It wasn’t just a dance
It was a movement
Quick as the wind.
Wild as fire.
Cool as a soft breeze.
And a joy that transcended
The heavens.
Arms and legs that took flight
Dissolving fear
And absolving her of limitations
This was no ordinary dance –
It was . . .
her lifeline.
Preparing to Adopt a Senior Dog
By Ainsley Lawrence
When you decide to rescue a dog, you’re also consenting to grow your heart a few sizes bigger. But when you decide to rescue a senior dog, you might find that your body is no longer big enough to hold your heart. Adopting a senior dog is a one in a lifetime experience. Your senior dog will know you’ve saved their life. In return, they’ll spend the rest of their lives saving yours.
However, just as with any new addition to the family, bringing a senior dog into your home takes some planning and preparation.
Odds are that your senior dog is likely going to face some mobility issues due to arthritis and other orthopedic conditions. That means that before you bring your new “baby” into your life, you’ll need to prepare your home for their comfort and safety.
For example, if you have wood or tile floors, your fur baby might have trouble with walking or slipping. Placing throw rugs with non-skid backing throughout the house can help them walk more comfortably and avoid slips and falls. You can even purchase traction booties to help your little one keep their footing wherever they may go.
Stairs and high places can also be a significant fall risk, making your senior pet vulnerable to severe injuries such as broken bones or head injuries. So make sure that you have safety barriers around these areas to prevent devastating falls.
Additionally, your senior pet is undoubtedly going to want to have lots of cuddle time with you, but they may have trouble jumping up onto furniture safely. Steps and ramps can make this easier, more comfortable, and far safer for your aged pet.
Your fur baby may also need other “lifestyle products” to help with their daily lives. For instance, elevated dog bowls can help with feeding and watering when your senior pet has issues with their cervical spine or other health conditions. Likewise, your little one may have trouble with incontinence, but puppy pads and even pet diapers can be a wonderful way to keep your baby comfortable while preventing accidents around the house.
As you’re setting up your space for your new baby, it’s also important to provide items that they will likely find comforting, such as soft beds and blankets. It’s a good bet that your senior dog has experienced some trauma from a variety of circumstances whether that be the death of their pet parent or a surrender from their previous owners. So you’ll want your pet’s first impression of their home to be one of love, comfort, and safety.
Not surprisingly, senior dogs will likely have more medical expenses than younger ones. For that reason, it may be worthwhile to look into pet insurance for your senior pet. Though premiums may be a bit higher, depending on the policy, it is still likely that your pet will qualify regardless of their age. Pet insurance can be a tremendous resource for ensuring your fur baby has the quality of care they need and deserve.
When you’re the parent of a senior pet, it’s also important to be able to differentiate between what is a normal part of the aging process and what is a sign of more significant trouble for your little one. You can do this by researching the common needs of senior pets before the actual adoption process. However, just like their love, their medical issues differ from dog to dog. Once you’ve settled in with your pet and learned a bit about what is normal for them, you will be better able to spot changes that you may need to alert your vet too.
In the beginning, though, it’s a good idea for your fur baby to have a thorough checkup to establish a primary vet and to find any problems that might have gone undetected.
You’ll also likely need to adopt a special diet tailored to the needs of geriatric dogs, and even research alternative therapies and supplements to enhance your dog’s quality of life. For example, if your little one has orthopedic pain or a low appetite, low doses of a supplement such as kratom can be highly beneficial. Such supplements, especially when used for pain relief, can be far safer, and have fewer side effects than traditional pharmaceuticals such as opioids.
Rescue dogs are always a blessing, but senior rescues are a miracle. Every senior dog has a story. They may have lost their human to death, or they may have even been abandoned. No matter what the cause, your senior dog has experienced loss, sadness, and fear— that is what you are rescuing them from when you bring them into your heart and home. Luckily, your fur baby knows it and will make it up to you in spades.

Stress-Busters
By Melanie Lewis
“I’m so stressed out!”, is comment that I hear a lot. I confess, I am plagued by it as well. I am triggered by the weekly progress reports from the online school agency. It’s usually reporting that my kids are at 15% completion and should be at 40%. We have a procrastinator, folks. He’s in no mood to change that. He says he works better under a deadline. I can’t stand it. I think it’s a poor work ethic and habit to get into. It looks as though this falls into the category of “ Something I can’t change”, so I must adapt and try to control my own reaction to it.
I am a fan of routines. Daily routines reduce stress. But, plans unravel. I have adopted a few recommendations for stress relief from KATHY PEEL’s book, The Family Managers Guide for Working Moms.
Here are her, “ROUTINES YOU SHOULDN’T SKIP WHEN UNDER STRESS:
* Exercise even if it’s only 20 minutes of brisk walking
*The 5 basic food groups. You want enduring energy. Sugar highs and alcohol lows are not what you need now.
*Washing your hair. Looking bad will make you feel worse.
*Bedtime stories or breakfast chats with your kids.
*A good night’s sleep. Going without sleep will mess up your schedule for the next day.
*Your sense of humor. Everything is temporary.”
I absolutely agree with every item on her list. I would add a few refinements. Exercise outdoors is better than indoors. Regular bedtime makes the next day functioning possible. I gave up caffeine and it makes a difference to have steady energy level. Have a good protein breakfast and lunch.
My grandmother used to say, “This too shall pass.” I think that was her way of letting go of undue stress. She was right about many things that used to bother me about the kids. Picky eaters do eventually eat and climbers climb trees now.
It has been proven that these ideas that reduce stress also help support a healthy weight. I came across this piece on the UnderArmor site…
21 Quick and Easy Hacks That Support Weight Loss
“Stress-management is important for weight loss,” says Hunt. Easing stress can help you cut down on emotional eating and get the restorative sleep your body needs to keep your hormones in balance and your appetite and fullness signals under control. While what works for everyone is different, doing breathing exercises, a brief meditation or a short stretching routine each day can help dial down your stress response and reduce muscle tension and pain.”
Total time: 30–60 seconds
The bottom line is if you can’t control the stress, don’t “suck it up,” reduce it.
St. Lucie Cultural Alliance welcomes new member Janet Bird Fuller,
the opening of a new gallery Whirled Inc Gallery
Contributing Writer: Laura Louise Tingo of Laura Louise PR
Janet Bird Fuller’s artistry is showcased in her magnificent, eclectic collection of steampunk mixed media and found object artist works. A second-generation artist from Fort Pierce, Fuller, surrounded by art at home, was already painting and cartooning at an early age. Her father, a police sketch artist, is credited for initially sparking and fostering Janet’s creative interest.
“He taught me a lot over the years,” Fuller said. “I used to paint and cartoon, but then I got bored, so I stopped for a while.”
Fuller recalls, without hesitation the year that her creativity was re-booted, when in 2001, while driving by a trash-shed, she saw, “…some interesting pieces,” and thought, “Now that would make great art.”
In 2012, Fuller realized her first professional exhibit and has been exhibiting ever since.
Fast-forward to present day, Fuller is exhibiting her diverse and dynamic collection of works made from recyclable materials at the new Whirled Inc Gallery, 129 N. Second Street, in Fort Pierce.
“Janet’s artwork and my artwork go very well together,” said Fogle, artist and the owner and operator of Whirled Inc Gallery. “She has great work here and really is an incredible artist.”
But it is more than that to Fogle. This new gallery has been his creative ‘brainchild’ for almost two decades. “Janet is a great friend and she really encouraged me,” he said. “She is extremely generous… “She is a fixture of the art community and very important to the art community here.”
The gallery, nestled along the artsy Second Street Corridor of Downtown Fort Pierce, is the second in a series of spots that its owner Steve Fogle has opened to support local artists. Whirled Inc Gallery offers artists the cultural avenue to vie for a chance to showcase their works in stunning variety, along with, “a little of everything,” Fogle said. Jewelry boxes, flower vases, photography, paintings, sculpture and greeting cards are among the offerings.
“I am trying to make it a one-stop gallery,” he said.
Fogle is accepting artists with, “the right fit,” for his ‘funk ton of cool’ platform and invites artists to begin the conversation by sending a photo. “Your art has to hit me,” he said.
Fuller exhibited her work at the prestigious Seriously Mixed Media gallery for four years, before meeting Fogle in 2018 and starting a successful collaboration with him.
“Steve is just wonderful,” she said. “Previously, he solely exhibited his work, then I joined him, and now he features an array of great artists.”
Prior to meeting Fogle, Fuller owned and operated a gallery in 111 Orange Avenue, but the building was sold, rent became cost-prohibitive, and over 40 artists lost their studios. Next, she showed her work at the Art House. “It was like New York City Gallery,” Fuller recalled, “it was absolutely beautiful.”
Early in her career Fuller found support in the local arts agency, she said. Through an ‘emerging artist program’ she was matched up with a professional artist, learned how to promote her work, build a website, and get involved in the local arts community. Fuller now enjoys the benefits of artist membership with the St. Lucie Cultural Alliance.
When asked what advice she would give to artists who are starting out, she offered a similar path.
“Hook up with people who know what they are doing,” she said. “I thought being an artist was staying home and creating awesome art, but there is so much more to being a working artist.”
Fuller cheers mentorship and colleague support of fellow professionals as helpful in showing emerging artists the ropes and ways to, ‘untangle numerous misconceptions.’
Fuller also encouraged all artists to support each other, attend gallery openings, and to get to know the local cultural community.
“Janet loves Fort Pierce and is a very big part of it, said Fogle, adding that she, ‘knows almost every artist.’

Lose the “Quarantine 15” with Let’s Move,
Palm Beach County’s Biggest Physical Activity Challenge
Registration is now open!
West Palm Beach, Fla.– Jeans fitting a little tighter? Having a hard time getting off the couch? Feeling a little down? COVID-19’s restrictions to daily lives have contributed to struggles with weight gain, inactivity and mental health. The ninth annual Let’s Move! Commit to Change Physical Activity Challenge is coming to the rescue to motivate Palm Beach County adults and youth to get up and get moving. Presented by Palm Health Foundation and Digital Vibez, Inc., Let’s Move is a month-long free activity challenge open to individuals and teams to participate by completing and logging 30 minutes of physical activity every day March 1-31, 2021.
Registration for the Let’s Move challenge is now open at www.letsmovepbc.org. Participants will benefit from a calendar full of fun and energetic events offered online and safely in person throughout Palm Beach County. Weekly prizes will incentivize residents to meet their daily 30-minute goals and teams will have the opportunity to compete for the highest number of collective minutes logged at the end of the month. A special $500 grant will be awarded to the school site or community-based/youth-focused program that logs the most minutes to support their physical activity programming.
Let’s Move was first launched in 2012 by Palm Health Foundation, Palm Beach County’s leading community foundation for health. Inspired by First Lady Michelle Obama’s 2010 Let’s Move national program to decrease childhood obesity, the foundation created the local challenge for adults and children to improve a variety of health issues through regular physical activity. The challenge promotes daily exercise as a way to combat illnesses like diabetes and heart disease, and strengthen brain health and life expectancy, among other benefits.
Last year, The City of Delray Beach team won the challenge with over 1 million minutes logged. Despite the pandemic interrupting the challenge, Palm Beach County collectively logged nearly 4 million physical activity minutes. New this year, Digital Vibez, Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to empowering youth through dance fitness, technology and the arts, will lead the Let’s Move challenge, offering high-energy, innovative events and activities for all ages.
“We are excited to help people find new and fun ways to include movement and exercise into their daily lives for better health,” said Wilford Romelus, founder of Digital Vibez. “COVID-19 made it difficult to stay active, but we are going to inspire everyone to move—whether it’s a dance party in their living room or a walk in nature.”
Let’s Move will kick off on March 1, 2021 at 6:00 p.m. via Facebook Live and YouTube at https://www.facebook.com/DigitalVibezInc and YouTube.com/DigitalVibezInc. Teams with the highest number of minutes, and other awardees, will be recognized at a community celebration at the end of the challenge on April 16, 2021.
“Movement is critically important for healthy bodies and healthy minds,” said Patrick McNamara, president and CEO of Palm Health Foundation. “We know Digital Vibez will inspire our county residents during the challenge and put them on the path for taking care of their wellness all year long.”

KRAVIS CLASSROOM CONNECTION HOSTS “ONE SMALL STEP” PRESENTATION WITH PALM BEACH SYMPHONY AND DEMETRIUS KLEIN DANCE COMPANY
Local students learned about space sciences and the history of the moon landing
(West Palm Beach, FL.) – The Kravis Center for the Performing Arts flew local students to the moon and back through its One Small Step presentation as part of its ongoing Kravis Classroom Connection programming. The recent online performance reached 2,135 Palm Beach County 5 to 14 year-old students and highlighted the story of the lunar landing with music, dance and science workshops. Students even had a live chance via Zoom to learn more about the cast members of One Small Step.
“Over 50 years ago, a brave American stepped out of a landing craft on the surface of the moon and made history,” said Tracy Butler, Director of Education for the Kravis Center. “This newly devised program made that historic event come to life for local students thanks to sponsorship from J. M. Rubin Foundation and the Kravis Center’s partnerships with the Palm Beach Symphony and Demetrius Klein Dance Company. The production connected science with national core arts standards. In light of the pandemic, our education team at the Kravis Center has been very proud to design online offerings to provide adults and children with additional learning opportunities through virtual platforms. This local collaboration for One Small Step was truly rewarding!”
Launched virtually during the pandemic, Kravis Classroom Connection helps students and teachers bring the arts into their classrooms in a fun and engaging way. The performances follow topics in math, science, technology, arts, history and social studies and range from grades K to 12. This innovative virtual series offers prerecorded presentations for teachers and students to view from a designated district-approved streaming platform.
With the help of Demetrius Klein Dance Company and four exciting pieces of all-American music from The Palm Beach Symphony, One Small Step brought that indelible moment of Milky Way magic to the stage. An interactive concert took students on a journey into space along with moon rock puppet friend, Rocky de Luna, and explored such scientific concepts as the Earth’s rotation, gravity and telescope viewing.
With a special narrative accompanied by the music of Copland’s “A Lincoln Portrait” and “Star Wars”, students met Rocky as she hitched a ride with two friendly NASA astronauts on the Apollo 11 lunar module en route back to planet Earth. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin showed Rocky some out-of-this-world views of the moon, helped define the moon’s place in the solar system and described how the moon affects all life on Earth.
Local students were taught about the valuable lessons of teamwork between writers, dancers, musicians, puppeteers, producers and science professionals to create a performance together. They were also encouraged to explore the concepts of rotation, revolution and gravity in relation to objects, themselves and planets through dance.
“At the Kravis Center, we’re committed to enriching the lives of students and educators in Palm Beach County and throughout South Florida by providing engaging and enlightening arts education programs,” continued Butler. “Since 1992, the Kravis Center has welcomed nearly 3 million students served by a multitude of different arts education programs that take place at the Kravis Center and throughout our local schools.
The Kravis Center is a not-for-profit performing arts center located at 701 Okeechobee Blvd. in West Palm Beach, FL. The Center’s mission is to enhance the quality of life in Palm Beach County by presenting a diverse schedule of national and international artists and companies of the highest quality, by offering comprehensive arts education programs – serving nearly 3 million students since its inception; by providing a Palm Beach County home for local and regional arts organizations to showcase their work; and by providing an economic catalyst and community leadership in West Palm Beach, supporting efforts to increase travel and tourism to Palm Beach County. Additional programming can be found at www.kravis.org/classroomconnection.

Tire Kingdom Expresses Appreciation to Those on the Front Lines of COVID-19
