Dance performance at Norton Museum of Art to highlight eight local choreographers, promote arts advocacy 


Aug. 26, 2024 (WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.) — Natural Movers Foundation is gearing up for its third annual performance, Open Spaces, at the Norton Museum of Art on Saturday, Sept. 28 at 2 p.m. 

The site-specific performance will feature original works and repertoire by a diverse group of eight Palm Beach County-based dance artists. Works are inspired by specific artworks and spaces at the Museum and will give the community a chance to watch inspiring, transformative choreography in an array of styles, including contemporary, ballet and hip-hop. 

“This year is critical for us as we grapple with recent news of the state’s arts funding cuts and find ways to pivot our programming,” said Ericka Squire, NMF Founder & CEO. “We are grateful for the Norton Museum of Art’s continued partnership to ensure Open Spaces continues despite this unprecedented setback. This event not only showcases local dance artists—it also gives the community a chance to see that, no matter what comes our way, Palm Beach County’s cultural sector is resilient, creative, and resourceful.”

Guests will be led throughout the museum to see each performance up close. Dance films will also be shown. Afterward, guests can enjoy a talk-back session with the choreographers about the inspiration behind their works and why community solidarity and advocating for the arts are more important than ever.

“The Norton is delighted to host the Natural Movers Foundation Open Spaces dance performance,” said Glenn Tomlinson, William Randolph Hearst Chief Officer of Learning and Community Engagement. “The choreographers’ interpretations of art on view in the Museum is not only inspiring, but they create a wonderful dialogue among art forms, artists and their audiences.”

This year’s featured choreographers include Larry Albright; Olivia Capasso; Claudia Hilda; Savannah Miller; Anna Nunes, AGWA Dance Company; Kristen Vencel, DKDC/DIY Projects; Shizu Yasuda; and Ericka Squire, Ericka Squire//The Dance Company.

Building Resilience: How to Support Your Child’s Mental Health This School Year

By Jaime Joshi Elder

The transition from the carefree days of summer to the much more regimented school day can be challenging. Students from kindergarten to senior year can experience anxiety and stress about the new year but with some understanding and patience, parents and caregivers can support their children’s mental health and ensure they thrive, academically and emotionally. 

“The most common mental health challenges children face when returning to school are anxiety, stress, nervousness, tension,” said Olivia Marino, LMHC, Supervisor of Therapy Services at Community Partners of South Florida. 

Olivia Marino, LMHC

In addition to the pressure to perform academically, students may also experience anxiety about a new and unfamiliar routine as well as be nervous about their social life for the new year.

“Transitioning from summer to school can be a cause for anxiety in many children. One way to prepare for this is for parents to start talking about going back to school in the last weeks leading up to school start date,” Olivia said. “Another way is to have the child meet the teacher and see the new classroom to get acclimated in the new space. 

Making the unfamiliar familiar is a good coping skill and one that can be taught at home – something that Olivia encourages parents to work on with their children.

“Many common coping skills can be discussed in the home in preparation for being in the school setting,” she said. 

Techniques such as deep breathing, counting to ten, muscle relaxation, and visualizing a “happy place” can be practiced at home and when they’re employed at school, parents can discuss how these strategies worked for their child, creating an open, supportive space for reflection and growth. 

“When the child returns from school, the parent can have a conversation about how the use of coping skills went,” Olivia said. “Creating an open and safe place for discussion is extremely helpful.”

A consistent routine is the bedrock to good mental health for both children and adults. Steady and regularly sleep patterns, a well-balanced diet and daily physical activity through sport or play.

“Having a routine helps a child with structure and feel less anxious by fostering a safe environment and knowing what to expect,” said Dalad Srisuppak, PhD, Director of School Programs at Community Partners of South Florida. “Adequate sleep, nutrition and physical activity come together in nurturing a child’s physical and emotional balance to foster personal physical growth to be ready to learn and manage any emotional challenges throughout the day.”  

Dalad Srisuppak, PhD

This structure not only supports their mental health but also prepares them to manage the academic and social demands of school.

Open communication between child, parent and educator is also key to supporting good mental health and Dalad advises that parents and caregivers check-in with one another regularly in order to identify and support a child’s needs.

“When parents and teachers share concerns and a child’s strengths with each other, everyone is on the same page and better understands a child,” she said.

Palm Beach County has numerous resources for parents, children and caregivers looking to support mental health, not just during the school year but year-round and both Dalad and Olivia want parents to know that they are not alone in this journey.

In addition to the mental health services available at Community Partners of South Florida, Palm Beach County also has a robust behavioral health team embedded in the School District of Palm Beach County which offers tools, tips, and techniques for parents, as well as community resources available at no cost. 

NAMI Palm Beach County (the local chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness) is another excellent resource for local mental health support, offering numerous resources for everything from anxiety to bereavement to obsessive compulsive disorder to substance abuse recovery. 

Additionally, the 211 Helpline for Palm Beach and the Treasure Coast provides comprehensive support, covering not only mental health but also other essential services.

Supporting your child’s mental health during the back-to-school season requires a proactive approach. By identifying potential challenges early, establishing healthy routines, teaching coping skills and maintaining open communication with educators, parents can help their children navigate this transition with confidence and resilience.

Charlotte Leonard transitions from Eldercare to Leading The DRIP BaR Royal Palm Beach

Royal Palm Beach, FL (August 27, 2024) — With over 35 years of extensive experience in healthcare operations, Charlotte Leonard is a distinguished Healthcare Executive at The DRIP BaR opening in Royal Palm Beach this October. Known for her strategic planning, regulatory compliance and cost management experiences, Charlotte previously worked as an entrepreneur in a medical spa, also with a focus on eldercare.

The DRIP BaR is a new and strong franchise that is known for leveraging health benefits and providing IV vitamin therapies that are designed to do everything from slowing the signs of aging to reducing brain fog and boosting energy. Vitamin therapy, or intravenous vitamin therapy, is the administration of nutrients and hydration directly into the bloodstream for immediate absorption. Some common benefits of IV vitamin therapies include boosted energy levels, stronger immune system, quick hydration, headache recovery, improved mental clarity, reduced anxiety symptoms, supplemental cancer treatment, anti-aging capabilities, and overall feeling of well-being. 

Charlotte’s transition from eldercare to IV vitamin therapy appealed to her because it provides an opportunity to give back to the Palm Beach County communities while building a family legacy. The DRIP BaR is considered to be an accessible luxury in a day spa environment.

The skills required to be a successful healthcare executive and an entrepreneur in a medical spa are closely aligned. Both roles require strong leadership and strategic thinking skills to navigate complex regulatory environments, increasing organizational growth. Healthcare is considered a non-passive activity where people no longer wait for an illness to strike to react. The DRIP BaR Royal Palm Beach offers alternative non-drug therapies to support a patient’s optimum health and everyday lifestyle.

The mission of The DRIP BaR intersects with Charlotte’s values when it comes to extending beyond traditional perceptions of healthcare and includes all aspects of youthful living. Each service offered at The DRIP BaR is motivated by the fundamental focus of supporting the best health for all clients.

Palm Beach County Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society Strongly Opposes Public Destruction of Endangered Lands at Jonathan Dickinson State Park in Martin County

Palm Beach County Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society Strongly Opposes Public Destruction of Endangered Lands at Jonathan Dickinson State Park in Martin County

Public Meeting Scheduled for August 27 in Stuart

(West Palm Beach, FL – August 22, 2024) The Palm Beach County Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society (PBCC FNPS), dedicated to promoting the preservation, conservation and restoration of native plants and native plant communities of Florida, is strongly opposed to plans that would replace large stretches of Florida’s majestic Jonathan Dickinson State Park at Hobe Sound with three new golf courses.

The nonprofit organization encourages opponents to this effort to attend a public meeting on Tuesday, August 27, 3:00 to 4:00 pm, at the River Room, 201 SW Flagler Avenue in Stuart, for a presentation by the Department of Environmental Protection regarding the proposed amendment to the Jonathan Dickinson State Park unit management plan to authorize the sale of 1,000 acres of park property to a developer to construct two 18-hole golf courses and one 9-hole golf course, removing the observation tower and boardwalk now used by many visitors to observe native vegetation and wildlife in the park.

Allegedly, people can obtain a copy of the agenda from the Department of Environmental Protection by e-mailing a request to: JonathanDickinsonSPpublicmeeting@floridadep.gov.

This magnificent State Park was established in 1950, and encompasses endangered Atlantic Coastal Scrub forests, home to the southernmost remaining population of Florida Scrub Jay and a large population of the Four-petal Pawpaw, both Federally listed species.  The site also protects the Loxahatchee Wild and Scenic River, freshwater and saltwater wetlands, all original native habitats of “Real Florida.”  Whatever decisions were made in recent months or years were only announced recently, with a one-week notice for a public meeting, followed two days later by a final advisory group session. 

In early August, the Office of Park Planning was directed by the Executive Office of the Governor to compose nine amendments to existing management plans for nine state parks. The office was directed to drop/hold other tasks and compose these amendments as quickly as possible.

Traditionally, management plans and management plan amendments require general public meetings and advisory group meetings. To fulfill these requirements, presumably as quickly as possible, eight public meetings across eight counties are going to be scheduled for August 27, and one advisory group session is going to be held on Thursday, August 29. The advisory group session will be held via Teams, where all 9 amendments are to be discussed.

The Office of Park Planning has been directed to play pre-recorded presentations, then receive and record feedback at these meetings without answering questions.

Following this public engagement phase, the Office of Park Planning will be submitting these documents to the Acquisition and Restoration Council (ARC) for approval, which would allow DEP to begin seeking funding and laying the groundwork for construction. The Office of Park Planning is to have these documents submitted to ARC in time for presumed approval in September.

The amendments propose the following, listed below in order of severity regarding pending habitat loss:

Jonathan Dickinson State Park (Martin County):

+ An 18-hole and 9-hole golf course in the Atlantic Ridge scrub community east of the Brightline, encompassing roughly 550 acres

+ An 18-hole golf course in the Atlantic Ridge scrub west of the Brightline, encompassing roughly 500 acres

Anastasia State Park (St. Johns County):

+ A park lodge with up to 350 rooms in the maritime hammock

+ A disc golf course in the maritime hammock

+ Pickleball courts in the maritime hammock

Topsail Hill Preserve State Park (Walton County):

+ A park lodge with up to 350 rooms

+ A disc golf course in the scrubby flatwoods south of the cabin area

+ Pickleball courts

Camp Helen State Park (Bay County):

+ New cabins and/or glamping at the northern end of the park on Lake Powell, within Panhandle Coastal scrub

Grayton Beach State Park (Walton County):

+ A new restroom at the beach access area near the cabins

+ 10 new cabins

+ A disc golf course

+ Pickleball courts

Hillsborough River State Park (Hillsborough County):

+ A disc golf course

+ Pickleball courts

Honeymoon Island State Park (Pinellas County):

+ Pickleball courts

Dr. Von Mizell – Eula Johnson State Park (Broward County)

+ Pickleball courts

Oleta River State Park:

+ Disc golf course

+ Pickleball court
