Two Loggerhead Sea Turtles Released By Friends Of MacArthur Beach State Park, Angari Foundation, And
The Florida Park Service
Two juvenile loggerhead sea turtles were successfully released into ocean waters on Monday by the Florida Park Service and Friends of John D. MacArthur Beach State Park (Friends) along with ANGARI Foundation.
One-year-old Olive and 10-month-old Mac have been cared for by a dedicated team of staff at John D. MacArthur
Beach State Park since they were 3 months old. The turtles are part of the park’s educational sea turtle ambassador program to educate visitors about the importance of sea turtle conservation. The state park receives over 150,000 visitors annually and over 4,000 of those visitors are students who participate in education programs, where the sea turtles are a major focal point.
For the Friends, sharing these ambassadors with visitors amplifies the mission to inspire appreciation and conservation of our ocean.

Friday Night Spectacle
The weekend kicks off with the famous Friday Night Air Show & Dirty Flight Suit Party presented by TD Bank on Nov. 7. Gates open at 4 p.m., with flying starting at 5:30 p.m. As night falls, the sky will light up with illuminated aerobatic routines, a dazzling fireworks finale, and a choreographed drone show set to music.
Weekend Fun For All
On Saturday and Sunday, gates open at 9 a.m., with aerial performances beginning around 11:30 a.m. and continuing until 5 p.m. Beyond the aerial thrills, the Stuart Air Show offers interactive exhibits, displays from local organizations, food vendors, and activities for all ages—making it more than just a show, but a full community experience.

educated thousands of visitors about sea turtles and conservation,” said Veronica Frehm, CEO of Friends of MacArthur Beach State Park. “It is these personal encounters that can spark people’s interests and can help them on their way to becoming lifelong sea turtle advocates. Our conservation and research efforts are helping ensure these species remain part of our ocean for years to come. We look forward to getting a new sea turtle ambassador in the coming months.”
John D. MacArthur Beach State Park is the only state park permitted to house sea turtles in Florida.
Olive and Mac were named by the social media community. After a week of online and in person voting at the park, the names “Olive” and “Mac” (for MacBeach) were the favorites. The Friends received hundreds of votes from visitors, students, staff, and Board members.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) issued a marine turtle permit to the park to house two juvenile loggerhead sea turtles for educational purposes. The park received these two turtles from Dr. Jeanette Wyneken’s research lab at the Florida Atlantic University (FAU) Research Gallery, located within the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center. Her long-term study focuses on how weather and climate affect sea turtle eggs and the implications.
Park staff are advised regularly by the FWC, sea turtle scientists, as well as sea turtle veterinarians, to make sure the turtles are healthy and receive the best possible care. Before their release, both turtles received their final vet checkups and were cleared by the team at FWC.
The sea turtles were released off the coast of West Palm Beach from ANGARI Foundation’s 65-foot research vessel, R/V ANGARI. While ANGARI Foundation has supported sea turtle research onboard its vessel in the past, this is the first sea turtle release from R/V ANGARI.

In 2024, CROS distributed 1,160,913 pounds of food which helped serve 121,664 individuals. Over the past five years, the number of people seeking food assistance from CROS has surged by 71%, driven by rising grocery and housing costs and other economic pressures.This increased demand comes at a time when USDA cuts to The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) and other federal funding cuts threaten to significantly limit the food and financial support CROS receives, directly impacting how much food CROS can provide to the increased number of families and individuals facing hunger and food insecurity.
Behind every meal and bag of food CROS provides is a person, a family and a story of resilience. Participation in the Hustle to End Hunger helps ensure CROS continues to make a lasting impact in the lives of our brothers, sisters and neighbors.

September: The Gateway Month
Game Changing Edition
By: Kelly Leary, M.S. & Miranda Capperelli
“The proof of love is in the works. Where love exists, it works great things. But when it ceases to act, it ceases to exist.” – St. Gregory the Great
As the pressure to live the “perfect” summer dissipates, you will begin to feel extra space. Pressure makes diamonds, and it is an ideal month to reignite your sparkle. If you are a parent of school-age children or college-age adults, you likely just gave the back-to-school motivational talks. “Make new friends. Join clubs. Study hard.” Having children is a lifelong commitment to love forever. However, back to school means “back to you.” Once again, we thank all of you for following us for so many years and for sharing this enlightening news with your single family and friends. We love you back.
Along with flirting with the last quarter of the year, single adults are thinking about what it would be like to be in a relationship again. This is called “healthy stress,” and it will move you forward. “Unhealthy stress” will freeze you in your spot and hold you back. What would you tell your younger self entering into a new chapter of life? Thoughts of coupling off are unavoidable this time of year, don’t stress the inevitable. As the prelude to cuffing season , September invites us to embrace change, leave our comfort zone, and experience the journey of falling in love (again). In the same way you encourage young people to go after their dreams, we urge you to take your own advice while you are youthful enough to enjoy it! Connection.
September merges an ending with a beginning, a time when the universe seems to take a collective breath. We are in a moment of subtle yet profound change. Leaves are
changing, and the energy is different this time of year. This prepares us for the revolution that lies ahead – the prospect of finding deep and meaningful connections before the year ends. Biological factors are at play. Whether you like it or not, the human body will biologically seek emotional support through relationships—super loaded this time of year. It’s science. Love is in our DNA. Above a healthy eating lifestyle and ten thousand steps a day--longevity is contingent on connection. Anticipation.
As the days grow shorter, the anticipation of cuffing season begins to build. This idea of “cuffing season” may be seen as just one of many cultural influences through the media, but there’s no denying that you have not felt this feeling too. This is the prequel to holiday romance. Your new beau will be chiming in soon. Believe it and live on this trajectory and it will present itself—because you are living “as if” it has already happened. Fight it or buck it and you may have another holiday season solo. It will be a “you problem” if you do. This is a two-man job--and it won’t happen unless your mind and body are living it...before it even happens. This can lead to thrilling adventures and unexpected encounters that culminate in lasting relationships. It is said that relationships that begin in the Fall Season have a higher rate of longevity and sustainability.
Behold The Learning Curve.
Just as nature adapts to the seasons, you can too. You can overcome any hurdles that may be blocking your (romantic) growth. Today we know more than we did yesterday. Our knowledge of what you need and who you need is at your service and has been for 34 years and counting. We meet clients who are easy to match because of their own strengths. Likewise, we have clients who need some tweaking. We urge you to keep your ears open, because no one is perfect, and you might need some work to prepare for your new plus one. Be open to learning as you enter into a relationship again and embark on a new dating journey.
The Solution.
Welcome September with the excitement of a child on the first day of school. Pretend you are on a college campus again. Make new friends. Try new things. Join new clubs. Get yourself out there and be seen by new (single)
people. Say goodbye to your old life and greet your new life with open arms and an open heart. You can be living a completely different reality by the holidays. Let’s hit the last part of 2025 with the strength and courage we instill in our children as they go to school.
There are people ready and excited to meet you. Someone is waiting to fall in love -- with you. Be present and available so they can find you. Reach out to connect to the hottest and most well-respected matchmaking firm, ideally located just for you. Stay in love with life. Let it love you back.
Thank us later.
XOXO, Kelly & Miranda

2026 Medicare Drug And Advantage Plan Changes: What You Need to Know Medicare Drug Plans (PDPs) and Advantage Plans will see significant changes in 2026. In 2025, many experienced premium and deductible increases and some decreases in extra benefits. Unfortunately, many didn’t review their Notice of Change (NOC), and by the time January bills arrived, it was too late to adjust. While some people didn’t review plan changes to their Advantage Plans and stayed, it’s important to stay informed and be proactive about upcoming changes and review other plans. What You Should Do Now
1. Review Your Notice of Change (NOC) – If you’re on a Medicare Advantage Plan or have a Supplement and Drug Plan, make sure to review the Notice of Change from your provider.
• Note: There are NO benefit changes to Supplement Plans.
• The NOC will detail changes in costs, benefits, and coverage.
2. Consider a Medicare Plan Review – After reviewing your NOC, I can help find a plan that may better meet your needs, such as one with a lower premium, reduced copays, or additional benefits that suit your needs.
1. $2,000 Out-Of-Pocket Spending Cap
The $2,000 cap that started in 2025 continues to apply to prescription drug out-of-pocket spending, reducing costs for those with high drug expenses.
2. Elimination Of The Coverage Gap
The “Donut Hole” is still eliminated, meaning you’ll pay $0 once you hit the Catastrophic phase.
3. Changes To Initial Coverage And Plan Costs
Expect updates to plan deductibles and copays during the deductible and initial coverage phase.
4. Option For Monthly Payments
You can pay out-of-pocket costs in monthly installments instead of lump sums, making it easier to manage your budget.
Why A Dedicated Agent Is Essential
Navigating Medicare plans can be complicated. A dedicated agent – like me – provides personalized support and guidance, unlike random agents in a call center. I’m here to help you understand your options and find a plan that best fits your needs.
I specialize in Medicare Supplements, Advantage Plans, Prescription Drug Plans, and Dual Plans. Whether reviewing your current coverage or exploring new options, I’m here to help.

Financial Focus
A Retiree’s Guide For National Financial Security Month
By Sally Sima Stahl, Edward Jones
If you’re retired, it’s easy to let your finances go on autopilot. Since October is National Retirement Security Month, it’s a good time to revisit some areas that can impact your long-term financial security and help your money last a lifetime.
Consider these suggestions:
• Manage your withdrawal rate. You’ll likely need to tap into your retirement accounts—your IRA and 401(k) or similar employer-sponsored plan. But think carefully about how much income you withdraw every year. If you take out too much, especially in the early years of your retirement, you risk outliving your resources. You have the option of withdrawing from these accounts at age 59½. Once you turn 72, you’ll be required to take out at least a certain amount each year based on your age and account balance.
• Estimate health care costs. When you turn 65, you will be eligible for Medicare, but you may still need a Medicare
supplement plan, both of which will require premium payments. You’ll probably also incur a variety of other unreimbursed expenses for doctor visit copays or deductibles, prescription drugs and vision, hearing and dental care. Additionally, about 70% of adults ages 65 and older will need some form of long-term support, according to the Department of Health and Human Services. This may include a paid home health aide (average cost of $77,792 per year), an assisted living residence (average cost of $70,500 per year) or nursing home care (private room average cost of $127,750 per year). (Cost estimates are from Genworth 2024 Cost of Care Survey.) Over the course of your retirement, these can add up, so be realistic when budgeting for health care expenses in retirement.
• Consider when to take Social Security. You can start receiving monthly Social Security checks at age 62, but your payments will generally be larger if you wait until your “full” retirement age of 66 or 67. (The size of your payments will “max out” at age 70.) If you believe you have longevity working in your favor, and you can afford to wait, you may well be better off by delaying Social Security as long as possible.
• Avoid investing too conservatively . Once you’re retired, you might think you should take as few chances with your investments as possible—after all, you have less time for them to bounce back from a downturn than you did during your working years. Nonetheless, it’s important to consider keeping a reasonable percentage of growthoriented investments in your portfolio to help you stay ahead
of inflation. Even at a low rate, inflation can erode your purchasing power over time.
• Keep your generosity in check. If you have grown children who need financial help, or grandchildren heading to college someday, you’d no doubt like to do what you can to assist them. However, the hard truth is that they have more time than you to find workable financial solutions, whereas if you deplete your funds through your generosity, you could put yourself in a precarious position. So, be as giving as you can afford—but try not to go beyond that. By preserving your financial independence, you’ll end up benefiting your family as well.
Retirement is ideally an enjoyable time in your life, especially if you feel financially stable. So, take time to check in periodically to keep that stability on track.

From Overwhelmed To On It: A Parenting Expo
By Jim Forgan, Ph.D., Licensed School Psychologist
Parenting a child who learns differently can be both rewarding and overwhelming. You might find yourself asking questions like: How can I help my child stay organized? What do these test results really mean? How do I prepare my teen for college? If you’ve ever felt unsure of where to turn for guidance, my parenting expo focused on learning differences is the perfect place to start. My expo brings together experts and educators to offer you real-world strategies and support. From managing executive
functioning challenges to decoding neuropsychological testing, the five sessions are designed to turn confusion into clarity.
One of the biggest advantages of attending? Connection. You’ll meet other parents who share similar challenges and triumphs. Knowing you’re not alone can be incredibly powerful. Plus, networking with professionals and fellow parents often leads to resources you didn’t even know existed.
The expo sessions are tailored to meet you where you are. For example, if you’re navigating the special education system, you’ll gain practical advocacy tips to make your voice heard. If you have a high schooler with learning differences, you’ll walk away with a roadmap to help them transition to college with confidence.
Another key focus is strength-based parenting and learning to see ADHD and other learning differences not just as challenges, but as opportunities to unlock your child’s unique
Joint Ownership Can Block Sales And Trigger Legal Trouble: Part 2
By Anné DesormierCartwright, JD, Esq.
Even worse, if your coowner becomes incapacitated without a power of attorney, you may have to petition the court to appoint a guardian just to move forward with a sale. That court-appointed guardian may not agree with your plans. What seemed like a smart shortcut now looks like a legal and tax minefield. In Part 3, we’ll look at better, safer
alternatives to joint ownership that preserve control and protect your family’s future.
Safer Alternatives To Joint Ownership
If you want to avoid probate and protect your family, joint ownership is not your only option—and often not the best one.
A revocable living trust can accomplish everything joint ownership promises and more. It avoids probate, allows you to name backup decision-makers in case of incapacity, and ensures your property passes according to your wishes—not just automatically to a surviving co-owner.
Powers of attorney and health care directives help avoid the need for court intervention if you become incapacitated. They
gifts. Sessions like “Unlocking Strengths” help reframe your perspective and offer tools for positive parenting.
In just one day, you’ll gather information it might take months to research on your own. Whether you’re new to the journey or deep in the trenches, this expo is designed to equip, empower and encourage. Investing a few hours in this event could transform the way you support your child for years to come.
Join us on Saturday, Oct. 11 in Jupiter. The cost is $10 of which all proceeds benefit the Carter Viss Foundation for boating safety. Learn more about the expo at JimForgan. com/expo or call (561) 625-4125 to discuss your child and your concerns for possible learning disabilities, dyslexia, ADHD, autism or anxiety.
let you name someone you trust to act on your behalf, without creating ownership entanglements.
Beneficiary designations and transfer-on-death (TOD) arrangements are other tools that allow assets to bypass probate—but without handing over control or risking legal and tax fallout.
The bottom line? Joint ownership may feel easy now, but it can create future headaches.

The Pet Cottage Post
The Heart Of Belonging: Love In Every Season
By Wendy Derhak, founder of
The Pet Cottage
When Poppy and Auggie, two beautiful Cocker Spaniels, came to The Pet Cottage after their mom passed away, we hoped they might stay together forever. While searching for the best Forever Guardians for each of them, we met a family of Cocker Spaniel lovers who were eager to add another to their home.
In July, Auggie joined their family and is now living his best life— playing soccer in the yard, enjoying the company of his new Cocker companion, Freckles, and soaking up attention from the grandchildren.
Meanwhile, Poppy is happily making her own fun here at the Sanctuary. She’s independent, curious, and full of personality—a complete hooligan in the best way. She loves going for walks, sniffing out every interesting scent, and investigating anything that catches her attention. She gets along well with other dogs, but she’d really love a guardian who can give her plenty of one-on-one attention and enjoy her clever, endearing quirks. And at the end of the day, she’s happiest curling up on the couch with her person for a good cuddle.

College Or Trade School: Helping Your Child Choose The Right Path
By Peggy Forgan, M. Ed., Class 101 Owner/College Advisor
Choosing what comes after high school is one of the most important decisions your child will make. While college has long been the traditional route, trade schools are emerging as an equally valuable option. Understanding both pathways can help you guide your child toward a future that matches their strengths, interests, and goals. College provides a broad education and is often essential for careers in fields like medicine, law, business and education. A
four-year degree can open doors to leadership positions and higher earning potential over time. However, it requires a significant financial investment and demands that students be academically and socially prepared for the challenges of campus life.
Trade schools offer focused, hands-on training in skilled professions such as plumbing, HVAC, welding, electrical work, cosmetology and more. These programs typically take one to two years to complete and can lead directly to well-paying jobs in high-demand fields. Trade careers provide stability, lower student debt, and a faster path into the workforce.
Early planning and open conversations are crucial. Encourage your child to explore their interests through job shadowing, internships, or high school courses that expose them to various industries. Research both college and trade
programs carefully, considering cost, job placement rates and earning potential.
At Class 101 North Palm Beach, we understand that every student’s path is unique. Whether your child is preparing for university or a trade school, what matters most is making informed decisions based on their talents and passions. Class 101 also offers a Discovering Careers package for high school students, helping them explore potential career paths and make confident choices about their future.
For more information, call Class 101 at (561) 418-7897, email Peggy at pforgan@class101.com, or visit class101. com/northpalmbeachfl. By starting these conversations early and utilizing resources like Class 101, you can help set the foundation for your child’s confident and successful future.
