Inspiring The Next Generation: STEM, History, And Living Legends At The 2025 Stuart Air Show

Nov. 7 To 9, Witham Field

The 2025 Stuart Air Show is more than breathtaking aerobatics and roaring jet engines—it’s also about education, inspiration and giving families a chance to experience history up close. This year, the show is expanding its community reach with a focus on STEM learning opportunities for students, interactive activities for families and a once-in-a-lifetime chance to fly in one of the rarest aircraft in the world.

Friday STEM Event

On Friday morning, Nov. 7, before gates open to the public, the Stuart Air Show will welcome nearly 300 local school-aged children for a closed STEM education event. Students will explore aviation and engineering concepts through hands-on activities and presentations led by local aviation businesses, STEM organizations and the pilots and crews of the aircraft on site. This unique opportunity sparks curiosity and highlights career paths in science, technology,

engineering and math, ensuring the next generation is as inspired by aviation as the generations before them.

STEM Scavenger Hunt For Families

STEM learning continues all weekend long with a STEM Scavenger Hunt, sponsored by Dave & Buster’s, on

Saturday and Sunday. Families attending the show can pick up a scavenger hunt card at the gate and collect stamps from STEM exhibitors throughout the venue. Once completed, kids can turn in their cards to receive a $10 Dave & Buster’s Power Card—a fun way to combine learning with play while encouraging exploration of all the exciting educational exhibits at the show.

The Legendary B-29 Superfortress “Doc” History comes alive with the arrival of the B-29 Superfortress “Doc”, one of only two B-29s still flying in the entire world. This legendary World War II aircraft will land at Witham Field on Thursday afternoon, giving the public a chance to witness a rare piece of aviation history taxi in before the weekend festivities.

Even more thrilling, “Doc” will be offering rides out of the Vero Beach airport during its Treasure Coast visit. Passengers will have the extraordinary opportunity to fly inside

Carlin Park Welcomed Athletes For The 39th Annual Tampa General Hospital Loggerhead Triathlon

The Tampa General Hospital Loggerhead Triathlon once again delivered an unforgettable day of athleticism and community spirit at Carlin Park in Jupiter. Despite rough ocean conditions that led to the cancellation of the swim portion, athletes demonstrated remarkable resilience, powering through a thrilling bike and run course along Florida’s scenic coastline.

Friends, family, and volunteers lined the route, filling the morning with cheers, encouragement, and nonstop energy. From seasoned competitors to first-time participants, the Loggerhead Triathlon embodied determination, camaraderie and the spirit of Palm Beach North.

Important Medicare Changes For 2026: What You Need To Know

Each year from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7, Medicare beneficiaries can make changes to their coverage. This year, it is especially important to review your options. Significant updates take effect January 1, 2026, impacting prescription drug plans (PDPs) and Medicare Advantage (MA) plans.

Key Prescription Drug

Changes

• The “donut hole” coverage gap was eliminated in 2025, but new drug cost rules apply in 2026.

• Out-of-pocket drug costs will be capped at $2,100.

• Maximum drug deductible: $615.

• Many Advantage plans will shift from fixed copayments to coinsurance (a percentage of the drug cost).

○ Example: In 2025, a Tier 3 drug like Eliquis or Ozempic may have cost $47 after the deductible.

○ In 2026, you may pay 20% of $600 which equals $120, it all depends on your plan’s pricing structure. This shift could mean substantially higher initial costs for Tier 3–6 medications. It is essential to check your projected 2026 prescription costs.

2025 was the first year that the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan (MPPP) enabled those with Medicare

The College Admissions Rollercoaster

By Peggy Forgan, Class 101 Owner/College Advisor

I recently worked with a student who experienced the unpredictability of college admissions first-hand. She was a top student with excellent grades, high SAT scores, leadership experience, and a strong resume. She applied to several schools in Florida, including the University of Florida and the University of Miami, but was rejected from both. Understandably, she felt discouraged. However, because she had built a thoughtful college list, she still had many strong applications. To her surprise and delight, one of her acceptance letters came from Yale University—a school she initially thought would be far more difficult to get into than her in-state choices.

Her story illustrates an important truth: College admissions are not always predictable. A student can have stellar academics, impressive extracurriculars, and glowing recommendation letters—and still face rejection. That’s because admissions decisions are influenced by more than just achievement. Colleges are building entire classes, balancing majors, geographic diversity, activities, and institutional needs. Sometimes, despite a student’s qualifications, the decision comes down to factors beyond their control. This is why it is so important for students to cast a wide net when applying to colleges. By creating a balanced list that includes “reach,” “target,” and “safety” schools, students give themselves the best chance of having multiple options when acceptance letters arrive. Applying broadly reduces stress and disappointment, while increasing the likelihood that students will find a college that is both a great fit and excited to welcome them. Now more than ever, it’s also critical to research a variety of options—because even some schools once considered “safeties” have become far more competitive in recent years.

At Class 101 North Palm Beach, we guide students through the process of researching schools and setting clear expectations. We help them build strong, balanced college lists so they don’t put all their hopes on just one or two choices. We begin working with students as early as ninth grade to help them plan, build strong applications, and increase their chances of finding the right match—sometimes in places they least expect.

prescription drug coverage to spread the costs of their prescription drugs over the calendar year rather than paying in full at the pharmacy counter each time they fill a prescription. Keeping this arrangement just got easier.

Automatic renewal of plan participation. Beginning in 2026, if you participate in the MPPP, you will be automatically re-enrolled in 2026 you may want to consider this if you will reach the $2,110 quickly.

Advantage Plan Adjustments

To offset rising drug expenses, many Advantage plans will:

• Increase deductibles and coinsurance.

• Reduce or eliminate extra benefits like dental, vision, hearing, or over-the-counter allowances.

• Raise premiums, maximum out-of-pocket limits, or copays.

What You Should Do

• Review the Annual Notice of Change (sent by your current plan). This side-by-side comparison outlines how your 2025 plan benefits and costs will change in 2026.

• Pay close attention to prescription coverage and any reductions in extra benefits.

Supplement (Medigap) Plans

• No benefit changes are scheduled for 2026.

• However, higher drug costs may encourage some beneficiaries to try a Medicare Advantage plan.

• Medicare offers a one-time “trial right”: You can try an Advantage plan for up to 12 months and still return to your original supplement plan with guaranteed acceptance.

Final Thoughts

The good news: You have time to evaluate your options and avoid surprises. As a licensed Medicare agent, I believe informed decisions lead to the best outcomes.

If you’d like a no-cost, no-obligation plan review, I can walk you through your 2026 options—by phone or in person.

Find Your Perfect Fit

Special Edition Hot Tips

By: Kelly Leary, M.S. & Miranda Capparelli

“’Cause every girl crazy ’bout a sharp dressed man”

– ZZ Top

As October begins, witness wardrobe changes and cooler weather, signaling the best time of the year has arrived (and so have you). Sweaters, boots, and extra cuddles resurface as requirements of Fall, while summer trends and flings fade away. In fashion, as in love, certain things never go out of style—they evolve, adapt, or return new and improved. Today, we will draw a relatable comparison between the pursuit of romantic happiness and the ideal wardrobe that will create your best date night look. You want a good “fit”–right? The Rules.

As always, if you are TAKEN, do share these words of hope with your single, divorced, and widowed family and friends. We are sure you would be thrilled to see your favorite single people smile brighter this holiday season. No one wants to be the fifth or seventh wheel at the dinner party this season. The last quarter of the year can and will be epic. Believe it and own your role in it. This is not a one-man job. Acquire a connector in the know.

Just The Facts.

With the holidays being the biggest trigger for singles, you may catch yourself reminiscing about past loves and daydreaming about what it was like to be a “dynamic duo” during the most wonderful time of the year. You are likely to be yearning for traditional courtship of days gone by. This does still exist–and we enjoy reminding people of this long-forgotten dating norm. We believe in it. Some singles may feel uncomfortable in our modern tech era (like a fish out of water). This means It’s time to ask for help…privately…and not online. It’s time to get set up by a trusted friend (i.e. your matchmakers). If you are already working with a matchmaker, it’s time to ask and accept their advice. Be open to change and adventure or you will go nowhere. Everything will stay the same and you will feel the same way on December 31st. Open your heart. The Hunt.

The pursuit of love is much like the hunt for the perfect date night wardrobe. This can take time, experimentation, and timing. You are in luck because we, as matchmakers, are much like the stylists at a fabulous custom boutique, ready to take on the challenge with and for you. Dating is similar to browsing the fashion racks, and both require patience, a little adventure, and the confidence to know when something fits just right. You may be struggling to find your Plus One but that is normal when you know you are in the right place. Bar none, matchmaking is a solid ticket to a happy ending in 2025. The pond is continually restocked, just like any popular boutique.

Try It On.

Have you ever walked into a store and tried on an outfit, but nothing seemed to feel right? Or maybe you’ve found yourself in a fitting room with something that looked perfect on the hanger, but once you put it on, you realize it’s not for you. Dating can feel the same. You may meet someone who checks all the right boxes on paper but doesn’t feel quite right when you’re together. Next, please.

Don’t get stuck on one look. Every date won’t lead to the perfect match–but you must elevate the odds and let someone else do the vetting and setting up for you. You can adjust your expectations on your search and learn more about yourself. Also, don’t forget to work on yourself–this is a bonus for you and your future partner. If you find yourself striking out again and again–ask for help. Don’t be closed minded and blame the date or anyone else. It takes two and consider each encounter as a learning experience to help you become the best version of yourself. Regardless of your age, we should all be able to grow and learn and adapt. That is attractive. The Perfect Fit.

Patience is a virtue. We recently had a success story of two CEOs in the club. It took the gentleman four months to find his “perfect” fit, and the woman was one and done in her first month! Finding someone you connect with will not always happen overnight. However, the wait will be worth it. Love can appear unexpectedly (love at first sight). Just don’t settle for a relationship that doesn’t fit your needs and values long-term. A perfect fit is more than just superficial–it also requires the possibility of longevity. Will it stand the test of time? Look for someone emotionally, financially, and physically aligned with you and your dreams for your future. Trust Your Stylist (aka Matchmaker).

You may feel like you can do it alone, but you can’t. You have a job, and you are not The Pro. You would not do your own doctoring or lawyering, right? Bonding with your matchmaker, being honest, and trusting the constructive advice they may give you will exponentially increase your chances of finding your perfect match that fits like a glove. Hire the best in the business. Be a smart person and connect to the right people at the right time with the right mindset (looking for a true match).

On that note, thank you to our new applicants who have PRE-BOOKED their First Interview in advance. Clients who get started in October have a higher chance of meeting an ideal dating partner before the holidays and the turn of the New Year 2026 for the most important kiss of the year. Make the last three months of this year count. Your future self will thank you later. We can’t wait to meet you in our gorgeous office on PGA Boulevard–where we have been for ten successful years and counting! Make the last quarter of the year the best part of the year and end with a powerful and life-changing win!

Xoxo, Kelly & Miranda

Keeping The Promise: Marlee, Miles And Maks

By Wendy Derhak, Founder and Executive Director, The Pet Cottage

If you were at our Gratitude Luncheon earlier this month, you felt it: the hum of belonging that happens when a community shows up for pets and the people who love them. That same spirit is carrying us into fall—and it’s written all over the second chapters of three beautiful Golden Retrievers you met in our July issue: Marlee, Miles and Maks.

They didn’t arrive as a neat story. They arrived from a family in crisis—loved deeply, yet needing help. Because of the

Pawsitively Perry Fund (generously funded by the Peter H. Kamin Family Foundation), we were able to welcome the Goldens into our Lifelong Guardianship Program and move swiftly to give each dog what every soul deserves: a safe, loving home.

Marlee found her people in Nancy and John, a calm home where belly rubs are a daily ritual and porch time is sacred. Soon after joining our program, Marlee began battling chronic ear infections. Support from the Grey Muzzle Foundation is helping cover her ongoing treatment—vet visits, medications and monitoring—so she stays comfortable and infection free.

Miles—sunny, sensitive, and a champion snuggler— was paired with the Myers family. Recently he developed a seizure disorder, and with guidance from Dr. Vinoski’s

team, they’re learning what to watch for—tracking possible episodes, adjusting routines to avoid triggers, and keeping him comfortable and thriving.

Maks, the youngest of the trio and part of the Myers family too, recently developed bladder stones and transitioned to a prescription diet to prevent recurrence. He’s back to supervising kitchen prep with great enthusiasm.

This is the promise in action. The Pawsitively Perry Fund makes it possible for pets like Marlee, Miles and Maks to enter our program with the costs of rehoming and stabilization covered. The Grey Muzzle Foundation—along with the Cathleen McFarlane Foundation—helps ensure we can provide ongoing veterinary care seniors so often need: surgeries, medications and special diets included. Day-today, Dr. Vinoski and his compassionate team support our Guardians with practical, accessible care in the community.

Let A Financial Advisor Help Plan For Life’s Curveballs

By Sally Sima Stahl, Edward Jones

No matter what stage of your life you’re in—caring for children, working toward retirement or planning your legacy—unforeseen events like a job loss, a major illness or even a stock market drop could derail what you’re working so hard to achieve financially.

With your future at stake, you may want to get guidance from a financial professional who can develop a personalized financial strategy to help you navigate life’s curveballs. Here are specific ways a financial advisor can help.

• Create a customized long-term strategy. This is the first step to weather unforeseen events. You may have several longterm investing goals—your retirement, your child’s education or perhaps a dream vacation. A financial advisor can help you build a strategy specific to your goals and risk tolerance. This will include prioritizing those goals, building a path toward each and pivoting your strategy as markets shift and needs change.

• Set realistic expectations. Successful investing requires discipline and patience—most individual investors make

Behind the funds and checklists is something simple and sacred: home. It’s Nancy and John moving a dog bed to catch the afternoon sun. It’s the Myers family learning what to watch for with Miles—while Maks gets his special meals. It’s people choosing—again and again—to be keepers of the promise.

Step into the story with us: Join Happy Tails (monthly giving). Choose a simple monthly amount—$10, $25, or what feels right—and help keep vet doors open and the sanctuary lights on so seniors and their people never walk alone.

their money over time, not overnight. Start by setting realistic timelines to reach each of your goals. And don’t be surprised if you need to make trade-offs, like working an extra year to help fund your retirement dream home. It’s realistic to expect you’ll hit some bumps in the road. Perhaps the markets will drop and the value of your portfolio may follow. (It’s also realistic to expect they will rebound, as they have historically. Of course, past performance of the markets is no guarantee of what will happen in the future.) A financial advisor can help you keep your emotions in check no matter what comes your way and stay focused on the long term, knowing you have a customized strategy in place.

• Diversify your investments. The foundation for your portfolio is your asset allocation, or how you divide your assets among stocks, bonds, cash and other investments. Different investments behave differently in various market conditions, so maintaining a good mix can help better weather market fluctuations than putting “all your eggs in one basket.” Finding the right diversification mix, and keeping it balanced despite what the market does, can get complicated, but it’s almost second nature for a good financial advisor. All investments do carry risk, and asset allocation doesn’t ensure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.

• Keep a long-term outlook. It’s easy to become distracted by the latest headline, expert prediction or market swing. However, if these events don’t change your long-term outlook, there probably isn’t a reason to make changes to your strategy. In fact, these declines often present good

opportunities if you’re a long-term investor, so use them to your advantage—your financial advisor can show you how.

• Keep your emergency savings well-funded. This is your “rainy day” fund, and an unexpected event may constitute a rainy day. For most people, maintaining three to six months of total expenses in emergency savings is appropriate. The specific amount depends on factors like your risk of unexpected expenses or temporary loss of income, and how much you value being confident that you can weather financial emergencies. A financial advisor can help you determine what your emergency savings should look like. Unexpected events are part of life. You can’t predict them, but you can prepare for them. No matter what is going on around you, having a professional by your side can help set you up to navigate them confidently.
