ITID Hears Feedback From Equestrians On Horse Trails

By Ron Bukley Town-Crier Staff Report The Indian Trail Improvement District Board of Supervisors received community feedback in a workshop Wednesday, Oct. 17 about the condition of horse trails in The Acreage — and the consensus was that they are badly in need of care. ITID President Betty Argue said the workshop was to answer questions about the district’s equestrian trails and receive comment as to what the community would like to see improved. “I’ve been hearing some different ideas from community members, and one of the most important things in our role on the board is to hear from the community, discuss it and have a plan,” Argue said. At one point, ITID did some trail planning, which did not come

to fruition. ITID Manager Rob Robinson referred to a map that was dated 2006. “That showed four phases of equestrian trails, but it didn’t have any timing laid out,” Robinson said. Phase 1 had a trail laid out to run along Grapeview Blvd. from Orange Blvd. up to Northlake Blvd., with another segment on Cheetham Hill Blvd. Phase 2 was planned for 130th Avenue North along the east side of the M1 Canal, Grapeview Blvd. north of Northlake Blvd., as well as a small section near Hamlin Park. Phase 3 was a county project that ran along the M Canal from 110th Avenue North to Little Gator Lane to the pump station and then back east to the M2 Canal. Phase 4 was to run along 110th

Avenue North from 60th Street North to 40th Street North, and also along Banyan Blvd., zigzagging from Seminole Pratt Whitney Blvd. at 93rd Road North and along the M2 Canal to 60th Street North. ITID Engineer Jay Foy said the maps were the result of a planning committee led by former Supervisor Mike Erickson in an attempt to satisfy members of the equestrian community. “As I recall, the board never officially adopted anything to put it in the budget,” Foy said. Supervisor Ralph Bair said there were plans dating back to 1993 where a supervisor got county help on plans for horse trails that went west from West Palm Beach to Lake Okeechobee. “Nothing ever got done about See TRAILS, page 20

League Of YES Will Host Baseball Game In Wellington Oct. 27

By Chris Levy Town-Crier Staff Report The League of YES will host a showcase baseball game on Saturday, Oct. 27 from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. at Wellington’s Village Park. The event will allow children with disabilities to experience playing the game of baseball in a safe and supportive environment. The League of YES — which stands for You Experience Success — was founded in 2015 by Kristine Fitzpatrick on Long Island in New York. Since its inception, it has grown to include more than 30 children in each of the leagues located in the New York area. The League of YES describes itself as “a baseball program for individuals with special abilities.” Players of all ages and abilities are invited to play in a showcase game, in a relaxed, judgmentfree zone. Everyone is assigned

a buddy/volunteer and everyone gets to bat each inning. Wellington resident Kris Riedell attended high school with Fitzpatrick in East Islip, N.Y. The two played softball together at East Islip High School, with Riedell playing third base and Fitzpatrick playing catcher. Riedell’s eldest son Andrew is a senior at Cardinal Newman High School, where he is a pitcher on the baseball team. In 2015, Andrew and the Wellington Colts travel baseball team held an Autism Awareness Day event to support his younger brother, Bryan, who was being bullied for having autism. Ever since the success of that event in 2015, Riedell has received encouragement from both her high school teammate Fitzpatrick and her son Andrew to start a League of YES program in South Florida.

By M. Dennis Taylor Town-Crier Staff Report State Rep. Matt Willhite (DDistrict 86) is seeking re-election during the Tuesday, Nov. 6 general election against Royal Palm Beach businesswoman Laurel Bennett, the same opponent he defeated to win the seat in 2016. Willhite, a Democrat who previously served two terms on the Wellington Village Council, took 57.6 percent of the vote in 2016 to defeat Bennett, the Republican nominee, who garnered 42.4 percent of the vote. District 86 includes much of the western communities, including all of Wellington, Royal Palm Beach and Loxahatchee Groves, and several areas further east. The seat trends Democratic and was held by former State House Minority Leader Mark Pafford before Willhite won the seat two years ago. The Town-Crier reached out to Willhite and Bennett, asking them to consider what they wanted voters to know about them and their stand on the issues in the final days

before the election, and to address their remarks directly to the voters. MATT WILLHITE

Willhite is finishing up his freshman term in Tallahassee. “It has been my greatest honor to represent our community as your state representative,” he said. “As a former corpsman in the U.S. Navy, a Wellington councilman and a 22-year veteran of Palm Beach County Fire-Rescue, I have been proud to dedicate my life to public service, and I thank you for that opportunity.” Willhite then shared his priorities for the next two years, including supporting and achieving quality in public schools. “Our children are our greatest asset and our future leaders,” he said. “As a product of public schools and a father of two in our public-school system, I believe investing in education is the single greatest investment for our future. I’m proud to have the support of Palm Beach County and Florida teachers, and I will never stop

fighting for the world-class education that our students deserve.” Willhite said that he has also been fighting for senior citizens. “All around Florida, but particularly here in Palm Beach County, issues facing senior and retired citizens have been in the spotlight,” Willhite said. “That’s why I’ve worked hard to be a champion for our seniors, advocating to expand alternative care programs, secure additional funds for Medicare and lower the cost of prescription drugs.” Focusing on public safety is another big issue for Willhite. “As an elected official, I’ve dedicated my career to ensuring that our police, firefighters and nurses have all the resources they need to protect our community and keep themselves healthy,” he said. “This past session, the state passed my bill that ensures that our first responders receive the treatment and benefits they deserve for illnesses developed in the line of duty.” Willhite added that he has proSee DISTRICT 86, page 20

By Chris Levy Town-Crier Staff Report Wellington’s Architectural Review Board met on Wednesday, Oct. 17 to discuss signage issues at several proposed commercial developments, as well as a trio of houses requesting paint colors not currently on the village’s approved color charts. The Shoppes at Isla Verde on State Road 7 was the subject of two agenda items before the board. The first involved Capitol Carpet & Tile and Window Fashions that is currently in negotiations to move into the former Sports Authority site. When the Sports Authority vacated its bay, it was redeveloped into three smaller bays, one of which will be taken by Sprouts, an organic grocery store. Capitol Carpet would occupy the 5,000-square-foot end bay, but only if their signage and modifications are approved. Staff recommended a sign with

a height of 37 inches, but Capitol Carpet requested a sign with a height of 51 inches — well larger than both the size recommended by village staff and the smaller 24-inch sign prescribed by the village code. Lou Morano, president of Capitol Carpet, was on hand to plead his case. He argued that he needed a larger sign because he had expanded his company’s name to include “Window Fashions,” which meant he needed two lines of text. “When we added ‘Window Fashions’ to our signs in Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Palm Beach Gardens, window fashions became 20 percent of our business,” Morano said. “In our stores without the signage, it’s only five percent of our business.” Morano went on to explain that because the location would be 525 feet back from SR 7 and behind the CVS Pharmacy, it would be difficult to see. “It’s a dead spot,” See ARB MEETING, page 4

Wellington Opens Senior Room At Community Center

By Chris Levy Town-Crier Staff Report On Monday, Oct. 15, the Village of Wellington held a grand opening event for the new senior room at the Wellington Community Center. The room is located on the first floor of the building in the Polo Conference Room and offers spacious seating, games, coffee, tea and a spectacular view of Lake Wellington. At the event were Village Manager Paul Schofield, staff from the Community Services and Parks & Recreation departments, members of the Wellington Seniors Club and former Wellington Mayor Tom Wenham. An array of donuts was provided courtesy of Wellington Regional Medical Center.

“I had to wait until I aged into it,” Schofield quipped prior to the ceremonial ribbon cutting after being asked why it took so long for Wellington to get a dedicated senior venue. Howard Trager, president of the Wellington Seniors Club, was on hand to cut the ribbon. “It’s a start,” Trager said. “The room is charming, functional, welcoming, warm and hospitable. It was met with great anticipation. The more it’s used, the greater it will grow.” “I hope it gets so much use that we have to expand it,” Schofield added. Wenham also participated in the ribbon cutting. “This is a great place for seniors

to come and meet on a day-today basis and make friendships,” Wenham said. “It’s a great place — great for the community. I hope it grows extensively.” Both Trager and Wenham are United States Air Force veterans, with Wenham serving during the Korean War and Trager serving in the Vietnam War. “There are more than 8,000 seniors in Wellington,” Trager said. “The seniors club is at 780 members and growing. It’s time the seniors had a place of their own.” He thanked Community Services Director Paulette Edwards and Community Services Specialist Jenifer Brito for making it happen.

More Community Partnerships Urged At RPB Ed Board Meeting By Denis Eirikis Town-Crier Staff Report Royal Palm Beach’s newest school principal, as well as the youngest member of the Royal Palm Beach Education Advisory Board, spoke during the board’s Monday, Oct. 15 meeting, and both had similar messages: community partnerships are crucial to education. Bruce Saulter, a Royal Palm Beach resident for five years, was warmly welcomed as he gave the evening’s feature presentation in his new capacity as principal

Bruce Saulter recently took over as principal at Cypress Trails Elementary School.

of Cypress Trails Elementary School. He emphasized community and stakeholder partnering as some of his top priority goals. Chrisyndia Jean, who just turned 18 last week, serves as a non-voting member and student liaison of the Education Advisory Board. In her capacity as student council president at Royal Palm Beach High School, she provided an update on the many events and activities at the school and emphasized the importance of teamwork. The themes of partnering and teamwork seemed especially appropriate as village officials, residents, parents, students, teachers, principals, administrators and the area’s elected school board member gathered to discuss and plan how Royal Palm Beach public schools can be even more successful. Cypress Trails, like all of the village’s public elementary schools, boasts the grade of “A” from the Florida Department of Education. “We are an ‘A’ school now, but my goal is to increase our scores in all areas,” Saulter said. He shared that one of the ways that he plans on improving student performance is to create better community partnerships. “A main goal this year is to increase the publicity of Cypress Trails Elementary School and to inform our families, stakeholders

and the entire Village of Royal Palm Beach about the many ways that we support every child to reach his or her highest potential,” he said. In his former role as assistant principal at Seminole Trails Elementary School, with its proximity to the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches, he was able to forge partnerships with Major League Baseball, having mascots visit the school and teams donating prizes and incentives for academic achievement. Saulter said that he has already started forging partnerships in Royal Palm Beach. “We hope to have more events out in the community for our families to attend. Our PTO is beginning to reach out to local restaurants, but if anyone is interested in becoming a business partner, they can contact our main office at (561) 904-9004,” he said. “We will recognize businesses in our school newsletter, send home information, and recognize them in other ways, like our school marquee and social media.” During her report to the board, Jean gave several examples of team-building at RPBHS. “We had a very successful dodgeball tournament recently, where representatives of the school’s numerous clubs and organizations that normally do

not interact with each other, came together as one Wildcat family,” she said. RPBHS also works on teaming with the community. “We do a lot of partnering, but one of my favorite business partnerships is where the school teams with a supplier to sell Christmas trees,” Jean said. “Students learn to work with others, and we develop business and life skills that will prepare us for successful careers.” She also said that the student council itself, representing about 2,200 students, works as a partnership with teachers and administrators. RPBHS Principal Dr. Jesus Armas agreed and pointed to Jean’s leadership on the student council as crucial to the school’s success. “Education is most successful when the faculty and the student body team together,” he said. “Chrisyndia’s leadership on campus sets a positive tone. Her tireless work ethic and wonderful attitude inspire positivity in not only students, but also more than a little of her energy and enthusiasm rubs off on faculty and staff.” Palm Beach County School Board Member Marcia Andrews congratulated both Saulter and Jean for their presentations. “Education is all about partnerships and teaming,” she said

after the meeting. “Right now the village, the school system and the Town-Crier are all teaming to get the community involved with the successful education of students in Royal Palm Beach.”

Zuckerman, Fung Face Off For Group 4 Seat On County Court

By Chris Levy and M. Dennis Taylor Town-Crier Staff Report Attorneys Ashley Zuckerman and Allegra Fung emerged from a crowded primary field of five candidates vying to replace recently retired Judge Peter Evans in the Palm Beach County Court Group 4 seat. Zuckerman, who took 30.01 percent of the vote in the primary, will square off against Fung, who took 23.83 percent of the vote, on the Tuesday, Nov. 6 general election ballot. If Fung is elected, she will make history by becoming the first judge of Chinese descent elected in Florida. Living in Jupiter Farms, Fung is 43, married and has two children. She completed her bachelor’s degree at Florida State University and her law degree at the St.

Thomas University School of Law in Miami. Fung touts her mix of criminal and civil judicial experience. “Whichever one of us wins will either be placed on the civil or criminal court,” Fung said. “I am the only candidate with experience in both and ready to start on day one.” The experience Fung speaks of is 18 years of experience as an attorney in Palm Beach County. This included three years in the Public Defender’s Office, where she tried hundreds of cases with an emphasis on domestic violence and juveniles. Following that experience, she went into private practice as a criminal defense attorney. In 2009, she made the switch to civil law and joined Groelle & Salmon where she represented insurance companies. In 2011, she moved to her current firm, Korte &

Frontier Elementary Collecting For Hurricane Michael Victims

By Ron Bukley Town-Crier Staff Report Frontier Elementary School’s safety patrol has a project going with the help of local donors to take collections of supplies to the victims of Hurricane Michael in North Florida who are still digging out of the debris from the powerful storm earlier this month. “The response has actually been very overwhelming,” teacher Sherry Dulany, co-coordinator of the school’s safety patrol program sponsoring the drive, told the Town-Crier on Tuesday. “We took a truckload yesterday. We have an entire truckload today, and the

Frontier families have brought in an astounding amount of supplies.

ARB Meeting

Sign For Capitol Carpet

continued from page 1 Morano explained. “It’s great that it’s next to Sprouts, and we’re relying on the people who go there to be able to read our sign.” Further complicating the matter is the fact that the landlord does not currently have approval for a multi-tenant monument sign to advertise Capitol Carpet below Sprouts. Board Vice Chair Tom Wenham introduced a motion to approve the staff recommendation of 37 inches, but Morano informed the board that such a sign would be too small and could potentially jeopardize the deal. The motion was defeated 6-1. Morano also said he hoped to replace the exterior wall with glass to better showcase his store, but this

lobby is overflowing with things. It’s multiple trips.” She added that a family from Boynton Beach heard about the effort and drove up with a carload of supplies — and inquiries are even coming from places much farther away. “I received an e-mail last night from California from someone who saw it on the WPTV web site and wanted to mail us stuff,” Dulany said. She has lived in Florida all her life and relates to the suffering in North Florida. “I’ve never lost everything like those in [Hurricane] Andrew, but I’ve gone through them and seen the devastation,” Dulany said. “My husband is a contractor, so he did a lot of work down south with rebuilding from Andrew. We’ve done the whole no generator, take a bath in your pool because of the water, but it was nothing like complete annihilation.” Dulany said that the two people who are transporting the supplies are volunteers who wish to remain anonymous. “They have been taking in donations for gas, but when I donated for gas, she shared with me that it wasn’t to cover their gas,” Dulany said. “It was to cover the gas for filling the gas cans that were being donated so they could take the gas to the victims, so they could run their generators. So, it’s completely funded by the

gentlemen taking the supplies.” They have already taken several shipments to a drop-off location in North Florida. “With the amount of donations that are coming forth right now, they have someone who is going to loan them a semi to take this next [shipment],” Dulany said. “At first, they were going just to assess the situation and see if they could get through and determine what were the immediate needs, to let us know what to send and take. They just had a ‘dually’ with a covered trailer with the initial set of supplies, and they drove those up there, and they came back last night. With the amount that’s being collected, they’re looking at a local business willing to donate a semi to them for their use to haul it up there.” Dulany added that Osceola Creek Middle School, located next door to Frontier, has joined in the collection effort, as well as Crestwood Middle School in Royal Palm Beach. “Crestwood Middle School had intended to send their supplies through [U.S. Sen.] Bill Nelson, but they needed them that day, so once they heard our story, they contacted me and asked if they could bring their items here on Friday,” Dulany said. “There’s stuff from a condominium association that is going to bring us items this week, and then our families — I had a lady bring in almost the en-

would also require the approval of the board at a future meeting. However, the landlord stressed that negotiations are still on-going, and no deal is in place for the cost of that renovation. Ultimately, the board concluded that they would need to see an architectural rendering of the revised glass storefront to fully comprehend the signage. The board voted to table the item with the hope Morano would return at the board meeting Wednesday, Nov. 28 with a revised rendering. Morano informed the board that if he felt that he would not get the signage needed for his business, he was uncertain if he would pursue the project, given the considerable startup cost and investment. In other business: • The second property in Isla Verde with a signage request was Verizon. The company is in the process of rebranding itself from Verizon Wireless to simply Verizon.

The board voted unanimously to approve the staff recommended 34-inch sign. • The owner of Tub Tim Thai & Sushi is expanding in Wellington’s Village Green Center on the west side of SR 7 south of the Mall at Wellington Green. Forno Bravo, a new restaurant, would occupy the space previously occupied by Flakowitz. Among the features would be a living wall, which would be the third in Wellington, following two at the mall. The issue before the board was the owner’s request to remove a faux window and replace it with a large circular sign. The board approved the request unanimously with the provision that the exterior color of the structure remain unchanged. • The developer of lots 5, 6, 12 and 13 of the Binks Commercial Center was taken to task by the board for making changes without consulting the board. “I’m not very happy you came

after the fact,” Board Chair Ron Shamash said. Among the changes the developer made were to the exterior and roof cover. The new paints were not on the approved color palette, but they were similar. Other changes included lowering of trusses, shorter dormers than were approved and omissions of mullions on the windows completely. Ultimately, the board approved the changes. • A homeowner on Wiltshire Village Drive was on hand to defend her color choice of “oregano spice” after the board failed to reach a decision at last month’s meeting. “I had never heard of this,” the homeowner said. “I have had the color three years.” “It’s regrettable that homeowners don’t know they need to seek approval for a color,” Shamash said. The reason the color was brought before the board was because a neighbor complained about the color and brought it

to the village’s attention. The board approved the color 5-2 with Shamash and Wenham voting against approval. “If we approve this, people can say, ‘You approved this — now you have to approve it for us,’” Wenham said, explaining that he did not want to set the precedent for approving a color that was met with mixed opinions from the board and staff. • A second homeowner at Bedford Mews Drive fared better with the same color due to the different architecture of the house. The board approved allowing that homeowner to also keep the color “oregano spice.” • The most contentious of the three housing discussions was for one on Guilford Circle, which had not yet been painted. The homeowner sought approval to paint the house “English holyoke.” While both staff and the board liked the color, the discussion turned contentious over a recommendation by staff that the homeowner add two trees to the landscaping.

The addition of trees was not required by code, but staff felt that the landscaping modification would enhance the property. Board Member William Klein clashed with staff stating that the board did not have the authority to cover landscaping. “We are overstepping boundaries based on code,” Klein said. Staff argued that the board did have the right to add landscaping instructions such as this. In fact, the board had done so when Sprouts was approved with instructions for additional landscaping to break up a large wall. The board voted to approve the homeowner’s color request 6-1 with staff’s instruction to add two additional trees, with Klein dissenting. After the meeting, Senior Planner Kelly Ferraiolo explained that the trees were not required by the code, but because the homeowner was seeking an unapproved color, village staff used the opportunity to address the overall appearance of the house.

Marybel was not born into a life of privilege. In fact, she was born in Cuba, not America. She came here as a very young girl and had to earn the right of citizenship. She has worked long and hard to make her “American dream” a reality. Marybel has served as a lawyer in Palm Beach County for 25 years and tried over 200 cases in all five circuit court divisions. It is no wonder that she has been vetted and nominated twice in 10 months by the Judicial Nominating Committee made up of her peers, as they know she is the most qualified for this position. I agree. Marybel Coleman has my vote for circuit court judge in Group 18. Dawn Marie Baydowicz Royal Palm Beach

The brand of felon is a cost to the individual, the family and society. For the individual, it is a burden that shamefully closes doors to advanced education, career employment and the ability to provide well for families. For the full family, it is the economic burden and the need to constantly try to offer hope and justification that somehow life will get better, but really knowing that it never will. For society, it is the enormous cost of unengaged aimless men and women with no opportunity for self-sufficiency who depend on government subsidies, or often return to crime because there is no other way to survive with dignity. Amendment 4 restores the voting rights of Floridians with felony convictions if all terms of their sentence are completed, except for those convicted of murder or sexual assault. A vote to approve Amendment 4 is the first step to bringing these individuals who have paid for their past actions to move back into society. Amendment 4 is a good step and the right step for a compassionate community. Martha Webster Royal Palm Beach

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Elect Maxine Cheesman To Circuit Court

On Nov. 6, we will be electing a circuit court judge for Group 18. Someday we might find ourselves appearing in front of that judge. That is why I am supporting Maxine Cheesman as the best candidate for Group 18. Most importantly, all judges need to have demonstrated that they are self-disciplined by a well-developed internal ethical code that manifests itself in high standards of professional competence, trustworthiness and personal morality. Most of us know very little about the candidates running for circuit court judge. Regretfully, I must direct your attention to the Palm Beach Post news articles dated Aug. 6, 2018 and Aug. 17, 2018, in which judicial candidate Marybel Reinoso Coleman, also running for this seat, “admitted that she had sex with a client in 2013, while representing him in a divorce.” She failed to self-disclose this fact to the Judicial Nominating Commission when she applied for a judicial appointment. In the November election, there is another candidate, and the winner of the recent primary, Maxine Cheesman. She is a solo practitioner with experience in the required fields of law. She is a lawyer with an impeccable professional record. She also has a master’s of science degree in organic chemistry and was a former director with the South Florida Water Management District. Her scientific approach will also help her on the bench.

Maxine Cheesman has been endorsed by two major newspapers The Palm Beach Post and the Sun-Sentinel, as the best choice for circuit court judge. As citizens, we have an opportunity to elect Maxine Cheesman to the circuit court bench. She is the most qualified candidate based on her resume, academics, demonstrated personal and professional ethics, and good judgement over many decades as a resident of Palm Beach County. In my opinion, good moral character is a relevant characteristic when deciding who we entrust with the enormous power of being a judge. We need to elect judges like Maxine Cheesman. Remember, just “Say Cheese.” Vinnie Perrin Royal Palm Beach

land and keep our helicopter for search and rescue efforts, as well as tracking robbery/murder suspects? We must cover price increases, and that will mean higher taxes/ fees for each of us. Of course, we could increase the number of “eaches.” That is, increase housing density — perhaps go from one in five to one in a half-acre. If we want to keep our ruralesque atmosphere and lifestyle, as I bloody well do, then we will need to ante up. I can’t afford it any more than y’all, but I want Loxahatchee Groves to remain as is — it is already getting too built up. So residents, push the council to work with the PBSO and get a solution so we can keep their services. We do not “Barnie Fife.” Bill Louda Loxahatchee Groves

Groves Can’t Afford Its Own Police Force

Vote Marybel Coleman For Circuit Judge

To Loxahatchee Groves Residents and Council: We cannot even think about starting our own police force. We must retain the services of the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office. Were we to start our own police department, we would need the same number of officers, five, as we currently have in order to provide 24/7/365 coverage. Besides salary, we would be required to provide benefits, health plus sick leave. We would need an office with at least two staff to cover the phones and paperwork. We would need an office with holding cells. We would need cars/pickup trucks with radar. Also, where would we

Marybel Coleman, who is running for circuit court judge in Group 18, is my neighbor. She built her home on the same block as mine. While I have lived a little longer and was the first homeowner on our block, she is the one I go to when I need advice and support, as her door is always open to anyone in need. A long time before I knew what she did for a living, Marybel impressed me with her genuine caring not only for our community, but also the individuals in it. Perhaps one could say that Marybel has a personality that was born to lead. However, I would clarify that by saying that she does not do so in the loud or bossy way associat-

ed with many leaders of our day. Marybel leads with a quiet confidence born of love and through her example. She is the mother of twins (13-year-old boy and girl), who she teaches on a daily basis to be good neighbors. I wanted to pay her daughter to pet sit for me, but Marybel told her daughter that good neighbors do this for one another and that payment wasn’t necessary. She sent her son over to help us take in our patio furniture when Hurricane Irma was on her way because she knew we could use his help. Marybel’s husband showed us how to drain our air conditioner when it froze while we were away visiting family. She has opened her doors to the women in our community to celebrate our different cultures and encourage unity. We have been invited to her home for various holidays, as she is aware that our families are far away. Marybel walks her dogs with her entire family around our neighborhood, stopping to chat with everyone. She has inspired us to have potluck block parties, pool parties and to come together often as a community to celebrate. Is Marybel Coleman perfect? No. Are you? Is anyone? Marybel, like all of us, has made her share of mistakes. That being said, she has learned from them, and it is because of her journey that she is not quick to judge anyone. She doesn’t make her mind up before she has heard the whole story and seen all the evidence. She can imagine what it is to be in someone else’s shoes. Marybel Coleman exudes respect, kindness and compassion for all. These are the qualities I want in a person who might one day judge my actions.

Support For Amendment 4

Amendment 4 is a chance to finally right a wrong, a true injustice in our society. Amendment 4 is for the lost Floridians who have been disenfranchised not just from society, but from full and meaningful lives. Always, as Americans, we have believed that once you pay your debt, you can move on. What happened?

Lox Zoners OK Site Plan For Project With Aldi, Wawa And Chase

By Ron Bukley Town-Crier Staff Report The Loxahatchee Groves Planning & Zoning Committee recommended approval Tuesday, Oct. 16 of a site plan for the development of an Aldi, Wawa and Chase Bank at the Groves Town Center, as well as an equestrian trail that will border the overall development. Planning Consultant Jim Fleischmann said the application for about 7.2 acres at the northeast corner of B Road and Southern Blvd. is a small part of the entire 90-acre Groves Town Center project. The Aldi grocery store will be 21,630 square feet on 2.63 acres, the Wawa will be 6,119 square feet on 1.91 acres and the Chase Bank will be 3,470 square feet on 0.76 acres. A ring road, swale and green space around the north and east portions of the pod take up 1.9 acres. The planned unit development (PUD) amendment, which modified ingress and egress and improved drainage and equestrian trails, was approved at its preliminary reading by the Loxahatchee Groves Town Council and is scheduled for its second and final reading on Nov. 6, along with the site plan currently under discussion. “That’s a major condition and addition to the PUD,” Fleischmann said, adding that the agreement adds construction deadlines, including for a horse

bridge across Collecting Canal. Two waiver requests, for lighting at Wawa and bollards instead of a raised sidewalk, were also approved at the first reading. Attorney Matthew Scott, representing owner Brightwork Real Estate, said there are many pieces to the development. “There is the overall PUD that needs to be amended that allows for this site plan that we’re talking about tonight,” Scott said. “If you recall, when we were here a few months ago, you had specific questions about the site plan, and we told you to hold off on that until we came back… We are here tonight to talk to you specifically about the site plan for the southwest corner of the project.” Scott said the bollards require a waiver because the current town code requires wheel stops and curbing between pedestrian and vehicular portions of commercial areas. “Through extensive experience by the proposed users, what we found is that bollards are a safer option than an elevated pedestrian walkway and wheel stops, so for all of the projects that Wawa and the other users are proposing, what we prefer to do is have pedestrian areas and vehicular areas flush, as opposed to having an elevated walkway, and then put bollards in,” Scott said. He explained that bollards are preferable to wheel stops and elevated pedestrian walkways be-

cause the bollards prevent vehicles whose driver has mistakenly put the car in drive instead of reverse from catapulting over the wheel stop and sidewalk into the front of the store. “It is recommended by the various safety organizations and insurance companies as a best practice,” Scott said, pointing out that wheel stops and curbing are a tripping hazard for pedestrians. The other waiver being sought relates to lighting. “The code doesn’t prohibit uses to be open 24 hours. However, the code does limit lighting in commercial uses,” Scott said. “It requires that lighting be turned off at 11 p.m. We’re asking for a waiver from that requirement to allow the Wawa to have lower lighting from 11 [p.m.] until dawn because the use is going to be open during those hours.” Scott said that due to the design of the lamps, there will be no light spillage onto adjoining properties. Fleischmann said the lighting waiver only applies to the Wawa. The other lights will be turned off at 11 p.m. The Wawa proposes 16 pumps at its fuel island, with its overall design complying with the town’s guidelines. “We heard from you that you wanted to make sure that it has some rural components,” Scott said. “We heard it from the town council as well, so we went back

to the drawing board, and we revised the elevations to be consistent with the rural design guidelines.” They include redesigned roofs, added stone and a front porch feel for the Aldi entrance. “I think these are a drastic improvement from what was initially proposed and is consistent with what the town is looking for with design,” he said. Scott added that at the town’s request, they kept the large size of the parking spaces to accommodate large vehicles common in the community and added more landscaping. “All the parking spaces are the code minimum, meaning the larger size, and the head-to-head parking now has landscaping buffers between it, and we have a 25-foot landscaping buffer on the south side with a 3-foot elevated berm,” he said. Scott noted that all the designs comply with the town’s newly amended Uniform Land Development Code. Fleischmann said that town staff and the ULDC Committee recommended approval of the proposed waivers with conditions. Attorney Al Malefatto, representing the property owner to the north, two pieces with a total of 15 acres that have access to B Road, asked if there could be access provided from the property under discussion. “I’m not here to oppose this. We

actually welcome this and look forward to their presence,” Malefatto said. “The reason for that is that we have an application in for a multiple use as well.” He asked that a condition be added to allow a road connection between the two properties, pointing out that the ULDC suggests that off-road access be provided wherever possible. “I think it’s clearly possible here to adjust the site plan so there’s a connection to the ring road,” Malefatto said. Board Chair Dennis Lipp pointed out that an access road would disrupt the horse trail, which other board members spoke against. “I don’t think a roadway across the equestrian trail is appropriate,” said Board Member William Bell, who pointed out that the application to the north had not yet been considered, and granting any kind of access might constitute a presumption of approval. Board Member Veronica Close made a motion to recommend approval of the amended application with conditions, which carried 4-0 with Board Member William Ford absent. Scott said the proposed equestrian trail, the second item for discussion and approval that evening, was one of the requirements under the original PUD approval in 2013, that a horse trail be constructed in conjunction with the first site plan to come in. “The horse trail was to be

constructed in the buffer area,” he said. “The buffer area is 100 feet wide along the northwest side… and it’s 300 [feet] for the remainder.” After research, the developer settled on a meandering trail with a stabilized base a minimum of 10 feet wide and an aerial clearance of 12 feet. “Some other components that were added along the way during a collaborative process were that bollards be added at the entrance points to prevent vehicles from going onto the horse trail, and signage would be added indicating what is allowed and not allowed on the horse trail,” Scott said. A point of contention was building an equestrian bridge over Collecting Canal. “You, the council and the horse community wanted us to build it now. You all know there is an expense associated with that, so there was a back-and-forth about when we would do that,” Scott said. “What we heard from the community was the equestrian trail is not much use to anyone unless there is that bridge.” The developer agreed to build the equestrian trail now and the bridge by 2020. Lipp asked when the developer is expected to break ground on the project, and Fleischmann said it’s probably a year out. Close made a motion to approve the application, which also carried 4-0.

St. Peter’s Church Hosts Movie Night, Party At Pumpkin Patch

Young Marines Celebrate Red Ribbon Week

The Village of Wellington, in conjunction with the Young Marines of the Palm Beaches, joined communities across the nation in proclaiming Oct. 23-31 as Red Ribbon Week. Red Ribbon Week is an annual campaign to fight the addiction crisis by educating youth of the dangers of addiction and encouraging people to sign pledges to live drug-free lives. The Young Marines of the Palm Beaches works year-round to teach its members of the dangers of drugs and alcohol and encourages its members to become leaders and teach others about this problem. During the month of October, the Young Marines increase their efforts to reach other youth and lessen the number who

will fall victim to addiction. This year, the Young Marines of the Palm Beaches kicked off Red Ribbon Week activities early, as they met to assemble red cord bracelets and learn about Enrique “Kiki” Camerena, who was a U.S. Marine and then a DEA agent, who worked to stop drug dealers before being kidnapped, tortured and murdered. On Friday, Oct. 5, the Young Marines hosted a booth at the Tequesta National Night Out at Constitution Park with a quiz game designed to educate youth about drug addiction dangers. They gave red ribbons to those willing to pledge to live drug-free. Some of the Young Marines also performed color guard services. The Young Marines will con-

tinue their Red Ribbon Week celebrations with several other events. They will also host a booth at the Pine Jog Elementary School Trunk or Treat event from 3 to 6 p.m. on Oct. 20 and at the Delray Marketplace’s trick-or-treat event Monday, Oct. 29 from 5 to 8 p.m. The Young Marines of the Palm Beaches is a program for youth, ages 8 to 18, sponsored by the Marine Corps League and is the focus of the U.S. Marine Corps’ efforts to fight youth addiction. In addition, the Young Marines promote physical fitness; teach discipline, teamwork and leadership; and offer opportunities to participate in parades, color guards, camps, trips and more. Youth in the program must first go

OBITUARY

Joyce H. Dossett Dies At Age 81

Joyce Dossett died peacefully in the trust and care of the Trustbridge Hospice Foundation on Monday, Oct. 15. Dossett was a resident of Loxahatchee since 2003. She was born Dec. 27, 1936 in Miami, the middle child of 11 children of Charles and Rosa Jenkins. Dossett had many jobs throughout her lifetime, the most important ones to her being a good wife and mother. She also traveled throughout the United States with her husband through his military service and after retirement by motor home. Dossett was predeceased by her beloved husband James just two years ago. In addition, she leaves behind her children, Ronda Frank of Royal Palm Beach and Angela Twomey (Sean) of Royal Palm Beach. Grandchildren include Michelle Garcia (Frankie) of San Antonio, Texas; Sean Twomey (Kaitlin) of Palm Beach Gardens; and Chris Twomey of Royal Palm Beach. Dossett also leaves surviving siblings Gene Jenkins (Pat) and Gary Jenkins (LuJean). More than anything else, she enjoyed any time spent with her

Joyce Dossett children and grandchildren. She also enjoyed working with her orchids and the many various plants she cared for in her yard. Always thankful for the life the military provided her family, Dossett requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the USO. In addition, the family also offered Trustbridge Hospice Foundation (5300 East Avenue, West Palm Beach, FL 33407) for a donation in Dossett’s name as thanks for the respect and care they provided.

CYPRESS TRAILS KIDS WALK TO SCHOOL

On Tuesday, Oct. 2, Lindburgers in Wellington’s Courtyard Shops held a Wellington Elementary School PTO fundraiser. The restaurant donated a percentage of profits to the school. Students, staff and families came out to show their school spirit and support their school. It was a great time for families to have fun and get together for a delicious meal. (Above) The Suarez family enjoys dinner together. (Below left) Students Jessica Pescatore and Lilly Withrow with Jessica’s parents. (Below right) Third-grader Ben Sassin with his mom Chari Sassin having fun at Lindburgers.

More than 120 students and their families participated in International Walk to School Day on Wednesday, Oct. 10 at Cypress Trails Elementary School in Royal Palm Beach. The purpose was to encourage more students to walk or bike to school regularly. Walking improves student health, confidence, and reduces traffic and pollution, making the community cleaner and safer. Cypress Trails thanks parent volunteers, students and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office for another safe event.

Congratulations to Joseph Rios, New Horizons Elementary School’s volunteer of the month for September. Rios has two children, Gianna in kindergarten and Sofia, who is three years old. This the family’s first year at New Horizons, but even so, he has made a great impact on the students. Rios is a retired combat veteran and a retired police officer, so serving is a way of life for him. You can find him helping everywhere on campus, from the classroom and the cafeteria to the computer lab and even in SAC meetings. He likes to spend time on campus supporting students and serving as a role model. Shown above is School Counselor Diana Borges with Joseph Rios. NOW OPEN AT MIZNER PLACE IN WELLINGTON

Department Of Health Warns Of West Nile Virus

Florida Department of Health in Palm Beach County’s early warning system for mosquito-borne diseases, the sentinel chickens, have detected West Nile Virus in the western communities. Earlier confirmations have prompted the department to warn all residents to take the necessary precautions to avoid mosquito bites. “We are constantly monitoring for mosquito-borne diseases like West Nile Virus, Chikungunya and St. Louis Encephalitis. We haven’t had a confirmed human case of West Nile Virus since 2011,” Health Director Dr. Alina Alonso said. “With these continued confirmations from the state lab of the

Pumpkin patch fun at Spookyville, held at Yesteryear Village.

presence of West Nile Virus, it is a good reminder for all to take the necessary preventive measures.” To protect against mosquito bites, people are advised to drain any standing water from around the home or business, as mosquitoes leave their eggs in the smallest water reservoir. Make sure windows and doors are screened properly and in good condition, and use air conditioning. When outside, use an insect repellent that contains DEET or Picardin, wear lightweight long-sleeved shirts, long pants and socks, especially at dusk and dawn.

Mom And Dad Enjoy Their ‘Codependent Living’ Arrangement

I am heading up to Wisconsin to see my 89-year-old father, who still lives at home because we have the world’s best 89-year-old caregiver watching over him — namely, my mother. Dad is fine. He wakes up for breakfast, lunch, dinner and Packers games. He had a quintuple bypass a few years back, so he could probably survive on his bajillion pills alone, but he doesn’t, because mom is a good cook. He likes oatmeal for breakfast, which he eats with his special spoon. The spoon is special because its curvature exactly matches the curvature of his special bowl, enabling him to get to every drop of milk. When he’s watching TV, it’s from his

Deborah Welky is

The Sonic BOOMER special chair — a recliner, of course. I don’t know what seniors did before the invention of the recliner. I suppose they had to rock and, rocking chairs being as hazardous as they are, they had to do this on the front porch. The recliner and the TV set were a match made in heaven for

people who preferred to live indoors. I was planning a trip up anyway, but now it’s an “official” trip because I have to check on them. Mom had a melanoma removed and dad, startled by waking up and not seeing her in the kitchen, tripped on a chair and broke one of his ribs. Ordinarily, this type of accident is what precipitates an “assisted living” discussion, but they are firmly ensconced in what is best described as “codependent living.” The codependent system works because of mom, who goes to the gym three times a week and spends the other four cranking out afghans, whipping through sudoku puzzles and keeping her church solvent. She’s feisty.

But mom is also tired. She tells us so every time any of us visit. We beg her to come live with us, but she wants to stay in Milwaukee. She daydreams about how nice it would be to go where someone else does the cooking and cleaning. Dad is sympathetic and, to his credit, will tour these homesaway-from-home with her every once in a while. Inevitably, each is found lacking in that they are not his home. (Note: This is what happens when home-“makers” do a good job.) We tell him he can bring his spoon, his bowl, his recliner and TV — but it falls on deaf ears. “Home” is so much more than the sum of its parts. And, even though it’s

not the house in which we “kids” grew up, it is the house where mom and dad have lived for decades. Selfishly, we like going there. It smells right. So, it looks like we’re as addicted to mom’s handiwork as dad is. We bring up the subject because it is the right thing to do. Last time I dutifully mentioned moving, mom said, “Oh, I’ll just die here with your father on top of me.” “Mom!” “Not that way! Get your mind out of the gutter!” Having her chastise me like that warms my heart. It’s just another part of “home.”

‘First Man’ Was Interesting, But It Felt Like A Documentary

I am afraid that while First Man, Damien Chazelle’s new film about the race to land a man on the moon, is really interesting, it is not a gripping experience. It is basically a PBS documentary spliced to a strange soap opera, which means that while it certainly can hold our interest, we probably will not really care much about what happens. I will admit, of course, to a wonderful sense of déjà vu in the last moments when we hear the famous lines, “Houston, this is Tranquility Base. The Eagle has landed” and, of course, “first step for man, giant leap for mankind.” But this comes after a very long trip. The film focuses on Neil Armstrong (Ryan Gosling) and his long-suffering wife Janet (Claire Foy) as they lose their daughter to cancer at age two. Armstrong cries… the last emotion he shows until a few minutes before the end. He volunteers

‘I’ On CULTURE By Leonard Wechsler for the Gemini program, flies the difficult Gemini 8 mission and is accepted into Apollo. He and the other astronauts go through the same stressful tests we have seen over and over in so many films. When tragedy kills the team originally planned for a lunar landing, he gets the nod to command and be the first on the moon. And then we watch the famous mission… the best part of the movie. There are few emotional touches in the

film except through Foy. Her eyes seem always wide open in stress and pain. She smokes a lot, a sure sign she is stressed. Aside from feeling sorry for a friend whose husband is killed, her main focus is trying to survive. Even at the end, as the two Armstrongs stare at each other through glass as he is quarantined after the mission, they have nothing to say to each other. This is a major weakness. We know Armstrong will reach the moon — I watched him myself about 50 years ago — but he lives in an emotional wasteland. Several people complained to me that the filmmakers left out Armstrong’s placing the American flag on the moon. I noted that these days, it’s all about demographics. It is a sign of how far Hollywood has moved away from much of the American public. The cast was OK. Gosling, normally a

wonderfully expressive actor, suppresses just about all emotions. Yes, Armstrong did not show much in the way of emotions, but if you want people to like him in the film, he has to seem human. Foy was over the top most of the time. She did laugh at least once, but quite possibly not much more. The rest of the cast did not have to do much emoting, which made real applause for them difficult. Corey Stoll does stand out a bit as a really obnoxious Buzz Aldrin; chances are there was some drama between the two men, but we never really see it. Things kept moving swiftly enough that it never got boring. Watching the politicians planning the speech to be made if things went wrong and the astronauts were stranded on the moon was wrenching. But this is a movie about science and

engineers, and it had little time for poetry, surprising since Chazelle’s last film was La La Land. One bit of news for those who go to the Regal in Royal Palm Beach. It has reached the coveted Round of 16 for worst-run movie theaters in the country, and it is plugging for the championship. Having long lines waiting for tickets because there is only one person selling tickets and people have to spend time choosing which seats they will take in empty theaters is deadening and helps miss film time. And having five people at the candy stand but only one actually working to sell things also ensures long lines and grumbles. Aside from that, the film was really interesting. With the cost of tickets climbing, however, it is a lot to spend for what is essentially a documentary.

Break Free From Your Controlling Husband You sometimes question “how can I be so unhappy when I’m married to such a charming and successful husband?”

All of this this makes you once again think about whether you should just put your energy into saving the marriage (again).

But then you remember how he constantly puts you down in front of your family. How he belittles you and questions your intelligence. And how he constantly controls you, manipulates you, and prevents you from having normal relationships with friends and loved ones.

If you identify with this DRAMATIZATION you’re likely married to a husband with a personality disorder. He’s probably a Narcissist. If you’ve never heard this before you should take some time to read up on narcissism.

You’re not a greedy person. All you want is to be happy, and feel appreciated in your life, and in your marriage. But you know deep down that your marriage is never going to get better. Your husband is not changing. In fact, he’s just getting worse.

While a divorce for you will likely not be hassle free, there are some basic things you can learn that can minimize your husband’s ability to make the process harder than it needs to be.

Divorce is something you never thought you’d ever experience, but you know you must leave the marriage if you’re ever going to have a chance at happiness. And you know now’s the time. Your children have grown into adults and you’re not getting any younger. But at the same time you’re worried. You don’t know where to start, or how all this needs to happen. What you do know is he’s going to make things difficult as you’ve seen how he’s dealt before with others that have crossed him. You feel all alone. Like a prisoner of your own circumstances. You’re worried that nobody will see you and your situation for what it really is. At times, you feel like it will be impossible to ever get out of this unless you leave only with the shirt on your back. But it’s not going to be that simple, as you need to secure your financial future.

Divorce Lawyer Christopher R. Bruce wrote a book specifically focused on helping women understand what they “need to know” as they contemplate divorce from a controlling/manipulative husband. To get your free instant download of the book, go to www. DivorceYourControllingHusband.com and fill out the online download form. You can also elect to get a free hard copy of the book by mail or office pick-up on the website. The book is free, but learning how to confidently approach divorce and move towards a more fulfilling life might just be priceless. Christopher R. Bruce is licensed to practice law in Florida.

Blood pressure is the force of the blood as it circulates throughout a body’s blood vessels. Most everyone is aware that it is standard practice as part of a human’s annual physical to check blood pressure, although not everybody knows that taking good care of pets also includes having their blood pressure checked. Not every pet will need their blood pressure taken; however, a cat or a dog that has an underlying disease that can make them vulnerable to high blood pressure should be assessed. In addition, an animal that is aging, usually around seven or eight years, should have its blood pressure measured. Pets that have been prescribed cardiac medication will also have their blood pressure monitored. When your pet exhibits signs that may indicate high blood pressure, don’t wait to see if the problem will resolve. Instead, call your veterinarian. The faster a diagnosis is made and treatment begun, the better the chances are of a speedy, successful recovery. For healthcare of the highest quality, consider COMMUNITY ANIMAL HOSPITAL OF ROYAL PALM BEACH. Please call 798-5508 for appointments or emergencies pertaining to your pet’s health. We are conveniently located at 11462 Okeechobee Blvd., 1/4 mile east of Royal Palm Beach Blvd. OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. P.S. Veterinarians usually rely only on systolic blood pressure readings in pets since diastolic pressures are more difficult to obtain because of the animals’ small size.

continued from page 1 “My oldest son wanted to start a league for the sport he loved — baseball,” Riedell said. Riedell took the idea to Wellington Parks & Recreation Director Bruce DeLaney, who immediately gave his support and offered the use of a field at Village Park. Since that initial meeting, Village Planner Ryan Harding has gotten involved and been of immense support, according to Riedell. In addition to the use of the field, the village has produced promotional materials, such as handouts and fliers. Currently, Riedell has signed up 14 children with special needs to participate in the showcase game, and she is currently looking to

They had wire dumped in them and all kinds of other materials. Roadside debris was dumped out alongside the roads, and we would pick it up. We were looking at trying to clean up the equestrian trails, but the more we tried to clean them up, the more people dumped, because they knew it was going to be cleaned up.” In 2007, the board picked up the topic of equestrian trails again, focusing on the Royal Palm Beach Pines Natural Area, but the parking area was small. “They wouldn’t let us into that

sign up additional players to bring the number to at least 20. The League of YES is also in need of volunteers to shadow each of the participants during the game. “We’re looking for players to come out to play,” Riedell said. “We’re a grassroots organization relying on word of mouth from friends within the community.” Among those friends that have supported the League of YES have been the numerous schools within Wellington that have helped recruit students to participate in the league. “Local schools have been sending support,” Riedell said. “They’re getting the word out there.” Lindburgers has stepped up as a corporate sponsor by purchasing hats and shirts for the players from Wellington’s own Scotty’s Sport Shop. Chick-fil-A and Kona Ice will also be sponsoring the show-

case game, with Chick-fil-A providing a gift card to every player and buddy. Riedell’s passion for the league stems from the experience with her son Bryan, who is on the autism spectrum and has Asperger syndrome. He is now a student at Wellington High School, where he is in the fire academy and the marching band. “It’s a challenge to ensure that he has the same as everyone else in terms of opportunities,” Riedell said. “There have been challenges along the way. You have to do your own research. They wanted him to attend an inclusionary setting with other disabled students, but we kept him mainstreamed. Now he’s an honor student. He has beaten every single obstacle with a support system in the community.” Riedell is hopeful that by being in the league, participating youth

will not just improve their lives, but also their outlook on life. “I want people with autism to be heard,” Riedell said. “We want to give people with disabilities the chance to love America’s pastime. We want to give them pride and show them that they can do everything everyone else can do. We want to develop those with disabilities to build confidence and overcome obstacles. And we want them to build cognitive skills and bond and create new friendships.” If the first showcase game is successful, Riedell is optimistic that the village will continue its support through the use of its fields at venues, such as Village Park. Those wanting to participate in the game can register up until Friday, Oct. 26. The same deadline applies for those wishing to register as a volunteer/buddy. The inaugural League of YES Florida showcase game will be

held at Village Park at 11700 Pierson Road in Wellington. The event begins at 9 a.m. and will conclude at 1 p.m. For more information,

Bennett called herself “the common-sense candidate.” “I’m the common-sense candidate, and I believe that Americans should come first,” she said. “Do you care about school safety or your taxes going up? Do you care about another school tax? I

do! Do you care about the crime rate, drug addiction and gang rape increasing? I do!” Bennett said that she will place her focus on supporting veterans. “If we can take care of the illegals and dreamers, then we can take care of our veterans,” she said. “I believe that any nation that does not take care of its veterans has no business creating any more. Yet veterans have to fight for their disability rating just to get the coverage an illegal receives. Why does an illegal get scholarships, medical care, reduced college fees, yet taxpaying

Americans do not? The veterans are our external protectors, and the policemen are our internal protection, and without them, there would be chaos. Let’s keep our promises and take care of the veterans, police, first responders, firemen and emergency personnel. They earned it.” Bennett said that she is against all new taxes. “I’m against any new tax. Here is why. We have more than 300 people a day moving into Palm Beach County. This increases our property revenue. Yet our taxes went up. The citizens voted in the

‘penny tax,’ in which the school board will receive more than $2.7 billion over the next 10 years. The lottery money for education is there, plus Palm Beach County received $88 million to hire the 75 security guards, so they have enough money to give the teachers a raise. I’d like to see some accountability and transparency before there is another school tax request. Say no to any new tax,” she explained. Bennett said that a renewed focus on fighting crime will solve other societal problems. “I’m a director for the Opi-

oid Awareness Foundation and hear plenty of stories about how gangs are running drugs through the schools. Wouldn’t you like that stopped? I’m working on it because burglaries, car theft, domestic violence and murder are all crimes [related] to drug addiction,” she said. “Let’s solve these issues through prevention and reopening the mental health facilities we closed in the 1960s.

Argue said there are provisions at Acreage Community Park for a horse trail and equestrian parking area at the southeast corner of the park, which will go before Palm Beach County this month for a permit. “We’ll do what we have to do to have the permit and the parking,” she said. “We can go for a grant and look at putting some water and a couple of other things the county is going to want us to have. However, anything over and above that is going to require some additional planning and funding. What we have to decide now is what we do next.” Argue stressed that it is important to preserve the area’s equestrian community. “With all the development that’s going on around us, I feel like our equestrians are getting pushed out,” she said. “What I hear from

residents is that there is no safe way to ride anymore.” Supervisor Jennifer Hager said her priority is to make the trails safe to ride. “Different kinds of people are moving out here, and they don’t have the same respect that we might when we’re driving,” Hager said. Resident Melissa Bednarik, who is a member of Western Equestrian Shows & Trails, said she has volunteers who are willing to work with ITID and make donations to improve the trails. “Just tell us where to aim and what we need to do. We are willing to do it,” Bednarik said. “We are willing to make things happen. I know you guys have made the effort to drive around and look at these trails and crossings. I’d like to see some signs posted.” Bednarik said she used to keep her horse near Hall Blvd. a mile away from the Nicole Hornstein

Equestrian Park, but she did not like the ride along Hall to the park. “Getting to the park was so hair-raising along Hall,” she said. “It was dangerous. I loved boarding there. One of the best things was being so close, but getting there, you took your life in your hands.” Bednarik said there are many people in the community who don’t know about horses, and whatever could be done to raise awareness of driver courtesy toward riders would help. Robinson said there are a number of things within the budget, including new signage and additional mowing, that ITID staff is working on. “What we’re planning right now is adding another mowing cycle during the summertime,” he said. Resident Dixie Thiery, a new member of the Acreage Landowners’ Association and a member of Western Equestrian Shows

& Trails, said there aren’t many places like The Acreage. “I’d really like to see us preserve and expand upon what we have here and not lose it to incoming development or non-equestrian-experienced residents,” she said. “A suggestion we had as members was improved signage and consistent signage.” Thiery said she has seen a variety of different equestrian-related signs in the area that are often unclear as to their meaning or hard to read, and that educational signs might inform drivers of such things as not to honk their horns as they pass a rider. She said the Florida Statutes notice to “use reasonable care” when passing a rider is not defined. “Maybe we should define that, since we are an equestrian community,” Thiery said. “Maybe it should be ‘20 miles an hour,’ maybe it should be ‘stop when a horse is crossing.’ I don’t know.

It is in the statute, but how is it interpreted?” Thiery would like to see better upkeep of the trails, as well as the signs and an updated trail map. She said it would be costly, but a split-rail fence between the trail and the road would improve safety. “I would like to see, if possible, a connection at the north end of The Acreage to the J.W. Corbett Wildlife Management Area, as well as to other communities like Loxahatchee Groves, Deer Run and White Fences,” she said. Thiery added that she would like to see a designated horse crossing at Seminole Pratt Whitney Road and watering stations along the trails. She suggested fundraisers by Western Equestrian Shows & Trails to assist in paying for some of the requests. “We hope to develop a working relationship with ITID,” Thiery said.

By Gene Nardi Town-Crier Staff Report The Palm Beach Central High School football team weathered two storms, an early rain delay and a late surge by Seminole Ridge High School to win their sixthstraight game of the season 27-14 on Friday, Oct. 12. The Broncos (6-1, 2-0) scored enough early on to keep the game out of reach for the Hawks. “[Rick] Casko is a hell of a coach, and he brought his team in prepared,” Palm Beach Central head coach Tino Ierulli said. “The week of practice was the best we’ve ever had, but I was disappointed in the way we played.” The Broncos scored on an early C.J. Stewart touchdown to

go ahead 7-0 before the weather delay. Once play resumed, Palm Beach Central capped a nine-play drive with a 30-yard Tanner Nairn field goal to extend the lead to 10-0 by the start of the second quarter. The Hawks’ offense struggled through the first half. The Bronco defense pressured often. With seven minutes remaining in the first half, the Bronco defense forced a fumble, which led to an eventual two-yard touchdown run by Stewart for his second of the night. The score lifted the Broncos to 17-0. Palm Beach Central, determined to put the game out of reach, attempted an onside kick, but the Hawks were ready and recovered the ball. The play put Seminole Ridge

in good position with only half the field to work. Seminole Ridge (4-3, 0-2) drove into Bronco real estate, and in just three plays cut the margin to 17-7 with a short Corey Polk touchdown run. The Broncos turned another

Hawk turnover into points with seconds remaining in the first half. Nairn put up a 23-yard field goal to lift the Broncos to 20-7. Palm Beach Central extended that lead after a Hawk personal foul, when quarterback Michael

Moreland found receiver Bryan Robinson on a 54-yard touchdown pass. The score was now 27-7 in favor of the Broncos. With the game slipping away from the Hawks, they shoved back. Opportunity struck when a Palm Beach Central special team miscue on a snap deep in their own red zone set up possession for Seminole Ridge at the 10-yard line. Hawk quarterback Kaimyn Castilla punched through for a one-yard touchdown run to make the score 27-14 with 9:27 left in the game. The dramatic turn occurred when the Hawks recovered an onside kick immediately after that second touchdown. The play set up the Hawks with half of the field to

navigate to make it a one-score game. The nail-biting play for both sidelines was when Hawk receiver Ty’Korian Brown split the Bronco defenders deep and broke open for a would-be touchdown. However, as an extended Brown reeled in the pass, he could not control the ball as he collided with the turf. The Broncos were able to secure the 27-14 victory and remain unbeaten at home and in district play. Eight sacks on the night from the Bronco defense and two forced turnovers made it difficult for Seminole Ridge. The Hawks dropped their third straight after going unbeaten 4-0 to start the season. “This is no doubt the biggest See PBCHS VS SRHS, page 24

RPBHS Wildcats Fall Short In 7-0 Overtime Loss To West Boca

By Gene Nardi Town-Crier Staff Report The Royal Palm Beach High School football team hosted district rival West Boca Raton High School on Friday, Oct. 12. Still looking for their first win of the season, the Wildcats fell short, losing 7-0 in overtime to the Bulls on homecoming night. Neither team had notched a win for the 2018 season and looked to earn their first, after officials delayed the game due to bad weather conditions. The Wildcat defensive unit impressed through the night, pressuring the West Boca quarterback often. Royal Palm Beach stopped the Bulls on their first possession of the game. The Wildcat offense moved the ball on Royal Palm Beach’s opening drive but could not get past midfield. With both teams struggling to reach the red zone, neither seemed content on punting, attempting to convert on fourth down through the first half. The first real threat of the first

half was when West Boca drove to the Royal Palm Beach 40-yard line, but the Wildcats forced a fourth-and-six situation. In lieu of a field goal, the Bulls elected to attempt to move the chains, but the stubborn Wildcat defensive unit negated the attempt. The play turned the ball over to the Royal Palm Beach. Royal Palm Beach looked poised to possibly take the lead, reaching the Bulls’ 30-yard line, but penalties pushed them back to midfield. Quarterback Peyton Mainolfi connected with Kenarvis Bowles on a huge pass play to set the Wildcats up inside the West Boca 20. The team continued to drive to the Bulls’ 13, but miscues and penalties again pushed them out of the red zone. With the Wildcats just out of field goal range, the West Boca defense stalled the fourth down conversion attempt. It wasn’t until 6:52 in the second quarter when the Wildcats finally forced a West Boca punt when faced with a fourth and long. On the Wildcats’ next possession, they

drove to the West Boca 36-yard line but were again denied entry into the red zone by the Bulls’ defense. The second half was much of a replay of the first, with both teams struggling to move the ball, and when they did, could not convert a

drive into points. Regulation play ended with the game scoreless, and the contest entered overtime. The Bulls were able to score on their possession and steal the game 7-0. It marked the first victory of the season for the Bulls and left Royal Palm Beach still in

search of an elusive win. Christian DiCristino recorded a sack for the Wildcat defense, and Elijah Doriscar was instrumental for the defense with two tackles, one for a loss and a pass breakup. Linebacker Andy Petit-Homme had a forced fumble. Hadley

recovered a fumble, and receiver Latorrius Terry had an interception and 100 yards receiving. The Wildcats had another district contest on the road against William T. Dwyer High School on Thursday, Oct. 18, but results were not available by press time.

Application Process Open For 2019 Great Charity Challenge

With a strong belief that change happens through the power of communities, Palm Beach County charities will get a chance to inspire and expand their impacts this coming February. For the past nine years, equestrians and their mounts have been uniting the local community at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center in Wellington. These teams of riders have one goal in mind: to give Palm Beach County charities a chance to win up to $150,000.

The Great Charity Challenge, presented by Fidelity Investments, is inviting all Palm Beach County-based charities to apply to participate in the event’s 10th edition of the pro-amateur relay show jumping competition. Thirty of these randomly drawn charities will meet their randomly paired teams on Saturday, Feb. 2, 2019, to receive a share of the purse of more than $1 million. The application process opened at noon on Oct. 15 and will remain active through 5 p.m. on Nov. 15

via www.greatcharitychallenge. com. All nonprofit organizations in Palm Beach County are invited to apply and try their luck. The GCC, founded in 2010 by Mark and Katherine Bellissimo of Equestrian Sport Productions, and their daughter Paige, has distributed more than $12.2 million from the equestrian community to 230 nonprofits in Palm Beach County. All the money raised gets distributed to local nonprofits every year, with first place receiving $150,000 and all participating

charities being guaranteed a minimum amount of $15,000. Over the last four years, the GCC brought team spirit to a new level by incorporating themes into this yearly celebration. With riders dressed up in costumes and horses adorned to match them, this year’s theme of “We are the World” will focus on promoting unity and celebrate the cultural differences in the community. An art contest involving all 12 Wellington public schools will showcase the different causes represented that evening. “This tenth year honors the diversity in our community,” said Mark Bellissimo, managing partner of Wellington Equestrian

Partners. “With riders from all over the world, our organization showcases the benefit that comes from embracing each other’s differences and unity toward this greater good. This event is truly the legacy of the Winter Equestrian Festival and the sponsors involved. We can’t thank them enough for their support.” Paige Bellissimo, who is actively involved in the community, added that the GCC is a unique event. “It allows us to raise awareness of the diverse charitable organizations throughout the community,” she said. “We hope that this year’s edition will unite all involved, from the sponsors and riders, to

the nonprofits involved, and the community at large. We are very grateful for those who support the effort.” If you know of a deserving Palm Beach County-based charity, have them visit www.greatcharitychallenge.com for full application details and information. The first drawing to select the lucky charities from those that have applied to participate in the 2019 GCC will be held on Dec. 1 at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center. For the latest event information and application guidelines, visit www.great charitychallenge.com or follow on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ greatcharitychallenge.

continued from page 23 and fastest team we’ve faced all year,” Seminole Ridge head coach Rick Casko said. “I’m just really proud of our kids and the way they played. They hung in there.” Bronco quarterbacks Michael Moreland and Anarjahe Douriet combined for more than 200 yards and a touchdown. Robinson is credited with four receptions for 79 yards and a touchdown. Stewart totaled two scores, while Griffin Lampton led the Bronco defense with nine tackles, four for a loss, and four sacks. Janil Brown recorded eight tackles. The Broncos will be on the road Friday, Oct. 19 to continue district play against Jupiter High School, while Seminole Ridge will host Pahokee.
