Earth is taken for granted a lot of the time. April is the month for its appreciation, and its infamous holiday, Earth Day, illustrates that compactly. When I was in elementary school, I would usually ignore, or find no interest in Earth Day when it was advertised in the hallways.
Why is Earth Day important? It’s only a day, how can that help? This is a misconception, a fallacy, that too many believe. April is a month where throughout its entirety, many work to ameliorate our planet, not just on one single day, even though that’s when most acknowledge it.
Earth Day, April 22, celebrates our Earth, and also the birth of the Modern Environmental Movement, formed in 1970. It spreads awareness of Earth and its issues as a whole, for example, pollution, littering, climate change, etc.
April is a month of environmental change, not just for the 22nd, so how can you help? Here are a few activities you can partake in to contribute to April and our Earth!
Beach Cleanups. The beach is absolutely filled to its brim with litter, such as plastic bottles or straws leftover by visitors. Simply bringing a trash bag, gloves, and a trash picker to the beach and picking up somebody’s trash not only benefits your environment, but also can help you get in those steps!
Volunteer to clean something local. It can be anything from a street to a river, but if you are aware of a local cleanup looking for participants, do it!
Recycle. Recycling may seem like common sense to many, but for others not so much. Make sure you are recycling glass products, plastic products, tin, aluminum, and steel products, cardboard, and even paper. Another reminder to make sure those products are clean before tossing them in the recycling bin!
Spread awareness to others. Even a simple “Hey, don’t forget to recycle that!” can contribute to the lessening of waste and to the improvement of our planet. While being kind to the environment on your own is also a great thing, reminding others to as well is even more beneficial.
Whether we like it or not, our planet is in obvious danger, and if we don’t attempt to fix the problems we have caused then it may eventually be too late. Take this month to be a part of the solution.

Founded in 2006 by Chip McKenney, the LEXUS International Gay Polo Tournament - Presented by Douglas Elliman Real Estate has grown in popularity, creativity, and impact with nearly 3,000 players, attendees, and merrymakers from around the world attending the event annually. This year, 16 LGBTQ+ polo players, representing 6 countries, will participate in the matches. The event was created to generate awareness and to move the needle forward for LGBTQ athletes, the event works to ensure athletes not only have the same opportunities, but also a safe place to learn, grow and excel in their sport. The tournament has created opportunities to connect wonderfully diverse people, have conversations with changemakers, and to elevate experiences to shift conversations.
Proudly, the work expands beyond the game of polo and equestrian sports and the Gay Polo League has been named the recipient of the prestigious Palm Beach County Sports Commission “Champion of Equity & Diversity Award”.
“Being named the award recipient, from a non-gay organization, is validation for diversity event organizers like us,” shared Chip McKenney, founder of the Gay Polo League and Tournament. “This reflects a belief in the value our event(s) brings to the community. This recognition is crucial for LGBTQ athletes and their supporters. We are proud that GPL has become an instrument of change and oftentimes introduces gay people into the lives and consciousness of people who may not have known gay people firsthand.”
In addition to the awareness and outreach, raising money in support of diversity and inclusion initiatives for other LGBTQ organizations remains a priority. The 2022 event will benefit onePULSE Foundation, an organization born after the tragic events that unfolded at Pulse Nightclub where 49 people lost their lives in 2016. The onePULSE Foundation’s mission is to create and support a national memorial that opens hearts, a museum that opens minds, educational programs that open eyes and legacy scholarships that open doors.
“We are grateful to be back this year and invite everyone to join us for an incredible weekend,” ended McKenney.

WELLINGTON, FL MARCH 28, 2022: Genbu-Kai Karate is proud to announce the promotion of Kota Ramsey to adult Sho-Dan Ho (1 st degree probationary black belt). Kota started in the Karate-Kid program (3-6 year old), April 2010, and advanced to the rank of 7 th kyu, the last beginner level. December 2010, Kota moved to the junior karate program, where he was active three times per week. Kota tested for his junior black belt rank during Genbu-Kai’s annual seminar events in front of Demura Shihan, October 1, 2016 and received his ranking in February 2018.
Early 2017, due to Kota’s age, physical size and maturity level, he moved into the adult program working his way, still training three days per week, towards the adult black belt.
February 2022, Kota traveled to California with Sensei Moore, to test in front of Demura Shihan for his adult black belt rank.
In Genbu-Kai, anyone testing for their 1 st level black belt ranks, are presented with either a plain red or black belt. For juniors (under 18), a plain red belt is awarded, and (over 18), a plain black belt is
Page 2 awarded. After this initial promotion, students must wait and prove their dedication, and within a year’s time, are awarded their official Sho-Dan ranks, with their names embroidered on one side and the other side with the name of the organization, in Japanese Katakana font.
In today’s society, many who test and pass this rank often quit shortly afterwards, thinking they’ve reached the top. However, this is the first step in understanding the true essence of Budo (martial art’s training). Therefore, many miss the benefits, and true essence, of martial arts training.
Genbu-Kai Karate is conveniently located in the Wellington Market Place Mall, for more information on the classes, please call 561.804.1002 or visit our website at www.floridagenbukai.com .

We’ve all heard of chiropractic care. Some of us may have even had chiropractic care and go for regular adjustments. But did you know your pet might benefit from the same type of care?
We have a 13-year old labrador, Brodie. A couple of years ago we noticed some stiffness in his legs and joints. He simply wasn’t moving around as smoothly or easily as he should. We took him to our vet for a check-up to make sure nothing was injured or broken. While Brodie was waiting to be seen by his regular doctor, another veterinarian in the office who is licensed and eligible to give pets chiropractic therapy happened to walk by and said, “That dog needs an adjustment.” The office manager asked us right away if we were ok with our dog having chiropractic care. We felt it was a good idea, so we agreed. Once Brodie was home, he seemed much more comfortable and mobile. Chiropractic care really worked! It wasn’t long before we had him signed up for routine sessions.
Chiropractic manipulation in pets is frequently performed on horses, dogs and cats. There are several ways to determine if your pet might need to see a chiropractor. Signs may include limping, trouble turning in a certain direction, laying on only one side, difficulty getting up from sitting or laying down, hesitation before jumping or climbing, or a change in their stride or movement pattern. In addition to helping pets deal with things such as chronic pain or hip dysplasia, chiropractic pet patients with nerve or other problems can also benefit. For example, regular adjustments might help pets with urinary incontinence regain control of those functions.
Chiropractic therapy works well when it is combined with other forms of veterinary medicine. Depending on your pet’s condition, treatments such as massage, acupuncture or laser therapy may also help. We found that adding laser therapy to Brodie’s routinely scheduled chiropractic visits benefits him greatly.
When treated with chiropractic care, animals tend to have stronger responses to being adjusted than humans do. Chiropractic pet patients often see results (such as improved gait and an apparent reduction of pain) immediately within minutes of treatment, as Brodie did. Because of this, routine chiropractic visits only need to occur three or four times a year based on age and level of activity. Major issues may need care a little more frequently in the beginning.
It’s important to note that chiropractic pet care shouldn’t take the place of routine veterinary care. It isn’t meant to cure any diseases or replace surgical care. Also, only certified practitioners can perform chiropractic care on pets. If you think this is something your pet might benefit from, ask your vet if they offer chiropractic treatment or if they can refer a licensed practitioner that does.
