Commissioner’s Update
More Development Slated For
Western Communities
By Commissioner
Hal R. Valeche
As the housing market
begins to recover from
the previous economic
downturn, property owners
in western Palm Beach
County are beginning
to come forward with
development proposals
for local governments to
consider. Recently, the Palm
Beach County Commission approved 2,000 homes on
1,200 acres, known as the Highland Dunes Planned Unit
Development project. Located approximately 2.5 miles west
of Seminole Pratt Whitney Road on the north side of Southern
Boulevard, this site was originally part of the Palm Beach
Aggregates Mining Area.
Another project requesting development approval is
the Minto West project, formerly known as Callery Judge
Groves. This site is comprised of 3,800 acres and is located
east and west of Seminole Pratt Whitney Boulevard, south
of 60th Street North and north of 50th Street North. The
developer is proposing a mixed-use community to include
6,500 homes; 1.4-million-square-feet of non-residential
uses; a 150-room hotel; a 3,000-student college campus and
a baseball stadium. The site is currently in active agriculture
use, with built parcels including a utility site and a packing
plant. This project is scheduled to come before the County
Commission in April for consideration of an application to
amend the land use. If approved at that time, it will come back
to the County Commission in June and August for adoption
of the comprehensive land use plan. If approved, the project
will go through the zoning process and could be discussed
again by the County Commission as soon as the fall of 2014.
The city of Palm Beach Gardens will be considering
approval of a project known as Avenir. This property is located
along the north side of Northlake Boulevard approximately
one mile east of Seminole Pratt-Whitney Road. The site is
comprised of 4,760 acres and was formerly known as the
Vavrus parcel. The developer is requesting approval for 7,600
residential units; 500,000 square feet of retail/service space;
1,000,000 square feet of office space; 200,000 square feet of
medical office; a 300-room hotel; a 300-bed assisted living
facility, and a university campus.
GL Homes has acquired a 4,390-acre parcel of land located
west of Seminole Pratt Whitney Road and south of Northlake
Boulevard. At this time, no development applications have
been received regarding future plans for this site.
Public input is critical to the planning and zoning process
and I welcome comments on any of these projects.
If I can be of assistance in any way, please don’t hesitate
to contact my office at 355-2201 or by e-mail at hvaleche@
pbcgov.org.
Town Of Jupiter Update
Public Transportation
In Jupiter
By Wendy Harrison,
Vice Mayor
In honor of St. Patrick’s
Day this month, I’d like to let
you know about an important
way you can “go green,”
which is to consider using
public transportation to get
around in Jupiter and in Palm
Beach County. The county
bus system, known as Palm
Tran, provides two different
modes of service in Jupiter: the scheduled fixed route system,
and a door-to-door service known as Connection.
Route 10
The Route 10 bus serves Jupiter and Palm Beach Gardens
and connects to other routes at several stops between the Gardens
Mall and Chasewood Plaza on Indiantown Road. From Abacoa,
you can travel north to the library, the post office, Jupiter
Medical Center, Town Hall and the Community Center, Jupiter
High School and Indiantown Road between Military Trail and
Central Boulevard. To the south, Dwyer High School and Nova
Southeastern University are on this route. At the Gardens Mall,
20 minutes away from Abacoa, several routes converge at the
transfer area near Sears. There are three stops in Abacoa Town
Center as well as stops on University just west of Military and on
Central just north of Donald Ross at the Publix shopping center.
The regular fare is $2 each way ($1 for seniors and students
with ID) and you can pay in cash on the bus. Route 10 runs on an
hourly schedule Monday through Saturday and currently carries
more than 400 riders on an average weekday. If the ridership
continues to increase, we may be able to have more frequent
service and/or Sunday service. When my daughter was in high
school and not yet driving, she rode Palm Tran several times
from her school in West Palm Beach as well as to the Gardens
Mall. It’s safe and convenient and the busses are equipped with
bike racks.
You can use Google maps or a service called Infopoint on
the Palm Tran Web site: http://www.pbcgov.com/infopoint/ to
get real time information on bus locations and expected arrivals.
If you catch the bus in Abacoa Town Center, make sure to note
the direction as the north and southbound busses usually cross
paths in that area.
Connection Service
Connection is the name of the county’s paratransit service,
which provides shared-ride, door-to-door transportation
service to eligible riders and visitors in Palm Beach County
(such as disabled people and/or seniors). The fare is $3.50 per
one-way trip and you make a reservation for a specific time
at least a day in advance.
If you or someone you know is homebound because they
don’t or can’t drive, please do check out the Connection
service. The service provider had some problems last year, but
the on-time rate is now over 90 percent and the vast majority
of customers are satisfied. You need to preregister for the
service, call (561) 649-9838 for more information.
Future Public Transportation
You’ve probably heard about the All-Aboard Florida
rail service that will connect Miami to the Orlando Airport,
stopping at Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. It’s a
privately-funded project that will add tracks to the existing
FEC right-of-way to allow a three-hour travel time between
Miami and Orlando. It will be a premium-level service (e.g.,
reserved seating, wi-fi) and they plan to begin operating in the
next couple of years. While there will certainly be economic
benefits to the area generally and while passenger trains are
shorter, quicker and quieter than freight, the town is working
to minimize potential negative impacts, such as pedestrian and
driver safety hazards, and problems for boaters because of the
Loxahatchee River bridge being closed more frequently.
The Tri-Rail Coastal Link will be an extension of the
existing commuter service between Miami and West Palm,
but it will use the more eastern FEC right-of-way (another
reason to add the tracks above). Because this project is going
through the slower, publicly-funded process, it will likely be
at least five years before the service comes to the planned
station at Toney Penna Drive in Jupiter.
The town’s Web site: www.jupiter.fl.us has links to Palm
Tran and to Tri-Rail if you’d like more information on these
alternatives.
And as always, please don’t hesitate to contact me if you
have any suggestions or concerns. Even if I personally can’t
solve the problem, either I or town staff can usually direct
you to someone who can. The bottom line is we are here to
help. You can call me at my home office, (561) 624-0240 or
e-mail at [email protected].
Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Northern Notes
How To Get Along With Snakes
By O’Neal Bardin Jr.
Executive Director
Northern Palm Beach
County Improvement District
Living in Florida, you
have no doubt come across
snakes in your travels. A fear
of snakes, or ophidiophobia,
is common in many people.
Interactions between people
and venomous snakes in
residential areas are much
less common than those involving non-venomous species,
and the risk of snakebite (venomous or non-venomous) is
extremely small. You may be able to safely feed squirrels in
a city park, but if you grab one of the squirrels, chances are it
will bite and scratch you out of fear. Most people would not
condemn squirrels because they defend themselves by biting
and scratching. Snakes defend themselves mostly by fleeing,
but they may bite if captured and harmed. However, biting is
not a sign that they are dangerous; it is just the only way that
most snakes have to defend themselves.
There are only six species of venomous snakes in
Florida, and only four of these species are found south of
the Gainesville area. Attempting to harass, handle or kill
venomous snakes significantly increases your chances of
being bitten, so it is best to adopt a “leave it be” attitude for
all snakes. This also can help to prevent the needless killing
of harmless snake species. If you are not 100 percent sure of
the identity of a snake just “leave it be.”
If You Have Snakes Around Your House:
• You should feel lucky as they are there for a reason.
• All snakes are carnivorous and a benefit to humans. For
example, rat snakes eat rodents such as mice and rats, and king
snakes eat these rodents as well as other snakes, including
venomous snakes.
• If you find a snake in your backyard, swimming pool,
or garage, do not try to kill it! Instead, try to identify it and
if it is non-venomous, appreciate it and leave it alone just as
you do with songbirds in your garden. However, if you are
uncertain or it is a venomous species- leave it alone.
• Although we recommend leaving all snakes alone,
catching most snakes around your house can be done safely
using a plastic garbage can and household broom (see below).
• Species such as North American racers and coachwhips
are fast moving and may be longer than the garbage can,
but with a little patience these snakes can be guided into the
garbage can.
• If it is a small species like a ringneck snake or crowned
snake, turn it loose in your garden where it can do its job
eating little pest insects.
How To Safely Catch A Snake:
• Lay a plastic garbage can on its side, stand safely back
and reach out with a long house broom to sweep the snake
into the can. Slow but firm brush strokes are best. Flailing at it
will only agitate the snake. A snake can strike up to two-thirds
its body length.
• Once the snake is inside, stand the garbage can up and
put the lid on it. Make sure your fingers are safely behind the
lip of the can. The snake cannot bite through the plastic and
cannot climb the smooth sides.
• Snap the lid on the garbage can and tie or tape it securely
in place. Neither you nor the snake is harmed. Secure in the
garbage can, the snake can now be removed from the property.
Most snakes can be safely removed this way – they should
never be killed.
If You Are Bitten By A Snake:
• Most people are bitten on the hands and arms when they
are handling or trying to kill a snake. Therefore, if you are
uncertain of its identity do not try to catch or even kill a snake.
• For a short time after a snake is killed, its reflexes may
continue to work. Those reflexes typically cause the body
to writhe slowly. Poking or prodding a freshly killed snake
can cause a convulsive contraction and even a bite, so do not
handle a newly killed venomous snake.
• Stay calm, remove any rings that could restrict circulation
if tissues swell, keep the bitten limb below the level of the
heart.
• The only acceptable treatment for venomous snakebite,
involves the use of antivenin. So if you or someone else is
bitten by a venomous snake, seek immediate attention at the
nearest hospital or medical facility.

IFAS Web site at: http://ufwildlife.ifas.ufl.edu/index.shtml
*****
NPDES tip: Please pick up after your pet. When pet
waste is washed into lakes or canals the waste decays, using
up oxygen and sometimes releasing ammonia. Low oxygen
levels and ammonia combined with warm temperatures can
kill fish. Pet waste also contains nutrients that encourage
weed and algae growth. Overly fertile water becomes cloudy
and green –unattractive for boating and fishing. Perhaps most
importantly, pet waste carries diseases, which make water
unsafe.

“It’s spring fever. And
when you’ve got it... it
makes your heart ache, you
want it so!” – Mark Twain
Happy March!
This is a good time to
revisit and recommit to your
resolutions. March Madness
is a phenomenon that grips
the nation. This is a time of awakening--and to help you
awaken--I’ve composed a list of five SURE-FIRE WAYS
TO RENEW YOUR SPIRIT--and your heart--SINGLE OR
NOT.
1. Don a New Look. Book an appointment at a trendy
salon and change your hair color or cut (good for men
or women). Search through magazines or when you see
someone with a style you admire, ask where he or she goes.
The better you look and feel, the more admirers you will
attract. If you are a man who is missing some or all of his
hair...don’t worry. Many women love bald men!
2. Enroll today for our “LUCKY IN LOVE” SPEED
DATING PARTY this month. You MUST be a Single,
Divorced, or Widowed adult from ages 25 to 85 to apply.
Luckily, we don’t take walk-ins. Our parties are separated by
age groups so don’t worry about being with someone too
young or too old. Everyone must wear something green to
this A List Singles Party. Surely your Spring Season will be
guaranteed to kick off with a special someone. Please call
today otherwise you may not get in.
3. Pick Yourself Up. Visit Dr. Alan Jacobson for some
solid counsel on injectables or face and neck procedures.
Finding a good plastic surgeon is an important process
to which all should give considerable thought. I highly
recommend Alan L. Jacobson, M.D. who is a board-certified
cosmetic surgeon in Jupiter. Mention This Column to receive
“special treatment.” Injectables are a serious procedure and
should be performed in by a doctor (561-624-0900).
4. I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ice Cream!!
The weather is warmer and it’s the perfect time to visit your
local ice cream parlor! This is a good idea to combine with a
movie date so you can enjoy some chit chat over ice cream.
I think it’s impossible to have a negative thought in an ice
cream parlor!
5. Try a new shade of lipstick Ladies. I enjoy this
pastime whenever the seasons change. For the more daring,
book an appointment at your favorite makeup counter
(Chanel, Mac, Lancome, Bobbi Brown, for example), and
have the pros show you the way!
This month, abandon the ordinary dull routines of your
life that are not working for you and access a deeper wisdom
through some bold and positive action. Two is always better
then one.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!
Much Love,
Kelly xoxo

Schneider Joins
Hammerheads
The Miami Marlins have announced the coaching staff
for its Advanced-A affiliate, the Jupiter Hammerheads, and
there will be a new manager in 2014. Brian Schneider will
take over as the skipper of the Hammerheads this season
replacing former manager, Andy Haines, who has moved
on to manage the Marlins AAA affiliate, the New Orleans
Zephyrs. Schneider will be joined by pitching coach Joe
Coleman and hitting coach Corey Hart who were both a part
of the Hammerheads staff in 2013. Also joining the staff will
be trainer Rich Ramirez and strength and conditioning coach
Robert Reichert.
This will be Schneider’s first time managing after retiring
as a player following the 2012 season. Schneider played for
13 years in the Major Leagues with the Montreal Expos,
Washington Nationals, New York Mets and Philadelphia
Phillies. The former catcher was drafted by the Expos in the
fifth round of the 1995 MLB Draft and made his big league
debut five years later in May of 2000.
Schneider played 82 games for the Hammerheads in 1998
in their inaugural season when Jupiter was still affiliated with
the Expos.
Coleman returns to the Hammerheads for this third season
in the Marlins organization. Prior to 2012, Coleman spent
five seasons as pitching coach for the Lakeland Flying Tigers.
He was a first round selection of the Washington Senators
in 1965 and pitched for 15 years at the Major League level
with the Senators, the Detroit Tigers, the Chicago Cubs, the
Oakland Athletics, the Toronto Blue Jays, the San Francisco
Giants and the Pittsburgh Pirates.
2014 will be Hart’s third season with Jupiter. Previously,
he spent two years with the Marlins Double-A affiliate,
the Jacksonville Suns. From 2006-2009, he coached in the
Milwaukee Brewers system, where he also played in 2005.
Hart, a former infielder, was originally drafted in the 23rd
round by the Kansas City Royals in 1997.
This will be Ramirez’s first year on the Hammerheads
staff. Ramirez formerly worked in the Marlins system as the
trainer/strength and conditioning coach for the Gulf Coast
Marlins from 2005-2006. His other baseball experience
includes time spent as the assistant trainer/strength and
conditioning coach for Team Puerto Rico in the 2006 World
Baseball Classic and head trainer/strength and conditioning
coach for the Harrisburg Senators from 2002-2005.
Reichert will be returning to the staff in 2014, after
working with the Hammerheads as a strength and conditioning
coach during the 2012 season. Reichert graduated from the
University of Louisiana at Lafayette with a Bachelor of
Science in kinesiology and exercise science.

please visit JupiterHammerheads.com or call (561)

Baseball season is finally here. And nothing beats
enjoying a ballgame with a mouthwatering hot dog and an
ice cold drink on a sunny afternoon at Roger Dean Stadium.
With spring training upon us, and the Florida State League
just around the corner, thousands of fans will be passing
through the gates at Roger Dean Stadium every day. And with
an abundance of food choices, all of them will be leaving
with happy stomachs.
The 2014 menu will feature the ballpark classics, new
delicacies, and an array of healthy-choice options to please
even the strictest diets.
Roger Dean Stadium is excited to partner with Delaware
North Companies (DNC) to provide the best quality ballpark
food. And Andrew Yantek, the new general manager of DNC,
is looking forward to many new
food options for the 2014 season.
The fresh smell of ballpark food will be extra pungent for
spring training as portable carts will be scattered throughout
the stadium, right in the thick of the action. Two “grill carts”
will feature lip-smacking hot dogs on pretzel buns served
with freshly made kettle chips.
A new “Grab and Go” location will also be easily
accessible to fans and will be the prime setting for the healthy
eaters at the park. There will be wraps, salads, parfait cups
and a host of other delicious items that will only be sold at
the “Grab and Go” site.
“We want those that have really restricted diets to be able
to have something here at the ballpark,” Yantek said. “We
want to drive the folks to eat (at the stadium) and not stop
somewhere else on the way.”
And with some of the best ballpark food around, including
some exciting new items, the only place to go on game day
is the Roger Dean Stadium eateries.
While you can’t go wrong with a tasty cheeseburger, a
satisfying chicken tender basket, or the fan-favorite peanuts
and Cracker Jack combination, there will be a new, must-have
item this spring training: the “Helmet Nacho.”
“It’s the size of the helmet you would wear on your head,
filled with nachos, cheese sauce, salsa and peppers,” Yantek
explained. “It’s a pretty awesome-looking product.”
The Cardinals or Marlins helmet will also be available
for popcorn during spring training, with free refills all game
long.
The MVP Grille on the first base side of the concourse
will feature plenty of delicious food treats for the most loyal
St. Louis or Miami fan. The top-selling “Chicago Cubs Hater
Dog” and the “St. Louis Bacon Wrap Dog” will highlight
the Cardinals themed eats, while Marlins fans will be able to
indulge in great fish options or try the savory “Miami Dog.”
If seafood is your go-to baseball fare, the Island Grill
in the concourse is for you. This location will be the hub
for fresh mahi tacos, shrimp po’boy sandwiches, and
scrumptious crab cake sliders.
Several extra vendors will be out in force for spring
training to bring in a unique set of cuisine as well.
“You may even see something like a fried Twinkie or
fried Oreos out on the concourse,” Yantek said with a smile.
With several new flavorsome options to complement the
fan favorites, there will definitely be something for everyone.
And getting your hands on this delicious food has never
been easier.
Back for the 2014 season, the GeeBo in-seat food service
option will allow fans to order and pay for concessions with

U-Drive Farm Tour
By Vickie Ambrosch
In January, the Abacoa Community Garden (ACG)
received an invitation via our Facebook page from the
Gold & Treasure Coast Chapter of Slow Food International
(www.slowfoodusa.com) to be included in this year’s annual
“U-Drive Farm Tour.” This was the first time they included
some of the area’s community gardens.
The tour covered the chapter’s five-county areas from
Sebastian/Indian River County to Okeechobee, St. Lucie,
Martin and Northern Palm Beach counties. The tour was
free to the public. People checked their map of stops and
personalized a tour of stops they wanted to visit and got in
their car and headed out.
Each farm or garden were asked to be open to the visitors
for up to two hours so that busy farmers and gardeners could
continue to work without interruption from visitors. They
asked that we have one or more volunteer(s) to give a brief
MB Stephan Ambrosch describing the garden’s experimental
plot where we grow vegetables in soilless medium.
history of how the garden came to be, who maintains it and
literally “how our garden grows.”
The tour was held on Feb. 8 and the ACG was open to
visitors from 2 to 3 p.m. Stephan and Vickie Ambrosch and
Liz Poulson hosted the tour for the garden. Those who visited
us were very impressed and wanted to know how we got
started, how the garden operates, how we donate food, how
do we know what to plant, etc.
Overall, this was a great opportunity to showcase the
ACG and to network with other gardeners and the Slow Food
movement.

Welcome To Vickie’s Whole Food Cooking!
By Vickie Ambrosch
[email protected]
Happy March! This
month’s vegetable from the
garden is kale. I recently
spent some time visiting my
grandson, Cole, in the San
Francisco Bay area. Cole is
6 years old and loves kale.
We put this recipe together
as a team giving us some great quality time together. If you
have children, grandchildren, etc., encourage them to try this
recipe as this leafy green is one of the healthiest vegetables
on the planet. Providing nutritional foods, whether raw or
cooked, for my family is a high priority for me so I prepare
my meals using only the most wholesome of foods. I hope
you continue to enjoy reading my columns. If you have
been following my recipes, you probably have noticed that
all my recipes are gluten free, however, substitutions can be
made. I prefer to use all organic ingredients in my recipes
and as a member of the Abacoa Community Garden, I
use as much as the garden can provide, depending on the
season. My goal is to encourage individuals and families
to think about cooking at least one day a week using whole
foods vs. processed foods. Buen provecho!
Quote of the month: “The glory of gardening: hands
in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture
a garden is to feed
not just on the body,
but the soul.”

varieties
in Greece in the
4th century B.C.
Russian kale was introduced into Canada and the United
States by Russian traders in the 19th century.
The cultivation of kale in the U.K. was encouraged
by the Dig for Victory campaign during World War II.
The vegetable was easy to grow and it provided important
nutrients to supplement those missing from a normal diet
because of rationing.

Kale belongs to the Brassica family that includes
cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, collards, broccoli
and Brussel sprouts. Leafy green kale is available in curly,
ornamental or dinosaur varieties.
Kale is rapidly gaining in popularity, so move over
Popeye and make room for the “queen of greens.” It is being
recognized for its exceptional nutrition richness and health
benefits, and it has a delicious flavor. It’s primarily linked to
the high concentration and excellent source of antioxidant
vitamins A, C and K. It is also a good source of copper,
potassium, iron, manganese and phosphorus.
Eating a variety of natural, unprocessed vegetables
can do wonders for your health but choosing supernutritious kale on a regular basis may provide significant
health benefits, including cancer protection and lowered
cholesterol. In a nutshell, kale is a superfood.
This serves two, if you are serving it as a main or four,
if serving it as a side dish.
1 bunch of kale
1 lemon
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tomato (optional), cut up into small bite-size pieces
½ to ¾ cup pitted Kalamata olives (optional)
Pecorino Romano (optional), grated
1. De-stem the kale and tear into bite-size pieces.
2. Rinse well, spin dry in salad spinner or lay out on a
towel and pat dry.
3. Put in a salad bowl, preferably wooden but glass will
work.
4. Cut lemon in half, squeeze in a small bowl, remove
seeds.
5. Pour lemon juice over kale
6. Sprinkle salt on top
7. Massage the kale for four-to-five minutes. The salt
and acid in the lemon juice breaks down the cell walls of the
kale, softening it while making it sweeter. The kale is ready
when you see kale juices accumulating at the bottom of the
bowl.
8. Add olive oil and give it one more good massage.
9. Add the tomato and Kalamata olives and toss;
sprinkle Pecorino Romano on top.

Find The Right
Golf Ball For
Your Game
While all attention has been on Metalwoods and
technologies that can launch golf balls higher with less
spin, the golf ball itself continues to slip under the radar,
yet it remains the technology that has had the most dramatic
impact on your golf. And if it hasn’t, it’s safe to say you are
not playing with the right golf ball.
Many golfers who used to be prone to slicing the ball
will have either believed that their swings have improved
dramatically or caught onto the fact that they have a golf
ball that doesn’t spin as much. Others will have seen material
distance improvements without any loss of feel. And when
was the last time you saw a golf ball that looked damaged?
How resilient are they today?
However, just as the different driver models from the
manufacturers will perform quite differently depending on
the golfer using them, so will the golf ball. In fact, I would
say that the golf ball is the area where golfers have invested
the least amount of time in finding the best solution for their
individual game. They seem to be split into two camps: one
who believes that any golf ball will do on the day and the
other who have made their decision based on what they see
others play and now won’t change.
Contact us at (561) 622-0036 and let us help you find the
best golf ball to match to your game this year.

Meet Your Neighbor – The Scotts
By Barbara Bretan, Abacoa Property Owners’ Assembly
Antigua residents Micah and Sarah Scott are very happy
with their decision to live in Abacoa. They enjoy the easy
walk to Abacoa Town Center, with its restaurants and variety
of special events. They are especially glad that they live in
a live/work unit.
Having a live/work unit allows the couple to combine
their living space upstairs with a studio for Micah’s music
business. They no longer have the additional cost of a
separate studio. Commuting costs are nil as Micah just
heads downstairs to work. If he wants lunch or a snack, it’s
a short walk back upstairs. There no worry about having left
something at home, it’s just upstairs. Everything is so much
simpler.
Being in Antigua also simplifies their lives. They are
virtually steps away from the Abacoa Town Center. It’s easy
access to the restaurants and to the variety of events and
festivals there. Micah has performed at several of the festivals
and Rooney’s, as well as events on the FAU campus. Sarah
likes that she can easily walk to see him perform.
Music is the center of Micah’s life, second only to wife
Sarah. His favorite music is American, Irish and Blue Grass,
though he is accomplished in a variety of genres. He is a
member of the Killbillies, a local band. Micah has worked
with the Maltz Jupiter Theater and area congregations. Micah
can usually be found practicing, performing or teaching
music. A classically trained musician, Micah owns Sonic
Sessions, teaching students from 6 – adult. He relishes being
able to bring his love of percussion, brass and, of course, the
guitar and banjo to his students.
Sarah, who works for an intellectual property law firm, is
able to work from home as well. Having wonderful neighbors
who are also running their businesses from home is another
aspect of living in Antigua that delights the Scotts. They form
a community with shared experiences, able to learn from and
support each other.
When it’s time for a break, Sarah enjoys yoga, barre
exercise and Pilates classes. They both love their two dogs, a
pug and pug/French bulldog mix. The couple enjoys visiting
the monthly Food Truck Invasion, as well as other Abacoa
Sarah and Micah Scott
Town Center events, whether or not Micah is playing there.
Sarah and Micah Scott truly live work and play in Abacoa.
Mah-Jongg At Copacabana
By Anna Rosen
We have a number of new faces at our bi-monthly mahjongg events. We want to welcome all our new players as
they become acquainted with our regulars enjoying lunch
and tackling the intricacies of our favorite game!
Our January and February games have been extremely
well attended with an average of 10 tables at each game.
I have had to limit the number of tables to no more than
10 since Copacabana is very busy with its own regular
customers. Glad to see a new addition to our Abacoa
family doing so well! Our Jan. 22 event had us all huddled
inside since the temperature outside reached no higher than
a “freezing” 60 degrees. I know, for those in areas like
Wisconsin, Maine and many other parts of the country where
temperatures have gone below the teens, this is hot. However,
for us seasoned Floridians, anything below 70 degrees calls
for artic wear! Our Feb. 5 event had us enjoying our beautiful
Florida weather at this time of year so we had tables inside
and outside.
Just a reminder ... the 2014 National Mah-Jongg League
cards will start shipping out at the end of March. All bulk
orders received by retailers will arrive the second week of
April. Many of you have already pre-ordered your cards. If
you have not, please do so ASAP. Last year, because so many
players waited until the last minute to order, the league’s
Web site crashed! We order a substantial amount of cards but
because we supply customers nationwide and worldwide, by
the time we receive the cards in April we are sold out. The
Whether inside or out, Copacabana is a great place to play mah-jongg.
cards this year are: $8 for the standard print, $9 for the large
print.
We do give quantity discounts for orders of 20 or more
of each size.
If you have not checked our Web site lately, we
have added a number of
new items such as our new
Mah-Jongg Messenger Bags
in six bright colors. These
Messenger Bags have many
uses including carrying your
small electronics. The price? Only $18.95 including shipping
and handling. You can check out our complete line at www.
funwithmahjongg.com.
You can see these or any of our other items when you
attend our mah-jongg events at Copacabana. In March, our
event will take place March 5 and March 26.
Come join us! Reservations are a must. To reserve your
spot for you or your friends please call Anna Rosen at (561)
627-5090.
In the meantime ... Have a Great Mah-Jongg Day!

Science On The Cutting Edge
Scripps Florida Team Awarded $2.3 Million To Unlock
Mysteries Of Long-Term Memory
Scientists from the
Florida campus of The
Scripps Research Institute
(TSRI) have been awarded
approximately $2.3 million
from the National Institute
of Mental Health to study
the processes involved in
long-term memory and how
deficits in those processes
contribute to brain diseases.
Sathyanarayananan
Puthanveettil, a TSRI Sathyanarayananan
assistant professor, will be Puthanveettil
principal investigator of the
new five-year study.
The study focuses on “axonal transport,” the cellular
process whereby gene products move to and from a nerve
cell body along its axon, the narrow, cable-like structure
critical for signaling other nerve cells, muscles and glands.
“This new grant will help us better understand the role of
axonal transport in long-term memory storage and identify
signaling pathways that regulate it,” Puthanveettil said.
“Once we identify the molecular regulators of axonal
transport, we may be able to manipulate them to produce
new and innovative approaches to the treatment of memory
disorders.”
In earlier studies, Puthanveettil and his colleagues have
shown that kinesin, a molecular motor protein, plays a key
role in learning and memory.
The number of the new National Institutes of Health grant
is 1R01MH094607.

... Find Regulator Of Plaque
Buildup In Alzheimer’s Disease
Scientists from the
Florida campus of The
Scripps Research Institute
have identified a critical
regulator of a molecule
deeply involved in the
progression of Alzheimer’s
disease.
The new study, published
in an advance, online edition
of the Journal of Biological
Chemistry, shows for the
first time that levels of Srini Subramaniam
this regulating protein are
decreased in the brains of Alzheimer’s disease sufferers and
that this decrease could be a significant factor in the advance
of the disease.
The regulator is known as Rheb, a protein that many
believe may be active in neural plasticity, the ability of the
brain to change in response to learning.
In the new study, the scientists found that Rheb binds
and regulates activity of a molecule known as BACE1,
an important enzyme in Alzheimer’s disease pathology,
establishing for the first time a new molecular link between
Rheb and BACE1.
“We found that Rheb regulates BACE1, which is a major
drug target in Alzheimer’s disease,” said Srini Subramaniam,
a TSRI biologist who led the study. “Studies of the autopsied
brains of Alzheimer’s patients have found a significant
reduction in Rheb, so it is possible that an increase in Rheb
could reverse the buildup of amyloid plaque.”
The study noted that in some genetically modified animal
models, an increase of Rheb has already been shown to
reduce BACE1 levels and the production of amyloid plaque.
“If we can uncover the mechanism by which Rheb alters
BACE1 levels, that would be a very good drug target,” said

The new study indicates that Rheb degrades BACE1
through a number of pathways, but more research needs to
be done before drug candidates can be developed.
“We’re very interested in the disease process and plan
to keep moving forward to understand precisely how Rheb

... Invent Breakthrough
Approach To Quickly Identify
New Drug Candidates From
Genome Sequence
As Proof-Of-Principle, The Team Designs Potent AntiCancer Compound
In research that could ultimately lead to many new
medicines, scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps
Research Institute (TSRI) have developed a potentially
general approach to design drugs from genome sequence. As
a proof of principle, they identified a highly potent compound
that causes cancer cells to attack themselves and die.
“This is the first time therapeutic small molecules have
been rationally designed from only an RNA sequence –
something many doubted could be done,” said Matthew
Disney, Ph.D, an associate professor at TSRI who led the
study. “In this case, we have shown that that approach allows
for specific and unprecedented targeting of an RNA that
causes cancer.”
The technique, described in the journal Nature Chemical
Biology online ahead of print on Feb. 9 was dubbed Inforna.
“With our program, we can identify compounds with high
specificity,” said Sai Pradeep Velagapudi, the first author of
the study and a graduate student working in the Disney lab.
“In the future, we hope we can design drug candidates for
other cancers or for any pathological RNA.”
In Search Of New Approaches
In their research program, Disney and his team has been
developing approaches to understand the binding of drugs to
RNA folds. In particular, the lab is interested in manipulating
microRNAs.
Discovered only in the 1990s, microRNAs are short
molecules that work within virtually all animal and plant
The new method identified a highly potent compound that
causes cancer cells to attack themselves and die. (Image

cells. Typically each one functions as a “dimmer switch”
for one or more genes; it binds to the transcripts of those
genes and effectively keeps them from being translated into
proteins. In this way microRNAs can regulate a wide variety
of cellular processes.
Some microRNAs have been associated with diseases.
MiR-96 microRNA, for example, is thought to promote
cancer by discouraging a process called apoptosis or
programmed cell death that can rid the body of cells that
begin to grow out of control.
As part of its long-term program, the Disney lab developed
computational approaches that can mine information against
such genome sequences and all cellular RNAs with the goal
of identifying drugs that target such disease-associated RNAs
while leaving others unaffected.
“In recent years we’ve seen an explosion of information
about the many roles of RNA in biology and medicine,” said
Peter Preusch, Ph.D, of the National Institute of Health’s
National Institute of General Medical Sciences, which
partially funded the research. “This new work is another
example of how Disney is pioneering the use of small
molecules to manipulate disease-causing RNAs, which have
been underexplored as potential drug targets.”
“Unprecedented” Findings
In the new study, Disney and colleagues describe their
computational technique, which identifies optimal drug
targets by mining a database of drug-RNA sequence (“motif”)
interactions against thousands of cellular RNA sequences.
Using Inforna, the team identified compounds that can
target microRNA-96, as well as additional compounds that
target nearly two dozen other disease-associated microRNAs.
The researchers showed that the drug candidate that
inhibited microRNA-96 inhibited cancer cell growth.
Importantly, they also showed that cells without functioning
microRNA-96 were unaffected by the drug.
“This illustrates an unparalleled selectivity for the
compound,” Disney noted. “In contrast, typical cancer
therapeutics target cells indiscriminately, often leading to
side effects that can make these drugs difficult for patients
to tolerate.”

Disney added that the new drug candidate, which is easy
to produce and cell permeable, targets microRNA-96 far
more specifically than the state-of-the-art method to target
RNA (using oligonucleotides) currently in use. “That’s
unprecedented and provides great excitement for future
developments.”
In addition to Disney and Velagapudi, Steven M. Gallo
of the University of Buffalo was an author of the study,
“Sequence-Based Design of Bioactive Small Molecules That
Target Precursor MicroRNAs.”
The work was supported by the National Institutes of
Health (grant R01GM097455) and the Camille and Henry
Dreyfus Foundation.
... Offer New Insight Into
Neuron Changes Brought
About By Aging

research includes: Valerio Rizzo, Beena Kadakkuzha,
Sathya Puthanveettil and Komol Akhmedov. (Photo by

How aging affects communication between neurons is
not well understood, a gap that makes it more difficult to treat
a range of disorders, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
disease.
A new study from the Florida campus of The Scripps
Research Institute (TSRI) offers insights into how aging
affects the brain’s neural circuitry, in some cases significantly
altering gene expression in single neurons. These discoveries
could point the way toward a better understanding of how
aging affects our cognitive ability and new therapeutic
targets for the treatment of neurodegenerative disease.
“Although we don’t know exactly why, we do know there
is a signaling imbalance as we age, and we’ve captured these
changes at the single neuron level,” said Sathyanarayanan V.
Puthanveettil, a TSRI assistant professor who led the work.
“If we could identify the underpinnings of this mechanism,
we may be able to target the specific mechanism to affect or
reverse the aging process in human neurons.”
To record the electrical and physiological properties
of single neurons, the scientists created a new method and
applied it to the marine snail Aplysia californica, a widely
used animal model. Many Aplysia gene expression signatures
have counterparts in the human genome.
Using this methodology, which was published in the
Journal of Visualized Experiments, the scientists were
then able to focus on neuron R15, a burst firing neuron
that is implicated in the regulation of water content
and reproduction, showing how its response to the
neurotransmitter acetylcholine and gene expression changed
with age.
In a study published in the journal PLOS ONE, the team
described specific changes in burst firing and action potentials
– which play a central role in cell-to-cell communication
– during the aging of R15, suggesting that changes in the
response to acetylcholine during aging has been conserved
during evolution in organisms from snails to mammals.
In another study, published in BMC Genomics, the team
revealed unexpected information about gene expression
during R15 aging.
“Aging brings bidirectional changes in the gene
expression,” said Puthanveettil. “Some gene expression
goes up; some goes down. This was surprising, particularly
that some gene expression went up – something you don’t
necessarily associate with aging.”
The study also noted that more than 1,000 DNA
sequences are regulated differently in mature versus old R15
neurons. Among the specific biological pathways that are
altered are networks involved in: cell signaling and skeletal
muscular system development; cell death and survival;
cellular function maintenance and embryonic development;
and neurological diseases and developmental and hereditary
disorders.
To confirm these findings, Puthanveettil and his

colleagues also isolated and examined three other
Aplysia neurons. Interestingly, while all the neurons
showed changes in gene expression with age, these
changes weren’t necessarily similar among the neurons.
Also the magnitude of change was specific to individual
neurons.
The scientists are now investigating how and why
aging affects neurons differently.
