In While I will go out of my way On Thursday, September They will be back again to you soon! order to preserve the budget to save palms/trees there comes a time when I must approve their removal. I met with a Palm Beach County senior landscape representative, Mr. Rodney Swinger, to discuss the “do’s and don’ts” regarding the removal of cabbage palms and other protected species. According to Mr. Swonger the removal of any “planned” landscape requires permitting from the county and can result in fines if not handled properly. Any palms/trees that are the result of wild overgrowth can be removed without a permit. This also applies to the sea grape as they are protected only along the ocean and intercoastal. In the next month or so you will also witness the removal of some of the landscape that fronts the clubhouse. Certain plant types have not fared well and have become sparse looking or died off completely. With the painting of the exterior of the clubhouse right around the corner some of the landscape will be removed to make room for the painting crew. When completed several new varieties of plants will be added, bringing additional beauty and elegance to the main clubhouse. Two projects that are just wrapping up are the new Bocce courts and the new Sailing area, including the addition of a shed that will be shared by both Bocce and Sailing. The area has been transformed and brings a “wow” factor that was previously missing. Projects still pending are the Somerset pool area, the Hastings locker room shower area, the installation of an elevator at Hastings in place of the lifts and the painting of the exterior of the clubhouse. WPRF will give advance notice when an area needs to be closed for the aforementioned work to be done. I ask for everyone’s anticipated patience and cooperation as we work to improve these areas for you. A safe Labor Day to all.

One morning, I believe it was on a Sunday, I happened to be clicking on different channels on my TV as usual, when I stopped. Something I thought was of interest to me (and probably many others) was right there before my eyes. It was President and CEO Lew Crampton and Kate Arrizza, Chief Operating Officer of the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium talking about the Center which was formerly known as the South Florida Science Museum. The building, they said, has received a newly created $5 million dollar renovation, with 3,500 square feet devoted to it's aquarium. MMMMM…this sounds interesting, I said to myself. So with our Editor's permission, I went to see this fascinating sounding center along with Howie Silver, Long neck plesiosaur are known to have been as long as 60 feet in length.
