AT 85, NORTON MUSEUM LOOKS AHEAD TO SHOWING NEW ART
This year, the Norton Museum of Art celebrated its 85th anniversary, and it recently hosted “Art and Life in Rembrandt’s Time: Masterpieces from The Leiden Collection,” a critically acclaimed exhibition that drew more than 100,000 visitors and received international news coverage. But rather than looking back, the Norton is looking ahead.
It takes a lot of work to keep the dozens of lakes here in the Avenir community looking their best, and that is the job of Superior Waterway Services. In this issue, we chat with Chris York, owner of Superior, who has done this type of work not only in Avenir, but in residential communities across South Florida. In this fascinating feature article, you’ll learn all that it takes to keep the lakes looking their best.
Next, we visit the Dancing Crane Restaurant, located in the Sandhill Crane Golf Club. Featuring great food with amazing golf course views, the Dancing Crane is operated by noted restaurateur Avi Sekerel. The restaurant features comfort food perfect for a bite after a round on the course, but also an expansive dinner menu and a delicious weekend brunch.
Profiled this issue is Avenir resident Charlie Nugent, founder of Pure Way Filtration. When Nugent couldn’t find a water filtration system for his home that he liked, he went ahead and started his own company. While the business now takes up much of his time, he is always there to help out Avenir friends.
Finally, we visit the venerable Norton Museum of Art, one of the true gems of the Palm Beaches. The Norton has been the home of amazing art for the past 85 years, including an array of current exhibits.
Thanks so much to everyone who has taken the time to read and enjoy our work here at Avenir The Magazine. We will be back soon with our July/August edition featuring more fascinating Avenir stories.

AVENIR’S LAKES HEALTHY AND PRISTINE
STORY AND PHOTOS BY FIONA SLUSAREV
Sunbeams reflect off ripples in a pristine lake. A heron slowly wades into the shallows. Carefully illuminated fountains quietly bubble, providing a perfect backdrop for a serene, late-day stroll.
Sights like these are commonplace in the manicured neighborhoods of Avenir, but many don’t realize the care that goes into maintaining the beauty of these lakes. The diligent stewardship of more than 50 lakes in Avenir is the job of Superior Waterway Services Inc.
Superior’s owner Chris York and his team have been managing Avenir’s lakes since the creation of the neighborhood, but the company has been keeping South Florida lakes immaculate and functional since 1999. Superior ensures that lakes remain sparkling through two main categories of maintenance: lake management and littoral maintenance.
Lake management includes a range of tasks, from water testing and clarification to aeration, aquatic weed control and fish stocking. Littoral maintenance refers to the care of the area around the lake, where the land and water meet. A healthy littoral area is key to maintaining wildlife, vegetation and overall water quality.
“We manage those exotics and nuisance vegetation,” York explained. “Just like in your flower bed or in your lawn, you want beneficial vegetation to thrive and not get overtaken by weeds and nuisance vegetation.”
The lakes are monitored on a consistent schedule with each lake being surveyed once a month or more if necessary. York has two teams, one for the lake itself and one for littoral quality, that visit the community at least twice a month each to ensure that all of the 50-plus lakes are cared for correctly.
“It helps us be proactive as well,” York added. “The more eyes we can have out there looking at things, we can head off things that the customer may not even notice is a problem. We can pick up on it, be proactive, and keep it from spreading before it’s a perceived problem by residents.”
The teams can decide when water quality testing is needed and identify problematic plants. Lakes are only treated when a problem arises, as to not stem the growth of healthy flora. The trained professionals at Superior can spot the signs that a lake is out of balance, such as the accumulation of algae, a malodorous scent or an increase of runoff into the lake.
Everyday activities can affect the quality of the water. Maintenance on lawns, such as fertilization and grass trimming, can introduce nutrients that contribute to the growth of harmful plants and algae.
Aquatic debris and weeds are regularly removed, and aquatic herbicides and treatments are applied as needed. When a lake is showing signs of being out of balance, Superior team members try to identify the root cause with in-house testing and also send out samples to third-party laboratories to
test for elements like phosphorus and nitrogen, compounds like ammonia, and harmful toxin-producers like cyanobacteria.
“I think it’s important to have an impartial party there that’s making the recommendations,” York said.
The Avenir lakes are aerated with a series of compressors and weighted tubes to create bubbles on the bottom of the lakebed that slowly rise to the surface. While not as flashy as a fountain, this process is integral to maintaining a healthy ecosystem by oxygen-
ating the water and stimulating helpful aerobic bacteria.
“If it’s an oxygen-lacking environment, you get what’s called anaerobic bacteria working, and that’s where you get organic build up — sludge build up, muck being built up at the bottom of the lake,” York said.
Fountains also oxygenate the water, with the added bonus of contributing to the curb-appeal of the neighborhood. Superior has installed numerous fountains in Avenir, complete with lighting and timers, to contribute to
“Just like in your flower bed or in your lawn, you want beneficial vegetation to thrive and not get overtaken by weeds and nuisance vegetation.”

the atmosphere that continues to draw in new residents.
Another challenge to maintaining a flawless lake and thriving ecosystem includes keeping or adding beneficial vegetation. Especially around the littoral area, having plants, like spikerush or broadleaf arrowhead (also known as duck potato), that filter the water is key. Many people don’t understand the importance of this native plant life and want it removed, but such vegetation can prevent harmful occurrences like algae blooms.
“It’s a challenge for us just educating people as to why those plants are there, why they should be there, and what their value is in keeping the wa-
ter clean and naturally filtered,” York explained.
A balanced lake ecosystem keeps all organisms, including fish, happy and healthy. Anglers can thank Superior for the variety of fish that now call the Avenir lakes home. Bluegill and mosquitofish roam the waters. Bluegills are great to catch for young and old, while the small mosquitofish keep the midge fly population down.
Despite all the aesthetic and recreational uses of the Avenir lakes, they actually serve a greater importance for the neighborhood. The lakes are stormwater retention areas. They prevent homes from flooding during heavy storms or the Florida rainy season. The
lakes are all connected so that excess water can be safely collected and syphoned off property, away from homes.
“They’re there for a purpose. When you get a heavy rain, all the water has to go somewhere,” York explained.
With the careful oversight of Superior Waterway Services, the lakes of Avenir are kept functional and beautiful, with anything that could harm the serene waters mitigated before residents can even notice. Should an unexpected issue arise, York and the team are ready to respond within 24 to 48 hours.

ENJOY DELICIOUS FOOD IN A RELAXED ATMOSPHERE AT THE DANCING CRANE
BY FIONA SLUSAREV
Inside the Dancing Crane restaurant, you’ll find a relaxed atmosphere and welcoming staff serving everything from comfort food to a delicious ribeye steak. Restaurateur and owner Avi Sekerel has been serving up tasty dishes to the Palm Beach Gardens community and beyond since 2019.
The Dancing Crane is located in the Sandhill Crane Golf Club, which is open to the public. While golfers can often be found having lunch after time on the course, you don’t need to ever set foot on the green to enjoy brunch, lunch or dinner at the restaurant. There is something to please everyone on the diverse menu.
“We do have healthy salads and sandwiches, and a great array of appetizers,” Sekerel explained. “When it comes to the main course, we cover comfort food, but also offer elaborate steaks and fish dishes.”
Open weekdays starting at 11 a.m. for lunch, and weekends at 10:30 a.m. for brunch, it’s easy to find your new favorite go-to meal. Patrons love the Beef Sliders with melted cheddar, chipotle aioli and onion rings; the Famous Jumbo Wings with sauce choices such as Buffalo, Korean BBQ or Carolina
BBQ; and an array of flatbreads as appetizers.
“Ours are the largest chicken wings that you’ll find in the area,” Sekerel said. “It’s a great value — a lot of meat and very juicy.”
Value and quality are central concepts at the Dancing Crane, where the menu is picked to give customers the best food at accessible prices. For entrees, patrons can enjoy a delicious fish dish for $30 or under. The Apricot Glazed Salmon with braised baby spinach and apricot chutney is a crowdpleaser.
Sekerel uses his training in hospitality management, as well as business and hotel administration, to cater to his clientele’s tastes. He wants his dishes to be both beautiful and attainable. “We want to keep our prices in the range of comfort,” he said.
For meat-lovers, there is a weekly Prime Rib Night on Fridays, where freshly prepared steaks are available at a more affordable price. A portion of this freshly roasted prime rib also goes to their bestselling French Dip sandwich, which includes shaved prime rib, horseradish aioli and melted provolone on ciabatta with a rich au-jus dipping
sauce. All their beef is aged in-house for 21 days to achieve peak flavor.
Vegetarians, or those looking to get in their greens, will appreciate the various salad offerings that are not only flavorful but also filling. The Baked Goat Cheese Tuscan Salad is popular, and it is Sekerel’s top choice of the salads. It features a sizeable portion of mixed greens, roasted red peppers, kalamata olives and asiago with balsamic dressing and goat cheese crostini, coming together to make a flavorful meal.
“The salads are very popular, and we have a huge diversity of them,” Sekerel said.
Dessert cannot be missed, with freshly made treats brought over from Sekerel’s bakery in Boca Raton. With options like Banana-Chocolate Pudding, Tiramisu and Carrot Cake, customers with a sweet tooth will leave satisfied.
“There are not any additives or chemicals. It’s a natural bakery, using top ingredients,” he said.
On the weekends, brunch offers a mix of lunch favorites and selection of omelet and egg creations. Try the Crème Brulee French Toast for a sweet start to the day, or the Bake Shop Fresh Quiche as an indulgent treat.
Restaurateur Avi Sekerel has been serving up tasty dishes at the Dancing Crane since 2019.
If the sheer variety of food isn’t enough to make your mouth water, the fully stocked bar and stellar happy hour are sure to delight. All day, every day, they serve two-hour bottomless mimosas for $18. Espresso martinis have been very popular as of late, with house-made white chocolate liqueur. Sekerel added that the Bloody Mary is almost a meal in itself with plentiful garnishes of celery, olives and candied bacon.
Happy hour is daily from 3 to 6 p.m. with a bevy of bites and sips to partake in. The Dancing Crane’s beloved sliders come in three iterations for only $3 each: Carolina Brisket BBQ, Buffalo Chicken and Beef & Cheddar. Well liquor drinks are all half price, and a glass of house wine is a reasonable $5.
Happy hour is also a social hotspot with regulars coming every day. “It’s a very loyal group of happy hour visitors,” Sekerel said.
As a true community hub, people from across the area flock to the Dancing Crane, whether they are golfers coming in from the green, parents on their way back from picking up kids from school, or couples on a night out. Even the littlest members of the family are included with their own menu, complete with crayons, containing the classic crowd-pleasers.
“As a neighborhood restaurant, we
basically know almost everybody who comes in here,” Sekerel reflected.
That neighborhood has expanded over the years, with the growth of the Acreage/Loxahatchee area, Ibis and, most recently, Avenir. Another opportunity for the community to gather is the popular Trivia Nights on Thursdays. The event starts at 6:30 p.m. and usually draws quite the crowd, so Sekerel recommends making a reservation.
Every Friday, in addition to Prime Rib Night, the restaurant has live music on the patio from 6 to 9 p.m. They also do seasonal events, like an Easter Brunch and a Mother’s Day Brunch, which often include a fixed price and buffet-style food options.
Patrons can sign up for the VIP program that earns one point for every dollar spent. Continuing the celebration, the Dancing Crane has begun a birthday special. Once during their birthday month, the guest of honor can have a free dinner and dessert when they come in with a table of four or more.
“We would like to become the place where people come to celebrate their birthdays,” Sekerel said. “We want to make people feel comfortable that they can come here and have large par-
ties. We can have tables all the way up to 18 people.”
If 18 seats isn’t enough to accommodate your gathering, the patio can entertain a group of 60 people with a view of the golf course.
The dining room on the second floor is another great option to host rehearsal dinners, large birthdays and baby showers.
The Dancing Crane caters to the community with its diverse menu, as well as providing a space for events that bring people together. After a major tornado hit Avenir and the Acreage/ Loxahatchee area, the restaurant even held some free breakfasts for those who were affected.
“It’s definitely the neighborhood [restaurant],” Sekerel said.
If you want to take the flavor of the Dancing Crane home with you, customers can order takeout or delivery. For nearby residents, like those at the Avenir community, delivery is offered through Toast.
The Dancing Crane is open to the public and located at 9500 Sandhill Crane Drive in Palm Beach Gardens. To contact them, call (561) 630-1172. To see the menu, place an order or make reservations, visit www.thedancingcrane.com.
Prime Rib Night is held on Fridays at the Dancing Crane.

AVENIR-BASED COMPANY PURE WAY OFFERS WHOLE-HOME WATER FILTRATION SYSTEMS
BY FIONA SLUSAREV
Pure Way Filtration, a national water filtration company, got its start in Avenir. Charlie Nugent, the president of sales and company owner, founded Pure Way two years ago, and it has quickly spread across the country.
An experienced businessman, Nugent had previously been a part of building two other companies and had retired before he decided to create Pure Way. He was looking for a water filtration system for himself and was unhappy with the options he came across. In his opinion, the filtration sys-
tems available were outdated and expensive.
“We can do better. You’ve got really cheap stuff online, but it’s not effective, or you’ve got the really expensive stuff. There wasn’t a real local distribution model that was reasonably priced,” Nugent explained.
Connecting with an old friend in the water industry, Nugent realized that there were more options. Living in Avenir for the last three years, Nugent also realized that his neighbors were faced with the same issues. There wasn’t a
high quality, yet fairly priced filtration option available.
“I heard neighbors at the pickleball courts talking about it, and one guy was about to pay far more for a system. I said, ‘I can get you something better, reasonably priced,’ and that was my first sale,” Nugent recalled.
Since that first sale, Pure Way has expanded across 22 states. However, Nugent still makes time to handle Avenir clients personally. If any maintenance is required, Nugent is happy to come out.
“Most of my time is in the national company, but I like selling in Avenir because it’s my friends and my neighbors. I’m right here for service. If someone has got a problem, I can just run over there and handle it.”

“Most of my time is in the national company, but I like selling in Avenir because it’s my friends and my neighbors,” Nugent said. “I’m right here for service. If someone has got a problem, I can just run over there and handle it.”
Pure Way is a whole-home filtration system, so water from every tap in your home comes out fresh and clarified. You don’t need a filter pitcher to filter water from the tap before it ends up in your glass. Your showers, and even the water you use to wash your dishes, is filtered.
In comparison with traditional builtin filters, which often use reverse-osmosis filters, salt softeners and a carbon tank, Pure Way offers another option. The three-stage filter system uses an electro-positive charge to filter particles smaller than the pores in the filter, yet healthy minerals are not stripped away.
Water pressure isn’t lost because filtering is not a slow process, as it is with reverse-osmosis, and a large tank isn’t needed to store the water. It is easy to install with one in line and one out line that do not require electricity.
“If the power is out for a hurricane,
and you don’t have a generator, you still have healthy, clean water,” Nugent said.
The components of the filter system are certified by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The filter cartridges are certified NSF/ ANSI 42 and 53, which ensures taste and health safety, respectively. The system housing is likewise certified to NSF/ANSI 53 health standards.
Nugent is confident in the integrity of Pure Way, guaranteeing each system with a lifetime warranty. “The only maintenance on it is replacing the filter cartridges,” he explained.
As for the life of the cartridges
themselves, it depends on how clean the incoming, unfiltered water is and how many residents live in the household. “Typically, I tell people that it can be from 18 to 36 months,” Nugent said.
Nugent finds that many of his Avenir clients have been from Regency, the 55 and up community, but he also noted that young families tend to be interested in the filtration system, especially for ensuring that their children have the cleanest available water to bathe in. As more research emerges with PFAS and microplastics, Nugent has seen more individuals switch away from bottled water. “It’s [for] anybody who wants clean water,” Nugent explained.
Nugent is happy to give back to the community that helped inspire his business. This year, as well as last, Pure Way is a sponsor of the Avenir 5K Fun Run/ Walk benefiting K9 for Warriors and also donated a full filtration system to the raffle. And he is ready to keep supporting his community and sponsoring events. “I keep telling people, just call me,” Nugent laughed. “I’ll do it!”

The Pure Way 3-Stage Whole-Home System
AT 85, NORTON MUSEUM LOOKS AHEAD TO SHOWING NEW ART
BY SCOTT SIMMONS
This year, the Norton Museum of Art celebrated its 85th anniversary, and it recently hosted “Art and Life in Rembrandt’s Time: Masterpieces from The Leiden Collection,” a critically acclaimed exhibition that drew more than 100,000 visitors and received international news coverage.
But rather than looking back, the Norton is looking ahead to creating new ways to educate and inspire the community with exhibitions, lectures, films, performances and community days.
As always, art comes first.
Fifteen years ago, the Norton made a commitment to showcase art by
women, offering its Recognition of Art by Women (RAW) series. Two shows in that series are now on view, “Danielle Mckinney: Shelter” and “Recognition of Art by Women: In Retrospect.”
“The Recognition of Art by Women series is central to the Norton’s mission,” said Ghislain d’Humières, the museum’s Kenneth C. Griffin Director and CEO. “Each exhibition offers an opportunity to showcase the work of exceptional women artists and to highlight their lasting impact on the field.
Danielle Mckinney’s exhibition continues this legacy, reflecting the power and diversity of artistic voices that define the RAW program.”
In a world in which works by women artists figured in only 14.9 percent of exhibitions at 31 prominent U.S. museums between 2008 and 2020, the Norton included works by women in 44 percent of its shows. Over the last five years, that trajectory has accelerated, with women artists featured in 57 percent of all Norton exhibitions.
Curated by J. Rachel Gustafson, chief curatorial officer at the Norton, “Danielle Mckinney: Shelter” showcases works that center on solitary female figures within interior settings, offering glimpses into moments of private contemplation, respite or ease.
“Mckinney’s paintings unfold like

moments suspended in time,” Gustafson said. “They invite viewers to consider the emotional and spiritual dimensions of solitude, and how stillness itself can become a site of imagination and strength. Her work captures an interior world that feels both deeply personal and profoundly human.”
The exhibition continues through Oct. 4.
The companion exhibition, “In Retrospect,” curated by Arden Sherman, the Norton’s Glenn W. and Cornelia T. Bailey Senior Curator of Contemporary Art, traces the breadth of practices that the RAW series has championed over the past iterations.
The nine featured artists are British painter Jenny Saville (2011), American painter Sylvia Plimack Mangold (2012), British sculptor Phyllida Barlow (2013), Swedish sculptor Krista Kristalova (2014), Nigerian painter Njideka Akunyili Crosby (2016), Austrian painter Svenja Deininger (2017), American artist Nina Chanel Abney (2019), Colombian visual artist María Berrío (2021) and Santa Clara Pueblo artist Rose B. Simpson (2024).
The exhibition continues through Sept. 27.
These shows are joined by an array of other exhibitions on display this summer at the Norton, including:
• Artists at Work — Through June 21. Through paintings, sculptures, photographs and more, this installation reveals a sliver of the who, where and how behind the art. Artists’ portrayals of themselves and others in the act of artmaking accompany depictions of dynamic studios, while examples of artists’ preparatory works illustrate their creative processes.
• That’s Entertainment: Japanese Prints and the Art of Leisure — Through July 5. This exhibition presents 31 Japanese woodblock prints by Utagawa Kunisada (1786-1864) and other leading artists of the Edo period (16151868) and focuses on portraits of celebrated Kabuki actors from major productions staged in Edo (presentday Tokyo) theaters during the 19th century.
• 60 Seconds: Polaroids from the Collection — Through Aug. 16. This exhibit
celebrates the photography’s signature immediacy, tracing how artists have embraced Polaroids, or instant film, for their ability to produce a unique image in mere moments.
• Galloping Steed: Celebrating the Year of the Horse in Chinese Paintings Through Aug. 23. This exhibition brings together works by Xu Beihong (1895-1953), one of the most celebrated artists of early 20th-century China, alongside rare paintings by Louis Antoine de Poirot (1735-1813), a French Jesuit artist who served at the court of the Qianlong Emperor (reigned 17351796). “Galloping Steed” is part of a multiyear exhibition series developed by the Norton Museum of Art in partnership with the Dongguan Lou Collection.
• Portrait Mode: Self-reflections from Past, Present and Future — Art by students on display through Aug. 16.
• Cursed Images: Pictures Out of Context — May 9 through Nov. 1. This exhibition features 20th-century everyday, amateur snapshots from the Peter J. Cohen Collection, one of the largest privately held archives of anonymous photographs in the United States. It highlights photographs whose subjects or object relationships evoke a subtle, inexplicable unease.
• Art & Independence: America at 250 — July 4 through Dec. 6. Works from the collection that celebrate the U.S. semiquincentennial.
• Florida Roots: Ralph Coburn — July 25 through Jan. 3. This exploration explores the work of Ralph Coburn (1923-2018), who spent most of his winters in Miami Beach and was influenced by its Art Deco architecture.
• Visible Fiction: Photography and Artifice — Sept. 19 through Feb. 21. An
exhibition that explores the theatricality of photography.
The Norton also hosts Art After Dark from 5 to 10 p.m. on Fridays, with admission that’s free for members; $10 for adults and seniors; and $5 for students. First Friday of the month is Jazz Friday. Tours are 5 and 7 p.m. Open Studio art workshops are 6 to 9 p.m. Artist tours are at 8 p.m. the third Friday of the month.
