Hope you’re all having a good month! I’m excited this month to celebrate the Wellington Art Society’s 40th Anniversary at their monthly meeting on September 8th. Speaking of anniversaries, did you know that the Village of Wellington is 25 years old this year? And AroundWellington is 15 years old?
There’s a lot of talent in and around Wellington. Check out my recent interviews with film director Andrew Mossop and jazz musician John Tutino. Andrew Mossop just launched his film “The Blob Blob Fish: A Journey through Obesity” (on 8/31). John Tutino just released his album “Duality” (on 8/11).
In addition to our travel writer, one of our writers is always on the move. Mike May takes us to Indiana, more specifically 33 Brick Street and gets his hands on all kinds of Larry Bird memorabilia in “On the Move with Mike.”
Our Mommy Moments writer Briana D’Andrea is on the move too, and this month she takes us to Kennedy Space Center. She visited with her family and had an incredible time. It’s a reasonable day trip from the Wellington, FL area and you certainly get a lot of aerospace history. Read “Kennedy Space Center Blast Off” this month.
Meanwhile, our Teen Talk writer and intern Azwad Ahmed starts out with a skeptical stance on Tik Tok, the popular social media app. He ends up enjoying it, finding it a great place to explore during the pandemic and singing its praises. Check out this month’s “Teen Talk.”

The sudden fame of TikTok is something that has never been seen before. For those who may not be familiar with the app, TikTok is a short-video sharing platform. The platform is used to make and share a wide range of videos, ranging from 15 seconds to 3 minutes long, from comedy, dance, and many other videos, TikTok has videos for everyone to enjoy.
What is so mesmerizing about TikTok is the amount of influence the app has on pop culture. TikTok started to become well-known amongst a larger audience in late 2019, and once the pandemic started, the number of users skyrocketed. With an estimated 1.1 billion users worldwide. An integral part of TikTok is music, similar to its predecessor Musical.ly. Many famous TikTok songs would go on to become chart-topping hits on the Billboard charts. Songs like “Say So” by Doja Cat, “Sunday Best” by Surfaces, and “No Idea” by Don Toliver, became well-known hits due to going viral on TikTok. As of the week of 08/23, there are 8 songs in the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 that I’ve heard consistently on TikTok.
Nowadays it seems that many artists make music to purposely go viral on TikTok. Take Drake’s song “Toosie Slide” for example, the chorus of the song gives the listener instructions to a dance, “It go, right foot up, left foot slide. Left foot up, right foot slide,” Now when listening I first heard the song, I thought to myself, “Surely this will go viral on TikTok, the dance seems so simplistic and easy to do,” and the very next week I saw many popular TikTok creators doing the dance. The song also spent 11 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, an impressive feat for a song whose chorus is just instructions to a dance.
TikTok has definitely had an impact on the fashion styles of many. A lot of TikTok fashion trends became everyday wear for many, and plenty of people found new inspiration for their wardrobe through TikTok. For me, I started venturing out into clothes I thought I’d never wear, like mom jeans and oversized sweaters. I like to think it was a step up from what I used to wear, joggers and a T-shirt.
I downloaded TikTok in October of 2019, thinking it would be something that I would delete almost immediately. I was instantly hooked. The videos I saw were hilarious and felt relatable. It felt like a longer version of Vine and Musical.ly, but with way more of a variety to watch from. At the time, TikTok was looked at as one of the forms of social media that were considered embarrassing to have. This was probably due to the different kinds of content that were seen as “strange or unusual”. Once the pandemic started, this completely changed. Everyone I knew had TikTok and it instantly became the app I used most on my phone. I spent an (unhealthy) amount of hours just scrolling through TikTok while stuck at home. Without TikTok, most of us would’ve had nothing to do with our time during the early stages of the pandemic, so let’s give a huge thanks to TikTok for keeping us entertained all this time.
So, you have a new furry family member that you brought home? What an exciting time for you and your children. As much as this is a fun and new addition to your lives, it’s important to know ways to manage your puppy so bad behaviors do not start. This begins with the introduction to your children.
How To Prevent Bad Habits from Forming
Believe it or not, it’s quite simple to prevent bad habits from forming with a new puppy. You just don’t reward it for bad behavior. Yes, I know it certainly sounds very simple and it can be if you recognize the signs. In order to prevent the start of a bad habit, it’s important to discuss with your children their responsibilities with their new puppy.
Step 1: The introduction. This part of owning a new puppy is quite important because it does not know anyone and can be very scared and timid. Calmly and quietly introduce your puppy to your children. Let your puppy sniff your children’s clothing, face, and breath. Tell your children to gently pet the puppy, abstaining from any forceful movements. If your children are tiny, avoid allowing them to give your puppy snacks as it might think your children’s little fingers are a treat.
Step 2: Get a playpen. Get a crate. Why a playpen? This helps to keep your puppy from potentially harming itself and destroying your home, as well as allowing it to learn how to comfort itself in its own space. Having a crate is another way of helping your puppy acclimate itself to your home and schedule. While you have to step out, putting your puppy in the crate will teach it to understand its safe place. Leaving your dog in a crate when you leave your home prevents them from getting into mischief.
Step 3: Make sure you tell your children the rules. These rules should be made up prior to getting your puppy. For example, it’s important to explain to your children that roughhousing with their new puppy can harm them. Also, keeping tug-of-war type toys away from both your puppy and children is essential as these toys can misalign your dog’s jaw. Remember, your puppy is growing and small things like tug-of-war can harm it. Allow your children to spend quality time with the puppy so they can bond together while remembering it’s important that you are present at all times as young kids don’t realize how strong they can be and can hurt their new puppy.
Step 4: Another great way to help your children bond with their new puppy is to let them have certain responsibilities, like feeding and walking. This can help your puppy bond with your children and learn to respond to them as well.
Step 5: Let your children know just how delicate puppies can be. Children need to know that jumping on and off of beds and couches can hurt the puppy and possibly break one of their legs. Giving your children the opportunity to understand this can help prevent accidents.
How Important is Choosing the Right Breed for Your Family?
It’s very important to know what the different dog breeds are. Researching this is the first step in determining what breed is a good fit for your family and sets the stage for the bond your puppy will make. If you decide to go through a private breeder, you must make sure they are reputable. Being able to see the mother and/or the father on-site is a plus when you visit the breeder. This can help you to determine whether that specific breed is a perfect match for you and your family.
Final Thoughts
Having a new puppy is a wonderful experience. Knowing ahead of time how to transition your children into adapting to their new puppy is essential. Enjoy your new furry addition!

The Promise Fund Mammography Screening Center at FoundCare Exceeds Goal by Screening More Than 1000 Patients in Less Than a Year
61 Women in Need Diagnosed with Breast Cancer
West Palm Beach – The Promise Fund Mammography Screening Center at FoundCare in West Palm Beach recently screened their 1000th patient. The milestone comes less than a year after the new service at FoundCare opened in late October 2020, far exceeding the two nonprofits’ initial goals. Of those screened, more than 60 women across the Promise Fund of Florida Network have been diagnosed with cancer. More than 80% of the cancer was detected in stages 0-2, far earlier than the cancer would likely have been caught without the availability of the screening center.
Left to Right: Janet Abramowitz (Mammography Coordinator), Staci Shapiro (Mammography Technologist), Virginia Flores, Kettly Laybonne (Promise Fund Navigator)
Longtime FoundCare patient, 65-year-old Virginia Flores became the 1000th patient to be screened after putting off getting a mammogram for the past three years. She says even though she has insurance, the co-pay would have cost her $200 for the mammogram, making the vital breast cancer screening unaffordable for her. The Promise Fund Mammography Screening Center provides subsidized screenings to enable uninsured and underinsured women the opportunity to get their potentially life-saving yearly exams. FoundCare serves every patient who comes through the doors, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay.
“It’s very important because cancer can pop-up at any time,” says Flores. “I don’t have any family members with cancer, but I have friends that lost friends that said, ‘If only I could have gotten screened.’”
The Promise Fund of Florida helped fund the Promise Fund Mammography Screening Center and secure the state-of-the-art 3D mammography machine. FoundCare is one of seven partner health providers in the Promise Fund of Florida Network that helps provide breast and cervical screenings, diagnostic and cancer care to underserved women. A Promise Fund of Florida Navigator also works at each health partner to guide patients through the healthcare system, and help eliminate all barriers to care including financial assistance, transportation, translation, finding childcare and food assistance.
In addition to exceeding their mammogram screening goals, Promise Fund of Florida Navigators have also helped more than 1800 patients this year, 10% more than their targeted goal. Nearly 3600 underserved patients have also been helped through community outreach and education, exceeding their goal by 35%, a significant increase given the limitations of COVID-19.
“We are extremely thankful for the support of our community who made these tremendous milestones possible, but our work has just begun. We look at this success as just the beginning in our goal to bring health equity to the more than 85,000 uninsured and underserved women in Palm Beach County. It is our mission to bring peace of mind to every woman, knowing that we are there to help them get the vital breast and cervical screenings, diagnostic and cancer care they need. Our hope is that the Promise Fund of Florida’s continuum of care will serve as model for systemic change in women’s healthcare to communities across the nation,” says Nancy Brinker, Co-Founder, Promise Fund of Florida.
“Adding our Women’s Health Program and the Promise Fund Mammography Screening Center to our one-stop health center has been a game changer for new and longtime FoundCare patients like Virginia,” said Yolette Bonnet, FoundCare, Inc., CEO. “Women who put off their mammography screenings because they cannot afford them, or are limited on time, can now find help at FoundCare. Thanks to support from the Promise Fund, we have a state-of-the-art 3D mammography unit, generously donated by Hologic, Inc., that has and will continue to save many women’s lives through preventative care. Women whose results come back abnormal are no longer expected to navigate the process alone. We have a support system through our Promise Fund of Florida Navigators who will be there for them every step of the way. We are sincerely grateful for this incredible partnership.”
FoundCare accepts most insurance plans, Medicaid, Medicare and self-pay on a sliding fee scale based on household size and income. For more information about FoundCare’s services, please call 561-HEALTHY (561) 432-5849 or visit http://foundcare.org.

Tarik Currimbhoy: Reflections
January 5 – February 27, 2022 – Gallery Exhibition
January 5 – June 30, 2022 – Garden Exhibition
What: Tarik Currimbhoy: Reflections
Classically trained in the arts, industrial design, and architecture, Tarik Currimbhoy is a trifecta of artistic prowess. Having earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Master of Architecture from the Pratt Institute, as well as a Master of Arts from Cornell University, Currimbhoy later went on to teach at both institutions. In both architecture and sculpture, Tarik searches for tranquility, simplicity and tactility, expressed in purity of both form and material. Inspired by ancient architecture of building blocks resting on each other in tension and compression, Currimbhoy’s sculptures are “stories of structure and gravity”, held together under compression in stone and metal. He has mastered the juxtaposition of the old and the new, using handcrafting and ancient casting techniques to create sculptures that are modern and minimal in form. His design work has been published internationally and his sculptures may be found across the world in public spaces as well as corporate and private collections.

What: Bradley Theodore Artist in Residence
Born in Turks & Caicos and based between Miami Beach and New York City, Bradley Theodore is a multi-disciplinary artist whose iconoclastic approach to art can be found internationally, from 10-foot murals on the streets of New York, Tokyo, and Milan, to sold out solo exhibitions in London. Theodore studied at the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York City and began his artistic career adorning the streets with vibrant, chromatic murals of skeleton crews depicting contemporary pop culture and fashion “royalty.” With deliberate strokes of high-intensity pastel color, he strips figures from George Washington all the way to Karl Lagerfield down to clothed skeletons. He has become a staple in the art and fashion scene across the globe. Celebrity collectors include Alyssa Milano, Iris Apfel, Bryan Cranston and Salma Hayek. Theodore’s professional collaborations with Moët & Chandon, Rolls-Royce, Google, PUMA, Haig Club and Moleskine underscore his willingness to allow contemporary culture and commerce to coexist within his larger practice.

The Animal Paintings of Helmut Koller
March 2 – April 3, 2022
What: The Animal Paintings of Helmut Koller
Palm Beach resident Helmut Koller is mainly known for his colorful, bold and festive paintings of animals. Koller grew up in the Austrian countryside and after completing his training as a photographer, he became the official photographer for the Vienna State Opera. For seven years he photographed superstars like Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, Leonard Bernstein and Rudolf Nurejev. Within that period Koller co-wrote, photographed and designed his first book -“Women Over 30.” Two more books followed – “Elektra” and “Opera Live.” Koller then moved to Manhattan followed by Palm Beach, where he now resides.
In 1987, with his first collection of paintings, “Homage to Egon Schiele”, Koller made the transition from photography to painting. The artist then turned his interest to historic portraits of the Native Americans. Figurative paintings in acrylic on canvas followed. Since the beginning of 1997 Koller is working on a series of colorful animal paintings. In summer 1998, Suppan Galerie in Vienna, Austria, showed these new paintings for the very first time at an exhibition. Galleria di Sorrento at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas premiered these super realistic “new pop” paintings in the United States in the summer 1999.
