ITID Board Asserts Authority To Remove Swale Vegetation

By Ron Bukley Town-Crier Staff Report The Indian Trail Improvement District Board of Supervisors held a lengthy discussion Wednesday about easement obstructions, especially plant growth in swales that hamper drainage in The Acreage.

The board’s challenge is that ITID staff is retrofitting many swales where overgrowth and some large trees have been allowed to grow in the swales, and some residents do not want the trees removed.

ITID Attorney Frank Palin had been asked to prepare a summary on the district’s authority to maintain and/or remove vegetation in the swales.

“It really isn’t summarizing at all,” Palin said. “The board has unlimited authority to maintain and operate its works within [the] physical boundaries of its easements.”

Supervisor Ralph Bair noted that when the district retrofits swales, it

does both sides of the slope.

“It seems to me that in certain areas, we’re only maintaining the road side of the slope, not the property owner’s side of the slope,” he said. “Is that going to be the norm now?”

He pointed out that a resident at the meeting had asked to have his side of the swale mowed.

ITID President Betty Argue said that the district makes it clear that it is the landowners’ responsibility to maintain their side of the swale. Argue added that she had talked to District Manager Rob Robinson about a change in the slope elevations.

“We have some residents, such as myself, who have complained about the fact that when it was changed, you can’t ride your lawnmower anymore because it was too steep,” she said. “Now, it becomes an issue for the district, because this resident is not maintaining their own swale.”

Robinson said the slope ratio

depends on the elevation of the property and the street.

“We have a specific criterion that we use in order to get the drainage out of that line,” he said.

“We always try go get a maintainable slope at three to one, and that can be done on ridable mowers.

Some people feel that is unsafe, but a minimum three-to-one slope is maintainable with a standard riding lawnmower.”

Bair said that his swale angle had been increased during a retrofit, but he was able to cut it with a low-riding mower.

“In a retrofit, that’s going to happen because a lot of the swales are filled in,” he said.

Supervisor Tim Sayre acknowledged the district’s ability to maintain the swales but questioned the district’s ability to charge a resident who willfully plants trees in the swales double the cost of removing vegetative growth.

He explained that some resiSee ITID SWALES, page 4

Three Circuit Court Seats To Be Decided In November

By M. Dennis Taylor Town-Crier Staff Report The nine candidates vying for three seats on Palm Beach County’s 15th Judicial Circuit Court were pared down to six during the primary election. The Nov. 6 general election pits the top two vote-getters from the primary election against each other in the races for the Group 13, Group 18 and Group 25 seats.

The Town-Crier reached out to all six candidates seeking the sixyear, non-partisan terms and asked them to describe their background, why they are running and why voters should choose them.

GROUP 13 Scott Ryan Kerner and Alcolya J.L. St. Juste were the top two vote-getters in the race to replace

retiring Judge David French in Group 13.

With 41 percent of the vote, Kerner came in first during the primary.

“I am running for circuit court judge because I believe in seeking the truth, pursuing justice and serving our community,” Kerner said.

Born and raised in Palm Beach County, Kerner is the brother of Palm Beach County Commissioner Dave Kerner.

“I am very passionate about this community. I have more than 10 years of litigation and trial experience in our Palm Beach County court system,” Kerner said. “As a civil trial attorney, I focus on complex litigation matters and ensure that the rights of individu-

als are protected and everyone is treated fairly.”

Kerner explained that this experience will help him on the bench.

“I understand how a courtroom works, how cases are heard efficiently, and how to ensure impartiality and the rule of law are upheld,” he said. “My trial and litigation experience distinguish me from my opponent and will allow me to serve effectively on the bench from day one.”

Kerner noted that he has received endorsements from several entities.

“I am proud to be endorsed by a wide range of organizations and leaders in our community, including the Fraternal Order of Police, the PBC Police Benevolent AssoSee JUDGES, page 18

Lox Council Musters Unanimous Vote To Approve Tax Hike

By Ron Bukley Town-Crier Staff Report The Loxahatchee Groves Town Council gave final approval Tuesday to a significant tax rate increase for the upcoming fiscal year — additional revenue designated to replenish the town’s depleted reserves and help improve deteriorated roads.

The approved budget of $13.39 million includes a tax rate of 3.0 mills, 49.74 percent higher than the rollback rate of 2.0035 mills, and up from the current year’s tax rate of 2.15 mills.

The hike comes after a year of the town scrimping and depleting all reserves after the council failed to approve a recommended tax hike last year.

The millage rate and budget were approved after debate on whether to postpone the meeting, since it was scheduled for the beginning of the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur that evening.

Ultimately, after a failed 3-2 motion to postpone the meeting, the council decided to go ahead due to the importance of approving the tax rate and budget, and that the town had already paid to advertise the meeting for that evening.

Councilman Todd McLendon pointed out that two people had brought up the issue of Yom Kippur, and that they could have had the opportunity to speak about the budget twice at previous meetings.

Mayor Dave Browning pointed out that Yom Kippur is not a federal holiday, and Town Attorney Michael Cirullo said that although Yom Kippur is one of the Jewish High Holidays, the meeting’s subject matter does not interfere with anyone’s ability to practice their religion.

When discussion returned to the budget, Councilwoman Joyce Batcheler said that she had taken the budget to an accountant for review.

“I understand that some of you out there have accounting skills,” she said. “I don’t possess these skills.”

After reviewing it herself, Batcheler took a copy of the budget to an expert who has worked

with Arthur Andersen and Ernst & Young, two of the top-recognized accounting firms in the world, to see if there was anything improper, incorrect or hidden.

“The gentleman I sought advice from reviewed everything,” she said. “He thought everything looked fine. His first response to me, though, was frightening. The reason was, he said, ‘You have no money. You have no means to generate money.’”

He noted that the town is one catastrophe away from not being able to meet its budgetary requirements, she said. Batcheler added that she is concerned about the town having enough money to move forward.

“I’m sitting up here as a taxpayer, just like anybody else,” she said. “I’m retired. I’m on a pension. I do some part-time work, but nevertheless, I pay the same taxes everybody else does… If we want to keep our town a town, then we have to look at what it takes to get us by. I don’t think anybody out there, whether you’re watching online or here, wants to continue seeing what we went through this last year with our roads.”

Batcheler said that she felt the council and its management firm did a great job of holding the town together despite spending down most of the reserves.

“We took care of the worst of the emergencies,” she said. “We’re not out of the hurricane season yet.

One heavy rain could put us right back to a terrible situation. We have no money left.”

She pointed out that Councilman Dave DeMarois took a lot of grief over the past year for casting the single vote that excluded getting the suggested tax rate increase last year, but now he was making the motion to approve the 3.0 mills.

DeMarois said people are now going to expect the council and the town to come through with improved services.

“If we don’t, then they will know who to blame, and that’s us,” DeMarois said.

Armas: Stats Show Strong Improvements At RPBHS

By Chris Levy Town-Crier Staff Report The Royal Palm Beach Education Advisory Board met Monday, Sept. 17 and viewed a trio of presentations from Royal Palm Beach High School, the School District of Palm Beach County and the Watch DOGS program.

Councilman Jeff Hmara — who serves as the council’s liaison to the board — spoke highly of the newly reconstituted board, comprised of three professional educators and three parents.

Chair Dr. Bill Thallemer is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame who received a master’s degree and a doctorate in higher education leadership from the University of Mississippi. He has more than 20 years of education experience and is currently an executive consultant for TalentQuest.

Vice Chair Krystal Clark brings experience from a major urban

school district having served six years on the North Chicago CUSD Board of Education with two years as president. She holds a bachelor’s degree in social sciences and is a mother of three and a grandmother of seven.

“Bill Thallemer has a doctorate in education leadership,” Hmara said. “We couldn’t have chosen someone better as chair. I have been involved with the board for four or five years. I’ve learned some really good things, and we have attracted really good people.”

The first to speak was Dr. Jesus Armas, who has been the principal at Royal Palm Beach High School since 2010. He gave a lengthy presentation filled with statistics touting how the school has improved in several key areas during his tenure.

“We need to meet the holistic needs of children,” Armas said.

“They come as 14-year-old chil-

dren and leave as 18-year-old young adults.”

One statistic that stood out was the increase in RPBHS students receiving free or reduced-price lunches. In 2010, 51 percent of the 2,062 students at RPBHS received the free or reduced-price lunch, but by 2018, 80.4 percent of the 2,309 students at RPBHS were recipients. Armas noted that this was the largest increase in the school district.

Armas next focused on security — particularly in the wake of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.

RPBHS has two police officers on site, along with a police aide at the entrance. In addition, the school employs seven security personnel and has an 18-member crisis response team.

The connection between RPBHS and its alumni network was stressed by Armas. He ex-

plained that 21 members of his staff are alumni and 22 have a relative currently enrolled at the school.

Between 2010 and 2017, the number of student disciplinary referrals dropped by a factor of six.

In 2010, 1,892 students received a referral, whereas only 320 received a referral in 2017.

Armas went on to cite the increased number of middle schoolers in the community applying to the RPBHS choice academies.

That number was only 69 in 2011, but it grew to 270 for 2017.

“That’s a number we’re happy with,” Armas said. “Our academies are filling up.”

Among the academies at RPBHS are HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) — which is one of the longest on-going programs in the school district — as well as medical sciences, business marketing, STEM and the Navy JROTC.

Among the academic programs at RPBHS are International Baccalaureate (IB), AICE from the University of Cambridge, AP courses and AVID. AVID is designed for students who will be the first members of their family to attend college. Armas noted that there are more than 250 AVID students at RPBHS, which make them one of the largest groups in the school district.

Thallemer was impressed by the school’s new IB program. Armas was pleased that students in the western communities no longer had to make the lengthy commute to Riviera Beach to participate in an IB program.

“We always wanted an IB program,” Thallemer said. “It’s the right thing for our community. A rising tide lifts all boats.”

The most impressive statistic of the RPBHS presentation was See RPBHS, page 4

Sheriff: PBSO Remains County’s Top Mental Health Provider

By Chris Levy Town-Crier Staff Report The Central Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce held a luncheon on Thursday, Sept. 13 focused on mental healthcare in Palm Beach County. The two keynote speeches were from Dr. Marisa Azaret, psychology division director at the Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, and from the county’s largest provider of mental health services — Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw.

Chamber Chair Robbin Lee, CEO of Wellington Regional Medical Center, introduced each of the afternoon’s speakers.

Bradshaw explained that his department is the largest mental health provider in the county, noting that 85 percent of mental health issues involve the PBSO, and his agency deals with 3,700 mental health cases a year, which amounts to between 10 and 12 a day.

However, this brings about many challenges. “Deputies don’t have the skills or intricacies for mental health treatment,” Bradshaw said. “Five years ago, I went to the legislature for money to start a mental health program. They approved $1 million, but the governor vetoed it… I did it anyhow.”

The program launched with seven experts that had either a master’s degree or doctorate in psychology or social services.

“Seven doesn’t scratch the surface,” Bradshaw said. “I am going back to the legislature. I want 21 teams.”

Bradshaw stressed that mental health services needs more emphasis and funding both in Palm Beach County and across the nation. For example, he commented on the case of Nikolas Cruz and

last February’s school shooting in Parkland.

“Someone knew ahead of time.

He fell through the cracks. The signs were there,” Bradshaw said.

“There were too many pieces. He should have had proper treatment in proper facilities.”

Bradshaw added that the PBSO’s mental health unit dealt with Cruz’s brother in Lantana through Florida’s Baker Act. “That’s how the system should work,” he said.

Bradshaw added that 10 different minors in Palm Beach County have come in contact with the department’s mental health unit since the Parkland shooting. “If we don’t come together and pay more attention, [school shootings] are going to keep happening,” Bradshaw said. “Let’s change it.”

Bradshaw touted the new Student Protect app, which so far has been downloaded 20,000 times. He said it has already been used successfully and noted one example where the app was used to a catch a pedophile riding a bicycle in front of a local school repeatedly.

“It’s a sad state of affairs when I have to handle these problems,” Bradshaw said. “I don’t think it’s my job to be the biggest mental health provider in the county. I don’t like it. It’s not the right way to do things.”

Bradshaw then turned to the issue of gun control. He called for a database that includes mental health information and pointed out that many shootings involve guns obtained legally due to a lack of available information on a purchaser’s mental health history.

He did not say specifically what information would be collected about members of the public who

come into contact with the mental health system.

“An AR-15 is an assault rifle,” Bradshaw said. “It’s not for hunting — not for pinging cans. There is no way to know if someone has mental health issues when they are buying a gun or applying for a concealed weapons permit…

It’s not the instrument — it’s whose hands we put it in. A knife, gun, rock or car can all be used as weapons by someone with a mental health issue.”

In her presentation, Azaret stressed the simple mantra, “mental illness is common — without mental health, there is no health.”

She has more than 30 years of experience with pediatric psychology and is the Emmy-winning host of Vive la Salud con Dra. Azaret on CNN Español.

“Of the 74.5 million children in the United States, an estimated 17.1 million have or have had a psychiatric disorder, more than the number of children with cancer, diabetes and AIDS combined,” Azaret said, quoting the Child Mind Institute. “Half of all psychiatric illnesses occur before the age of 14, and 75 percent occur before the age of 24.”

Azaret explained that according to the Centers for Disease Control, the most common disorders affecting children are ADHD, conduct problems, anxiety and autism.

Adolescents — classified as ages 12 to 17 — are also affected by illicit drug use/substance abuse disorder, alcohol abuse and cigarette dependence.

According to the American Psychiatric Association, suicide is the leading cause of death among adolescents. Often, children’s interaction with others leads to

bullying behavior.

“There is a serious problem with bullying,” Azaret said. “The numbers are scary. There is a tremendous increase in elementary school and middle school bullying.

Kids don’t talk — they don’t have the language.”

Azaret went on to list the effects from untreated mental illness.

These included worsening of the problem (chronicity), somatic complaints, worsening of chronic conditions, poor social and behavioral development, poor academic performance, poor self-esteem and unhealthy life choices.

Mental illness and the family is another factor that Azaret touched on, explaining that parental mental illness leads to an environment that is inconsistent and unpredictable, and also provides inherited risks.

“If the parent is not treated, it is extremely difficult to treat kids,” Azaret said. “It is impossible to [promote mental health in children] without seeing the parents.”

Statistics presented by Azaret showed that only 20 percent of those needing access to mental healthcare receive necessary services.

Azaret outlined her future goals, including expanding relationships with community organizations, advocacy groups and grassroots organizations, adding that the three biggest challenges are poor interagency communication, limited insurance coverage and reimbursement, and fighting stigma.

“Mental illness is not a personal failure,” Azaret said. “In fact, if there is failure, it is to be found in the way we have responded

to people with mental and brain disorders.”

Dr. Lori Lane Hansen, a podiatric surgeon with the LA Podiatry Group and chair of the Central Palm Beach County Chamber Medical Board of Governors, also spoke at the luncheon.

Hansen pointed out that there are now more safety officers than counselors in schools, which she claimed contributed to the Parkland shooter “slipping through the cracks.”

Hansen cited the American School Counselors Association recommendation of a ratio of one counselor per 250 students needing to be met. At present, the ratio is one counselor per 444 students, according to the Department of Education.

Lox Council OKs Plan To Strike Equestrian Trail Fencing Rule

By Ron Bukley Town-Crier Staff Report The Loxahatchee Groves Town Council, sitting as the Local Planning Agency, recommended approval Tuesday of an ordinance that would remove from the comprehensive plan a fencing requirement on equestrian trails on lettered roads.

Later in the meeting, the council approved the preliminary reading of the ordinance.

The fencing requirement has been a stumbling block for the

town to establish equestrian trails along canal easements formerly owned by the Loxahatchee Groves Water Control District, which passed the issue on to the town when the district became dependent.

Planning Consultant Jim Fleischmann said that several months ago, the council had directed staff to draft the amendment to delete the policy requiring fencing along canal bank easements where the proposed equestrian trails run.

Fleischmann said the intent

of the fencing requirement was to insure the safety of riders and residents.

Councilman Dave DeMarois made a motion to recommend approval of the ordinance.

During public comment, former LGWCD Supervisor John Ryan said he wished that Nina Corning, who sits on the town’s Roadways, Equestrian, Trails & Greenway Advisory Committee (RETGAC) was at the meeting to provide input.

“She spent a lot of time review-

ing liability issues with regard to trails, a fence to protect landowners’ property that borders the maintenance roads, and to protect the horses from dogs or other animals inside the fence,” Ryan said. “It was very important in terms of allowing use of the trails throughout the town. I think if you’re going to give up on the trails — and pretty much everything I’ve seen indicates that you’re going to give up on the trails — Nina Corning and the committee ought to be able to make a presentation as to just how

critical filling in the fence gaps is.”

Ryan said that creating an equestrian trail system has been a big item of discussion for years, and a lot of effort went into making it possible.

“I know we’ve got some issues out there, but I don’t think it’s appropriate to act on this without a RETGAC presentation on the liability issues and whether this really means the town council is going to give up on the trails,” he said.

Former Councilman Ron Jarriel

said removing the fencing requirement was the result of a councilman feeling that the town could not afford to put in fencing, but he said that grants are available for such projects, and the town has already done research on that.

Jarriel explained that the only thing that stopped the town from getting approved the first time was its inability to show ownership of the roads, which has since been resolved.

Two New Members Take Seats On Wellington’s Zoning Board

By Chris Levy Town-Crier Staff Report Wellington’s Planning, Zoning & Adjustment Board met on Wednesday, Sept. 12. At issue were the election for positions of chair and vice chair and the approval of Chapter 7 of the village’s amended land development regulations.

At the meeting, the board welcomed two new members: Dr. Carmine Priore and Maureen Martinez.

Priore has been involved with Wellington government since before incorporation. He was first elected to the Acme Improvement District Board of Supervisors in 1992 and served as the board’s

“They didn’t willfully put it there, so I don’t believe that we can charge them double of what it costs,” Sayre said, explaining that it should be absorbed by the unit of development, because the improved drainage is to the overall benefit of the unit.

Argue disagreed, explaining that there are some areas that have

president from 1994 to 1996. After incorporation, he was elected to the inaugural Wellington Village Council in 1996 and served, with a brief hiatus, through 2012. His tenure also included serving as Wellington’s second mayor from 1998 to 2000. He was appointed to the PZA board by Vice Mayor Michael Drahos.

Martinez, who was appointed to the board by Councilman Michael Napoleone, grew up in Palm Beach County and lived in an unincorporated area for 13 years before moving to Wellington three years ago. She is a former Palm Beach County prosecutor who is currently a litigator with the national law firm McDonald

Hopkins based in the West Palm Beach office.

“I wanted to serve on the board because it is an active board,” Martinez said. “It plays a significant role in the community.”

Returning members of the board include Kenneth Kopp, Stephen Levin, Elizabeth Mariaca, Jeffrey Robbert and Alan Shullman.

The election for chair saw a contest between two-term incumbent Mariaca and returning board member Levin. Mariaca was named chair in a close 4-3 vote with support from Kopp, Robbert and Martinez. Levin, Priore and Shullman dissented.

Levin was again a candidate in the second election of the night

— this time for vice chair against incumbent Kopp. In another 4-3 split, Levin was elected vice chair, with Martinez proving the swing vote. Mariaca, Kopp and Robbert dissented.

Levin described himself as a “serial entrepreneur” who had sought a vacant Wellington Village Council seat in 2016 that ultimately went to Councilwoman Tanya Siskind.

The remainder of the meeting focused on a presentation by Development Review Coordinator Cory Lyn Cramer. The village is in the midst of rewriting its land development regulations (LDRs).

Thus far, the PZA board has approved the revised chapters 1, 2,

5, 8 and 9, and the development review manual (DRM). Chapter 5 and the DRM have been approved by the council. Votes on the remaining chapters will be held when the entirety of the rewrite has been completed.

The Sept. 12 meeting focused on Chapter 7. This chapter includes rules on lighting, signage and vegetation, including trees.

The discussion surrounded the manner in which property owners could clear vegetation from their land. Currently, removal of more than 30 percent of a property’s vegetation requires a permit to comply with village code. This is to ensure that the village enjoys a healthy tree canopy and that dam-

aged or dead trees are replaced.

The one key amendment to the chapter proposed by staff was to lower the 30 percent threshold down to 10 percent. This would require property owners in the village to seek permitting to remove more than 10 percent of vegetation to comply with code.

After a brief discussion between board members and staff, the proposal was approved unanimously by the board.

The revised Chapter 7 will now make its way to the council for final approval. Cramer reported that village staff is currently working on Chapter 6 and that Chapter 3 would soon be in development.

become so overgrown that the expense to the district to remove it will be astronomical.

“It’s going to have a tax impact,” she said. “Understand that what you’re suggesting is going down a very slippery slope.”

Argue explained that some residents who refuse to remove their trees and plants are obstructing the district’s responsibility to maintain the swales, and it has the right to charge them for the removal.

“I know for a fact that there are some residents who plant bushes and trees in our easements, and that is an obstruction,” she said.

“We’re not code enforcers. We only enforce it when there is a problem, but if we know that a

resident has willfully planted trees in an Indian Trail easement, then that should not be the burden of the residents in the unit to maintain or to remove.”

One property owner had asked for a waiver on having a tree in his swale removed, but Bair said the larger a tree gets, the harder it is to get out.

“The roots get out to the area worse, and as they rot, they collapse, and then the whole swale goes,” Bair said. “If this is a seven- or eight-year-old tree, and it’s retrofit time, get the thing out now. I’m sorry, no waivers for anybody.”

Argue said the practice in the past has been for staff not to remove what doesn’t need to be

removed. This would be a policy change, she said.

“If we go and we’re doing the swale, and we notice that somebody’s got something in their easement, then we notify them that it has to be removed. No exemptions,” Argue said.

Bair said there cannot be exceptions. “Otherwise, you’d be giving exceptions to this person, that person,” he said. “That’s selective enforcement.”

Sayre said that historically, most of the homeowners have maintained their own swales and do not want the heavy machinery of the district ripping up their landscaping.

Bair said that when the district had private companies cutting the

swales on the main roads, they cut both sides of the swales.

“Some people didn’t like it, others did, but they looked nice,” he said. “It became expensive, but we were trying to hire people during the recession.”

Argue noted that it had been brought up that the district needs to replace mowing equipment over the next several years.

Robinson said the slope mowers are high-maintenance equipment.

“I can speak with the South Florida Water Management District,” he said. “We were charged under $20 per acre to flat mow. We couldn’t do that. It would cost us double that… Slope mowers are a bit more expensive because the machines are more intricate, and

they’re more failure prone as well.”

Bair pointed out that a slope mower also requires a more experienced operator.

Robinson explained that he had been informed by the legal staff that according to the Palm Beach County Uniform Land Development Code, ITID is exempt from acquiring permits for removing vegetation from canal and drainage road easements.

“It has been up to the discretion of the crew chief as they go through if it has been outside of the normal flow,” Robinson said. “The problem is that trees are going to grow. What may be a six-inch caliper or 12-inch caliper now, in 20 years, it’s going to obstruct the flow.”

that number will be 91.1 percent for 2018.

“That’s an impressive number,” Thallemer said.

If there was one thing Armas could change, it would be to have more parents engaging with the school.

“Parent participation is lagging.

I’d like to say we’re doing a really good job there — we’re not,” Armas said, noting that his own son is a student at RPBHS. The next to speak was Amity Schuyler, chief of staff to Super-

intendent Dr. Donald Fennoy.

She was there to talk about the November ballot initiative to authorize a 1 mill levy to allow the school district to support higher teacher pay, better school security, and additional arts and music funding.

“We will be short $50 million in two years if this doesn’t pass,” Schuyler informed the board.

“The half penny we receive from the [sales tax] is for infrastructure only — not personnel.”

The final presentation was by Thallemer to his own board on the topic of the Watch DOGS program he leads in the community. DOGS stands for Dads of Great Students.

He said that the organization’s goals were to promote a positive and supportive school environment. He also spoke about the DAD program, which stands for Dare, Appreciate and Donate.

The organization works closely with schools to provide volun-

teers to assist wherever possible.

It could be organizing books in the library or preventing bullying in the locker room. Each of the volunteers is given a background screening and is approved by the school district. Thallemer said the goal is have male role models to encourage positive activities while protecting the kids from roughhousing and bullying.

In addition to Thallemer, Board Member Dwayne St. Hill is involved in the Watch DOGS organization.

The meeting concluded with board members documenting their experience visiting schools throughout the Royal Palm Beach area.

“Life is going by way too fast,” Thallemer said. “If you’ve never seen a grade school or middle school lunch, you’re missing life.”

The next meeting of the Royal Palm Beach Education Advisory Board will be on Monday, Oct. 15 at 6 p.m. at the Village Meeting Hall.

grade? Are we in danger of being uncultured masses? Do I need to go back to school?

Personally, I have not seen or heard anything to replace the site’s offerings that are not exorbitant and actually utilitarian for most Wellingtonians.

I’m not sure of our economy.

I’m worried about our debt as a nation, and if another economic slowdown or collapse does befall us, should Wellington spend money carelessly/recklessly, instead of holding some for tough times?

Every improvement or construction by government only jacks up our annual maintenance costs and budget, and since we are 95 percent built out, do we really need these facilities?

I’m proud of our new village hall, something we sorely needed, but an arts center is laughable — just another hole in the ground in

which to dump taxes. If an arts center is financially advisable and profitable, where are the capitalist investors? Why is our government trying to look to run yet another business?

Mayor Gerwig reminds me of Trump, and his huge tax cuts without any plans to compensate for the monies no longer available for necessary, existing programs. I fully expect, after the elections, to see the Republicans say we need to cut back on spending to pay our bills (and monies lost to tax cuts).

Beware, Social Security and Medicare will be in their sights. It appears their reasoning is that “they” want it. Sounds elitist to me.

I would hate to witness our village in the same boat, overspending, increasing maintenance costs, to satiate another elitist!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Protect Small Business In Wellington

The Wellington Village Council is currently considering destroying the Lake Wellington Professional Centre and replacing it with a lakeside “beach” and to encourage more kayaking. Only a government council without concern for economics or for citizen impact would even consider such an ill-conceived idea. Only a government would float the idea of destroying a positive economic facility, to be replaced by a costly, negative-tax-cash-flow, unneeded, alligator rich, fake beach.

Wellington citizens and the Wellington business community need to stand up against such an ill-conceived idea and protect the LWPC as it stands today. The tenant range of 120, or 150, or even 170 is grossly under the real personal and economic impact of the LWPC. The impact is much greater than just the businesses that reside in the center.

Every business in the LWPC is responsible for multiples of jobs and economic prosperity in Wellington and the surrounding communities, far beyond the tenant role alone. It is the hub of small business in Wellington.

Every Realtor creates jobs for title attorneys, landscapers, electricians, builders, movers and others. Jobs.

The average CPA has 200 to 400 clients; all those people will be affected. Those CPAs help multiple businesses stay in business, concentrating on running a business instead of figuring out confusing and often contradictory tax regulations. Jobs.

Every builder or general contractor employs site people, cement contractors, carpenters, plumbers, framers, electricians, roofers, landscapers and many others. Jobs.

Engineers employ architects, planners, contractors and builders.

Jobs.

That’s just a short list of the businesses in the LWPC. I could easily go on and illustrate the num-

ber of people directly and indirectly employed and directly affected by businesses in the LWPC, but you get the point.

The Lake Wellington Professional Centre is the heartbeat of small businesses in Wellington.

Bulldozing it is bulldozing small businesses in Wellington. If you like jobs, if you like Wellington’s prosperity, then support the businesses who create those jobs and the far-reaching economic benefit felt all around!

The extensive and far-reaching economic and personal impact is much better for all of Wellington than a fake beach and a few kayakers.

So far, the standout voice of reason comes from Mayor Anne Gerwig. She understands the citizens of Wellington, and the great impact Wellington’s small businesses have on everyone. We need to stand with Gerwig and stand up for the lifeblood of our economy — your neighbor next door, the small business owner.

You don’t need much common sense to figure this one out.

Facts About Polo North

Editor’s note: The following letter is in response to the article “Developer Presents Plan For Polo Club North Homes” published last week.

The property in question was never a nine-hole executive course.

It was six holes of the original Wellington 18-hole golf course. That’s why our street is named “The 12th Fairway.” We were the 12th hole on the original course.

It was part of the original golf course that attracted a lot of us to buy our homes in Wellington in what, at the time, was touted to be a golf course development under construction.

As it turns out, Glenn Straub acquired the Palm Beach Polo property and abandoned the six holes on this side of Forest Hill Blvd., inasmuch as he had no rights to control the perimeter properties.

I’m sure the Wellington His-

torical Society can provide you with the accurate details about this property from inception to today.

Too Many Holidays?

If a Muslim objected to a Loxahatchee Groves Town Council meeting being held during the holy month of Ramadan, between May 16 and June 15, how would that go down in town?

How about if a Hindu found we have a council meeting arranged for Tuesday, Oct. 23, when he or she hopes to observe the Hindu religious holiday of Sharad Purnima, and demanded it to be rescheduled accordingly?

What if a Buddhist had asked that the meeting we might have had on Tuesday, May 29, Buddha Day, be rescheduled?

Next year, St. George’s Day falls on Tuesday April 23. No government work, please?

The answer should, of course, be the same. By all means, observe it according to your faith, but remember where you live: the United States, welcoming immigrants since the 19th century, and inviting guests to come and stay forever.

But when you come to stay in my house, don’t tell me how to run my household, when to go to bed and how to handle my affairs. And definitely don’t try to make my house just like yours. If you don’t like my house, go back to yours.

A Loxahatchee Groves council meeting rescheduled because it happens to fall on Yom Kippur? A dubious product of an unbalanced mind. It’s rude, offensive and smacks of intolerance. And that’s if it was a genuine objection — which it wasn’t.

Those who suggested it should return to school and retake classes in common sense and respect, or go live in a place where they can be assured their chosen holiday will surely be observed as they’d like it to be.

Imagine if Loxahatchee Groves bows its head to every faith’s holidays: every Christian holiday, every Islamic, every Buddhist,

every Hindu, and if we throw in every Catholic holiday, well, there just aren’t enough days in the year!

If you want everything this fabulous country delivers you, embrace it and respect it. Don’t pick and choose which bits you want and which you don’t — real life doesn’t work like that.

You’re either American, or you’re not; regardless of faith or heritage. The rants of a gun-toting, flag waving, right leaning all-American zealot? You’ll have tough time with that — I’m English and my grandparents were Jewish.

Wellington Doesn’t Need An Arts Center

Mayor Anne Gerwig, without an ounce of diplomacy, recently announced that, “I’m the only person, you guys... You don’t bring the same thing that I bring.” This, alluding to her fellow councilpersons, alleging her surveying and land planning experience, to the council.

Wow. I always thought one’s actions, not tooting one’s horn, is the way to go — not grandiose exclamations. If she is the smartest one in the room, does she have to convince the others, or is that just her perception and she is trying to convince herself?

Gerwig first ran as a vocal Republican, and prior to that, party affiliations were unknown, or at least not pronounced. Kind of nice for our community that we don’t require party affiliations proclaimed for elected officials.

If Gerwig is such an uber-Republican, how does she advocate Wellington owning and renting an office building? How to justify this big government intrusion and being a landlord for absolutely no return for the taxpayer, and that’s not counting a million-plus to bring the building up to code.

Then Gerwig drones on about an “arts center” to attract “intelligent people.” LOL! Does that mean the 65,000 here now are not intelligent, and do we need an up-

What’s Justify Worth? A Lot!

The intrinsic understanding of Kentucky Derby racehorse Justify’s current estimated value of $100 million-plus may be a bit of a struggle. But if the horse goes right to stud, that number is just the beginning.

Although keeping the Triple Crown winner on the track is still an option. As this is written, the possibility is always a fright.

After all, the $60 million deal for breeding rights, in place after Justify won the Derby, will undoubtedly be enriched many times over.

Justify has already brought home enough bucks to pay expenses for a while. After the September

tax benefits kick in, the wheeling and dealing will decisively commence. If you have an idea of the “enormous numbers involved” — hats off!

To the club of Justify owners, congratulations! We’re all jealous.

Meanwhile, just for kicks, let’s get a public report in a couple of years — I bet it’s interesting.

Affordable Housing Remains An Issue For Wellington Seniors

By Chris Levy Town-Crier Staff Report Wellington’s Senior Advisory Committee met on Thursday, Sept.

13 for a meeting that featured a presentation on senior housing in the community.

Assistant Planning, Zoning & Building Director Michael O’Dell addressed the committee on the subject of senior housing. His presentation included statistics that showed how seniors desire smaller one- or two-bedroom units, but the village is lacking in these types of available, affordable housing.

As a result, the senior population was remaining settled in larger, 3- to 4-bedroom units for 30 or even 40 years. Many of these homes were becoming both difficult and costly to maintain,

leading to a decline in upkeep that is negatively affecting home values, he explained.

O’Dell stated that homes built between 1970 and 1989 were only seeing 86 percent of the median home price index for Wellington, which was last reported at $327,000.

Community Services Director Paulette Edwards stressed the importance that grants play in helping seniors maintain their aging homes to comply with village codes and homeowners’ association standards. She touted the work that had been done on homes in the village with matching grant funds, particularly in regard to roof repair and replacement.

In other business: • Chair Veronica McCue used

her time to discuss her recent meeting with Village Manager Paul Schofield concerning a suitable location for seniors to spend their free time.

Schofield responded by offering a dedicated room within the Wellington Community Center, which McCue was enthusiastic about.

Following the meeting, Edwards provided the Town-Crier with the details of the new senior room.

“The room will open sometime in October,” Edwards said. “It will be located on the first floor and be open during regular hours.

There will be coffee and there will be games, such as checkers.

We look forward to having our seniors there.”

• The board nominated Vice

Chair Howard Trager as a “Homegrown Hero.”

Trager moved to Florida in 1988 and served as president of the Wellington Lakes HOA and was a board member of the Wellington Chamber of Commerce for seven years. In 1999, he launched The Golden Banner, the official newsletter of the Wellington Seniors Club, which he still edits and publishes. He worked with fifth graders at New Horizons Elementary School to develop their newspaper, The Pioneer Times.

Trager has long served on the board of directors of the Wellington Seniors Club and currently serves as its president, a position he has held twice before. He has served on the Senior Advisory Committee for five years, having

been appointed by Mayor Anne Gerwig. Trager’s selection as a “Homegrown Hero” was unanimously approved by the board.

• The committee heard a presentation from representatives of Wellington Cares, who were on hand to promote their fourth annual luncheon to be held on Friday, Oct. 19 at the Wanderers Club. Wellington Cares is a local nonprofit designed to help seniors age in place. For more info., visit www.wellingtoncaresorg.com.

• Parks & Recreation Director Bruce DeLaney updated the committee on the status of local parks, with particular emphasis on the Wellington Aquatics Complex.

He provided the committee with details on pool usage by local summer camps. Committee Member

Sam Nebb voiced concern about how the potential Lake Wellington redevelopment could affect the pool.

• Senior Services Specialist Jenifer Brito informed the committee about various senior programs that would be taking place in the village, including “Senior Symposium: The Benefits of Art and Music” on Tuesday, Sept. 25 at 11:30 a.m. at the Wellington Community Center.

Brito did much to emphasize the Senior Health Fair that will be held on Thursday, Oct. 18 at the Wellington Community Center from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Free health screenings will be offered at this event. For more information, contact Brito at (561) 753-2476 or jbrito@wellingtonfl.gov.

‘Life In The Doghouse’ Now Showing At Area Theaters

Wellington filmmaker Ron Davis’ latest documentary — Life in the Doghouse — opened with screenings nationwide this month.

A number of limited screenings are planned for Palm Beach and Broward counties over the next several weeks.

Life in the Doghouse focuses on the inspiring story of Danny & Ron’s Rescue, which was founded by part-time Wellington residents Danny Robertshaw and Ron Danta to rescue dogs in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Taking between 40 and 60 dogs per trip in their trailer, the pair ultimately rescued 600 dogs affected by Hurricane Katrina, bringing them back to their South Carolina farm.

Since that time, the duo has rescued more than 10,000 dogs as part of their nonprofit rescue organization. They received the 2008

ASPCA Humanitarian Award for their efforts.

Their unique style of rescue has the dogs living with them in their home, not in kennels, up to 75 at a time. The film provides viewers with an all-access pass into the lives of these men and the remarkable sacrifice it takes as they approach their 10,000th dog rescue and adoption.

Davis is the founder of Docutainment Films, who has directed and produced an impressive array of films. His 2016 equestrian film Harry & Snowman was met with critical and box-office success. He was also behind the lens for Miss You Can Do It for HBO in 2013. His earlier 2010 work, Pageant, earned him 10 festival awards and ran on the Sundance Channel. He is currently in production on his next project, a feature documentary called I Am We.

Upcoming South Florida showings include: • Wednesday, Oct. 3 at the Regal Cinemas Royal Palm Beach 18 RPX in Royal Palm Beach.

• Monday, Oct. 8 at the AMC Weston 8 in Sunrise and the Regal Cinemas Shadowood 16 in Boca Raton.

• Wednesday, Oct. 17 at the AMC CityPlace 20 in West Palm Beach, the Regal Cinemas Broward Stadium 12 & RPX in Plantation, the Cypress Creek Station Stadium 16 Regal Theater in Fort Lauderdale, the Regal Cinemas Magnolia Place 16 in Pompano Beach, the Regal Cinemas Royal Palm Beach 18 RPX in Royal Palm Beach and the Regal Cinemas Shadowood 16 in Boca Raton.

Vanilla Ice was honored for his work in music, television and in his community during the Chairman’s Dinner at the Florida Governor’s Conference on Tourism on Sept. 12.

“Vanilla Ice has been a recognizable artist for nearly 30 years, all the while being a wonderful ambassador for Florida,” Film Florida President Bonnie King said.

“Starting with his record-breaking hip hop career, which continues today, to starring in his own home improvement reality show to his numerous philanthropic contributions, Vanilla Ice continues to help others and accomplish so much, while representing the state of Florida in such a positive way.”

Vanilla Ice released his first record in 1989. A year later the “B” side of that record was released and 72 hours later, radio stations nationwide began receiving re-

quests to play “Ice Ice Baby,” forever marking its place in history as the first hip-hop single to reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.

Vanilla Ice is also the subject of an upcoming documentary. The film tells the story of the rise and redemption of Rob Van Winkle (aka Vanilla Ice) and is slated for a mid-2019 release.

Vanilla Ice goes out of his way to support and encourage young artists and gives graciously to the community he calls home. He hosts an annual holiday block party in Wellington raising money and collecting toys for children in need.

He stars in his own home improvement reality show, The Vanilla Ice Project, now in its eighth season on the DIY Network. In addition, he annually presents the music video award, now named after him, at Florida’s largest film competition and awards show for student filmmakers, the Palm Beaches Student Showcase of Films.

Vanilla Ice is also a staunch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fanatic and a motocross and jet ski champion. He has made cameos in several films and continues to perform around the world.

In 2006, Film Florida started honoring legends in the entertain-

The award recognizes someone that has achieved great success in

the entertainment industry, while also being a great ambassador for the state. Recent recipients of the award include Burt Reynolds, Sharon Gless, and Emilio and Gloria Estefan.

After three long and arduous weeks with around-the-clock care for his chronic laminitis, Pippin McDuff was humanely euthanized on Friday, Sept. 14, the day the article about his life was published. He is missed by mankind and equine alike, and for such a small, old man, he really had presence. He made us laugh with his love of the leaf blower and his silly antics. It was fun to watch him exercise himself (even in his sleep) or play-fight with his 7-year-old stall mate, C.J., who resembled Pippin in his younger years. He had become quite the celebrity amongst those who knew him. He is now grazing in perpetual greener pastures. RIP, PIP! We love you.

Renaissance Charter School At Palms West Remembers Lives Lost On 9/11 It has become a tradition for the Renaissance Charter School at Palms West to solemnly remember the tragic events of Sept.

11, 2001 and to pay respect to the lives lost.

This year, student leaders chose to build a clear plexiglass model of the World Trade Center towers.

Then, 2,996 stones were delivered to all staff members and students.

The initials of those lost that day were then inscribed onto the stones.

Each of the stones were carefully placed inside of the model.

Since the model is clear plexiglass,

the stones with the initials were visible.

The model was then taken outside and the remembrance ceremony was presented to community leaders, police officers, firefighters, families, staff members and entire student body.

Speeches of somber remembrances were given by local dignitaries, along with Principal Steve Epstein and Assistant Principal Gabriella Gonda.

The culmination of the event was the release of 11 symbolic white doves to the thrill and cheers of all in attendance.

Seminole Ridge High School has three semifinalists for the 2019 National Merit Scholarship Program, allowing them to continue in the competition for approximately 7,500 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $31 million that will be offered next spring.

The three honorees are Nicole

Marvez, Immanuel Wilson and Aneeshea Cason.

About 1.6 million high school juniors entered the 2019 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2017 Preliminary SAT/ National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Winners will be announced from April through July.

Plans are underway for a whitehot night of fun at Dreyfoos in White 2018, all to benefit the arts and academic curriculum at the Dreyfoos School of the Arts.

Dreyfoos in White committee members are putting all of the details in place for an unforgettable night at the white-themed pop-up dinner party to be held at a secret location. The location will be revealed one hour prior to the event, set for Sunday, Oct. 21 from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m.

The sixth annual Dreyfoos in White will feature all of the excitement and festivities that have made this a must-attend event of the social season.

At Dreyfoos in White, guests dress in all white and host their own al fresco dinner party, competing for prizes for their table décor ranging from elegant to comical or whimsical. Some guests

bring simple fare, others stage an extravagant feast, while others opt to purchase their meals from the prix fixe menu provided by the Lord’s Place Joshua Catering.

I remember watching a TV show in which they were studying road rage.

This hothead was driving along and had to stop because a construction crew had torn up the street. A worker in an orange vest had spun his sign from “slow” to “stop” just as his car approached, and the driver just lost it. “Of course! Of course!” he was yelling. “They had to tear up my street!” His therapist, who was riding next to him, tried to explain that they had not specifically chosen this street because of him, but there was no convincing the driver. The universe was out to get him.

“How selfish,” I thought. “As if the road crew even knows who this guy is.”

There is a great deal of selfishness that

goes into rage of any kind, even mine.

As if the universe even knows who I am.

“Get over yourself,” calm, rational, good-natured Debbie would say.

However, on a day like today, when things are going badly, Debbie cannot listen to the voice of reason — even her own. Instead, I yell out, “Oh, shut up, you know-it-all!”

I want to be miserable. I want to wallow in my self-pity.

Of course, I could take action. I could get to bed earlier when I know the garbage truck is coming the next day. I could talk to the neighbor about the dog. I could go buy fresh milk, park somewhere else, plug

my flash drive into another device or ask if I can skip the meeting.

But all those things mean making an effort, and I’m not in the mood.

You know what I’m in the mood for?

A hot fudge sundae.

A hot fudge sundae would set the world properly back on its axis, the axis of me.

All I need to do is find someone to make me one. And, after they’ve made it, and brought it to me on a silver platter, and fixed my laptop problem while I was eating it, I will turn to them and say, “Those were walnuts. I like pecans.”

So, you can see why it’s better for everyone if I really do go back to bed.

‘A Simple Favor’ Is A Great Mystery, But Not Quite Hitchcock

Paul Feig, the director of A Simple Favor, decided to go Hitchcock in his latest film. There are many touches that remind us of the great director, but the real suspense is never there. As a result, we have an elegant, classy movie that is enjoyable but not brilliant. However, it has a really good cast that covers up a few plot holes through enormous charm.

Stephanie (Anna Kendrick) is a supermom, a widow who runs a v-log (for those not up on modern parlance, this means that she has a video show running more or less daily on the internet) focusing heavily on “mommy things,” like cooking. She lives in her own world enough that she has no idea that she has become a bit of a weird creature to fellow parents through her rampant volunteerism. Then one day while picking up her son (Joshua Satine) from the first grade, she also talks to his best friend there (Ian Ho) and meets the

‘I’ On CULTURE

By Leonard Wechsler boy’s mother, Emily (Blake Lively), who is just about everything Stephanie is not.

She is loud, profane, glamorous and very funny.

In a short time, Stephanie has a new best buddy. She can admire Emily’s gorgeous husband Sean (Henry Golding), a one-time novelist now teaching at a local community college. She has house envy for the spectacular home her friend lives in and all her fabulous clothes. We have classic opposites, and Emily quickly

gets Stephanie drunk and talking about secrets. We learn that Emily and Sean are basically broke despite their lifestyle, and Stephanie reveals some darker secrets.

Then one day, a few weeks after they met, Emily asks Stephanie to pick her son up from school. She will be late, and Sean is in London. That is the “simple favor” of the title. Emily does not return, and Stephanie calls Sean in from London after a couple of days. The police are a bit skeptical, but then the games begin.

Things careen out of control. Stephanie is determined to find out what really happened, which frustrates the local police detective (Bashir Salahuddin). Emily is reported dead. Sean and Stephanie get inappropriate, which causes not only gossip, but brings attention to them from the police. And then things get really strange.

What makes the movie work is the excellent cast. Kendrick’s Stephanie has

adorable quirks (although she has used them before), but she is not what might be a typical woman in the center of all of this.

She is quietly very attractive and clearly she knows it. Lively is the opposite. Feig knows how to set up the glamour look from the first time we see her getting out of a cab in the rain, and the camera flows up from high heels through a really long leg in a fancy (and obviously expensive) pant suit. We then see her umbrella closing, and a model’s face under a cute hat. She is crude and fun. Even knowing that she is the designated “bad girl” for the film, she is fun to watch. Golding is really good as the husband who seems caught up in his wife’s dominance while quickly falling in love with Stephanie.

He is appropriately studly but makes his character far more interesting than might be the case.

There are a few smaller roles that really

help. Salahuddin manages to steal the few scenes he is in. Sujenja Sri as a receptionist is hysterical as she robotically answers phones while staring at a waiting Stephanie. Linda Cardellini is strong as a really weird artist with anger issues, and the wonderful Jean Smart as Emily’s mother is as marvelous as ever. A special salute should also go to Emily and Sean’s house, an architectural and design masterpiece.

The action kept us involved all the way through. There were quite a few twists and turns as we wound up going through all of Stephanie’s travails trying to figure out what happened to the woman she thinks of as her best friend, who she realizes has so many secrets that she is not even close to the woman she believed she knew. But Feig keeps things moving. Given more time, we might well have figured out more of the secrets. But it proved to be a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours.

Committed to a STRESS -FREE VISIT for you and your pet.

PATRICIA FORSYTHE, V.M.D.

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.

Our pet care rewards membership offers you savings while earning rewards and supporting the Veterinary Care Foundation with each visit!

We feature an In-House Lab and Digital Radiography to assure fast and accurate diagnosis during your visit.

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.

NEWS Mini Walk/Run To End Alzheimer’s Sept. 26 Lox Budget

On Wednesday, Sept. 26, in observance of World Alzheimer’s Month, the Palm Beach County Community Services Department Division of Senior Services (DOSS) will host its second annual Mini Walk/Run to End Alzheimer’s from 8 to 11 a.m. at the Mid-County Senior Center, located at 3680 Lake Worth Road.

World Alzheimer’s Month is an international campaign by Alzheimer’s Disease International to raise awareness and challenge the

stigma that surrounds dementia.

More than 600 communities in the United States participate in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research.

In 2017, DOSS hosted its first Walk/Run to End Alzheimer’s event with the purpose of helping the West Palm Beach chapter reach its fundraising goal. More than 100 people participated in last year’s event.

“Statistically, Alzheimer’s is the sixth-leading cause of death nationally. We want to help change people’s perspective on the disease,” DOSS Director Faith Manfra said. “Hosting this event is a great way to help educate our senior center participants as well as the community and raise Alzheimer’s awareness.”

The event is free and open to the public. Participants can register on-site between 8 and 9 a.m. or by calling (561) 357-7100.

With 38 percent of the vote, St. Juste finished second in the primary.

“As a third generation Palm Beach County native, the community is important to me,” she said. “My upbringing and experience have led me to a desire to be a public servant.”

St. Juste also believes that she has the right experience. “My experience as a civil litigation attorney has provided me with the understanding of the complex needs of the circuit court,” she said. “I have an understanding of the law and the application of the law. I have also written

continued from page 3 I’m telling you right now, I went to Tallahassee two times to talk to people about grants for equestrian trails. The money’s up there in Tallahassee,” Jarriel said. “All we have to do is put the [request for] grants in for it.”

He pointed out that many areas designated for equestrian trails do not need fencing.

Councilwoman Phillis Maniglia said that she had put up a fence to keep her dogs in and felt the town should not be obligated to put up fencing for private landowners, so she was going to vote for the change.

Vice Mayor Todd McLendon said the only thing restricting the town from formally establishing equestrian trails is the clause requiring fencing.

an article which was previously published in the ILSA Journal of International and Comparative Law.” St. Juste noted that she has been vetted by the Judicial Nominating Commission and selected for consideration for appointment to the bench.

“In addition to being nominated by the Judicial Nominating Commission, I have practiced law as a litigator for more than 14 years, and I have handled more than 200 trials and evidentiary hearings as lead or solo counsel,” St. Juste said.

St. Juste noted other qualifications as well. “My experience as a special magistrate presiding over code enforcement hearings has prepared me to show patience with the community to allow each individual the opportunity to present their case, and to preside over matters with patience, attentiveness and respect,” she said. “These unique qualifications lend to your understanding of the circuit court and its needs.”

GROUP 18 In Group 18, Maxine Cheesman and this being in the comp plan,” McLendon said. “It doesn’t prohibit us, it just doesn’t force us to do it, so I’m strongly in favor of this.”

Councilwoman Joyce Batcheler said deleting the fencing requirement would open some areas for equestrian accessibility.

“Because we don’t have any money for fences, the trails might never get opened,” Batcheler said. “It would at least give people some accessibility.”

Mayor Dave Browning said riders can use the roads and felt the easements should be opened to them as well, although fences do not ensure safety.

“If a really nasty dog hits that fence really hard, it’ll scare the daylights out of your horses anyway,” Browning said.

“I’m not saying we don’t need fences along there, but I think this requirement for fences takes away… If there’s a berm there, we still have to put up a fence to put a horse trail there.”

DeMarois’ motion to recommend approval carried 5-0, and the council later unanimously approved the preliminary reading of the ordinance.

Tax Rate Increase Approved

continued from page 1 said the challenge is that there are so few people in Loxahatchee Groves to carry the burden of a tax increase.

“Everything we do here costs the same amount of money for us that it does for a town with a population of a million,” McLendon said. “Everything that we do here costs the same amount, no matter what town or municipality you go to. The problem is we’re drawing from a lot fewer people and a lot fewer acres than other municipalities, but it costs the same amount to run a government, because we have laws that we must follow.”

Mayor Dave Browning said he would have favored a slightly lower tax rate increase but looked

Marybel Reinoso Coleman are the remaining candidates vying to replace retiring Judge Peter Blanc.

Taking 41 percent, Cheesman was the top vote-getter in the primary.

“As a 23-year resident of Palm Beach County and an attorney in good standing for more than 13 years, I have the temperament, qualifications and experience to serve as a circuit court judge,” she said. “In my private practice, I litigate in the circuit court in the areas of real property, fair housing, bankruptcy, foreclosure, probate, employment, family, contract and construction law. I have both jury and bench trial experience and have represented both plaintiffs and defendants.”

Cheesman’s career before the law gives her a unique qualification, she said.

“I also have 27 years of experience as a scientist, chemist, hydrogeologist and former division director with the South Florida Water Management District, where I was responsible for up to 75 employees and managed multi-million-dollar budgets,” Cheesman said. “My legal, scientific and environmental background makes me uniquely qualified to preside over a variety of cases involving complex scientific and environmental issues, like the Ag Reserve, the algae crisis and water quality — cases which come before the circuit court.”

Cheesman also noted her long history of community service. “In 2012, I was awarded the ‘And Justice for All’ pro-bono award by the Palm Beach County Legal Aid Society. I ask for your vote to continue my public service to the citizens of Palm Beach County as your circuit court judge,” Cheesman said.

Coleman, who garnered 32 percent of the vote in the primary election, said she is running for circuit court judge because she has a passion for the laws and freedoms provided under the U.S. Constitution.

“My family and I immigrated from Cuba in 1971 so that we would have a life of opportunity,” she said. “I believe our judiciary is crucial in preserving our most fundamental rights, and I have geared my career toward this ultimate public service.”

Coleman has been an attorney for 25 years.

“Having started my career as an assis-

at the county-approved rate of 4.7815 mills.

“The 3.0 mills allow us to recoup money from the businesses that are out there, and for those of us who aren’t following the issue with the [Palm Beach County] League of Cities, in November, there’s Amendment 1 that’s going to hit the fan. I know a lot of people are going to vote for it. It’s going to increase the homestead exemption… With that, I think the 3.0 is where we need to go.”

During public comment, former Loxahatchee Groves Water Control District Supervisor Connie Bell, who sits on the town’s Finance Advisory & Audit Committee, said she also took a copy of the budget to an accountant for review, who had the same reaction as Batcheler’s accountant.

“If you have an emergency, we still are not going to have enough money, so I don’t care who’s managing our town, it’s going to take us years to put reserves back,” Bell

tant state attorney in Palm Beach County, I have tried approximately 200 jury and non-jury trials,” she said. “I know what is important to the attorneys, the litigants and the judges so that justice is provided expeditiously, efficiently and respectfully by a fair and unbiased judge.”

Coleman feels that her experience is well-suited for the bench.

“Voters should choose me over my opponent because I have 25 years of courtroom experience in all five of the circuit court divisions,” she said. “Additionally, I have been vetted and nominated twice within the last 10 months by the Judicial Nominating Commission for a circuit court gubernatorial appointment, and once for a county court appointment, which means that my peers and judges whom I have appeared before believe that I am qualified to serve as a circuit court judge.”

GROUP 25 In Group 25, the remaining candidates in the race to replace retiring Judge Catherine Brunson are Sarah Willis and Michael McAuliffe.

Willis garnered 40 percent of the vote to come in first during the primary.

“As a seasoned attorney and litigator, I have the qualifications and experience to serve as your circuit court judge,” Willis said. “I have spent my career in the courtroom, where I have litigated 89 jury trials and presided over hundreds of bench trials and final hearings. I have been committed to following the law, applying it fairly, and ensuring that everyone is treated with dignity and respect.”

As an assistant state attorney in the Special Victims Unit, Willis handled complex, high-profile criminal cases involving capital sexual battery, rape, homicide, child pornography, child molestation and aggravated child abuse.

“As an assistant statewide prosecutor for the Florida Attorney General, I also handled complex multi-jurisdictional criminal cases involving organized crime, murder, money laundering and child pornography,” Willis noted. “Recently, as a general magistrate and child support hearing officer for the 15th Judicial Circuit, I presided over hundreds of circuit court cases involving post-judgment family issues, including child support, establishment of paternity,

said, adding that August’s failed referendum to allow residents to share the cost of improving their roads will put the entire burden on the town.

“We now are going to have to maintain them all until we figure out where we’re going to go next,” Bell said. “I would have proposed a higher millage rate, because we don’t know if we will ever get our FEMA money back. It’s going to take a while to put the reserves where it really should be to run this town.”

DeMarois’ motion for the 3.0 millage rate carried unanimously, 5-0, which was required by state law to approve a tax rate hike that far above the current rate of 2.15 mills.

The preliminary vote on the measure at the previous meeting was 3-2 with Browning and McLendon dissenting.

Once the vote was taken, a number of people weary of deteriorated roads cheered and clapped.

alimony and mental health issues.”

Willis said that her background qualifies her for the job.

“I have demonstrated my dedication and passion for public service throughout my career,” she said. “Having served as an advocate for the community and a fair and impartial finder of fact, I am uniquely qualified to serve as a circuit court judge.”

McAuliffe took 34 percent of the vote to finish second in the primary.

“I have worked for 29 years as a trial lawyer, including as a federal prosecutor successfully prosecuting the leader of the Louisiana Ku Klux Klan and 13 other klansmen,” he said.

He described his varied experience and background.

“I have served as the elected state attorney in Palm Beach County, leading 125 lawyers in court, as a prosecutor, a law firm partner and as a company general counsel,” McAuliffe said. “I have taught law at Duke University (winter session) and the George Washington University Law School, and most recently at the Honors College at FAU. These diverse experiences provide a unique background that prepares me to serve as a judge.”

McAuliffe added that he is grateful to have a broad base of support, including endorsements from a number of local organizations, such as the National Organization for Women Florida PAC, the Palm Beach County Human Rights Council Voters Alliance, the Palm Beach County Police Benevolent Association, the Fraternal Order of Police (Florida Lodge) and the Palm Beach Medical Society’s MEDPAC. “I also want to be a strong example to my three children as someone who serves others,” he said. “I seek a judgeship to help preserve the rule of law and to protect the rights of the weak and the powerful to be heard on equal terms.”

Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher continues to remind all citizens to get out and vote. “The right to vote is one of the most fundamental liberties we enjoy as Americans, and it is also one of our greatest civic responsibilities,” she said, urging all registered voters to cast their ballots this fall.

New Senior Fitness Classes Starting In RPB

New Feel Better fitness classes will begin on Oct. 25 at the Royal Palm Beach Recreation Center.

The Feel Better Steps to Progress program offers classes focused on core, balance and posture exercises for seniors and people with joint and other health conditions.

Melissa Cianfrini, a NASM master personal trainer, senior and group fitness specialist, created the program in 2016 because standard group exercise can be unsafe for these people.

Cianfrini loves seeing the positive results in her clients’ bodies and their quality of life.

“I have RA, lupus and fibromyalgia. Regular exercise classes make all my joints hurt, but with

Melissa’s expertise, the Feel Better classes have helped me tremendously,” said Nancy Wall, 67, a two-year class participant.

The small group setting, health history forms, evaluations, checkins and weekly exercise homework creates a personalized atmosphere.

The workouts are fun, original and educational. There are a variety of formats, including Core & More, Peace & Release Stretch, Aqua Core and Core Circuit. All improve total body core strength, increase mobility, ease joint and back pain and prevent injury.

The program is at five locations in Palm Beach County: Baywinds, Village Walk Wellington, the Greenacres Community Center,

WRMC First In Florida To Use SuperDimension With Fluoroscopic Navigation

Wellington Regional Medical Center recently became the first hospital in Florida to utilize the Medtronic superDimension system with Fluoroscopic Navigation technology. The upgraded technology enables a physician to better visualize the targeted area and find lung tumors sooner.

“The superDimension navigation system allows me to use a minimally invasive approach to access difficult-to-reach areas of the lung, which can aid in the diagnosis of lung disease,” said Dr. Mark Meyer, a thoracic surgeon at WRMC. “Fluoroscopic navigation is a significant advancement in the SuperD system that enhances the visualization of the targeted area,

thereby maximizing accuracy and tissue diagnosis.”

Using a patient’s CT scan, the latest superDimension planning software generates a 3D virtual bronchial tree and lets physicians map pathways aligned with the patient’s anatomy to reach pulmonary targets that are used during an Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy (ENB) procedure. This virtual roadmap allows physicians to navigate and steer a catheter to the target quickly and accurately.

WRMC is a 233-bed acute care hospital celebrating more than 30 years of treating residents in Wellington and the surrounding area. Learn more at www.wellingtonregional.com.

Pets Are Family, Too!

By Randall S. Dugal, D.V.M.

WHY DOES MY CAT CRAWL ALL OVER ME? Ever wonder how the cat feels about the family? Pay attention to whom it’s walking all over. Not that the cat is taking advantage of anyone, but a true sign of affection is when the cat trusts and loves a human enough to walk across a lap, curl up for a nap, or lean over and bonk heads. Kittens learn early on that mom is a great structure for climbing, cuddling, and survival. Instilling that level of trust in a feline is a high compliment.

Other signs that kitty love is in the air include the cat becoming a fourlegged shadow and bestowing a gift in the form of a mouse, frog, or other small creature.

Cats and kittens add immeasurably to our lives in so many ways, and it’s up to us as pet owners to attend to all their needs. This includes educating ourselves as to what they need to live healthy, happy lives— lots of playtime and TLC; a warm, safe environment; nutritious food; a clean cat box; and routine preventive care. Preventive care is the cornerstone of our practice at 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. We’re OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. P.S. A slow eye blink is one secret way that cats communicate affection.

Broncos Retain Wellington Cup With 52-10 Win Over Wolverines

By Gene Nardi Town-Crier Staff Report Palm Beach Central High School had to come from behind in the second quarter to overcome a 10-7 deficit before rolling to a 5210 victory over visiting Wellington High School on Friday, Sept. 14.

The Broncos retained the coveted Wellington Cup another year in one of the area’s biggest games of the season.

The Broncos improved to 3-1 and are 1-0 in district play. Palm Beach Central has not trailed in a game since their season-opener against Atlantic High School, where they lost 14-0.

The Broncos eventually turned seven of the nine Wolverine turn-

overs into scores on the night.

“There’s three phases to every game: offense, defense and special teams,” Bronco head coach Tino Ierulli said. “The boys really came out to play tonight. I’m very, very proud of their performance in all three phases.”

The Broncos went up early 7-0 after Jesus Santiago intercepted Wolverine quarterback Austin Wallace and returned the ball to the Wellington 32-yard line. Wellington responded quickly with a field goal to trail 7-3 after driving to the Palm Beach Central 1-yard line. Mark Antony Richards gave the Wolverines (2-2) the lead when he ran to the outside for a 65-yard touchdown run, breaking tackles

and hurdling defenders.

The 10-7 Wellington lead did not linger. Gen’Taris Oliver caught a 35-yard touchdown pass from R.J. Douriet, which helped the Broncos reclaim the lead. “We learned a lot of things from our first loss against Atlantic,” Ierulli said.

“That first game really taught us a lot against one of the best teams in the state. Their maturity is get-

ting better every week, and they showed how to battle back from adversity.”

Wellington’s defense was tasked with occupying the field most of the night, as the Wolverine offense often went three and out or turned over possession via punt or miscue. Palm Beach Central converted two more Wellington turnovers into 10 more points

before the end of the first half to take a 24-10 advantage into the locker room.

The Broncos would cruise the rest of the way, turning seven of the nine Wellington turnovers into points to put the game out of reach

for the Wolverines. Palm Beach Central put up another 28 points in the second half to notch the 52-10 win and hold the Wellington Cup another year.

Sem Ridge Edges Gardens 21-14 In Overtime To Stay Unbeaten

By Gene Nardi Town-Crier Staff Report The Seminole Ridge High School football team hosted district rival Palm Beach Gardens High School on Friday, Sept. 14 in a battle of the unbeaten, but it was the Hawks that remained undefeated after finishing off the Gators in overtime 21-14.

The Hawks (3-0) relied on the talent of sophomore receiver Brandon Schabert. Quarterback Kaimyn Castilla linked up with Schabert for all three of the Hawks’ touchdowns.

The first came late in the first half after both teams struggled offensively. Castilla found an airborne Schabert on a 13-yard score that finished off a 70-yard drive. The Seminole Ridge defense forced two Gator turnovers in the first half, but had difficulty

moving the ball offensively against an equally determined Palm Beach Gardens defense.

Palm Beach Gardens tied the game late when Castilla threw a pass that was tipped and picked off by a Gator cornerback, which set up the equalizing score for Palm Beach Gardens. Running back Antonio Outler ran the ball in for the Gator touchdown to send the game into overtime.

Credit the Hawks’ defense for making pivotal stops inside the Seminole Ridge zone for fending off the Gator offensive unit in the first half. The Hawks even forced a Gator field goal attempt inside the 30-yard line in the first half that sailed wide of the upright.

In the second half, Castilla hooked up with Schabert on an 85-yard touchdown pass, giving the Hawks’ momentum. The

Receiver Trey Green tries to get a few extra yards after the catch.

PHOTOS BY GENE NARDI/TOWN-CRIER

momentum was fueled by Castilla completing 12 straight passes.

Schabert reeled in 142 yards on 10 receptions and is credited with all three scores.

The game-winning play in overtime for the Hawks came when Castilla hit Schabert on a 10-yard touchdown pass to lift Seminole Ridge up 21-14. Outler, the Gator running back, had a chance to tie the game, but he fumbled the ball away just before reaching the end zone after a 10-yard run toward the goal. The Hawks sealed the overtime victory 21-14.

In the end, Castilla completed 15 of 19 passes for 165 yards and three touchdowns. Seminole Ridge remained unbeaten at 3-0 atop the District 9-8A standings.

The Hawks travel to Boynton Beach High School on Friday, Sept. 21 to take on the Tigers at 6 p.m.

Local Dressage Trainer Heidi Degele Prepares Horses To Win USDF gold, silver and bronze medalist Heidi Degele has proven once again that she knows how to bring the best out of every horse she trains.

Riding Tom and Michelle Fritchek’s 11-year-old Oldenburg stallion Highlife’s Don Silvio, they won the FEI Prix St. Georges both days and high score for the show with a 74.559 percent at the Fox Lea Farm Fall Dressage Concours I & II in August in Venice, Fla. The 16.1-hand bay stallion, who has only recently been graduated from Fourth Level to PSG, proved for his rider and owners that it’s the right step up for this rising star, as judges noted the “super quality” and “well presented” performances by the dynamic duo.

“He’s just started his first Prix St. Georges tour and earned High Point Horse of the show,” Degele beamed.

Highlife’s Don Silvio was purchased as a six-month-old colt by the Fritcheks and it has been the realization of their lifelong dream to see their stallion bloom into a winning FEI competitor, Degele said.

“He’s amazing. You can’t not stop and stare at him when he’s in the ring. He has so much presence,” said Degele, who has been working with the talented stallion since October 2017 and began competing him over the summer.

continued from page 21 and Michael Moreland combined for 342 yards through the air and three touchdowns. Receiver Bryan Robinson had five receptions for 181 yards and two scores. In addition to Oliver’s receiving score, he had a 28-yard punt return for a touchdown. DeAngelo Pompey and Kai’Shawn Curry each had a score. Brandon Hudgins and Griffin Lampton combined for seven sacks on defense for the Broncos.

Palm Beach Central will travel to Palm Bay on Friday, Sept. 21, while Wellington will be on the road at John I. Leonard.

“The long-term goal with him has already been met — he has achieved the credentials to become an approved stallion. Now we’ll see if his career continues to take off as well as it has.”

Degele herself hopes to one day represent and ride for the United States, and Highlife’s Don Silvio could be just the ticket into the international spotlight.

“He’s one of the most supple horses I’ve ever ridden. He’s got

such a soft trot and canter. He gives you a safe feeling when you ride him,” she said.

Back home, the stallion is known for being “as gentle as a puppy” and is easygoing enough to be ridden by amateurs. In Degele’s able hands, this winter’s dressage season could find them both living the competitive high life.

Heidi Degele is based in Loxahatchee and is accepting a limited number of new clients and horses

for training and consignment.

Having trained under Hubertus Schmidt, Degele has competed internationally and has brought dressage prospects up the ranks from Training to FEI levels. She has established a respected, decade-long reputation for building horses up using the classical and systemic methods she learned and mastered while in Germany.
