FIRE DEPARTMENT

Do you have a long-term plan for a healthy lifestyle?

So how are those New Year’s resolutions coming? Have you lost those 15 pounds? How many days a week have you been going to the gym? How many times have you called your mother?

Please don’t feel bad … Four out of five gym memberships made in January have been canceled by April.

Another survey showed that 90 percent of the New Year’s resolutions lose commitment in less than a month.

So let’s look at why these New Year’s resolutions and the best of intentions fail and see if we can’t find a way to prevent you from disappointing yourself once again. Along the way we’re going to make your body a healthier and happier place to live in.

First of all it is not a matter of lacking willpower; as a matter fact if anything it’s a matter of lacking won’t power; the ability to say no to yourself and caving into impulse, and making sometimes self-destructive choices.

It is critically important to power up those “won’t” muscles: no I won’t eat that second donut; I won’t have that second glass of wine. So if indeed you failed to keep up with your promises to yourself and your New Year’s resolutions, don’t beat yourself up.

I believe most people fail not out of weakness but out of inadequate planning.

So the secret to your success lies in three critical pieces: 1) You need a purpose — a reason to do what you’re proposing to do 2) You need a plan, precise and explicit: Know exactly what you want to do and what you hope to achieve 3) You need a partner — another person to join you on this quest to hold you accountable for your actions because you are much more likely to disappoint yourself than you are to disappoint a friend or admit failure PURPOSE: Your purpose needs to be more than a desire to lose 15 pounds, because when you lose that 15 pounds do you just quit all the activity that got you there?

Your purpose should be a vision of your future self, engaged in activities like playing with your children or grandchildren; having the energy and desire to dance, travel, to make marvelous new memories; to love energetically and defy aging by committing to new healthy habits.

PLAN: The plan is simple.

1) Eight hours of sleep per night 2) 15 minutes of stretching and exercise every morning or 30 minutes every other day. The exercise can be yoga, walking, running, swimming,

Dr. Scott McFarland NPB FD Medical Director

biking or dancing, just make it fun! Get a calendar, post it in a conspicuous place and proudly mark off each day that you meet these objectives (people are driven to perpetuate streaks).

3) Eat more fish, more fruits and vegetables and less sugar; one multivitamin per day(with extra Vitamin D) and at least 8 glasses of water a day plus an extra glass for every 20 minutes that you spend outdoors or exercising.

PARTNER: Making a commitment with a partner more than double the joy and doubles your chances of success. A partner is both cheerleader and teammate in this quest for robust health.

Dr. Scott McFarland has been the Medical Director of Village Fire Rescue since 2007. He went to college at Notre Dame, Medical School at Alabama, and trained in General Surgery and Emergency Medicine at the University of Miami. He served as Medical Director of the Emergency Departments at Wellington Regional and Palm Beach Gardens Medical Centers, and was the host of the PBS Medical program, “Healthy Body Healthy Mind.” Dr. McFarland has been a Board-Certified Emergency Physician since 1994.

Firefighters demonstrate rescue skills Normally, this Volvo is not a convertible. But it is now, thanks to several Village firefighters who gave a “Jaws of Life” demonstration recently at the monthly “Cruisin’ Food Fest” in John D. MacArthur Beach State Park.

They posed for the photo after their mock rescue drill, but in a real situation, they are all about business. They ask that you wear seat belts and drive carefully, hoping to use their skills only for demonstration in the future.

CLEANUP DAY/Parks Director Retires

Citizens take the lead in keeping North Palm Beach beautiful The Village appreciates the volunteers who recently helped clean up Anchorage Park. Together they pulled 110 pounds of trash out of the Earman River and off park grounds.

The group was joined by Village Council members Susan Bickel and Mark Mullinix, as well as Village Manager Andy Lukasik. It was a great first effort by a motivated group of residents who are making a difference. Thank you resident Shawn Woods for spearheading the successful event!

Great American Cleanup Day is April 27 Join your Village neighbors for a group cleanup effort at Anchorage Park, Lakeside Park, Munyon Island, and the Village Community Center.

To sign up, visit www.village-npb.org

Long-time Parks & Recreation Director retires after 35 years After 35 years leading baseball, basketball, football, soccer, tennis and swimming programs, the Village’s Parks & Recreation Director decided he loves pickleball!

Mark Hodgkins began working with the Village in 1983 and spent many weekends, nights and holidays making sure the events that make the Village so special ran smoothly.

Thank you to everyone who came out to the March retirement event for Mark. He has accomplished so much for Village residents during the last 35 years and will be missed by many. Good luck Mark!

CODE WORKSHOPS/Police Tips

Resident participation needed at Code Update workshops The Village is holding a series of monthly citizen workshops to plan for future business development on U.S. Highway 1 and on Northlake Boulevard.

At the meetings, consultants will present proposed changes to the Village Code of Ordinances that are intended to encourage private sector investment in local business properties.

Public involvement is critically important to the redevelopment process and to the future of the Village life and property values, so residents are strongly encouraged to attend and to get involved.

Meetings begin at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers.

Future meeting dates are: • April 16 • May 13 • June 6 For more information about the Code Update meetings, visit www.VillageCodeUpdate.org.

Police Department offers tips to keep burglars away while you’re on vacation As we get closer to the warmer months, for some that means vacations are on the horizon. With this in mind, the North Palm Beach Police Department would like to remind its residents that when preparing to go out of town on vacation it is important that you take necessary steps to safeguard your homes and vehicles from potential burglars.

If you’ll be out of town for an extended period of time, make sure that all vehicles are locked and parked inside a closed garage if possible. If this is not possible, leave vehicles in a conspicuous location and remember to lock all windows and doors and remove all valuables.

To safeguard your home, make sure that any exterior lighting is in operation during the overnight hours as well as ensuring that all exterior doors and windows are locked.

And if your home is equipped with an alarm system, check to make sure it is operating properly prior to setting the alarm.

It is also a good idea to ask a friend or neighbor to look after your property when you are away and have them periodically check to make sure all is in order.

You can make arrangements with the post office to suspend delivery to your home for specific dates.

Burglars will often look to see a collection of mail and/or packages at the front door and use that as an indicator that the resident is away and the house is an easy target for a burglary.

Don’t let yourself fall prey to these crime opportunities and make sure to take the necessary precautions so that you and yours may enjoy your time away.

And remember: Anytime you see something suspicious, don’t hesitate to call 911. Let the officers check it out make the determination, it’s the best thing to do.

COUNTRY CLUB UPDATE

Country Club Update

Second floor rises as locations of doors, windows become visible

The new Village Country Club is now becoming visible from U.S. Highway 1 as the second floor of the 37,000-squarefoot building is now rising higher than the original clubhouse ever stood.

The increasing height also means the design of the north, south, east and west elevations of the clubhouse are beginning to become defined. While it is still primarily a shell of the building, the locations and general size of many of the window and door openings can be seen.

Also, as the architectural rendering below on the bottom right indicates, there will be several columns on each side

of the exterior of the building. The locations and relative distances of some of those columns can now been seen (the orange posts).

The top left photo below shows the front of the building where guests will enter from the parking lot.

The bottom left photo shows construction crews working on the 2nd floor multi-purpose banquet room, which will offer a panoramic view of the golf course to the north and west.

The bottom center photo is the view from the golf course looking into the outdoor covered dining area on the 2nd floor of the restaurant.

Ready for golf? Book your tee time and enjoy the beautiful new greens At last, we are waiting to hear from you!

Book your tee time by calling (561) 691-3434 or do it yourself online at www.NPBgolf.net.

Speaker Zenon Bilas Tuesday, April 30 at 3:15 p.m.

From Passion to Profession By following your passion you can experience a lifetime of personal and professional growth and “Never work a day in your life� if you do what you love. Zenon Bilas discovered barefoot water skiing at 15 years-old. The challenging sport required focus, balance, strength and precision. Learning the sport and communicating this passion to others has resulted in an incredible journey for Zenon, going from enthusiast to being an employee at a water ski pro shop, to becoming an entrepreneur for the first ever year-round barefoot water ski school. Since then, Zenon has given coaching sessions and lectures in over 20 countries. Zenon also turned to journalism, publishing articles and photographing the sport for magazines worldwide. This led to being featured in promotions and TV commercials, which included

LIBRARY playing the part of a barefooting Tony the Tiger.

Zenon’s journey can inspire others to take their own passion and turn it into a successful and rewarding career. Refreshments will be served.

Children Little Listeners Story Time Tuesdays at 9:30 a.m.

Ages 17 months - age 3 Our Little Listeners Storytime for toddlers is a fun way to introduce early literacy skills to little ones on the move. Plenty of movement activities will emphasize body awareness, rhythm, and gross motor skills as they dance and jump along to the music.
