Dear Chamber Member:

The year 2010 is an exciting one for our organization. After a successful construction period managed and supported by many of our chamber volunteers, the chamber staff is now situated in a new chamber headquarters and community facility. The new chamber building properly reflects the professional image of the communities and membership we represent.

Our newest endeavor, the Economic Development Task Force, is made up of our municipal elected officials and leadership staff along with community and chamber leadership. The Task Force Regional Economic Development Initiative will unite our region to positively impact our communities’ employment potential, business development patterns and our quality of life. As the premier business organization representing the heart of Palm Beach County, we have continued to adapt to the changes and challenges facing many businesses today, but it is now more important than ever for us to continue our efforts at strengthening the chamber’s internal infrastructure. We will be working diligently over the next year to raise the appropriate funds to add an Economic Development Director to our staff. The addition of this support will allow for a concentrated effort on strategic initiatives developed by the regional task force and an increase in our involvement in local development efforts that are geared toward building a strong and diverse workforce.

As for the chamber’s “state of the union,” we are so proud to have continued to grow during these challenging times. During the past year, we increased our trustee membership to 40 individuals — the continued reflection of member and community confidence. We delivered increased revenues on all of our special events. We have continued to offer a diversity of programs and events that are positioned to help members market their services and products while simultaneously networking among the industrial mix and demographic segments within our service area.

We recognize that the most important relationship this chamber fosters is with you, our members and investors. You’re looking for the tools and resources to help your business prosper, and we’re looking for ways to provide them for you. We are constantly working on your behalf, because when your business flourishes, so does the community. The connection between our members, peers, legislators, press and friends is essential. This chamber continues to be the strongest central Palm Beach County organization in which to develop these professional relationships.

We look forward to another year of service to our community and to you, our members.

Sincerely,

Carmine Priore III, P.E. Palms West Chamber

Chairman of the Board of Directors

Graphic-Signs and Allstate Insurance-Julie Kime were named winners of the 2009 Palms West Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year Awards. Each year, the chamber recogniz-es two corporate entities for their outstanding business achievements — one for a business with gross annual sales of less than $2 million and the other for a business with sales of more than $2 million.

Julie Kime, owner of Allstate Insurance-Wellington, was named the winner for a business with more than $2 million in sales. Before there was a Palms West Chamber of Commerce, there was Julie Kime. For over 30 years she has been serving central Palm Beach County as an Allstate Insurance agent. If you’ve lived or worked in Wellington long enough, you probably know of Kime through her work as one of the state’s top Allstate agents or though her philanthropic efforts. It is for these reasons, and a whole laundry list of others, that secured this award for Kime. “I am proud of my name in the community as being a supporter of charities both financially as well as donated time,” Kime said. “If you benefit from business in the community, you should contribute, and that has been very re-warding for me.”

And it has been very rewarding for local chari-ties, not to mention the Palms West Chamber of Commerce, where Kime has pledged more than $10,000 toward the new Palms West Chamber building, and hundreds of thou-sands of dollars to one of her favorite chari-

ties, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County. For her contributions to the youth organization, she was recently recognized and nominated to the Jeremiah Milbank Society, an elite group of individuals dedicated to serv-ing their local Boys & Girls Clubs.

But Kime’s commitment to her community didn’t begin after she became successful as an Allstate agent, it was quite the opposite. When she started her business, she became a found-ing member of the Palms West Chamber. Kime currently serves as a valued trustee of the organization. Throughout her career, she has been recognized with many prestigious awards, including the Executive Women of the Palm Beaches’ Women in Leadership Award, which recognizes women who have sustained outstanding accomplishments. “I feel I have been fortunate to have been successful in my Allstate agency and to have had the opportu-nity to have made a large commitment and contribution to the community over the past 26 years,” she said.

The Palms West Chamber of Commerce is also fortunate to have Dale Pickford’s guid-ance and equally honored to name Pickford as the 2009 Business of the Year recipient for a business with gross sales of less than $2 mil-lion.

With an amazing sense of creativity, techno-logical savvy and ability to solve any problem, no matter how complex, Dale Pickford has become an invaluable asset to the Palms West

Chamber. It’s hard to believe it was only four years ago when the president of Graphic-Signs, a full service, state-licensed sign and printing company, joined the chamber. Although still relatively new to the organization, Pickford’s business acumen is somewhat legendary for a small business owner. After retiring from a ca-reer in information technology five years ago, Pickford started his business in 2005 as he was looking to marry his artistic passion with his technology skills. A high-quality digital print operation was the perfect fit. Gradually Pick-ford began providing additional services based on his customers’ requests, leading his business to where it is today — a full-service sign and printing shop with complete in-house graphic design services. Pickford believes his success is based on taking pride in what he creates and enjoying helping his customers succeed.

Shortly after Pickford started his business, the British ex-patriot joined the chamber and served as an ambassador, welcoming new busi-nesses to the chamber. “When I first joined, I became and ambassador because I knew the best way to grow my business through the chamber was to meet other chamber mem-bers,” Pickford said. “This has proven to be so true; we actually do very little advertising as almost all of our new customers are referrals.”

Pickford understands the value of the chamber and recently increased his membership level to trustee status and serves on the chamber’s board of directors, as vice chair of technology, naturally. Pickford is not only an active mem-

Palms West Chamber Annual Awards

CHAIRMAN’S CHOICE AWARD:Susan Giddings Recognized for Service to Chamber

(Left) Chairman’s Choice Award winner Susan Giddings accepts her award from former chamber chairmen John Spillane and Kevin DiLallo.

For more than two years, Susan Giddings has dreamed of a new space for the Palms West Cham-ber of Commerce, and she has worked hard to make that dream a reality. Giddings is the vice president and a principal of O’Dell Land Development Consultants. She is also the chamber’s vice chair of economic development. She has been instrumental in moving the process forward for the new Palms West Chamber headquarters. Her help has been invaluable and has earned her the Chairman’s Choice Award.

Each year the chamber’s chairman of the board of directors recognizes a member for their exem-plary leadership and service in furthering the chamber’s mission. Immediate past chairman John Spillane chose Giddings, as her help in finalizing the chamber’s lease has made it possible to see a new chamber building on Southern Blvd. “Susan’s contributions have been an integral part of our finalizing our 30-year lease with Palm Beach County, expediting our builder contracts, providing needed documentation for our loan, and moving us quickly through the permitting phase of the building process,” CEO Jaene Miranda said. “I am very pleased with the selection and honored to have such a wonderful volunteer as part of our board of directors.”

Giddings thanked the board and staff for their hard work in helping support the future chamber building. “This will put the chamber more in the forefront of the community,” she said. “It’s a great opportunity for the community to get involved in the building and feel like they’ve had a part of the growth of the chamber.”

ber of the chamber, but believes in giving back to the community and serves as an assistant scoutmaster and provides in-kind sign services for many charities. When time allows, Pick-ford is literally not so grounded, as his hob-bies include flying (he carries a commercial pilot’s license), motorsports and is a rescue scuba diver. Although Pickford would like more time for his passions, time is precious for this father of two who is busy planning

future Graphic-Signs locations. “The future is to continue to grow without compromising our focus on customer service and quality,” he said. “We aim to add additional locations when the timing is right and the right staff mix can be assured.”

Congratulations to both Julie Kime and Dale Pickford on earning the chamber’s 2009 Busi-ness of the Year awards!

The Palms West Chamber of Commerce now has a new home! The building is lo-cated on Southern Blvd. and replaces the modular building that has been the orga-nization’s home for 18 years.

New Chamber Home Is ComPleTe!

Along with housing the staff of the Palms West Chamber of Com-merce, the new 4,000-square-foot building will function as a marketing center for the region. “The facility includes a large, 1,000-square-foot community conference room and a smaller executive conference room which we will utilize for workshops, committee meetings and train-ing,” Palms West Chamber CEO Jaene Miranda said. “We will also be able to provide these meeting rooms to our member businesses and lo-cal community groups.”

The construction project is the culmination of the efforts of many past and present board chairs and community leaders who saw the need for a new facility and raised the dollars to begin the construction. The Palms West Community Foundation — the chamber’s non-profit affiliate — received financing assistance from Sterling Bank President David Al-bright to help close the gap between the dollars that have been raised and the cost of construction, which is estimated at just over $700,000.

Several fundraising initiatives have been added to the Palms West Com-munity Foundation calendar of events to help raise the money needed to pay off the loan. “We will be executing the second of three car raffles with the help of Royal Palm Auto Mall, which has generously donated three cars to the foundation,” said Maureen Gross, director of develop-ment for the foundation. “We had great success with our first raffle and expect the same for the one we are currently executing in 2010.”

In addition to the car raffle, the foundation is planning four Women in Business programs, a community fitness run, a charity golf tournament and a large silent auction. “It is our hope that through the efforts of our volunteers and supporters, we will be able to pay off the loan in five years,” Gross said.

The chamber’s new headquarters represents the organization’s mission to improve the quality of life in central Palm Beach County through programs that advance the educational, cultural and economic inter-ests of the community.

Demographics Now




THE ACREAGE/INDIAN TRAILThe Acreage is a sprawling rural residential community north and west of Royal Palm Beach consisting of more than 17,000 lots, each about 1.25 acres. Its estimated 45,000 residents value open spaces and the ambiance of equestrian and rural lifestyles. The community is home to four elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school. The Acreage/Loxahatchee area is governed by the Indian Trail Improvement District, which maintains 500 miles of canals, provides roads and drainage services, and operates a network of nine parks, including the 40-acre Acreage Community Park and the seven-acre Hamlin Equestrian Park. The Indian Trail Improvement District Board of Supervisors is made up of five popularly elected supervisors who in turn hire a district manager to run day-to-day affairs.

GREENACRESThe City of Greenacres covers more than five square miles in central Palm Beach County and is home to more than 32,370 residents. It offers easy access to the beaches, Interstate 95 and Florida’s Turnpike. The community was founded in 1923 by Lawrence Carter Swain and officially incorporated in 1926, making it one of the oldest municipalities in the county. It continues to be one of the fastest-growing communities in South Florida. The city has a council/manager form of government with an elected mayor and five council members. Public safety is a priority. A central station and a sub-station house the combined police, fire protection and emergency medical services. The community is also proud of its extensive Leisure Services Department, which operates 12 parks, a busy community center and provides dozens of diverse recreational and educational programs.

LOXAHATCHEE GROVESThe rural enclave of Loxahatchee Groves is cradled between Wellington to the south, Royal Palm Beach to the east and The Acreage to the north and west. A mixture of five-acre and ten-acre lots, Loxahatchee Groves is home to more than 3,200 resi-dents who prefer wide-open spaces. One of the oldest communities in the county, it is also the county’s newest municipality. In order to protect its unique country lifestyle, residents voted in 2006 to incorporate as the Town of Loxahatchee Groves. The first five-member town council was elected in March 2007. Nurseries are prevalent in Loxahatchee Groves and represent the community’s top industry. Many residents keep livestock animals, including a strong equestrian community.

ROYAL PALM BEACHEncompassing 11.5 square miles in central Palm Beach County, Royal Palm Beach is home to nearly 32,000 residents. It is governed by an elected mayor and four council members. Incorporated in 1959, the Village of Royal Palm Beach was cited by the U.S. Census Bureau as the nation’s fastest-growing community in the 1980s. Royal Palm Beach today features a great diversity of housing opportunities. The village offers something for everyone within the village’s many neighbor-hoods of condominiums and single-family homes. The village runs an impressive park system, along with a cultural center and recreation center. A new “central park” is under construction along Royal Palm Beach Blvd. A 747-acre nature pre-serve with hiking and equestrian trails borders the northwest corner of the village. From its established central shopping district to a network of new shopping centers along State Road 7, Royal Palm Beach is also known as the business hub of the western communities.

COMMUNITY PROFILES

WELLINGTONWith a population approaching 60,000 residents, the Wellington is now the fifth-largest municipality in Palm Beach County. Founded in the early 1970s on land once owned by New York accounting magnate C. Oliver Wellington, the community remains the largest single planned development ever approved in Palm Beach County. It was incorporated in 1996 and is run by a council-manager form of government with an elected mayor and four elected council members. Wellington’s vision is centered around “quality of life,” including a strong emphasis on family, recreation, education and public safety. Its strict com-prehensive plan requires one of the most demanding per-capita recreation requirements in all of Florida. The plan also protects Wellington’s sprawling southern reaches as the Equestrian Preserve Area. Among rolling horse farms is the Palm Beach Inter-national Equestrian Center and the International Polo Club Palm Beach, making Wellington the “winter equestrian capital of the world.”

GOVERNMENT



They sit like the cornerstones of the community — silent, but ready to serve. There when you need them. Reassuring when you don’t.

Wellington Regional Medical Center and Palms West Hospital both provide peace of mind and much-needed jobs for residents of the western communities. And the phy-sicians, employees and advisors at both institutions embrace advances in healthcare as well as those in technology. This willingness and ability to stay on the cutting edge is what puts the region’s medical community at the forefront of healthcare in Palm Beach County.

Just imagine — your chest suddenly feels tight; you’re having difficulty breathing and you feel light-headed.

But the pain is not crushing. Could you be having a heart attack? Whether or not you are, this is not the time to self-diagnose. This is the time to take action!

From the moment a clot blocks the flow of blood to the heart, the heart muscle begins to die. Time is precious. an angioplasty is needed to unblock the artery, and the sooner the procedure is done, the better the chances of survival.

The doctors at the Cardiac Cath Lab at Wellington regional

Medical Center have been performing comprehensive inter-ventional procedures since 2009, saving lives and preventing damage through their ability to act quickly.

The cardiac catheterization staff, on call 24 hours a day, con-sists of a team of highly skilled interventional cardiologists, cardiac nurses and technicians who specialize in restoring blood flow to the heart using minimally invasive techniques. The goal is to unblock the artery within 90 minutes from the time the patient sets foot into the emergency room.

once transferred to the Cardiac Cath Lab, the exact loca-

tion of the blockage is ascertained and a cath-eter threaded into the blood vessel. The clot will then be flattened against the walls of the vessel using a tiny balloon or vacuumed out. a scaffold-like stent may be inserted to prop open the artery.

yet not every cardiac catheterization patient comes in through the doors of the er. Some-times the procedure is merely done to provide a closer picture of the heart and blood vessels to see if treatment is warranted. either way, Wellington regional Medical Center has the equipment, protocols and staff necessary.

Board-certified interventional cardiologist Dr. Neerav Shah is Chief of Interventional Cardi-ology at WrMC and a partner in Cardiology Partners together with Dr. Chandra Venugo-pal, Dr. amarnath Vedere, Dr. Mauricio Melhado, Dr. Jean Foucauld, Dr. eliezer her-nandez and Dr. Duccio Baldari.

If you’re a woman in need of a hysterec-tomy, you’ll want to know that at Palms West Hospital, the newly implemented

3D da Vinci Robotic Surgical System has revolutionized the world of laparoscopy, giv-ing surgeons who use the robotic “hands” un-precedented control. The robot is capable of performing prostate, lung and cardiac surger-ies, although Palms West Hospital currently uses it for gynecological procedures only.

Paired with a computer, the robotic system replicates the doctor’s movements as he or she works at a console just a few feet away from the patient. The incision is smaller, the dexter-ity better and the results safer.

Where a laparoscopic camera was previously subject to the fatigue and directional naviga-

tion of the attendant holding it, the da Vinci robotic system has two built-in cameras that provide the medical team with a three-di-mensional view of the surgery as it happens. In addition, that image can be magnified up to 10 times on the computer screen, giving physicians an unprecedented view as they work.

Best of all, rather than needing three to four days to recover from traditionally more in-vasive “open” surgery, women who undergo hysterectomies with the robotic system’s key-

hole-sized incision experience less blood loss and less pain and are often able to go home the next day.

Physicians currently performing robotic sur-gery at Palms West hospital are: Dr. Josh ackerman, Dr. David adler, Dr. Colette Brown-Graham, Dr. George emerick, Dr. Samuel Falzone, Dr. Seth herbst, Dr. Gregory Latchaw, Dr. Daxa Patel, Dr. Steven Pliskow and Dr. Moises Virelles.

Also serving the Palms West area is Palm Beach County’s newest hos-pital, Lakeside Medical Center in

Belle Glade. Lakeside celebrated its one-year anniversary on Oct. 15, 2010.

The 70-bed, all-private-room hospital, owned and operated by the health Care District of Palm Beach County, was completed in octo-ber 2009, four months ahead of schedule and $10 million under budget.

The hospital serves nearly 40,000 residents in the western Palm Beach County communi-ties bordering Lake okeechobee and the sur-rounding towns.

In its first year, Lakeside Medical Center served an increasing number of patients. The hospital handled nearly 23,000 emergency room visits, performed more than 1,400 sur-geries and cared for over 14,000 outpatients. More than 550 babies were born at the hos-pital.

“We are pleased that the community is uti-lizing its new hospital,” hospital adminis-trator Brian Gibbons Jr. said. “our residents recognize the benefits of Lakeside Medical Center’s skilled, compassionate staff, our ad-vanced technology and our conveniently lo-cated medical campus.”

over the past year, grant funding enabled


the hospital to launch initiatives to improve the health and well-being of the community. among them are a $900,000 grant from the Florida’s agency for health Care administra-tion for a graduate resident training program, $237,000 from the Florida Department of health for a comprehensive tobacco-cessa-tion program and $16,000 from the South Florida affiliate of Susan G. komen for the Cure supporting lifesaving mammograms to underinsured and uninsured Palm Beach County residents who qualify.

“We are proud of the quality of care that is delivered at Lakeside Medical Center, and we celebrate the success of the hospital’s first year,” health Care District Ceo Dwight Chenette said. “By operating Palm Beach County’s only public hospital, the health Care District ad-vances its mission of enhancing the healthcare delivery system for all county residents.”

Economic development is a key function of the Palms West Chamber of Commerce, and an evalu-ation of the industries that operate in central Palm Beach County placed the medical community as one of the top three industries in both economic im-pact and employment. This has led the chamber to focus on that industry by launching a Medical Com-mittee and creating programming of interest to this

important economic engine.

“It is our responsibility to make sure the chamber maintains a high profile in promoting the expansion and retention of our existing businesses while fostering an environment that attracts new business to our region,” Palms West Chamber CEO Jaene Miranda said. “As a community, we want to be self sustaining. As a key leadership organization for the area, we need to work closely with our community leaders to help identify and evaluate the types of businesses with growth potential.”

This philosophy has gained support among leaders in the medical field.

“It is imperative that our chamber help meet the needs of one of the larg-est stakeholders in our community,” said Bland Eng, CEO of Palms West Hospital and the chamber’s chairman-elect. “The formation of the Palms West Chamber’s Medical Committee is the start to our effort. Developing the right initiatives for the committee is crucial. However, trying to cre-ate programs in a vacuum without the direct knowledge of what is needed would be futile.”

In July 2009, the chamber conducted a focus group with several of the area’s prominent medical community leaders to help formulate ideas that would be valuable to both the industry as a whole and to the individual businesses. As a direct result of the focus group, Dr. Jeffrey Bishop, Dr. Kishore Dass, Dr. Shekhar Sharma, Dr. David Soria and Dr. Maureen Whelihan, along with Bland Eng, Bruce White, PT and then Chamber Chairman and Wellington Regional Medical Center CEO Kevin DiLallo agreed to serve as the Board of Managers of the newly formed Medical Committee, which will provide programming relating to education, networking, marketing and advocacy.

As 2010 comes to a close, the chamber has nearly 200 members taking part in the Medi-cal Committee program. Many events are being planned for the upcoming year, which will continue to facilitate networking among the physicians and to connect local physicians with the business community and the public at large.

The committee is also developing an edu-cational component to the chamber’s offer-ings, including CME classes for nurses and doctors, business management seminars and lunch forums on topics relating to the medi-cal field.

To launch the education component, the chamber tackled the controversial national healthcare reform program. A record crowd was in attendance at the chamber’s August 2009 discussion on the subject to hear a panel of representatives from the healthcare indus-try — including community leaders, physi-cians, hospital administrators, and health insurance industry and small business rep-resentatives — discuss different viewpoints on the proposed healthcare reform bill. That program was followed up in October 2010 as aspects of the new healthcare law began to take effect.

With the addition of the new chamber build-ing and its comfortable conference rooms, the organization now has the venue to pro-vide the medical community with the con-tinuing education credit program included as part of the committee’s mission. “Members of the Board of Managers will be working closely with the chamber to put this program together for 2011,” said Bruce White of Gold Coast Physical Therapy Association. “Many business organizations like my own have the ability to provide this service to the chamber. I personally look forward to taking the lead on this for the committee.”

It has been a longstanding tradition for lo-cal hospitals to be involved with the cham-ber through marketing programs and special events. The Medical Committee has helped to open up that market to area physicians. Dr. Harvey Montijo and his partners at the

Center for Bone & Joint Surgery of the Palm Beaches were the first to jump in through their involvement with SalsaFest, one of the chamber’s signature events held annually in the City of Greenacres.

“I have had the fortune of building my busi-ness here,” Dr. Montijo said. “Part of my suc-cess can be directly attributed to my ability to market my business to the local residents and physicians through personal involvement with worthwhile organizations and commu-nity efforts. The community has responded very positively. I look at my support of local chamber events as a means to teach others that marketing locally through grassroots ef-forts sends a positive message and is a great way to increase your company awareness.”

Montijo’s example has been contagious. Dr. Krishna Tripuraneni, a noted gastroenterolo-gist and community leader, stepped up as the presenting sponsor for the Royal Palm Art & Music Festival in Royal Palm Beach. “As busi-ness owners looking to improve our bottom line, expanding our reach to new customers is always critically important,” Dr. Tripuraneni said. “Involvement in local chamber events provides our medical business an opportunity to meet our residents out in our community, not under the stress of a doctor’s visit. Our hope is that when they need the services we provide, they will think of us.”

Chamber officials hope the Medical Com-mittee and its membership base will grow into a large, vibrant segment of the chamber family.

“We look forward to meeting the needs of the medical community under the guidance of the Board of Managers,” Miranda said. “We are also very encouraged by the assimi-lation of this committee into the Economic Development Task Force initiatives designed to maintain our community lifestyle by creat-ing high-quality and sustainable service cen-ters that promote employment opportuni-ties. Our participation in advocacy issues like the Wellington Medical Arts District will be critical in completing the true mission of the committee.”

The objective for the first year was clear — develop the networking component with the ultimate objective of building up the com-mittee membership that would be partak-ing in future opportunities presented by the Board of Managers. “With the help of HSBC Bank and the leadership at our two anchor hospitals, the chamber was able to present three networking events to the local area phy-sicians, medical specialists and supporting businesses,” Miranda said.

Occasionally, sporting events and practices don’t go exactly as planned. And the baby boomers are aging, whether they like it or not. For those who need care for an injury or those unwilling to suffer with aches and pains that can be fixed, a call to Dr. Harvey Montijo can help.

Story by Deborah Welky

Whether the discomfort caused by the simple flexing of a muscle is a degenerative condition of bones and joints or the result of a serious injury to the musculoskeletal system, Dr. Montijo can diagnose the problem and outline options for solutions.

Harvey Montijo, MD is an orthopedic surgeon at the Wellington-based Center for Bone & Joint Sur-gery of the Palm Beaches. A graduate of the Univer-sity of Puerto Rico School of Medicine in San Juan, Dr. Montijo received his doctor of orthopedic surgery designation at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medi-cal Center.

At the Center for Bone & Joint Surgery, com-passionate and state-of-the-art orthopedic care is the hallmark of the practice. Dr. Montijo founded the practice in 1991 and, today, a staff of 14 highly skilled, board-certified and board-eligible surgeons is available to address a wide range of problems affect-ing all parts of the body.

“As an orthopedic surgeon, 90 percent of the time my practice deals with artificial hips, knees and total joint replacement, together with some minor sports in-juries,” Dr. Montijo explained. “When a patient comes in, the first thing we do is evaluate them and check their activity levels. Then, before considering surgery, we might try different medications, anti-inflammato-ries or injections — sometimes joint fluid therapy or cortisone injections.”

Other treatments short of surgery include spe-cially formulated lubrication for joints to ease the pain.

“We take platelet-rich plasma from the patient, spin the blood and replace it into joints,” Dr. Montijo said. “The effects of that can last six months to a year. There’s also physical therapy and, if all that fails, then we’re looking at artificial hips or knees.”

Dr. Montijo said these “replacement parts” are made of cobalt chrome or titanium with a polyethyl-ene insert. “A total hip replacement can last 20 to 30 years,” he said. “Knees last about 20 years.”

The Center for Bone & Joint Surgery also spe-cializes in osteoporosis management. Dr. Montijo advises women who are perimenopausal, especially if they have previously suffered a bone fracture, to be

screened. Most females will lose 20 percent of their bone mass within the first five years following menopause. Thirty percent of men will also experience bone thinning.

An ultrasound heel scanner gives physi-cians an idea how bad the osteoporosis is and, depending on the person’s fracture his-tory, dictates treatment. Medication is avail-able by mouth or through a new twice-yearly injection.

Other physicians at the Center for Bone & Joint Surgery work with patients in an “ul-timate wellness” program for age manage-ment, which can include weight loss, hormonal bal-ancing and some aesthetics.

Complete orthopedic care implementing the lat-est advancements in both surgical and non-surgical treatment options is tailored to each patient’s unique problem and circumstance. The Center for Bone & Joint Surgery specializes in orthopedic treatments that include arthroscopy and minimally invasive sur-gery, joint reconstruction, diabetic foot care, the treat-ment of spine and neck conditions, and full or partial replacements of ankles, hips, knees and shoulders. They also do trauma and fracture repair and deal with many sports-related injuries to hands, wrists, feet and ankles.

In addition to being an accredited on-site surgi-cal center, the Center for Bone & Joint Surgery also offers x-ray services and an ACR-accredited MRI fa-cility; wound care and casting; EMG/NCV (nerve test-ing); and physical therapy, occupational therapy and aqua therapy, all with certified trainers.

The Center for Bone & Joint Surgery seeks to em-power their patients in a positive, welcoming environ-ment as they help them reach individual goals of in-creased function and independence, helping people return to their normal routines and favorite activities as quickly as safely possible.

The Center for Bone & Joint Surgery of the Palm Beaches is located at 10131 W. Forest Hill Blvd., Suite 206, in Wellington. For further information, or to make an appointment with Dr. Montijo, call (561) 798-6600.

If ever there was an organization on the “cutting edge” of technolo-gy, it is Palm Beach Surgical Associates — and that’s a good thing. Keeping current in the field has kept this practice in great demand. They can handle everything from general surgery and wound care to the intricacies of vascular (vein) surgery.

And here’s another good thing — with the medi-cal advances made over the last 10 years, almost every surgery performed at Palm Beach Surgical As-sociates is minimally invasive. Most procedures are accomplished with a minimum incision, and patients often go home the next day.

“It’s a world of difference,” Dr. Arul Chidambaram said. “Patients who used to need a breathing ma-chine after surgery are now able to walk out of the hospital. Where open-heart surgery used to be the norm, now we go in, put in a catheter, a balloon and a stent and they go home. Very few patients have open-heart surgery. Things are changing.”

Even breast surgery is being done differently with most of the natural breast left intact. “Breast surgery used to mean taking off the whole breast,” Dr. Chi-dambaram recalled. “Now we are able to just take a piece and leave the breast as shapefully as can be.”

Appendectomies as well as gall bladder and co-lon surgeries are all done with very little damage to the skin and very little scarring.

“I just returned from a conference of the Ameri-can Cardio Surgeons in Washington, D.C. and was pleased to see that we are up to the mark,” Dr. Chidambaram said of Palm Beach Surgical Associ-ates. “I did learn that gall bladder surgery, already minimally invasive with only four small cuts needed, can now be done with just one slightly larger cut. I’m going to start that in the next couple of weeks. I have to get a special instrument first. But that’s the good thing about our group practice — we’re up on the latest advances.”

Dr. Chidambaram studied in India and England before completing a year of fellowship training in

minimally invasive surgery at the Cleveland Clinic in Fort Lauderdale. “Small vessel sur-gery is what I trained in and what I have al-ways wanted to do,” he said.

Being a vascular surgeon as well as a general surgeon, Dr. Chidambaram has a particular interest in people who are on di-alysis.

“I am looking at the blood supply to the legs and to the brain related to the carotid arteries and lymph system,” he explained. “People on dialysis need special access through their veins. Dialysis doesn’t last forever. They have ongoing problems and many need a transplant.”

Most patients come to Palm Beach Surgical As-sociates by way of referral from their primary doctor or insurance company, but others have heard about the group and seek it out.

Palm Beach Surgical Associates deals with problems relating to the gall bladder, stomach, co-lon, thyroid, parathyroid and breast; aortic, arterial and carotid disease; anal/rectal disorders; amputa-tion; aortic aneurysm repair; surgical oncology; and stroke prevention.

“We’re all partners. We go help each other and help each other’s patients. We are a family — and financial partners as well,” Dr. Chidambaram con-cluded.

Palm Beach Surgical Associates is located at 1397 Medical Park Blvd., Suite 100, on the Wel-lington Regional Medical Center campus. Call (561) 798-1515 for more information. The practice also has offices in Atlantis at 160 JFK Drive, Suite 204. The phone number there is (561) 964-2211.

With the medical

advancesmade over the past 10 years, almost all of the surgeries performed at Palm Beach

is minimally invasive.

RichaRd Rendina ofRendina companies



Rendina Companies is known nationwide as the go-to real estate development company for large projects, particularly those in the medical field. Rendina Companies partners with each healthcare organization to build a custom-designed structure specific to that organization’s needs, obtains the financing necessary for the proj-ect and offers doctors ownership in a portion of that project.

rendina Companies: National leaders in medical real estate development

Bruce Rendina is the name that immediately comes to mind whenever longtime Palms West Chamber of Commerce members hear the phrase “Rendina Com-panies.” An enthusiastic board member and chamber treasurer, Bruce was widely mourned upon his passing in 2007. Yet, thanks in part to his extraordinary fore-sight and planning, Rendina Companies continues to grow and thrive, even in today’s difficult economy.

Bruce’s sons Richard and Michael Rendina as-sumed leadership of the organization after Bruce’s death, aided by the wealth of experience of the per-sonnel behind them. “Rendina Companies has not changed significantly since losing Bruce,” said Execu-tive Vice President Todd Varney, an 18-year company veteran. “We made a smooth transition with Richard and Michael and continued under the same platform, partnering with physicians. Much of the same man-agement team has remained intact. It was a business model that Bruce created and that we’ve continued with some modifications for today’s marketplace.”

As vice president of business development, Var-ney describes his job as being “out on the front lines — meeting with healthcare clients, structuring deals and bringing in new development opportunities for our company.”

These opportunities have made Rendina Com-panies responsible for the building of over six million square feet of medical, office, retail and condo space throughout 16 states. Company experience and de-pendability are two of the reasons. For instance:

• The 72,000-square-foot Centennial Medical Arts Pavilion built in Frisco, Texas was fully leased before the completion of the hospital it was meant to serve, and the second pavilion was completed two years ahead of schedule.

• A 60,000-square-foot on-campus medical office building in Glendale, Calif. was completed on time and under budget for Catholic Healthcare West Hos-pital, even though a city street intersected the site.

• Two 50,000-square-foot medical pavilions in Des Peres, Mo. were designed to reach maximum potential while coexisting with the natural environ-

ment due to the fact that the project con-tained a protected waterway.

• In the remote location of Palmer, Alaska a 62,000-square-foot medical office building was put on the fast-track and 100-percent pre-leased prior to its completion. “Rendina worked with our hospital staff and physi-cians to develop a spectacular building and did it clear up in Alaska without delays or surprises,” said Norman Stephens, CEO of the Mat-Su Regional Medical Center.One of Rendina Companies’ larger proj-

ects took place in Phoenix, Ariz., where Pavilions I & II of the Biltmore Medical Mall boast a combined 442,000 square feet of medical office space and an accompa-nying 806-space parking garage.

Closer to home, they have just completed their fourth pavilion on the campus of Wellington Regional Medical Center — a 50,000-square-foot structure that is home to a mix of physician specialties with an ob/gyn group taking one whole floor.

But not everything Rendina Companies does is healthcare-related. Waterfront properties at 1 North Clematis and 101 North Clematis house professional office space, condos, retail space and a parking ga-rage. In Abacoa, across from Roger Dean Stadium, Rendina Companies is reaching completion on profes-sional office space for G4S/Wackenhut.

And there’s more development ahead. With the western communities having recently received ap-proval from Palm Beach County to establish a medical arts district in Wellington, Rendina Companies will, no doubt, be first on the scene, particularly if the hoped-for medical college is included as part of the plan.

“The western communities — that’s where our busi-ness was born and, while we’ve developed projects in 16 states, we’re still very closely tied to our home and we’re proud to be developers here,” Varney said.

Bruce Rendina would be pleased.The headquarters of Rendina Companies is lo-

cated at 661 University Blvd., Suite 200, in Jupiter. For info., call (561) 630-5055 or visit www.rendinaco.com.

Schools in the Palms West area of-fer students unique opportunities to get a leg up in life with specialized programs geared toward offering them a better and brighter future, no matter what they choose to do in their life.

area Public Schools offer Students

an elite group of royal Palm beach high School students are getting a head start on their college career with the school’s new excelsior academy, geared toward high-level students. The program takes the school’s best and brightest and puts them on course to take advanced Placement classes, which offer an opportunity for college credit.

The program was given its name excelsior, which means “ever higher,” for the high aca-demic achievements of its students. “it’s a lofti-er group we have in the program,” Principal Je-sus armas said. “We’ve taken some of our elite students and brought them together in one classroom setting, and now we’re providing a rigorous course offering for them.”

The program is offered only to students zoned for rPbhS — it is not a choice school, armas

stressed. however, students in other choice programs may choose to take some of the courses.

The selection process begins when the seventh grade reading and math scores come out. Stu-dents are given the opportunity to enroll if they have a score of four in both reading and math, and pass an entrance exam.

but armas said that as the program grows, a stricter minimum requirement may be imple-mented. “When we reach capacity, the re-quirements may increase,” he said. “We will begin looking at two years’ worth of FCat scores, because i really believe that it’s only a matter of time before that program is bursting at the seams.”

The academy’s flagship class has 26 students en-rolled, and armas said the recruiting process is already underway for next year. “This year, we

took a list of our incoming freshmen and took a look at their seventh-grade scores,” he said.

Students who met the initial requirements were invited to a meeting in July, and 28 re-turned to take an entrance exam required for the program.

once in the program, the students will take a predetermined set of core classes that empha-size greater learning. aside from electives, all 26 students attend the same classes, creating a supportive environment. “The teachers abso-lutely love the class,” armas said. “i hear noth-ing but great things about what they’re doing in the classroom and the level of work they are producing.”

Though any student could elect to take the same aP classes, the excelsior academy con-cept is designed to enhance that sense of com-munity.


Education

“These students will all be together when they take those courses as much as the schedule will allow,” armas said. “The core of their classes, and the majority of their schedule, will be dic-tated by the fact that they go together and have the same teachers. and we can bring those teachers together for integrated planning.”

Students begin freshman year with aP human geography and increase the amount of aP each year. once they reach senior year, a student could take as many as four or five aP classes, armas said.

“This academy is about serving the needs of the community,” armas said. “royal Palm beach needed an elite school to provide the oppor-

said. “We’d love to be able to take more stu-dents, but we’re limited by the space we have.”

The program provides students an opportunity to get real-life experience in the biotechnology field. in their classes, students learn to create polymer chains, replicate dna and even clone genes.

“We’re preparing our students for jobs that don’t even exist yet,” Mcgee said. “you have to teach thinking skills, how to integrate biol-ogy and technology, and the love of looking for answers. They have to know how to think, because the jobs of the future are going to be thinking jobs.”

These skills are transferrable to almost any area of science, academy Coordinator John Walker said.

“i think the hands-on skills that they learn here really can take them into anything — it could be medical, it could be research based,” he said. “These skills could transfer into any-thing they decide to do in the medical or sci-ence fields.”

recently the program received national rec-ognition when a project by freshmen Melanie bean, berenice Cortez, Megan Crumb and rosemary Murra won the u.S. army’s annual eCybermission Challenge.

tunities for what we want it to be. We want it to be a beacon for our community. We want el-ementary and middle school students to want to be Wildcats.”

at Seminole ridge high School’s bio-technology academy, students are getting a hands-on, real-life look into the future of science. The four-year program provides excellent research, critical thinking and scientific reasoning skills.

The program came to life when the Scripps re-search institute announced it would be moving to Palm beach County, perhaps to the western communities.

“Since [Scripps] was originally to be moved out to the western communities, we were the closest high school under construction at the time,” Principal Lynne Mcgee said. “So it was decided that instead of a home economics department, we would offer a biotechnology program.”

While Scripps actually set up shop further east, the SrhS biotech program still works closely with the company.

each year, many students apply for the pro-gram, but the school accepts only 96 of the top applicants, Mcgee said. The program has fewer than 400 students total.

“We have a waiting list every year to get in,” she

makeup, beat more than 13,000 other students in the web-based science, math and technol-ogy competition in which student teams in grades six through nine propose a solution to a real problem in their community.

and what helps the program excel, Mcgee said, is its staff of experienced teachers.

“our teachers have worked at Scripps,” she said. “That gives them an insight into what it’s like in the business world, and what our stu-dents have to know to be able to be successful in future jobs.”

Lead teacher Lyn Slygh noted that the biotech program gives students an advantage when they get to college.

“The feedback i get from students who have already gone off to college is that, in their labo-ratory classes, they are so far above everyone,” Slygh said. “They know how to use all the equipment; they’re familiar with following procedures. They realize now the advantage they had.”

in line with looking toward the future, Pine Jog elementary School is pushing its students toward a greener tomorrow with its Leadership in energy & environmen-tal design (Leed) gold Certified facility that places an emphasis on environmental conservation.

Florida’s first Leed gold Certified school, Pine Jog boasts 150 acres of woodlands with three miles of nature trails, solar panels, a hy-droponics garden and an environmentally minded curriculum that ensures the school and its students will leave a smaller carbon footprint now and in the future.

“Students do a lot of outdoor learning,” Prin-cipal Fred barch said. “hands-on learning is a great way to teach science.”

in the school’s courtyard is a small forest that acts as an outdoor classroom. here, students can observe caterpillars turn to butterflies in the butterfly garden, go on nature walks and

observe and learn about Florida’s native plants.

“We try to emphasize outdoor ac-tivities,” barch said. “Kids are sup-posed to be outdoors, and we plan to add as many outdoor areas for them to explore as we can.”

another opportunity for students to learn about nature is in the hy-droponics garden. The school grows approximately 4,000 plants each year using excess rainwater collected in water drums through-out the school. The garden is made up of rows of Styrofoam pots, each containing four plants of a variety of vegetables and fruits.

“twenty plants in our garden use less water than one in the ground,” he said. “our first year, students made $4,000 selling the produce we grew. We grow 1,500 strawberries through-out the year. We pick and freeze them. Then in February, we have our Strawberry Festival.”

The garden is the largest of its kind anywhere in Florida. each child gets the opportunity to plant in the garden, barch said, and last year students got the chance to leave their own mark on the school by planting their very own tree. “We believe that every child should be included,” barch said. “Last year, students planted 1,013 trees that will be there for the

rest of their lives. every tree will represent one of our children.”

even the school itself is a measure of green technology. There are 69 solar panels on the front of the school to provide renewable energy. inside, there is polished concrete used in the halls and re-cycled products throughout, such as benches made with recycled glass bottles and a playground with ground up tire for its foot-ing. The green features give the school a payback of approximate-ly $7,000 a year, barch noted.

Flat-panel displays throughout the school show how much ener-

gy the school is using at any given time, which gives students a better understanding of how they impact the environment on a daily basis.

“it shows students how much energy the school is producing versus how much they are using,” barch said.

Pine Jog even emphasizes green technology outside of the school. The school has a used golf cart that runs off solar panels hooked up to its batteries. “it recharges it-self,” barch said.

additionally, barch himself drives a modified Mercedes-benz that runs on vegetable oil. The car was donated by the Scripps research institute and was modified by Park Vista high School’s auto department during a project dubbed Project green benz.

More important than the structure of the school is the school’s everyday dedication to maintaining a greener lifestyle. Students are constantly presented with ways to make greener, healthier choices, barch said.

every classroom has recycling and students are encour-aged to collect old batteries, electronics, school sup-plies, books and other items to be donated, reused or recycled.

“They’re taught the very beginnings of recycling,” barch said. “We have a recycling program during lunch and students learn what goes where and why recycling is im-portant.”

The Palms West Chamber of Commerce’s Eco-nomic Development Task Force seeks to map an economic future for the region that will create and protect jobs while maintaining the unique character of the Palms West communities.

Current Palms West Chamber Chairman Car-mine Priore III has volunteered to chair the task force. The members of the task force include governmental leaders from Wellington, Royal Palm Beach, Greenacres, Loxahatchee Groves, The Acreage and Palm Beach County, along with other key regional stakeholders.

Economic Development

Chamber Task Force Aims To Bring Communities Together

By Ron Bukley

“This is truly bringing different groups of people together to work as a team and develop the opportunities to further expand and develop our area and allow it to economically prosper,” Priore said.

The goal is to create strength through one unified organization, Pri-ore said. “We refer to our region now as the ‘Heart of Palm Beach County,’” he said.

Priore stressed that participation in the task force concept is not limit-ed to the panel’s membership. “We invite and encourage participation from the community,” he said.

Susan Giddings, the chamber’s vice chair for economic development, has been impressed by what the initiative has accomplished already. one key objective is to help the region retain the family-friendly envi-ronment that brought residents here in the first place.

“We’ve all got to be working together as a group,” Giddings said. “one of the most fantastic things about our region is the uniqueness of it, the difference of these communities, the lifestyle you can have if you’re in Royal Palm or The Acreage, or loxahatchee or Wellington or Greenacres.”

To Create Jobs

Among the business leaders working with the Economic Development Task Force are: (L-R) Dorian Zimmer, general manager of the Mall at Wellington Green; Bland Eng, CEO of Palms West Hospital; Susan Giddings, the chamber’s vice chair for economic development; Palms West Chamber of Commerce Chairman Carmine Priore III; accountant John Spillane; attorney Frank Gonzalez; and Jody Gleason, executive director of the Palm Beach County Education Commission. image by bill barbosa/photo designs inc.


Priore said the task force will help carry out his primary goals during his year as chamber chairman.

“one of the opportunities I have as chairman of the chamber is to provide areas of focus and objectives for 2010-11,” he said. “The three areas that I feel very passionate about is, first, economic development; second, educa-tion; and third, leadership… The bottom line is that economic development is a primary focus in providing opportunity.”

Priore said the effort will both bring in new businesses and help existing businesses in their current location or expand into other locations in the area.

one key goal of the task force includes secur-ing more area employment centers with a fo-cus on cutting-edge and emerging industries. early successes in this area have been to get local governments to streamline development processes and identify “shovel-ready” land.

Dorian Zimmer, general manager of the Mall at Wellington Green, became involved with the economic Development Task Force after seeing a need for a primary resource to help stimulate economic development.

“The purpose of the task force is to develop a goal-oriented five-year and 10-year plan to sustain and encourage economic growth,” she said. “The main focus will be business reten-tion and expansion. our goal is to create a vi-sion for what this growth plan should be and still expound on the uniqueness and diversity of all of our communities.”

Attorney Frank Gonzalez, vice chair of the task force, has long been interested in the economic health of the region. “I have been a proponent of developing a strategic plan to not only survive the existing economic down-turn, but to provide the foundation for con-tinued growth,” he said.

Some associate economic development with uncontrolled growth, but Gonzalez said that the task force’s goal is sustainability through controlled and directed growth. “My vision

Economic Developmentfor our region is not to abandon the family-oriented quality of our communities that drew many of us here initially,” he said. “In-stead, we should embrace it, not sacrifice it, and build around those industries and eco-nomic centers already in place.”

For example, Gonzalez was enthusiastic about Wellington’s plans to build on the region’s already strong system of hospitals and other healthcare infrastructure through a medical arts district.

Bland eng, Ceo of Palms West Hospital, also feels that healthcare is crucial to the area’s future. “Although healthcare has changed dramatically in the past few years and will continue to do so in the future, one constant remains — healthcare and its various facets will be a vital part of our local community’s present and future economy,” he said.

Accountant John Spillane works with the task force representing the chamber’s economic development committee.

“I believe that it is really important to plan what our communities will look like over the next 30 years,” he said. “It is my hope that if all of the government officials and business leaders intentionally plan what industries and educational facilities we will need, working together we can continue to enjoy the family lifestyle that we call our home.”

Working with local governments to promote economic development has been central to the work of the task force. each of the local municipalities has representatives on the task force.

Wellington Village Manager Paul Schofield is glad to have the chamber’s support for one of his community’s central economic develop-ment projects — the development of a medi-cal arts district centered around Wellington Regional Medical Center.

“What is interesting to see is that as a commu-nity, the private sector, individuals and busi-nesses have come together and taken a look at the future, not just as an individual city, but


all of the western communities,” Schofield said. “People have rolled up their sleeves and are doing things to help make the western communi-ties as a whole a better place.”

Schofield noted that previously, communities such as Wellington, Royal Palm Beach and Greenacres often had competing interests and did not often work together as a group. “Today, all three communities are working together,” he said. “nobody’s agreeing on everything, but we’re talking in ways that are not just what’s good for my city or for individual businesses, but what’s good for everybody in the long run. The task force has been an instrumental part of that.”

loxahatchee Groves Vice Mayor Dennis lipp also commended the ef-fort. “I think it’s a great idea,” he said. “We have a good group of people who are putting their minds together to come up with some ideas. The north county area did a similar thing and it certainly has paid off for them with Scripps and Max Planck, so I think it’s something we need to do as a community.”

Greenacres Mayor Sam Ferreri noted that economic development has a spillover effect on surrounding communities, which is why a joint task force makes so much sense.

Greenacres is in more of a redevelopment mode, and as such will have slightly different needs than its counterpart communities on the task force. He noted that his council has been working on the lake

Worth corridor redevelopment area, which has raised some conten-tion among members.

“We’ve taken some baby steps, but there’s some concern. I think there is some ability for the task force to actually help me sell some of the ideas to the rest of the council,” Ferreri said.

Another issue the cities can address collectively is traffic performance standards, he said. “Individually, at least three of the four cities have tried to make revisions to the traffic performance standards and failed,” he said. “I think collectively we can work together and develop some things like reverse commuting, where we create jobs along the State Road 7 corridor… therefore reducing the demand to build more roads.”

Royal Palm Beach Village Manager Ray liggins supports the effort wholeheartedly. “The effort, the goals and working together are going to be good for everybody,” he said. “Hopefully they will get a lot of positive results from it.”

Royal Palm Beach held a workshop recently in coordination with the chamber inviting members of the business community to offer input on how the village can help businesses in light of the difficult econo-my. “We’re trying to relax the code and look at things differently,” lig-gins said. “We really need to be more business friendly in these tough economic times.”

Parks & Recreation

By Ron Bukley

Recreational amenities are an important element of the Palms West area, and local municipalities are regularly improving what they have to offer residents.

To The Palms West CommunitiesRecreational Amenities Important

in Wellington, the newest recreation facility to join the village’s impressive roster is the Wellington environmental Preserve at marjory stoneman Douglas everglades Habitat. it is a combina-

tion of recreation area, flood control structure, water filtration marsh and environmental preservation. located at the southwestern fringe of the village, people who are familiar with the history of the 420-acre wetland simply refer to it as section 24.

“section 24 does a lot of things,” Wellington Village manager Paul schofield said. “The recreational aspect is one part of it. it’s a very im-portant part. People can get in and see a viable wetland in there. it’s a created habitat. There are trails and educational opportunities. There are horse trails, and you can get in on foot.”

Wellington officials are pondering whether to allow canoes and kay-aks, and that is one feature that might be available sometime in the future. “There’s 420 acres of really unique habitat out there,” schofield said. “We’re already beginning to see an explosion in the animal popu-lation. There are fish and gators. We’ve seen bobcats out there. it’s an amazing place.”

The recreational component is a by-product of its primary purpose, which is flood control and water filtration. The project was funded with Comprehensive everglades Restoration Project (CeRP) money and one of its primary purposes is to clean water coming out of Basin B, the drainage area that encompasses the southern half of Welling-ton.

schofield said section 24 was utilized during tropical storm nicole for the first time to store water pumped out of Wellington canals. “When we were looking at getting between four and eight inches of rainfall, we didn’t want the put it all out into the West Palm Beach Canal that close to the end of the rainy season,” he said. “For the very first time, we turned the pumps on and started pumping water into section 24… We were able to use section 24 for its major design pur-poses of flood control and water quality.”

schofield said he’s proud Wellington was able to combine the recre-ational and functional components of the preserve. “The fact that you can get such a unique recreational opportunity out of something that had another design is really kind of amazing,” he said.

section 24 was completed on time and on budget in July 2010 and a grand opening was scheduled for november 2010. other amenities include an educational kiosk and multi-story tower on the western portion of the area that provides impressive views.

Royal Palm Beach is now finishing the first phase of the 163-acre Royal Palm Beach Commons Park project. The multi-phase proj-ect is in the process of transforming the shuttered tradition Golf

Course on Royal Palm Beach Blvd. south of okeechobee Blvd. into a large central park with a number of recreational amenities. The initial phase fo-cused on infrastructure work, earth moving and lake digging. “Phase 2 is actually building the park,” Royal Palm Beach Parks & Recreation Direc-tor lou Recchio explained, noting that the bids for that work are set to be awarded in early 2011 with completion by mid to late 2012.

amenities will include a three-story main building with the ground floor for canoes, kayak and bicycle rental. The next floor will be for stores, out-fitters, a snack bar and registrations. The third floor will be a ballroom available for rent for private parties, with a full kitchen.

outside will be a balcony with a 360-degree view of the park. in front of the main building will be an interactive fountain similar to the one at Veterans Park but much larger. in back will be a pavilion for weddings and other affairs.

There will also be a five-acre open grass area large enough to hold 20,000 people, with two playground areas, two sand volleyball courts and several picnic pavilions, some of which will have docks that go into lakes intercon-nected in a waterway system.

The park is also being contoured for a nine-hole, par-three golf course, which will not be completed at the present time. “We’re not going to put in the sand traps, and we’re not going to put in the tee boxes,” Recchio said. “We’re going to make it so it will look like a golf course, but we’re not going to put down Bermuda grass. We will put in bahia grass, which is easier to maintain.”

The open area may be used for various unstructured activities until the time comes that village officials might decide to proceed with the golf course.

about a third of the park will be lakes, which will be stocked for catch-and-release fishing. around the perimeter will be a paved path wide enough to accommodate bicyclists, joggers and walkers. “The park will be for passive uses without ball fields,” Recchio said.

Recent recreational improvements in Greenacres will tie together Greenacres Community Park at Jog Road and 10th avenue north with Freedom Park on Pinehurst Drive. “about two years

ago, we finished construction on an extension of the pathway system in-

side Community Park and extended that out to Pinehurst Drive to the west, which allows people access to Freedom Park,” Greenacres Planning Director tom lanahan said. “This pathway creates a safe pedestrian and bicycle connection between those two parks. This allows those two great parks to work together.”

now, the city is proceeding with an extension of that pathway to reach the sidewalks on 10th avenue. “That’s also going to create a pedestrian connection into liberty Park elementary school to help more kids get to school by walking or riding bicycles,” lanahan said.

Greenacres also plans to double the number of lighted racquetball courts from two to four at the 17-acre Community Park. The expansion will add to the existing six lighted shuffleboard courts, two lighted tennis courts, two children’s playgrounds, a multipurpose field with two clay infields, two gazebos, main pavilion, restrooms, picnic areas with barbecue grills, and exercise stations.

Freedom Park on Pinehurst Drive is 52 acres, with two lighted baseball and soccer fields, jogging, volleyball, gazebo and picnic areas, restrooms and jogging paths. The cost of the pathway addition is $70,000 and the racquetball addition is $90,000. Both projects will be completed in 2011.

t he indian trail improvement District is in the process of mak-ing improvements to its popular equestrian park. The east side of the expanded nicole Hornstein equestrian Park, featuring a

150-foot exercise ring, was dedicated in september 2010. a permanent plaque was affixed to a pavilion at the park during the dedication to Horn-stein, a young acreage resident who died in 2006 after a riding accident. The 13.9-acre park is located on Hamlin Blvd. east of Hall Blvd.

The improvements also include a second riding ring that is 100 feet by 150 feet, itiD administrator tanya Quickel explained. “That is now open and fully available, and the next renovations and improvements in the same park will be on the west side, where indian trail recently purchased a home with a barn,” she said.

The home will be retrofitted to be suitable for community use. “That is being done in conjunction with the seminole Ridge High school Con-struction academy,” Quickel noted. “it will be open and available for use to the public once it is completed.”

Quickel anticipates completion in mid 2011. “We have an architect work-ing with the students,” she said. “it’s a great opportunity for them, and it works out well for us.”

in addition, a shade structure and benches and tables have been ordered for the park. “That park is really nice, and it’s kind of quiet,” Quickel said. “i think a lot of people don’t realize that it’s there. it’s really great, especially for the equestrians.”

Equestrian venues in the Palms West communities are continuing to integrate as permanent, year-round fixtures in the community with a series of improvements that will benefit spectators, equestrians and the community at large.

Story by Lauren Miró

new Season brings

improvements include construction of bigger and better structures and the use of greener technology, as well as updates to existing facili-ties.

at the international Polo Club Palm beach (3667 120th avenue South, Wellington; www.internationalpoloclub.com), guests and sponsors will be able to enjoy a new, perma-nent Grand Marquee Pavilion from which to watch polo this season. The new structure will replace the large tent that previously sat on the edge of the field, President of Club operations John Wash said.

“We are finally replacing the Grand Marquee Pavilion tent and building a permanent struc-ture,” he said. “it will be similar in size to what we previously had with the temporary tent, as

new improvements atWellington’s equestrian Venues

well as in location. it will be used for our guests and sponsors during our field-side Sunday Polo brunch.”

The pavilion will sit slightly elevated above the field and will include an updated patio, giving guests an all-access, field-side view of the ac-tion. The pavilion will also be available to the community for events, from charity galas to birthday parties and weddings, Wash said.

“nearby we are also constructing a wedding gazebo and garden,” he said, noting that it would enable couples to hold a wedding and reception in one location. “it will be the pre-mier banquet and party site in the western communities.”

in addition to exclusive events, the pavilion

will be a site for entertainment, classes and other lifestyle events.

“The building is a multi-use building,” Wash said. “aside from events and catering, we will hold many special exclusive concerts, enter-tainment series and featured lecture lifestyle events for members and their guests. The building can also be used for our larger exer-cise, yoga and spin classes for members during the week.”

The pavilion is currently under construction with plans to be finished in December 2010 — in time for the Jan. 2 opening of the 2011 winter polo season.

The international Polo Club currently has 14 teams primed to play in the high-goal season, almost double from the past two years. addi-tionally, iPC will organize low- and medium-goal polo leagues, as well as individual chuk-kers and a polo school for all levels of play.

each Sunday, the community can enjoy the tra-ditional afternoon match kicking off at 3 p.m. on Piaget Field, but can also enjoy polo games all week. Wash noted that there were over 140 high-goal games last season on international Polo Club property.

Wash said that the increase of teams signed up this year, as well as the construction of the Grand Marquee Pavilion, is an indication of the ongoing progress at the facility.

The grandstands are packed for a high-goal polo match at the International Polo Club Palm Beach.

Equestrian

“The international Polo Club is very commit-ted to not only the sport of polo, but also to the Village of Wellington and all equestrian sports and activities,” he said. “We will constantly look for unique opportunities to continue this progress and betterment.”

Meanwhile, at the Palm beach international equestrian Center, new rings, better footing and other improvements are making the 500-acre facility the premier competitive equestri-an destination in the country.

new show rings with recyclable footing are set to make PbieC one of the greenest show grounds in the country, equestrian Sport Pro-ductions President Michael Stone said.

The facility will have four brand new rings and two that are being redesigned, all with greener footing. a combination of silica sand, felt and fiber, the rings will be environmentally friendly and cause less dust. “The cost of these rings is in the millions of dollars,” Stone said. “[The foot-ing] doesn’t blow away. it holds water, which keeps dust down.”

The new footing will be layered over 12 inch-es of recycled 57 rock and a mesh fabric that acts as a filter for the water that seeps into the ground. “it enhances the drainage, so any water that eventually gets into the everglades or into the waterways is clean,” Stone said.

but the footing isn’t the only new green feature,

equestrian Sport Productions Ceo Mark bel-lissimo noted. The facility also uses solar-pow-ered trash compactors and promotes recycling with bins throughout the show grounds.

“We want to be as green as we can,” bellissimo said, noting that the company is exploring ways to provide filtered water for drinking and thereby cut down on the use of plastic bottles. “We would sell bottles that people can refill. We use probably hundreds of thousands of plastic bottles during the season.”

to make the show grounds more efficient, equestrian Sport Productions will be moving all competition to the north grounds. in the past, competitors have had classes on both grounds. However, the added rings will allow all classes to be held in the same location.

“What we wanted to do is to consolidate the show grounds so that everyone can be up here on the north grounds,” Stone said. “because, if you’re a trainer, it’s very difficult if you have a horse in this ring and a horse in the south grounds. it’s more economical for everybody.”

to reach the south grounds, equestrian Sport Productions Director of Sponsorship Meg Krueger explained, competitors would have to ride along a street, making it both danger-ous and time consuming to get there. “it’s bet-ter for the riders,” she said. “it’s better for our sponsors. and the south grounds will still be available for warming up and stabling.”

The change will make operations smoother and safer, bellissimo said. “it’s less taxing on the trainers,” he said. “and it’s safer, because you have too many people rushing between facilities if they’re late for classes. and it’s healthier for the horses, because the horses are taxed also.”

another improvement to the facility is a per-manent structure for the nespresso tent where sponsors, spectators and competitors can enjoy food and drink. building a permanent facility will cut costs and save time used by setting up, providing electricity to and then taking down a tent each year, bellissimo said.

“There’s a heavy cost in setting it up and tak-ing it down every year,” he said. “and we know we’re going to be here for a long time, so we want to get as much permanence into the foot-print as we can.”

also new this season is the Sanctuary equine Sports Conditioning & Performance Center, a full-time horse training, therapy and condi-tioning center featuring the latest in technol-ogy, state-of-the-art equipment, training tech-niques and care. “We want this facility to be known as the state-of-the-art training and con-ditioning facility in the world,” bellissimo said.

The Holiday Show Series will be held nov. 30 to Dec. 5, followed by the 2011 Fti Winter equestrian Festival (WeF) for 12 weeks, from Jan. 12 to april 3. For more information, visit www.equestriansport.com.
