Randolph mother puts son’s education before her cancer care

Even as classes got under way in Randolph, Christine Anderson still couldn’t make up her mind on where to send her son, Gavin Kennedy, to school this year, or whether to simply try to home-school him. For Anderson, the decision involves not just her son’s future, but her own. In late July, Anderson, 59, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Her doctors want her to start the chemotherapy and the radiation treatments to fight the disease as soon as possible. But if the choice came down to getting the treatment or doing what she thinks is best for Gavin, 7, she is willing to sacrifice her own well-being. “I don’t know if I can do that (chemotherapy and radiation) and the home schooling at the same time,” Anderson said. Anderson, 59, and cancer are on familiar terms. In the past 40 years, she has beaten ovarian, stomach and breast cancer. “They all can kill you, but this is a tough one,” she said. She’s also been disabled by injuries from a car accident four years ago, a rear-end collision with a drunken driver in Dedham. She’s lost count of the number of surgeries she’s had. Her doctors have warned her that if she doesn’t begin treatment soon, “I won’t be here next school year,” she said. The issue Anderson has with the Randolph schools is Gavin’s transfer from Martin Young Elementary to John F. Kennedy Elementary under a redistricting plan that took effect with the new school year. The purpose of the plan was to draw the district lines so that nearly all of the town’s …

Kauai Condos: Taking a History Lesson Before Your Visit Gives Perspective Few Have

If you’re opting to rent or buy one of the many beautiful Kauai condos, you likely already know that you are treating yourself to residence on one of the most beautiful and unique places on Earth. That said, you’d be surprised how many people visit this incredible Garden Isle paradise without truly understanding the historical context of how it came to be what it is today. Taking the time to understand that context will enrich your experience on Kauai, no matter how long you plan to stay!

The landscape diversity under the foundations of your Kauai condo

Like all the Hawaiian islands, Kaua’i was made by volcanoes pushing up, out of the sea. As the oldest island in the chain, its mountain tops don’t boast the height or size of its younger neighbors on the Big Island, but there is one claim to fame that sets Kauai apart from anywhere else: The eastern slopes of Kauai’s second highest mountain, Mount Wai’ale’ale, are one of the wettest spots on Earth – with over 460 inches of rain per yer!

Don’t worry though. Living on Kaua’i doesn’t mean you’ll be drenched all the time. Kaua’i actually has seven different distinct micro climates ranging from dry desert to tropical rain forest – which means that you have a wide range of climates to pick from when choosing where to rent or buy your Kauai condo or vacation home.

Understanding your lineage as a Kauai homeowner

Culturally, Kauai is very diverse as well. The Marquesans are believed to be the island’s first inhabitants, arriving from Polynesia around 400 A.D. 600 years later, the Tahitians arrived and overpowered the locals who called the island home. Much of the plant life, as well as the chickens that are ancestors to the scourge you currently see in Kauai, were originally brought by the Polynesian peoples.  

This island’s ruler, Kaumuali’i, managed to twice thwart invasion from King Kamehameha, even going so far as to negotiate with the Russians in an effort to maintain independence. He finally ceded Kaua’i on his deathbed to the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1824 in order to avoid further bloodshed.

The first well recorded European contact came in 1778 when Captain Cook landed in Waimea Bay. Starting in the mid-18th century, sugar plantations were Kauai’s most important industry, and opened the way for the waves of immigrants, whose ancestors make up Kauai’s multicultural population today.

Kauai originally had its own dialect, thought to be closer to its Polynesian origins than the other islands, and managed independence for so long in part because of its 1000-ft cliffs ringing the Na Pali Coast, a place that is accessible only by hiking, boat or helicopter even today!

Today, buying or renting Kauai condos means that you will take part in a line of paradise-seeking people dating back over a thousand years. Each era has left its mark, and if you understand what you’re looking at, there is nothing quite like hiking the Na Pali Coast or standing at an overlook on Waimea Canyon and envisioning history unfolding on this Eden-like island in the middle of the Pacific!

Naples Florida – Try Before You Buy

WCI Communities has been developing Florida beach and golf properties since 1946. After surveying non-members who had used their golf courses, 1 in 10 claimed they were interested in purchasing a home within the next 18 months.

According to WCI Revenue Development Director Jim Magnusson, this information supported the idea that “exposure to the WCI brand in action, leads to sales”. They decided to take this concept one step further and offer promotional getaway packages so that consumers could test the waters before purchasing real estate. Why not let potential buyers stay in a condo at one of the WCI resort properties and get a feel for life in a yachting or golf community.

The website at wcitravel.com displays current getaways in the various Southwest, Northwest, or Southeast Florida locations. Currently in the Naples area, the following promotions are available:

1. The Colony Golf & Bay Club – Choose from 2 rounds for 1 person, or 1 round each for 2 people, including 1 complimentary set of rental golf clubs for each round. Visitors will be put up for 3 days/2 nights at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort Golf Club and Spa.

The Colony Golf & Bay Club is a scenic 403 acre gated community. The Jerry Pate designed, 18 hole championship course winds through the neighborhood, ending at the elegant, Tuscan styled clubhouse which features golf shop, locker rooms and the Grille Room, for formal and casual dining, . Next door is the modern fitness center complete with pool, tennis courts, fitness room, pool and spa.

Residents are treated not only to golf, but access to a 34 acre island beach park, tennis center and canoe park. In addition to the two-story country club is a spa and fitness center and Bay Club for waterfront dining. Gorgeous Mediterranean styled homes start from the $690s going up to over $2.5 million.

2. Hammock Bay Golf Club – Choose from 2 rounds for 1 person, or 1 round each for 2 people, including 1 complimentary set of rental golf clubs for each round. Visitors will be put up for 3 days/2 nights at the Hilton Marco Island Beach Resort.

The championship Hammock Bay Golf & Country Club is an 18 hole course suited for all levels of players. Located near Marco Island, the course is set amidst the natural beauty of McIlvane Bay and the Ten Thousand Islands.

Homes at Hammock Bay feature luxury high rise condominiums such as the 20 story Lesina. This amenity laden building boasts movie theater, fitness center, billiards, social room, guest suites, air conditioned pool pavilion, heated pool, spa and cabanas. Currently the purchase of a Lesina residence comes with three years of free green fees.

3. The Tiburón Golf Club – Choose from 2 rounds for 1 person, or 1 round each for 2 people, including 1 complimentary set of NIKE rental golf clubs for each round. Visitors will be put up for 3 days/2 nights at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort in Naples.

The Greg Norman designed Tiburón (Spanish for “shark”), consists of two challenging 18 hole courses. Reminiscent of a British Open Links course, Norman has utilized the 800 acres of natural surroundings to shape a course that combines sod-wall bunkers, coquina waste bunkers, huge pine trees and acres of flowing fairways. When you aren’t in awe of the visual beauty of Tiburón, you’ll be cursing its deceptively challenging greens and never ending water features. Cool off after your game in the 27,000 square foot Mediterranean style clubhouse complete with casual and formal dining at Sydney’s Pub and Restaurant.

700 homes in varying styles surround the two Tiburón courses. Choose from condominiums, mid-rises and exclusive estate homes.

Over 800 homes reflecting Italianate, Spanish and Tuscan designs line the fairways and water features that meander through the community.
