As we wind down the Wellington equestrian season, we take a look back this issue at the 2013 Winter Equestrian Festival at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center, and the new Ridge at Wellington show series that brought riders and guests behind the gates into some of Wellington’s most amazing private show jumping facilities, including Deeridge Farm and Mida Farm.

Thanks to mom Jessica Jean Williamson for this photo. Baby Alice is almost 2, and has recently become the proud owner of an ASPCA-rescued mini. She is so enthusiastic, brushes him by herself, insists on filling the water buckets (even if they are already full) and hand-feeding him. Mom, a lifelong equestrian, found the jacket on clearance and couldn’t resist a photo shoot. Alice takes her horse life very seriously, and her family cannot wait to watch this passion grow.

“I have tried every diet known to man (or moms) these last few years – to no avail.” Alyson continued to tell me her story. “For example, this past summer, my best friend � ew me to their home in Sonoma for an entire month. We ate nothing but organic everything, lean protein, I drank 150 ounce-plus of water a day and did a high intensity workout every morning mixing up interval training with boot camp at her gym. In exactly 30 days – I lost a grand total of THREE pounds. I didn’t even lose the initial ‘water weight’ everyone else loses.” I empathized, “It’s hard to stay motivated with minimal results.” “I’m willing to starve myself, if that would work. I even did two rounds of hCG. My wallet’s lighter, but that’s about it.” “The FDA recently published a website, www.fda.gov/hcgdiet, detailing how hCG diet products are illegal, and how restrictive diets such as that one can cause electrolyte disturbances, an irregular heartbeat and are potentially fatal.” I continued, “But looking at your diet history, I don’t think the problem is one of eating too much.” “Dr. Woliner, what else could it be? I have a friend that blew up taking Abilify for her depression, and another while on Actos for diabetes, but I’m not on any medications.” “It’s true that many drugs have weight gain as a common side e� ect [1]. But there are other causes of weight gain. With your other symptoms of cold intolerance, fatigue, and constipation, I’m thinking that you have an untreated thyroid condition [2].” “I begged my other doctors to treat me for that, but they all said no.” “Some doctors focus too much on lab tests without considering the patient’s history and physical exam � ndings [3]. Thyroid hormone resistance is more common than people realize.” Alyson sat with a puzzled look on her face. “So, even if these doctors said my tests were normal, I might still have a thyroid problem? [4]” “The word ‘normal’ has many meanings. There is a di� erence between ‘common’ and ‘optimal’ [5]. Rather than using a range that includes people who are overweight and being treated for high cholesterol and other conditions, perhaps it would be better to use narrower ranges of persons who feel ‘dandy’ [6].” “Does anyone even use that word anymore?” “My practice is built on patient-to-patient referrals. Just liking my bedside manner is not enough to convince your friends to see me. You have to glow. So yes, I do plan on making you feel dandy.” After � nishing Alyson’s physical exam, my sta� used our Korr indirect calorimetry machine to measure her metabolic rate [7]. “You’re at ‘minus 20%’. That’s one of the slowest metabolism’s I’ve ever seen!” “How do we � x that?” “I use a holistic approach that combines behavior changes, diet, exercise, supplements, and of course medications [8,9]. I prefer to use T3 based drugs as they have been shown to cause signi� cantly more weight loss than T4 drugs such as Synthroid alone [10].” As I ramped up Alyson’s dose of thyroid medication, her fatigue and other symptoms began to resolve. To be on the safe side, I periodically rechecked her EKG and bone density, which remained normal [11]. “Dr. Woliner, your scale says I only lost 49 pounds, but at home, naked, I’m down 51!”

Former Wellington Councilwoman Laurie Cohen was hired in late April as Wellington’s new attorney, replacing longtime counsel Jeff Kurtz, who was dismissed by the Wellington Village Council late last year. Cohen was the council’s second choice for the job. Council members only agreed to open negotiations with her after failing to reach a contract agreement with attorney Don Dufresne. At a special meeting April 22, Deputy Village Manager John Bonde explained that the contract approved by Cohen included a $165,000 starting salary with a guaranteed $10,000 increase after one year. However, Vice Mayor Howard Coates pointed out that during interviews, Cohen had suggested a starting salary of $150,000. Council members agreed that the salary was too high, given Cohen’s initial offer. “That’s what led me to put her at the top of my list,” Coates said. He was also concerned about the automatic increase. “I think it’s something we can consider at the end of the first year,” said Coates, who is also an attorney. “If we’re not happy with her performance, I don’t want an automatic increase.” Mayor Bob Margolis agreed. “If you take the starting salary and the pay increase, that is a $25,000 difference,” he said. Councilman John Greene, who left the meeting early, was not happy with the entire process. He wanted to go back and reopen negotiations with Dufresne, who was seeking a starting salary of $200,000 when negotiations broke off. The majority of the council did not agree and offered Cohen a counteroffer of $150,000 without the automatic increase. Council members opted to recess the meeting and reconvene the next afternoon to hear Cohen’s decision. She accepted the offer and will take over in early May.

RV Plan Shelved Again — Plans for governing recreational vehicle use in Wellington’s Equestrian Preserve were once again waylaid last month after

council members worried the changes could allow for the proliferation of the temporary homes. Council members decided to table the ordinance, which would have permitted one RV on 2.5 to 5 acres, two RVs on 5 to 10 acres and three RVs on properties of 10 acres or more. Property owners would be able to use the temporary housing only for six months during the equestrian season, Equestrian Master Plan Director Mike O’Dell said. Despite being prohibited, O’Dell said that there are a number of RVs in the area illegally. Councilman John Greene was skeptical of Wellington’s ability to enforce the rules if people are already flouting the ban. “We have an ordinance right now that doesn’t allow RVs, period,” he said. “Now we want to put an ordinance in place that allows limited RVs based on property size. What is going to be different?” Greene worried the ordinance would just increase the number of RVs. Mayor Bob Margolis suggested that the council table the matter. “There are so many concerns that I’m uncomfortable even passing this through first reading,” he said.

PDQ Gets OK For SR 7 — Despite concerns about a “fast-food row” on State Road 7, members of the Wellington Village Council agreed last month to allow another fast-food restaurant in the Village Green Center. The proposed changes would allow the property owner to shift 14,738 square feet of space formerly allotted for office space to general use, and also would allow for a 4,272-square-foot fast-food restaurant. The property already is home to a McDonald’s, a Taco Bell and a Buffalo Wild Wings. The proposed restaurant on the new site is PDQ, a “fast-casual” restaurant created by Outback Steakhouse founder Tim Gannon, a leader in Wellington’s polo community. Councilman Matt Willhite said he would like to see development of the other aspects of the project, especially the office space.

Helene Weiss is a proud grandmother who will do anything for her grandson Jeremy Weiss — even get 19 men from his a cappella group, Yale University’s Spizzwinks, accepted as guests in the homes of friends and neighbors in the Wycliffe Golf & Country Club.

Wycliffe Community Comes Together To Host Visiting Spizzwinks SingersStory by Jessica GregoirePhotos by Abner Pedraza and Jessica Gregoire

The high-spirited singers perform throughout the world, from the White House to as far away as Asia, turning traditional and contemporary songs into quirky a cappella performances that captivate audiences.

The Spizzwinks, who perform only during school breaks, were coming down to Florida for their annual spring tour. They had a few performances throughout the state, including at Disney World, and needed places to stay. Jeremy, who knows that his grandmother is resourceful and good at organizing events, asked her for help.

“He’s very busy with school, and he

thought that grandma could help him,” Weiss recalled. “Since I sell group tickets for a lot of performances like the Palm Beach Pops and at the Lake Worth Playhouse, he thought with all my contacts, I would be a good person to help with this tour.”

Weiss then got to work and did about three months of full-time planning. She sold tickets to Spizzwinks shows and even booked them a few performances at schools, temples and local venues such as the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center. She also got them a performance at Atlantis in Nassau, Bahamas. “Wellington was wonderful. The equestrian center went head over heels

over them, and they got a standing ovation,” Weiss said.

The Spizzwinks also performed at Temple Beth Torah in Wellington. “I’ve been getting calls and e-mails about how much people enjoyed their performance there, too,” she said.

All of this would not have been possible without the help of Diane and Dan Gower, Ingrid Fishman, Judy and Art Garcia, Elise and Leon Nagler, Sharon and Marty Richmond, Carol and Michael Molack, and Susan and Paul Brenner. These friends and neighbors each hosted several of the Spizzwinks in their home for about a week. They treated them like their own family and



made sure that they were as comfortable as possible.

Without their help, the Spizzwinks, who pay for their own travels, would have had to spend money of their own, which is limited. “Staying with host families helps them a lot financially,” Weiss said.

The Gowers hosted two of the Spizzwinks and did everything they could to make them feel as comfortable as possible. “We gave them a key to the house and had breakfast for them if they wanted it,” Diane said. “They were out of the house pretty early because they had performances almost every day.”

The Spizzwinks spent six days with the host families in mid-March. Although Weiss is well-known in Wycliffe, it was difficult finding lodging for them all. “Many of the people I asked said they couldn’t do it,” she said. “But the ones

who did, after I explained to them what the Spizzwinks were about, were excited and accepted the opportunity.”

The Garcias decided to host four of the boys because Judy, who toured in a college singing group, understands how difficult it can be. “I was on a voice scholarship at Temple University,” she said. “It was like what I did when I was in college. Every spring break, the concert choir went on a tour up the

East Coast. People would host us in their homes, and I was very appreciative of that.”

Some of the host families, such as the Naglers, have previously hosted college and high school groups in their home. “We had our grandson in another a cappella group from Maryland last year,” Elise said. “We hosted seven boys.”

When Weiss asked the Naglers about being a host for the Spizzwinks, it brought back memories from the previous year. “We said sure because we had enjoyed the boys the year before, and we knew it would be fun,” Elise said.

The Naglers also barbecued for the boys the first night they arrived. “Their flight came in really late that night, and we knew they would be hungry,” Leon said. “So I made them some hot dogs and hamburgers.”

For host Ingrid Fishman, her time with the six boys she hosted was cut short when she had to take an unexpected trip to Brazil for a family emergency.

Once the singers arrived, Fishman made them feel at home by preparing a home-cooked meal and taking them on a tour around Wycliffe. A few days later, she received the news from Brazil that her brother was ill. “I had to go,” Fishman said. “But I allowed the boys to stay in my house while I was gone.”

The boys were appreciative of her kindness and trust. “They sent me messages while I was in Brazil and asked me how my brother was,” Fishman recalled.

The Molacks were honored to host three of the Spizzwinks. “It was a wonderful learning experience,” Carol said. “These gentlemen are from all

around the country and are going to be our future leaders.”

She was also impressed with their wit. “They were intelligent and multitalented young men,” Carol said. “Their comfort level was also great, and they were easy to get along with.”

The Richmonds, who are good friends with Weiss and her husband, Erwin, hosted two of the Spizzwinks. “We knew Jeremy because we saw him perform about two years ago when he came by himself to our club and put on a lovely show for us. I was more than happy to help out,” Sharon said. “It was a very nice experience because they were charming, appreciative and pretty independent, so I did not have to do much for them aside from making them breakfast in the morning.”

One memorable experience that the Richmonds had with the boys was the

night they performed at the Boca Pointe Country Club. “There was a professional makeup artist there who made them up into animals like a tiger,” she said. “When they got home, they shared that experience with us, and we really had a lot of fun.”

As soon as Susan and Paul Brenner heard about the Spizzwinks, they knew they had to host two of the boys. “We thought it was a nice and fun thing to do,” Susan said. “We are also a musical family that raised two boys. We thought it would be nice to have two college boys in the house again.”

The experience was unforgettable. “They had such a remarkable presence for young men that age,” Susan said. “They were just delightful to have, and I would definitely host them again.”

The bond between a mother and her child is strong. With the first flutter in the womb, an attachment begins that will forever tie the two together. A physical relationship of providing life, nutrition and sustenance for the baby quickly becomes an emotional relationship.

Babies depend on their mother’s wisdom from the moment they arrive into this world, and this dynamic continues through the early teen years, when new roles begin to take shape. It isn’t until adulthood, often when the child becomes a parent, that the true meaning of his or her mother’s ongoing role becomes most transparent.

The job of mothers around the world is a delicate balance of caring for children and at the same time themselves. Mothers wear many hats, and doing so is not an easy task. Great mothers love their children while taking care of their physical and emotional needs.

Yet a more subtle approach to being a great mother is always staying true to one’s self. Never give up on the things that we enjoy and make us happy. Don’t be a martyr! Don’t be Wonder Woman, be a mom. Give up on perfection; it is rarely achieved and sets moms up for failure. Ditch the guilt; it is not helpful and a waste of good time and energy. Develop patience early on, as this will get us through many of life’s events, large and small. Teach children to be self-reliant. Let them make mistakes. Laugh and have fun along the way.

Happy Mother’s Day! Our wish to all mothers is that you take the time to celebrate not only your children and your family, but also yourself.

The FTI Consulting Winter Equestrian Festival’s 2013 season came to a close with many memorable moments, from kids of all ages enjoying the arrival of a real Venetian carousel to a contest winner realizing his dream to compete at WEF to a married couple at WEF for the first time winning first and third in the largest grand prix class.

2013Winter Equestrian Festival Wraps Up, Leaving Behind Memorable Moments


The Palm Beach International Equestrian Center set a new nightly record with 8,600 fans attending the $500,000 FTI Consulting Finale Grand Prix CSI 5*. This created an electric atmosphere for the event.

Winning rider Alvaro de Miranda aboard AD Rahmannshof’s Bogeno was thrilled to place for the first time at the top of a major class together with his

wife Athina Onassis de Miranda aboard Camille Z. It was a moment he will remember forever. “I’m really, really happy, especially to have good results and leave with good memories,” he said.

With points accumulated throughout the 12 weeks, the top four riders to win the $100,000 FTI Consulting Rider Challenge bonus were Kent Farrington

in first with the most points, Conor Swail second, Reed Kessler third and Beezie Madden fourth.

Top riders expressed their gratitude for the fans’ support and cheering them on throughout the season. “All the way around, the ring was packed, which was really exciting,” rider Charlie Jayne said. “The crowd was really behind you.”

Great Charity ChallengeAdds Another$1.5 Million tolocAl chArities

The fourth annual FTI Consulting Great Charity Challenge presented by Fidelity Investments was another success this year at the Winter Equestrian Festival.

The event, held Jan. 26, raised approximately $1.5 million to bring the full total of money awarded over four years to $4.2 million. There have been 93 Palm Beach County charities that have benefitted from the event, with some winning their entire yearly operating budget just in one night’s competition. The Great Charity Challenge has become the largest single-day charitable distribution for an event in the State of Florida.

Over 200 Palm Beach County charities enter the random draw every year to be a part of the Great Charity Challenge. From there, the 34 participating charities are randomly paired with each team. In the spirit of giving, each charity is a guaranteed winner, taking home a minimum of $10,000. The equestrian community proudly participates not only in contributions, but with world-class riders donating their time to compete for charity.

The top five money-earning teams that have received grants through their participation in the Great Charity Challenge are:

1. Wheels for Kids: $210,000.

2. The Education Foundation of Palm Beach County: $193,000.

3. The Step By Step Foundation: $150,000.

4. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation: $150,000.

5. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County: $135,750.

Equestrian Sport Productions looks forwardto next year’s Great Charity Challenge witha goal of raising $2 million for worthy,local charities.

Shane Sweetnam echoed the same sentiment.

“WEF has done a great job this year,” he said. “They had such a great crowd, and the standard of jumping has been fantastic every week. Every year I think WEF gets bigger and better.”

That remains the goal of Equestrian Sport Productions CEO Mark Bellissimo.

“Our dream of creating an inclusive, family-friendly environment has been embraced by this community, and together we are creating new and exciting opportunities to enjoy and learn more about horse sport,” he said. “I want to thank everyone from the riders, owners and trainers who every

year advance the level of competition, to the dedicated team at ESP and the spectators whose enthusiasm makes it all worthwhile.”

Saturday Night Lights has become a Wellington hot spot destination for families and singles looking for an exciting sporting event at a venue offering everything from pizza and ice cream to VIP champagne dining. The Bank of America Family Festival — with petting zoos, pony rides, face painting, bounce houses, magicians, jugglers and the new carousel — was a huge success, and on speed dial in the “Mommy, please” section.

A program with Wellington-area schools also provided a valuable opportunity for them to fundraise

at the show as well as sing the national anthem and showcase their musical programs.

The beautiful grass derby field at the Stadium enticed fans to come and picnic with entire families and pooches in tow, setting a new standard for the golf cart tailgate.

One of the proudest moments of the season was January’s FTI Consulting Great Charity Challenge, which raised $1.5 million for 34 Palm Beach County charities. That brought the event’s four-year total to $4.2 million, making it the single largest net charitable event in Florida.

Continuing to innovate the sport of show jumping, Equestrian Sport Productions saw fans cheer on their favorite in the “Battle of the Sexes,” which the women won yet again.

The organizers also introduced the Hollow Creek Farm Young Rider Nations Cup, which showcased not only young talent from around the world, but some of the most vocal cheering sections, and proved that good sportsmanship is a global practice.

“It’s very nice to be sponsoring the international week again,” G&C Farm owner Gustavo Mirabal said. “With the Nations Cup and the Junior Nations Cup, it is fantastic for everyone. This year, the Junior Nations Cup is very exciting where young riders can see their heroes then ride in the same arena.”

The Artisan Farms Young Rider Grand Prix Series and Spy Coast Farm Young Horse Shows proved valuable experiences for up-and-coming riders and horses, and gave spectators their own front seat to see the equestrian stars of tomorrow.

Riders from 33 countries and 50 states

participated in creating a vibrant international environment. Grand prix class winners included Eiken Sato of Japan, Ben Maher of Great Britain, Daniel Deusser of Germany and Conor Swail of Ireland.

Irish rider Andrew Bourns won the $50,000 Hermès Jumper Derby aboard Gatsby. “It means a lot to win a class in Wellington,” he said. “People dream of this their entire lives and never come close. To me, it’s a big occasion.”

The United States win of the $75,000 Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup presented by G&C Farm reminded everyone that riding as a team brings out the best in everyone. Kent Farrington, Reed Kessler, Laura Kraut and Beezie Madden, who usually compete against each other, enjoyed joining forces to best the other six competing countries.

There is something for everyone at the Winter Equestrian Festival, from short stirrup riders to top champions, where 72 different circuit champions were awarded. Competitors ranged in age from 2 to 70. Even George Morris at his “retirement” ceremony said he wasn’t taking his boots off yet.

HH Prince Faisal Al Shalan expressed beautifully what is most joyous about the experience at this unique equestrian event.

“We are fortunate that the horse is so noble that they allow us to share their strength and passion,” he said.

Wellington has become a hotbed for junior polo players. During the high goal polo season from January through April, several junior tournaments take place, including the recent Buzz Welker Memorial Tournament at the Grand Champions Polo Club.

Junior Polo Tourney ShowcasesWellington’s Stars Of TomorrowStory by Sharon RobbPhotos by David Lominska

Based on the display of polo at the junior-level tournament, the sport’s future looks brighter than ever.

On a sun-drenched Monday afternoon, with 10-goal pro players Facundo and Gonzalito Pieres, Sapo Caset, Miguel Astrada and Adolfo Cambiaso watching from the sidelines with friends and family, junior polo players of all ages competed in the annual event in a fun, festive atmosphere.

In the featured game, the Polo School at Grand Champions defeated Lechuza Caracas, 7-4, to win the four-chukker championship. Matias Gonzalez and Justin Daniels each scored three goals. Grant Ganzi added one goal, and Benjamin Avendano played well defensively.

Gonzalez was named the

game’s Most Valuable Player. At 14, he recently made his 26-goal debut playing for injured Zacara team captain Lyndon Lea in the USPA Piaget Gold Cup.

“I have been playing these tournaments since I was 5 with my dad,” Gonzalez said. “After we play the 20 and high goal, we come back and teach the kids to give back to the sport, and so they get a chance. It’s nice to all grow up playing together. Hopefully, we will be doing this for the rest of our lives. My dream is to play high goal so they can teach me, and I can learn more.”

Ganzi, 14, a freshman at St. Andrew’s School in Boca Raton, is carrying on his family’s tradition in polo. He started playing polo at age 5 and competing seriously at age 12.

“It’s a great advantage to

play at a young age,” Ganzi said. “You get an early start, which is important if you want to be a pro. These junior tournaments are better than taking a lesson because I am learning how to be a team player and leader on the field. I play different positions, and it’s very helpful. In a lesson, I just work on hitting the ball.”

Daniels agreed. “Tournaments like this are important for junior polo, to get all these players out here and keep playing,” he said. “I have gotten a lot better because of these tournaments.”

The well-organized tournament was hosted by Marc and Melissa Ganzi at their well-manicured polo fields. Both Ganzis are captains of pro teams, Marc Ganzi with Audi and Melissa Ganzi with Piaget. They are active in promoting polo events at their Grand Champions Polo Club and in the community. Melissa Ganzi serves on the board of both the Polo Training Foundation

The Ganzis helped make the Buzz Welker Memorial Tournament a fun, memorable event. The day featured food truck Che Grill with four-star Argentine food; Donut Divas with fresh, piping-hot donuts; and kids face painting by Wellington-based Michele Rodriguez of the Glitter Station, all sponsored by the Ganzi family. Pro announcer Gus Whitelaw kept spectators informed and entertained throughout the day.

Several pros officiated, including Juan Bollini and Jason Crowder. While Bollini got a late polo start in his 20s, Crowder grew up playing in junior tournaments in California.

“When you are a kid, you look forward to tournaments like this,” Crowder said. “These kids work their butts off in the barns so they can come out here and play for a couple of hours. This helps the growth of polo; this is the future.”

Crowder was surprised by the level of play. “Some of these kids are scaring me a little bit, they are so good,” Crowder said. “You’ve got to start somewhere, and this is where you start. It’s important to have nice people like Marc and Melissa to make this all happen, because it’s hard to organize. They donate their time and money.”

A record 21 teams competed in Polo Training Foundation Florida’s Junior Polo Tournament. Players’ skill level ranged from advanced to intermediate, lower levels and lead-line for young children.

“I have been playing in the kids tournaments all my life,” said up-and-coming player Matt Coppola of Wellington. “The skill level of these players is unbelievable.”

The winner of the Buzz Welker Memorial Tournament was the Polo School at Grand Champions. Shown here are team members Justin Daniels, Grant Ganzi,

The morning fog cleared from an open grass field on a Saturday morning to reveal a breathtaking show jumping course — it was the day Deeridge Farm opened its gates to an exhilarating competition.

The Ridge At Wellington ShowsFill Niche, Opening The Gates ToRiveting Show Jumping CompetitionStory by Kendall Bierer Photos courtesy Phelps Media Group

Although the Wellington equestrian community has many stunning grass fields, March 23 marked the first time the center field at Deeridge Farm invited the public to compete on the Jacobs’ family property. Riders were welcomed to the field of the prestigious facility for the $175,000 Ridge at Wellington Invitational Grand Prix Series Finale.

The 2013 winter circuit has featured exciting new jumper action lying outside the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center. The Ridge at Wellington’s $175,000, 1.40m Invitational Grand Prix Series complemented the Winter Equestrian Festival for 10 weeks, offering a variety of venues for Level 2 jumpers as they honed their skills as riders, and those of their young horses.

For 10 weeks, the $15,000 Ridge at Wellington Invitational Grand Prix found a home at differing venues throughout the village. The brainchild of Olympic veteran Nona Garson and her business partner, George D’Ambrosio, the Friday Grand Prix series filled a niche in the equestrian community. With the 12-week Winter Equestrian Festival running nearby, the Ridge grand prix series allowed horses to experience new venues and not grow complacent in the same setting as they compete week after week.

Garson, who operates the Ridge at Wellington in Palm Beach Point, has put on lower-level schooling shows for years — locally deemed “Nona Shows” — to help young horses and riders grow. This year, the “Nona Shows” took a step in a new direction, offering a weekly 1.40m grand prix for 10 weeks, concluding with a $24,750 finale. It was

met with open arms as riders made the mile hack to the property to tackle the course.

“Really what we are doing is a need. Our focus is to develop our riders and develop our horses. It’s an investment on our end to do that, and that’s something we’re willing to do,” D’Ambrosio said. “Our goal is to have better riders, better horses, better conditions, better everything. We’re just trying to set some nice standards — a European standard of what show jumping really is.”

This season has also seen several benchmarks for Wellington; not only the opening of the illustrious Deeridge Farm but also hosting the competition at the beautiful Mida Farm and newly renovated “Tops Field.”

Victoria McCullough was first to step forward with a privately owned grass field, offering to host the series at her Mida Farm. McCullough’s property is one of the most coveted in Wellington. With rolling grass fields, lakes and luxurious barns, the property had become desolate after the previous owner left. McCullough stepped forward with Jan Tops to take on the overgrown shrubbery, and bring the once-immaculate polo field to its former glory and use it for show jumping.

“Mida was always important to me because it embraced a natural element; it is very reminiscent of Europe,” McCullough said. “The gates at Mida Farm should open, and you should share something this spectacular. People have fabulous horses they ship from far away, and they want to enjoy everything Florida has to offer. For me, Florida equates to grass. I am tired of the sand, and being in the same ring over such a long time.”

The opportunity to compete under conditions similar to those at top national and international events have attracted riders who have their sights set on those shows. The series drew out such top names as McLain Ward, Peter

Wylde, Laura Kraut, Candice King and eventual series-leading rider Andres Rodriguez.

The training facilities at Deeridge Farm feature top footing, including an outstanding grass field that has never before been used by riders outside of the Jacobs family. “It was our relationship with Nona and George that opened the gateway to have my parents’ farm used for the finale,” Charlie Jacobs said. “I feel as though this class truly complements the Winter Equestrian Festival and fills a niche for young horses and riders.”

Jacobs said that there’s room in Wellington for such shows. “With WEF

being a 12-week circuit, this series allows for riders to venture outside of the show grounds and ride on the grass field; it is a nice change,” he said. “I think that this is something that has a future and helps to promote our sport; we are thrilled to have been a part of it.”

Riders were able to enjoy the exceptional course design, first-rate footing and generous prizes. Top course designers such as David Ballard, Conrad Homfeld, Pierre Jolicoeur and Eric Hasbrouck created fair courses that provided a good challenge. It was Marie Hecart who rode to the top of the leaderboard during the finale at Deeridge Farm with her speedy mount Lalique, mastering Hasbrouck’s track

with blazing speed. She was able to best 54 entries as she secured the win with a double-clear effort in 37.206 seconds.

“I just started riding Lalique a few weeks ago on the grass, and I jumped at the opportunity to come to Deeridge and ride at another grass venue,” Hecart said. “I think the course was really good, and the footing was great. It made my horse really jump. I love having the opportunity to go to these classes.”

Riders, owners and spectators were invited to Deeridge Farm from the early morning hours well into the afternoon as the competition flowed steadily. Guests enjoyed a delicious catered breakfast and lunch, relaxed beneath the shade trees and made jovial conversation as they sat fieldside.

The pilot series hosted large numbers of entries each week, boasted low entry fees, high prize money and top-of-the-line courses for participating riders. After 10 weeks of competition, the series has found its niche in Wellington, accompanying the Winter Equestrian Festival, and the show managers guarantee its return for the 2014 season.

“We’re really excited and proud of how the series went,” Garson said. “The riders have all seemed to really enjoy it, as well as warm up to the system. Everyone liked our idea of an open in

gate, so they could show and do everything they had to… It is great for the horses to be ridden on some different footing, and this series was about having fun, as well as developing young riders and horses.”

Garson was also happy with how the show was embraced by the community. “Everyone seemed to love it, and it seemed to be great as the top riders went very fast and tested the footing nicely,” she said. “I’ve had people calling to congratulate us; the whole buzz has been really upbeat. We’re going to try to hone our ideas and bring in some more venues and keep it a fun, civilized horse showing… It gets you to take a little breath and concentrate on what you’re doing and getting back to a little more natural horse training.”

VISIONS Salon: The Color GroupReDefine, ReCreate, ReStore

With more than 25 years in the Wellington community, Visions has made a name for itself as a modern, cutting-edge salon. Slip into the salon’s relaxing

environment with its talented, friendly staff ready to transform your look.

Owner Tom Monticello noted that when it comes to hair, communication is key. “Hopefully a client would find a friendly environment with helpful people,” he said. “It’s also an experienced environment, where our hair stylists can make recommendations based on a lot of variables. We always have a consultation before any cut or chemical processing is done on a client.”

Your new hair style should be right for your look and for your lifestyle. “We take into account everything from your bone structure to your lifestyle to give you the best look that is also manageable,” Monticello said. “We, of course, want to give the client what they’re looking for. We don’t want to inject our style completely, but we want to make sure you get a look that fits you.”


Story by Lauren Miró Photos by Abner Pedraza


And understanding what the client wants and needs is a top priority. “Everyone has a different definition of long or short, or blonde or red,” he said. “We want to be absolutely sure you’re getting the style and color you want before we even touch your hair. Communication is so important.”

But no matter what look you’re going for, Visions can get you there.

“We see everyone from kids to grandparents,” Monticello said. “We believe in education. Every week we have a training program for our beginning and advanced stylists. So, we really stay on top of the newest techniques and trends.”

And now, after a stunning makeover,

the salon matches the chic styles clients have come to expect.

“We’ve totally renovated the salon,” Monticello said. “We have new equipment, and we made the main room more spacious. We took it from a Tuscan-style look to a more modern salon. There are big, floor-length mirrors, and it looks more like a New York salon.”

Monticello and his staff work with celebrated hair stylist Nick Arrojo, and offer a line of his exclusive professional products. Additionally, Arrojo stops by the salon several times a year to educate the staff and consult with clients.

Visions offers solely hair care and

styling, which allows its staff to perfect the art, Monticello said. “We really put the focus on hair,” he said. “We wanted to be able to do hair and excel in that one area.”

And for hair color, you’re in great hands — it’s the salon’s specialty.

“We’re known for our hair color work,” Monticello said. “I have worked for several hair color companies, and at any time two or three of our staff members are working for hair color companies.”

Visions Salon is open six days a week, including three nights with extended hours to accommodate the community. For more information, call (561) 790-1696 or visit www.vhsalon.com.

Chiropractor Dr. Louis Miller BringsA Holistic Approach To Treatment Story by Ron Bukley

Photo by Abner Pedraza

Chiropractor Dr. Louis Miller brings a holistic view to his patients’ treatment, which is why his Advanced Chiropractic Center of South Florida offers a wide variety of services and equipment to help them recover and maintain a healthy, well-rounded life.

Miller also offers classes on healthy living and nutrition. “This facility focuses on more than what most chiropractors offer,” he said.

Advanced Chiropractic’s wide range of equipment includes a hyperbaric chamber

that is effective in treating a number of conditions, from

helping heal bruises to improving

concentration and reducing

Miller sees patients with back injuries suffered during mundane activities such as picking up something off the floor. That is often caused by a lack of exercise.

“I know the body is more durable,” he said. “What happens is when muscles aren’t trained or those muscles are de-conditioned, they don’t fire the right way, so if you pick up something and you’re not used to using those muscles, yes, they will go out.”

Miller pointed out that the American Heart Association recommends exercise at least 30 minutes a day for anyone. “I can’t think of more than a handful of people who exercise more than 30 minutes a day,” he said. “If I can get 15 minutes two or three times a week, they’re going to see improvement.”

Miller also focuses on nutrition and conducts monthly lectures on current topics in healthcare, where he provides refreshments and occasional dinners. “The lectures are usually a drug-free approach to better health,” he said. “We talk about everything from what foods you should consistently include in your diet to activities you should be doing on a daily basis, to what things to avoid.”

He also tries to educate the patient on things that can improve their overall health. “Pain affects a lot, but we also try to bring up how your body holistically can take better care of you,” Miller said.

Advanced Chiropractic Center of South Florida is located at 5063 10th Ave. North in Greenacres. For more information, call (561) 432-1399 or visit www.lakeworthchiropractor.org.


sinus problems by increasing oxygen to the body, Miller said, explaining that the hyperbaric chamber features an oxygen concentrator.

“That increased oxygen gets absorbed in a greater concentration, and that absorption occurs in the blood plasma, the cerebral spinal fluid that bathes the brain and spinal cord, the synovial fluid and your lymphatic fluid,” he said, adding that the increased oxygen helps those systems function better with less bruising, swelling and inflammation. “It’s just phenomenal for so many different maladies.”

Miller also uses an Erchonia cold laser to treat injuries. “Laser has been proven for many years. In fact, many of the top collegiate teams and many professional teams utilize the laser in helping their athletes heal,” he said. “Where there is damage, that laser will be an asset to the patient.”

The center also has a variety of exercise equipment to aid in physical therapy. “The people who come in here are in pain,” he said. “They are hesitant to do any exercise. Balancing or doing any type of exercise is the last thing they want to do, but I tell them that exercise is the first thing they should be doing. I’m very aggressive in that approach. If you have an injury, I want to get you moving as soon as we can. We have about 50 to 75 different exercises that we take our patients through — not all of them at the same time, but we make that part of the treatment.”

The array of exercise equipment is one of the distinguishing characteristics between his and other chiropractic offices. “We have a lot here,” he said. “Some facilities just bypass that step.”

Andrew Burr Of Noble Realty Sees AStrong, Vibrant Real Estate Market Ahead

wellington real estate

Story by Deborah Welky Photo by Abner Pedraza


Andrew Burr of Noble Realty was bitten by the real estate bug early.

“I bought my own home for the first time when I was in my 20s,” Burr recalled. “It was the biggest decision I’d made in my life and, because I tend to be very analytical, I wanted to know as much about the process as I could. By the time I moved in, I knew almost as much as the Realtor.”

But the twists and turns of life took Burr in another direction. Originally from Bangor, Maine, he was a frequent visitor to Florida, but made the move permanent in 1999. He worked as a professional chef, caterer and business owner. Then, five years ago, Burr took some time off. “When I got out of the business, I was consciously trying not to make a career decision,” he said. “Then a situation presented itself to me that was a natural fit, and I transitioned into real estate. It turned out to be a great decision.”

Burr was tapped by a firm specializing in real estate auctions. “I came in when the boom was busted, so many people thought I was crazy,” he said. “The heyday was over, but I kind of got lucky that I missed that, because now I don’t know what I was missing. I went into auctions almost straightaway, because that’s where the market was.”

Real estate auctions became a specialty for Burr; however, they started tailing off last year.

“It was a unique product line, but we had gone through the phase of when they were really big,” Burr said. “I started looking at the landscape of the industry and made a move into residential real estate in November 2012 with broker Jasmine Velez of Noble Realty in the original Wellington Mall. Once again, it was a great move. The residential market in the western communities is showing a lot of movement.”

Currently, Burr is seeing many cash investors no longer looking for multi-family properties, but buying single-family homes. “Then they are renting them out to people who have been pushed out of their homes in short sales and foreclosures,” he explained. “Most of these people have good jobs and good incomes and they don’t want to lose their quality of life.”

Today, Burr specializes in residential homes as well as property management both in the western communities and

on the island of Palm Beach. He has good vibes about the future.

“In Wellington particularly, if we put a property on the market on a Monday, in many cases we have six, seven, eight offers by the end of the week,” he said. “Anytime anything is moving quickly, it’s a little volatile, but right now things are moving quickly in a positive direction. A lot depends on the lending institutions. They’re the ones who are driving this. They’re not letting loose of homes as quickly as they’re taking them back.”

To reach Andrew Burr, call Noble Realty at (561) 793-5117, his cell at (561) 324-8914 or e-mail him at [email protected].

For Carolyn Brown, the act of volunteering doesn’t come from some lofty ideal or a deep, personal place. It’s simply a matter of common sense and doing what her mother told her to do.

“My mother always said, ‘Carolyn, you should always find the time to stop and give back to the community.’ So for me, I’m doing what I know to be the right thing,” she said.

If you’ve been to the Wellington Municipal Complex anytime in the past two years, you’ve probably met Brown, this month’s nominee for Wellington The Magazine’s Volunteer of the Year Award. She’s the official greeter.

Brown has been living in Wellington with daughters Crystal, a pharmacist, and Jalynsey, a probation officer, since 2003. She calls her arrival here “a dream come true.” While she truly loves the village, a big reason for that is purely geographical in nature.

“I’d been commuting to work from the Glades to West Palm Beach for 12 years,” she said. “The drive was a big challenge. It was great to finally move closer.”

Besides her job with the village — “I

enjoy greeting visitors as they come in for information and service,” she said — Brown gives of her time to many organizations. As a retired school administrator and teacher who got her master’s degree at Nova Southeastern University, she takes particular pride in serving as a student mentor in the Take Stock in Children program.

“I get to visit my student weekly at her school,” Brown said. “As I arrive, she’s already waiting. My primary focus is her education as related to her grades and helping her grow to become the best human being she can be.”

Brown’s love of education is also well served through her position as a board member of the Friends of the Palm Beach County Library System. “I enjoy planning and carrying out fundraisers so that money is available to assist our local libraries in providing activities for the communities,” she said.

Perhaps nothing defines the reasons why volunteering means so much to Brown more than her work with her sorority sisters from college.

“As a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, West Palm Beach Chapter, I’m involved with many

volunteer projects that benefit our communities,” she said. “I provide toiletry items to the local homeless resource center. We collect school supplies and give them out to local children. We are currently working on a start-up gardening project, and the vegetables grown will be given back to the community. We will be teaching our girls group about responsibility and ownership as well as leadership. So as you can see, I’m extremely involved with volunteerism.”

Of course, it’s not all work and no play for Brown. Partaking in all Wellington has to offer is a family affair for her.

“Now that I’m retired, I get the opportunity to spend more time with my daughters,” she said. “We attend concerts at the village amphitheater, movie nights, the food trucks on Thursday evenings and bingo on Wednesdays, and we are always serving our church. I’ve also attended several events involving show horses. Just being there was an experience of a lifetime — great performances, and the atmosphere was amazing.”

A lifetime of volunteering has made Brown somewhat of an expert on the subject, and she’s more than

wellington volunteerhappy to offer some advice to those who would follow in her footsteps.

“I feel that you must be willing to provide your time, skills and, when necessary, your finances in order to be an effective volunteer,” Brown said. “You should always be on time, make sure to dress accordingly and appropriately, be respectful, do what you were trained to do and think positive at all times.”

Here’s what not to do: “Don’t overstep your bounds; remember, you are a volunteer,” Brown said. “Don’t provide any information that you were not given permission to pass along. Stay in your assigned area, and never, ever gossip. What goes on in the village stays in the village.”

Brown doesn’t have to search for reasons to volunteer. “I know that when I give back to the community, it’s what I’m supposed to do,” she said. “Volunteering has always been part of me. I’m helping where there’s a need for my services. I volunteer in the village because I enjoy being there and providing service to our residents and assisting in projects that people are working on. As a volunteer for all the agencies, groups and the village, I’ve received so much positive support. I’ve been provided with all the training needed for the work I do. The work environment is always positive, and I enjoy what I do so very much.”

Brown sees a bright future for both Wellington and herself. “I feel that much growth will take place in the village in the coming years, and as a resident, I’d like to continue volunteering and enjoying the positive lifestyle afforded to all residents in the village,” she said.

The farm is located just off the bridle path and near Grand Prix Village, making it a short hack away from the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center. A 14-stall barn sits on the property, along with a large arena and turnout paddocks, but plans are in place for a new 20-stall barn.

First Watch — “the Daytime Café” — has brought its fresh and fabulous breakfast, brunch and lunch to Wellington. Now open in Wellington Green Plaza on State Road 7, the restaurant offers a unique take on classic meals.

The popular restaurant concept first opened in 1983 in California, but relocated its headquarters to Bradenton, Fla., in 1986. “We’re celebrating 30 years,” Regional Manager Les King said.

There are 105 First Watch restaurants, including 37 in Florida. The restaurant has made itself a household name across the state, engaging in the communities and becoming a neighborhood staple.

First Watch Chief Marketing Officer Chris Tomasso noted that the restaurant believes in maintaining a family-friendly, neighbor-like atmosphere.

“We don’t consider ourselves a chain,” he said. “We are more of a network of neighborhood restaurants. We really go out of our way to be active in the community. We focus on local activities.”

First Watch expanded into South Florida in 2006, but just opened in Wellington a few months ago, Tomasso said. The restaurant also has locations in Sunrise, Stuart and Boca Raton. “Wellington really fits with our demographic,” he

said. “It’s a family-friendly, vibrant community.”

King noted that those familiar with First Watch have been enthusiastic to see the restaurant open.

“The community seems to be excited that we’re here,” he said. “When the sign went up [on the building], we had people come to see if we were open yet. People know the restaurant from other locations and know they’re going to have a good experience.”

The philosophy is simple: fresh food, never reheated, made to order and to the customer’s satisfaction. “All of our food is made fresh,” King said. “There are no microwaves, no fryers and no heat lamps in our restaurants.”

Everything is made in house, he noted. “We make our own granola, our own French toast batter,” King said. “We house roast our Roma tomatoes and onions. It’s really quality food.”

Tomasso noted that this is uncommon for most restaurants with multiple locations. “When a chain has more than 100 restaurants like we do, most are likely to outsource that,” he said. “But we make everything fresh in house.”

First Watch offers a comfortable

1. Pecan Dijon Salad & Monterey Club: The salad is a mix of chicken breast, bacon, avocado, pecans, tomato and carrots with cheddar and Monterey jack, topped with honey Dijon. The Monterey Club packs turkey, bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato, Monterey jack cheese and mayonnaise between slices of multi-grain bread.

2. Quinoa Power Bowl: Quinoa with kale, shredded carrots and roasted tomatoes, topped with grilled, all-natural lemon chicken, basil, pesto sauce, feta crumbles and fresh herbs.

3. Multigrain Blueberry Pancakes: Light and fluffy with bursts of blueberry goodness.

4. Farmhouse Chicken Hash: Two eggs, any style, on top of seasoned potatoes, all-natural white-meat chicken, roasted zucchini, onions, red peppers and melted cheddar cheese, topped with a pesto hollandaise sauce.

5. Floridian French Toast: Sourdough bread lathered in French toast batter with wheat germ and cinnamon sugar, then topped with banana, kiwi and berries.

environment from the early morning until the mid-afternoon. “We’re open for breakfast, brunch and lunch from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.,” King said. “We offer a full menu from open to close. There is no cut off time for breakfast. You can come in at 7 a.m. and have a turkey sandwich, or you can come in at noon and have eggs.”

The large space offers a number of dining options. Guests can choose from tables outside, or tables, booths and hightops indoors. The space is bright, replete with natural light, and the atmosphere is modern and fresh.

A large mural adorns the back wall, giving the space a pop of color, and an oversized chalkboard displays the day’s specials. Meanwhile, a coffee pot brews delicious, complimentary Sunrise Select coffee.

From eggs and bacon to sandwiches, skillets and everything in between, the menu offers up familiar favorites served to perfection.

If you’re in the mood for breakfast, try a stack of multigrain pancakes ($3.69 - $5.99). You can choose from 10 varieties, but watch out — they are huge. “People don’t realize how large they are,” King said. “They ask for a stack of pancakes with their meal, and we have to warn them.”

The blueberry pancakes are a crowd pleaser, light and fluffy, with bursts of blueberry goodness.

A must-try item is the Floridian French Toast ($8.69). The sourdough bread is lathered in the house French toast batter with wheat germ and powdered cinnamon sugar, then topped with banana, kiwi and berries. The dish is fresh and filling, and the kiwi is a unique touch that sets the dish apart from anything like it.

For a more hearty meal, the Farmhouse Chicken Hash ($8.89) is packed with two eggs, any style, on top of seasoned potatoes, all natural white-meat chicken, house-roasted zucchini, onions, red peppers and melted cheddar cheese, all topped with a pesto hollandaise sauce. The meal is satisfying but not overfilling, and the hollandaise adds zest to the meal.

One great thing about the menu is that First Watch offers healthful substitutions, in addition to their healthier choices.

“We have lots of health-conscious people who come in,” King said. “We don’t charge for substitutions. If you want egg whites, or gluten-free, we’ll make that for you at no extra charge.”

First Watch also offers a varied lunch menu, with sandwiches, salads, power bowls and more to choose from. If you can’t decide, pick two.

Guests can choose the “2 for You” option, pairing half a sandwich, half a salad and a cup of soup — customer’s choice — for only $7.39.

A great combination is the Pecan Dijon Salad and the Monterey Club. The salad is a mix of white-meat chicken breast, bacon, avocado, pecans, tomato and carrots with cheddar and Monterey jack, topped with honey Dijon mustard. The stacked Monterey Club packs turkey, bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato, Monterey jack cheese and mayonnaise between two slices of multi-grain bread.

One special, limited-time item that is full of flavor is the Quinoa Power Bowl ($8.29). The meal is full of protein, with kale, shredded carrots and house-roasted tomatoes, topped with grilled, all-natural lemon chicken, basil, pesto sauce, feta crumbles and fresh herbs. The mix of flavors is delightful, and the meal is good for you.

Ultimately, King said that First Watch wants to see customers leave satisfied. “We love seeing the satisfaction when guests walk out after they’ve had a great experience,” he said.

First Watch is located in Wellington Green Plaza at 2335 S. State Road 7, Suite 1100. For more information, call (561) 795-5500 or visit www.firstwatch.com.
