March, 2013 – The Wellington Chamber of Commerce Welcomes
The Wellington Chamber of Commerce Welcomes
Horace Mann Insurance – Educators Premier Insurance
As A New Member
The Wellington Chamber of Commerce recently had a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for Horace Mann Insurance – Educators Premier Insurance located at 12230 W. Forest Hill Boulevard, Suite 103, Wellington Florida. Donna Peterich is the Manager of the office. If you are a person receiving a paycheck from any school system, you will want to speak with Peterich regarding discounts you will receive in your insurance policies through her company.
Peterich was born and raised in Lakeland, Florida and she moved to Wellington in 1998. Her education includes a B.A. in Marketing from Auburn University and she played on the tennis team. After her graduation, Peterich went straight into the insurance business. “My dad was in the insurance business.” she explained with a smile.
Horace Mann Insurance was created for educators’ insurance needs in 1945. The company is based out of Springfield Illinois and currently has 800 agents nationwide with five agents in Palm Beach County. The company is named after Horace Mann who was a big voice and strong advocate of the creation of public schools in the mid 1800’s. He pushed for both school buildings and trained, professional teachers to educate and discipline unruly children in order to turn them into judicious republican citizens. Modernizers and the Whig Party approved this idea at the time.
Horace Mann was a politician and served in the Massachusetts House of Representatives, Massachusetts Senate, Massachusetts State Board of Representatives, and the U.S. House of Representatives. Historians refer to Horace Mann as “Father of the Common School Movement.”
Peterich said that educators are her niche market. Her company provides educators home, auto, and life insurance plus annuities. She is also an independent agent so she writes policies through other companies to non-educators for home and auto insurance as well.
When asked to describe her company, Peterich said, “Number one, I have two gals working for me and we’re a great team. Christine is a wealth of knowledge. We offer great customer service. We go out of our way to explain coverages and to help customers whether they are going to come to us or not.”
“Regarding the homeowner’s market, if we can’t help them, we’ll educate them regarding how to keep their rates down with their current company. We have a lot of expertise behind us.”
” As far as educators go, we have excellent discounts for teachers that no other company can provide. We have a lot of benefits on the school premises as far as theft and vandalism, reducing deductibles, and things like that for educators. We have special life insurance rates for educators as well. That’s still our main focus.”
Peterich added that Horace Mann Insurance – Educators Premier Insurance is busy helping out in the community. “We provide defensive driving course for AARP so those people can get discounts on auto insurance whether they are with us on not. We offer those classes right here at Lake Wellington Professional Centre.” Their staff also volunteers at schools reading to children. Petrich said, “We want to partner with and help the schools.”
For more information about Horace Mann Insurance – Educators Premier Insurance call 561.214.6164. The email is donnapeterich@horacemann.com and you can visit them at www.horacemann.com.

March, 2013 – LOCAL ARTIST AWARDED FIRST PLACE (MIXED MEDIA) SECOND YEAR IN A ROW AT ARTIGRAS
LOCAL ARTIST AWARDED FIRST PLACE (MIXED MEDIA) SECOND YEAR IN A ROW AT ARTIGRAS
Gilder recognized again for his use of unconventional medium to create art
Royal Palm Beach FL, Feb. 17, 2013 – B. Corey Johnson was recognized again as the leader in the mixed media category when he was awarded first place at the ArtiGras Art Festival at Abacoa Town Center in Jupiter this past weekend. He continues to be listed in this category in art shows across Florida because the medium he uses for his images does not fit any conventional classification.
Corey has pioneered a technique of creating images using metal leaf, ranging from pure 24 karat gold to copper and aluminum, which is then layered over wood or aluminum sheeting using traditional oil gilding techniques. He then applies various acid washes to chemically oxidize these metals, resulting in a patina that produces a broad range of the colors and textures. Most people are surprised when they learn that there is no form of paint anywhere in the image. He finishes them with a gilded frame that he hand carves to compliment the subject matter, creating a truly unique work of art.
“When applying to art shows across the state, it’s difficult for jury members to tell exactly what they are looking at from just a photograph”, Johnson said. “It’s reassuring to see that once actually viewed in person, the judges appreciate not only the process that I use, but the finished product as well.”
His first series, which was on display at ArtiGras last year, depicted the various breeds of Koi that are so realistic you feel as though you could reach in and pick them up out of the water. This year, Corey branched out into other subject matter including landscapes and butterflies. Many of his images are intended to be ‘symbolic self portraits’, but are of course left to the interpretation of the people viewing them.

March, 2013 – Wellington Debate’s Epic Philadelphia Weekend
Wellington Debate’s Epic Philadelphia Weekend
For the second consecutive year, Wellington Debate traveled to the Liberty Bell Classic Debate Invitational on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania and brought home a championship trophy.
In Public Forum Debate, the team of Rachel Ganon & Vinnie Gasso went 10-1 and took home first place honors from the UPenn tournament, scoring a 3-2 judges decision against Millburn in the finals.
In addition, the team of Ali Sina Booeshaghi & Yourui Ruan advanced to the octofinal round before being knocked out of the tournament.
It was Wellington’s third championship at a major national tournament since Paul Gaba became coach in 2002. The previous one was also earned at UPenn in 2012, when Ruan won Novice Lincoln Douglas Debate.
Wellington’s PFD teams of Sabrina Abesamis & Juliana Diatezua, Kevin Murphy & Greg Foster, and Sydney Rogalsky & Caitlyn Konopka eash narrowly missed advancing to break rounds as well.
By advancing to at least the quarterfinal round, both Ganon & Gasso earned a bid to the 2013 Tournament of Champions national invitational in Kentucky at the end of April.
