Kitten Season
Arts, dining scene has transformed Northwood Village
Rich Anderson
Kitten season has arrived – Don’t touch!
Northwood Village, tucked between 23rd and 25th streets, is West Palm Beach’s oldest historic neighborhood and has all the charm of a small-town main street.

Shakespeare festival returns to Carlin Park
Wormus commuted intermittently to the company’s West Palm Beach branch. On that fateful night, he was standing on the top-floor balcony of the SMArtX offices at 101 Clematis St., overlooking Centennial Park and the evening view across the Intracoastal. “It was Clematis by Fright,” he recalls, “the Halloween celebration. There was a band and kids were trick-or-treating and I thought, ‘Music. Free entertainment. It doesn’t get any better than this.’” A year later, he’d broken up with Germany and brought his wife Stella, and daughters Anne and Mia, here. “Now, when people ask me
Stop! Don’t touch those kittens … yet! Kitten season has begun and that means thousands of newborn kittens are starting to be born all around us. It is very important to know what to do – and what not to do – if you discover newborn kittens in your yard, in your neighborhood or around your office. First, when you see newborn kittens, resist the urge to take them to a shelter. Kittens less than four weeks old have little chance of survival if separated from their mothers and taken to a shelter. In fact, cats and kittens are the most at-risk animals for euthanasia in Palm Beach County. Most discoveries of newborn kittens don’t call for human assistance. No intervention is generally best until kittens can eat on their own. Before scooping them up, please remember the phrase “mother knows best.” The kitten’s best chance for survival is staying with mom. Newborn kittens need a mother’s care and antibodies from her milk. The mother will also train her kittens as only a mother can. Quietly observe from a distance to see if mother is present. She’ll need to leave her litter for short periods of time in order to find food for herself. If the kittens are clean and sleeping in a heap, mom’s most likely out finding food. Never interfere with the kittens or their space as long as the mother is around. Do not touch them. Do not create a shelter. Do not try to keep them warm. Do not feed them. This may stress her and she may abandon her family. However, you can provide food and water. Place containers far enough away from the

MAN ABOUT TOWN
In 2009, Aaron Wormus began posting photos of West Palm’s downtown happenings on Twitter. He now has 13,600 followers. By RON HAYES Palms West Monthly
WEST PALM BEACH — Aaron Wormus is a little hard to define. Is he a blogger? A photographer? A citizen journalist? Is he, as some say, the city’s biggest cheerleader? Or is he – as he’s known locally – just @aGuyonClematis? The man who started the feisty “Engage West Palm Beach” Facebook page and the husband and father who writes a monthly “Scene From West Palm” column for this paper? Call him what you want, but don’t call Aaron Wormus fickle. Before he gave his heart to West Palm Beach about 12 years ago, Wormus had lived in Finland and Argentina, India, Pakistan, Sweden and Ukraine.
He met his wife in Hungary and wooed her in Switzerland. “My parents were missionaries,” he explained one evening recently, relaxing in the courtyard at Subculture Coffee on Clematis Street, his favorite hangout. Born to a Finnish mother and American father in Oulu, Finland, 40 years ago, Wormus followed his parents on their search for souls. “I was home-schooled except for a couple of stints in real schools,” he said. “I’ve come to terms with it, but I never really grew up anywhere.” And then, one evening in October 2006, West Palm Beach seduced him. Living in Frankfurt, Germany, and working for SMArtX, a financial technology company,

In Brief
Lion Country Safari to begin breeding lions in expanded habitat
Lion Country Safari’s expansion of its lion habitat is currently underway with the goal of accommodating a conservation and breeding program for a new pride of lions. When complete in mid-July, there will be multiple lion viewing areas. The project will pave the way for young, genetically valuable lions to form the core of a breeding pride at the park. This new pride consists of three females and two males. The park’s aim is to contribute to lion conservation and AZA’s African Lion Species Survival Plan, which allows zoos to care for endangered animals whose reproduction helps ensure survival of the species.

Dozens of supporters recently helped Holy Ground Palm Beach County celebrate the opening of its new apartments for young homeless mothers. The newly-renovated Stockard Family Campus, located on Broadway Avenue in West Palm Beach, will be home to young mothers and their children who were previously homeless. The building also boasts a community space and an area for counseling as well as room for classes. “This is truly a dream come true, and we couldn’t have done it without the extensive community support and hard work of those who believed in our vision,” said Donna McLoughlin, board president of Holy Ground Palm Beach County. Statistics from the Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County indicate teen mothers are more likely to live in poverty, and less than half of all teen moms will graduate high school. Daughters born to teen moms are more likely to become teen mothers themselves, while a son is twice as likely to serve time in prison. Holy Ground helps break the cycle of poverty for the young women who are willing to make positive changes in their lives. The organization offers a safe place to live, a mentor, counseling and classes covering vocational skills, life lessons and parenting. Many of the young ladies in the program are enrolled in college or vocational programs. For more information or to contribute to the organization’s efforts, call Holy Ground PBC’s office at 355-5040 or go online to holygroundpbc.org.

SCENE FROM WEST PALM by Aaron Wormus | awormus@palmswestmonthly.com
Arts, dining scene has transformed Northwood Village When was the last time you walked through Northwood Village? This amazing little part of town, tucked between 23rd and 25th streets, is West Palm Beach’s oldest historic neighborhood and has all the charm of a small-town main street. The way Northwood Village looks today reminds me of what I imagine Clematis Street looked like in its very first years. Rows of small buildings built by owners looking to find their fortune during the Florida boom era of the 1920s. By the end of that decade of incredible growth, Clematis Street had changed the skyline of West Palm Beach while Northwood Village remained frozen in time. By the 1970s the street was mostly shuttered and abandoned and so it remained until 2005 when the City of West Palm Beach started work on bringing back and injecting new life into this historic street. Agora Mediterranean Kitchen, at N. Dixie and 24th St., is one of the area’s many success stories. Formerly a Turkish market, the space was converted into a restaurant that’s now heralded by Trip Advisor as the No. 1 restaurant in West Palm Beach. “When we started we changed everything – the only thing that’s left is the four walls,” says owner Semih Arif Ozdemir as he gives me the grand tour.
Photo provided by Agora Mediterranean Kitchen
Shown is a sampling of offerings from the menu of Agora Mediterranean Kitchen, currently rated the No. 1 restaurant in West Palm Beach by Trip Advisor and representative of the dining, arts and shopping revival taking place in Northwood Village.
“I missed my mom’s cooking, so I brought her here and she trained all the staff and created a menu with all her homecooked dishes,” he adds. “Turkey is in the center of all the continents, split between Europe and Asia, with Africa right below. I collected art from each continent and keep it here in the restaurant. Everyone who comes here finds something that reminds them of their home.” The quirky Bohemian feel starts at Agora and works its way through the 400 and 500 blocks. The initial revitalization was fueled by the city and Community Redevelopment Agency who, over the years, upgraded the streets, planted
new trees and provided grants for facade improvements and small businesses. Restaurants were the first to establish themselves. Cafe Centro opened in 2006 and quickly became a popular dining place. Soon, art galleries, consignment stores and boutiques took advantage of the renewed interest and investment in the area. Anchoring the west end of Northwood Road is Lot 23, an artist-in-residence program where you can find many local artists such as Craig Mcinnis, Steve Brose, Mayling Pao and Anthony Burks teaching and creating art in the studio. Across the street you’ll find Pétanque Kitchen & Bar. After
closing Le Rendez-Vous on Datura Street in downtown, the Parisian brothers Olivier and Edouard Delrieu moved to the 500 block of Northwood Road. At Pétanque you can sit inside or on the large back patio, enjoy food from the gastropubstyle menu and listen to live music on most nights. If you’re planning to visit the area, take advantage of the many events that are put on throughout the month. ArtWalk is held the second Saturday of the month and Food Truck RollIn is on the third Wednesday. Art Night Out is the area’s flagship event and takes place the last Friday of the month. You’ll find music and street art,
and each of the stores open their doors to the hundreds of people milling through the area enjoying the evening. Art lovers, make sure to catch an Open Studio Tour which takes place once a year during Art Night Out. Jump on a trolley and visit a dozen art studios in the neighborhood, ranging from warehouse-style galleries to beautiful artist lofts and creative spaces. It really is a terrific time. Back at Agora Mediterranean Kitchen, Semih talks about the vibe of Northwood Village. “The restaurants here are all friendly,” he says. “Hutton, Table 427, Malakor Thai, Cafe Centro, it’s like a big family. If I close early, I’ll go to one of their restaurants, and if they close early they’ll come to mine.” Semih adds, “I love that my friends come and visit me. How often do you visit your lawyer or mechanic? When you cook food everyone comes to see you.” Aaron Wormus, the “guy” behind West Palm Beach’s popular aGuyonClematis Twitter account and blog, reports on news and happenings in and around West Palm Beach.

Through social media, Wormus encourages local engagement WORMUS / FROM PAGE 1
where I’m from, I say West Palm Beach.” In 2009, Wormus began snapping photos on his mobile phone of the downtown area and posting them to Twitter as @aGuyonClematis. A new restaurant opening here, a festival there. He wouldn’t win a Pulitzer, but he was chronicling life on Clematis Street just for fun. By 2011, @aGuyonClematis had 1,900 followers. Today it has 13,600. And then came Engage West Palm Beach on Facebook, a group page for “residents who want to work together to make West Palm Beach a better place!” Rule No. 1 is: “Be nice, we’re all neighbors.” Rule No. 2: “See #1.” Today, with 5,447 members at last count, making them all obey the rules has become difficult. Some members post pictures of the homeless asleep on sidewalk benches and announce they’re greatly offended. Others are greatly offended by the pictures. Some want to praise a favorite politician whom oth-
ers dislike. Some find important issues petty. Others find petty issues important. For his part, Wormus tries to steer clear of controversy. “I’m a positive person,” he says. “I don’t focus on the negative. If I have a bad time in a restaurant, I tell the manager, but I’m not going to post it on the internet.” But he doesn’t shy away from the negative, either. “We clearly have a problem with crime in the city that’s not being addressed,” he says, and while aGuyonClematis doesn’t endorse candidates, Wormus makes no secret of having supported Mayor Jeri Muoio – ”During her campaign, she was the only candidate on Twitter” – and former Commissioner Shannon Materio. Why, he wonders aloud, do most of the streets in the city’s white neighborhoods have names, while those in the northwest, historically black section are numbered? He doesn’t answer his own question. But he’s noticed. City booster or sly gadfly, Wormus is known in the corri-
dors of power. “I like him,” says District 3 Commissioner Paula Ryan, the commission’s current president. “He’s a genuinely nice, caring guy who’s engaged with the city and does what he can to promote all the good that goes on.” At the end of last August, when the city’s Summer In Paradise promotional campaign ended and 19 picnic tables painted with fairytale figures were auctioned off for charity, Wormus created a crowdfunding campaign that raised enough money to purchase seven of the “Aesop’s Tables.” Wormus places them around town throughout the year, including at the waterfront and Howard Park. This summer, he’s moved them back to Centennial Park beside the current “Fairy Tale Houses” project. That’s the Guy On Clematis who’s easy to like. About Engage West Palm Beach, Ryan is less enthusiastic. “It’s too one-sided,” she says. “People just go out there and scream and find people who scream like they do and have a lovefest. They don’t
necessarily always have the facts, and it’s not necessarily the place to get the facts. Engage West Palm Beach needs more engagement.” Wormus insists he has no interest in running for office himself, and he isn’t looking to make money off his growing notoriety. “I know controversy sells,” he says. “People tell me, ‘You should be making money off your blog. With Trump here you’re in the perfect position to make money.’ But that’s not the sort of thing that interests me.” He laughs. “I do have a Google ad on there that makes me about 37 cents a week. But for me, it’s a fun hobby that people seem to really enjoy.” And so most mornings he parks in the West Palm Beach Police garage and walks the length of Clematis Street to his office overlooking the park, mobile phone ready. Workmen are putting in pavers on the access road beside the railroad tracks? Snap! The streetscape project in the 300 block going strong? Snap! Along the way, acquaintanc-
es say hello or stop to chat. “It’s fascinating, the people you get to know,” he says. “If you pass people every single day, you’re going to see the same people and eventually you’ll talk to them.” AGuyonClematis is fast becoming The Guy on Clematis. But is he a blogger, a photographer, a local gadfly? “I might be a photojournalist, if I had to put a label on it,” Wormus decides, and then hesitates. “But it’s just on my phone. It’s not like I carry any heavy gear around.” Since 2014, he’s been writing a monthly “Scene From West Palm” column for Palms West Monthly, which gives him a special kind of satisfaction he can’t get from either his blog posts or Facebook page. “I really have free reign to write about anything I want,” he says. “And it’s really fun to have something in the paper that you can really hold in your hand. “Look, I’m a real …” Wormus caught himself. “Writer,” he said, and grinned. “I almost said ‘journalist’ there.”

nest so you won’t disturb mom and kittens, or draw predators (raccoons) to the area. Keep dogs and children far away. When the kittens are eating on their own, this is the time to act. If mom is friendly and can be handled easily, it’s best to take her and the kittens indoors until they are old enough to be spayed or neutered (so they can’t have babies themselves)

and then adopted into new homes. The mother should be spayed (to prevent future kittens) and placed in an adoptive home, or returned to her territory (based on available shelter space, temperament and neighbor sentiment). If mom isn’t friendly, she needs to be trapped and spayed, but not now. Contact us and together we’ll make a plan for trapping mom and babies. Once kittens eat on their own
they can be safely separated from mom. You can begin the socialization process in your home or find someone to adopt them. The mother can then be trapped, spayed, vaccinated and returned to her outdoor home. Got cats? Learn more at PeggyAdams.org/found-kittensresources or call (561) 686-3663.

THE VILLAGE IDIOT by Jim Mullen
Alexa accused of spying on users, so what’s the big deal? You’ve already heard the recent story: Amazon’s voiceactivated Echo device secretly recorded a couple’s private conversations and then sent recordings to a random person. That’s the short version, and it has several things wrong with it. First, of course Alexa is listening to you. How would it hear the wake-up word “Alexa” if it didn’t? It also records your every request – not to spy on you, but to get better at understanding what you want it to do. If you say, “Alexa, put Shredded Wheat on my shopping list” once a month, then even if you slur your words one day, it will ask, “Did you want to add Shredded Wheat to your shopping list?” You can just imagine what would happen if your enemies got hold of that. Before we get to the invasion of privacy, imagine if your health care provider or your bank had designed Alexa. You would say, “I want to speak to a representative,” and it would answer, “Yes, we will find you a cheesecake.” Compared to the average computer-voice interaction, asking Alexa to do something seems like magic. Even with my Southern accent, it only took a few days before it learned that when I say “Wendy” I don’t mean “windy,” and when I say “hair a cane,” I mean “hurricane.” I’ve also learned you can delete all those requests so no one can
ever find out that I asked Alexa to play “Summer Wind” by Frank Sinatra a few days ago. But if you really don’t want it to listen in the background, waiting for you to ask it something, there’s a well-marked button on top of the device with a picture of a microphone with a line through it. It’s the off button for the microphone. Very handy if you have someone named Alexa living in your house. The second thing wrong with that story: The device didn’t send the audio files to some random person, as widely reported. It sent them to someone in the family’s contact list. You can use Alexa as a phone, but only if 1. The other person you’re calling has an Echo
device, and 2. They are on your contact list, and 3. They accept your invitation. In short, you can set up Alexa so that all you have to do is say, “Call Mom,” and just start talking. Most modern cars let you set up your phone the same way. It’s not rocket science; it’s wonderfully convenient. Can unexpected things happen? Sure. Is it perfect? Well, that’s a good question. What product is perfect, exactly? Is your car perfect? Your washing machine? Has your flight ever been delayed? Ever been stuck in traffic? Ever had a problem with your computer? Your phone? Or do they all work perfectly? What is this fixation with being perfect? Does a month go

by that some product doesn’t get recalled? This month it was romaine lettuce, 4.5 million cars and Spam. And those are just the ones we heard about. But with millions of devices out there, this is the first time Alexa seems to have made a mistake. “That’s not a fair comparison,” you might say. “Alexa was invading their privacy.” Really? That device just walked into their home without them knowing it? Some spy planted it in the house without their knowledge? That’s kind of like complaining your refrigerator is keeping things cold without telling you. And what is privacy in this day and age? If you have a loyalty card from a grocery store, an airline or a credit card, they
already know more about you than the IRS. My gym membership form asked me for more personal details than my doctor. My electric company wants my Social Security number. Why? Are they afraid someone else will pay my bill? When I Googled a few news sites to collect the details on this story, the first thing that popped up was “This site uses cookies, blah, blah, blah.” They are collecting information about me trying to collect news about a story about an invasion of privacy, so they can sell it to people who want to know everything they can about me. If I say “no,” I can’t read the story. How meta can you get? Are devices like Alexa really the problem? As if Amazon doesn’t already know everything about me.

Health Matters Plantar fasciitis common cause of heel pain in runners
If you are a health professional who would like to submit an article to Health Matters, please send an e-mail to newsdesk@PalmsWestMonthly.com for details.
By KENNETH GERSZBERG, M.D. Special to Palms West Monthly
There are numerous reasons patients with foot & ankle issues come into our offices. The following questions are representative of the types of injuries and ailments we treat: Question 1: I recently twisted my ankle playing pickleball. I went to an urgent care center and they said it was only a sprain. What are my treatment options and when can I get back to playing the game? Answer: If your ankle feels 100 percent better, it should be safe to continue playing. Most of the time these injuries are treated with a supportive brace, physical therapy and activity modification for a period of time. For more severe injuries, a walking boot might be used. The time to return to pickleball depends on the severity of the injury, but typically between two to four weeks (usually with a brace during play). You know your body best and need to use good judgement when deciding whether to return to any activity. Remember, every body and every injury is different. If there is any lingering swelling, pain, stiffness and/or instability, an evaluation by an orthopedic foot and ankle specialist would likely be warranted. Question 2: I have suffered
An orthopedic foot and ankle specialist examines a patients’s foot for plantar fasciitis, one of the most common causes of heel pain. Initially, plantar fasciitis is treated with ice, stretches, anti-inflammatory medications and possibly using a night splint. If patients shows no progress after several months, doctors may recommend a more involved procedure or even surgery.
from arthritis for years and was recently diagnosed with arthritis in my feet. Why is it so uncommon to hear about arthritis in the feet and/or ankles? Answer: Arthritis is a very common diagnosis throughout the body and is usually most debilitating in the hips and knees. There tends to be less severe symptoms in the foot and ankle region. Some people, though, do have severe arthritis in this area. Most of the time it’s treated with anti-inflammatory medi-

cations, shoe modifications or braces. For arthritis that is resistant to conservative treatment options, surgery is sometimes warranted. If the pain has started to limit your daily activities, you should see an orthopedic foot and ankle specialist for further evaluation and treatment options. Question 3: I’m a runner and I recently increased my distance to 3-6 miles daily. I’ve been experiencing a lot of pain on the bottom of my foot and back of
my heel. Do you have any suggestions for how to treat this and should I see a doctor? Answer: The two main structures in this area of the foot that are commonly affected in runners are the Achilles tendon and plantar fascia. They are connected, and usually a lack of stretching and sudden increase in activity precipitates this painful condition. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, especially in runners. The longer this problem lingers,
the harder it becomes to treat. Plantar fasciitis is typically treated conservatively at first. I would recommend icing the area, rest, thoroughly stretching the foot and ankle, use antiinflammatory medications and occasionally a night splint. Another possible cause of this pain could be running with old sneakers! As a rule, your tennis shoes should be replaced every six months. If these options do not provide relief, make an appointment with an orthopedic foot and ankle specialist as soon as possible for a complete evaluation to nip this in the bud so you can continue to enjoy running pain free. Kenneth Gerszberg, M.D. completed extensive fellowship training in foot & ankle surgery at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. He is dedicated to giving each patient a personalized plan to treat their condition including both surgical and nonsurgical options.

Exhaust-ing ordeal: Woman gets head stuck in tailpipe
WINSTED, Minn. — A young woman endured an exhausting ordeal when she got her head stuck in a truck’s oversized tailpipe at a Minnesota music festival. Firefighters used a power saw to free the woman from her predicament at the Winstock Music Festival in Winsted, about 40 miles west of Minneapolis. Video of the rescue was posted on Facebook. KARE-TV reports that it’s unknown how she ended up with her head in the tailpipe, but alcohol may have been a factor: The McLeod County Sheriff’s Office says she was cited for underage drinking and escorted out.
North Dakota mayor re-elected with all 3 of town’s votes
RUSO, N.D. — The man believed to be North Dakota’s oldest mayor has breezed to another term, winning unanimously in a vote that saw 100 percent turnout. Ruso Mayor Bruce Lorenz captured all three votes cast in the state’s smallest incorporated city, the Minot Daily News reported. The 86-year-old retired rural mail carrier estimates he’s been mayor for more than three decades. He said he forgot Tuesday, June 12 was election day until his daughter reminded him. “I’ll have to go down the street and see if I can find a cigar,” he quipped. Recent health issues have caused Lorenz to move into an assisted living facility in Minot, which may limit his duties as mayor. “My health went to pot this spring,” he said. “I can’t even walk anymore without a walker. Life gives us some strange roads. We’ll see what takes place.” Lorenz said he’ll still serve as mayor. He does have a plat-
form – he wants to get rural water service in the McLean County town. “We need rural water but it’s too expensive for just a couple of people,” he said. “Ruso is pretty small all right.”

Someone didn’t buy work gloves but left a ring inside
KINGWOOD TOWNSHIP, N.J. — A routine traffic stop reunited a New Jersey state trooper with the now-retired police officer who helped his mother deliver him as an infant. Trooper Michael Patterson was on patrol in early June when he pulled over Matthew Bailly for a tinted window violation in Kingwood Township. The two men talked and Bailly mentioned he used to be a police officer in Piscataway where Patterson grew up. Bailly was on duty in Piscataway 27 years ago when he was called to the home of Karen Patterson, who had gone into labor. He helped her deliver Michael Patterson. The trooper said, “My name is Michael Patterson sir. Thank you for delivering me.” The New Jersey State Police said that Bailly wasn’t ticketed. The trooper and his mom later met Bailly and his wife.
SUGAR GROVE, Ill. — An Illinois hardware store is looking for a man who apparently tried on a pair of snug work gloves and left a ring inside. Mark Driscoll, owner of Ace Hardware in Sugar Grove, Ill., says he found the ring when he went to buy a pair of gloves before a trip to Wisconsin. He tells the Aurora BeaconNews that it could be a wedding band, but he doesn’t want to give many details. He says the ring owner must provide a good description. Two women called on behalf of their husbands, but it’s not their ring. Driscoll says he hopes the mystery has a “happy ending.”
Foam rubber gold bars fool man who burglarized store
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Fake promotional gold bars apparently appeared so much like the real thing that someone broke into a western Michigan flooring shop to take them. WXMI-TV reports Old to Gold Hardwood Floors owner Rowdy Lapham arrived at work recently to find his store in Grand Rapids burglarized. Foam rubber gold bars featuring the company’s logo were strewn about. A rock was used to break through a window. The burglar was seen on surveillance video roaming through the shop. Employee Nick Butler tells WZZM-TV that the thief may have walked past the store window and saw the stack of bars and “thought, wow, someone forgot to put these gold bars away.” The squeezable bars are for stress relief. Butler says the

Message in a bottle washes ashore in Canada 18 years later
Woman reaches goal of doing a headstand in all 50 states
GLOUCESTER, Mass. — A message in a bottle that a woman tossed off the coast of Massachusetts has been found nearly two decades later in Nova Scotia. Eighty-year-old Rita Ganim tells the Gloucester Times she dropped the bottle into Ipswich Bay in August 2000 with a short message asking the person who found it to contact her. The bottle was all but forgotten until Ganim received a call from the Buffalo News saying someone found it. Dallas Goreham had been looking for sea glass in the Canadian province in mid-May when he came across the bottle. The 11-year-old’s mother tracked Ganim down through the newspaper and sent a photo of her son holding the message.
KETCHIKAN, Alaska — A 71-year-old woman has completed her mission of performing a headstand in all 50 states. The Ketchikan Daily News reports retiree Anne Bruinooge checked the last state off her list recently as she laid down a mat and did a headstand outside of the Alaska newspaper’s office. Bruinooge says she has been traveling around the country for the past decade, doing headstands in every state that she and her husband visit. Bruinooge says she isn’t sure if anyone else has ever attempted to do a headstand in each state. Bruinooge, who is an avid participant of yoga, says her motivation was simply “the fun of doing headstands.”
9-year-old raises $6,000 for sick brother by selling lemonade
GREENWOOD, S.C. — A 9-year-old South Carolina boy selling lemonade to help his sick baby brother raised nearly $6,000 in two hours. Andrew Emery wanted to help his parents pay for the medical bills for his little brother Dylan. The infant suffers from Krabbe disease, a rare and often lethal neurological condition. So in late May, Emery spent two hours at used truck dealership Southern Wheels in Greenwood, selling lemonade and #TeamDylan t-shirts. He raised $5,860 to be added to $1,300 raised at a benefit concert and $5,600 from a GoFundMe site for his brother, currently in a Pittsburgh hospital. Andrew told The Index-Journal of Greenwood that he wants to buy his baby brother a teddy bear along with paying his medical bills.

Aries (March 21 - April 20) You can do anything you want – for now. As the month unfolds there’ll be so much going on that before you know it you’ll be too busy to think about smelling the roses. Taurus (April 21 - May 21) Your practical side can make anything happen but consider your motives. As you get closer to making your final decision money should not be your main priority. Gemini (May 22 - June 21) You must separate yourself from problems that don’t belong to you. It keeps you from dealing with your own stuff and blocks your inner growth. Don’t be afraid people will leave if you disengage. Cancer (June 22 - July 23) You must separate yourself from problems that don’t belong to you. It keeps you from dealing with your own stuff and blocks your inner growth. Don’t be afraid people will leave if you disengage. Leo (July 24 - Aug. 23) When there’s this much conflict you can’t press your point. Everyone else has
their own perspective. Step back. People will start listening to you once you stop being so defensive. Virgo (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23) Doing what feels safe won’t work right now. You may feel uncertain but when your lessons involve learning to trust, certainty isn’t part of the program. The only thing you can trust is your intuition. Libra (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23) Using the past for a compass gets you into the same old thing. Who you were then isn’t who you are now. It’s time to be in the moment. Start basing your decisions on what’s in front of you. Things will change immeasurably if you do. Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) When you’re caught in the crossfire of other people’s issues it’s hard not to get involved. Taking sides could make things awkward. You could play mediator but it might be better to stay out of this and let them duke it out. Sagittarius (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21) With too much going on your head is spinning. The lesson right now
is discipline. Try to prioritize and do one thing at a time. And don’t forget to make yourself a priority. Nothing will work if you’re too burnt out to enjoy it. Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) Switching to De–Caf won’t work when you’re this fired up. There are so many opportunities you’re wondering how you got this lucky. I’d tell you to calm down but in your situation, anyone would be psyched about what’s going on. Aquarius (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) Be sensitive to people who aren’t grown up enough to see what their reactions create. You can’t be straight with them if they can’t handle it. In this situation a little reverse psychology will help you get what you want. Pisces (Feb. 20 - March 20) Don’t gloat over recent triumphs. Pride comes before a fall and when things go our way it’s always best to stay humble. We’re all living half an inch away from losing everything. Keep that in mind as you count your blessings.
