Island resident Tonya Novak celebrated her 100th birthday on Thursday, Jan. 5, with family and friends. She has enjoyed living on the island since the late 1960s. Having her art gallery at El Encanto gave her the opportunity to get to know people both near and far. She is best known for her bronze sculpture, in front of the hospital, of the beloved Dr. Staff, who many know as the baby doctor of Avalon.
