I hope everyone enjoyed your summer. For me, fall means hello to football season and goodbye to a summer spent as a baseball widow (since I lack any and all enthusiasm for my husband’s beloved Red Sox.) A University of Miami grad, I can now turn my attention to rooting for the ‘Canes. Of course, since my son is a Florida State graduate, I try to support the Seminoles too. At any rate, I look forward to the fun family rivalry. What are you looking forward to this fall? If there’s something you’d like to see included in an upcoming issue, we’ll do our best to incorporate your suggestion, and if you’re involved in a local not-forprofit or charity, we’d be happy to promote that organization’s event or simply help bring awareness to the cause. Even as you and your family trade the lazy days of summer for the hectic pace of school functions, fundraisers, charity events, seasonal visitors etc., remember to take time for yourself. Grab a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, put your feet up and spend a few minutes enjoying YOUR neighborhood magazine!

Fall in South Florida is filled with family fun, cooler weather and pumpkins. To celebrate the arrival of the season, as well as the return of our seasonal residents, the Town of Jupiter will host its annual Fall Fest on October 7, 2017. The event has something for everyone. For all the little pumpkins, there will be a kids’ carnival featuring bounce houses, a hay ride, an activity map and face painting. For the adults, the event will showcase many local vendors selling all sorts of wares, from boutique clothing to hand-made crafts. Come hungry because there will be plenty of local food vendors and an
Octoberfest-style beer garden. As you relax with your food, you’ll enjoy live music by Whiskey Six, one of South Florida's favorite local country bands. While they mainly play modern country, don't be surprised to hear some Cash, Strait, Yoakam or other country classics thrown in. All you animal lovers out there will enjoy the Halloween costume show for dogs, spotlighting some of our cutest local adoptable pets. The Town of Jupiter’s Fall Fest is an event too good to miss!

Home Again By Darla Parris Smallwood
In 1988, Christina Schilero’s dad said “No more!” to shoveling snow from the family’s Detroit driveway, and the Schilero family relocated to Palm Beach Gardens’ PGA National neighborhood. Christina, the daughter of podiatrist Dr. John Schilero and (now retired) nurse Fern Schilero, was just three years old at the time of the move. She can’t imagine having grown up in a better place. Palm Beach Gardens, says Christina, is an ideal setting, complete with great weather and a wonderful community feeling. “And PGA National is perfect for families. As a kid, I was surrounded by the same friends, from pre-school right up through high school. Our house was kind of the central house where everyone would meet up before a football game or whatever activity we were headed off to. And if I wanted to visit a friend’s house, I didn’t even have to leave the neighborhood!” It’s not hard to understand why, after graduation from Palm Beach Gardens High School, Christina matriculated at Florida Atlantic University, less than 50 miles down the road. Initially thinking that she wanted to work in medical/ hospital administration, she studied 8

business, earning her degree in healthcare administration. However, during her senior externship, she worked in administration at local surgery center. She was disappointed to learn that such work truly was all business, allowing her no meaningful interaction with patients. “Suddenly I knew that I wanted to be hands-on, I wanted to treat and help people,” Christina explains. Christina was ready to continue her studies, and this time she traveled all the way to Ohio to do so, earning her Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree (DPM) at Kent State University College of Podiatric Medicine. She subsequently completed her residency at West Houston Medical Center in Texas. “But I always knew that I would come back home. For one thing, it’s where my family is, and, honestly, how can you beat living here?” So, in July 2016, Christina returned to her childhood home to live with her parents and begin her fellowship at The Paley Orthopedic and Spine Institute at St. Mary’s Medical Center. The institute provides technologically advanced treatments to improve the lives of those who suffer from congenital, developmental, and post-traumatic orthopedic conditions. The world-renowned center specializes in limb deformity correction and lengthening, spinal deformity correction, joint preservation and advanced pediatric orthopedics.
Their treatment philosophy focuses on reconstruction over amputation, with a commitment to preserving limbs and joints and restoring function. “My work is huge part of life right now. I’m continuing my Continued page 10

training while working with pediatric limb deformity correction, under the supervision of expert physicians at the institute. The kids I see are so amazing and resilient. They come in with horrible deformities, and it’s so rewarding to be a part of helping them and just seeing them smile,” says Christina. When she finds herself with free time – which isn’t often these days – Christina enjoys golfing, going to the beach, and spending time with family. Her younger brother Michael works in finance in New York, but the siblings manage to get together every couple of months.

“He usually comes here to see my parents and me because it’s easier for just one person to travel, but my parents grew up in New York City, and much of Dad’s side of the family is still there, so we like to visit there as well.” Christina also likes to hang out with her nine-year-old Golden Retriever, Cooper. An avid sports fan, Christina grew up watching sports with her father, and played both basketball and softball in high school, and intramural basketball even through undergraduate school and podiatry school. “I especially love football and do pretty well participating in fantasy football every year.” If she had to choose a “dream” career, says Christina, she’d be an ESPN sportscaster. “But I’m so dedicated to what I actually do. I love helping people.” On October 1, 2017, with her fellowship training completed, she will join the Paley Institute as an attending physician. She will focus on deformity correction from the knee down. “I’m so excited to have the opportunity to stay and continue to work there.” ————————————————————————————————————— Do you have a story to share, or do you know a neighbor who does?

Key Elements Your Team-Building Activity Needs By Ricardo Santiago, LMHC, Co-Owner/Co-Founder, EPIC Adventures Therapy LLC
At EPIC Adventures, we are committed to developing the most innovative, thought-provoking, impactful and fun activities to help build your team morale, increase productivity and effectiveness and grow your business. These elements are key to team-building success: Trust: Participants must be willing to let down their guards and engage, which requires a level of trust. Once team members trust the environment, facilitator and one another, they are more inclined to trust the activity’s process. Trusting strangers is hard; trust has to be allowed to develop; leaders and peers can’t force people to become “instant” teams. Collaboration: Members have to be on the same page and commit to an agreed-upon process. Prioritizing cooperative engagement and assuring command of respective roles and responsibilities, group norms, decisionmaking and problem-solving processes is essential. Fun: Activities succeed when people laugh and let go of the content, which is merely the vehicle for prompting conversation, connection and vulnerability. If people aren’t enjoying themselves, the team will not bond and grow.
Equality: Check your ego at the door, forget your titles and be a team player during a team-building situation. Even team leaders should do the dirty work, serve others, and have fun doing both. Relevance: Tie activities to participants’ goals. Foster post-activity conversation about business goal relevance; otherwise, you miss the mark. Think in terms of 40% time on activity and 60% on bridging back to current business objectives. Staging: Make sure everyone is clear on the needs you seek to meet by doing this activity together. No one should be left wondering “Why are we here?” Input: Provide opportunities for sharing thoughts and ideas — and a chance to be truly heard. Value and acknowledge all input. Respect: A person may not like others they work with, but if they respect them, that goes a long way toward building an effective team. Mutual respect is at the heart of every relationship, and that includes those forged during team building.

JPE Welcomes Dr. Toni Yang By Carmen MH Colitz, DVM, PhD, DACVO
Dr. Toni Yang grew up in Houston, Texas. She completed both her undergraduate and professional studies at Texas A&M University (WHOOP!) in College Station, TX. After earning her DVM in 2015, she completed an internship in small animal surgery and medicine at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine with plans to return to Texas thereafter. However, she developed a keen interest in integrative medicine and stayed on at UF for an additional year to complete a specialty internship with the integrative medicine service. Dr. Yang also trained in small animal veterinary acupuncture at the Chi Institute of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine. Her special interests include post-operative
rehabilitation of orthopedic and neurologic conditions and small animal acupuncture, which can be of particular help when traditional interventions such as medicine/surgery are not an option. Dr. Yang shares her home with one cat (Sheldon) and one dog (Leonard). She enjoys reading, spending time outdoors (often in a hammock), and eating any/all foods. Although Dr. Yang will always consider herself a native Texan, she concedes that Florida is lovely and has somehow found a way to keep her around.

Capturing Life By Lynn Hernandez
From the first time I picked up a camera as a teenager in 1994, it has been my great joy to capture relationships and special moments through photography. In 2002, while on a shoot photographing family members interacting with each other, I realized I wanted to be a photographer for the rest of my life. I’m lucky. Over the years, I’ve taken countless other photographs that have made me feel exactly the way I felt the day that family’s photos were taken. I’m committed to giving my clients that same great feeling when they look at their own photos. Before I moved to West Palm Beach three years ago, I lived in Miami, where I often photographed elaborate weddings of the eight-ten-hour variety. That wasn’t for me. Since relocating, I’ve gotten back to who I am: a photographer whose passion lies in capturing the truly meaningful moments that define the love shared by couples, and by entire families. These days, I’m a portrait and wedding photographer who specializes photographing vacationing families and couples celebrating intimate destination weddings. I capture the priceless moments as families enjoy a great getaway, and as couples pledge their love to each other on beaches, at resorts, and in courthouses and gardens. I work hard to ensure that your special West Palm Beach visit lasts a lifetime by capturing on film the love and
connection you have with each other. Whether you are all about taking quiet walks on the beach with the love of your life or giving laughter-filled piggyback rides to your kids, your personality will shine during my carefully and individually crafted photo-shoots for you and your loved ones. As a mom of kids that range from 5 to 22, I understand the importance of preserving the fleeting moments of life. My children inspire me to follow my passion and true purpose as a photographer. I bring dynamic energy, professional guidance, and individual attention to every photo shoot. My promise to you is that I’ll create an enjoyable experience for you and your family, and deliver portraits that will make you feel the love and remember the fun every time you look at them. Recently the publishers of The Wedding and Honeymoon Guide for Discover the Palm Beaches Florida (where I am a partner) wrote an article* about my experiences as a wedding photographer. They also selected seven of my photographs** for the guide. The 5000 distributed copies of the guide give me a unique opportunity to connect with even more people who love each other, some of whom I hope will trust me to tell their story. I couldn’t be more honored to be featured, representing West Palm Beach, a city that I have grown to love deeply. *Read the article at https://issuu.com/passportpublications/docs/ discover_wedding_honeymoon_guide. **Two are on p. 8 of Experience Weddings in Florida; two are on p. 14 of Wedding Essentials; three appear with the aforementioned article.

co mm u n i t y n e ws FROM THE DESK OF MAYOR MARINO
PBG: Lush with Green Space & Recreational Opportunities By Mayor Maria Marino
What makes Palm Beach Gardens different from many other towns in our county is the dedication of land to green/preserve space. As mentioned in last month's article, nearly 50% of our city is green. With 16 parks in our city, it's no wonder families flock here to live. You can launch a boat at Sandhill Crane Park or zip-line at Joe Russo Park. You can also swim and take yoga and Zumba classes at the Burns Road Recreational Center; fish, canoe or kayak at Lake Catherine; and play pickle ball or go skateboarding at Plant Drive Park. Currently, we are working with the county to develop the district park on 80+ acres just off
Central Boulevard. This will increase the amount of multipurpose fields and walking trails Join tennis leagues at our awardwinning tennis facility, or enjoy a round of golf at the Sandhill Crane Golf Course (SCGC) where a new clubhouse is being built. While at SCGC, you can take lessons from golf professional Sherri Pla, recently featured on a CBS golf special for her passion for growing the game one junior golfer at a time. Our city has been home to many athletic tournaments for both youth and adults The Palm Beach Gardens Youth Athletic Association is growing rapidly, and the call for more multipurpose fields is being answered. At any time of the
year, you can watch out children play competition baseball, softball, soccer or lacrosse. As a professional golfer, I know how important it is for our youth to have such healthy options when it comes to free time. Long ago I chose sports as an outlet for my energy and if I hadn't, I would never have moved to Palm Beach Gardens. For more info on all of our parks and recreational facilities, visit www.pbgfl. com. There you will find everything you need to enjoy our thousands of acres of greenspace. Mmarino@pbgfl.com ď Ž

5 Tips for Introducing Home Care By Jill Ball, VP of Operations
One of the most rewarding and sometimes challenging aspects of my position here at VIP America is meeting with a family or potential client to complete a new client assessment. Sometimes the transition into home care is quite smooth, with all involved parties (potential client, spouse, family, health professionals, friends etc.) on the same page. At other times I find myself meeting with someone who has just become aware that he/she may receive home care, or even with someone who arrives in my office still unclear as to why he/she is there. In such cases, the transition to home care does not always go quite so smoothly. Here are 5 tips for introducing the idea of home health care to a loved one: 1. Stay calm, cool, and collected while discussing home care. If you’re frazzled, your loved one will be too. Be positive. This does not need to be a bad change or a negative experience. 2. Gather information and explore your options. There is no “one size fits all” home health care plan. Each client we service has a care plan as unique as his/her needs. We specialize in a wide variety of diagnoses (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, dementia, disabled adults, diabetic patients, cognitive impairments, multiple sclerosis, etc.). Call our intake nurse to discuss what type of schedule and level of care would work for your loved one. Some clients only need occasional homemaker/companion services while others may need daily assistance with their personal care.
3. Allow your loved one to express emotions. While you’ve had time to process the potential change, this may be the first time the situation has even crossed your loved one’s mind. Feeling a wide range of emotions is normal, especially for someone suffering from a neurological disease such as Alzheimer’s, dementia or Parkinson’s. For these people, so much is changing in their lives that they are prone to be much more fearful and emotional than they would typically be. 4. Don’t argue. If your loved one is not responding positively, simply walk away and try to approach the subject again at a later time. Don’t make matters worse by arguing, and refrain from phrases like “We have no other choice” and “This is what we have to do now.” Avoid threats such as “If you want to stay at home…” or “If you don’t do this, then I won’t be able to help you anymore.” 5. Remind your loved one that the goal is assistance, not control. The common misconception is that home care is about taking over the individual’s daily care. This could not be further from the truth. We are not task masters that come in and introduce new routines or methods to control how a person conducts daily life. Our caregivers are there to help clients stay in their own homes, where they see familiar faces and enjoy comfortable surroundings for as long as possible. VIP America, LLC has been referring quality caregivers to the southeast and southwest coasts of Florida since 1997. We offer complimentary, in-home assessments to discuss and explore all your home care options. Call us today at 561.585.4535 to see how we can help you and/or your loved one.
