Letter from the Editor Hello Neighbors, and welcome to Summer 2016! I am very pleased to bring you the first quarterly edition of the new Old Northwood Newsletter. I have a received a couple great submissions. Being in construction, I found Jody’s article about her stair renovation really interesting. I would love to include more of these types of articles in our newsletter. Our neighborhood is full of beautiful old homes that lend themselves to these types of DIY projects. I know that many of you have done a lot of these projects and would love the opportunity to share them with everyone. Also, we have included a new column called Northwood Village spotlight. In this column, we will explore the different businesses in our own Northwood Village. If you would like the chance to be included, and are willing to be interviewed, please let us know. I’m very much looking forward to a fun Summer and I hope you all are too! Be sure to document all of your trips and adventures so that you can share them all with us in September. Be safe and stay cool. Cheers, Michael Alonso Editor ................................................................................................

The same is true if you have photographs you feel are relevant and appropriate for publication. When I left the Jupiter area I started looking for a special place to live. My office was in City Place, so I was hoping to find a place that would be close to work, yet provide me a true home. I remembered visiting Old Northwood in the past, so went to look. Within a week I bought my home in 2014, which was one of the best decisions I made in a long time. I met my neighbors in just a few days and things just got better. Initially I went to the socials, and saw that they were more than just great food and good drinks. As I got to know the area more, I realized what a jewel Northwood was because of the people that live here and the incredible homes. Being a real estate broker for my company, Deep Horizon Realty, I opened a new office on Broadway this past January and decided to make the Northwood area both the place I live and work. I was elected to the Old Northwood Board last year, and just recently was honored to be asked to hold the position of President. Even though I am a new resident, I feel that with the guidance of the rest of the Board, and especially Past President Matt Chambers, we will continue to have our Association achieve the goals of the community. A little about me, so you know who I am, if you have not yet met me. Prior to being a Real Estate Broker, I was an Insurance Claims Manager, then a Legal Administrator and insurance consultant for private law firms. I opened a boat dealership and hold a patent in the marine industry. I graduated from Rutgers College with a degree in Economics. My political career has included being a current Elected Supervisor for the South Indian River Water Control District, board member of the Citizens Advisory Board of the Solid Waste Authority, founding member of the Coalition Of Northwestern Communities, board member of the North County Planning Board, a Past President of the Palm Beach County Claims Association, a Past President of the Palm Beach County Legal Administrators, and a Past President of the Palm Beach Country Estates Landowners Association. I look forward to being of assistance to our community, finally completing the clubhouse repairs, having another successful parade of homes, reducing crime, having monthly socials, limiting encroachment by other than single family homes within our borders, having more Alleycat cleanups, hearing from residents on what our goals for Old Northwood should be, and just having a great time living here.

Cats By Kelly Shoaf In Palm Beach County, there is a severe feral cat overpopulation crisis where an estimated thousands of “community cats” are found in the streets of both urban and suburban communities. Old Northwood is no exception to this rule. We as neighbors have observed a variety of feral and stray cats that occupy our neighborhood streets with a range of opinions and emotions about this polarizing subject. The one thing we can agree on, is that no one wants to support the suffering of these animals. Peggy Adams Animal Rescue has developed a program called “Project CatSnip.” They identify that “community cats” live a dim existence with the constant threat of flea infestation, diseases and injury from outside elements (weather, vehicles, wildlife predation). Peggy Adams has developed the Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate and Return (TNVR) program which aims to assist in responsibly containing cat communities. The program provides humane traps to contain cats where they can be taken to the shelter to be vaccinated, neutered and then returned to live in their cat colony. Regardless of your feelings on the cat population, I think all can agree action is needed. The TNVR program hotline can be reached by dialing 561-472-8864. A representative from Peggy Adams will be at our next community meeting to address our concerns and empower us to taking action for the better of all of our neighborhood’s furry residents.

Dixie Hwy. 561-360-3017 O ld Northwood Rybovich Condo Development Includes Waterfront Public Access By George Southern The Rybovich design team held a presentation May 19 for Northwood neighbors just in advance of a May 23 city hearing on their Marina Village site plan application. Rybovich received a preliminary approval in 2014 to relocate their mega yacht refit yard to their facility in Riviera Beach and convert their West Palm property on the water at 41st Street into a high rise condo development overlooking the existing marina. Part of the agreement with the City of West Palm Beach is to allow public access to the water – something currently not available until one reaches Curry Park. Access would be limited to daylight hours, when folks could stroll along the water for at least a few blocks and gaze at the mega yachts. According to Rybovich planner Joshua Long, this will be the first public access from 41st Street in 90 years. Northwood residents got a chance to see the marina up close Thursday evening, where the major attraction was the 157-foot yacht “Venus,” envisioned by Steve Jobs but not completed until after his death. Said to cost some $130 million, Venus is now kept by Jobs’ widow in his memory. Like most mega yachts, her home port is George Town, Cayman Islands, thus avoiding U.S. taxes and safety and crew regulations. Details and timelines for the condo development have been hard to track heretofore, but Long revealed a company website that keeps up with plans and approvals: www.wpbmarinavillage.com. The first condo (see rendering) will see construction begin soon after receiving approval. The building will be marketed as rental units to reduce red tape, but after construction it will be converted to be sold as condos. Several NCON members who had followed the plans closely cautioned Rybovich officials at the meeting to take care of the surrounding Northwood neighborhoods during the construction phase. Long responded that property values in the neighborhood were of paramount importance to Rybovich. “They should be,” someone in the audience called out, “since you own most of the houses.” The NCON spokesman called for traffic calming measures on 41st street, but Long said he would not commit to that until local residents had been surveyed. Another NCON representative complained that the condo as shown looked beautiful from the water but showed less style from the land side. “You’re going to love it,” Long assured him – “I guarantee it.” The overall plans for the Rybovich development are for a 10year buildout, but Long said construction will depend on sales, with the next building not begun until the first one is sold out. Bringing Some Spanish Flair to a Spanish Mediterranean Style Home. By Jody Anderson-Dragon I love everything about Old Northwood’s charming Spanish Revival style homes. One of the reasons my family moved here was for the rich history and character of the Mediterranean houses. We were wooed by architectural elements; stucco exteriors that curve and arch, welcoming wood doors dressed in hammered black hardware, and terra-cotta barrel roof tiles. Before we had even moved in, I was dreaming up an earthy, spice-inspired palette accented with splashes of turquoise and cobalt framed in intricately hammered tin, but most of all, I had my heart set on tiling our staircase in Mexican tile. After a bit of research, I found that “Mexican tile” is actually the unglazed brown tile made in Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico. Authentic Saltillo tiles are made from rich clay excavated from local riverbanks, mixed with water, formed by hand and then dried in the sun before being fired (baked) in a kiln. The process of drying the tiles in the sun is how you may occasionally find one with animal prints! The colorful, intricately painted, handmade tiles I desired are called Talavera tile. Their namesake is a potter’s town just outside of Madrid, from which the Spanish exported the art of tile making and pottery to Mexico in the 16th and 17th centuries. You won’t find authentic Talavera tile at any big box store and can only purchase them from an exporter or tile specialty store, of which there are a plethora online and locally, in Palm Beach County. I came to learn that Talavera tiles are broadly categorized as solid colored, patterned, animal and themed, and generally are available in 2”x2”, 4”x4” or 6”x6” sizes. The combinations of size, color and patterns are dizzying. Before I began my project I measured the rise of my staircase, the width, and number of stairs. With 6” tiles costing approximately $6 each my calculations put the project out of budget. I asked at a local shop if they had any tile at a lower price point and was delighted to hear that there were tiles available for fifty cents apiece. Disclaimer: this route is not for the faint of heart, or those with bad knees. The dusty bins of tile are stored outside on a concrete slab. If you are lucky, they will provide you with a cardboard box. Bring your patience as it is hit or miss and changes weekly. I went on several occasions to gather enough tiles. Be forewarned, if you find a color or pattern you like, buy as many as you need because they will NOT likely be there next time! Also note that these tiles are almost all 4”x4.” As I was not ordering specific patterns I needed to compromise my initial uniformed vision and take a more eclectic route. I decided to keep each stair step a single pattern or color and unified them by using a solid brown trim that blends in with the dark wood stain on our wood stairs but there are endless options to suit most every taste. If you plan to install the tiles yourself, as I did, you will need some basic supplies including thin set (get the BIG tub), spacers (optional) and a trough, followed at least 24 hours later by grout (which comes in many colors), which you apply with a float and then remove the excess with water and rags. There are numerous YouTube tutorial videos available. Keep in mind that Talavera tile can be installed on almost any surface including drywall, cement, plaster, and in this case, wood. I strongly suggest laying out your tile and amassing your supplies before you begin. Most important, is deciding how you will cut your tile. Even if your measurements indicate a set number of uncut tiles, these handmade tiles can vary in size up to ¼ inch each. Hand snips, files and manual tile cutters are not nearly as efficient as a wet saw, which is suited for cutting thick or large quantities of tile. Wet saws are available for rent but inexpensive models will likely cost around the same amount. My colorful Talavera staircase is almost complete and I love it! Now, back to painting…. O ld Northwood Northwood Village Spotlight Moonlight Radiance Artisan Soap Market When you enter this lovely fragrant little shop, you will think that you have wondered into a Le Jardin in Paris. Then you hear a heavy Latin accent coming from a beautiful small woman with a passion for all her creations. This is Eyra Caldera, a soap Artisan, formulator, designer, photographer, and proprietor. She is Moonlight Radiance. She creates all her soap and candle formulas from scratch. All her products, soaps, candles, and many bath & body treats cannot be found anywhere else on the market. She also designs custom products for Weddings, Birthday, Baby Showers. Eyra grew up during the civil war in Nicaragua at a Christian boarding school, where she discovered her passion for crafting and Orchid growing. After her time at school, her Grandmother taught her how to make Garlic Soap. This was a soap that was used during those hard times for treating bacterial skin infections and is still being used for that purpose. Happy to tell you she no longer makes Garlic Soap!!! In 2009, during her two year stay in Seattle, Washington, she discovered the amazing art of soap designs. “What is better than making a product that has form and function with my very hands” AND it has been around for thousands of years. All her products are made with wholesome ingredients, that are naturally skin loving and nourishing. In Eyra's Little Garden of Scents you find not only soaps, candles, oils and scents, you will find lots of Orchids, handmade cards, jewelry, etc. and she may make you a mean cup of Nicaraguan coffee.
