Our mission statement reads as follows: “The Wellington Chamber of Commerce is organized to advance the general welfare and prosperity of the Village of Wellington so that its residents and all areas of its business community shall prosper. All necessary means of promotion shall be provided, and particular attention and emphasis “shall be given to the economic, civic, commercial, cultural, industrial, security and educational interests of the Village.”

Our Chamber is active in business and community endeavors, and our committees work tirelessly to uphold our mission as well as work closely with our members to provide relevant and up-to-the-minute training and information contributing to their success in our Village.

The Wellington Chamber of Commerce is here to showcase what makes Wellington unique from surrounding communities. Our Chamber works tirelessly to bring a competitive advantage to Wellington merchants. We are an extremely active Chamber offering monthly luncheons featuring keynote speakers focused on issues most pertinent to Wellington, our business community and state and national issues affecting us all. Our after-hours events are unique and well attended. From speed networking to multi-generational think tanks to pet adoption events and working with our local children, the Chamber is always looking for new ways to keep our members engaged and interested.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

The Wellington Chamber of Commerce has taken a leadership role in bringing the diversity of our Village to current residents and businesses as well as the thousands of calls we get each year from potential additions to our community, whether they be commercial or residential.

We have everything to offer right here in Wellington, from beautiful single-family homes and townhomes to majestic estates and equestrian farms. In addition, airplane enthusiasts can land their small planes on a private runway near their homes in our Aero Club community!

I

MESSAGE

I am truly honored and humbled to be the president of the Wellington Chamber of Commerce for 2019/2020. It is a privilege to serve our business community along with our fantastic board of directors and President’s Circle members.

In 2004 my wife and I made the decision to relocate our young family to Florida. I started out by asking everyone I knew who had ever spent time in Florida about the best places to live. The majority of the responses named Wellington as an upand-coming destination. The next step was to contact the Wellington Chamber of Commerce. The executive director then—who is the executive director today—sent me information on local businesses, schools, government and more. She provided everything a new (and old) resident would need to know, which you will find in this award-winning guide.

We spent our first trip to Wellington looking at homes as well as schools. We even got to extend our trip due to Hurricane Frances! As we were leaving, I felt that we had found our new home.

Over the years, I have watched Wellington grow economically. I have seen the public library expand to one that all of us, young and old, can be proud of. Our schools were Arated when I moved here, and remain that way today. I have seen residents come together as a community at the Wellington Amphitheater for music, food trucks and entertainment. I have seen Wellington increase its medical presence in South Florida, with many of the top doctors, specialists and surgeons serving our residents and visitors.

However, when you say “Wellington,” the first thing that comes to mind is its equestrian community. We are home to world-class events such as show jumping, dressage and polo.

The definition of a Chamber of Commerce is a local association formed to promote and protect the interests of the business community in a particular place. Members of a chamber represent local businesses from many different industries.

When you see a business is a member of a local chamber, there is a feeling of trust, and consumers are more likely to turn into customers of these businesses. When you look at the directory at the back of this guide, you will see the finest businesspeople not only in Wellington but in the state of Florida.

But the Wellington Chamber is more than just businesses

from the

PRESIDENT

in a book. We host some of the biggest and clearly the best events that Wellington has to offer. Our food and wine event, Flavors, has everything—food, wine, music and dancing. Our annual 5K run has become a staple in the community, and of course we all know how we start our holidays in December, with Winterfest, featuring pop icon Vanilla Ice. I think as we get older we see the holidays a little differently, perhaps through our children’s eyes. Or maybe we lose that childlike innocence. I promise you: Come to Winterfest, and you will feel like that child all over again.

The best part of our Chamber is the members. These are individuals, among the best in their professions, who donate their time to serve on one of our many committees, become a sponsor or volunteer at one of our events. Every time I speak with a Chamber member, I learn something, whether it’s professionally or personally. I am proud to call many of these people my friends, and I know they will remain a part of my life long after I stop doing what I do.

I also want to acknowledge our executive director. Make no mistake about it: Michela Green is the true face of this Chamber. I continue to be amazed at how she helps members through various issues while singlehandedly staging big events. I have learned so much from her, as well as our Board of Directors.

Wellington is no longer up and coming. We have arrived.

This will present new challenges over the next decade for our businesses and residents. However, I know that with all of us working as a team, we will continue to make Wellington a place that we are all proud to be a part of.

My door is always open for any suggestions or problems you may have. I can’t promise every suggestion I hear will be implemented, but I do promise to listen and discuss it with the appropriate people. I hope you enjoy the 2020 Guide to Wellington. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Stuart A. Hack, EA MS President 2019-2020

ABOUT OUR

T

CHAMBER

The Wellington Chamber of Commerce was founded in 1996, one year after the Village of Wellington itself. It was founded by a group of local business professionals.

Our current president is Stuart Hack.

The Wellington Chamber was formed to focus on what makes Wellington unique from surrounding communities by emphasizing the differences, to bring a competitive advantage to Wellington merchants, and to protect those differences for all residents. In fact, it was a return to the idea that chambers of commerce best serve their communities when they are local and when they do not try to be all things to all people. It was also felt that local chambers must look to the betterment of their communities in all facets of community life and not just the business aspect of the communities.

The following mission statement embodies these two thoughts:

“The Wellington Chamber of Commerce is organized to advance the general welfare and prosperity of the Village of Wellington so that its residents and all areas of its business community shall prosper. All necessary means of promotion shall be provided, and particular attention and emphasis shall be given to the economic, civic, commercial, cultural, industrial, security and educational interests of the village.�

Our Board of Directors is comprised of top businessmen and women who wholeheartedly give their time and resources to make the Chamber a more vibrant, successful and positively recognized community-based agency.

The many annual programs of the Chamber reflect a rich tradition of achievement of the goals within the mission statement. For many, the year actually starts

ABOUT OUR CHAMBER

in December with our biggest event of the year, Winterfest with Vanilla Ice! More than 10,000 Wellington residents and visitors alike have attended to see local celebrity musical sensation, philanthropist and Emmy-nominated DIY Network television star Vanilla Ice perform. Several local dignitaries and celebrities kick off the time-honored event featuring the beautiful sounds of local performing artists as well as Wellington Chamber vendors and exhibitors.

Winterfest gives way to the coming of the New Year and the height of the “season.” Newcomers will notice the increase of out-of-state license plates and the excitement of the equestrian, dressage and polo seasons. Thousands of people strong, the equestrian professionals are back, and the Wellington Chamber welcomes them in the name of our local merchants.

February hosts our 5K Run. More than 400 runners came out in 2019 for this event presented by Baptist Health South Florida. The 2020 run promises to double the number of runners, as well as herald the announcement of an exciting new venue and theme.

In March each year, in conjunction with our Board Installation and Presidential appointment, the Wellington Chamber recognizes and awards leaders in the community. The Chamber has honored local leaders and trailblazers such as Rob Van Winkle, aka Vanilla Ice, as well as our very own “Outstanding Citizen of the Year,” local newswoman and community leader Roxanne Stein. The Outstanding Citizen of the Year award is carefully chosen and awarded to a Wellington resident who displays outstanding service to the community and its residents by making Wellington a fantastic place to work, live and play!

Equestrian Sport Productions LLC, Baptist Health South Florida and FPL presented our 16th Annual FLAVORS event in April. This event attracts 1,500-plus attendees! FLAVORS of Wellington brings together the best of the best Wellington Chamber restaurants, catering venues and wholesale and gourmet markets as well as country clubs and wineries, who

showcase their businesses, products, menus and exceptional service professionals. Each year our attendees enjoy an evening of dining and live music.

Our committees have been on the cutting edge of new and innovative ideas in generating economic growth and change in our community. We have fought for changes in the hours businesses can operate in Wellington, helped to bring about change to the local sign ordinances, supported the concept of the Medical Arts District and have voiced opposition to those things that would hinder the continued use of the Global Dressage Arena. We have sponsored health and wellness expos, and continue the search to find the highest and best land use for Wellington development projects. We have sponsored numerous candidate forums and debates in order to keep our members better informed on the issues which affect their businesses.

The Women of Wellington (WOW) was designed specifically for our local businesswomen to provide opportunities for women-to-women networking. This committee of exceptional ladies has recently kicked off the “30 Women 30 Nights” philanthropic endeavor, which selects a different local nonprofit each month and works with it on special events and projects as well as to bring exposure to the organization.

The Wellington Chamber also offers many opportunities for local merchants and professionals to network and showcase their businesses. These are not just ribbon-cuttings but true community networking events where one can come and meet our Board of Directors, Ambassadors, your neighbor or maybe your next customer. They are innovative, exciting and effective!

Our monthly luncheons have gained notoriety in the community as innovative, interactive NOT TO MISS events. Each month promises a new and “in the news” high-profile speaker addressing topics of paramount interest to our members and to the community.

Our President’s Circle Membership is comprised of top prominent local business leaders, community leaders and entrepreneurs. This trustee level of the Chamber grows every year and is a perfect opportunity to maintain a highly visible profile in the community.

We are proud to offer our AWARD-WINNING Official Guide to Wellington, which the Chamber publishes annually.

People call the Wellington Chamber first because they recognize it by the name! They want the “local” chamber, and they get it with us! Come on by. You’ll be glad you did.

“WE ARE WELLINGTON.”

She completed her undergraduate degree in Nursing at the University of Florida in Gainesville; before returning to South Florida and obtaining her advanced nursing degree at Florida Atlantic University, she spent years working at UF Health Shands Hospital in the cardiac unit and later as a pediatric hematology-oncology nurse.

When the opportunity for a leadership position in a primary care setting presented itself, Poveda realized her pas-

sion for building meaningful patient relationships would be found in family medicine.

Additionally she became the director, transforming the clinic to become a true medical home for the underserved, and a training center that embodies community health care.

Wellington offers attractive opportunities for virtually all types of businesses, says Michela Green, Executive Director, Wellington Chamber of Commerce. “Our Chamber focuses on bringing a competitive advantage to Wellington merchants, and to protect those differences for all residents. In fact, it was a return to the idea that chambers of commerce best serve their communities when they are local and when they do not try to be all things to all people. It was also felt that local chambers must look to the betterment of their communities in all facets of community life and not just the business aspect of the communities.

“We at the Chamber are proud to support our members and strengthen our very special unique, diverse and innovative community,” Green adds.

Small businesses are finding their way to the Wellington community and discovering that with all the numerous amenities and services available in the area, it is a perfect mix for their new businesses to thrive.

With approximately 400-plus members, the Wellington Chamber offers a year-round program of special events, business growth learning workshops and networking opportunities.

Many Wellington companies are leaders in the county’s dynamic aviation, equestrian, life sciences, medical and financial service industries. Other businesses cater to the needs of Wellington’s 55,000-plus residents, including retailers, restaurants and equestrian-based companies. Thanks to Wellington’s central location in the heart of Palm Beach County, area businesses enjoy easy access to South Florida’s major roaways, international airports and seaports.

ESTABLISHING RESIDENCY Under Florida law, you automatically establish residency when being employed, enrolling children in school or registering to vote. You may document your residency by obtaining and filing a Declaration of Domicile with the Office of the Clerk & Comptroller, (561) 355-2996. For more information, visit www.pbcountyclerk.com.

VOTER REGISTRATION Supervisor of Elections You must be a U.S. Citizen, Florida resident and 18 years old to register to vote in the State of Florida (you may pre-register if you are at least 16 years old).

Voter registration applications are available at the Supervisor of Elections offices located at: 240 S. Military Trail | West Palm Beach (561) 656-6200 345 S. Congress Ave. #103 | Delray Beach (561) 276-1226 3188 PGA Blvd. #2401 | Palm Beach Gardens (561) 624-6555 2976 State Road #15, Second Floor, Belle Glade (561) 992-1114 You can also obtain applications at libraries, post offices and the Department of Motor Vehicles.

38

WELLINGTONCHAMBER.COM

driver’s license or identification card, you must provide the last four digits of your social security number. The voter registration books close 29 days prior to each election.

MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION The Palm Beach County Tax Collector serves as the agent for the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) for titling and registering all motorized vehicles, boats and mobile homes (commercial and private), including motorcycles and mopeds (registrations only). The Tax Collector’s office also issues disabled person parking permits.

New residents should register their vehicle(s) and obtain a Florida license plate within 30 days of establishing legal residency, accepting employment or upon placement of a child in school. Automobiles and trucks must have at least $10,000 in personal injury protection (PIP) insurance and at least $10,000 property damage liability (PDL) insurance.

Registrations of privately owned vehicles and long-term leased vehicles are valid until midnight on the first registered owner’s birthday. You can renew up to three months before the expiration date. A delinquent fee is charged if the registration is not renewed by the 10th of the following month.

The DHSMV may send a courtesy reminder notice a month before your birthday. Non-receipt of the notice does not relieve registrants from their responsibility to renew on time or exempt them from paying the delinquent fee upon renewal.

Current Florida residents can renew their motor vehicle registration online up to three months in advance.

Nonresidents of Florida must take their proof of valid Florida insurance, along with the title, to the Palm Beach County Tax Collector office. Visit www.pbctax.com for locations, hours and more information.

PROPERTY APPRAISER’S OFFICE Florida’s Constitution mandates that all property values must be assessed at market value as of January 1 each year.

Market value is typically what a property would sell for in an open and competitive market—what a property is worth to a willing buyer and willing seller. By Florida law, only sales transactions that occurred during the previous year can be used to establish values as of January 1 of the current year. For 2020 values we look at 2019 sales to estimate values for the 2020 tax roll. For example, if you sold your residence in 2019 for $150,000, that selling price would be used together with other comparable sales in our analysis of the market.

For more information contact the Department of Revenue online at dor.myflorida.com or at the Regional Service Center located at 2468 Metrocentre Blvd., West Palm Beach, or call (561) 640-2800.

Sales Tax Florida’s general sales tax rate is 6 percent. Each retail sale, admission charge, storage, use or rental is taxable, along with some services. Some items are specifically exempt. Some counties,

including Palm Beach County, impose a discretionary sales surtax in addition to the 6 percent state tax. The county tax rates can range from .25 to 2.5 percent, and are levied on the first $5,000 of the purchase price. The $5,000 limit does not apply to commercial rentals, transient rentals or services. Consumers pay sales tax and any county-imposed taxes to the seller at the time of purchase.

WELLINGTON MAKES THE GRADE

Wellington’s reputation as a first-rate place to raise a family owes much to the exemplary public and private schools in the area. From wonderful elementary and middle schools for the younger kids to high schools and local colleges that challenge the older ones, there is no end to the top-notch educational choices available.

The School District of Palm Beach County (SDPBC) is the 10th-largest in the country and the fifth-largest school district in the state, with approximately 176,000 students enrolled (pre-K through 12th grade). SDPBC has been recognized in recent years as a high-performing, A– rated district, according to the Florida Department of Education.

The Wellington Education Committee is a seven-member committee comprised of Wellington residents appointed by the Village Council. Generally, each member’s role is to monitor activities in Wellington schools by attending School Advisory Committee (SAC) meetings and reporting back to the Education Committee.

Additionally, the Village Council has approved in the budget the Keely Spinelli Education Grant.

The purpose of the Keely Spinelli Grant is to assist Bink’s Forest Elementary, Elbridge Gale Elementary, Emerald Cove Middle, Equestrian Trail Elementary, New Horizons Elementary, Palm Beach Central High, Panther Run Elementary, Polo Park Middle, Wellington Elementary, Wellington Landings Middle and Wellington High with funding for programs, tutors, incentives, instructional materials and/or equipment for students in reading and/or math.

The total proposed budget for the grant program is $400,000. Each of the 11 public schools serving Wellington will be eligible for a maximum of $36,363 in annual funding. The Education Committee will review and approve all requests for funding prior to each school receiving grant funds. Allocated funds will be kept in a segregated account within each school. Any funds not encumbered by December 31 may be utilized by the school for allowable expenses during the current school year. Schools with unencumbered funds must identify the proposed use of those funds prior to receiving current year funding. All funding must be approved by the Village Council prior to disbursement of funds.

Eligible schools will be required to submit a proposed, prioritized budget with the application for final approval. Schools will be eligible to utilize funds for consumable curriculum materials (study guides and/or academic workbooks, etc.), incentives including transportation, to encourage students to attend after-school academic programs, tutoring, any direct educational purpose and for equipment such as computers or tablets, etc. Schools can also use the funds for personnel (tutors) to supplement a salary that is not already budgeted by the School District. Schools will be required to submit invoices for all expenditures by February 1 of each funding year.

The Education Committee also gathers input on issues that may affect children attending Wellington schools and reviews programs as requested by the Village Council. For more information on the Wellington Education Committee, please contact Ed De La Vega at 791-4055.

Wellington also offers adults the opportunity to learn through community classes available at schools throughout the county. Adult education is available locally at Wellington Community High School. Call 795-4910 for more information.

WELCOME

From the

HEALTH AND WELLNESS COMMITTEE

O

Over the last 10 years, Wellington has evolved into a medical and wellness hub for Palm Beach County and the surrounding areas. No longer do you need to travel far to seek the best medical care, fitness facilities or wellness centers; it is all right in your backyard. Because of our growing population, we are able to sustain this growth with the leaders of the medical and wellness industry to achieve optimal health from the inside out.

Our diverse population here in Wellington has drastically driven growth in our Health & Wellness Committee with a variety of professionals encompassing the new and effective trends that people are searching for today. Let’s focus on the health trends that people are looking for now and why Wellington hits everything you need, from conventional care to alternative options and physical fitness.

The medical industry has vastly changed with the times. In this world of instant gratification, gone are the days of far parking and long walks to meet your medical needs. Wellington has a variety of options such as boutique medical centers that offer same-day appointments with in-house payment options, so everyone is able to receive personalized care. Some of our larger hospitals have opened satellite locations so you can experience the same high-quality care with a shorter wait time. It is easy to find the best care in our area for every stage of

life, from prenatal to adolescent to senior services.

Outside of conventional medical care, people are turning to more holistic and natural approaches. CBD oils have broken into the market as one the more natural approaches to overall health, said to heal ailments, mental well-being, joint issues, and so much more. Salt therapy, acupuncture, stem cell treatments, cupping, essentials oils and chiropractic medicine are all becoming ways to heal the body mentally and physically. Let’s not forget: One of the cornerstones of Wellington is our amazing equestrian community, and with that comes the ability to achieve mental and physical wellness through equine therapy.

A DYNAMIC HEALTH

H

AND MEDICAL CLUSTER

Health care and medical services are abundant in Palm Beach County’s western communities, providing thousands of jobs for the region and serving patients and clients from all walks of life, from birth to advanced age. The region’s dynamic cluster of wellness organizations contributes mightily to its high quality of life.

Located at the heart of the region is Wellington, whose robust health and medical sector encompasses: n Primary and specialized medical care physicians n Major hospitals n Skilled nursing and independent living facilities n Physical, occupational and speech therapists n Wellness programs n Nutrition and weight loss services n Laboratory services n Health insurance providers n Hospice programs

Medical support organizations This potent industry cluster will be entering a new stage with the planned development of the Wellington Medical Arts District. Located at Forest Hill Boulevard and State Road 7, the district will be an integrated 210acre campus with more than 2 million square feet for hospital, education, office, medical-related and retail tenants.

The district will draw on the economic engine of the Wellington Regional Medical Center—the region’s largest employer—as well as nearby Palms West Hospital, to attract new medically related companies and providers, potentially creating 5,000 to 6,000 new jobs in the western communities.

For current health care and medical service providers—as well as prospective newcomers—the Wellington Medical Arts District will provide a solid foundation for long-term, sustainable economic development throughout the western communities. n

CHOOSING A DOCTOR

W

When you choose a primary care doctor for yourself or a loved one, make sure to choose a doctor you can trust. A primary care doctor can: n Help you stay healthy by recommending preventive services, like screening tests and shots n Treat many health problems n Refer you to a specialist when you need more help with a specific health issue

When you are choosing a doctor, look for someone who: n Treats you with respect n Listens to your opinions and concerns n Encourages you to ask questions n Explains things in ways you can understand When you and your doctor work together as a team, you’ll get better health care. Try the following tips to find a doctor who’s right for you. Ask for recommendations from people you know.

Getting a reference from someone you know and trust is a great way to find a doctor. n Ask friends, family members, neighbors, or coworkers if they have a doctor they like. n If you are looking for a new doctor because yours is retiring or moving, ask your current doctor for a recommendation.

Check with your insurance company.

If you have health insurance, you may need to choose from a list of doctors in their network (doctors that take you insurance plan). Some insurance plans may let you choose a doctor outside the network if you pay more of the cost. n Call your insurance company and ask for a list of local doctors who take your insurance plan. n Find out if your insurance company has a website you can use to search for a local doctor who sees people with your plan.

QUICK TIPS

If you don’t have health insurance, you’ll have to pay for health care “out of pocket” (on your own). This can be very expensive. For help finding insurance, visit www.healthcare.gov.

Learn more about your top choices.

Make a list of the doctors you have in mind. Call their offices to learn more about them. The answers to the following questions may help you make the best decision.

Questions about the doctor: n Is the doctor taking new patients? n Is the doctor part of a group practice? Who are the other doctors? n Who will see you if your doctor isn’t available? n Which hospital does the doctor use? n If you have a medical condition, does the doctor have experience treating it?

Questions about the office: n Do they offer evening or weekend appointments? n What is the cancellation policy? n How long will it take to get an appointment? n How long do appointments usually last? n Can you get lab work and x-rays done in the office? n If you are more comfortable speaking in a language besides English, is there a doctor or nurse who speaks that language?

Think about your experience after the first visit.

Did the doctor and office staff... n Make you feel comfortable during your appointment? n Spend enough time with you? n Give you a chance to ask questions? n Answer your questions clearly?

If you answer “no” to any of these questions, you may want to keep looking.

Y

TAKE CONTROL OF

YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS

Your medical records are yours, and you have the right to see them. If you are ready to take control of your medical records, here are some tips that can help you: n Keep your own records: Make notes of your health care visits, and what was said. You can also make notes of your prescriptions. Keep your own records, and you will know what is happening. n Get a full copy: Before you leave any appointment, ask for a copy. From blood tests to dental records, there is no reason why you cannot have a copy of your records. n Be organized: Organize your records so that you know where they are. Have a system in place that allows you to find them quickly. n Keep your records safe: Make sure your records are in a safe place. You want essential records safe from damage and from theft. n Know your rights: You own the information in the medical records — even though the health care professional owns the actual document. Realize that you have control over the information. n Have mistakes corrected: By law, you can have misleading or incorrect information corrected. If there is a mistake in your medical records, you need to have it fixed.

Be on the alert for identity fraud: If you discover that your identity has been stolen, make sure you check for unauthorized medical procedures in your name.

Make sure records are updated: Try to make sure that copies of your records are updated with new information.

Consider records for legibility: Charts can often be illegible. If something in your medical records appears sloppy or difficult to read, ask to have it clarified.

Consider setting up an online profile: There are services like Google Health that can provide you with a way to manage your health records electronically.

REMEDIES

T

Turning to your doctor for every scratch or headache can be tiring and expensive. Home remedies can be an unexpected fix to an ongoing condition.

Some household products have alternate uses that are as surprising as they are effective. Here are some locally grown fixes to some common ailments.

HICCUPS

Drinking water, holding your breath and even getting scared have been attributed as cures for hiccups. When those old tricks don’t work, try swallowing a teaspoon of dry sugar. It works by distracting the vagus nerve that innervates the diaphragm. America’s only producer of certified organic sugar, Florida Crystals, is located right here in Palm Beach County.

CHEST CONGESTION With Florida’s pollen count, allergies are a common complaint of Floridians. When feeling congested from allergies or the common cold, try adding honey and lemon to a cup of hot water or tea. The ingredients work together to soothe the throat and rid the airways of mucus. Beekeepers are abundant in Palm Beach County and offer a variety of different honeys that would be perfect for a congestion-calming tea.

ANXIETY When fighting off nerves, oranges are the secret weapon. Drinking orange juice with honey and nutmeg is known to slow heart rates. It works by improving blood vessel function with an antioxidant called hesperidin, which is known to reduce cholesterol and blood pressure. Even the aroma of oranges is said to reduce anxiety. In Florida, there is no shortage of oranges.

Head down to Palm Beach Groves (2730 S. Ocean Blvd., Palm Beach) for some aromatherapy the next time you are feeling anxious.

SUNBURNS Add sunburn soother to the long list of applications for milk. With so many uses, it’s no wonder this all-purpose beverage is referred to as the fruit of life. The next time you get sunburned, try using a cold compress of milk and water. The fat and protein in the milk act as an anti-inflammatory while the cold temperature reduces swelling by causing blood vessels to constrict.

For some all-natural goat’s milk, check out Goodness Gracious Acres (14817 97th Road N., West Palm Beach) in Loxahatchee.

SEA LICE BITES Any Florida resident or past visitor can recognize the telltale signs of a sea lice attack. The agonizingly itchy red bumps can drive even the biggest beach bums away from the ocean. Don’t let those little sea creatures keep you away. The next time you get bitten by sea lice, soak a sponge with a mixture of water and either vinegar or meat tenderizer. Then, gently apply to affected areas. These acids neutralize the venom in your skin to relieve itching. Find your favorite vinegar at Oil & Vinegar in the Gardens Mall (3101 PGA Blvd., Palm Beach Gardens).

THE DOS AND DON’TS

D

OF DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS

Dietary supplements have a reputation of being exclusively for the elderly. This myth leads people to believe they do not need to take supplements if they aren’t senior citizens, but people of all ages can benefit from dietary supplements.

Supplements can boost immune systems, act as an anti-aging aesthetic and delay or prevent conditions such as osteoporosis or heart disease. Supplements can even give you more energy by supplying your cells with the right nutrients.

Get out your pillboxes, people, because it is time to start integrating supplements into your routine. But before you get started, you need to know how to take supplements safely.

Here are some guidelines to follow when taking dietary supplements:

DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS ARE NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR A HEALTHY DIET For people who are vegan or lactose-intolerant, calcium and other supplements can provide the necessary amounts of vital nutrients. However, a variety of supplements will not replace a healthy diet. Food gives the body a combination of vitamins and minerals that work together to promote health.

Supplements cannot replicate this relationship between the nutrients found in food. Supplements are only meant to fill in the gaps in your diet. It is important to maintain a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables even when taking dietary supplements.

STICK TO THE DOSAGE People think that since supplements are good for you, the more you take the better it is for your body. That idea is incorrect. Some supplements will have no greater effect if you take

more than the recommended dose. In this case, taking more is a waste of money. Others have harmful effects. Keep in mind that “natural” or “organic” does not always mean “safe.”

Always read the label to make sure you are only taking the recommended dose.

BE AWARE OF THE PURPOSE AND POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF TAKING SUPPLEMENTS Never take supplements for no reason. Talk to your doctor about what supplements will make your diet well-rounded before taking what you may think you need. Also be aware of the vitamin or mineral’s unintended effects. Calcium is a popular supplement taken to prevent osteoporosis. According to Harvard Medical School, recent research studies have found substantial evidence that calcium supplements increase the risk of heart disease. Although nothing is proven, people with heart problems would be wise to stay away from calcium supplements. It is important to know what the supplement is and what it does in order to safely consume it.

BE CAREFUL PAIRING SUPPLEMENTS WITH MEDICATIONS Some supplements can counteract medications, which can be dangerous for people with certain conditions. Vitamin K is known to interfere with blood thinners, and calcium supplements are known to interfere with thyroid medication.

Always ask a doctor before pairing a supplement with prescription medication.

BUY LOCAL WELLINGTON

R

HERE’S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU “SHOP LOCAL.” Research shows that for every $100 you spend at locally owned businesses, $68 will stay in the community. What happens when you spend that same $100 at a national chain? Only $43 stays in the community.

Local businesses are better at creating higher-paying jobs for your neighbors. When you shop locally or use local health and wellness facilities, you help create jobs for teachers, nurses, doctors, firefighters, police officers, administrators and many other essential professions.

Buying from a locally owned business conserves energy and resources in the form of less fuel for transportation and less packaging, giving you, the consumer, a lower cost when buying.

Local business owners know you, and you know them.

Studies have shown that local businesses donate to community causes at more than twice the rate of chains.

Shopping in a local business district means less infrastructure, less maintenance and more money available to beautify your community. Also, spending locally instead of online ensures that your sales taxes are reinvested where they belong—in your community!

Locally owned businesses pick the items and products they sell based on what they know you like and want. Local businesses carry a wider array of unique products, because they buy for their own individual markets.

WELLINGTONCHAMBER.COM

You are their friends and neighbors, and locally owned businesses have a vested interest in knowing how to serve you. They’re passionate about what they do. Why not take advantage of it?

As the business owner of two medical practices, Florida Interventional Pain Management and Palm Beach Anti-Aging, I am constantly making purchases for items including office supplies, promotional pieces and medical equipment. I also have a need for professional services such as insurance brokers and lawyers. I am able to purchase all of my equipment, supplies and professional services for both practices from other businesses right here in Wellington. It is so nice when I make the calls to place my orders that they know me as well as know my needs. The patients that visit us at our practices are the same faces I see when shopping locally.

Creativity and entrepreneurship are what the American economy is founded upon. Nurturing local business ensures a strong community.

The more interesting and unique our community, the more we will attract new neighbors, visitors and guests. This benefits everyone!

The Grand Champions Fall Invitational League is geared toward improving players’ polo skills at every level. Roster lineups change from tournament to tournament featuring amateur and professional players. It’s also a great opportunity for players and sponsors to prepare for the winter season.

Managed by Equestrian Sport Productions (ESP), WEF is the largest and longest-running equestrian festival in the world, with more than 10,000 horses competing throughout the winter circuit at both venues. Mark Bellissimo, managing partner of the Wellington Equestrian Partners (WEP), also has two separate partnership groups that are responsible for the operation of Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC) in Mill Spring, North Carolina and the Colorado Horse Park (CHP) in Parker, Colorado. TIEC hosts international events throughout the year, while CHP operates the annual Summer in the Rockies circuit for six weeks during the summer months. TIEC recently hosted the FEI World Equestrian Games™ Tryon 2018, from September 11-23, which showcased the eight equestrian disciplines sanctioned by the Fèdèration Equestre Internationale (FEI).

The Palm Beach International Equestrian Center has long been recognized as one of the finest equestrian venues in the world. Each winter, riders from 33 countries and all 50 U.S.

states travel to Wellington to compete at PBIEC. The venue covers 500 acres, with 80 acres of competition rings alone.

As horses and riders gear up for the 2020 show season, this year’s WEF promises fantastic opportunities for competitors of every level, as well as some of the best international competition in the world. WEF once again features four CSI 5* rated weeks, which is the highest level of international show jumping. Riders compete during the week to qualify for the major Saturday night grand prix classes. The five-star grand prix competitions will be featured on Feb. 8, Feb. 22, March 7 and March 28. The $500,000 Rolex Grand Prix CSI 5*, the largest class offered for jumpers throughout the entire circuit, will once again be held on the final week of the circuit, and will captivate audiences on Saturday, March 28.

The $150,000 Nations Cup returns during week eight’s CSIO 4* competition, where teams represent their countries over two rounds of competition to see which nation is best.

Always a fan favorite, and a fantastic night of sport and fun at PBIEC, the exciting event attracts horses and riders from around the globe to compete on Wellington’s international stage on the Saturday evening of February 29.

Each weekend, the “Saturday Night Lights” series features fun activities for spectators to enjoy, in addition to the fantastic grand prix show jumping competition. Wellington residents are invited to enjoy the popular family activities, which include rides on the Venetian carousel, bounce houses, face painting, magicians and a petting zoo. Families can choose from a variety of food and shopping vendors, while spectators of age also can enjoy adult beverages at The Tiki Hut. WELLINGTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Following the conclusion of Saturday night competition, nightlife continues at The Gallery Night Club at PBIEC. The Gallery is a stylish, modern lounge that is open to the public every Saturday night with table seating and VIP bottle service available, along with great DJs and dancing.

On Friday nights, a different kind of grand prix action takes place across the street at The Stadium at PBIEC, where the Adequan® Global Dressage Festival (AGDF) hosts its own winter circuit. The AGDF returns for its tenth season at PBIEC, also running Jan. 8 to March 29, 2020. This year, AGDF will once again host seven CDI, or internationally rated, events in the season, along with one national show and two CPEDI 3* Para-Equestrian competitions.

Each week of international competition at AGDF features its “Friday Night Stars” FEI Grand Prix Musical Freestyles, which bring the crème de la crème of dressage out to shine under the bright lights in Wellington. The evening is a highlight for riders and spectators alike, as international competitors showcase their best freestyles set to music in a fun evening of sport and entertainment. Special musical acts, such as a string quartet or the Yale a cappella singing group, are featured in between amazing dressage performances.

Many of the best dressage horses and riders in the world will compete in AGDF’s CDI 5* week on Feb. 6-9, which features the highest possible international rating in dressage. The finale of the season, Wellington’s CDIO 3*, remains the only Nations Cup competition for dressage in North or South America, outside of championship events, and is part of the FEI Nations Cup series. Each year, more international riders make the journey to compete in the coveted event, which will run this season from March 11-15, 2020.

Another event that draws spectators from throughout Palm Beach County to PBIEC is the Great Charity Challenge (GCC), presented by Fidelity Investments®, a unique benefit combining the joys of horses and charitable giving. Since its inception in 2010, the exciting pro-am show jumping event has raised over $13.5 million for more than 250 Palm Beach County charities, becoming the largest single-day net charitable event in the state of Florida. This year’s event will be featured on Saturday, Feb. 1 and the theme is “Broadway,” cel-

ebrating the beautiful arts and timeless musicals.

The International Polo Club Palm Beach (IPC) is set to once again be an international hub for high-goal and elite field polo during the winter season. Major matches will be played at 3 p.m. beginning Sunday, Dec. 29, and continuing through Sunday, April 19, with the U.S. Open Polo Championship Final. An array of seating and hospitality packages are available for spectators and members alike, including lavish brunch tables in the Pavilion, field-side seats in the stadium, and casual tailgates along the sidelines.

A new tournament series, the GAUNTLET OF POLO™, was introduced in 2019 which will return this season. Last year, the GAUNTLET saw an unprecedented number of teams participating, and pitted some of the world’s best players against each other in hopes of winning the million-dollar prize money. In addition to the Sunday matches on the U.S. Polo Assn. Championship Field, games are held weekly from Tuesday through Saturday on the other seven fields located amidst the IPC grounds, and welcome spectators to come watch. Members of the club can also enjoy a beautiful pool, state-of-the-art spa and fitness center, tennis courts, two finedining restaurants, and a robust social calendar.

Along with exciting competition and other special events, the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center main grounds feature fun activities throughout the week. Competition runs Wednesday through Sunday and remains free for spectators.

Visitors can watch horses and riders compete at various levels in 12 different rings, enjoy eclectic restaurants across the show grounds, and shop on Vendor Row and other vendor locations throughout the venue.

The vendor boutiques offer fashion for men, women and children, jewelry, home design, fine art, photography, horse tack and apparel and more. The show grounds also feature their own WEF Boutique located on the South Bridge deck overlooking the International Arena and in the Vendor Village.

Find the perfect WEF clothing, posters or souvenirs.

A lasting partnership has evolved with all 13 Wellington public schools over the past four years. Each school is invited to join in on the festivities each week; local children and their families are able to see equestrian sports firsthand through school field trips, and are our proud national anthem presenters during all major events.

Q&A

WITH

MARK BELLISSIMO

CEO of Equestrian Sport Productions, Managing Partner of Wellington Equestrian Partners What are you looking forward to most during this year’s Winter Equestrian Festival?

We have another exciting season of show jumping planned at the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF). Each year we see tremendous support from the equestrian community, and participation continues to rise in all levels of competition.

We always look forward to the Saturday night Grand Prixs each season. As the highest-rated show jumping competition of the week, this under-the-lights class attracts some of the world’s most talented two- and four-legged athletes from more than 33 different countries.

What are some of the highlight events this season?

The major five-star Grand Prix competitions are always a highlight of the season. This year, they’ll take place on Feb. 8, Feb. 22, March 7 and March 28. The $500,000 Rolex Grand Prix CSI 5*, the largest class offered for jumpers throughout the entire circuit, will once again be held on the final week of the circuit and captivate audiences on Saturday, March 28.

Another fan-favorite is the $150,000 FEI Nations Cup, returning during week eight’s CSIO 4* competition this year on February 29. This is one of our team’s favorite events, where riders in teams of three or four combinations represent their countries over two rounds of exciting top-level sport.

This event traditionally brings out an incredible crowd, and the atmosphere is electric.

We also host major hunt-seat events during the season, bringing the very best horse and rider combinations from around the nation, who vie for some of the most significant prize money offered in their respective disciplines. The

$100,000 USHJA/WCHR Peter Wetherill Hunter Spectacular will be hosted this year on Saturday evening, February 15, and the $50,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby will be featured on Sunday afternoon, March 29. We have such a great diversity of competition throughout the season, with something special to offer equestrian fans of all kinds.

What can you tell us about the Adequan® Global Dressage Festival?

AGDF is another fantastic addition to the winter competition in Wellington. The circuit has quickly grown to be integral to the prevalence of dressage around the world.

The winter series runs parallel to WEF, January 8 to March 29, 2020. The competition schedule will once again include seven CDI, or internationally rated events in the season, along with several national shows and two CPEDI 3* Para-Equestrian competitions. We’ve been exceptionally proud of how AGDF has grown into a central hub for both international and national dressage competitors each year.

The highlight of the AGDF season is always the FEI Grand Prix Musical Freestyles, known as “Friday Night Stars.” The CDI 5* week was a huge success last year, and the CDIO 3* brings more riders every year, as it remains the only Nations Cup competition for dressage in North or South America, outside of championship events. We look forward to hosting even more international riders this year as the AGDF maintains its incredible development for the sport of dressage.

How is the polo season going over at the International Polo Club Palm Beach (IPC)?

IPC, considered the premier winter polo destination in the

19_WEL 20_Equine.qxp_Layout 1 12/2/19 10:32 AM Page 86

Q&A WITH MARK BELLISSIMO What other new updates are taking place at IPC this year?

We are planning to continue our mission to revolutionize the sport and make it more accessible to both fans and new players. The International Polo School at IPC will be expanding to include more ponies and instructors so equestrians of all ages and levels can participate and learn the sport. We also hope to bring back the Gladiator Polo arena events and grow it to include a kid’s and women’s league. Fans on Sundays will also notice some new food and beverage options around the stadium and the great USPA Brand Shop located by the front lawn.

What special events do we have to look forward to this winter?

One of our other great events at WEF is the Great Charity Challenge, presented by Fidelity Investments®, which will be hosting its 10th-annual event on Saturday, Feb. 1. Since ESP started this event in 2010, it has grown to raise more than $13.5 million for more than 250 Palm Beach County charities. It’s always a very fun night for riders to compete in a charitable event and raise money for a good cause, and the pro-am competition is great for the spectators to enjoy. This year’s theme is “Broadway Musicals,” so we should expect to see some incredibly creative costumes.

world, has seen tremendous growth over the last few years since we added it to our ESP portfolio. Last year, we introduced the new GAUNTLET OF POLO™ tournament series, which attracted 16 teams of some of the world’s best polo players to compete for the $1 million prize. This season, we’re expecting even more players to participate, making the matches that much more thrilling to watch. The season kicks off on Sunday, December 29, 2019 with the Herbie Pennell Cup, and continues until April 19, 2020 with the U.S. Open Polo Championship final.

The venue is the largest and most spectator-friendly polo facility in the United States, and we want to continue for it to be a place that Wellington and Palm Beach County residents can enjoy. Each Sunday, we invite everyone to come out to the grounds at 3 p.m. and experience polo along with our great food and beverage options, family-friendly activities, and the fan-favorite champagne divot stomp at halftime. It’s a very special experience and a fantastic hospitality opportunity, with field tailgating, stadium seating, field-side brunch at The Pavilion, and exclusive sponsor boxes available.

How can the Wellington business community get involved in all this equestrian activity?

We really want the equestrian community to engage with the local businesses and offer many opportunities for them to participate, such as on-site vendor booths, multiple sponsorship levels, print and digital advertising, and hospitality for groups or corporate events.

What can people expect who may not know anything about equestrian sport?

What people may not know is that everyone is welcome at the PBIEC and IPC facilities. We want to make new fans of the sports of show jumping, dressage and polo. At WEF, “Saturday Night Lights” has proven to be very popular, and is a great way to experience the sport at the highest levels. This is a real family night event, and we welcome Wellington residents to experience the great entertainment and high-quality sport in their own backyard.

The “Friday Night Stars” is a great way to see the sport of dressage. The musical free-style routines are captivating and really fun to watch.

While Friday and Saturday nights are a big draw, people can come out to PBIEC anytime competition is happening to enjoy the facility, see beautiful horses and have a nice lunch while enjoying our beautiful South Florida atmosphere.

General admission is always free, and you can have a fun and family-oriented experience.

We have touted Wellington as an “Equestrian Lifestyle Destination,” and that continues to hold true. Even more now, there are opportunities for families to visit Wellington to watch or participate in horse sport, while also enjoying their

19_WEL 20_Equine.qxp_Layout 1 12/2/19 10:32 AM Page 87

time outside of the equestrian venue. We have tried to facilitate that in our purchase of The Wanderers Club and the International Polo Club.

How does the equestrian industry impact the Village of Wellington and Palm Beach County?

Equestrians come to Wellington every year to compete, and while they work hard, they also want to enjoy the lifestyle that Wellington provides. They rent or purchase houses and apartments, they shop, they dine, they spend quite a lot of money in Wellington and treat it as their second home. More than $130 million is generated for the local economy annually, and every year that number has continued to increase.

According to the Palm Beach County Business Development Board, the equestrian industry adds an estimated $500 million to the PBC economy annually. During the season, Wellington hosts an estimated 10,000 sport horses, the largest concentration of sport horses anywhere in the world.

We have seen growth in people buying second homes and second farms in Wellington, which directly translates into them spending more and more time in Palm Beach County. Our shoulder seasons in the fall and spring continue to grow as people recognize what a special place Wellington is and want to stay in town longer than just the winter season.

Now, in addition to WEF and AGDF, we have a vested interest in the polo world through our purchase of the International Polo Club. We feel that Wellington is an incredible destination to participate in and watch equestrian sport of all kinds. This industry is a huge part of what makes this area so special.

Wellington is the winter equestrian capital of the world, no doubt. I don’t think there is a great concentration of like minded people within one community centered around a sport anywhere else in the world. It is a place that brings tens of thousands of people for the love of the horse. They’re incredible animals, and we are fortunate to be a part of this community that celebrates them.

How do we find out more information?

We have all of the information on our websites, www.pbiec.com, www.globaldressagefestival.com and www.internationalpoloclub.com, and you can follow along with information, see photos and videos, and be a part of the PBIEC, AGDF and IPC experience on our Facebook and Instagram pages. We advertise in the local papers and hang posters in various businesses around town, and of course the Wellington Chamber of Commerce is always a great way to learn more.

Marc and Melissa Ganzi have established their polo club based off of the passion they have for the sport.

“The vision we had was to build a community polo club,” Marc Ganzi says. “We wanted a place where the locals can come and play year-round. We keep the spirit of the club very casual and keep it accessible to year-round residents of Wellington.”

“Many of our matches are open to the public and have no charge to be a spectator or tailgate,” Melissa Ganzi adds.

“We feel polo should be accessible to everyone. We wanted to make polo part of the community.”

All of the tournaments hosted at Grand Champions Polo Club are live-streamed by ChukkerTV.com. The leader in polo broadcasting is the exclusive live-streaming company for Grand Champions, with Toby Wayman and Dale Schwetz calling the plays and adding color commentary.

GCPC is located on the corner of Lake Worth Avenue and South Shore Boulevard in Wellington. Everyone is welcome to watch polo in a relaxed atmosphere during the spring, fall and winter tournament seasons.
