MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

PLEASE ALLOW ME TO

personally welcome you to Wellington and to our Chamber of Commerce. We are a boutique chamber comprised of the best of the best professionals doing business in Wellington.

2020 was a banner year for our chamber! We attracted more members than ever, sponsorships grew, committees expanded, and our events sold out in days! We had to change the way we hosted events, but we took this challenge head on, hosting the very first FLAVORS Mobile Trolley event showcasing our restaurant and hospitality industry partners and establishments. People loved this concept so much we decided to take Flavors 2021 on the road again!

WINTERFEST with Vanilla Ice is returning back to its original home on December 10 at the Wellington Amphitheater in partnership with the Village of Wellington.

Our 5k race is returning in the early spring for walkers and runners of all ages!

We made a promise this past year to be a CONNECTOR of Leaders and Influencers, a CATALYST for Business Growth and a CHAMPION for a Stronger Community. Our success comes from the hard work from our board of directors, staff and volunteers.

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

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

Wellington is an equestrian community and lays claim to outstanding equestrian programs, activities and events, and is known as the Winter Equestrian Capital, as well as the Polo Capital, of the World.

Our medical community is a thriving industry, and the Chamber boasts a

full spectrum of medical facilities and professionals as well as the most highly regarded award-winning hospitals and medical facilities.

Education is a top priority for families moving to Wellington, and our schools have a reputation for their high level of excellence and “A” ratings. In addition, our parks and recreation facilities are state-of-the-art, outstanding venues providing activities for all ages through numerous parks and sports programs. Even as we grow, we continue to cultivate a hometown atmosphere.

So whether you are coming to visit or to live, we at the Chamber offer our sincerest welcome. Feel free to stop in and say hello! We hope you enjoy this informative Guide to Wellington, and we encourage you to patronize our Chamber members when you shop or do business in Wellington. Please stop by or give us a call for additional information, or you can visit us at www.wellingtonchamber.com.

We care about the community and your business. We will promote your business to the very best of our expertise, and strive to maintain the integrity of the Wellington area now and for years to come.

Michela Green Executive Director Wellington Chamber of Commerce

MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT

GREETIN GS FROM THE

Wellington

Chamber of Commerce! I am honored to serve the Wellington Chamber of Commerce as a Board Member and its President. For more than 25 years, The Wellington Chamber has been a vital and instrumental component to our business community. Serving the business community has never been more important than now as we work together to navigate and persevere through these unprecedented times. We are very excited about the future of our community and the success of our local businesses. As always, our organization provides unmatched opportunities to align with old and new relationships and network with prospective customers, as well as a dynamic schedule of events!

The programs and events provided to our members offer extraordinary opportunities to enhance networks and relationships. As we look to the future, we continue our strategic planning for this quickly evolving business environment in order to offer our members more tools to be successful moving forward.

The last year has been like no other we have witnessed, and this Chamber went into high gear to

support its members and shine a light on them in the wake of troubling times. As President, it made me very proud to be part of an organization which was so supportive of local business, a true passion of mine. The Chamber proudly acted as a marketing arm for many businesses, which understandably needed assistance, and catered to those businesses, which were re-shaping themselves.

Through the use of social media, customized videos, business consultation, and events designed with health and safety as the priority, the Chamber showed its strength and innovation to assist and advocate for its membership—and it worked!

As an original Wellingtonian with businesses in this community, and someone who raised my family here, it is of the upmost importance to me that our already highquality and business-friendly community grows and excels!

Whether you are new to Wellington or a longtime resident, if you are ready to take advantage of all that the Chamber offers its members, we look forward to hearing from you.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and our Executive Director, Michela Green, thank you for helping strengthen our business community and promoting local business.

We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events!

ABOUT OUR CHAMBER

THE WELLIN GTON CHAMBER

of Commerce was founded in 1996, one year after the Village of Wellington itself. It was founded by a group of local business professionals. Our current president is Kevin Shapiro.

The Wellington Chamber was formed to focus on what makes Wellington unique from surrounding communities by emphasizing the differences, bringing a competitive advantage to Wellington merchants, and protecting those differences for all residents. In fact, it was a return to the idea that chambers of commerce best serve their communities when they are local and when they do not try to be all things to all people. It was also felt that local chambers must look to the betterment of their communities in all facets of community life and not just the business aspect of the communities. The following mission statement embodies these two thoughts: “The Wellington Chamber of Commerce is organized to advance the general welfare and prosperity of the Village of Wellington so that its residents and all areas of its business community shall prosper. All necessary means of promotion shall be provided, and particular attention and emphasis shall be given to the economic, civic, commercial, cultural, industrial, security and educational interests of the village.”

WELLINGTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

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

The many annual programs of the Chamber reflect a rich tradition of achievement of the goals within the mission statement. For many, the year actually starts in December with our biggest event of the year, Winterfest with Vanilla Ice! Historically, thousands of Palm Beach County residents and visitors alike have attended. Our 2020 event featured a “DRIVE-IN” concept! 2021 will be back LIVE IN PERSON at the Wellington Amphitheatre and Promenade!

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

Early Spring brings our 5K Run. Our 2021 Community 5K took place at Village Park with HUNDREDS of in-person and virtual racers.

In March each year, the Wellington Chamber recognizes and installs our incoming Board of Officers and Directors.

For the last 17 years, our FLAVORS OF WELLINGTON food and wine event has been held at our amazing Wellington venues, including the International Polo Club Palm Beach and the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center. In 2020, we shifted our event to a mobile platform utilizing trolleys to take our participants in smaller groups to the exhibitor locations! FPL presented the 17th-annual FLAVORS event in October, and exhibitors and attendees alike loved the new, innovative format! This concept was so well received that we once again took FLAVORS on the road in May 2021!

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

The Women of Wellington (WOW) was designed specifically for our local businesswomen to provide opportunities for women-to-women networking.

This committee of exceptional ladies has recently kicked off the “30 Women 30 Nights” philanthropic endeavor, which selects a different local nonprofit each month and works with it on special events and projects as well as to bring exposure to the organization.

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

PRESIDENT’S CIRCLE Jess R. Santamaria After completing his MBA from the Wharton Graduate Business School and working with IBM in Philadelphia, Jess Santamaria and family in 1974 decided to come to our Western Communities when Wellington, Royal Palm Beach, The Acreage and Loxahatchee Groves had a combined population of less than 4,000 residents.

Jess and his wife Victoria were a young couple with three very young children who needed normal services closer to home. A few years later, Jess started planning the first neighborhood commercial development at the northeast corner of Southern Boulevard and Royal Palm Beach Boulevard. In 1981, Jess brought the first supermarket, the first major drug store, the first medical center (doctors and dentist), the first bank, the first gasoline station, the first McDonalds, etc. Business was not easy, as Jess had to survive the three economic recessions from 1974 through 1993, and the most recent (2006-2011).

Together with the economic difficulties also came opportunities. Working 80 hours a week, Jess and his wife Victoria

have converted the above three projects into major successes: The Royal Inn now has 166 suites and rooms, Saratoga Pines and Lakes has 660 homes, and the “Original Wellington Mall” is very successful. Jess also has built more than 3,000 homes in Wellington, the Acreage, Loxahatchee and Royal Palm Beach and several other smaller commercial developments.

Jess has been heavily involved in many public and civic activities since his arrival in 1974, among them: Palm Beach County Commissioner (2006-2014); Palms West Hospital, Chairman of the Board of Trustees (1986-1992); Wellington Regional Medical Center Board of Governors (2002-present); Palms West Chamber of Commerce, President (2000-2001); My Brothers’/Sisters’ Keeper Scholarship Foundation (Founder); My Brothers’/Sisters’ Keeper Charitable Trust (Founder); Citizens for Open Government (Co-Founder); Crestwood Performing Arts League (Co-Founder); and Winterfest 2021 Venue Sponsor.

Today, after 46 years in our Western Communities, Jess continues all his business, civic and community activities together with his wife Victoria and eldest son Chris, who is an attorney.

BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY

WELLINGTON OFFERS

attractive opportunities for virtually all types of businesses, says Michela Green, Executive Director, Wellington Chamber of Commerce.

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

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

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

With nearly 300 members, the Wellington Chamber offers a year-round program of special events, business growth learning workshops and networking opportunities.

Many Wellington companies are leaders in the county’s dynamic aviation, equestrian, life sciences, medical and financial service industries. Other businesses cater to the needs of Wellington’s 65,000-plus residents, including retailers, restaurants and equestrian-based companies. Thanks to Wellington’s central location in the heart of Palm Beach County, area businesses enjoy easy access to South Florida’s major roadways, international airports and seaports.

Wellington real estate offers fabulous and diverse inventory choices as well as an A-rated school system, great public and semi-private golf courses and top-of-the-line/cutting-edge health care … all just minutes from downtown West Palm Beach, Palm Beach, Palm Beach International Airport and the best beaches in the state!

WELLINGTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY

Today, the Chamber is working closely with area leaders to enhance Wellington’s attractiveness to employers in the service, health care, retail, manufacturing and distribution sectors. The Wellington Chamber continues to promote sustainable economic development. The Chamber believes in bringing more jobs to the Village, which will reduce regional transportation costs as well as create additional revenue for city services, making Wellington a better place to live.

In addition, the Chamber is strengthening the hospitality sector by promoting the region’s unique equestrian resources as well as staging special events. Our equestrian and polo venues attract some of the world’s finest players as well as national and international personalities, celebrities and dignitaries.

AWARD-WINNING HEALTH CARE From Baptist Health South Florida to the Hospital for Special Surgery, and an outpatient location from the gold standard of pediatric care facilities, Joe DiMaggio Children’s Health, Wellington continues to be a preeminent destination to meet health care needs both common and exotic.

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

New residents should register their vehicle(s) and obtain a Florida license plate within 30 days of establishing legal residency, accepting employment or upon placement of a child in school.

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

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

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

Market value is typically what a property would sell for in an open and competitive market—what a property is worth to a willing buyer and willing seller. By Florida law, only sales transactions that occurred during the previous year can be used to establish values as of January 1 of the current year. For 2022 values we look at 2021 sales to estimate values for the 2021 tax roll. For example, if you sold your residence in 2021 for $150,000, that selling price would be used together with other comparable sales in our analysis of the market.

Residential property owners with an existing Homestead Exemption can transfer a portion of their tax savings to a new residence. You can apply for Portability when you apply for the standard Homestead Exemption on your new property. The deadline to apply for all new exemptions is March 1 of the qualifying year.

Owners of non-homesteaded proper-ties, such as second homes, may qualify for a 10 percent Exemption benefit on the market value.

HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION SERVICES Florida provides a standard $25,000 Homestead Exemption to residential property owners who qualify for the tax savings benefit. Every person who has legal title to a residential property in Florida and lives there permanently qualifies for the state’s standard $25,000 exemption.

NEWCOMER INFORMATION Robert Sadler Clark

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

TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX Household goods are not taxed in Florida. Tangible Personal Property is assessed annually on business property such as furniture, fixtures and equipment at fair market value. The first $25,000 in value is exempt from taxation. An initial Tangible Personal Property Return must be filed to claim this exemption. Failure to file will result in the loss of the exemption and assessment of penalties. The Return DOR-405 is available to download on the website, pbcgov.com/papa. Call Tangible Services at (561) 355-2896.

USE TAX Unless specifically exempt, merchandise purchased out of state is subject to tax when brought into Florida within six months of the purchase date. This “use tax,” as it is commonly called, is also assessed at the rate of 6 percent. Examples of such taxable purchases include purchases made by mail order or the Internet, furniture delivered from dealers located in another state, and computer equipment delivered by common carrier. Items purchased and used in another state for six months or longer are not subject to use tax when the items are later brought into Florida.

48

WELLINGTONCHAMBER.COM

No use tax is due if the out-of-state dealer charged sales tax of 6 percent or more. If the dealer charged less than 6 percent, you must pay the difference to equal 6 percent. For example, if the dealer charged 4 percent, you must pay the additional 2 percent to Florida.

Complete an Out-of-State Purchase Return (Form DR-15MO) to file and pay use tax. You can get this form from our website at dor.myflorida.com. If the tax owed is less than $1, you do not have to file.

OTHER TAXES AND FEES Florida does not impose personal income, inheritance, gift taxes or intangible personal property taxes.

However, there are other taxes and fees that, in certain counties or circumstances, Florida residents may be required to pay, such as: convention development tax, local option tourist tax, fuel taxes, communications services tax, gross receipts tax, lead-acid battery fee, new tire fee, motor vehicle fee (Lemon Law) or rental car surcharge.

LOOKING AT BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES IN FLORIDA? Most businesses are subject to sales and use tax, discretionary sales surtax, unemployment tax and corporate income tax. If your business is required to collect sales tax, you must register as a sales and use tax dealer before you begin conducting business in Florida.

The very best of restaurants, shopping, entertainment and recreation can be found right here!

Wellington’s local government works tirelessly to ensure that residents’ needs and challenges are acknowledged and addressed. As members of the community themselves, our government officials take the responsibility of effective and efficient governance of the Village quite seriously.

EDUCATION

Palm Beach State College

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

The School District of Palm Beach County (SDPBC) is the 10th-largest in the country and the fifth-largest school district in the state, with approximately 167,000 students enrolled (pre-K through 12th grade). SDPBC has been recognized in recent years as a high-performing, A–rated district, according to the Florida Department of Education.

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

Additionally, the Village Council has approved in the budget the Keely Spinelli Education Grant. The purpose of the Keely Spinelli Grant is to assist Bink’s Forest Elementary, Elbridge Gale Elementary, Emerald Cove Middle, Equestrian Trail Elementary, New Horizons Elementary, Palm Beach Central WELLINGTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

High, Panther Run Elementary, Polo Park Middle, Wellington Elementary, Wellington Landings Middle and Wellington High with funding for programs, tutors, incentives, instructional materials and/or equipment for students in reading and/or math.

The total annual budget for the grant program is $400,000. Each of the 11 public schools serving Wellington will be eligible for a maximum of $36,363 in annual funding. The Education Committee will review and approve all requests for funding prior to each school receiving grant funds. Allocated funds will be kept in a segregated account within each school. Any funds not encumbered

by December 31 may be utilized by the school for allowable expenses during the current school year. Schools with unencumbered funds must identify the proposed use of those funds prior to receiving current year funding. All funding must be approved by the Village Council prior to disbursement of funds.

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

The Education Committee also gathers input on issues that may affect children attending Wellington schools and reviews programs as requested by the Village Council. For more information on the Wellington Education Committee, please contact Paulette Edwards at 791-4796.

SUPPORTING YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM

DURING VIRAL SEASONS

By Dr. Saulis Banionis Florida Interventional Pain Management, LLC

WITH THE VIRAL

illness season upon us, particularly COVID-19, many people are wondering what they can do to help to boost their immune system.

People with risk factors including diabetes, obesity, respiratory issues, old age and immunocompromised states are at increased risk of contracting the COVID-19 infection, as well as multiple other viral illnesses. These are many of the same populations that have always been susceptible to viral illnesses, particularly the influenza virus, but as it relates to COVID-19, healthy children are much less likely to suffer severe illness and complications from it. Infection with the COVID-19 virus can range from a mild respiratory illness to severe lung injury, multiple organ system damage, and death.

Many studies are ongoing to help support patient care, and doctors are a doing much better job in helping patients to recover from this illness, with new treatment options on the horizon.

So what can you do to help to support your immune system? I think that you should consider zinc, vitamin C and vitamin D supplements.

Zinc is an essential mineral used by more than 300 enzymes in the human body.

It helps to regulate communication between cells, modulate antiviral and antibacterial activity, and even helps with normal human development and gene expression.

Researchers have found that COVID-19 patients with low blood levels of zinc fared worse than people with healthier levels. Zinc

68

WELLINGTONCHAMBER.COM

is believed to prevent replication of the virus by inhibiting SARS CoV RN A polymerase and is also thought to decrease the activity of angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), known to be the receptor for binding SARS CoV 2. Through this mechanism, it is thought to exert its anti-inflammatory and regulatory effects to modulate the activity of the cytokine storm often associated with more advanced COVID-19 infections. It does compete with copper when it is absorbed, so you should discuss with your physician whether it is appropriate for you to take it, and how often.

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an essential nutrient which is often absorbed through our daily dietary intake of many brightly colored fruits and vegetables. Deficiencies of vitamin C have been associated with increased risk of respiratory infections such as pneumonia. It has been well accepted in the medical community that vitamin C is effective in preventing and attenuating symptoms related to viral illnesses, and assisting in recovery from viral illnesses.

It plays a crucial role in immune responses and has antioxidant and antiinflammatory effects. Infusions of vitamin C in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 have shown to increase activity of lymphocytes, which are a crucial component of the immune response mechanisms of the body, and are now considered part of standard therapy in caring for these patients.

Vitamin D, particularly 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, also known as D3, has been known for many years to be particularly important in our absorption of dietary calcium, but is suspected to benefit COVID-19 patients as well. Its activity is believed to be related to its modulatory effects on the immune system as well as the down regulation of the ACE2 in COVID-19-infected patients, thereby helping to prevent the cytokine storm. Many more studies need to be performed and investigated in the near future to confirm the benefits of these and other supplements, but they hold significant promise in dealing with this new virus, and may prove to be beneficial in dealing with many of our other seasonal viruses.

During this viral season, people should consider supplementing a daily multivitamin with zinc, though take a few days off through the month to ensure proper absorption of copper, vitamin C and vitamin D. Please note that THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE. Every situation is unique, and every person must check with his or her physician to see if the supplements may benefit them, particularly when they are taking multiple other medications. Other supplements may prove to be beneficial, include melatonin and quercetin, but I recommend discussing with your primary care physician to see if they would benefit your immune system and your overall health during this viral season.

CHOOSING A DOCTOR GETWELL

QUICK TIPS When you choose a primary care doctor for yourself or a loved one, make sure to choose a doctor you can trust. A primary care doctor can: n Help you stay healthy by recommending preventive services, like screening tests and shots n Treat many health problems n Refer you to a specialist when you need more help with a specific health issue WHEN YOU ARE CHOOSING A DOCTOR, LOOK FOR SOMEONE WHO: n Treats you with respect n Listens to your opinions and concerns n Encourages you to ask questions n Explains things in ways you can understand When you and your doctor work together as a team, you’ll get better health care. Try the following tips to find a doctor who’s right for you. Ask for recommendations from people you know. Getting a reference from someone you know and trust is a great way to find a doctor. Ask friends, family members, neighbors, or coworkers if they have a doctor they like. If you are looking for a new doctor because yours is retiring or moving, ask your current doctor for a recommendation.

Check with your insurance company. If you have health insurance, you may need to choose from a list of doctors in their network (doctors that take you insurance plan).

Some insurance plans may let you choose a doctor outside the network if you pay more

of the cost. Call your insurance company and ask for a list of local doctors who take your insurance plan. Find out if your insurance company has a website you can use to search for a local doctor who sees people with your plan. If you don’t have health insurance, you’ll have to pay for health care “out of pocket” (on your own). This can be very expensive. For help finding insurance, visit www.healthcare.gov.

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

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

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OFFICE: n Do they offer evening or weekend appointments? n What is the cancellation policy? n How long will it take to get an appointment? n How long do appointments usually last? n In light of the coronavirus pandemic, does the doctor offer telemedicine services? n Can you get lab work and x-rays done in the office? n If you are more comfortable speaking in a language besides English, is there a doctor or nurse who speaks that language?

THINK ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE AFTER THE FIRST VISIT. DID THE DOCTOR AND OFFICE STAFF... n Make you feel comfortable during your appointment? n Spend enough time with you? n Give you a chance to ask questions? n Answer your questions clearly?

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

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

n

n

n

professional owns the actual document. Realize that you have control over the information.

Have mistakes corrected: By law, you can have misleading or incorrect information corrected. If there is a mistake in your medical records, you need to have it fixed.

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

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

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

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

HOME REMEDIES

GETWELL

Turning to your doctor for every scratch or headache can be tiring and expensive. Home remedies can be an unexpected fix to an ongoing condition. Some household products have alternate uses that are as surprising as they are effective. Here are some locally grown fixes to some common ailments.

HICCUPS Drinking water, holding your breath and even getting scared have been attributed as cures for hiccups. When those old tricks don’t work, try swallowing a teaspoon of dry sugar.

It works by distracting the vagus nerve that innervates the diaphragm.

America’s only producer of certified organic sugar, Florida Crystals, is located right here in Palm Beach County.

CHEST CONGESTION With Florida’s pollen count, allergies are a common complaint of Floridians. When feeling congested from allergies or the common cold, try adding honey and lemon to a cup of hot water or tea. The ingredients

work together to soothe the throat and rid the airways of mucus. Beekeepers are abundant in Palm Beach County and offer a variety of different honeys that would be perfect for a congestion-calming tea.

ANXIETY When fighting off nerves, oranges are the secret weapon. Drinking orange juice with honey and nutmeg is known to slow heart rates. It works by improving blood vessel function with an antioxidant called hesperidin, which is known to reduce cholesterol and blood pressure. Even the aroma of oranges is said to reduce anxiety. In Florida, there is no shortage of oranges. Head down to Palm Beach Groves (2730 S. Ocean Blvd., Palm Beach) for some aromatherapy the next time you are feeling anxious.

SUNBURNS Add sunburn soother to the long list of applications for milk. With so many uses, it’s no wonder this all-purpose beverage is referred to as the fruit of life. The next time you get sunburned, try using a cold compress of milk and water. The fat and protein in the milk act as an anti-inflammatory while the cold temperature reduces swelling by causing blood vessels to constrict. For some all-natural goat’s milk, check out Goodness Gracious Acres (14817 97th Road N., West Palm Beach).

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

THE DOS AND DON’TS

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

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

Get out your pillboxes, people, because it is time to start integrating supplements into your routine. But before you get started, you need to know how to take supplements safely. Here are some guidelines to follow when taking dietary supplements: DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS ARE NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR A HEALTHY DIET For people who are vegan or lactoseintolerant, calcium and other supplements can provide the necessary amounts of vital nutrients. However, a variety of supplements will not replace a healthy diet.

Food gives the body a combination of

74

WELLINGTONCHAMBER.COM

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

STICK TO THE DOSAGE People think that since supplements are good for you, the more you take the better it is for your body. That idea is incorrect. Some supplements will have no greater effect if you take more than the recommended dose. In this case, taking more is a waste of money. Others have harmful effects. Keep in mind that “natural” or “organic” does not always mean “safe.” Always read the label to make sure you are only taking the recommended dose.

Be aware of the purpose and possible consequences of taking supplements N ever take supplements for no reason. Talk to your doctor about what supplements will make your diet well-rounded before taking what you may think you need. Also be aware of the vitamin or mineral’s unintended effects. Calcium is a popular supplement taken to prevent osteoporosis. According to Harvard Medical School, recent research studies have found substantial evidence that calcium supplements increase the risk of heart disease. Although nothing is proven, people with heart problems would be wise to stay away from calcium supplements. It is important to know what the supplement is and what it does in order to safely consume it.

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

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SMALL BUSINESSES

GETWELL IT MATTERS MORE NOW THAN EVER SMALL

businesses were greatly affected in 2021. Due to the pandemic and unlike any other time in recent history, small businesses had to reinvent themselves, be creative, innovate, and work harder than usual just to survive. As we come out of this pandemic, we don’t just want our local small businesses to survive—we want them to thrive.

Think for a moment about some recent purchases you have made.

Were these items from a big-box store? From an online retailer? Or were they from a local small business?

Research shows that for every $100 you spend at locally owned businesses, $68 will stay in the community. What happens when you spend that same $100 at a national chain? Only $43 stays in the community.

When you support local businesses, not only are you keeping more of your money in the community; you are also helping your friends, family and neighbors keep their jobs, create more jobs and invest in other local community initiatives.

Local small businesses provide many types of unique products and services— many of which you could not get anywhere else.

I am proud to be a local business owner. My husband, Allen, and I started our company, Gast Construction Group, 10 years ago with just us and a dream. We built our company with the mindset that if we support other local companies, organizations and nonprofits, that in turn, the community will reciprocate. To date, this has helped our company thrive. We now employ a group of like-minded individuals who build, live, work, shop and play here locally.

I am proud to have been appointed as the Wellington Chamber’s Small Business Committee Chair this year. The Mission of our Small Business Committee is: “To provide educational opportunities and workshops, technical assistance and think tank roundtables to small business owners/ entrepreneurs looking to locate, expand and maintain their business in Wellington. To give such organizations expertise through speakers’ bureaus, workshops and networking events. To develop a business networking group within the Chamber Membership that helps members cross-sell products that will improve sales growth and reduce expenses.”

For those of you reading this who have supported local small businesses, we thank you. Local business owners are counting on your continued support. If you are looking to start a business in Wellington, we are here to help.

WINTER EQUESTRIAN FESTIVAL AT THE PALM BEACH INTERNATIONAL EQUESTRIAN CENTER 3400 Equestrian Club Drive, Wellington 793-5867 | www.equestriansport.com The Winter Equestrian Festival runs from Jan. 5-April 3, 2022, and is the largest and longest-running event in horse sports. Typically, the Saturday Night Lights series features world-class equestrian show jumping, fine and casual dining and a variety of shopping options, as well as a live band and children’s fair. Daily horse competitions in 12 arenas, from pony classes to world-class Olympians, run Wednesday through Sunday beginning at 8 a.m. There is free general admission every day, with a parking fee on Saturday nights. VIP and box seating are available.

LIVE IN WELLINGTON When the Mall at Wellington Green launched its Community Event programming, in 2016, its first dance class attracted four participants. Four years later, when the program went on pause due to the coronavirus, that same instructor was teaching some 75 dancers—a testament to the rising demand of this family-friendly initiative.

The Community programming was created to try and make the mall a neutral gathering spot for consumers, retailers or the community in general to try something new—like a new class, a new event, a new experience,” says Meghan Buser, Community Event consultant. “Retail centers have moved beyond only retail, and I’d like to see the mall be that gathering spot to rethink what retail centers are.”

The Community feel has rebounded strongly since pandemic’s wane, bringing everything from art classes, car shows and fitness events to “Music & Me” experiences for toddlers and mom. Many of these events take place in the 5,000-square-foot Studio inside the Mall at Wellington Green, though the initiative has had a presence in the mall’s common areas and at off-site venues as well.

EQUESTRIAN COMMITTEE

Sportfot

EQUINE THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF

the Wellington Chamber Equestrian Committee is to promote, enhance and support the equestrian industry in Wellington. According to the Palm Beach County Business Development Board, the equestrian industry annually brings in more than $180 million to Palm Beach County.

Wellington has long been the flagship for the equestrian industry in Palm Beach County. With the founding of Palm Beach Polo in 1978, the equestrian impact on Wellington has created a unique character to life and business here.

Wellington serves as an international competition destination for polo, hunters, show jumping and dressage.

The Winter Equestrian Festival offers the most significant prize money in the world’s largest and longest-running international hunter/jumper series. In addition, the Global Dressage Festival hosts a series of FEI competitions to its roster of events, offering unprecedented prize money and drawing top European riders to Wellington.

During the 2021 equestrian season, Olympians came to Wellington to compete and qualify for the postponed summer Olympic Games. It was a busy season boasting some of the top competitors from all over the world vying for spots on their country’s teams. In the spring, a U.S. dressage Olympic qualifier was held at Palm Beach International Equestrian Center. At the Tokyo Olympic Games, Team USA brought home team silver in show jumping and dressage and team bronze in para-dressage during the Paralympics.

In July 2021, Denmark-based Global Equestrian Group, led by Andreas Helgstrand, acquired the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center in what was described as an unprecedented partnership with the current ownership group to develop international equestrian sport.

Wellington’s International Polo Club Palm Beach is the premier polo destination in the world, hosting the largest field of high-goal teams and the most prestigious polo tournaments in the U.S. Polo enthusiasts descend upon Wellington each winter season to enjoy their love of the sport in the most prominent and well equipped polo facility. The venue serves as the host of the U.S. Open Polo Championship.

During the fall, winter and spring seasons, Grand Champions Polo Club, the nation’s largest club with 13 well-manicured, world-class fields at GCPC and Santa Rita Polo Farm, hosts polo tournaments ranging from six to 26-goal, including the 26goal World Polo League in addition to special events. During the winter season, Grand Champions and Santa Rita will host 23 tournaments from January 15 to April 15.

The Grand Champions Fall Invitational League is geared toward improving players’ polo skills at every level. Roster lineups change from tournament to tour-

nament featuring amateur and professional players. It’s also a great opportunity for players and sponsors to prepare for the winter season.

With a mission to provide individuals opportunities in polo at every economic and ability level, Grand Champions Polo Club and Santa Rita Polo Farm’s expert staff can customize a complete playing experience including horses, professionals and certified umpires in addition to lessons and practice sessions as part of its Polo On Demand program.

Fans can watch polo livestreamed by CHUKKER TV’s state-ofthe-art technology featuring live polo and instant replays. Whether in Wellington or somewhere else wishing you were here, you can watch live polo on the CHUKKER TV Network.

The Wellington Chamber and the Wellington Chamber Equestrian Committee continue to promote and protect the economic interests of the equestrian community in Wellington. We look forward to continued growth, and we will continue to enhance and support Wellington’s equestrian community and bring its economic impact to benefit the entire Wellington community.

Q&A WITH MICHAEL STONE

OF EQUESTRIAN SPORT PRODUCTIONS WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO MOST DURING THIS YEAR’S WINTER EQUESTRIAN FESTIVAL? Every year, the competition is at such a high level because so many of the world’s top horses and riders join us, so that is my favorite part. In 2021, we had quite a few athletes come to Wellington to compete in the Winter Equestrian Festival that had never done so, because our facility was ahead of the curve with COVID protocols, and I’ve heard from some of them that they enjoyed the show so much that they will be back again this winter. Last season, riders were preparing for the Tokyo Olympics, and now we will see pairs getting ready for the World Championships.

For a chance to see the greats compete, we invite the public to join us for Saturday N ight Lights when we host grand prix competition.

serve as the grand finale during the final week of the horse show. The Nations Cup is always a very exciting event that pits teams representing countries against each other in March, and we are looking forward to that as well. A very important event for our Palm Beach County community, the 13th Annual Great Charity Challenge, presented by Fidelity Investments®, will return in February.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE ADEQUAN® GLOBAL DRESSAGE FESTIVAL? Like the Winter Equestrian Festival, the Adequan® Global Dressage Festival is the longest-running and largest dressage competition in the world. More than 1,000 horses and riders compete at AGDF each year. In 2022, the season will include four CDI4* weeks, four World Cup Qualifier weeks, and one CDI5* week.

Our feature events are the Friday Night Stars, of which we will have seven open for spectators. These generally feature the Freestyle class, where horse-andrider pairs complete a choreographed test set to music.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHT EVENTS THIS SEASON? The 2022 WEF will feature four CSI5* weeks, which is the highest rating an international show jumping competition can receive. The $500,000 Rolex Grand Prix CSI5* will

Q&A WITH MICHAEL STONE

SusanJStickle.com

HOW CAN THE WELLINGTON BUSINESS COMMUNITY GET INVOLVED IN ALL THIS EQUESTRIAN ACTIVITY? Equestrians add thousands of people to the population of Wellington each winter, offering opportunities for businesses to cater to a whole new set of customers. Restaurants and bars will certainly see more traffic, presenting a chance to earn repeat customers. Sunday evenings are a good time to offer special deals to local competitors, or you could even live-stream the WEF grand prix on Saturday night to your TVs. That is a big draw for equestrians, so a Saturday night special could be a good idea. Don’t forget, Mondays are the off days for participants, so that’s when they will spend most of their money with local businesses. Make sure you are open!

WHAT CAN PEOPLE EXPECT WHO MAY NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT EQUESTRIAN SPORT? They may be surprised at how many people will join the Wellington community during the winter! This is a big enterprise, so expect to see lots of people in breeches and boots in restaurants and stores. If they’ve never been to an event, we invite them to join us at one or all of our venues to see what the sports are like. At WEF, in particular, there are tons of family-friendly activities and entertainment in addition to the competition. We want the public to see what these sports are all about, so WEF and AGDF only require a parking fee, and IPC has low-price tickets.

HOW DOES THE EQUESTRIAN INDUSTRY IMPACT THE VILLAGE OF WELLINGTON AND PALM BEACH COUNTY? Equestrian sports in Wellington contribute greatly to the village, especially in the winter, and the economic value is immense. The 2020 Winter Equestrian Festival contributed $286 million and 3,063 jobs to the Palm Beach economy. This resulted in labor earnings of $88.1 million. Once you add the numbers associated with the Adequan® Global Dressage Festival and the International Polo Club Palm Beach, the facts are even more impressive.
