FIRE DEPARTMENT
Dr. Scott McFarland has been the Medical Director of Village Fire Rescue since 2007. He went to college at Notre Dame, Medical School
at Alabama, and trained in General Surgery and Emergency Medicine at the University of Miami. He served as Medical Director of the
Emergency Departments at Wellington Regional and Palm Beach Gardens Medical Centers, and was the host of the PBS Medical program,
“Healthy Body Healthy Mind.” Dr. McFarland has been a Board-Certified Emergency Physician since 1994.
So how are those New Year’s
resolutions coming? Have you lost
those 15 pounds? How many days
a week have you been going to the
gym? How many times have you called
your mother?
Please don’t feel bad … Four out
of five gym memberships made in
January have been canceled by April.
Another survey showed that 90
percent of the New Year’s resolutions
lose commitment in less than a
month.
So let’s look at why these New Year’s
resolutions and the best of intentions
fail and see if we can’t find a way
to prevent you from disappointing
yourself once again. Along the way
we’re going to make your body a
healthier and happier place to live in.
First of all it is not a matter of lacking
willpower; as a matter fact if anything
it’s a matter of lacking won’t power;
the ability to say no to yourself and
caving into impulse, and making
sometimes self-destructive choices.
It is critically important to power up
those “won’t” muscles: no I won’t eat
that second donut; I won’t have that
second glass of wine. So if indeed you
failed to keep up with your promises
to yourself and your New Year’s
resolutions, don’t beat yourself up.
I believe most people fail not out
of weakness but out of inadequate
planning.
Do you have a long-term plan for a healthy lifestyle?
Dr. Scott McFarland
NPB FD Medical Director
So the secret to your success lies in
three critical pieces:
1) You need a purpose — a reason to
do what you’re proposing to do
2) You need a plan, precise and
explicit: Know exactly what you want
to do and what you hope to achieve
3) You need a partner — another
person to join you on this quest to
hold you accountable for your actions
because you are much more likely to
disappoint yourself than you are to
disappoint a friend or admit failure
PURPOSE:
Your purpose needs to be more than
a desire to lose 15 pounds, because
when you lose that 15 pounds do you
just quit all the activity that got you
there?
Your purpose should be a vision of
your future self, engaged in activities
like playing with your children or
grandchildren; having the energy
and desire to dance, travel, to make
marvelous new memories; to love
energetically and defy aging by
committing to new healthy habits.
PLAN:
The plan is simple.
1) Eight hours of sleep per night
2) 15 minutes of stretching and
exercise every morning or 30 minutes
every other day. The exercise can be
yoga, walking, running, swimming,
biking or dancing, just make it fun! Get
a calendar, post it in a conspicuous
place and proudly mark off each day
that you meet these objectives (people
are driven to perpetuate streaks).
3) Eat more fish, more fruits and
vegetables and less sugar; one
multivitamin per day(with extra
Vitamin D) and at least 8 glasses of
water a day plus an extra glass for
every 20 minutes that you spend
outdoors or exercising.
PARTNER:
Making a commitment with a partner
more than double the joy and doubles
your chances of success. A partner is
both cheerleader and teammate in
this quest for robust health.
Normally, this Volvo is not a convertible. But it is now,
thanks to several Village firefighters who gave a “Jaws of
Life” demonstration recently at the monthly “Cruisin’ Food
Fest” in John D. MacArthur Beach State Park.
They posed for the photo after their mock rescue drill, but in
a real situation, they are all about business. They ask that
you wear seat belts and drive carefully, hoping to use their
skills only for demonstration in the future.

CLEANUP DAY/Parks Director Retires
The Village appreciates the volunteers who recently
helped clean up Anchorage Park. Together they pulled
110 pounds of trash out of the Earman River and off
park grounds.
The group was joined by Village Council members
Susan Bickel and Mark Mullinix, as well as Village
Manager Andy Lukasik. It was a great first effort
by a motivated group of residents who are making
a difference. Thank you resident Shawn Woods for
spearheading the successful event!
Citizens take the lead in keeping North Palm Beach beautiful
Long-time Parks & Recreation
Director retires after 35 years
After 35 years leading baseball, basketball,
football, soccer, tennis and swimming
programs, the Village’s Parks & Recreation
Director decided he loves pickleball!
Mark Hodgkins began working with the
Village in 1983 and spent many weekends,
nights and holidays making sure the events
that make the Village so special ran smoothly.
Thank you to everyone who came out to the
March retirement event for Mark. He has
accomplished so much for Village residents
during the last 35 years and will be missed by
many. Good luck Mark!

CODE WORKSHOPS/Police Tips
The Village is holding a series of monthly citizen
workshops to plan for future business development on U.S.
Highway 1 and on Northlake Boulevard.
At the meetings, consultants will present proposed changes
to the Village Code of Ordinances that are intended to
encourage private sector investment in local business
properties.
Public involvement is critically important to the
redevelopment process and to the future of the Village life
and property values, so residents are strongly encouraged to
attend and to get involved.
Meetings begin at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers.
Future meeting dates are:
• April 16
• May 13
• June 6
For more information about the Code Update meetings,

As we get closer to the
warmer months, for some
that means vacations are on
the horizon. With this in mind,
the North Palm Beach Police
Department would like to
remind its residents that when
preparing to go out of town
on vacation it is important
that you take necessary steps
to safeguard your homes
and vehicles from potential
burglars.
If you’ll be out of town for an extended period of
time, make sure that all vehicles are locked and
parked inside a closed garage if possible. If this is not
possible, leave vehicles in a conspicuous location and
remember to lock all windows and doors and remove
all valuables.
To safeguard your home, make sure that any exterior
lighting is in operation during the overnight hours as
well as ensuring that all exterior doors and windows
are locked.
And if your home is equipped with an alarm system,
check to make sure it is operating properly prior to
setting the alarm.
It is also a good idea to ask a friend or neighbor to look
after your property when you are away and have them
periodically check to make sure all is in order.
You can make arrangements with the post office to
suspend delivery to your home for specific dates.
Burglars will often look to see a collection of mail
and/or packages at the front door and use that as an
indicator that the resident is away and the house is an
easy target for a burglary.
Don’t let yourself fall prey to these crime opportunities
and make sure to take the necessary precautions so
that you and yours may enjoy your time away.
And remember: Anytime you see something
suspicious, don’t hesitate to call 911. Let the officers
check it out make the determination, it’s the best thing
to do.
Police Department
offers tips to keep
burglars away while
you’re on vacation

The new Village Country Club is now becoming visible from
U.S. Highway 1 as the second floor of the 37,000-square-
foot building is now rising higher than the original
clubhouse ever stood.
The increasing height also means the design of the north,
south, east and west elevations of the clubhouse are
beginning to become defined. While it is still primarily a
shell of the building, the locations and general size of many
of the window and door openings can be seen.
Also, as the architectural rendering below on the bottom
right indicates, there will be several columns on each side
of the exterior of the building. The locations and relative
distances of some of those columns can now been seen
(the orange posts).
The top left photo below shows the front of the building
where guests will enter from the parking lot.
The bottom left photo shows construction crews working on
the 2nd floor multi-purpose banquet room, which will offer a
panoramic view of the golf course to the north and west.
The bottom center photo is the view from the golf course
looking into the outdoor covered dining area on the 2nd
floor of the restaurant.

By following your passion you can experience a
lifetime of personal and professional growth and
“Never work a day in your life” if you do what you
love. Zenon Bilas discovered barefoot water skiing
at 15 years-old. The challenging sport required
focus, balance, strength and precision. Learning the
sport and communicating this passion to others has
resulted in an incredible journey for Zenon, going
from enthusiast to being an employee at a water ski
pro shop, to becoming an entrepreneur for the first
ever year-round barefoot water ski school. Since
then, Zenon has given coaching sessions and lectures
in over 20 countries. Zenon also turned to journalism,
publishing articles and photographing the sport for
magazines worldwide. This led to being featured
in promotions and TV commercials, which included
