“The exciting line-up for this year’s PHYSICIANS TALENT SHOWCASE will have the theme of “We Are Family,” and will feature talented physicians performing with their spouses and/or children. There will be dancers, pianists, vocalists, instrumentalists and even an all-doctor band,” promises Kathi Kretzer, founder of the Kretzer Piano Music Foundation. “We were thrilled when our first four concerts raised more than $210,000 to benefit underprivileged children in our area.”

“We are still looking for sponsors for the upcoming PHYSICIANS TALENT SHOWCASE, and interested individuals and companies are encouraged to call me directly at 561.748.0036,” she adds.

“SEA YOU HERE”

Artisans On The Ave Gallery is celebrating a tropical summer with our 40 talented artists. We reflect on the wonders of the sea and all it has to offer. Artisans On The Ave gallery is located in a quaint and quirky artistic downtown nestled among shops and restaurants that are unique and one of a kind. Living so close to our beautiful Atlantic Ocean has inspired our artists to create their wonderful original art with the theme and colors of the ocean waters and the blazing heat of the hot summer sun. The artists will take you on a visual vacation as you enjoy the many works of their art in our gallery’s 3 wonderful showrooms.

Photographers EJ Morales and Tammy Seymour capture the secrets of the ocean and its divine mystery You will feel as though you have dived deep into the depths of the cold blue waters and are eye to eye with the wondrous. creatures such as century old sea turtles, sharks and fish.

Tracy Rosof Petersen adorns her hand built ceramics with clay seashells, seahorses, and starfish that are then glazed in a variety of ocean inspired colors and hues of the sandy beaches. Her imaginary clay mermaids can welcome any fisherman into port. Tracy offers a selection of vases, plates, nightlights, card holders and much more with a tropical inspired theme. They make terrific one of a kind gifts for that memorable occasion.
Julie Sylvester walks the hot sands of the beach to find unique one of a kind seashells that she turns into sculptures of ships and large vessels, mermaids, lighthouses, coral encrusted beach scenes and more. Her selection of found seashells on beautiful silk twine will adorn your body and make you feel beautiful. She turns vintage wooden boxes into works of art for jewelry or purses with ocean themed images and applied seashells, driftwood, seagrass, and coral. These are sometimes done with the encaustic art technique using applied hot wax or engraving with her wood burning skills to engrave and trim.

Bonnie Brunner uses her talents to make her unique basketry She patiently hand weaves naturally dyed colorful strands of sea grape vines, twigs, and twine, these are then sometimes combined with hand-built ceramic bases that are attached to give each vessel a personalized look, each new piece resembles the waves of the mighty white tipped ocean crashing against the hot sandy beach. They will make quite a statement sitting in your cottage by the sea.

Ocean creatures and the hues of neon colored tropical fish come to life on the beautiful fused glass done by artist Betty Wilson. The light reflects and bounces off the different species of fish she creates with glass.

Ebba Tinwin wraps beautiful sea glass with wire to create gorgeous jewelry for that special someone and yourself. She selects the shards of sea glass that have been tossed to the shores of the ocean by the rough waves. She selects her palette of colors and choice of blues, greens, whites, golds, and turquoise and then polishes each one before wrapped in wires of silver and gold.

Dr.Herbert Brosky hand carves tropical birds out of found wood. His amazing talents of come to life in his realistic carvings. He is a retired dentist and amazingly uses his intricate dental tools to hand carve the details of his artistic birds. He then delicately paints each one to make them come to life. His flamingo wears a beautiful coat of pink and stands perched on stilt legs and the sea gull’s underbelly shows as if you are standing on the ocean pier watching them fly away. The sand-piper sits on a rock of driftwood aged from the salt of the ocean.

The amazing talents of our artists are endless just like the ocean. Wander through the 3 showrooms of our gallery and be amazed as you take it all in. You will feel as though you are on an imaginary visual vacation.
When you visit the 3 showrooms within our gallery you will be amazed at the selection of exquisite art handcrafted by 40 local artists. Visit this opening night for an evening of fun!! Meet the artists!!!

FPL presented with Emergency Recovery Award

Florida Power & Light Company presented with Emergency Recovery Award for its restoration efforts in the aftermath of tornado event

FPL is recognized by Edison Electric Institute with prestigious award for restoring power safely and quickly after tornadoes struck the company’s service area in January 2016

FPL

JUNO BEACH, Fla., June 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) today announced it has received the Edison Electric Institute (EEI) “Emergency Recovery Award” for outstanding power restoration efforts after tornadoes and severe weather hit Florida in January 2016. The award recognizes utilities for their outstanding response to help restore service to customers following a storm or natural disaster.

“At FPL, we know how important reliable service is for our customers and we are focused on providing safe and reliable energy year-round,” said Eric Silagy, president and CEO for FPL. “Our teams prepare year-round to ensure we are ready to respond when severe weather strikes – training extensively and incorporating lessons learned from previous storms so we can reduce the number and duration of outages. The Emergency Recovery Award is a testament to our team’s dedication to helping return customers’ lives back to normal safely and as quickly as possible.”

On Jan. 17 and 18, severe thunderstorms generated two tornadoes within FPL’s service area, as well as wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour and severe lightning. FPL crews worked safely and quickly to restore service to its customers in the face of challenging conditions. At the event’s peak, this violent weather caused more than 100,000 customer outages. Over the course of the two days, service was restored to customers within an average of four hours.

“This honor truly goes to our restoration field personnel who worked tirelessly under demanding conditions to restore service for our customers,” said Manny Miranda, senior vice president of Power Delivery for FPL. “January’s tornadic events put our storm readiness to the test and the team’s response demonstrated FPL’s commitment to providing reliable service in good weather and bad. Our team responded quickly, activating our storm response plan, deploying our Mobile Command Center to the hardest hit area and ensuring we had boots on the ground ready to respond and work until every customer’s lights were back on.”

The Emergency Recovery Award is presented twice annually to EEI member companies to recognize their extraordinary efforts to restore power to customers after service disruptions caused by severe weather conditions or other natural events. The winners are chosen by a panel of judges, following an international nomination process and the awards are presented during EEI’s Annual Convention in Chicago.

“Getting the lights back on following a major storm is never easy – FPL’s restoration efforts following these tornadoes was truly remarkable,” said EEI President Tom Kuhn. “FPL’s focus on helping minimize the impact for its customers is a demonstration of its commitment to reliability and customer service.”

FPL’s typical 1,000-kWh residential customer bill is approximately 30 percent lower than the latest national average and, in 2015, was the lowest in Florida among reporting utilities for the sixth year in a row.

”It was great to see the clients smiling, singing and I especially loved the dancing,” said Heather Tate-Boldt, MSW, Supervisor of Discovery Day Treatment and Partial Hospitalization Services. “We are constantly seeking new ways to expand our recreational programs to include safe and fun activities for people with mental health disorders. We are so grateful for Mr. and Dr. Golden for hosting the luau and making our clients feel important,” continued Tate-Boldt.

The luau was one of several events that the Center held during May to help remove the stigma often associated with mental illness. Since 1949, Mental Health Awareness Month has been celebrated each May. The luau was an opportunity to let the clients know they are appreciated and that “They Matter”. “You Matter” is the new theme of the Center’s Clients’ Rights Initiative Campaign.

Everyone in attendance shared in the Aloha spirit. According to the old kahunas (priests), being able to live the Spirit of Aloha was a way of reaching self-perfection and realization for our own body and soul. Aloha is sending and receiving a positive energy. Aloha is living in harmony. When you live the Spirit of Aloha, you create positive feelings and thoughts, which are never gone. They exist in space, multiply and spread over to others. “Aloha” means mutual regard and affection and extends warmth in caring with no obligation in return. “Aloha” is the essence of relationships in which each person is important to every other person for collective existence. “Aloha” means to hear what is not said, to see what cannot be seen and to know the unknowable.

The Golden Center provides treatment to adults and children with mental health and/or substance use disorders helping them restore and maintain their productive lives in the community. Its mission is to help clients build resiliency, facilitate recovery and achieve reintegration into the community by designing and delivering behavioral health care services that meet their needs and expectations.
