development; crime prevention; public education/public schools; government coordination/involvement; and human relations.

Catapulted by the goals of the meeting, the city added music, drama and arts and crafts to its after-school programs, and introduced programs such as tennis and golf to disadvantaged children. The Teen 505 Center was established for youth between the ages of 12 and 18.

The Downtown Development Authority created “Jazz on the Ave” to increase the number of potential customers to downtown and the city partnered with the Community Child Care Center to offer life skills courses such as parenting skills and job readiness. Booster clubs, the Delray Beach Youth Council, the Coalition for Community Renewal and Pineapple Grove were also grown of the Visions 2005 seeds.

Just as Visions 2005 produced many ideas and implemented many programs for the development and success of Delray Beach, the most recent endeavor, Vision 2020: Future with History, is slated to create equally beneficial programs and results.

For more information on previous Visions programs, visit www.mydelraybeach. com, as well as www.pineapplenewspaper. com, where this article is expanded.

Next month’s installment will cover the most recent Visions meeting, introducing some of the people behind the plan as well as what the plan entails.

Tomorrows Promise students Antwan Smith, Desmen Moore, Sumaya Hossain, and Terrinique Banner with teachers John Baldriche and Terri Robinson.

“Another beautiful experience” at Tomorrows Promise School

Nearly 100 guests gathered for the second annual fundraiser for Tomorrows Promise Community School on April 19th, 2013. “Another beautiful experience” was the comment most heard as the fundraiser showcased this years’ ambitious goal to build a digital hub so that Tomorrow’s Promise, in operation since 2002, can offer a hybrid approach to learning in addition to their current direct instruction model. This addition enables students the option to attain a traditional Standard High School Diploma instead of the current Performance Based High School Diploma.

Tomorrow’s Promise is dedicated to giving high risk students from the toughest environments a second, and sometimes last, chance to succeed; incorporating this new blended model would allow students even greater opportunities as they continue along their journeys. If you were lucky enough to meet and chat with any of the students in attendance, Antwan, Desmen, RD, Terrinique or Sumaya, you could not help being moved by their stories and their sincere appreciation for this opportunity.

collection of Tomorrow’s Promise, created by graduate RD, who offered his production skills to two lucky auction bidders. Community sponsors provided several other inspiring auctions items including a Delray Beach Package of dinners and events generously donated by local restaurants and partners.

The Rotary Club’s own Neil Saffer, professional auctioneer extraordinaire and a Board Member of Tomorrow’s Promise, artfully ran a spirited auction of the donated items. Guests responded to the evenings cash call with open hearts after a moving presentation by Principal Marjorie Waldo.

This followed by personal, moving stories from Antwan, and RD. The evening was a great success raising over $60,000.

In attendance was founder and Delray Beach Police officer Fred Glass, and his wife Nancy, along with Maya and Jahq, the children of deceased founder Johnny Pun. It was lovely to recognize their legacy, and the hard work by Waldo, her educators, her staff, and the board for their boundless passion and vision for the school.

If you are interested in finding out more information about Tomorrow’s Promise or in touring the school, please contact Waldo at 561266-2206 or by email at mwaldo@dyvcs.com.

Salvatore Principe’s Hearts

Art collectors internationally know Salvatore Principe’s hearts collections, thousands of hearts in every size and color – collaged hearts, floating hearts, and gilded hearts. Principe graciously opened his studio and donated several of his inspired hearts to help this amazing Charter School. The message of “all heart” was not lost on anyone attending. In kind, Principe is continually donating pieces for charitable auctions.

Principe‘s steadfast dedication to make a difference in people’s lives, meshes well with that of the Rotary Club of Boca Raton, a key sponsor and community partner whose motto is “changing lives and building futures.” A dedicated Board of Directors and fundraising committee members, all volunteer heroes for the students, orchestrated the event.

Guests admired Principe’s artwork and sampled his special edition wine collection and were treated to homemade tapas created and served by Chef Juan Montalvo, the Hungry Cuban, and his wife Mary. Students and staff mingled with the guests while watching a video

Alley McInnis is no stranger to Boynton Beach’s South Tech Academy and the career education programs. Twenty-seven years ago, McInnis taught an evening class for adult students, teaching them to read blueprints and to prepare for taking the General Contracting test. And credentials he had, having owned his own construction company in Boston, Massachusetts for 26 years. McInnis later relocated to Florida and started another construction company, McInnis & Sons General Construction and Building. He came to South Tech when he retired from construction.

McInnis transitioned to South Technical High School as the On the Job Training (OJT) Coordinator and Business Liaison.

Twenty-two years ago, McInnis became a school advisor for SkillsUSA, which was known as VICA at that time. He served in the vocational areas, registering and working with the career academy instructors in training the students for the competition. His wife, Ann, helped him plan and accompanied him on many of the trips to the various contests.

SkillsUSA is a competition for all of South Tech’s high school twelve career academies.

Both secondary and post-secondary students compete in the SkillsUSA Regional, State and National competitions.

Recently, McInnis took 24 South Tech students to the SkillsUSA State Competition in Pensacola, Florida, and 14 of those students place 1st, 2nd or 3rd place. There were five 1st place winners in the Practical Nursing, Nurse’s Assistant, Marine Service Technician, Automotive Refinish Technician and Hair Weave categories. Four of these winning students will represent Florida at the National Competition in Kansas City in June, where 7,000 students from all over the United States will represent their state in various skills.

At the state event this year, McInnis was recognized as the Region 5 State SkillsUSA Leader. He received the Leader Award plaque for his many years of dedication and service.

Lorena Benitez, a senior at Atlantic Community High School, was one of four students to be named a 2013 ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Math and Science Scholar by the Council of the Great City Schools.

Students were selected from several hundred applicants for their academic performance, leadership qualities and community involvement.

Benitez will receive $5,000 to support her plans to pursue a degree in biology at Harvard University.

The scholarship program was created by former NASA astronaut Dr. Bernard Harris Jr., the first African American to walk in space, and the ExxonMobil Foundation to help underrepresented students pursue science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) studies and increase diversity in the STEM workforce.

Atlantic High School’s Lorena Benitez

The awards are given annually to two African-American and two Hispanic seniors from high schools in the 67 urban school districts represented by CGCS. “We are extremely proud of the winners of this highly competitive scholarship program,” said Michael Casserly, executive director, Council of the Great City Schools. “These young men and women will have an opportunity to become the leaders and innovators of tomorrow thanks to the generous support of ExxonMobil and the encouragement of Dr. Harris.”

“These scholarships are one way of empowering promising youth for math and science achievement both inside and outside the classroom,” said Dr. Harris. “I am proud to support the development of innovative young minds and honor these students as they create a brighter future for themselves and our nation.”

100% COLLEGE ACCEPTANCE FOR ELEV|8 SPORTS INSTITUTE ACADEMY ATHLETES 23 accepted to Division 1, Division 2 and Junior Colleges DELRAY BEACH, FL – ELEV|8 Sports Institute, an elite athletic training academy focusing on training excellence through player development and exceptional education, has announced that 100 percent of its 2012-2013 Academy Athletes have been accepted to college.

ELEV|8 Sports Institute provides specialized training and education for up-and-coming athletes with the goal of securing college acceptance, scholarship and/or becoming a Pro player.

“My students have worked as intensely in the classroom as they have on the field. It has been an honor to guide them through their studies and help them realize their dreams,” said Lisa Paolo, Director of Academics.

Eight of the student athletes will be attending Division 1 schools including Tulane, University of Miami, Alabama State, Jacksonville University, University of Southern Mississippi, University of Florida, Florida Atlantic University and North Carolina A & T. Of the remaining 14 athletes, four will be attending Division 2 colleges and 10 will be attending Junior College. More than 90 percent of the student athletes will continue playing their sport at the collegiate level.

Currently there are students from all over the nation, many of whom are from out of the country (representing more than 10 countries). These students often come to ELEV|8 Sports Institute for the specialized attention, including Stephen Alemais who came to ELEV|8 Sports Institute after having surgery on his left (non-throwing) shoulder. He had missed several opportunities to play while recovering. Due to the yearlong season in South Florida and the organization’s specialized training and education, he felt that ELEV|8 academy was the perfect fit.

“Making the move to ELEV|8 was a great decision for me,” Alemais said.

“In New York, they didn’t start baseball until mid-April, and I was able to start in January with ELEV|8. I got in shape and got my shoulder right, and I started swinging and throwing earlier. It got me out on the field and started a lot earlier than if I would have stayed in New York City,” said Stephen Alemais, ELEV|8 Sports Institute Senior.

Stephen will be attending Tulane on a full scholarship starting Fall 2013.

No student has achieved a full athletic scholarship at Tulane since the current head baseball coach in 1999.

The annual graduation ceremony, The 8’s Awards, was held at Delray Beach’s The Grand Tavern this past May 20.

“I’m excited to watch my student athletes continue to excel in their future studies and training. They will always be a part of our ELEV|8 family,” added Paolo.

AboutELEV|8 Sports Institute ELEV|8 Sports Institute is a multisport training center offering a multitude of programs including a residential nine month academy program, professional athlete training, high intensity training camps, and other customized training opportunities.

ELEV|8 Sports Institute is a destination for athletes around the world who come to improve their level of play offering sport specific training in basketball, baseball, lacrosse, and performance training.

“TOLERANCE” During this past month of May the Milagro Center STARS explored the living value of “TOLERANCE”. Here, in their own words, is what the kids said about the meaning of “TOLERANCE”:

“Tolerance is all about how you respect somebody. You can say, ‘Hey, you want to eat lunch with me?.”

- Nikacie, age 8 “Being tolerant means you don’t bully people. You should treat them as you would like to be treated. Just help them out!.”

- Jonathan, age 10 “Being tolerant is when you help people and treat people nice.”

- Alex, age 6 “Being tolerant is when I understand you, even if I don’t agree with you.”

- Trevor, age 6 “Tolerance is loving each other. It means you don’t care if there is a difference between you. Everyone is the same!.”

- Angely, age 9 WWW.MILAGROCENTER.ORG

WELLINGTON, FL – As world-class polo players and fans celebrated the close of another exciting season at International Polo Club Palm Beach recently, a couple of enterprising business students from Palm Beach Atlantic University may have come out the biggest winners of all – at least from their perspective.

For successfully running the club’s popular Kids Fun Zone during the 16-week polo season, the students – both attending PBA’s Rinker School of Business – were awarded scholarships by the International Polo Club to travel to Brazil for a 10-day educational business trip in May. “This program is a win-win for IPC and PBA. It is so nice to know that the money we spend on the Kids Fun Zone is helping to educate and train future business leaders.

This is one of the great things about my job, I get to make decisions daily that help other people,” said John Wash, president of the International Polo Club.

Lewis Thompson, a graduating senior, and Angie Moreau, a junior, netted over $10,850 running the Kids Fun Zone, a club service designed to entertain the children of parents who want to spend a relaxing Sunday afternoon watching professional polo. The monies will be applied to the IPC scholarships funding the business trip.

“Managing the Kids Fun Zone every Sunday for four months was like running a small business for them, and they did a fantastic job in raising money and awareness about the service,” said Dr. Ann Langlois, an associate professor in the Rinker School of Business, who oversees the scholarship program with the International Polo Club.

Dr. Langlois explained that each week the students were given a $1,000 budget to entertain the children. They had to contact and book vendors, negotiate contracts, schedule dates, keep the books, and troubleshoot a myriad of problems on the fly – all while staying under budget. The students booked vendors as diverse as a face painting service to pony rides to a presentation from a local science museum.

Thompson and Moreau also created a marketing program, with flyers distributed to parents every week, in the hope of generating greater awareness about the Kids Fun Zone.

The service cost parents only $10 – but it was all profit to the students.

Any profits they generated or monies saved under budget, they could keep and apply toward their scholarships. This season, the students created enough profit and savings to cover the full cost of the trip to Brazil, according to Dr. Langlois.

PALM BEACH COUNTY STUDENTS STAR IN VIDEO SERIES TO HELP PEERS SUCCEED IN SCHOOL POTOMAC, MD – Top achieving Palm Beach County high school students are sharing their personal secrets to academic success to help others excel in school. A new YouTube video series Secrets of Successful Students is designed to help students throughout Palm Beach County and across the nation. The short videos feature successful students teaching their peers the tips and tricks they use to achieve academic success.

The featured students are tutors for PeerGenius Tutors, a local tutoring service that created and funded the series.

According to a national survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation in 2010, 8-18 year-olds use entertainment media an average of 7 hours and 38 minutes in a typical day. “With students spending so much time online, PeerGenius wanted to add some valuable educational content to that platform,” said Peter Traub, Vice President of PeerGenius Tutors. “The idea for the video series came about because we know how much our tutors have to share with other students when they work one-on-one with them and wanted to provide this information on a broader scope to help more people.”

The company suggests the video topics and the tutors create the content, sharing their real life experience and making the advice their own. The first video in the series is “Conquering a Full Night of Homework.” The video was written and recorded by Emma Green, a senior at A.W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts. In addition to her job as a PeerGenius tutor, Emma is Editor in Chief of the Yearbook and Captain of the track team at A.W. Dreyfoos. “I have always loved teaching and helping other students and was excited to share my strategies through the video,” said Emma.

The Delray Beach Pineapple

by Dr. Raul

Rodriguez The word “natural” can be very misleading when used in marketing campaigns for consumable products.

People often assume that natural products are safe and healthy. This actually is true much of the time, but not always. There are 2 “natural”, plant-derived products that have been rapidly growing in popularity, but are far from safe and are certainly not healthy.

Kava-Kava and Kratom leaf are widely promoted online and locally in Kava bars as having relaxing properties and many health benefits. Most individuals who start to consume these products do not know of the risks, more often just aware of a long and culturally rich history.

Kava-Kava, also known as Yaqona, has been traditionally consumed for it’s relaxing effects on the human brain. This use started in the South Pacific and has been popular in many of the Polynesian Island cultures for thousands of years. In places such as Vanuatu, Fiji and parts of Australia, it has been used for medicinal, religious, political, cultural and social purposes.

Formal Yaqona ceremonies will often accompany important functions, usually involving a ritual presentation of the bundled roots as a sevusevu or gift, and drinking of the Kava itself. Even the vessels used in these ceremonies are often expertly crafted, with traditional Kava bowls being meticulously carved from a single piece of wood. The significance and respect that Kava holds in these cultures is evident. The complications that it can cause are becoming increasingly evident now as well.

When someone walks into a Kava bar, the last thing they are thinking of is going away to rehab in the next few months. Kava actually does have relaxing properties. The

www.DelrayPineapple.com

The Kava and Kratom crisis problem is that it can be abused and cause physical dependence with regular usage. The Polynesian cultures have depicted in great detail the patterns of abuse with this substance as well as the physical manifestations.

Heavy users exhibit overall poor health, a swollen face, and scaly rash. In a manner resembling what happens with heavy regular use of alcohol and sedatives, cessation of regular use of Kava can also lead to a chemical withdrawal syndrome. This syndrome is characterized by anxiety, tremor, sweating and possibly even seizures.

These problems can develop in an individual without any prior addiction problems. Complications can be amplified when there is a mix of Kava and other substances or alcohol.

The physical dependence can also be much more prominent with a chemical mix.

Kratom is another popular Kava bar item and has even greater physical dependence implications. Kratom is a leaf collected from a tree in the coffee family that has significant psychoactive properties. There are many purported medicinal uses for this substance, including serving as a natural alternative to treat depression, anxiety, addiction, diabetes, chronic pain and fatigue.

Many individuals experience an increase in energy, elevations of mood, relief of pain and a general sense of wellbeing when on Kratom. The effects wear off and then the natural inclination is to take more. The benefits can be reproduced but soon physical dependence develops. The nature and severity of the physical dependence caused by regular Kratom use resembles that seen with opioids such as oxycodone and heroin.

Affected individuals experience flu like symptoms, sweating, goose flesh, hot and cold flashes, body aches, leg cramps, weakness, fatigue, depression, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. These symptoms usually last a week or longer in a dependent individual. Most people cannot stand it longer than a day or two and go back on the Kratom.

It is at this point that individuals feel trapped and do not know how to get off. A full inpatient or outpatient opioid detoxification is required at that point. I have detoxed numerous such individuals that have been caught in this chemical trap. This effect is especially prominent in anyone who has a history of opioid addiction.

Individuals with a history of addiction, even with an otherwise strong recovery, are especially vulnerable to the chemical effects of Kava and Kratom. They usually develop physical dependence very quickly, or are triggered to relapse onto their drug of choice. Some Kratom products that are made with grain alcohol will also cause full alcohol dependence as well as the opioid dependence.

These substances are an ever-present threat on the internet. Local recovery communities, including the one in Delray Beach, are devastated by all of the relapses caused by Kava bars selling to unsuspecting and vulnerable individuals. The problem has grown to such a degree that specialty drug testing laboratories have become active in developing tests to detect both Kratom and Kava.

Drug testing helps create accountability for vulnerable populations and facilitates early detection of a relapse. A number of municipalities, exemplified by Pinellas County in Florida, have been actively working to ban both Kava and Kratom leaf. Greater awareness and vigilance with regards to the high risks of consuming these substances, especially for individuals in recovery, will continue to be the primary means of trying to contain this public health crisis until a legal solution can be found.

SloBody – conditioning infused yoga™ – is a trademarked workout method that Strengthens, Lengthens, and Opens the Body. Located at 209 NE 5th Terrace in Delray Beach, the first Florida SloBody location will bring a focus to the client’s individual needs through consistent personal attention and correction.

Complimentary one-hour SloBody classes will be offered on the following dates/times: • Saturday, June 1 at 10:00am • Monday, June 3 at 9:30am and 6:00pm • Wednesday, June 5 at 9:30am and 6:00pm • Friday, June 7 at 6:30am • Saturday, June 8 at 10:00am The Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting ceremony will be held Tuesday, June 11 from 5:00 to 6:30pm and will include a tour of the facility, a meet-and-greet with founders Kirk Slobody and Janine Tiede, a brief SloBody class, and refreshments and food provided by Delray Beach establishment Fit Food Express.

Former NCAA Division I athletes and masters at breaking movement down, Kirk

Slobody and Janine Tiede, created SloBody.

By stripping Yoga to the essence of what makes it great exercise and blending it with old school conditioning (squats, lunges, core work, push-ups) they created a unique workout that builds: strength, awareness, balance, flexibility, and mobility.

Despite the “naked yoga” description, clients are told to keep their clothes on as yoga is the one being undressed! At SloBody, there is no chanting, no incense, no gurus and no embellishments. Instead, there is just yoga postures and conditioning.

“The traditional vibe of Guru…didn’t jive with my personality. I didn’t want to smell the incense, hear the chanting, or deal with dogma that was a distraction to my goals. For me it was a natural progression to blend yoga postures and breath awareness into a more athletic conditioning structure,” explains Kirk, owner and co-founder of SloBody.

After thirteen years of proven results in Seattle, Washington, SloBody– conditioning infused yoga™ comes to South Florida to build athletes at any age – and starting at any conditioning level. Kirk and Janine take the beginners through the awkward stages of starting an exercise routine to reaping the rewards of fitness.

Online classes compliment the education.

SloBody’s Online Training pages are your gateway to information that is safe, practical and efficient. Subscriptions range from free to several different levels.

SloBody’s method could change the way South Florida thinks of fitness. It is an adaptable workout that provides physical and mental fitness for a lifetime. The skills are transferable to any sport, physical discipline, and life in general. The method is founded in the body – body based exercises, not equipment based – which means one can do it anywhere and anytime. Even at home naked if you really wanted to– just be sure to close the curtains!

Give Dad the gift of better hearing This Father’s Day, it’s important to remember that a father suffering from hearing loss isn’t the only one affected.

Hearing health affects every aspect of family life.

Unaddressed hearing loss makes it tougher for dads to connect with their children and grandchildren, heightens frustration and irritation in the home, and undermines family relationships. It often leads to a sense of isolation, and to considerable negative social, psychological, cognitive and health effects that go well beyond hearing alone.

According to studies by the Better Health Institute, six out of 10 people affected with hearing loss are men, and 31 million people in the United States have hearing loss. That’s 15 percent of baby boomers and 33 percent of seniors.

Fortunately, 95 percent of hearing loss is treatable with hearing instruments.

Questions for Determining If Your Dad Might Need Hearing Instruments • Does he seem to have trouble hearing on the telephone?

• Is it more difficult for him to follow conversations?

• Does he keep turning up the TV or radio?

• Does he sometimes miss a telephone ring or doorbell?

• Does he seem more irritated or tired at big family gatherings?

• Does he ask for things to be repeated or for people to stop mumbling?

If the answer to some of these questions is yes, a hearing check is an important next step. To recognize the importance of hearing the Doctors of Audiology at Hearing Partners are offering a complimentary hearing check for your dad and any member of the family.

Men love their power tools. But when it comes to hearing, men often shy away from the one power tool that could boost their hearing, conquer noisy environments, and overcome competing sounds. The newest hearing instruments are sleek, sophisticated devices that are scientifically engineered to provide unparalleled sound quality in various hearing environments. Many fit comfortably in the ear and are virtually invisible.

For more information on hearing loss prevention and treatment or to schedule your complimentary appointment, contact Hearing Partners conveniently located in Delray Beach 561-638-6530 and Boynton Beach 561736-6002. www.myhearimgpartners.com.

What Chiropractic is and what it is not! SNACK ATTACK!!

By Dr. Marilyn Shore Special to The Pineapple

Hi everyone!

My name is Dr. Marilyn Shore, and I am proud to say that I am a Chiropractor. Prior to this, I was an RN in New York City. After working on many units, in several hospitals, I became disillusioned with medicine, especially for chronic illness. I went to Life Chiropractic University in Atlanta, Georgia and now have been in practice for 26 years. I currently have an office in downtown Delray Beach, and have been there for the last ten years.

I am making my history brief, because what I want to share with you is what I do and what Chiropractic really is. Most people think that Chiropractic is for back and neck pain, and the reason why most people go see a Chiropractor is for that reason. I am here to shed that understanding.

The first Chiropractic adjustment was in 1895 by a man named DD Palmer.

There was a janitor in his building who

was deaf, and Palmer noted that he had a misalignment in his spine, and proceeded to adjust it back into place, and amazingly his hearing returned. This was the beginning of Chiropractic. It was never intended to be a back pain modality.

The purpose of Chiropractic is to find and correct vertebra in the spine that are out of alignment, blocking the nerve energy flow from the brain to all the tissues, organs and cells of the body, to give them back life. If your foot is on a garden hose and the water can’t get out, the plants die. If you have vertebra, interfering with the nerve flow, you start dying.

My job is to find and correct these misalignments, so the innate or inborn wisdom of your body can heal you from the inside out.

Thus, I am the master mechanic that moves the bone to allow the innate within you to do the healing. It is gentle, specific and effective for anyone who has a spine, from birth to the elderly.

I have been getting my spine checked and adjusted, when needed, for the past 30 years. I have an 18-year-old daughter who has been getting adjusted since she was born. She has never had a pill or medication in her entire life. I make sure we are clear, and when you are clear of nerve interference, and your innate is on the job, then you have the best opportunity to heal and stay healthy.

If you are interested in hearing more, I have weekly talks in my office that you are welcome to attend. For more information call 561-278-2727 or visit www.shorechiro.com.

There’s no denying that everyone, at one time or another, has had a snack attack. Views on snacking differ. Some feel that snacking is bad and that eating between meals leads to weight gain. Others believe that eating many small meals and snacks throughout the day is healthy for maintaining energy levels and optimal weight. If there were one way of snacking that was right for everyone, we would all be doing it!

To alleviate snack attack guilt, try to understand why you are snacking and what snacks work best for your body. Perhaps you snack because your daily diet is missing nutrition, or because you are eating too little at meals. You might be snacking to soothe nerves when you are emotional, or to entertain yourself when you are bored. Whatever your reason, acknowledge it and start thinking about how to create a life that is nourishing and truly satisfying.

Although snacks are no substitute for loving your life, they can be great energy boosters. Many convenient snack foods are highly processed and full of chemicals, additives, damaging fats and refined sugars.

When a snack attack hits you, try foods that are filling and satisfying, but also nutritious.

Here are some tips: • Snack on things that don’t come in a plastic wrapper or a box, like fresh fruit, leftover vegetables or rice cakes with almond butter and fruit spread.

• Make your own signature trail mix, organic hot chocolate made with almond milk sweetened with agave nectar, or blue corn chips with hummus.

You can also try “upgrading”: • If you are craving something crunchy, upgrade from potato chips to raw carrots, apples or whole grain crackers.

• If you are craving a candy bar, upgrade to a handful of nuts and dried fruit.

• Instead of a cup of coffee, upgrade to green tea.

• Instead of ice cream, upgrade to applesauce with cinnamon.

Upgraded snacks are high in nutrition and give you a greater sense of satiety and satisfaction; you won’t feel physically or psychologically deprived, and you’ll have plenty of energy to sustain your activities for hours.

Food Focus: Fruit A healthy lifestyle is the key to longevity, optimum weight, abundant energy and balance.

By using fruit to satisfy our taste for sweetness, we can leave behind the use of chemical, processed and refined sweeteners. Fruits are easy to digest, are cleansing and cooling and are great for those who are overstressed and overheated from excessive mental strain or the hot weather. Fruits are filled with fiber and liver stimulants, which act as natural, gentle laxatives. Whenever possible, buy fresh, locally grown fruit as opposed to imported fruits shipped from far-off places. This keeps you eating in season, and more in harmony with your environment and climate.

Eating raw fruit in summer months is highly cooling, while baking it in the winter

With Coach Julia Kadel

months neutralizes the cooling effect. Fruit in the form of juice is a great choice for cleansing the body, but be aware that juice rapidly raises blood sugar levels, leading to an energy crash soon after. Frozen, whole, puréed or juiced fruit can make great summertime cool-down treats. Try frozen grapes, banana-coconut smoothie popsicles or lime juice ice-cubes in iced tea!

Whether you are having fresh fruit for a light early morning breakfast, a midday snack or evening treat, enjoy nature’s sweetness and whenever possible buy organic. Here are a few summer fruits and their health benefits:

Apricots: Great for lung conditions and asthma; used to help treat anemia due to their high copper and cobalt content.

Bananas: Help to lubricate the intestines, treat ulcers, detoxify the body and manage sugar cravings; are rich in potassium (which helps hypertension).

Cherries: Slightly warming in nature; increase overall body energy, remedy arthritis and rheumatism and are rich in iron, which improves the blood.

Grapefruits: Treat poor digestion, increase appetite during pregnancy, alleviate intestinal gas and reduce mucus conditions of the lungs.

Papayas: Tone the stomach, act as digestive aid, moisten the lungs and alleviate coughing; contain carpaine, an anti-tumor compound.

Raspberries: Benefit the liver and kidneys, cleanse blood of toxins, regulate menstrual cycles, treat anemia and can promote labor at childbirth.

Snacking is enjoyable and there is a wide variety of healthful goodies for whatever you’re craving, be it sweet, crunchy, salty, creamy or spicy. Dive in, be creative and enjoy your snack attack.

2013 Annual Chamber Golf Tournament

It was a beautiful sunny day at Gleneagles Country Club. 70 participants showed up to play in the Annual Delray Beach Chamber Golf Tournament. The day started off with a lovely buffet in the clubhouse. Golfers were then urged to head down to the green where they were assigned a golf cart and their starting hole.

After about 4 hours of golf, the participants heading back inside for awards, cocktails, Hor’ dourves and a raffle. A fun time was had by all. For photos of this great annual event, see page 22.

Z list of amenities for the entire wedding, and enough entertainment packed in a few miles to keep everyone from the grooms and groomsmen, to grandma and grandpa, far away from boredom.

Each month the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) embarks on a marketing campaign to highlight local merchants from Delray Beach’s trendy East Atlantic Avenue and Pineapple Grove.

Local restaurants have been showcased, along with salons and spas, and those two groups of businesses have thrived. Back on Sunday, April 28, the DDA debuted a oncea-year opportunity for engaged couples titled “I Do!” In Delray which turned out to be a bridal wave of information. Billed as an exclusive, luxury bridal event for the modern sophisticated bride with style and passion, the event didn’t disappoint.

Hundreds, including couples, wedding and event planners and even vendors, checked out their peers.

“Everything went so well with ‘I Do!’ In Delray that I’m almost 100 percent sure it will become an annual event,” said Laura Simon, associate director of the Downtown Development Authority.

Simon and the DDA worked closely with the Victoria DeSilvio Group, a luxury weddings, special events, corporate affairs and wedding and event planner, and Hyatt Place Pineapple Grove’s sales department to make the event a winner. Ryan Boylston, the creative force and owner behind Futuristic Woo introduced Victoria DeSilvio to Simon at the DDA last year and from there the bridal show began to take shape.

Hospital worker moves into dream home

Home is the second underwritten by Broken Sound Club, totaling $100,000 in donations and 400 volunteer hours BOCA RATON, FL – Demonstrating its long-standing “Community for Community” commitment, Broken Sound Club sponsored the construction of Habitat for Humanity’s most recent South Palm Beach County home with donations of $50,000 and more than 200 volunteer hours from staff members.

The keys to the home were presented

GIVING BACK BRIAN ROSEN: A MAN ABOUT TOWN

By Jamie Salen The Pineapple Staff Writer

“Life without industry is guilt; industry without art is brutality.”

– John Rushkin Brian Rosen is a man about town. You can find him at the local coffee shops in the mornings, standing with clients in front of the latest vacant building downtown in the afternoon, and cheering with the crowd in the evenings at whatever community arts event might be on the calendar. It is safe to say this “Delray Beacher” is a dedicated community member.

“

I stumbled upon Delray Beach and couldn’t believe such a perfect place was only an hour’s drive from where I grew up.” - Brian Rosen

As is the purpose of this monthly column, let’s take a deeper look at what brought Rosen here, what has motivated his dedication and what the future of Delray Beach looks like in his eyes.

A native of South Florida, Rosen was raised in Miami and discovered Delray Beach

for the first time in 2001 when his firm was tasked with managing the shopping center on the corner of Atlantic Avenue and Military Trail. When his next career move landed him at Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Service in Fort Lauderdale, Rosen took the opportunity to say goodbye to Miami.

Looking for a closer commute, he became a Delray Beach resident. “Like so many others who call Delray Beach home, I stumbled upon the town and couldn’t believe such a perfect place was only an hour’s drive from where I grew up,” explains Rosen. “I come from a family of artists and was immediately impressed with the city’s mission to foster economic growth through the arts and knew I wanted to be involved,” he adds.

Rosen got his opportunity to join the ranks of the art community’s inner circle on a chance encounter with, then CRA employee Alyona Ushe, while participating in Leadership Delray through the Chamber of Commerce. In the process of working with the CRA and the city to create the Arts Garage, Ushe recognized Rosen’s passion for the arts and dedication to the community, and asked him to join the young Creative City Collaborative Executive Board.

Having been involved with Pineapple Grove since making his first real estate deal downtown for the Delray Camera Shop, Rosen had shared Ushe’s vision for a thriving performing arts and fine arts community in the growing downtown neighborhood on the north side of Atlantic Ave. Rosen now had his golden opportunity to fuse his expertise in commercial real estate with his passion for the arts. “I have been able to advise current and potential business Continued on page 19

owners in the area, and help them to make smart choices for themselves and the city,” says Rosen.

His expertise proved a valuable asset during the recent negotiations between the Creative City Collaborative and the Delray Beach City Commission over the ownership of the property at the corner of NE 2nd Ave and NE 1st Street in Pineapple Grove, currently occupied by the Arts Garage. Under the original agreement, the property owned by the city, would act as only a temporary home for the non-profit gallery and performing arts venue that had amassed an impressive following of dedicated patrons and attracted the attention of critics around the country. Rosen, along with fellow executive board member, Bob Schmier, championed the interests of the Arts Garage during negotiations with city commissioners over the sale. Rosen represented both the Creative City Collaborative and Schmier, who had promised to buy the property himself in order to give the Arts Garage a window of time to raise the funds needed to purchase their space. “When it looked like a law firm would end up occupying the property, we thought it would be the wrong move for the city,” explains Rosen. “That property is the bridge between Pineapple Grove and Atlantic Avenue and having a business that would be dark at night could mean moving the development of the area in the wrong direction.” The issue was resolved when the

JUNE 2013 • 19

City of Delray Beach granted the Creative City Collaborative time to raise the capital needed to purchase the Arts Garage.

Beyond his efforts as an executive board member for the Creative City Collaborative, Rosen is also an active member of the Pineapple Grove Arts District Board and has been recognized for his efforts to clean up the area known as Artist Alley. With his experience in commercial real estate, he works closely to secure buy-in from local business owners and landlords for further development of the area. “I have been lucky because I love what I do and I have been able to use my skills, not only to build a fulfilling career, but to be a part of the growth and improvement of the community I live in,” says Rosen. His most recent professional accomplishments include the closing of a deal that will bring yet another exciting new attraction to Artist Alley, and he has no plans to stop there.

It is hard to believe Rosen still finds time to lounge in his favorite coffee shop or attend community events when he is actively participating as a member of the Parking Advisory Board and a supporter of the Milagro Center, on top of his work in Pineapple Grove, but somehow Rosen makes it look easy. He would say that when you are doing what you enjoy and believe in, it is hardly work. Without people like Rosen laboring behind the scenes, Delray Beach would not be what is today, or what it will surely become tomorrow.

FINANCIAL LITERACY = SMART MONEY HABITS April was Financial Literacy Month. Colleen Hasey Schuhmann, Financial Advisor with UBS Financial Services in Boca Raton, spoke to the 4th through 8th grade students at St. Vincent Ferrer School, for the 4th consecutive year, to teach them about smart money habits such as setting financial goals, ways to properly use credit cards, and how to use a budget.

Children are never too young to learn good habits with their money. Schuhmann, whose children attend the school, is passionate about teaching financial literacy to the next generation. She is shown here with her son Matthew after speaking to his 4th grade class at St. Vincent School in Delray Beach about smart money habits.

years. A mother of two, Rhonda currently lives with her daughter Rashema, 24, and granddaughter Kei’jah, 4. The family has lived in Section 8 housing in Lake Worth for the past 10 years, where their two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is subsidized by the government. When Kei’jah joined the family in 2008, space became tight and Rashema and Kei’jah were forced to share a room. Despite living in Lake Worth, Rhonda met the Habitat For Humanity South Palm Beach County affiliate’s residency requirements because she has worked at Bethesda Memorial Hospital in Boynton Beach for the past 15 years. As a Unit Coordinator, she had plenty of experience with volunteers prior to ever stepping foot on a Habitat build site.

“I am so excited about being able to purchase a home for the first time in my life,” said Jenkins. “I have no problem with taking the necessary steps to accomplish the dream that I have always wanted to come true.”

Prior to applying to the Habitat for Humanity homeownership program, Rhonda worked closely with Credit Counselors of North America to improve her financial outlook. Her hard work paid off when she was accepted into the program as a prospective homeowner in October 2011.

As Rhonda began her sweat equity hours, it became obvious that it was important to her to earn her home on her own. The affiliate’s sweat equity policy would have allowed Rhonda to recruit family and friends to contribute up to 40% of her sweat equity hours, but she resolved to earn them all herself. She credits her parents for her tremendous work ethic. Rhonda also used the sweat equity experience to become more active in the community, earning some of her hours at other local nonprofits, including the Caring Kitchen in Delray Beach.

“When this project is over for me, I will give back what others have given to me and that is helping others to receive the same thing,” Jenkins said. “It has truly been a blessing for me.”

“Homeownership provides a stable

foundation for a child to live and grow,” said Michael Campbell, Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity. “Having the support from Broken Sound Club allows us to continue to share the great opportunity of giving back to a community of people in need. Those who have more are willing to share with those who have less. Broken Sound is truly a giving and caring community.”

Campbell shared that after Broken Sound Club’s underwriting of its first Habitat For Humanity home in Delray Beach, Crean drafted and sent a letter inviting all other gated county club communities in Palm Beach County to share the importance and meaning of “paying it forward” via “community for community” sponsorship.

Campbell noted that Crean’s letter generated the attention that resulted in the underwriting of three more homes by area country club communities.

DELRAY BEACH ARTS, INC. ANNOUNCES CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP FOR ANNUAL DELRAY BEACH ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARADE DELRAY BEACH, FL - Delray Beach Arts, Inc. announced that the Annual Delray Beach St. Patrick’s Day parade will now be managed by a new company - Code 3 Events, Inc. and will be led by, fire fighters John Fischer, Traci Moore and Roberto M’Causland.

Delray Beach Arts, Inc. has managed the annual parade for five years and has overseen the parade’s phenomenal growth. The parade now draws over 150,000 spectators to downtown Delray Beach and has a Total Industry Economic Impact of over $3,500,000. Nancy Stewart-Franczak attributes the growth of the parade to the inclusion of an international fire fighter theme that was adopted three years ago.

Stewart-Franczak states, “Three years ago, we implemented the International Firefighter & EMS Appreciation theme for the parade and invited Captain John Fischer to spread the word through all of his fire service contacts. The response he generated was huge. To date fire fighters and fire service pipes & drum bands from Dublin Ireland, Canada, Australia, Belgium and all across the continental United States have traveled to Delray Beach to participate in our parade.

This has had a tremendously positive effect on local families that now bring their children to enjoy the civic beauty of this.”

Fire fighters, John Fischer and Traci Moore have taken the firefighter theme and coordinated the solicitation and hospitality of the visiting firefighters over the last three years. They are the principles in the new company. Stewart-Franczak continues, “Our wish is to see the parade continue for many years and with John and Traci’s dedication and leadership we know the parade’s success will only continue to grow”.

Volunteer Hall of Fame Award at Morikami

FAU PRESIDENT MARY JANE SAUNDERS RESIGNS AFTER CONTROVERSIES Courtesy, Kevin Gale, Editor in Chief South Florida Business Journal Saying that recent controversies “have been significant and distracting,” Mary Jane Saunders has resigned as president of Florida Atlantic University after only three years in office.

FAU experienced controversies after agreeing a naming rights deal for its stadium from Geo Group of Boca Raton and a mass communications professor questioning realities surrounding the Newtown, Conn., shootings and Boston Marathon bombings.

Saunders had many supporters in the business community and received the largest applause from the audience when she recently took the stage to accept one of 10 South Florida Business Journal Ultimate CEO Awards.

Protesters dogged Saunders over the stadium decision, which was subsequently rescinded. At one point a student who didn’t get out of the way was bumped by a mirror on Saunder’s car as she was backing out of a parking spot.

There is no doubt the recent controversies have been significant and distracting to all members of the University community.

The issues and the fiercely negative media coverage have forced me to reassess my position Mary Jane Saunders as the President of FAU. I must make choices that are the best for the University, me and my family,” Saunders said in a statement posted on the university’s website.

However, Saunders also said she had accomplished goals to expand the excellence at the university. She will return to a faculty position and be assigned a special research project – to assess the feasibility of developing a physician’s assistant program at FAU, the university said.

Dennis Crudele, FAU’s senior vice president for finance and administration, is now the acting president of the university and an interim president is expected to be in place this fall, FAU Board of Trustees Chairman Anthony K. G. Barbar said. He expects a search committee to be formed this fall.

Barbar said he accepted Saunder’s resignation with regret: “The Board respects your desire to return to the faculty, a decision we know you made in the best interest of the University.”

As the bonsai garden grows, volunteers at the Morikami Museum and Japanese Garden grow with it. Herb Gottlieb, was honored with the Director’s Volunteer Hall of Fame Award – the highest volunteer recognition by Palm Beach County – after dedicating almost 20 years of service to the museum. Gottlieb began his volunteer work at the gardens in 1985 and even worked alongside garden designer Hoichi Kurisu as he built the recognizable Morikami waterfalls. At 94, Gottlieb still leads tour groups through the Morikami and shares his knowledge on the park he’s watched develop from the beginning.

The Max Group acquires control of Max’s Harvest BOCA RATON, FL –Dennis Max and Fred Stampone, partners in The Max Group, announced they have acquired control of Max’s Harvest through a purchase of the ownership interest held by its original investor. The Max Group has been the managing partner of the award-winning Delray Beach restaurant since its inception in 2011.

Patrick Broadhead, Executive Chef and Partner in The Max Group, continues to oversee the culinary direction of Max’s Harvest as he mentors Chef James Kampper and General Manager, Peter Stampone.

The restaurant has received numerous accolades, including Best Restaurant in Palm Beach County in 2012 by the New Times Broward/Palm Beach. Max’s Harvest continues to expand its network of local farmers who produce the highest-quality, sustainable ingredients for the eatery’s farm-to-fork cuisine.

Underscoring the success of Max’s Harvest, Max and Stampone are actively seeking to expand the brand to new locations in Florida and other East Coast markets. In addition, they announced progress in their plans to move forward with their new concept, Max’s Fresh, which they describe as a “premium fast casual evolution of Max’s Harvest.” Plans

to open three to five Max’s Fresh locations in key trade areas in the eastern U.S. beginning in 2014 are progressing. The fast casual concept will promote affordable, high-quality culinary offerings utilizing locally-sourced and naturally-grown ingredients.

Max’s Harvest is located in historic Pineapple Grove at 169 NE 2nd Avenue in Delray Beach. For more information, visit www.maxsharvest.com.

Restaurateur Dennis Max, one of the region’s most successful culinary entrepreneurs, helped redefine South Florida cuisine in the 1980’s with groundbreaking restaurants such as Café Max, Max’s Place and Maxaluna. Credited with bringing Californiastyle, new American cuisine to South Florida diners, at its peak, Max’s Unique Restaurant Concepts operated 17 restaurants. Today, The Max Group operates its signature Max’s Grille in Boca Raton and Max’s Harvest in Delray Beach and is working on unveiling its new concept, Max’s Fresh, in 2014.

Helpful business hints from Delray Beach Chamber members

When the job brings you to tears

By Andrea Hoffer Special to The Pineapple Recently, I’ve met quite a few women who tell me they cry regularly because of their job.

These are well educated professional women in their forties and fifties. When I ask them to tell me about what triggers this emotion, most of them tell me it is the treatment they receive on a regular basis from their supervisor or sometimes even a co-worker.

I’ve worked with many individuals and groups to help them understand the work behavior of others. Sometimes a challenging boss is misunderstood as overly critical. The team member may feel they are not appreciated by the boss when he questions all of her ideas.

The employee may even feel concern for her job while the boss just wants to make sure all output is successful and accurate.

This is a common theme in the work world. We all have different motivations and fears that drive us and those are expressed by the way we behave and communicate in our everyday responsibilities. Conflict may occur when two or more people approach work differently. I have found great success working with teams and individuals using a behavioral assessment called DiSC. While workplace conflict may cause a high level of stress for the people involved, I sensed that these women were talking about something more. I asked more questions and was amazed at what I heard. All of these women had supervisors or co-workers who not only criticized them regularly, but berated them with demeaning language and tone. This created a very toxic environment for these women to work. I began to understand why they made it a daily practice to cry at the end of their day.

I tried to understand the motivation of the supervisors who are regularly speaking down to their team members. Is it because they have a lot pressure on them from above to perform? Or, maybe their supervisors speak that way to them and they are just managing the way they learned. My true question is, does it work? Does yelling at your employee and calling them names motivate them to perform at a higher level? It may in the short term. I have seen management by fear produce the desired results in rare cases, but have never seen it work in the long term. I suspect that the desired results could have been achieved at a higher level had the manager’s approach been different.

Managing employees is never easy. We all make mistakes on a daily basis. There can be some really high stakes involved for a manager or business owner if an employee doesn’t perform to the expected level. Everyday I ask myself, “Did I do right by my employees today?” If I didn’t get the results I wanted from one or more of my employees, what could I have done differently? Did I provide them with all of the resources they need to perform at the high level I expect? Did i give them the room they need to perform and empower them to do so? Do we have the same expectations of results? If we don’t, how do I help them find a home where they will be happy and successful? Is that home

in my organization in a new position or is it somewhere else?

I once received some advice from a colleague I highly respect who said in any conversation you want to make sure all parties walk away feeling respected. How do we, as supervisors, discuss poor performance with our employees yet make sure they leave the conversation with their dignity in tack? Here are a few pointers: • Recognize good performance often. That way when you do need to give constructive feedback, your employees won’t feel like that is only thing they hear from you.

• Use a new Oreo approach. The Oreo approach where you start with positive feedback, sandwich in the constructive feedback, and finish with positive feedback has been used for years. I’d like to suggest a slight change on this approach.

Cookie - Start by recognizing something the employee is doing well. Instead of brushing over this, discuss it for moment. Ask the employee what he or she contributes to their success in that area. For example, if the employee is an administrative assistant who always gets projects done in a timely matter, ask her what techniques she uses to keep on task.

Middle - Next, bring up the area you need to see improved. Maybe she comes in late to work regularly which means your office is not opened on time. Explain the results of her behavior and how it affects the overall business. Now, relate the techniques she described that work for her in other areas to the behavior you need to see changed.

Cookie - End with a written plan of the steps the employee is going to take to improve.

Many times this requires a commitment on your part as well, such as additional training.

Sometimes the traditional Oreo approach makes the positive feedback sound forced and not genuine. We also get caught up in making sure we sandwich the constructive feedback in positive comments, that the intended message of what needs improvement gets lost. This alternative approach recognizes the employee’s value, points out areas for improvement, and asks the employee to commit to a plan to improve their performance.

The next time you get frustrated with an employee’s performance, ask yourself if you are taking that frustration out on the employee or are you helping them to find a way to be successful.

Andrea Hoffer brings a unique perspective to consulting and training. A small business owner with 35 employees herself, she knows first hand the everyday challenges of motivating employees, exceeding customer expectations, and meeting business and revenue goals. Contact Andrea to help you improve the experience you offer your customers and employees. www.andreahofferassociates.com 561-829-5611 andrea@ andreahofferassociates.com

medical GENESIS COMMUNITY HEALTH EXPANDS INTO SOUTH COUNTY New offices to serve southern Palm Beach County and northern Broward residents

Boynton Beach – After four years treating and serving patients from its Boynton Beach clinic off Woolbright Road, Genesis Community Health is branching out with a new satellite location in Delray Beach.

The two-room treatment space is being made available within the South County Mental Center (SCMHC), 16158 South Military Trail, as a way to offer patients a convenient healthcare hub. Beginning June 10, three Genesis full-time staff members will offer basic wellness services, preventative screenings and referral information for all family members from its new offices.

Pictured: Marcia Gilkes, ARNP, GNP-BC; Executive Director DeAnna Warren, and Juan Amado, ARNP, FNP-BC

“South County Mental Health Center is excited to have Genesis Community Health partner with us to bring together a comprehensive, cost effective health care initiative,” said Joseph S. Speicher, SCMHC Chief Executive Officer.

The South County Mental Center and Genesis Community Health offices will be housed separately and clearly designated for

patients seeking specific assistance.

“Genesis Community Health is excited to be in Delray Beach, so we can become the ‘medical home’ for a new group of families,” said DeAnna Warren, executive director of Genesis. “We are aiming to see about 100 patients a month for preventative screenings, tests and treatments. Just a few of our screenings check for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, sexually transmitted diseases and HIV. These services are offered in a medical, confidential environment with highly trained doctors and nurses who residents can trust.”

Genesis Community Health’s primary location at 564 E. Woolbright Road, Boynton Beach is one of 219 health centers across the country that received Affordable Care Act funding in June 2012 to help expand access to care for more than 1.25 million additional patients and create approximately 5,640 jobs nationwide.

Genesis is a Florida 501 c3 non-profit organization created to promote and provide health care to people of all economic levels, with special sensitivity to the needs of economically disadvantaged people of diverse cultural backgrounds in and around Palm Beach County. Genesis is an access point of care for patients who traditionally do not have adequate access to the health care system.

Genesis is currently funded through the US Department of Health and Human Services and the Quantum Foundation.

Genesis was formed in 2009 in response to a community needs assessment conducted by a consulting group that identified Boynton Beach as an area of need and that there was a severe lack of access to primary care for residents.

GRADES 7-12 WHO WANT TO MAKE IT BIG IN BUSINESS NOW! BOCA RATON, FL – Applications are now being accepted for the Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce’s 2013-2014 Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!) that empowers South Florida students entering grades 7-12 to start their own small business from the ground up, with instruction, inspiration and mentorship from local business leaders.

YEA! is a groundbreaking educational program – held in collaboration with the Florida Atlantic University College of Business’ Adams Center for Entrepreneurship and The Golden Bell Scholarship Fund – that takes students through the process of starting and running real businesses over the course of a full academic year. Students work in close cooperation with local leaders of industry, community members, and educators to develop ideas and objectives, write business plans, pitch potential investors, obtain funding, register with governmental agencies, develop their brand identity and more. By the end of the class, students own and operate fully functioning businesses that can be carried on after graduation.

“YEA! helps students embrace their passion, energy, creativity and talents, launch a venture, and view entrepreneurship as synonymous with success and freedom,” noted Beth Johnston, Executive Vice President of the Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce who has served as Director of the YEA! Program. “What is most exciting about this program is that young people begin the YEA! class as students and end as CEOs of their own businesses. They learn and feel the exhilaration of making a job—not just taking a job…long before they even enter college.”

Students must be creative, energetic and interested in entrepreneurship. Weekly classes are located at the Florida Atlantic University College of Business’ Adams Center for Entrepreneurship from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesdays. The 2013-2014 class kicks off in September and ends in early May. Applications are now available online at www.bocaratonchamber.com/yea, and must be postmarked on or before June 15th. The selection process, which requires an interview, is competitive; with admission limited to 24 students and granted on a rolling basis, applicants are urged to apply early. Applications will be accepted until such time as the class cap is achieved. Tuition is $395; scholarships are available based on need and merit.

Johnston noted that this year’s YEA! student enterprises ranged from a teen photography business, an air-conditioning filters company, an environmentally conscious school fundraising program, a UV cutlery kit that sanitizes utensils in between usages, to websites that sell lacrosse and soccer gear, a soon-to-be patented product for baseball players and a blended aerobics/yoga/ meditation fitness program to science fair kit company, an online yearbook ad creation program, hair bow company, an educational game and an online nonprofit teacher/ public portal assist in raising funds for music instruments in schools. Boca Raton resident and sophomore at Pine Crest School Bronsen Bloom, who founded the nonprofit Musical Cares (www.musicalcares.net) to offset the costs of providing music in education, was chosen as Boca’s “Saunders Scholar SemiFinalist” by a panel of judges for an all-

expense paid trip to Rochester, NY becoming a finalist representing the Boca Chamber and competing with the other YEA! locations around the country (41 of them).

Students hailed from several local area schools, including Boca Raton Middle School, Eagles Landing Middle School, A.D. Henderson University School, Spanish River High School, Boca Raton Community High School, Coral Springs Charter School, Atlantic High School, Pine Crest School, Saint Andrew’s School, Boca Raton Christian School, St. Joan of Arc and Pope John Paul II High School.

Two students from the inaugural class are continuing to grow their businesses: The inaugural Boca Raton Chamber’s YEA! class winner – 13-year-old Rebecca Zerbo from Eagles Landing Middle School – won the national competition (competing against 24 other YEA! businesses) with her Positive Pocket nonprofit (www.positivepocket.org) and received a $30,000 college scholarship.

This month, Zerbo went from “pocket cards” to launching a Positive Pocket fashion jeans line on KickStarter following its debut at the recent TEDX event.

16-year-old Sam Steiner submitted his SeniorLink Consulting business to the 2013 Miami Herald Business Plan Challenge and won first prize this month in the competition’s High School Track. This Saint Andrew’s School sophomore’s affordable service helps senior citizens to stay connected with teens teaching seniors how to use and master the computer.

“YEA! is an amazing experience that allowed me to bring my business to the next level,” said Bronson Bloom, CEO of Musical Cares, who participating at the national competition made his nonprofit’s first outof-state donation of musical instruments to Young Women’s College Prep Charter School (YWCP), Rochester’s first and only all-girls, public school, and offers students the opportunity to learn in a single-gender environment where a strong focus is placed on leadership and literacy to achieve its goal of 100% graduation and college enrollment.

Justin Bentayou, an 8th grade Eagles Landing Middle School student who is CEO of Pitch Perfect Products, reports that YEA! is “perfect for any creative student ready to make their ideas come to life.”

“I would not have been able to start my business without the valuable resources and mentorship provided by the YEA! Program and the Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce,” adds Danny Nelson, a senior at Saint Andrew’s School who is CEO of Limelight Illuminations.

Seventh grader Rachel Zietz from Pine Crest School, who serves as CEO of lacrosse and soccer gear retailer MyLaxGirl.com, confirms “this program allows students to develop their entrepreneurial skills and get help from successful entrepreneurs.”

“The Young Entrepreneurs Academy has been an amazing experience and is a great stepping stone toward my future,” said Carly Manzella, Spiritually Fit creator and junior at Boca Raton Community High School.

For more information, students and parents should contact Beth Johnston, Boca Chamber Executive Vice President and YEA! Program Director, 561.395.4433 ext. 236 or bjohnston@bocaratonchamber.com.

“I DO” IN DELRAY - continued from page 17

been discussing for two years seriously promoting Downtown Delray Beach as a wedding destination. We began meeting in November discussing the opportunity of hosting a Bridal Show throughout Downtown and showcasing the different venues, restaurants and merchants that cater to weddings. The ‘I Do! In Delray’ was truly a brainstorming idea that was developed in one of the meetings,” said Simon.

The DeSilvio Group first organized a Facebook contest at the “I Do! in Delray Facebook page, where brides could write their proposal story for a chance to win a full bar package from Potions In Motion, one of many sponsors at the event. A team of DeSilvio Group women met the brides, grooms and mother-in-laws-to-be, beginning at 10 a.m. at the Hyatt Pineapple Grove. Victoria DeSilvio also served as the show’s producer.

For the next eight hours the bridal show parties were led from Hyatt Place over to the Arts Garage, where Potions In Motion showcased their coconut water and coconut rum cocktails. Prime Delray showcased hor d’oeuvres and SoLita Italian Restaurant showcased their private rooms, reception capability and rehearsal dinner options.

Donut Divas presented an Oreo cookie fried in Red Velvet Cake Batter. Now that’s what I call an appetizer to die for.

The brides and their entourages then went to a Weddings 101 workshop where they attended intimate classes featuring top wedding experts educating brides on how to avoid those camouflaged hidden costs, how to plan their dream weddings, and discover insider secrets and latest trends. One of those experts brought in was Steve Kemble: America’s Sassiest Lifestyle Guru. Kemble came from his hometown of Austin, Texas for the event and emceed the Arts Garage showcase portion and then The Runway in the Crest Theatre, where fashion icon Zola Keller hosted a couture fashion presentation of fabulous wedding gowns.

The Arts Garage’s Drew Tucker and In The Grove Hair Studio’s Ian Caven opened

up a room at the Delray Beach Center for the Arts where grooms grabbed a couple of beers and caught a Miami Heat Sunday afternoon playoff match-up against the Milwaukee Bucks. Tucker is the artistic director and percussion coach at the Arts Garage, and Caven, a hairdresser offering traditional men’s barber services, sponsored the event with their Bancroft Groom Service which makes sure the groomsmen and groom have everything they need.

“That can range from picking up their tux’s and making sure everything’s pressed, to a quick trim while they’re waiting for the wedding. We provide a total groom service,” said Caven.

Also featured during the “I Do! In Delray bridal show were world-renown celebrity and wedding hairstylists, and cosalon owners, Peter DeRosa and Mark Hasche, who gave a standing-room-only hair and makeup tutorial to future brides.

Then, it was back to the Delray Beach Center for the Arts at Old School Square for vendor presentations that included everything from The Sundy House as a destination wedding hub to Delray Beach Center for the Arts’ vintage gymnasium as a wedding reception venue.

Brides and their group enjoyed everything from travel agencies like Break Time Travel, eager to help with that special honeymoon, to local salons and Mary Kay Cosmetics. Adina’s Cakery was on-hand with tasty wedding cake samples, Eventz Photo

Booth let all the brides and their party try a series of fun photo booth photos, perfect for a wedding or large event. Even Fred Astaire Dance Studio and photographers Photo Mingle, Poirier Photography and Winston Delawar Photography were showcasing their wedding work.

“The DDA created a brochure to promote Downtown Delray as a wedding spot or a place to think about for a wedding. We have also designated a page on our website that will be a go to source for brides and wedding planners that are thinking about a Delray Beach wedding.

We now come up on their search for Florida Weddings!” Said Simon.

Futuristic Woo Designs tied the web marketing and web design together for the I Do! In Delray project, Aroma Espresso provided gourmet coffee and espresso, and the West Palm Beach Marriott gave a night stay away. There was even a neat bird release for brides by White Dove Release.

For a complete list of vendors and sponsors visit: www.IDoDelray.com.

JUNE 2013 • 25 Brides and those in attendance were then taken back to an after party with prizes, cocktails and more hor d’oeuvres at Hyatt Place in Pineapple Grove. Immersed in a café-style party at Hyatt Place, they also enjoyed special prize drawings, live entertainment and refreshments, and each bride was treated to Bride Pride where registered brides receive a Luxe Swag Bag filled with luscious prizes, discounts from the featured exhibitors, sponsors and local businesses.

U.S House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner’s daughter Lindsay was also recently married at The Sundy House to a local Delray Beach resident. Even the New York Daily News covered Delray Beach and Pineapple Grove as a destination wedding site.

I Do! In Delray will be back next year but now is the time to start thinking local about Delray Beach as a destination wedding.

DELTA SIGMA THETA NAMES GENESIS COMMUNITY HEALTH ‘KEEPER OF THE TORCH’ Medical clinic to be recognized on June 15 at Women of Excellence awards dinner BOYNTON BEACH, FL – Genesis Community Health has been selected as the recipient of the 2013 Women of Excellence “Keeper of the Torch Award” for its work as a community healthcare resource.

The Delta Heritage Foundation in partnership with the West Palm Beach Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. will recognize Genesis Community Health as an organization at its Women of Excellence Awards Dinner on June 15. The event will be held at 5:30 p.m. at the Palm Beach County Convention Center in West Palm Beach.

Genesis Executive Director DeAnna Warren

Every year, the local chapter celebrates outstanding leaders whose vision and service make a vital contribution to the lives of local citizens. Other award winners will be recognized for their work in the areas of the arts, business, education, health & wellness, humanitarianism and social action. Genesis was selected as a “Keeper of the Torch” for its mission of providing accessible, affordable and quality healthcare to the residents of Palm Beach County.

“We are proud and excited to be recognized as a group for our work,” said Genesis Executive Director DeAnna Warren. “On behalf of me, my staff and my board, we thank Delta Sigma Theta for the honor, and we are truly appreciative of the sorority’s award.”

Located at 564 E. Woolbright Road in Boynton Beach, Genesis Community is one of 219 health centers across the country that received Affordable Care Act funding in June 2012 to help expand access to care for more than 1.25 million additional patients and create approximately 5,640 jobs nationwide.

Genesis was formed in 2009 in response to a community needs assessment conducted by a consulting group that identified Boynton Beach as an area of need and that there was a severe lack of access to primary care for residents. This need was based upon evaluation of services available, high incidence of poverty and uninsured in the area, and high usage of the emergency room for primary care services.

It’s a no brainer . . . count me in

By Ed Maass The Pineapple Staff Writer During a conversation with my wife this weekend we realized that we pay more in insurance premiums currently then what our combined earnings were when we first married.

Could be a case of too much, but if, or when, you need it, can it really ever be too much?

Like us you probably have some, if not all, of these insurance coverage’s: Homeowners, Life, Disability, Car, Motorcycle, Boat, Health, Business, Professional, Umbrella and maybe even a little AFLAC. That said this list is certainly not all inclusive, and as a matter of fact, there is one insurance coverage in particular, that was left off. However before naming this insurance I’d like to pose a question to you.

• When was the last time an insurance company gave you money back for not using the coverage, i.e. filing a claim? You’ve driven your car for the past five years accident and ticket free…did you get any money back?

You’ve owned your home for ten years without a claim…get any money back?

I know my answer is NO…Never.

So wouldn’t it be unique if an insurance plan existed whereby if you do not use the benefit, the insurance company gives back every cent you deposited. Wouldn’t it be different that you also: • Have no annual premiums or potential premium increases.

• Maintain complete control over the asset.

• Can potentially leave more to your beneficiaries then you deposited, and do so tax free.

If at this point I have your attention, then you have an interest in what is known as a linked-benefit long term care solution. A plan whereby you are able to reposition a portion of your assets, and one in which will provide everything stated above and more. This coverage also provides for ongoing services and support that may be needed for those of us that develop chronic health conditions and/or require skilled care, intermediate or custodial care at some point in time.

For a better understanding of how this works, let’s look at an example: Mary, a healthy recently retired 65-yearold female, repositions $100,000 dollars from her low yielding CD account into a linked-

benefit long term care plan. That single premium is leveraged into a pool of $500,000 for long-term care expenses, which means that should she ever need care she will receive a benefit of $6,934 per month for six years. If Mary changes her mind and decides she wants out, she is guaranteed to get her full $100,000 premium back. If Mary dies without having used the benefit for care, and hasn’t previously withdrawn her funds then her beneficiaries would receive $166,407 income tax free.

You may be thinking this sounds great, and if I really thought that I would ever use or need something like this it would make sense to do. Here is a cold hard fact from the U.S Department of Health and Human Services: “40% of people will need long term care at some point during their lifetime after reaching age 65”. It is also important to note that even younger people may need this type of care as a result of a disabling accident and/or illness.

I know, I began this column by stating how much we pay for various insurance coverage’s and trust me, I’m not looking to help anyone become insurance poor, but if you can insure for a specific risk, and receive a full return of your funds if never needed, then for me, it’s a no brainer, count me in.

Be advised that not everyone can have this coverage. There are underwriting requirements to determine your current health status, and of course, you must have the funds available to reposition, but for those that do this, it is certainly something to learn more about. I suggest that you do your homework and you may be pleasantly surprised to find an insurance alternative that for a change can be a win-win situation for you.

DID YOU EVER WONDER ?

By Harvey Brown Special to The Pineapple

Question: Should I carry flood insurance?

Answer: If you live in South Florida, absolutely! There is often confusion about just what flood insurance is and when it is required.

First lets deal with the boring definition of flooding which is, “a general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of two or more acres of normally dry land area or of two or more properties (at least one of which is your property) from: A) overflow of inland or tidal waters; B) unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters from any source; and C) mud flow. DOES ANYONE SEE POTENTIAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROBLEMS FOR SOUTH FLORIDIANS?!

What the definition above means is that it doesn’t always take a hurricane to cause flood claims here. We can have a series of heavy rain showers (like we are having as this is being written!), causing flooding and flood claims. Those of you living miles inland (especially near canals and lakes) are

also vulnerable.

Remember, flood insurance covers against the hazard of rising water. This is different than “water damage” claims covered by a homeowner policy for say, a pipe break in a wall or a toilet tank leak.

Those are not considered rising water.

Recall after Hurricane Katrina when there were hundreds of claims against homeowners policies which were denied, because the direct damage to the home was caused by flooding, not wind. People without flood insurance were out of luck.

The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is in charge of flood insurance.

NFIP makes the rules and sets the rates, not the insurance industry and not the state of Florida.

Flood insurance is usually required if you have a mortgage and are in a higher risk flood zone (one determined more likely to flood by FEMA surveys.) There are numerous different types of flood zones, some being more hazardous than others.

Everyone is in a flood zone but not everyone is in a high hazard flood zone. Check with your agent – this is what we do.

What if the bank doesn’t require you to

JUNE 2013 • 27

Insurance Q & A carry flood insurance? We still say to buy the coverage as the premium cost is typically low, often just a few hundred dollars a year.

Finally, don’t wait. The only time you can get immediate flood coverage is for a real estate closing with a mortgage; otherwise there is a 30-day wait. No exceptions.

As we always say here each month, doing these things will give you that all-important peace of mind.

CARMEL REAL ESTATE & MANAGEMENT SELLS MAJOR DEVELOPMENT PARCEL DELRAY BEACH, FL – Carmel Real Estate & Management, a full-service

commercial real estate brokerage based in Delray Beach, successfully completed the sale of the Lake Worth Corners parcels, which comprise 7.65 acres – the equivalent of two city blocks - at the intersection of Lake Worth Road and Boutwell Road at the City of Lake Worth’s southwestern boundary.

These parcels, at the gateway to the City of Lake Worth and to the Lake Worth Park of Commerce, were marketed over a period of several years by Commercial Realtor Christina Morrison, P.A. They were annexed into the City of Lake Worth in 2006 with a high-density mixed-use zoning and were marketed for mixed commercial/residential development. The parcels were under Contract several times but, for a variety of reasons, did not close until this year.

The property has been purchased by Affordable Housing Solutions, LLC, based in Miami, Florida. AHS has submitted plans to develop 216 market-rate apartment homes in a lush garden setting with numerous amenities on the property. The development plans are currently in the approval process with the City of Lake Worth.

The apartment homes are being developed in accordance with TransitOriented Development guidelines; a bus stop will be located at the front of the property and a Tri-Rail station is located within 1/3 mile.

Downtown Lake Worth is approximately one mile from the property. A strong employment base is in walking and biking distance within the Park of Commerce, located just to the North of the Property.

Many of the homes will have expansive views of Lake Osbourne, located just south of the Property. A swimming pool and sun deck, bicycle parking, lake with walking path, barbeque areas and expansive, lush gardens are just part of the amenities designed into the Property.

According to Nichole Carosella, Commercial Realtor and Broker for Carmel Real Estate & Management, Inc., “Our firm has worked hard to bring the best development scenario possible for this important parcel to the City of Lake Worth. This development, as presented by AHS, will be a win-win for everyone involved and especially for the City and its’ residents.”

Christina Morrison, P.A. Commercial Real Property Consultant for Carmel states, “New residential rental homes are virtually non-existent within the City of Lake Worth presently. This beautifully-designed property will wonderfully fill that void. We are happy to have been a part of this process which will attractively transform the southwestern boundary of Lake Worth forever.”

For more information, visit their website www.carmelre.com or call 561-921-4188.

destinations International Polo Club Palm Beach Honored with Prestigious Tourism Award WELLINGTON, FL – The Palm Beach County Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) recognized the International Polo Club Palm Beach (IPC) with the prestigious 2013 Providencia Award, based on the organization’s significant and substantial impact on the destinations tourism industry.

The honor was fittingly awarded to John Wash, president of IPC, before a sellout crowd of tourism and hospitality leaders during the annual Tourism Day luncheon. National Travel and Tourism Week is a sanctioned campaign of the U.S. Travel Association, aimed at generating awareness of the importance of travel and tourism to the county.

“The Providencia Award is Palm Beach County’s most important symbol of recognition for the local tourism industry, which employs 45,000 county residents and contributes over $5 billion annually to the local economy,” said CVB President and CEO Jorge Pesquera. “I could not think of a better time to celebrate this award, its recipient, and the many, very worthy nominees, than today, when industry representatives from around the country are rallying together to recognize the extraordinary, economic contribution of tourism here in the United States.”

The International Polo Club Palm Beach was chosen as one of three finalists by the CVB’s Providencia Committee, who evaluated and scored 15 different nominations. Those three finalists were then put to a public vote on PalmBeachPost.com, The Palm Beach Post’s source for online news. Voters were given the opportunity to review an overview and a brief video, produced by The Palm Beach Post’s online team, for each of the three finalists before casting their votes. This year’s finalists included Lynn University, The Honda Classic, and the International Polo Club Palm Beach.

“The International Polo Club is home to America’s triple crown – the three highest rated polo tournaments on the continent: the USPA C.V. Whitney Cup, the Piaget USPA Gold Cup, and the USPA U.S. Open Polo Championship. And now, we couldn’t be happier to be home to the 2013 Providencia Award. Our 10th anniversary season broke all records. Winning the Providencia Award is truly the icing on the cake. We thank everyone for their support,” John Wash said.

There were 12 other nominees for this year’s Providencia Award, including Delray Beach Marketing Cooperative, Palm Beach International Boat Show, Maltz Jupiter Theatre, Equestrian Sport Productions’ CEO, Mark Bellissimo, Palm Beach Food & Wine Festival, and the Palm Beach International Raceway.

“In 2013, Palm Beach County’s tourism industry will generate more than $5 billion for the local economy, recording triple growth over the past three decades,” said Jorge Pesquera. “It is a truly incredible sign of our industry’s resilience that we have made a full recovery after some challenging economic times, and are close to our all-time peaks in virtually every tourism performance category.”

The Bespoke Experience that is Peter Island

Story and images by Jule Guaglardi Special to The Pineapple

P

oised like a well-groomed schoolboy, properly attired and well-behaved, Peter Island lies elegantly, luxuriously and reliably perfect to the naked eye.

However, like the curious twinkle in the schoolboy’s eye, and beneath his unpretentious air of sophistication, Peter Island bares secrets of mischief, pirates and fabulous buried treasure.

The 1800 acre island (in the British Virgin Islands), rests along the Francis Drake Channel, named for the buccaneer who frequented these waters, concealed in secret bays awaiting the opportunity to strike the Spanish ships baring cargo steeped in riches.

In the 17th century however, pirates and their hidden treasures gave way to European owned cotton plantations - albeit short lived with the eventual abolition of slavery.

With a brief revival in the 1920’s in the way of tobacco farms, much of the island remained uninhabited until the late 1960’s.

It was during this time when Norwegian millionaire, Peter Smedwig, fell bedazzled with the island, purchasing the majority of the land to execute a most luxurious hideaway.

Museum of Discovery and Science announces popular Sea Turtle Walks scheduled for June and July 2013 Participants will have a chance to watch a 300 pound Loggerhead sea turtle venture out of the ocean to lay her eggs FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – This summer, the Museum of Discovery and Science will host the annual evening Turtle Walks in June and July. The whole family is invited to participate in an evening of discovery while uncovering the natural history and myths of turtles. Nature permitting, participants will have a chance to watch a 300 pound Loggerhead sea turtle venture out of the ocean to lay her eggs.

A female loggerhead sea turtle may travel thousands of miles to return to the beach where she hatched as a baby to lay her own eggs as an adult.

The loggerhead sea turtle is found in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans as well as the Mediterranean Sea and is a protected species. It spends most of its life in saltwater and estuarine habitats, with females briefly coming ashore to lay eggs. The loggerhead sea turtle has a low reproductive rate; females lay an average of four egg clutches and then become quiescent, producing no eggs for two to three years. The loggerhead has a lifespan of 30-60 years.

At 9:00 p.m., the adventure begins at the Museum of Discovery and Science with an informative hands-on session about turtles

The Pineapple delray beach newspaper

Call 561-299-1430 to advertise today!

Museum of Discovery and Science Life Science Manager, Matthew Dumler, showcases the Museum’s Ambassador loggerhead sea turtle

(land, fresh water and salt water) with an expanded focus on sea turtles. Guests will also meet the Museum’s Ambassador Loggerhead sea turtle who is almost one year old. Once it reaches an appropriate size it will be released in the ocean. Museum staff will provide answers to questions about nesting, threats and conservation before proceeding to the beach.

The adventure continues to Fort Lauderdale beach where Museum expert guides lead guests to the sea turtle’s nesting grounds to look for amazing sea turtles. We cannot guarantee a sea turtle will be spotted on every walk but when it does happen it is a natural wonder that no one will ever forget.

Guests should be prepared to walk approximately one to two miles, and provide their own transportation and snacks.

Participants must be 9 years of age or older.

Advance reservations are required as space is limited. Please call 954.713.0930 to make reservations. Prices are $18 for members and $20 for non-members.

For more information call 954.467.MODS (6637) or visit our web site at www.mods.org 2013 Turtle Walk Dates June 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, 25, 26 July 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16

A brave and cumbersome task, Smedwig dredged vast amounts of sand and rock mounted atop a coral reef to reclaim the land of Spray Bay. He crafted a water supply, electricity, carved roads and shipped in A-frame chalets and building materials from Norway. He adorned the grand ensemble with a clubhouse and marina – and this would birth the epitome of privacy, tranquility and unpretentious luxury that defines Peter Island.

Smedwig sadly passed in 1979, leaving behind an elegant, however unstuffy, 32-

room hotel and a vision of a secluded, tranquil paradise to be enjoyed by a select few. The resort was eventually purchased by a Michigan-based company, which had thankfully honored Smedwig’s image.

Further pursuing a tropical hideaway for those seeking pampered serenity.

Today, the Peter Island Resort & Spa is genuinely a heavenly escape - with its raw, natural beauty in tact. With a 2 to 1 staff to guest ratio, you are cared for every step of the way. In addition to spectacular sea and landscapes to captivate your senses, the property has taken the liberty to invent the “Island Host” program to captivate the rest of you.

This brilliant concept assigns a personal caregiver to bring to life your every Peter Island wish. From unpacking your island necessities to organizing your holiday itinerary - from assuring every in-room amenity is to your liking to planning your private island picnic, lunch, candlelit dinner or a champagne sunset escape – no matter the desired experience, the warm and engaging staff is always one step ahead.

Frequented by the most discerning of travelers and glitterati alike, the Peter Island Resort & Spa overlooks not a single detail bestowing upon its guests such bespoke features as providing 2 Ayurvedic physicians on staff, instituting a no fly zone upon request, an island vacation buyout upon request, a helicopter landing pad, and a long list of other special attention offerings.

In addition to the oceanfront rooms and beachfront suites, there are three uniquely and beautifully appointed villas to choose from, each commanding a different, and equally spectacular view.

There are 5 sugary sand beaches, 6 bays, 20 secluded coves, 30 dive sites within a 20 minute boat ride, yacht charters, bareboat charters, day trips, helicopter tours, deep sea fishing, and on and on and on.

It is hard to say whether it’s the private island experience, the sinfully indulgent and magnificently relaxing spa, a menu that can be tailored to your liking, your own private island host catering to your every whim, the outrageously beautiful scenery that abounds in every direction, the mystery of lost pirate treasure, or the long, fabulous list of bespoke features that make Peter Island Resort & Spa such an ideal escape – and I suppose that is for every individual to decide for him or herself. Either way, your island paradise awaits, tailor-made just for you!

Planning your Bike Storage Rooms - A bike storage facility at your condo, apartment complex, residence or workplace can be one of the most used areas on the property.

More people are using cycling as a way to stay healthy, save money, and stay out of traffic jams. Because of the increased numbers of bicycle commuters, there is a rising need and responsibility to provide adequate bike parking at your facility. Having the right plan for your Bike Room will ensure it is a convenient and efficient space to store bicycles securely.

Location - The right location can ensure convenience as well as added security. Locate the room near an exit and avoid any steps or narrow hallways cyclists would have to navigate.

Handicap accessible doors can be helpful for getting bikes into the building. If you have an automatic door already, try to utilize it as a bike entrance.

Floor Plan - Although you may be tempted to fit as many bikes as possible in the space, not providing enough walkway space in the room can make it difficult to move and park bikes. A five to six foot walkway is ideal, but where space is tight, a 48-inch minimum is recommended. A six-inch clearance from the wall is recommended to provide adequate space for bikes in the last bike position adjacent to walls. While mechanical fixtures like low hanging pipes, support beams, and electrical or plumbing access points may not always be present, proper planning can make sure affected space is efficiently utilized.

Security - Limiting the access of the Bike Room to authorized users will drastically reduce the possibility of theft. If the site is in an open space, like a parking garage or warehouse, a chain link cage can be a simple, low cost solution to add security. Be sure the site has adequate lighting and consider the use of security cameras.

A well-planned Bike Room that is secure, convenient and easy to use will encourage more people to ride. If you would like assistance planning a Bike Room send an email to prkmgr@sarisparking.com, or call 1-800-783-7257.

THE HEAT IS ON THIS SUMMER WITH BLOCKBUSTERS

By Deborah Frank Executive Vice President, Frank Investments The month of June delivers a sizzling lineup of summer blockbusters. Where to begin?

The end of the month delivers what promises to be two summer hits - The Heat, starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy, and White House Down. In The Heat the girls break out their own buddy moves when uptight FBI agent (Bullock) is teamed with a rather unusual Boston police officer (played by triple threat McCarthy). You will laugh and laugh some more...these two are quite a pair!

White House Down features Jamie Foxx as the President, protected by hunk Channing Tatum. I can’t wait to see that one myself.

You don’t have to fast-forward to the end of June, as the month is filled with high octane popcorn pictures, including the rollicking comedy from the always funny duo Vince Vaughan and Owen Wilson in The Internship, where they play the oldest-ever interns at an internet company. This Is The End is a star-studded comedy headlined with Seth Rogen in a comic riff about the end of the world.

Man of Steel introduces a new hard body to the Superman franchise...early footage suggests a blockbuster for our must-see list.

And, in a dual role as producer and star, Brad Pitt toplines World War Z where humans fight to prevail over zombies. Chilling and thrilling…it’s on my short list as well.

For the kiddies and the child in all of us, don’t miss Monsters University. It’s animated, adorable and cast with some of the funniest actors around. Fans of independent film will enjoy Much Ado About Nothing that puts the “shake” into Shakespeare and The Bling Ring, a story ripped from the headlines when

a group of 20-somethings decide to rob their favorite celebrities...should be interesting!

See you at the movies!

Beat the heat this summer at Frank Theatres CineBowl & Grille at Delray Marketplace 10 a.m. Mondays – Thursdays for $1 animated family favorite features. Also offered during these showings only will be special $3 popcorn/beverage combos.

Summer schedule June 3 – 6: Rio June 10 – 14: Puss N Boots June 17 – 20 How to Train Your Dragon June 24 – 27 Madagascar 3 July 1 – 3: Rise of the Guardians July 8 – 11: Hotel Transylvania July 15 – 18: Despicable Me July 22 – 25: Kung Fu Panda 2 July 29 – Aug 1: Ice Age: Aug. 5 – Aug. 8: Monsters vs. Aliens Tickets can be reserved ahead of time on-line at www.franktheatres.com or at the theatre.

Deborah Frank is a third generation member of the family owned and operated Frank Theatres. She has served as juror for several years on the Palm Beach International Film Festival. You can catch her as a guest every Thursday at 11:30 am on Barbara Altman’s Front Porch on talk radio WOND 1400 in the Atlantic City market where she talks movies and fields calls from the listeners.

Pineapple Grove - Delray Beach

It is quite possible that Jay DePalma, a 51 year old, Cuban American artist, is as much an iconic character as the famous faces he portrays from the 1940’s and 50’s.

Strongly resembling Nathan Lane’s unforgettable role as Miss Albert Goldman in the 1996 comedy, The Birdcage, DePalma has poignantly walked the line between being outrageously, adorably and loving eccentric in his demeanor and style whilst perfecting a masterful hand at fine art.

DePalma spent his early years in Havana, Cuba in the northern Caribbean, and joined his family (mother, father and older brother) to the bustling city of Coral Gables in late 1965 at the age of five. Still very young, the change of environment had little effect on the artistic skills that he had been cultivating, winning his first art award at the tender age of four, and continuing to do so year after year.

His greatest inspirations were the influences he was exposed to right in his own home, his grandmother’s love of classic films and old Hollywood glamour, combined with his mother’s affection for fragile antiques.

DePalma’s works reflect the unmistakable grace and sophistication found during this period. A time when men and women dramatically portrayed their roles, feminine or masculine, to an almost exaggerated level, a time when manners were imminent and the world seemed somehow more visibly defined.

Understanding that he was different from a young age was both a gift and a curse, as DePalma’s differences were apparent in both his talent and his sexuality – both proving to bring him exuberant joy and tremendous grief all at once.

As a young child DePalma’s skill-set in the arts far exceeded the other children around him, parents became jealous and before long he was unable to enter in art competitions amongst his peers. This was a discouraging and unfair reality for a child to deal with, combined with a growing and quite obvious hormonal change during his early teens, affording DePalma the opportunity to display himself more comfortably, perhaps, as a girl than a boy.

He faced harsh ridicule, was condemned by many and lost even the closest of childhood family and friends due to a simple lack of understanding or compassion that this was, in a word, his “destiny”.

This was who DePalma would become, not by choice, not by environment but by natural law. And with that internal, innate understanding he forgave, he buried his pain and pressed forward, focusing on his art and continuing to further cultivate his magnificent talent while doing his very best to set aside those who didn’t understand or better yet, didn’t know any better.

Eventually, DePalma broke through the school-year phase of feeling as though his hands had been tied behind his back, and pushed onward to gallery showings, art exhibitions, and creating a name for himself as a rare talent in the world of fine art.

Today, Jay DePalma resides in our seaside village of Delray Beach. He has a quaint cottage in the middle of town where visitors can view and purchase his pieces - and if they’re lucky, watch the master at work.

Admittedly, DePalma does the majority of his creating locked away for days or weeks on end, staying up through the night and giving his heart and soul to his creations.

During a chat, D e P a l m a explained that he has a rather child-like and yet profound tradition before revealing his pieces – strawberry pop tarts and meditation, where he transfers his energy to the character he wishes to bring to life on his canvas. Practically an oxymoron, I know, and yet it works.

He can work in any medium and can be commissioned to sketch or paint anything you wish. His preferred works include varying portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Marlene Dietrich and many others. Prices on DePalma’s pieces are available on request.

Jay DePalma, a man of tremendous passion and talent, I am thrilled to call you my friend. Your work inspires, it moves, it exudes grace, glamour, sorrow and exhilaration and above all, it allows a little bit of you to shine through.

Thank you for making the world a more beautiful place.

Play It! Master Musicians Take the Stage

A

rts Garage is renowned for featuring “musician’s musicians,” and June’s schedule soars with talent, featuring a diverse array of rhythms and beats ranging from Sinatra to sultry, swing to Son Cubano.

“I’m so excited about this month’s line up,” said Alyona Ushe, Executive Director of Arts Garage. “It’s all about high-energy shows and dynamic performers.”

June also features a very special celebration of Judy Garland’s birthday. To commemorate this day, on June 10th, Arts Garage is offering a ONE DAY ONLY 10% discount on tickets to their summer production about the life of the legendary star.

Beginning July 19th, Theatre at Arts Garage will present History Theatre’s production of BEYOND THE RAINBOW: GARLAND AT CARNEGIE HALL by William Randall Beard, music arranged by David Lohman.

The time is April 23, 1961, when a 38-year-old Garland performed at Carnegie Hall in what the New York Times called “the concert of the century.” The setting is both on the stage of Carnegie Hall and in Judy Garland’s mind.

This is an unforgettable musical portrait of a child actor turned Hollywood star who captivated a nation with her spectacular talent and tumultuous life. It features 24 of Garland’s greatest hits, including “Get Happy,” “That’s Entertainment,” “The Trolley Song,” and of course, “Over the Rainbow.”

“Judy Garland’s life was a quintessential American life” said Lou Tyrrell, Artistic Director of Theatre at Arts Garage. “From Hollywood child star to the icon who gave it all on the stage of Carnegie Hall, we felt that her triumphs and tragedies were our own, and we embraced her as if she were a member of our own family. Beyond the Rainbow tells her story, but it also tells America’s story through the turbulent years of the mid-20th Century.

It’s the story and the music of an era to be cherished and savored.”

You will not want to miss this show! To receive the one-day special pricing, simply enter “Judy” as the promotion code on the website, or mention “Judy” when you call for tickets.

Group ticket discounts are also available for the run of the play, please email Caroline@ artsgarage.org for details.

Also for theatre lovers, Arts Garage Summer Tune-Up series is a new initiative of The Theatre at Arts Garage to provide the greater Delray Beach community with an immersion into the newest work in American musical theatre being written today. If you are a musical theatre fan, but are tired of a constant diet of the old “war-horses,” and have been wondering what our best and brightest young musical theatre talent has been creating, these four new musicals, performed in a play-reading concert format, with scripts in hand, will illuminate the innovative musical and playwriting styles that are coming from the minds and imaginations of these extraordinary playwright/composers.

Hair Styles HERE COMES THE FRIZZ!

By Dianne E. Adams Special to The Pineapple Summer in South Florida is great, our streets, restaurants, stores and salons become ours again. It’s also the time that our hair becomes possessed! The humidity takes frizz to a whole new level. Just walking out the door can turn the perfect blow dry into a frizzy mess!

But girls (& some boys) have no fear, your stylist can fix it. You can be saved from a summer of unruly hair! March into your salon and tell your stylist, you need a Keratin Treatment.

You may ask, what is a Keratin Treatment? Here are some simple answers to the complicated questions people have about Keratin Treatments.

• A Keratin Treatment is a professional service performed at a salon, that penetrates the cuticle layer of your hair to reduce frizz and curl.

• Keratin is protein, it is what your hair and nails are made of.

• A great time to get a Keratin Treatment is during your color, or highlight service. The treatment will seal in your color, close the cuticle of your hair and make your color even more vibrant • A Keratin Treatment can repair damage & block the effects of humidity making your hair smoother with each treatment. It also cuts drying time & makes blow drying a snap!

• Some Keratin Treatments do not break the internal bond structure of your hair. What that means for you is your hair is not left lifeless and flat. Your hair will be silky smooth with volume intact.

• Not all Keratin Treatments are born equal. Talk to your stylist about what product they are using. If your stylist is wearing a mask, maybe your should think twice!

• There are different price point options. Ask you stylist to recommend the best treatment for you and your lifestyle. Prices

can range from $100 and up depending on the density of your hair, length as well as product choice.

• Yes, you must use the proper shampoo and products! Guys, we stylists are not just “trying to sell you something”. We make product suggestions for very specific reasons.

One them being we want your hair to look as beautiful when you do it , as when we finish it at the salon. Please use sodium chloride and sulfate free products after your Keratin Treatment. It will help prolong the life of your treatment and keep your hair looking beautiful longer.

• Depending on the treatment you choose the longevity of a Keratin can vary from 5 weeks to 5 - 6 months. The beauty if that your hair doesn’t have to grow out, your treatment will slowly fade away. Eventually you will realize that your blow drys aren’t as smooth and the frizz creeps back in, then you will know it is time for another treatment.

When I do a Keratin Treatment on one of my guests for the first time I always tell them to get ready for a “life changing” experience!

This may sound overboard, but trust me if you have not enjoyed the benefits of a Keratin Treatment you just don’t know what you and your hair are missing! Book an appointment today with your favorite stylist and live “frizz free” all summer!

“On To The Next Level” Question

I’ve been seeing a guy who has several attractive friends of the opposite sex. He has stated that they are too young and he is just not interested in them, nor has he ever had a relationship or “hooked up” with any of them in the past. I completely trust him. We have been dating for months now, and he is all mine. I really like all of his friends. Recently, however, two of the girls started acting strangely. They are best friends (sisters, actually). One was rude to me and one flirts with my boyfriend (both in person and on Facebook).

My question: How do I handle myself when I need to be around these two people I don’t like? I try not to let it bother me, but these girls make me so uncomfortable that I want to leave or avoid social situations. We are both very social, so being together with everyone is important to both of us. Thoughts?

Answer

This is a tough predicament. These girls are his friends, you probably want to get along with them, and they are making it impossible.

I know you have been seeing him for some months, but in some ways, you probably seem relatively new to his group of friends.

When you’re seeing someone new, you are obviously worried about their feelings, but their friends’ opinions are important too. Whenever I have gotten involved with someone new, or a friend brings a new romantic interest into the group, I always try to reach out to the ‘new friends’ because it goes a long way and it shows you care about the ‘old friends’. It’s a shame these girls have been difficult, because if they had been pleasant, they might have made a new friend, it could have been more fun, and, for your purposes, probably would have helped settle your initial discomfort with your boyfriend’s friend group. However, the opposite has occurred and a potentially positive relationship has soured.

I imagine from their perspective, they see an old friend that just cut off communication with them because he has a new girlfriend.

He might not have explained why, and they probably, rightly or wrongly, blame you.

They might also just see you as the girl who swooped in and took a man they were interested in, and they are jealous, vile girls.

They might even think they are sticking up for their friend based on something that you might have done.

Rather than giving up on these girls, which you probably have a right to do, it might not be too late to salvage it. And for your boyfriend’s sake you probably should.

It’s important that you said ‘our’ hobbies.

They aren’t just you and your boyfriend’s hobbies, these girls are part of the group as well. Maybe you can relate to them independently of you and your boyfriend’s relationship. Try killing them with kindness, and even though it might be difficult, be genuine. You can never lose by being the bigger person. Remember, these are the friends of someone who you care for deeply, and it is unlikely they are absent of all good qualities. Even though it’s tough, keep a stiff upper lip, and try and get along with them.

Finally, I am happy your new boyfriend has been open and responsive to your feelings, but I will warn you about pushing too hard on his current friendships. These girls seem to be pains, but don’t forget they have a relationship with him as well. He will appreciate it if you try and remedy the situation on your own, and I am sure he would be happiest if you ended up winning them over. If their unbearable actions continue after you have done your best, tell him you are going to ignore them and why, and do so.

I’ll never ask you to get rid of your troglodyte friends, just promise to write in at Thenjackhappened@gmail.com

Q: WHAT IS HAIR COLOR? A:

Seemingly a simple question right? So why is there such a long answer….Sit back and try to soak it in: Your hair is a mixture of 3 colors; red yellow, and blue. These are the primary colors. Secondary colors are orange, green, and violet. If you look at the “wheel” a color opposite (directly across) will “cancel out” that color. This means if your hair is an orange color - green will make it a brown color. If you hair has a yellow tone, violet will cancel it out.

Underlying color + Artificial color = Final result Different levels of Hair Color L1=Black • L2=Very Dark Brown • L3=Dark Brown L4=Brown • L5=Medium Brown • L6=Light Brown • L7=Dark Blonde L8=Light Blonde • L9=Very Light Blonde • L10=Light Platinum Blonde

Types of Hair color: Semi-permanent color -- This product adds color without changing natural color dramatically. The hair color contains tiny color molecules that enter the hair’s cuticle, or outer layer, and go into your hair’s cortex. They don’t interact with your natural pigments. And since the molecules are small, they eventually exit the hair shaft after several shampoos, leaving the hair as it was before treatment. This level generally lasts for 6 to 12 shampoos, covers up to 50 percent gray, enhances your natural color and leaves no roots. This hair coloring won’t lighten your hair color because it contains no ammonia or peroxide.

Demi-permanent color -- This product level lasts longer, through 24 to 26 shampoos.

In this process, pre-color molecules penetrate the cuticle and enter the cortex where they then partner to create medium-sized color molecules. Their larger size means they take longer to wash out. These products do not contain ammonia so the natural pigment can’t be lightened. However, it contains a small amount of peroxide, which allows for a subtle, but noticeable, color enhancement. It also blends and covers gray. (Both semiand demi-permanent colors can become permanent on permed or already-colored hair!)

Permanent color -- This is what you need for a more significant color change (to go from black to blond, you’ll still need to go with a process called double process blonding and it’d be wise to get this it done professionally). In this level, both ammonia and peroxide are used. Tiny molecules enter all the way into the cortex, where they react and expand to a size that cannot be washed out. Your hair actually has to grow out over time. This product acts to lighten the hair’s natural pigment to form a new base and then to add a new permanent color. The end result is a combination of your natural hair pigment and the new shade you chose. That means the color may appear different on you than on someone else using the same color. (That’s why the “strand test” is so important -) Regular touch-ups of 4 to 6 weeks are generally needed to eliminate roots -- hair with your natural color growing at half an inch per month from your scalp.

Highlights consist of selecting small or thick strands of hair that are then lightened at least 2 shades lighter than the rest of your hair. Highlights should complement your natural or artificial color. One misconception of highlighting is that highlights are only blonde in color. This is not true. If your color is a level 3 (dark black/brown) you can add highlights that are a level 6 (medium brown). You should never go more than 3 shades lighter than the rest of your hair color. The object of highlighting is to give you a sun-kissed look and to bring depth and light to your overall color. If you color and highlight, it is not necessary to highlight every time you color. Opt for highlight every other color appointment.

Before any permanent color can be deposited into the hair shaft, the cuticle, or outer layer, must be opened. The insoluble formula then reacts with the cortex, or middle layer, to deposit or remove the natural pigment. The color is available in a variety of forms; creams, gels or tubes, or shampoos. These will not permanently change the hair color until they are part of an oxidation chemical reaction.

The Oxidizing Agent or Developer is hydrogen peroxide in one of various forms and strengths. The strength of the developer - is determined by the desired results and the manufacturer’s directions.

Hopefully you have a better understanding to how your stylist achieves the color level that “you” desire. With this, Knowledge is Power. You never know, you just might be able to challenge your Colorist at a few things. Enjoy!

The Food Beat’s Food Woofers visits of Delray Beach Hi, my name is Big Joe Stout and I am the host of Food Woofers, “the head to head smack down of chow down” only on TheFood Beat.com. We visit Delray Beach restaurants that have a knack for significant portions of amazing food and pit two contestants (woofers) to see who can finish first. The winner claims fame, cash, and a full belly.

Our very first episode took place at one of Delray Beach’s best kept secrets, Zio’s. For our non Italian readers, Zio’s mean “Uncle” in Italian. Cool name for a cool joint owned and run by family.

The proprietors, the Conigliaro’s, Patriarch Pat, and sons Matt and Nick have been serving up great food for years on the southeast corner of Military and Atlantic. Ave. Zio’s is a counter service/dine in/take out restaurant with a heavy focus on homemade.

They cook their own turkey and beef on premise, and fresh is delivered daily. Food quality is top

tier here, and the specialty is Philly Cheese Steaks. Certainly one of the finest Philly’s in the area, the Conigliaro boys pile on fresh rib eye that is chopped while cooking, for extreme tenderness. Freshly sautéed onions, peppers, and mushrooms are piled onto a bakery fresh roll along with the generous portion of grilled steak. Of course, what Philly Cheese Steak would be complete without cheese?

That would be like making Eggs Benedict without the eggs. Or shrimp cocktail without the shrimp. Or...you get the idea. At Zio’s, you have your choice of the traditional Cheese Wiz, or fresh Provolone or Swiss.

But Zio’s is no one trick pony. The menu is as diverse as David Bowies wardrobe. Zio’s could be known as “Lord of the Rings” for their colossal onion rings, and the chicken wings, fries, and jalapeño bites are all grade A. For those a little more concerned about calories (God only knows why) Zio’s has a nice line up of salads and wraps. Thirsts are handled well with a typical line up of nonalcoholic beverages and for those wanting a grander quenching adventure, ice cold beer is also readily available.

So what would our two Food Woofers be consuming for this festive and frolicking feast?

Two words: Bad. Patrick.

Oh yeah...The Bad Patrick is a big ole mass of burger love...about a three pound sandwich

that practically utters the words “dare ya.”

Named after founding father “Patrick,” this is a burger to be avoided by vegetarians and wimps.

The Bad Patrick is three half-pound patties of freshly ground chuck, grilled to perfection and smothered in cheese. The three patties are aligned ever so carefully on a full size cheese steak roll, and then buried in an avalanche of French fries, onion rings, tomato, lettuce and topped with Zio’s zesty homemade hot sauce.

Yes..it’s ridic-licious, and one could possibly feed a family of four, but on this day, two woofers took the challenge and only one walked away a champion. Log on to The Food Beat.com to learn more about Zio’s and to witness the battle as it played out in front of The Food Beat camera crew.

Zio’s has seating for about 20 normal sized people, and the entire menu is available for takeout.

FLAVOR

SUNDY HOUSE CREATES GARDEN-INSPIRED COCKTAIL

GROVE STREET

Sundy House has introduced Grove Street ($11), a garden-inspired cocktail created by Michael Richards, Beverage Manager, working closely with Executive Chef Lindsay Autry.

The cocktail includes ginger flower vodka made from ginger flowers found in the Sundy House exquisite Taru Gardens. Sundy House will create weekly garden inspired cocktails throughout the summer using flowers and elements grown on property. The Grove Street is available for $7 during Happy Hour, Tuesdays-Thursdays from 5 to 9 p.m.

“The gardens at Sundy House are filled with beautiful, unusual flowers and fruits that make for interesting and deliciously different cocktails,” Chef Lindsay Autry said.

Grove Street Cocktail Recipe 1 oz lemon balm rum 1 oz grapefruit cordial .5 oz ginger flower vodka** .5 oz lime juice 1 oz sparkling wine 5 dashes Bittermens Burlesque Bitters Combine all ingredients, except sparkling wine. Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Top with sparkling wine.

JUNE Summer is the thirstiest season and I will definitely be quenching my thirst with Lagunitas Lil Sumpin’ Sumpin’ Ale. Lil Sumpin’ Sumpin Ale is a wheat/American IPA blend that’s loaded with citrusy hops and brewed with three different types of wheat.

I think the peach/apricot notes mixed with the citrus and piney hops make it a perfect beer for a hop head during summer.
