Divided Wellington Council OKs Medical Marijuana Facilities

By Jack Lowenstein Town-Crier Staff Report The Wellington Village Council passed the preliminary reading of an ordinance allowing medical marijuana dispensing facilities in the village at its meeting Tuesday, Nov. 15.

The approval involved land development regulations relating to retail uses; defining medical marijuana dispensing facilities and medical marijuana treatment centers; and regulating the size and location of pharmacies and medical marijuana facilities.

Village staff updated its zoning code for pharmacies in the village, recommending approval to allow the two different types of medical marijuana facilities in the village.

These state-regulated facilities have been brought before every municipality in the state since the constitutional amendment allow-

ing medical marijuana facilities passed in November 2016.

Mayor Anne Gerwig wanted further clarifications regarding the distinction between a typical pharmacy that the village already has code written for and these new types of facilities that would be treated like a pharmacy if authorized through council approval.

“The medical marijuana dispensing will not be done at any pharmacy. This is two separate items. Even though pharmacies are going to be regulated the same as a medical marijuana dispensing location, they will not be dispensing medical marijuana at the pharmacy,” Gerwig said, asking staff for confirmation.

Planning, Zoning & Building Director Bob Basehart confirmed Gerwig’s assessment of the state mandate for either banning the use for the new types of medical See MARIJUANA, page 17

Two Seats Available During VETERANS DAY SALUTE Upcoming Wellington Election

By Jack Lowenstein Town-Crier Staff Report The 2018 election season is starting to take shape in the Village of Wellington. Two seats on the Wellington Village Council will be up for election, and Seat 3 incumbent Vice Mayor John McGovern and Seat 2 incumbent Councilwoman Tanya Siskind will both be seeking full four-year terms.

The election will be held Tuesday, March 13. Previously, candidates could qualify for the ballot as late as the middle of February.

However, changes in state law led Wellington to change its qualifying dates. This year, candidates will have to qualify for the ballot by noon on Tuesday, Dec. 19.

Aside from the two incumbents, no other candidates have formally entered the race. However, longtime Wellington resident and equestrian Mason Phelps Jr. told the Town-Crier this week that he is heavily considering entering into the local election for the opportunity to sit on the council.

McGovern was appointed to Seat 3 in January 2015 to replace Howard Coates when Coates was appointed as a circuit court judge

by Gov. Rick Scott. McGovern was elected to the position without opposition in 2016. Should he draw a challenger, the 2018 election will be the first time his name will actually appear on the ballot.

“I believe that Wellington is a truly special and unique place in Palm Beach County,” McGovern said. “Having been the first council person to have grown up here and then come back to serve on the village council has been a tremendous honor. I also take it as a very serious responsibility and a public trust.”

McGovern noted a significant investment in public safety in the village during his years as a councilman.

“In the three years that I have been on the council, we have increased the number of deputies on the street,” he said. “We have made a significant investment in road

and drainage and trail improvements. We have set in motion a complete overhaul and refurbishment of our water utility. We have made sure that our residents and our community are going to be safe and function effectively from an infrastructure point of view for decades to come.”

McGovern believes that during his time on the council, he and his fellow members have changed the community perspective of what the council’s role is and the way it behaves as community leaders. In the past, he said, it was difficult for the council to get even the simplest things accomplished.

“I think, in the last two years, we have reversed that,” McGovern said. “We have gone to primarily electronic building permits. We have rewritten our codes to make the application process simpler, clearer and more efficient both for our staff and for those who are coming in to petition to get something done, and I think that See ELECTION, page 17

By Ron Bukley Town-Crier Staff Report The Loxahatchee Groves Town Council last week approved direction to the town manager to develop a special assessment policy for road improvements.

Town Manager Bill Underwood said a special assessment policy would help generate resources to take care of roads that are in various stages of needing repair and maintenance.

The town has been hamstrung by a lack of funds to keep up the roads properly, and has been further saddled by the inheritance of roads from the Loxahatchee Groves Water Control District.

The plan would be based on a procurement policy created in 2008 by the council to provide public services to the owners of

private property who will receive a benefit from the services provided.

“We can do a lot of things,” Underwood said. “The assessment program is for public services, public works projects, and it adds to or extends the capability of that service, whether it’s roads, drainage, whatever it is we’re going to do that increases safety, accessibility or the value of the properties involved.”

The program can provide construction, rehabilitation, repair, maintenance, paving, repaving, widening, guttering or draining of streets, alleys and sidewalks.

“We can put together an assessment program that includes the drainage that the council approved earlier and tie that in with road improvements,” Underwood said, explaining that the council would

have to approve an intent resolution that includes specific criteria.

“We have to design the nature of the work, that is, the drainage and the roads we’re going to improve,” he said. “We’re going to have to identify the pro-rated benefit, the cost of the assessments, so someone has to come up with an estimated cost, and then the manner in which we’re going to do the assessments, whether you’re going to do frontage, square footage, acres, etc.”

The council would also have to determine how the assessments would be paid, what part of the assessment the town would pick up and whether it would come from general assessments, grants or other sources.

The town would also have to See LOX ROADS, page 7

Ed Board Discusses Lox Council Tells Manager To Charter School And Draw Up Plan To Fix Roads Choice Programs

By Craig Campbell Town-Crier Staff Report The Royal Palm Beach Education Advisory Board met Monday, Nov. 13 and heard a presentation by the Renaissance Charter School at Palms West, as well as a report by staff members from the School District of Palm Beach County’s Career and Technical Education Department, which generated a lot of discussion.

Renaissance Palms West Principal Steve Epstein emphasized the commitment to public service at the school.

He showed a video presentation in which he, teachers and students narrated the numerous service projects that the school has engaged in this academic year so far.

Thanking First Responders Day, the Penny Walk for Leukemia and

the “takeover” of Applebee’s for a Sunday morning breakfast to help raise money for hurricane relief were some of the service projects mentioned.

Epstein continually emphasized the service and leadership, as well as the academic components of the charter school’s educational approach. “The school truly is service-oriented,” he said.

Renaissance sets aside a couple of days every month to have the students focus on leadership through service. The students break out into smaller groups and brainstorm on what projects they can do.

One example was that the administration, faculty, students and parents helped to assemble and organize a temporary library beSee ED BOARD, page 17

Cypress Trails Promoting New STEM Choice Program

By Craig Campbell Town-Crier Staff Report Cypress Trails Elementary School in Royal Palm Beach conducted a tour for students and parents who are considering applying for the new science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) curriculum at the school on Wednesday, Nov. 15.

Principal Shari Bremekamp said she helped to introduce the comprehensive program — along with the faculty and staff — last year.

Bremekamp said there are approximately 40 students, out of a total 500 students, who are enrolled in the choice program from outside the geographic boundary footprint of Cypress Trails.

Since it’s only the second year the STEM curriculum is in place, she expects the number of choice students to increase over time.

“I love this curriculum, and I am so proud that we were chosen to be a pilot school,” Bremekamp said.

The program is more than just making classes in the academic disciplines available, but rather a cross-curricular integration where every aspect of the students’ learning experience is connected to all the others.

One example is that one grade level has a reading program focused on the anatomy of the human body, and they are also studying the anatomy of the human body on Z Space 3D computer software in the interactive science/ math lab.

Cypress Trails has 10 of the computers that can support the Z Space 3D software, which is the same number as at nearby Crestwood Middle School. This helps to add to the kindergarten through

grade 12 continuum that district and school administrators say is so important.

Bremekamp said Crestwood has also opened up its TV production equipment and instructors, as well as the multimedia, music and communications, pre-engineering and pre-business and information technology programs to the students at Cypress Trails.

“We live and breathe this curriculum every day,” she added.

In the music class, the students are learning how the science of sound — or acoustics — allows something as simple as a taut string to become a musical instrument.

In another class, Susan Monticello, a STEM coordinator and fourth-grade team leader, works with models and weights in water to help the students better underSee STEM, page 7

Wellington Approves Special-Use Permit For Dressage Festival

By Jack Lowenstein Town-Crier Staff Report The Wellington Village Council approved a seasonal equestrian use permit for the Equestrian Village site at the northeast corner of Pierson Road and South Shore Blvd. on Tuesday, Nov. 14.

Equestrian Village is home to the Adequan Global Dressage Festival. The council has continually granted seasonal permits for the request.

At one point, the council approved a resolution that designated Equestrian Village as a commercial equestrian arena, if it met certain conditions. That would have eliminated the need for a season permit. However, the complex has had issues complying due to standing litigation from a lawsuit that was filed in 2012.

A main area of concern, and a condition that hasn’t been met at the complex, has been the requirement by the village to complete road and intersection improvements.

Vice Mayor John McGovern wanted to know if there were any significant road failures or other causes for concern related to the pending improvements.

“On show nights, there is a lot of traffic out there, so we’re going to have traffic issues with show let-out times,” Village Manager Paul Schofield said.

There is supposed to be about an hour in between shows that are back-to-back, in order to allow for more ease in traffic flow when people are coming and going into the complex.

Village staff said that with the pending litigation and development order extension issued by the state, the improvements have not been completed.

“Under the new permit provisions that we passed, if this application gets approved tonight, and it comes back next year as the identical application, would it come before the council again?”

Councilman Michael Napoleone asked.

Planning, Zoning & Building Director Bob Basehart said it would only return to the council if the special permit it is approving this year changed over the coming year.

“When this was approved last year, the condition was that the road improvements would be done, and it wouldn’t have to come back anymore… and we’re sitting here again with the improvements not being done,” Napoleone said.

He said that he would like to get the situation resolved.

“I understand there was a declaration of emergency that gave them another extension, but I don’t know that there has been any movement by the applicant to try to even pull permits and make any efforts to get the improvements completed prior to the declaration of emergency,” Napoleone said.

“So, I don’t want this to keep coming back here and to have the same problem that the work that is supposed to be done to allow this to function there is still not being done.”

With state law overriding the actions the council can take, Mayor

Anne Gerwig said it puts the council in a difficult spot.

“But we would have the option to place an additional condition that if this particular application comes back, we could have it appear before us,” she said.

McGovern agreed that such a condition is important for continuing to follow up to ensure that the improvements are made.

“I want to see this special-use permit passed with all of the conditions that are there, but I do think that we should add the condition that they should come back yearly for us to look at what’s happening in that area,” he said.

The ongoing traffic issue is a concern, McGovern said.

“I think the things that are happening at that site are important, whether it be dressage. I think Gladiator Polo is a great addition, something that we’ve all been there to see and participate in,” he said.

Councilwoman Tanya Siskind supported the shows at the Equestrian Village site.

“The shows are very valuable,” she said. “Yes, there is an increase in traffic, but a lot of people are enjoying them.”

In the special permit use request this year, the applicant wanted to add 86 stalls mainly to be used during dressage events throughout the season. McGovern said that the recommendation made

by Basehart and his staff to add the stalls would alleviate the need for horse owners to bring trailers onto the property to deliver horses at events.

There was a general consensus that the council wanted to continue to see the special use permit brought back as an agenda item for review in order to monitor the progress made at the complex regarding the improvements.

“I think it would be prudent to make sure we see this every year,” Councilman Michael Drahos said.

“I think it needs to be communicated rather clearly that each year that we see this, and these condi-

tions of approval have not been met, it’s putting this council in a very difficult position, because we want to see this succeed. It does provide a lot of benefits to the community, yet we cannot have these conditions just continue to be unmet for years on end.”

Drahos voiced his concern that the litigation is not the main reason that the improvements have not been completed, and Gerwig agreed.

“We want to know that the intention is for this to be a commercial arena permanently, like it was applied,” she said. “Somehow, that’s what we’re trying to get to.”

McGovern made a motion to approve the special use permit with all conditions recommended by staff and the condition to have the applicant return next year for council approval. Napoleone seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

Lox Council Approves First Reading Of Flood Plain Ordinance

By Ron Bukley Town-Crier Staff Report The Loxahatchee Groves Town Council approved the preliminary reading of a flood plain ordinance last week that will allow homeowners to obtain federally backed flood insurance, although several residents had concerns about the cost.

At the council’s Nov. 7 meeting, Town Attorney Michael Cirullo explained that the ordinance will establish flood plain regulations for the town, and that approval was necessary for residents to qualify for federal flood insurance.

Cirullo explained that the ordinance does not exempt agricultural

land, but does exempt certain de minimus agricultural uses. He said the ordinance is a standard form that has been vetted by the Florida Division of Emergency Management, as well as the Federal Emergency Management Agency, in order for property owners to be able to participate in the federal flood insurance program.

“It only applies in those portions of the town that are designated flood areas, which are provided by the FEMA maps,” Cirullo said.

“People have to look at the maps and see whether they need to do these extra works. It is not retroactive. People who have existing structures today do not have to

automatically come in now and raise them all up, so to speak, but if they come in to do more work or to amend or revise, as a legal non-conforming use, they would have to at that point.”

The ordinance went to the Loxahatchee Groves Planning & Zoning Committee this week for review and will return to the council in December for final approval.

Councilman Todd McLendon said the ordinance has several provisions that don’t appear to make sense, and added that he was curious how many homes in Loxahatchee Groves will actually be affected, as well as the cost to the

town to implement the ordinance.

Town Manager Bill Underwood said he did not have information on how many homes carrying mortgages are in the flood zone, but Cirullo said the updated FEMA maps showing homes in the flood plain are posted on the town’s web site.

Vice Mayor Ron Jarriel said he thought the town should be able to get a list of people who are in the flood zone.

During public comment, Henry Lewis of March Circle said he carries a mortgage and is in a flood zone and was concerned about whether he’ll be able to obtain flood insurance.

Nina Corning said the requirements of the ordinance appear to require a large number of conditions that a resident must fulfill in order to modify their property.

“Please read this top to bottom, side to side; it’s an issue,” she said.

Jo Milano said that half her barn is on the flood plain map and half is not.

“I agree with Nina. I think it really demands a close look,” Milano said. “If you look at things on this map, it’s clear that it’s just an overlay onto the existing map.

It’s going to be tricky throughout the town.”

Marge Herzog said she has an equity line of credit, and her bank

told her that with the equity line, she had to have flood insurance.

“They said that if I didn’t get a policy, they would institute one for me with a price,” Herzog said.

“I called my homeowners’ insurance… and they said I would have to hire a private elevation specialist, and I’d have to go to the town or the county in order to get a certificate of elevation. There are so many things that would have to be done in order to hope for a lower insurance rate that it was prohibitive. You might as well roll over and take the punishment with the policy that they’re offering you.”

Herzog said that from looking at See FLOOD, page 4

LGWCD OKs Measures Anticipating Becoming Dependent To Town

By Ron Bukley Town-Crier Staff Report On Monday, Nov. 14, the Loxahatchee Groves Water Control District Board of Supervisors approved several items anticipating the district’s transition to becoming dependent to the town.

A local bill sponsored by State Rep. Matt Willhite (D-District 86) was approved last month by the Palm Beach County Legislative Delegation and is on its way through the state legislature. The transition depends on the approval of a future referendum, possibly in March.

During public comment at the start of the meeting, Loxahatchee Groves Vice Mayor Ron Jarriel urged the board to hold onto its usable road maintenance equipment, pointing out that he and Councilman Dave DeMarois had voted not to accept the remaining district roads due to their bad condition.

“I’m here tonight because you have a supervisor or two who have a tendency to say that the roads that you turned over to the town are deplorable and inexcusable, and I agree with you 100 percent,” Jarriel said. “We… knew, and I believe you knew, that those roads would become more deplorable than they were.”

Jarriel, a former LGWCD supervisor, said the district should keep its usable road equipment, as the board has discussed, and

was scheduled to discuss again that night.

“I’m here again tonight to ask you if you haven’t already sold it to hold on to the John Deere,” he said. “You can keep the John Deere in reserve just for emergency situations, possibly have an interlocal agreement for emergency uses only.”

In other business, the board approved an amended budget for fiscal year 2017 showing a deficit related to a professional services cost overage from undertaking initiatives associated with the Bank United loan that was used to finance paving with open-graded emulsified mix (OGEM); preparing quit claim deeds and resolutions of acceptance for district roads; reviewing legal descriptions associated with conveying roads; responding to a legal complaint and a summons; and reviewing easements proposed by Palm Beach State College. There also was a cost overage due to maintenance of road graders and water trucks.

LGWCD Administrator Steve Yohe said the deadline for approving the past year’s budget is Nov. 30. It does not include $15,254 in gas tax owed by the town or an $8,950 reimbursement for the town’s 50 percent share of the cost of road survey work for quit claim deeds.

Without those reimbursements,

the 2016-17 fiscal year amended budget projects a $61,180 overage, which would cut the designated reserve from $157,132 to $95,952, the staff report noted.

Yohe said he expects to receive the $15,254 and $8,950 from the town by Nov. 30 and that auditor Grau & Associates will reconcile the budget.

LGWCD President Anita Kane said that in the worst case, “our reserves are down to $120,000, which is well below what Grau & Associates says we need to have.”

Yohe said the figures are acceptable because they are the best estimates at this point, and the following year shows the reserves being replenished by $75,000, and in the next fiscal year, the district will have paid off $90,000 on equipment that was financed five years ago.

Yohe also pointed out that legal services far exceeded what is reflected in the amended budget, but that the district’s legal firm, Caldwell & Pacetti, forgave $35,000.

Supervisor Simon Fernandez made a motion to approve the amended budget, which carried 4-0 with Supervisor Karen Piesley absent.

The board also approved a one-year extension for Grau & Associates for auditing services with a 2.2 percent increase on its current bill of $13,600.

Yohe pointed out that the firm

has provided auditing services since fiscal year 2006, with an annual average increase of 3 percent, and has valuable historical knowledge. He recommended retaining the firm. “The cost for this is reasonable,” he said.

Supervisor Laura Danowski asked if it is normal to retain a firm for that long without going out for bids, and Yohe said that in the case of an auditing firm, it is acceptable as long as they perform their job.

“At this point in time, I wouldn’t recommend changing course… given that we’re moving to become a dependent district,” he said. “This is your institutional memory, and you want to keep those people who have been here the longest as you make this major step forward.”

Kane agreed, adding that “ultimately, it is the citizens who will decide,” and that if the referendum fails and the district remains independent, she would like to go out for bids.

“I’m not saying that we would switch,” she said. “I just think it’s prudent to take a look at whoever’s out there.”

Supervisor Connie Bell urged staff to move forward getting records scanned and filed electronically, regardless of whether the district becomes dependent.

“We need to be good neighbors… and try to get all the pa-

perwork we can in order and in files, because somebody’s going to have to absorb all of that in the future,” she said. “We still have to do business every day and move forward.”

Fernandez made a motion to approve the one-year extension, which carried 4-0.

The board also discussed the auction of surplus equipment, including the district’s only serviceable grader and water truck.

Yohe said he had been in contact with several auctioneers who offered variable terms. He added that there are other options, such as advertising in heavy equipment magazines, pointing out that the district sold a pump several years ago to a South American nation for $20,000.

Bell said someone asked at the last Loxahatchee Groves Town Council meeting why the district could not transfer some of the serviceable equipment to the town, since the taxpayers had already paid for it, although the two still are separate.

Bell added that from watching council meetings, she heard comments indicating some members don’t believe the district is trying to work with them to make an easy transition.

“To address that, I would like to have an answer to give them,” she said.

Danowski said she would be

concerned about liability for the equipment if the district ceded it to the town and the town left it at the district compound.

Fernandez pointed out that the district has an emergency generator that the town might use to power its office, which sat dark after Hurricane Irma.

During public comment, Jarriel said he favored getting rid of the equipment that the district doesn’t need, but reiterated his suggestion.

“We are two entities in the same town,” he said. “If you become dependent to the town… you will become our public utility, and I do believe we will find a way to use the equipment. I hope we can get the referendum going in March.”

Kane said direction had been given to have their legal questions answered by the December meeting, and hoped to have answers from the council by then as to what it would like to do.

The board also discussed putting out a request for qualifications for a forensic audit of the $2.6 million bank loan that was used to pay for OGEM paving, after members threw out unsatisfactory requests for proposals last month. The purpose of the audit was to assure a smooth transition of ownership to the town.

LGWCD Attorney Frank Palin said he planned to get a new reSee LGWCD, page 7

“Because any part of my property has floodability, they said you have to have flood insurance, according to the rules,” she said.

“We’re kind of at their mercy.”

Mayor Dave Browning said the town spent money getting the flood plain map revised.

“We eliminated a tremendous number of homes that were in

the original flood plain that were taken out,” Browning said. “What bothers me is that big chunks of Palm Beach County are 10 or 11 feet above sea level and they’re not in flood zones. Our canals are kept at 16.5 [feet], which means most of us in Loxahatchee Groves are anywhere from 19 to 22 [feet], and the federal government, in

its wisdom, says we’re in a flood zone.”

Cirullo said the ordinance is essentially a template supplied by FEMA. “If you have additional comments or questions tonight, we can try to contact them until they cut us off,” Cirullo said, adding that the council is not required

to approve the ordinance, but if it is not in place, federal flood insurance will not be available to residents.

“When someone comes in for new construction, needs a permit, this will be an additional layer of review, but passing this is not going to require the town to go out there and do a survey of the

existing conditions of all the properties,” he said.

Councilman Ryan Liang made a motion to approve the preliminary reading of the ordinance, but specified that it must be reviewed by the Planning & Zoning Committee and the Unified Land Development Committee, which carried 5-0.

Oldest Living Chimp Dies At Lion Country

Little Mama, the oldest living chimpanzee on record, passed away Tuesday at Lion Country Safari surrounded by her family group of eight other chimps, as well as her dedicated care staff.

Over the past few weeks, her health deteriorated, and veterinary staff believe she died of kidney failure. A staff favorite, Little Mama has been at Lion Country Safari since 1967. Prior to coming to safari, it is believed that she was a pet and reportedly performed in the Ice Capades. World-renowned primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall first visited Little Mama in 1972 and estimated her age at that time.

The lifespan for chimpanzees in the wild is 40 to 50 years, and 50 to 60 years in captivity. Little Mama was in her late 70s.

“She held a special place in the heart of anyone who ever had the privilege to meet her,” said Tina Cloutier Barbour, primate curator at Lion Country Safari.

“In all ways, Mama was special. It soothes me to think that she will be

with us forever, in our hearts and memories. I’ll never forget the way she looked at her caretakers, with such joy and trust — and demand, if you had a particular treat that she wanted.”

Lion Country Safari is the only drive-through safari in South Florida. For more information, call (561) 793-1084 or visit www. lioncountrysafari.com.

Valet Parking At WPB VA

The West Palm Beach VA Medical Center now offers complimentary valet parking to all veterans who are visiting the medical center for their appointments. The existing parking lot located on the upper parking deck adjacent to the emergency department and the main east entrance of the medical center has been converted into a valet lot.

This latest move is just one way the West Palm Beach VA is working to ensure that veterans receive the highest level of customer service possible during their visits.

“We want every veteran coming to the medical center to experience

world-class customer service,” said Donna Katen-Bahensky, director of the West Palm Beach VA Medical Center.

The new valet parking service will be provided by the Congaree Group LLC., a service disabled veteran-owned small business.

Annexo Coffee & Bites A Unique New Getaway In Wellington

By Craig Campbell Town-Crier Staff Report For Erika Salleres and Andres Zambrano, owning their own eatery was always a dream, and when they were married four years ago, they wanted to turn that dream into reality.

Annexo Coffee & Bites is an eclectic establishment that doesn’t fit into one particular category.

It’s a coffee house, wine bar, beer garden and café all rolled into one.

Salleres and Zambrano are native to Venezuela, but they both have been in the United States for the past decade. Salleres is an executive with Citibank in South Florida and has lived in both New York and Washington, D.C. Zambrano is a graduate of culinary school who traveled the world as a personal chef.

Salleres is co-owner and general manager, while Zambrano is coowner and executive chef.

“I was cooking for other people with very specific diets and palates, and I wanted to cook what I like for people,” Zambrano explained.

The coffee bar offers many different kinds of coffee, along with

continued from page 1 stand gravity, mass and buoyancy.

“I love her,” Bremekamp said of Monticello. “She gets everybody rocking and rolling because she isn’t afraid to get in there and do it,” The interactive science/math lab also has a 3D printer where

espressos, lattes, macchiatos, cappuccinos and teas.

“We have coffee because we are coffee lovers, and were tired of the same coffee we find out in the streets,” Salleres said.

There are extensive offerings of bottled and draught beer, wine by the glass and bottle, “bites” (appetizers and panini sandwiches), salads and sweets on the menu.

“Annexo” in Spanish refers to a guest apartment that’s attached to or near the main house. It’s a metaphor for offering one’s culture, food, tastes, style, values and family traditions to the community. For Salleres and Zambrano, it’s offering who they are to the people of the western communities to enjoy.

Zambrano said the couple spent a lot of time planning and exploring locations. It came down to a choice between Fort Lauderdale and Wellington, but the Wellington location and space were too good to pass up.

The décor is very comfy. The walls were painted by family and friends in soothing earth tones with comforting colors, while Salleres and Zambrano collaborated in

choosing tables, chairs, benches and couches.

Zambrano has 20 years of experience in the food and beverage industry, working for hotels, restaurants and private clients. If you ask him to use one word to describe the food he loves, it is “classic.”

“I want to serve cuisine that requires a lot of techniques and layers, but is in an informal presentation,” he explained.

Zambrano is trying to network with farmers in the area so that he can locally source as many ingredients as possible.

“We want to create something with good food that is elegant, but with an informal presentation and an eclectic setting with friends and family all around,” Salleres explained. “We want homemade with high standards.”

She said they want to bring the community together by reaching out to poets, musicians and artists, and have them perform and display their works of art at Annexo.

Zambrano added that he would like to show some of their favorite movies on the big-screen,

information technology staff member Dominick Barnes is teaching students to work with the computer hardware and software that makes 3D printing possible.

There is also a Polycom media conferencing system that allows Cypress Trails to partner with other schools across the county, state, country and world.

Bremekamp has brought in a personalized video-game-building learning tool called Bloxels, as well.

The lab was created and is maintained through grants from

foundations or gifts from private donors, Bremekamp said.

She added that they’ve received $33,000 in monetary support so far, and are hoping to get another $10,000 donation soon.

STEM at Cypress Trails is about more than just computers. There is a heavy focus and emphasis on environmental science, which Bremekamp said is very important to everyone in Palm Beach County and across Florida.

There are plenty of native plants in the various gardens throughout the campus. The real gem is the nature trail for walking that encompasses the entire property on one side. Bremekamp said it not only serves as a living biological and environmental laboratory, but is a great place to have students walk out any excessive energy and disruptive classroom behavior.

A hidden aspect of the STEM curriculum is to teach the students about how to work in teams.

“Corporations have continually said they can’t teach employees how to collaborate and work in teams,” Bremekamp explained.

“Social media is isolating and can inhibit a student’s social development because it’s too much one-on-one. A lot of what we do is project-oriented.”

The school has a number of after-school programs, field trips and extracurricular clubs, including a science and engineering club called SECME. “The majority of the members

in the SECME club are girls,” Assistant Principal Lauren Hall said.

Supporting and encouraging girls who are interested in STEM fields is a priority for the administration, faculty and staff at Cypress Trails, she added.

A very unique aspect of the Cypress Hills STEM curricu-

ready have, but you want to come up with an overall project, overall idea of it, because when you’ve got a special assessment, you have to deliver what you’re collecting it on, pursuant to a plan of action,” Cirullo said. “It assures that some people don’t pay and get nothing.”

Cirullo said it would take a lot of work to develop a plan that includes road improvements, culverts and road maintenance.

Underwood noted that the town has been putting rock down on the roads for the past 18 months, except at times he told the council it didn’t have the money.

“I’m trying to find a mechanism that we can use, but we would need instruction to carry forward and get those answers for you so that we could do it and get it in place, and regardless of how you do it, whether it’s on the tax bill or start it midyear, these answers have to be brought forward,” he said, ex-

plaining that it would be a non-ad valorem assessment.

Cirullo said the assessment would be complicated, and a simple division of assessments by acreage would not be acceptable.

Underwood said Cirullo had found a possible consultant that might be able to help with a methodology that could withstand court challenges, if any, and staff could prepare a request for qualifications if the council wished.

Vice Mayor Ron Jarriel said he would like to know the cost to the town. “The other problem I have is the water control district,” Jarriel said. “We’re still paying assessments to them for roads.”

Councilman Todd McLendon made a motion to take all actions necessary to move forward with the proposal, which carried 5-0.

Cirullo said that a plan of action would be prepared for the council’s next meeting.

Assistant Principal Lauren Hall and Principal Shari Bremekamp have introduced a new STEM curriculum at Cypress Trails.

Special Assessment

continued from page 1 describe the lands on which the special assessment is going to be levied, along with the estimated cost.

“This is not a fast and furious process, because just to get the answers to all of these things, it’s going to require some work,” he said.

Town Attorney Michael Cirullo said he will have an intent resolution prepared for the council’s Dec. 5 meeting in order for the council to levy the assessment in 2018.

“You have to do the intent resolution in December to tell the property appraiser you are going to do that next year,” Cirullo said.

“You can discuss this if you like in conjunction with that at the

next meeting, but this process will require some time. If you want to give us the direction to start moving forward with the review of it, the town manager can start looking at getting what it would take to get the answers to these things in order to put something together for you to consider, maybe in January.”

The assessment bills would be mailed to recipients of the special assessment for the remaining fiscal year and would show up on the tax bill after that.

He added that the town would have to show special benefit for the residents paying the assessment.

Mayor Dave Browning asked whether the assessment would raise the $500,000 needed for rock to bring roads up to grade, and Cirullo explained that it would establish a funding mechanism.

“Maybe your culverts or maybe your additional funding coming to supplement the funds that you al-

Annexo is a family business beyond just Salleres and Zambrano, with his mother and sister also working there. It’s a place where you can go and relax by yourself, or to hang out with friends, grab a quick bite to eat or savor a coffee with a rich, taste-tempting dessert.

The prices are quite affordable, with the no food item priced higher than $12.50.

“We want people to experience the passion we have for this place and what we offer,” Salleres said.

“This is our dream!” Zambrano exclaimed.

They will host a grand opening celebration on Friday, Nov. 17 at 6 p.m. There will be a tap takeover

by Lexington Brewing, along with beer and wine selections and a special trio plate for the occasion.

The board also approved extending its Erdman Anthony engineering contract for one year.

Yohe pointed out that Erdman Anthony has provided engineering services to the district since 1996, and given its institutional memory, he recommended extending the contract one year, explaining that Palin had prepared a contract form.

Kane asked whether research is being done to unify the boundaries of the town and the district. Several properties in the district are outside the boundaries of the town, which has been called into question for

Kane said the question would not stop Willhite from presenting the district’s local bill, but felt it should be resolved.

Bell made a motion to approve the one-year extension, which carried 4-0.

During supervisor comments, Kane thanked residents for coming to the board meetings but said she was troubled that fighting between the LGWCD board and the town council continues.

“It kind of pains me a little bit that there is continued animosity between the town council and this board,” she said. “I think that we’re working very hard to clean up a lot of those things and work together, so I’m hoping that we can continue to make positive progress and grow the town together in a responsible fashion.”

Most people wouldn’t let a day pass without brushing their teeth. Unfortunately, dog owners let months, maybe years, go without polishing their animals’ pearly whites. Begin the new care-taking of teeth by visiting the veterinarian and having your dog’s teeth thoroughly cleaned and evaluated. Talk to the vet about the proper way to brush the animal’s teeth. At home, it’ll take some time, patience, and training to work up to daily brushing. Start slowly by massaging the dog’s cheeks for a minute or two, and then work up to inserting a specially designed pet toothbrush into the mouth. Put a drop of pet toothpaste on a treat to acclimate the animal to the taste, and advance to daily teeth cleanings.

Well-cared for teeth reduce a dog’s bad breath as well as promote good overall health. If you would like more information on how to properly care for your pet’s teeth, or if you would like to schedule an appointment for professional dental care, please call us at COMMUNITY ANIMAL HOSPITAL OF ROYAL PALM BEACH. We offer a full range of dental, medical, and surgical services, with a heavy emphasis on preventive care.

Please call 798-5508 for appointments or emergencies pertaining to your pet’s health. We are conveniently located at 11462 Okeechobee Blvd., 1/4 mile east of Royal Palm Beach Blvd. OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. P.S.

The Breakdown of Sports Performance

How can athletes perform to the best of their ability after sport specific training for muscular strength, power, and endurance? Well, by being flexible, of course! Flexibility is the counterpoint to muscular strength; the greater the range of motion present in the joints of an athlete, the greater the ability to move dynamically. An inflexible athlete is unlikely to ever achieve outstanding athletic performance. Inflexibility in human joints creates imbalance in the connective tissues and muscle structures, which will reduce the ability of the muscle to achieve maximum power and will increase the risk of injury.

Young athletes and adolescents who are seeing a fast rate of growth have an exceptional amount of stress placed on their ligaments and tendons near their growth plates. It is quite common in children to experience pain in these areas due to tightness that often is referred to as “growing pains”. As the bones grow faster than the soft tissues can accommodate, the attachments get stretched to the maximum. By incorporating some specific stretches on a consistent basis one can aid children and young athletes in reducing the amount of discomfort and increasing their success in performance.

Another component under the neuromuscular pillar is the ability of the body to respond to external stimuli, such as the movement of an opponent or the starter’s gun, which requires the development of the athlete’s motor control.

These specific neuromuscular abilities include the feature of reaction time.

How important is this in the eventual outcome of the contest? Highly important.

Fractions of a second often times determine the outcome of a specific contest.

And nobody likes second place.

Palm Beach Fellowship Hosts Reception

The Palm Beach Fellowship of Christians & Jews kicked off its 25th anniversary season with a successful Welcome Back Reception on Nov. 2 at the Society of the Four Arts in Palm Beach.

More than 150 members and guests in attendance enjoyed the hors d’oeuvres and libations.

Chairman John C. Randolph welcomed everyone, explaining that the organization was founded in 1993, a result of the efforts of a handful of Palm Beach residents who sought to combat intolerance and anti-Semitism that existed on the island at the time.

He outlined programs for the upcoming season, which include Fellowship Friday, Sunday Conversations, the Annual Dinner and the Arts and Essay Contest. A new series, Pizza and Pathways, will be facilitated by Rabbi Howard Shapiro and Thomas G. O’Brien III, who formerly moderated Interfaith Dialogues.

Randolph said he is looking forward to hearing Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks speak at the Annual Dinner. His book, Not in God’s Name, is about confronting religious violence and is particularly relevant in the world today.

“The fellowship seeks to put an end to that,” Randolph said.

“We attempt to do that through education and dialogue, by sitting together at the table to attempt to understand what makes us the same and what makes us different

Quick-Thinking Teachers Save Student’s Life

A miracle happened at Equestrian Trails Elementary School last week, thanks to the quick actions of two teachers.

As students filed into the dismissal room to wait for their parents, third grader Kolston Moradi sat down on the carpet and waited to be called to his mother’s car in the car line.

In what by all accounts can only be described as a freak accident, the simple force of his weight sitting down sent a newly sharpened pencil that Kolston had put in the side pocket of his backpack into his arm near his armpit. “I didn’t really feel anything,” he explained.

“But when I went to put [the pencil] in my backpack, I realized it was in me, and I pulled it out.”

Right away, Kolston went to reading teacher Mandi Kapopoulos, who happened to be nearby, and showed her his injury. ESE coordinator Elizabeth Richards, also nearby, saw what was going on. Both women acted immediately, with Kapopoulos tightly wrapping the sleeve of her shirt around Kolston’s arm to act as a tourniquet. Richards ran to get gloves so that she could use her

hand to apply direct pressure to the wound.

“My shirt was drenched [with blood],” Kapopoulos said. “And there was a trail of blood all over the floor.”

“I have been an educator for 28 years, and I’ve never seen anything like it,” Principal Michele Johnson said.

Richards, who attended nursing school before deciding to become a teacher, laid down on the floor with Kolston while she continued to apply pressure and kept him calm.

As they awaited an ambulance, Kolston’s mother, Annalisa Moradi, who was waiting her turn in the car line, received a call to come in to the school. “When I saw the ambulance, my heart sank,” she said.

Carrying her two small children, she was taken to her son by Johnson. “At first, I didn’t understand what happened, but as soon as I walked in, I felt like the situation was under control. They were calm, and they kept me calm,” Moradi said.

It wasn’t until they were loaded into the ambulance that the severity of the accident became clear.

TV production students (front row) Evan Eisenstark and Amanda Jewett; (second row) Chloe Barcia, Magali Nicho, Jadelyn Bruce, and Christina Gonzalez; (third row) Danielle Leslie, Melina Adue, Carly Swanson and Shannon O’Sullivan; and (back row) Kevin McCarthy, Jonathan Alvarez, Craig Inscoe and Anthony Bowie.

sociation District 7 Convention held Nov. 4, and the students placed in two of three on-the-spot broadcast journalism challenges. Congratulations to Melina Adue, Ana Fontecchio and Carly Swanson, who took the silver in the Live to Tape category, and to Jonathan Alvarez, Chloe Barcia and Danielle Leslie, who earned the bronze in the Broadcast Commentary challenge.

Hawk Thespians Are Critics’ Choice — In district competition Nov. 4, students in the SRHS drama program earned not only straight superiors but also were named Critics’ Choice and first alternate for state competition.

Hawk thespians performed Matt Casarino’s over-the-top comedy A Curtain Call to Arms, or The Final Bow. Congratulations to cast members Kristen Bown, Matthew Coon, Ethan Engh, Deja Gamble, Josh Goodwin, Alexa Grieco, Jonathan Heine, Heidi Higdon, Alexa Koenig, Lindsay Kolhorst, Taylor Ford Loizzo, Emily Moree, Alex Quiggle, Emma Rodriguez and Alyssa Sharpe.

RED RIBBON WEEK AT POLO PARK MIDDLE

Principal Michele Johnson, teachers Elizabeth Richards and Mandi Kapopoulos with third-grader Kolston Moradi.

The pencil had gone approximately six inches into Kolston’s arm, puncturing an artery.

“The EMT told me that if the teachers hadn’t acted as quickly as they had, my son would be dead,” Moradi said.

Since the accident, the school has taken measures to remind all of the children to keep their pencils in their pencil cases, and seek out an adult immediately if ever they become injured.

Kolston received two staples in his arm, but thanks to Richards and Kapopulous, did not require a blood transfusion. He was insistent that he return to school the next day with a great story to tell.

“You are sending your most cherished people to school, and I know I can send them to school and never have another worry about their safety,” Moradi said.

“There are no words to say thank you enough.”

During this year’s Red Ribbon Week, held Oct. 23 to Oct. 27, the organization known as Living Skills in the Schools (LSIS) spoke to students at Polo Park Middle School. LSIS is a substance abuse prevention and education program, where age-appropriate presenters share their personal experiences with substance abuse and the importance of maintaining an addiction-free lifestyle.

Recovery speakers shared their personal stories and discussed the importance of coping and refusal skills, while providing insight into the perils of substance abuse. Students were fascinated with the presentation and asked thoughtful questions. Shown above are program assistant Barbra Quirk, recovery speaker Jordan and guidance counselor Caleine Ajusma.

Class Dojo is a behavior management tool for the classroom.

Each student has a profile, complete with an avatar, to which teachers can assign positive and negative points throughout the day. Teachers can encourage students for skills or values such as participating in class, active listening, working hard, helping others and leadership. Parents can review their student’s profile, as well as communicate with the teacher. Teachers can also make class announcements and share pictures and stories about the day with parents via Class Dojo. Like Young, other teachers at the school are using Class Dojo to motivate and encourage students.

Young’s class earned more than 500 points to be able to have no shoes during class. They are well on their way to earn 1,000 points for pajama day.

Christmas Is Coming, And The Race Is On To Impress My Mother There’s a scary movement afoot perpetrating the myth that Thanksgiving comes before Christmas.

I suppose, in actuality, this is true.

But I also remember complaining to my husband when the children were small, “How come Mr. Claus gets the credit for all these toys when Mrs. Claus is the one who has been listening for clues, watching Saturday morning TV commercials, shopping for the best deal, standing in long lines, coughing up the money, wrapping everything...”

“Shhh!” he responded. “The children!”

The point is, listening for clues, watching commercials, shopping for the best deal, standing in lines, coughing up the money and wrapping everything takes

Deborah Welky is

The Sonic BOOMER a lot of time, even if you only have one child. Add in the multiples, and Christmas becomes a major time commitment.

Of course, Mrs. Claus is also expected to remember all family members on both sides of the family, decorate the house to TV standards and feed everyone.

I’m not complaining; I love it all. I’m

just saying it takes time. I can’t even imagine what mommies who work full-time do, except shop online at their desks while those of us who are trying to call them with important business matters listen to taped music while on hold. And, yes, I know daddies help out, and, in some cases, handle everything themselves. But if daddies mess up somewhere along the way, people are much more likely to say, “Well, after all, he’s a guy.” Whereas that time I remembered everything for Christmas dinner except the meat, well, people are still talking about that.

Older people are a little more forgiving. They remember their own foibles of Christmases past and cut us some slack.

My dad even tried to preemptively turn down his presents.

“Kids,” he told us. “There’s nothing your mother and I need or want. Save your money or spend it on our grandchildren.”

Then mom piped up shyly from the corner, “I want presents.”

Good ol’ mom, keeping Christmas alive for us all. I guess growing up with eight siblings and a huge pile of gifts underneath a fragrant tree had its impact — mostly when only about one-tenth of those gifts turned out to be for her.

In the past, mom has taken it easy on us — she requested things like puzzles and handkerchiefs and fancy soap, nothing too expensive or difficult to find. But this year, at age 89, she asked that each of her

children draw her a picture. She thought this was a simple request.

“You’re all so enormously talented and artistic and creative,” she said. “I just want four little pictures to hang on my wall.

Well, now the race is on. Whose picture is going to be the best picture? Whose frame job is going to be most perfect?

Who’s going to miss the Dec. 25 deadline? Who’s going to wrap their gift the prettiest? And, most importantly, after all is said and done, which picture will mom treasure the most? Oh, it’s fun related to a bunch of overly competitive, Type A personalities. Thank goodness I have dad’s gift all wrapped up.

Despite his protestations, it turns out he won’t turn down a good bottle of gin.

New ‘Orient Express’ Film Focuses On Poirot But Still Enjoyable

Murder on the Orient Express turned out to be a pretty good film, one that provides both charm and interesting philosophy. Based on the classic Agatha Christie novel, it is hardly the first time that the book has been turned into a movie. The version done 40 years ago won several Academy Awards. This one, although the basic plot is the same, focuses on different elements.

Hercule Poirot (Kenneth Branagh, who also directed) is the self-proclaimed “greatest detective in the world” in the 1930s. After solving a crime in Jerusalem, he hurries to England to solve another and takes the famed train, the Orient Express, from Istanbul to Calais. There is a group of really interesting people on the train, and one of them, Samuel Ratchett (Johnny Depp) is murdered.

Finding out “who done it” is the main theme of the rest of the film as Poirot inter-

‘I’ On CULTURE

By Leonard Wechsler views key characters: the man’s secretary (Josh Gad) and butler (Derek Jacobi), a rich widow (Michelle Pfeiffer), a doctor (Leslie Odom Jr.), a Russian princess (Judi Dench), a fanatic missionary nurse (Penélope Cruz) and a pretty governess (Daisy Ridley), among others. There is a major plot twist, which probably most of you know, but I won’t give it away.

The film 40 years ago had an all-star cast and used them well. It saddens me to see how Hollywood’s idea of stardom has

been diminished. Dr. Arbuthnot in the first was Sean Connery; here, it’s Leslie Odom Jr. The governess was Vanessa Redgrave; here, Daisy Ridley. The missionary was Ingrid Bergman (who won a rather undeserved Oscar for the role); here, Penélope Cruz. Richard Widmark was Ratchett; now, we have Johnny Depp; the secretary was Tony Perkins, now Josh Gad. That film used the celebrities’ past roles to flesh out the characters and was an intimate character study. That Poirot (Albert Finney) played up some of his character’s peculiarities but mostly played the straight man.

This film should’ve been called “Poirot, his Mustache, and a Murder on a Train.”

Director Branagh constantly focuses on Poirot, making his role far more important.

Several of the suspects seem to almost blend into the scenery. In the 1974 movie, the final scene is on the survivors chat-

ting and relieving tension. In this one, it is Poirot, all alone at a railway station, heading for another case.

The film moves more quickly than the previous one and spends more time out of the train as a way of avoiding the claustrophobia that could hamper the sense of being in a movie. There are more quick cuts but less time on deep acting.

The actors are all quite good, even if they’re overshadowed by Branagh. I particularly liked Michelle Pfeiffer, who did get a chance to do some real emoting, even if only briefly. She had a good monologue near the end that was exceptional.

But a few of the others had fairly brief scenes that limited what they could do.

Willem Dafoe, who is a really strong actor, was almost invisible. Unfortunately, the part of Dr. Arbuthnot was just not realistic, although Odom really worked hard to pull it together.

One of the problems in movies like this is that often the writers hold on to secrets that the audience discovers only when the case is finally solved. There is a bit too much of that in this movie. But I did enjoy the film far more than I thought I might. I recently saw the older movie and enjoyed it enormously. This film is different (although the basic plot remained the same, as I noted above) but also focused on the notion and meaning of justice. Eventually, Poirot faces a dilemma in terms of moral vs. legal justice.

There have not been many fun films that are actually more or less realistic these days, with our preoccupation with superheroes. This film is far quieter than last week’s Thor: Ragnarok but has its own pleasures. Watching good actors handling an interesting murder situation can provide a nice few hours. I liked it, and I think you will also.

AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY HONORS LOCAL VETERANS ON VETERANS DAY

American Legion Auxiliary members spent Veterans Day weekend passing out poppies and conversing with residents and veterans, giving thanks to local veterans for their service, as well as current military members for protecting freedom. The use of the poppy to honor veterans and remember those who died dates back to World War I. After the war, the poppy flower flourished in Europe, becoming a symbol of the sacrifices made by Allied service members and Americans. Learn more about the American Legion Auxiliary’s poppy program at www.alaforveterans.org/poppy. To learn more about American Legion Auxiliary Royal Palm Beach Post #367, contact Marge Herzog at (561) 818-9114 or marge@herzog.ms.

Doreen Bishop hands out poppies.

Bonnie Murphy raises money to support veterans.

like a pharmacy and allowing medical marijuana dispensaries to be anywhere pharmacies are,” Napoleone said. “I think we discussed that our residents voted overwhelmingly... to approve the use of medical marijuana.”

Gerwig empathized with what the use of medical marijuana can do for people who have serious illnesses, such as cancer, sharing personally sympathies she has had for her own loved ones, understanding a positive role medical marijuana can play in treating such patients.

“I don’t think that banning a dispensary in our community is doing that because it has been guaranteed by these dispensaries and the production of this product

that they would have a robust delivery system for this product,” Gerwig said. “If it is not allowed, even if the county changes that standard and decides not to allow it before any are constructed or approved, they still will have a robust delivery system. With that delivery system, anyone in Wellington would be able to get that product.”

Vice Mayor John McGovern believes that through staff’s rewriting of the code for all pharmacies in the village, allowing the medical marijuana facilities into the village is possible.

“We have gone to great lengths, I believe, through this ordinance to rewrite our zoning code in a way

that allows us to zone these like pharmacies to maintain the character and nature of our community and comply with the expressed will of our residents on this issue,” McGovern said.

Councilman Michael Drahos said he thought that McGovern’s explanation was a fair viewpoint, but he felt differently about the way votes for allowing medical marijuana in the state may differ from what the council is now presented with.

“I wonder, is that a mandate from our residents to make sure that we provide it in Wellington, or is it simply a conceptual mandate that, ‘Hey, we’re not generally opposed to the idea of medical

marijuana, we may just not want to have it in our own back yard.’

Certainly, that issue wouldn’t be unique to many others in the past that we’ve had to face, where people like the idea; they just don’t necessarily want it in their back yard,” Drahos said.

Basehart said that in Palm Beach County, there have been six municipalities that have banned medical marijuana dispensaries, and there have been three that have voted to allow it, including Boynton Beach, Lake Worth and unincorporated Palm Beach County.

Councilwoman Tanya Siskind looked at it from the standpoint of voters saying yes to medical marijuana.

“I think that the state regulations are extensive if you go through…

48 pages of regulations and requirements that need to be met. I feel comfortable with that,” Siskind said. “I do go back to the fact that our residents overwhelmingly voted for medical marijuana.”

According to village staff, since Wellington is almost built out, the only place that a medical marijuana facility is likely to go is along the State Road 7 corridor, or in the event an existing pharmacy went out of business.

Napoleone made a motion to pass the ordinance with the added rewritten zoning code for pharmacies. The motion passed 3-2 with Gerwig and Drahos opposed.

Board Member Marcia Andrews was positive and congratulatory.

For information about the Renaissance Charter School at Palms West, located at 12031 Southern Blvd., call (561) 214-6782 or visit www.palmswestcharter.org.

Jim Politis and Anthony Asci, specialists with the school district’s Career and Technical Education Department, gave a presentation on the state of career-oriented programs at village schools. Politis’s area of specialty is STEM, industrial education and TV production, while Asci’s area of expertise is business and technology.

Royal Palm Beach Elementary School currently has no programs, but Principal Tracy Gaugler informed the board they are about to add the elementary level’s equivalent to International Baccalaureate, called Primary Years Programme.

“Both the PYP and IB are very expensive costs on a school’s budget,” she said. “Cost is a major factor on assessing adding a program. We feel PYP is an excellent way to add to the K through grade 12 continuum.”

This sentiment was echoed by Royal Palm Beach High School Principal Jesus Armas, who has vigorously championed the new IB program at his school.

H.L. Johnson Elementary School offers the STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) program, while Cypress Trails Elementary School features the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) program.

Crestwood Middle School has a multimedia, music and communications program, as well as pre-engineering and pre-business/ information technology programs.

Royal Palm Beach High School has programs in HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), global business, International Baccalaureate, pre-med, the Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) and STEM. “Royal Palm Beach High School also has a very good information technology [curriculum], but it is not a formally recognized program,” Asci added.

In response to Board Member David Kendle’s desire to add as many programs and academies at schools within the village as possible, Armas believes there is a point of oversaturation regarding special programs. “We are at that point of oversaturation,” he said. “We need to strengthen the academy programs we already have, and be systematic about what programs to add in the future.”

Armas also pointed out that specialized programs and academies create huge challenges for administrators when it comes to master scheduling, which is the schedule for the entire school building.

Both Politis and Asci supported the notion of oversaturation at an individual school, along with duplication of programs at too many schools in a concentrated area. They also noted that individual schools are in competition for corporate and university partnerships, equipment and monetary donations, so there is not a lot of information-sharing among schools.

The application deadlines for students to apply to academies and specialized programs within the School District of Palm Beach County are quickly approaching.

Andrews emphasized the need of the public school districts’ lobby in the state capital to persuade legislators to increase funding.

She also added that the recently enacted sales surtax is helping with a lot of deferred maintenance at school buildings throughout the district.

Board Chair Kevin Abel announced the deadline and decision dates for the Education Advisory Board’s scholarship recipients.

The deadline for applications to be received by hand delivery or postmark is Friday, Feb. 16, 2018.

The board will meet to select and then schedule interviews with the finalists on Saturday, April 21, 2018.

first election campaign cycle.

“I love the time I’ve had on the council already, and we’re working very well together. I really enjoy working with my fellow council members and the mayor,” Siskind said. “We work well together. We all have Wellington’s best interests at heart. Even though we don’t always agree, when we don’t, we disagree respectfully, and we try to maintain a professional image for Wellington and represent it in the best possible manner. I think we can accomplish great things together.”

Siskind focused on public service as a key factor for her seeking a full four-year term in Seat 2.

“Anybody who knows me knows I am all about public service,” Siskind said. “I’m in the community. I’m connected with the community. I want to see great things happen. Those are the things and the qualities that, I think, we would like to see on the council.

Those are the qualities that I think this council possesses.”

During Siskind’s time on the council, she said that the body has strengthened the relationships and

involvement of its different boards and committees in the village.

“We wanted to really reach out to our boards and committees and activate them more, because we did have a lot of people come out for the appointment,” Siskind said. “We filled a lot of positions that way, so we have a lot of people in this community who really care. So, working with them has been a real pleasure as well, and we’re getting a lot done with the education committee, the seniors committee, the equestrian committee. We’ve activated them more and included them more, and that has made a difference for this council.”

This year, Siskind and the council worked together closely with the Wellington Education Committee to provide the village’s public schools money through the annual Keely Spinelli grant program.

“For me, personally, and I think the council would agree, the Keely Spinelli grant is one of our proudest moments,” Siskind said.

“I think we are one of the only municipalities that does that. But

the Keely Spinelli grant is one that’s special to us because Keely Spinelli was the principal at Binks Forest Elementary School, and there is history there. Also, we all agree that we need to invest in our schools and help them any way we can.”

Siskind looks to continue as a council member with the interest of everyone in the community, giving her the ability to expand on projects already underway.

“I’ve only been on a short time, so I’d really like the opportunity to continue to serve,” Siskind said.

“I have a lot of great ideas that are just taking off, and I’d like to see them come to fruition.”

Phelps is still in the process of considering whether to enter into the election, and has not yet decided which of the incumbents he would challenge. He has not filed paperwork with the village, but he shared his goals for running with the Town-Crier.

“As long as I have been in Wellington, which has been as a resident since 1988, and a seasonal resident prior to that,” Phelps said, “I think, to my knowledge, there

has never been a knowledgeable equestrian in an elected position.

I think that this community has revolved in a lot of ways around the equestrian world, from the development of Palm Beach Polo, to now, what it is today.”

Phelps believes he brings a lifetime of knowledge as an equestrian that the council would find to be an asset it doesn’t currently rely on.

“I don’t ride, show and compete anymore, and don’t have an active livelihood that comes from the equestrian community,” Phelps said. “I’m fortunate that I have my own resources, and I don’t need to rely on other financial assistance.”

Phelps acknowledged the past work that the council has put forward to meld the diversity in Wellington into one community, satisfying equestrian wants and needs with the entire community’s best interest in mind as well.

“I think that the village has done cartwheels in order to create harmony in the village, particularly where equestrians are concerned,” Phelps said. “We have the Equestrian Preserve and that vote, and

the different groups they have put together to advise the council on the pros and cons of what goes on in this community, and I think that, unfortunately, there has been nobody in an elected position that has the depth of knowledge in the equestrian community, so they’ve been getting a lot of different information from different people.”

Still in the process of deciding whether he will run in the upcoming election, Phelps believes that he would add a key element currently missing in village government.

“I think what I would be looking forward to is a harmonious relationship between the council and the community, and specifically the equestrian community,” Phelps said. “I think we’ve got to find a balance between the non-equestrian residents and the equestrian residents that is harmonious for all concerned and in the best interest of the village.”

Anyone interested in running for election should contact Wellington Village Clerk Chevelle Nubin at (561) 791-4118 for further information.

McGovern has already held an event to kick off his campaign.

“I want to remain on the council because I want to make sure that Wellington remains the hallmark place for families, both mine and my neighbors and everyone else in Wellington, not only for the 20 years since incorporation, but for the next 20 years,” McGovern said. “I think long-term planning, goal-setting within a budget is what we need to do. I think it’s what we are doing. I think it’s what we continue to do. It’s what inspires me every day.”

Seat 2 incumbent Siskind was appointed to the council in 2016 to fill the vacancy left when Councilwoman Anne Gerwig was elected mayor. This is Siskind’s

Ranch Classes Growing In Popularity At Posse Show

The Palm Beach County Mounted Posse show is in its 60th year and still going strong, mostly because of the relaxed family atmosphere and the way the class lists are tweaked and updated. Some of their newer offerings include dressage and ranch classes, both offered on Saturdays of the two-day shows.

Ranch classes, which are in their second year, include trail, pleasure, reining, and conformation. Posse Pleasure Director Vicki Wallace-Moore is in charge of them, along with the whole pleasure show on Sunday.

“Ranch classes differ from regular trail classes in the types of obstacles,” Vicki explained. “The ranch classes try to duplicate things a rider might be expected to do or encounter on a working ranch. So, for example, you may have to rope a steer head stuck in bales of hay or shavings, and step over or through cut tree branches rather than poles, to mimic natural terrain. Riders wear plain clothes, not chaps and fancy show gear, and the saddles and tack are plain, rather than blinged out with silver.”

Vicki said that this is another plus, because fancy show clothes and tack can be a bit too much for some people’s pocketbooks.

Vicki’s job description includes such tasks as hiring judges and facilitating their needs, such as hotel rooms and other accommodations, if needed. “We try to stay with local

Tales From The Trails

By Ellen Rosenberg judges,” she said. “We listen to riders’ feedback and invite back judges who are not only fair and knowledgeable, but ones who take the time to give our competitors feedback on how they can improve. That’s a big part of being a helpful and successful schooling show. It takes a little extra time, but it’s worth it.”

She said the most difficult part of her job is keeping everyone happy. She also fields any problems or complaints, which are happily few and far between. “Running the show is a lot of work, but I love it. Thank goodness I have my husband, Rick, to help out,” Vicki said, noting that Rick sets up the trail obstacles.

Vicki has been a part of the Posse family for her entire life. Her father, Roy Wallace, joined the board when they moved to South Florida in the later 1970s. Her daughter Chelsea Chilcutt serves as vice president.

“I grew up showing at Posse,” Vicki said.

“I did everything — English, western, barrels. I love the family atmosphere. It’s a great place for kids to get their feet wet and move up; a stepping stone. What I really like is that anyone and everyone can be successful here,

Wellington’s Panther Ridge Honored As Top-Rated Nonprofit

The Panther Ridge Conservation Center in Wellington has been honored with a prestigious Top-Rated Award by GreatNonprofits, the leading provider of user reviews about nonprofit organizations.

“This top rating is exciting to us and reinforces what we hear from visitors year-round,” said Judy Berens, executive director of the nonprofit big-cat sanctuary. “We are proud of our ratings here and our Trip Advisor 5-star ranking as well.”

Founded in 1999, Panther Ridge

is a nonprofit conservation center in Wellington that provides a home, haven and hope for some of the world’s most majestic and endangered big cats. The Top-Rated Nonprofit award was based on the large number of positive reviews that Panther Ridge received — reviews written by volunteers, donors and clients.

People posted their personal experience with the nonprofit.

While the Top-Rated Awards run through the end of October, Panther Ridge was part of the inaugural

group to qualify for the year. In addition, Pather Ridge has been added to the GreatNonprofits #GivingTuesday Guide — an interactive guide to top nonprofits. Look for it during the holiday season.

Holiday donations as tributes to

friends, family members and others held in esteem are ways to take the “stuff” out of gift-giving and support worthy charities like Panther Ridge.

To learn how to donate, visit www. pantherridge.org/donate/honor-memorial-donations.

“Savvy donors want to see the impact of their donations more than ever,” said Perla Ni, CEO of GreatNonprofits, “People with direct experience with Panther Ridge have voted that the organization is making a real difference.”

Wycliffe To Launch Major Renovation

Eighty-one percent of the voting membership at the Wycliffe Golf & Country Club recently approved a comprehensive $18.1 million renovation plan scheduled to begin in the spring of 2018.

The goal achieved was to develop a master plan that balances the needs of the community with that of the next generation of members. New amenities and upgraded facilities include a new signature restaurant, a lobby bar and lounge, a refurbished banquet room, a complete spa and fitness center renovation, and an outdoor pool pavilion with additional soft seating and deck space.

“Research has shown us that the next generation of club members is somewhat different from those who purchased this type of lifestyle 10 to 20 years ago and are looking for more resort-style amenities with an emphasis on fitness and well-being,”

said Doug Lipman, president of the club’s board of directors. “Our current membership understands that we need new members to continue our lifestyle. In order to do that, we need to appeal to the changing demographics of members who are in the position to buy into country club living. Achieving that goal is our vision for this project.”

The process assimilated several years of member feedback and surveys and more than 30 member information sessions. “The overwhelming response from our members supporting this renovation was astounding,” said Rob Martin, chief operating officer and general manager of the Wycliffe Golf & Country Club. “Our team is enthusiastic about the upgraded amenities, and we know this renovation will put us in a competitive position to attract new members and enhance the

lifestyle of our current population.”

The overall project will begin in the spring of 2018 with completion in the fall of 2019. “When coming up with this plan, it was important for us to factor in minimal disruption of member activities and services throughout the renovation so our members can maintain the social life they have come to know and love at Wycliffe,” Martin said.

Design partners include Glidden Spina + Partners, Image Design, WGI and CBRE. “This improvement plan is a win-win for everyone,” Lippman said. “With financing at historical lows, we have been able to provide a financing plan for our members that has little to no impact on current payments.”

Broncos Shut Out The Hawks To Advance In Playoffs

By Gene Nardi Town-Crier Staff Report Palm Beach Central High School hosted District 9-8A rival Seminole Ridge High School and shut out the Hawks 32-0 on Friday, Nov. 10, to move on to the second round of the playoffs.

The game was initially delayed by rain. While the lightning departed, the rain remained throughout the first quarter to make matters difficult for both teams to perform on the damp field.

The Hawks managed to put to-

gether a decent drive, landing them at the Bronco 40-yard line, but a fumble negated the drive, turning possession over to Palm Beach Central. Both teams struggled offensively and did not register a score in the first quarter.

The second quarter opened with both teams moving the ball, but neither could make it beyond midfield.

The Broncos (8-2, 4-0) struck first midway through the second quarter when quarterback Nick Atkins hit running back C.J. Stewart on a quick out pass that turned into 72-yard

touchdown run. The point-after attempt failed, but the Broncos took a second quarter lead 6-0.

Palm Beach Central added to the lead with less than a minute left to play in the first half. Atkins connected with Fornoris Roberts from 10 yards out. The Broncos had difficulty converting their point-after attempts early on, and took a 12-0 lead into the locker room, but it wasn’t before each defense traded interceptions to close out the half.

The second half seemed it would play out a bit differently. Seminole

Ridge stopped the Broncos on the opening possession. The Hawks’ offense found some chemistry and drove to the Palm Beach Central 38-yard line but failed to convert on a fourth down attempt.

With 2:56 left in the third quarter, Atkins linked up with Michael Moreland on a 12-yard touchdown pass in the end zone to put the Broncos up 18-0.

giving the Broncos possession on the Hawk 22-yard line. Three plays later, Atkins ran a keeper up the middle from 6 yards out to lift the Broncos to a 24-0 advantage.

With the Hawks desperate to make something happen, they went to the air, but the Bronco defense did not falter. Jesus Santiago picked off the Hawks, giving Palm Beach Central prime field position to put the game out of reach late in the fourth quarter. Atkins hooked up with tight end Tyler Baker for the game’s final See BRONCOS, page 29

Spectators Flock To Keiser’s Public Football Scrimmage

By Gene Nardi Town-Crier Staff Report Last Saturday afternoon, the Keiser University football program held its first official public scrimmage, and drew spectators from all over South Florida to see the action.

Seakhawks head coach Doug Socha and his staff welcomed more than recruits earlier in the day for a presentation about the new program and information about the university.

“It was a great turnout. We promoted it. We said to the kids, bring

your family members out here,” Socha said. “They deserved it. It was really what we thought it would be; there was barbecue, there were cheerleaders, and a pretty decent product of kids trying to run around and play hard for Keiser University.”

The day’s event far exceeded the staff’s expectations on attendance.

“We said we want 50 to 60 guys, and we beat that,” Socha said. “Eighty guys got to see, there’s really a football team out here, they’re going to build a facility, they’re going to build

a stadium. It just opens their eyes.”

The flagship campus has plans for both of those for the new program, which will not play its first season until fall 2018, so current football operations take place on the practice field. The scrimmage saw families, fans and recruits occupy the sidelines, watching the players showcase their skills and playing under competitive situations. High school coaches were also on hand to observe the festivities and introduce potential recruits to the Keiser program.

“We’ve had many practices with the offense versus defense, and we try to make it as competitive as we can,” Socha said. “They came to execute and they played hard, and they had an audience.”

Ninety percent of the roster is made up of Palm Beach County athletes, many from the western communities. Sage Chen-Young, a Seahawks defensive back and Wellington High School alum, dressed out, after recovering from an injury earlier in the year, and saw plenty of action.

Acreage residents Lisette Arias and her husband, John, also enjoy showing in Posse’s trail classes. “It’s fun and challenging,” Lisette said.

Sometimes she has problems with gates because they can be low and Zippo and Me, her gelding, is fairly tall. “We love coming to Posse.

It’s close to home, a lot of fun, and we get to support our local club,” Lisette said.

“More people should try the trail classes,” John added. “It doesn’t take long to teach your horse how to do everything, and working quietly and patiently really pays off. Horses are smart. They respond to TLC and pick this stuff up easily. It also comes

in handy in real-world situations.”

The classes run smoothly and quickly, and everyone enjoys working through the courses and encouraging their fellow competitors. It all adds up to an enjoyable afternoon at a show, which is Vicki’s goal.

Vicki said the part of her job she likes most is watching the faces of the kids when they win a class.

“They’re just thrilled to ride out with that ribbon,” she said.

Next year’s shows start up again in February and run through November, with a July through August break. Vicki hopes new people will come out to show or school or just watch. There’s something for everyone at Posse. For more information, visit www.pbcposse.com or www. facebook.com/pbcposse.

Atkins completed 12 of 21 passes for 307 yards and four touchdowns, and rushed for a score. Stewart rushed 17 times for 102 yards and is credited with one touchdown reception. K.J.
