Palm Beach Habilitation Center (PBHC) west of LWB needs volunteers.

How much do you know about this wonderful facility for the disabled near Lake Worth Beach? Why use LWB as a landmark?

Because this municipality is one of the six featured municipalities featured each and every week in The Palm Beach Post (a paper of record) since about the time PBSO merged with the City of Greenacres PD over 3½ years ago.

So for regular readers of the Post most of you would already know generally where the PBHC is located.

The Village of Palm Springs bills itself the “Garden Spot” in Palm Beach County and there is a Home Depot and Walmart in Palm Springs many in LWB rely on. And Patti Waller was recently re-elected. Again. She is now Mayor Pro Tem Patti Waller.

The PBHC used to be in unincorporated Palm Beach County but they were annexed into Palm Springs and everyone including State Representative David Silvers and State Senator Bobby Powell are very pleased about that. Below is a link to a story published in The Palm Beach Post last year.

PBHC is a center well-known for its work providing support and programs for those with disabilities. You may have heard about PBHC but didn’t know much more but they rely on volunteers from the community.

Volunteering at PBHC is year-round or seasonal and the hours are flexible according to your availability. For example, one way to volunteer is at TJ’s Café on a day or days during the week, on Monday–Friday from 9:30 a.m.–2:00 p.m. to assist clients and staff with taking orders, cashiering, food preparation, baking and cooking.

• The mailing address is 4522 S. Congress Ave. in Palm Springs.
• Phone number: 561-965-8500.
• Email: info@pbhab.com
• Or fill out this form and submit.

However. . .

If today or tomorrow or next year a reporter from CBS12 (WPEC) or the Post shows up near the corner Congress Ave. and 6th Ave. South to report on an event or a crime or a vehicle crash at that intersection — or anywhere else in suburban Lake Worth for that matter — almost 100% of the time they will say they are either ‘in Lake Worth’ or ‘near Lake Worth’.

The concept of anything happening near another municipality like Palm Springs or Boynton Beach is either a foreign concept to them or they just don’t care.

But if one was looking out the window from the PBHC watching what a CBS12 or Post reporter was doing in just about 1½ minutes that person if taught the steps would know exactly where that reporter is and/or was.

With just a few clicks any reporter who cares can find out exactly where they are in just moments. For example, the Post beat reporter for Lake Worth Beach knew exactly where the PBHC was last year — despite PBHC having a ‘Lake Worth’ mailing address and zip code — and the editor of The Palm Beach Post knows that a man killed on a bicycle last Saturday occurred in the Lake Worth region between the cities of Greenacres and Boynton Beach.

CBS12 does not care about accuracy when it comes to Lake Worth Beach or the Lake Worth region; that’s why I watch WPTV (NBC5). The Palm Beach Post many times does not care either; and am reading a lot more news in the Sun Sentinel now. Maybe that switch will happen this week. Who needs three newspaper subscriptions when there is the LOCAL Lake Worth Herald as well?
