Abacoa, Page 1 ® COMMUNITY NEWS FEBRUARY 2015 VOL. 16 NO. 2 ArtiGras To Feature Abacoa Resident Who Turned Love Of Underwater Diving And Photography Into A Career For one Abacoa resident when the ArtiGras Fine Arts Festival starts to set up on Central Boulevard and University Drive this Presidents’ Day weekend, it means more than getting ready to have fun strolling through the booths of fine art, it means preparing to participate as one of the 300 talented artists from around the nation who were juried into the show. Photographer Christopher Doherty will be that resident who has turned his love for underwater diving and photography into a career. Doherty travels the world to capture amazing and unique underwater scenes to help tell the story of the ocean and the need for conservation. “I am driven by my determination to capture the beauty of the ocean in my images, so I can educate others in the world to help preserve this ecosystem,” said Doherty who is showing for the third time in ArtiGras. To help bring out colors and depth in his images, Doherty prints on metallic paper bonded with acrylic. The glossy finishes sharpen the images, while the metallic appearance of the paper creates images with exceptional visual interest and depth. You can check out Doherty’s work during the 30th edition of ArtiGras. Festival hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 14; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 15; and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Feb. 16. Along with the art, ArtiGras will also feature live music and artist demonstrations that provide an art experience like no other in South Florida. “One of the things I like about ArtiGras is that it is greatly supported by the local community,” said Doherty. Ti c k e t s t o A r t i G r a s are available at the gate for $10 or you can buy in advance for $8 at the Maltz Jupiter Theater, Roger Dean Stadium, The Gardens Mall the Northern Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce and online at www.artigras.org. As in years past, children 12 and under are admitted free of charge, because they have their own ArtiKids area where they can participate in a wide variety of interactive art activities. Children of all ages can make clay creations, paint pictures and enjoy hours of playing in the fun area or buying art in the Tiny Treasures tent benefiting Quantum House. The ArtiGras Fine Arts Festival is presented by Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center and produced by the Northern Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce. The 30th anniversary of ArtiGras, which benefits school art programs and local charities, has been ranked as one of the top 50 art shows in the nation for many years and expects around 85,000 patrons to attend the show this year.

Hodges Realtor Associate Cobblestone Realty, LLC Abacoa, Page 3 Commissioner’s Update Several Park Projects Slated For 2015 By Commissioner Hal R. Valeche The DuBois Pioneer Home, located atop an Indian midden in DuBois Park was originally built in 1898 and is the oldest house standing on its original site in Palm Beach County. The home is located on top of one of the best studied ancient Native American sites in the state of Florida. Artifacts discovered on site indicate that the property has been utilized by humans for at least the past 6,000 years. In 1971, the house and most of the surrounding property was sold to Palm Beach County. The DuBois Pioneer Home Museum opened in 1977 and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. Unfortunately, the home has been closed to the public for several years while the interior’s first floor and exterior were renovated. The county is working with the Loxahatchee Guild to provide period furnishing, train docents and line up volunteers so this historic structure can be opened once again to the public for tours. The DuBois Park Pineapple Packing House is also located within the park, on the site of the former Kindt Estate property. The packing house was moved down river by barge and relocated to its current site in the late 1890s by Harry DuBois. This structure is one of the oldest remaining wooden structures in Palm Beach County and it was acquired in 2008 by Palm Beach County as part of a waterfront land acquisition. The structure is in substandard condition and is in need of renovation. The county has set aside capital funds to renovate the exterior, including a new foundation and structural repairs. The exterior renovation project is expected to commence in the spring of 2015. The restored house will showcase information on the DuBois Pioneer Homestead, the Jupiter Inlet Indian mound complex and the local flora and fauna of the area. At Jupiter Beach Park, the county recently completed an important pathway and environmental restoration project. Abacoa POA Meeting Notices Official notification is posted via the bulletin board outside the Abacoa POA office as well as the www. Abacom.com Web site. Members may now download Abacoa POA agendas and minutes from our Web site. The project included installation of over 1,400 linear feet of ADA compliant concrete pathways, which provides visitors safe access to the Jupiter Inlet and the ocean. New picnic tables have been installed, exotic vegetation was removed and native trees were planted to provide shade along the new pathways and picnic areas. Improvements continue at Riverbend Park. Plans are underway to construct a new 40’ x 47’ covered area and public restroom. Additional improvements include 101 new asphalt parking spaces, 300 overflow grass parking spaces and new ADA accessible routes and trails. Construction is expected to begin this summer. At the Loxahatchee Battlefield Park, historical markers were installed in 2014 that identify points of history during the Jessup battle with the Seminole Indians. Construction is scheduled to begin this spring on Waterway Park, a new boat launching facility, which is located on the west side of the Intracoastal Waterway, south of Indiantown Road. When complete, Waterway Park will feature 52 boat trailer parking spaces, 24 car parking spaces, three concrete boat ramps, four 40’ long floating staging docks, a restroom, fishing pier and a yacht basin with 170 linear feet of floating staging docks. Construction is expected to take approximately one year to complete. If I can be of assistance to you, please don’t hesitate to contact my office at 355-2201 or by e-mail at hvaleche@ pbcgov.org.

I hope that you are enjoying the Florida winter months. Spring training is right around the corner, and soon Town Center will buzzing with baseball activity. Here’s a brief update on some other exciting things going on around Abacoa and around Town: Abacoa Community Park Work continues on the expansion of Abacoa Community Park (formerly known as South Jupiter Community Park). 134 additional parking spaces will be ready and available in time for spring training, and work on all of the facilities and fields is on-track for completion in July. Once construction is complete, the turf on the athletic fields will need some time to thrive, so public access and use of the fields will not be permitted until August. the project, but the road will remain open to traffic so that residents and visitors can continue to enjoy the beautiful views and the businesses in the Inlet Village area. 2015 is moving quickly forward, and it’s shaping up to be a wonderful year for Jupiter. I hope that you are able to enjoy all of what Jupiter has to offer this season. If you are interested in learning more about the Town, remember to sign up for Jupiter U, our citizens’ academy (see www. jupiter.fl.us/jupiteru). The program runs in March, and includes tours and sessions that help residents learn about their local government, and how it works to provide services and programs that contribute to quality of life in Jupiter. As always, the public is encouraged to keep up with Town Council and CRA Commission business at meetings and online (see www.jupiter.fl.us/agendas). Town Council meets the first and third Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m., and the CRA Commission meets on the second Wednesday of the month at 7 p.m. And remember to visit the Town’s online community calendar for upcoming events at www.jupiter. fl.us/town_calendar. I hope to see you around Town, and as always, feel free to contact me at [email protected]. Bicycle/Transit/Trolley Committee In the January newsletter, Councilor Harrison mentioned forming a Bicycle/Transit/Trolley committee this year. I would also like to see an organized group that could address some of the bicycle and transit issues in Abacoa, to act as a voice for the community and have an impact on future improvements to facilities and provide input for future decisions. Look for more information soon on the formation of this group, or if you know of an existing group that might take this on, please let me know. Institute For Healthy Living You may have noticed some clearing taking place between Central Boulevard and University Drive, west of Corporate Way. In December, the town approved moving forward with a 235,445-square-foot nursing and/or convalescent facility and an assisted living facility. Although the project had been previously approved, it came back before the council because of a change in partnership for the project to include the Scripps Research Institute. Plans for the facility include 129 post-acute and rehabilitative care beds, 70 assisted living beds, 30 memory care beds, 17,545-square-feet of medical office, 5,200-square-feet of research and development, and 3,090-square-feet of office. Central Boulevard Traffic Management During a discussion on traffic management in Town at the regular Town Council meeting on Jan. 6, council discussed some of the issues around safe travel along Central Boulevard. Many have raised concerns regarding this issue, and Town Council and staff are discussing some design strategies that may help to slow speeds and increase safety, particularly at the intersections of University and Dakota Drive. More analysis and study is needed, but there may be a way to curve the roadway in both directions in a pattern that encourages slower speeds (to see a conceptual illustration, visit www.jupiter.fl.us/agendas and view the item on the Jan. 6 Town Council agenda). Palm Beach County, who has jurisdiction over the roadway, is open to discussing options, and the Town and county will work together to identify specific solutions. A1A Inlet Village Roadway Project Work is in full swing on the first phase of the project to reconstruct A1A from Jupiter Beach Road to U.S. 1 in the Town’s Inlet Village area. This important first phase involves putting utilities underground, and installing a master stormwater system. Recently council discussed how to incorporate what is known as “Traditional Neighborhood Design” – or TND – concepts into the existing plans for the second phase of the project, which involves streetscaping, pedestrian facilities and bike lanes. Ultimately we decided to proceed with a modification of the original plans that includes decreased travel lane widths, increased bike lane widths, colored bike lanes, and additional street trees. The overall construction project is expected to take about 18 months to two years. Expect some lane closures throughout Your ad could be here! Call 561-746-3244 to find out how!

If you’ve lost your momentum, I urge you to revisit your dreams and recommit! Remember “Quitters never win and winners never quit!” Since you are a fan of this column, I’m betting that relationships were at the core of your resolutions. Research shows that relationships are the second most common resolution topic nationally behind health. Coincidentally, Relationships are good for your health too, hence all this “LOVE BUSINESS” is even more important then we once thought! As all know, Valentine’s Day can be an anxietyprovoking holiday for men and women everywhere! Single or not, expectations for this day run even HOTTER than New Year’s Eve! To get you through it, here are some tips to make this February better than ever! 1. Be O.K. with your relationship status. Instead of thinking about what you don’t have, think about what you DO have! Concentrate on your good qualities and what is awesome about YOUR life, without a relationship. My research shows that good catches are O.K. on their own, but they prefer romance “with the right person.” A good catch has high self-esteem and is attractive, like you. Likewise, you are not going to date just anyone. This shows you have confidence and you believe in yourself. It would be easy to sequester a mate if you had zero standards! Know that your future romance is coming soon because you are ready and you know what you need to do next. Maybe you were not ready until now? I.E. I see romance in your future! 2. Set Dating Goals Today. This is an easy step that you can make happen immediately, and you will love how empowering this feels! Make one phone call today to a popular friend, spiritual leader, or even a Revolution Dating matchmaker! Tell them you are looking to meet some new faces this year! Most importantly--follow through! Do ONE thing today that will push you out of your comfort zone. This is easy and anyone can do it. You may not have the time to drum up a serious relationship by Valentine’s Day, but you will notice a weight lifted and a sense of control because you are making a true effort to upgrade your social-love life. Your perfect match is not going to show up at your doorstep! You have to take action. Light a fire this month...this is a great time to begin your search. New year: new love. Time for a Love Movement! 3. Think Positively. It’s easy to get down when you see X’s and O’s and hearts and love everywhere. Have no fear, it only means that you have a heart! Instead of focusing on lack, think about the type of relationship you would like to have for your future. Visualize your ideal man or woman, and think about how happy you’ll be when that person comes into your life. Make your list of five must haves you want in your dream mate. I love the power of positivity! It works! Keep your eyes on the prize and it will happen! Let the universe know what you want to happen. Your soul mate may not materialize instantly, but every time someone walks through the red doors of Revolution Dating, they are saying to the world, “I am here because I deserve better than what I am finding online or in any bar! I’m here because I am improving my odds!” The universe then, will react and with the help of my arrow, your dreams shall come true. Some of our clients find love sooner than others, but the odds are increased immediately. Your stock will go the moment you walk in our office! It’s not what you know, it’s who you know...and timing is everything! To make it even easier for you, Revolution Dating conveniently set the February “Meet Your Sweetheart” event for 2/26! By reserving your spot today, you will feel ten times happier when Valentine’s Day arrives! Shine on friends!!! You have much to look forward to as 2015 is going to be a GREAT year!!! With our help, your love life is guaranteed to be revolutionized!

Mission Of The Property Appraiser’s Office By Gary Nikolits, Property Appraiser The mission of the Property Appraiser’s Office is to prepare a fair and equitable tax roll according to Florida statutes, administer all exemptions, maintain up-to-date ownership records and maps, and serve the public in a courteous manner. Each year the property appraiser must determine the market value of all property within Palm Beach County. Market value is typically what a property would sell for in an open and competitive market. By Florida law, only sales transactions that occurred during the previous year can be used to establish values as of Jan. 1 of the current year. For 2015 values, that means we will look at sales that occurred during 2014 to estimate values for the 2015 tax roll. For example, if you sold your residence in 2014, its selling price would be used together with other comparable sales in our analysis of the market. Our deputy appraisers inspect all properties in the county at least once every five years. Between inspections, property values are adjusted annually to reflect recent sales activities in the neighborhood. The filing period for homestead and other exemptions ends on March 1. You can file for exemptions in person at the North County Governmental Center at 3188 PGA Blvd., or online at pbcgov.com/PAPA. Existing homeowner exemptions are renewed automatically by the Property Appraiser’s Office. Renewal cards are mailed Jan. 1 each year to every residential property owner who has an existing homestead exemption. In 2014, the approximate number of exemption renewals was 311,200. The number of new applications taken in 2014 was 20,882. Each year our homestead fraud team investigates and removes exemptions that have been received illegally. In 2014, we recovered $1,440,061 in tax dollars from taxpayers claiming an improper exemption. Ownership records and maps are updated regularly for every property in Palm Beach County. In 2014, the number of properties in Palm Beach County was 630,701. Keeping track of current owners, values and exemptions requires the efforts of a highly skilled staff of dedicated public employees. I am proud that our office is recognized by the International Association of Assessing Officers as having the largest number of certified professional designees of any single jurisdiction in the world.

By O’Neal Bardin Jr. Executive Director Northern Palm Beach County Improvement District Northern Palm Beach County Improvement District is funded by special assessments collected through Palm Beach County’s Tax Collector’s Office as allowed by Florida law. Each acre or part thereof is assessed based on the services provided to the property. Northern is comprised of multiple “Units of Development,” which have varying levels of service and assessments. Assessments (Non-Ad Valorem) require developed and undeveloped acres to be assessed by Northern at the same level. These assessments are not ad valorem taxes or millage taxes that vary depending on the appraised value of the property. The Non-Ad Valorem assessment is an assessment or fee, which is levied on certain properties for the purpose of defraying all or part of the cost of a specific capital improvement or service. This specific capital improvement or service must be deemed to benefit the property being assessed. Sometimes referred to as a special assessment, the property value is not taken into consideration when this assessment is calculated. The process for determining the assessment of benefits and levy of drainage assessments begins when the Northern Board determines that it will proceed with a proposed plan of improvements. At that point, the district engineer is required to prepare a final version of the plan and a report called the “Engineer’s Report.” The report determines the amount of benefits and the amount of damages that will accrue to the land upon implementation. The report also Rainbow Ball 2015 March 14, 2015 Abacoa Golf Club Jupiter, off Donald Ross Rd.

After the engineer’s report and plan have been approved by the Board, Northern is authorized to levy special assessments upon lands to which benefits have been assessed. These special assessments may be used to pay the cost of implementation of the plan or may be used to pay debt service on bonds issued to raise funds for such purpose. In addition to special assessments levied to pay debt service on bonds, the district may levy annual assessments to maintain improvements described in a plan. Each year, Northern levies Non-Ad Valorem assessments on all taxable real property within each of its Units of Development. A Unit of Development is simply a geographical area established by Northern’s Board of Supervisors within which Northern provides construction, operation, and/or maintenance of public infrastructure. Northern levies Non-Ad Valorem maintenance assessments for the annual operation and maintenance of its facilities in each Unit of Development. These facilities include roads, lakes, canals, storm water systems and preserves. In some cases, Northern levies Non-Ad Valorem Debt Service assessments to make principal and interest installments on bonds it has issued in order to fund the construction of public infrastructure within that Unit of Development. Your assessment pays for the operation, maintenance and debt service (if applicable) for only your Unit of Development. Northern’s Maintenance and Debt Service assessments appear in the Non-Ad Valorem section on your property tax bill, which is issued by the tax collector of Palm Beach County on or about Nov. 1 of each year. Northern’s Maintenance and Debt Service assessments are collected by the tax collector of Palm Beach County together with all Northern Notes on page 10 Wednesday Ladies Night Sunday Brunch 11am-3pm Bottomless Mimosas & Bloody Marys $10 All Drinks for the Ladies $3 All Night Long!

Page 10, Abacoa Focus On Nutrition What Works And What Doesn’t Work For Prostate Patients Prolific writer and renowned expert on men’s sexual health, Mark A. Moyad, M.D., MPH, co-director, Men’s Health Program, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, will be among eight esteemed physicians and researchers presenting at the Eighth Annual Ingalls Memorial Prostate Health and Cancer Seminar that will be held on March 7 at the Scripps Research Institute in Jupiter. Based on his extensive studies, Moyad has authored over 130 published medical journal articles, and is the co-author or author of nine books including: Promoting Wellness for Prostate Cancer Patients, Dr. Moyad’s No BS Health Advice: A Step-by-Step Guide to What Works & What’s Worthless and Dr. Moyad’s Guide to Male Sexual Health. Moyad has lectured on prostate, breast and a variety of other cancers in addition to cardiovascular disease and general health in all 50 states and in almost every country. He also consults for most major magazines and television shows devoted to health in the United States. Having received his Master’s in public health from the University of South Florida, Tampa, with a focus on epidemiology and dietary supplements, we are pleased to welcome Moyad back to this region for this well-regarded educational program that draws patients and medical professionals from around the state. Organized by Juno-based Health Information Research Inc. (HIR), a 501(c)(3) Florida nonprofit organization, the Ingalls Memorial seminar was created in honor of Brad Ingalls, a former Jupiter and Boston resident who died from prostate cancer. Frustrated by the lack of information and clinical trials for this disease, he funded the Ingalls Foundation to support medical research and programs to increase awareness and education of prostate cancer. HIR Executive Director David S. Most, Ph.D., who worked closely with Ingalls during his fight against prostate cancer, carries on his passion for educating patients. Through his continuous study of research papers, attendance at professional conferences and involvement in national prostate groups Most stays current with the leading-edge work in the field and assembles a prestigious panel of physicians and scientists each year to participate in the local event. Among the outstanding presenters for the Eighth Annual Ingalls Seminar are Faina Shtern, M.D., president and CEO, AdMeTech Foundation, Boston, who will discuss advances in diagnostics utilizing MRI techniques with special contrast enhancing methods. The new MRI imaging tools improve the accuracy of detection and reduce risks from surgical procedures. Michael P. O’Leary, M.D., MPH, professor of surgery, Harvard Medical School, senior urologic surgeon, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, will present Benign and Inflammatory Diseases of the Prostate, a familiar condition to many men of a certain age. Board certified in urology, O’Leary has been identified as one of America’s Top Urology Doctors by Castle Connolly and was named a top urologist by Boston Magazine. The use and effectiveness of new genomic-based screens will be addressed by two speakers.

You are entitled to a 4 percent discount on Northern’s Non-Ad Valorem assessments, other NonAd Valorem assessments and your Ad Valorem taxes if you pay your property tax bill in November. Each year, Northern prepares a budget for the upcoming fiscal year (Oct. 1 to Sept. 30). The preliminary budget is proposed by the staff and presented to property owners, homeowners, property managers, residents and Northern’s Board at public meetings. The property owners have the opportunity during these meetings to ask questions about the proposed budget and to make requests for budget modifications. The final decisions regarding the budget are made by the Board of Supervisors. The Board carefully considers the public comments/ requests when approving the final budget. When adopted, the budget becomes the official financial plan of Northern’s departments. Consequently, this makes preparation of the budget one of the most important duties performed each year. University of Miami Miller School of Medicine will review studies from the New Biomarker Prostate-4K Score Test. He will be followed by Jason Alter, Ph.D., clinical genomics affairs lead, Genome DxBiosciences, San Diego, who will explain the use of Decipher® in post surgical clinical care. Understanding your options and potential next steps is critical to making the best possible choice. If you have been diagnosed with prostate cancer and are considering alternatives, Jason A. Efstathiou, M.D., DPhil, radiation oncologist and associate professor, Massachusetts Jason Alter, Ph.D Jason Efstathiou, M.D. Mark Moyad, M.D. General Hospital, Boston, will discuss important factors related to the Proton Beam and IMRT radiotherapy.

If you haven’t tried a counterbalanced putter then come and see us. And take the 10-foot challenge again. You’ll be amazed at the result. In simple terms, a heavier grip is used to counterbalance a heavier head. This makes it much more difficult for your hands to take over the putting stroke. It means you’ll have a more stable, pendulum-like stroke. Ever experienced those holes in golf when it feels like you’ve just taken two steps backward and nothing will come out of the middle? No matter how good or inexperienced you are, it’s probably something gone wrong in your setup. You’ll notice counterbalanced putters come in a greater range of shaft lengths. There’s a little wrinkle to gaining the maximum benefit from a counterbalanced putter. You probably don’t want to grip the putter at the very end of the handle. So take your time getting the length of shaft that will allow you to grip down a little and to still get into a good posture, setup and alignment. If you want to improve your conversion rate in the 6 to 20 foot range, then come through and chat with us. It might be as simple as counterbalance technology. It could be something even simpler, like lining up your forearms. And we have a range of drills and tips to help you. Contact us. Despite all that has been written on the subject, we find a lot of golfers struggling on the wrong side of 85 shots who have two very basic faults in their setup. They are gripping the club incorrectly and/or are not hinging properly at the hips. If your score is stuck in the 90’s, let’s spend a very worthwhile 30 – 40 minutes getting these basics right.

In the new study, to be published in the February 2015 print edition of the Journal Molecular Pharmacology, the scientists showed that the compound, known as SR1848, reduces the activity and expression of the cancer-related protein called “liver receptor homolog-1” or LRH-1. “Our study shows that SR1848 removes LRH1 from DNA, shutting down expression of LRH-1 target genes, and halts cell proliferation,” said Patrick Griffin, chair of the TSRI Department of Molecular Therapeutics and director of the Translational Research Institute at Scripps Florida. “It’s a compound that appears to be a promising chemical scaffold for fighting tumors that are nonresponsive to standard therapies.” LRH1 plays a crucial role in breast cancer through its regulation of genes involved in hormone synthesis and cholesterol metabolism – also key risk factors in cardiovascular disease. LRH-1 has also been implicated as a tumor promoter in intestinal and pancreatic cancer. Overexpression of LRH-1 has been shown to promote invasiveness and metastasis, the usually lethal spread of the disease. “LRH-1 has been implicated in the proliferation and metastasis of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancers and Patrick Griffin is chair of The the more difficult S c r i p p s R e s e a rc h I n s t i t u t e to treat estrogen Department of Molecular r e c e p t o r- n e g a t i v e Therapeutics and director of the breast cancers,” said Translational Research Institute at Research Associate Scripps Florida. Alex Corzo, the first author of the study. “This suggests that repressing LRH-1 could be useful in treating the more aggressive triple-negative breast cancer subtype where therapies are currently so limited.” In fact, the study showed that levels of LHR-1 in a cell’s nucleus began to diminish four hours after treatment with SR1848, and the compound repressed specific target genes as early as two hours after administration. Griffin noted that SR1848 also appears attractive as a potential therapeutic because of its lack of impact on cells that do not express LRH1, which could mean few potential side effects. “It’s a novel mechanism that needs more study,” he said. In addition to Griffin and Corzo, other authors of the study, “Antiproliferation Activity of a Small Molecule Repressor of Liver Receptor Homolog 1s,” are Yelenis Mari, Mi Ra Chang, Tanya Khan, Dana Kuruvilla, Philippe Nuhant, Naresh Kumar, Graham M. West, Derek R. Duckett and William R. Roush of TSRI. See http://molpharm.aspetjournals.org/ content/87/2/296.full.

If you heard girls screaming “Nah, nah, nah, na-na-na nah, bushka, bushka!,” then you know the Jupiter Seahawks of the Jupiter Tequesta Athletic Association (“JTAA”). For those of you who don’t, welcome to Florida’s largest Fast Pitch Softball Program. Hard work pays off. For this team of 7 and 8 year old Jupiter Seahawk girls, they really didn’t know what they were getting involved in. They liked running, hitting and throwing. They liked the girls on their team and their coaches seemed nice, although stern at times. They loved singing songs and cheering for each other. It is a story of many fast pitch softball teams. It is a story of hard work, sacrifice and a commitment for perfection. Not many teams in any sport play their first 31 games without a win. Not many teams can stay together that long to get to their 31st loss. The parents can’t take the pain of loss and failure. Who wants to watch their kid lose, cry or look silly? For many parents and kids of competitive sports, they may blame the coaches. They ask many questions. How can the other teams be that much better? Why are we losing? Should we go play elsewhere? Yes, everyone loves a winner. For the Jupiter Seahawks, the parents and kids asked how they could get better. What are our strengths? What are our weaknesses? What do we need to do? Who can help us? After the 23rd consecutive loss, a two-week total of losing eight games by a total of 1116, and a leap of faith, the coaches and parents agreed it was time to seek professional help. The rest was history! With the professional assistance of Rally Sports and Rhino Softball, a belief from the parents, and a commitment for perfection from 7 and 8 year olds like you have never seen, the Jupiter Seahawks began a climb into relevance. After eight more losses, they recorded their first win. After their first win, they lost four more and on a day when you thought the end was near, they blossomed. Rallying for three straight, last inning walk-off wins, the Jupiter Seahawks placed third at the Class B State 8u Championship! What’s A Garden Tower? By Adele Holcomb If you’ve been by the Abacoa Community Garden lately, you may have noticed a tower of plants near the northeast corner – that’s our new Garden Tower, which was generously donated! Basically it’s a big white barrel with plant-filled pockets all around it. The best part is the tube down the center which houses a colony of red wiggler worms. Those little guys turn kitchen scraps into organic fertilizer, which they then distribute throughout the barrel. We are experimenting with assorted plants in this first effort, and so far most are thriving: mustard greens, kale, spinach, broccoli, cabbage, cucumber, cantaloupe, mint, parsley and even a couple of strawberry plants. A tower like this would be a great addition to anyone’s patio, where minimal effort would produce a constant supply of fresh greens and herbs in a small space. Stop by and see what you think! The garden is located at 1022 Community Drive on the grounds of the LifeSong Church. For information about membership, go to http://www.abacoa.com and click on Clubs/Groups. You know it is special when the parents from the other teams you beat are coming over and congratulating you and telling you they were rooting for you. Since that fateful day in July, the team has since gone on to win the Jupiter Fall Classic. The Jupiter Fall Classic is a 17-year fall league hosted by the Jupiter Seahawks at Jupiter Community Park. The Jupiter Fall Classic hosts teams from Palm Beach County, the Treasure Coast, Okeechobee and Broward County. This spring 200-plus girls from Jupiter will continue the tradition of singing “Nah, nah, nah, na-na-na nah, bushka, bushka!” up at Jupiter Community Park. Recreation practices for girl’s ages 4 to 16 begin the end of January and the season continues through April. Register today at jtaa.org. Games are on Saturday mornings starting the third week of February and everyone is welcome. This year the Jupiter Seahawks of the JTAA will be rolling out a new logo. The next time you see someone wearing the Seahawk’s logo, whether it be the old or new logo, reach out your hand and say hi.

By Dr. Higham and Dr. Sauchelli Fad diets may help individuals shed unwanted pounds, but they can also harm teeth by causing enamel erosion, cavities and bad breath. Your Jupiter family dentists, Dr. Higham and Dr. Sauchelli discuss some of the latest fad diets and their negative effects on dental health. The Milkshake Diet It is difficult to find a smoothie or milkshake that does not contain a fair amount of sugar. This sugar feeds bacteria in our mouth, and the bacteria then produces an acid that attacks and erodes enamel. This can create a hole in our enamel that is called a cavity. In addition, the large amount of sugar leads to spiking and crashing of insulin levels within the body. This can gradually disturb the structure of the collagen in our body. Collagen fibers help to stabilize and support our teeth. If you decide to try this diet, Dr. Higham and Dr. Sauchelli suggest selecting smoothies or milkshakes with low sugar content and rinsing your mouth with water after drinking a smoothie. Meal Replacement Diet These diets provide pre-made low calorie meals so that the dieter does not need to worry about calculating the calorie content. However, these meals often reduce fat but inject additional salt and sugar to maintain flavor. This increase in sugar can lead to the formation of cavities. Dr. Higham and Dr. Sauchelli believe that home-cooked meals are the healthiest option for our overall health and dental health. Low-Carb/High Protein Diets Most of us are familiar with the Atkins diet and its many variations. For example, the 5:2 diet involves eating high protein and low-carb foods followed by a few “fast days” which gives the body an opportunity to break down the fat. These kinds of diets often bring about bad breath that cannot be corrected by brushing and flossing. Juice Cleanses Juice cleanses possess a harmfully high sugar content that can lead to cavities and gum disease. Additionally, the high acid content of fruit juices wears down enamel and can You went to the Golden Anvil! Yes - Yes - Yes! G.A. I’ll be your Valentine!

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends 6 months old as the best time to start your infant on solid foods. Single-grain infant cereal is a good first supplemental food because it supplies additional calories and iron. Rice cereal is recommended because it’s least likely to cause an allergic reaction. Infant cereals can be prepared by adding breast milk, infant formula or water. The consistency should start off thin and can be made thicker over time. Cereal should not be added to a bottle because your baby could choke. There is the exception for when this is recommended by your pediatrician as a treatment for gastro esophageal reflux. Other supplemental foods to try are single ingredient pureed foods, such as vegetables, fruits and meats. Pureed foods should not contain additives like salt or sugar. If you make your own baby food, be aware that home-prepared spinach, beets, green beans, squash and carrots are not good choices during early infancy as they may contain large amounts of nitrates. Peas, corn and sweet potatoes are better choices for home-prepared baby foods. New foods should always be introduced one at a time, every few days, to determine if the child has an allergic reaction. Symptoms of a food allergy include: hives, rash, facial swelling, vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, wheezing, difficulty breathing, weakness or pale skin. You should consult with your child’s pediatrician if any of these symptoms occur. Infants may be at high risk for developing an allergic reaction if one parent or sibling has a food allergy. If the infant has no signs of allergy, including eczema, with the initial foods, then additional foods can be introduced gradually. As your child gains the ability to feed themselves, usually around 9 months, you can offer a greater variety of adult foods that are soft, easy to swallow, and cut into small pieces, including banana, cookies, crackers, cooked egg yolks, pasta, chicken, peas and potatoes. “Do not force your baby to eat if she cries or turns away when you feed new foods,” explains pediatrician Alexandria Niewiadomski-Ayala, M.D. of Children’s Physicians in Jupiter. “Continue with breastfeeding or bottle-feeding for a time before trying again.” Be sure to offer a good variety of foods that are rich in nutrients and discuss with your pediatrician any questions about nutrition or concerns on whether your child is eating too much or too little. The Children’s Physicians is a skilled team of pediatricians and nurse practitioners providing comprehensive medical care to infants, children and adolescents located at 270 South Central Blvd. Suite 104, Jupiter.

This pioneering compendium, the first volume of annotated documents to focus on the history of Lincoln’s image, influence, and reputation among American Jews— considers how Lincoln acquired his exceptional status and how, over the past century and a half, this fascinating relationship has evolved.

We all have read the statistics about divorce rates and I am sure many of you have experienced heartache and may be part of the statistics. I am certainly no expert on how to keep love alive but as we near our 10year anniversary there are certain things I know for sure have contributed to our happy marriage. One of my first love lessons occurred during a season of loss. Just before our wedding and a day before my birthday, my husband to be, lost his father after a long battle with leukemia. It was a sad time for everyone. I wanted to comfort my husband and during that process learned a profound truth that we still rely upon to this day. We are in this relationship together, we have each other’s back and working as a team is better than going it alone. Difficulties either drive you apart or bind you together. One of the most prolific pieces of advice we received before we were married centered on our vows. A dear friend said, “You know there will always be a worse, a poorer and a sicker.” As an optimist I really had not thought of the opposite side to better, richer and healthier until that poignant reminder. During our engagement, I wrote a love letter to my husband recounting all the things I loved about him. My husband did the same, we still have the letters and the list we created with simple adjectives that described our most cherished qualities. Once a year, we review our lists which helps us both remember why we fell in love. This reflection exercise takes us back to the beginning and softens our hearts toward one another. Bitterness struggles to exist when there is no fertile ground. Love and compliments are lethal weapons to deploy against anger. Right after we married, we signed up for a couple’s weekend. Over the course of the weekend we learned a great deal about each other and how to manage conflict lovingly. The Weekend To Remember conference provided us with tools that we keep in our arsenal and use when needed. One of the biggest Ah Ha moments for me was pertaining to self-centeredness. They talked about how so many people underestimate selfishness and how it can destroy your relationship. Selfishness leads to a critical spirit, which leads to disappointment, bitterness and finally isolation. One way to counteract going down the rabbit hole is to concentrate on your spouse’s positive traits. Once you shift your focus off your spouse and on to yourself, you can often catch bitterness before it takes over. When you start to become critical of your spouse, inevitably there is something within you that needs to change. Turning the microscope of perfectionism and cynicism inward creates a shift in understanding differences along with a commitment to resolve them in a mature way. There is no secret formula or magic pill that creates everlasting love. If you opened my husband’s wallet today, you would find a tattered and torn piece of paper that contains his handwritten heart felt, wedding vows. Here is an excerpt, “I devote myself to creating a marriage of affection, love, laughter, encouragement and understanding.” Those are not just empty words, staying in love requires a great deal of work and commitment. We plan to stay the course. As we approach Valentine’s Day, think about one small thing you can do to compliment your partner and breathe new life and love into your relationship.

I have been eating it for years and will continue to enjoy good chicken parmesan. But, that is the key. I said, good! Many times when I try to make it the chicken is overdone and the breading is soggy or the mozzarella cheese just sits on the chicken and gets rubbery. I would like to share a recipe with you that I enjoyed recently. Now pay attention, there are some secrets that might make this the best chicken parmesan ever. First, prepare your mom’s favorite tomato sauce. Begin with a one-half inch thick chicken breast and salt them. This acts like a brining. After about 20 minutes pat the breast dry and prepare the breading for the chicken. In a shallow bowl mix all-purpose flour with an egg until it comes to a runny paste. In another bowl mix panko breadcrumbs with grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder and pepper. There should be more parmesan then breadcrumbs. Dip the chicken in the egg and flour, then coat the breasts with the panko and parmesan mixture. Make sure the panko and parmesan fully covers the chicken. Prepare to fry the chicken in hot vegetable oil for two minutes on each side. Remove the cutlets from the frying pan and drain them on paper towels. The cheese that you will use as a topping for the cutlets is a mix of mozzarella and fontina. (Fontina cheese is rich and creamy with a nutty flavor). Cover the cutlet completely with the cheese. Place cutlet in broiler and watch the cheese melt. When melted, perfectly plate cutlet on a bed of linguini, top with a small amount of tomato sauce and fresh basil. Since celebrating this new recipe, you might as well drink a nice Brunello di Montalcino to compliment this meal. Brunello is made from the Sangiovese grape. It has aromas and flavors of blackberry, black cherry, black raspberry and chocolate and makes a great pairing for this chicken recipe. Enjoy! Glenn Astrological Insights By Carole Lynn Grant We can break through the pattern of resistance in most areas of our lives. Quit rushing around; find the answers you’re seeking in your home. Aries (March 31 to April 20) Like a Phoenix, you can now rise out of the ashes of limitation. This is your time to lead and be heard. Leave spaces in your schedule for unexpected events. Taurus (April 21 to May 21) There is a possible move for you, because you will desire to be more flexible and listen to the ideas of others. Your spiritual self will blossom. Pay attention to taxes. Gemini (May 22 to June 21) Expect to be on the road a lot. You will have the greatest opportunity to meet people of like mind. Step into your vision of yourself. Pamper partners or family members. Cancer (June 22 to July 23) Trust your hunches, but don’t believe everything that you are hearing. You can double your resources by staying clear of people who need to be rescued. Rejuvenate your system. Leo (July 24 to August 23) Escape! You may be planning a trip away from confusion or people who are stuck. Fresh exciting ideas come to you naturally. There can be success with people who come from foreign countries. Virgo (August 24 to September 23) Remember the good times and travel to new adventures. Other people will have to hold down the fort this month. Help others to achieve their goals and magical things will happen to you. Libra (September 24 to October 23) A new member of your family or business may be on the way to you. Listen to your partners’ fabulous ideas, but maintain your own balance. Consider photo journaling or writing a novel. Scorpio (October 24 to November 22) Take care of the remnants of the past few years of uncompleted projects. Have your bags packed; surprising new doors to fulfillment can open. Maintain your resources; take care of your teeth. Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21) Conversation. You have a lot to say about how to be happy and focused in the world. Saturn just entered your Sign. It will slow you down a bit, enough to write your book or tell your story. Capricorn (December 22 to January 20) Money comes with attachments. Join up with others to wildly prosper. You must take care of details or physical needs. You are about to blaze a brand new trail. Get happy and get ready. Aquarius (January 21 to February 19) Make the transition, over time you can graciously step into another person’s shoes. Your focus is awesome and your spirit is fun to be around. Expect lots of communications. Pisces (February 20 to March 23) Your future is calling you, but something from your past could still be holding on. On the other hand, people who ignored you before can now beg for your company. Choose wisely where you will go. Check out Carole’s new Web site: www.carolelynngrant. com.
