Abacoa Youth Starts Volunteer Web Site
Hello Abacoa
neighbors, my
name is Renee,
and I am 15 years
old. I would like to
invite you to check
out my new Web site for people looking for volunteering
opportunities around Palm Beach County. Community Angel
Network (CAN) is a diverse and growing directory that
currently includes over 50 local nonprofit organizations that
are in need of your help. Whether you’re a teen looking for
ways to earn volunteer hours to graduate from high school,
or just someone who wants to help make a difference in the
community, you’ll be able to quickly and easily find the right
place to give your service to.
In addition to the volunteer directory, CAN will be hosting
our own monthly projects for a cause. However, this isn’t
just your average food or clothing drive; CAN strives to
involve thoughtfulness and creativity in all of the projects
that we do. Last month, we collected gently used clothing
and accessories to bring to foster care children around Palm
Beach County. The kids were able to “shop” for the clothing
in a unique experience complete with volunteer “personal
assistants” to aid them in their shopping. Our August
project will benefit senior citizens in the Jupiter area. More
information can be found on our Web site at www.pbccan.
org.
From a young age, I have always held an appreciation for
community service. In the past four years, I have dedicated
over 600 hours of my time to helping various organizations.
I know from experience that finding places to volunteer can
be time-consuming and sometimes challenging, so I decided
to start something to help potential volunteers easily find
places that need their service.
If you have an idea for a project or feedback on my Web
site, please contact me at [email protected]. I look forward
to hearing from you. Together, we CAN make a difference.
FAU’s Lifelong Learning Society
Announces Fall 2014 Course Schedule
Florida Atlantic University has announced the Lifelong
Learning Society Jupiter course offerings for the fall 2014
semester, which begins Monday, Oct. 13.
Taught by FAU professors and distinguished guest
lecturers, course offerings include such varied subjects as
foreign policy, political science, film, music, art history and
literature. The Lifelong Learning Society was established
to provide adults of all ages the opportunity to enrich their
lives through noncredit, university-level courses with no
homework or tests.
Fall one-time lectures and courses take place in the
Lifelong Learning Society complex, 5353 Parkside Drive,
in Jupiter, and include:
• “The Roosevelt Administration and the Holocaust,”
taught by Ralph Nurnberger, Ph.D., a professor of
international relations at Georgetown University, will review
many of the rationales behind decisions that Roosevelt made
in response to the Holocaust.
• “U.S. National Security, Islamism and Globalized
Conflicts,” taught by Robert Rabil, Ph.D., a professor
of political science at FAU. This eight-week course will
analyze the security issues in the context of their local and
international dimensions, seeking to shed light on important
matters often misconceived in foreign diplomacy.
• “Poe’s Raven,” taught by Taylor Hagood, Ph.D., an
associate professor of American Literature at FAU. This
one-time lecture will examine Edgar Allan Poe’s life and
historical and artistic moment via the poem The Raven. It
will culminate with a reading in the spirit of Poe’s own public
rendering of it.
• “The Great Conductors: From Arturo Toscanini
to Daniel Barenboim,” taught by Paul Offenkrantz, a
professional singer who has performed on the stage of the
Metropolitan Opera, pursued graduate studies at the Yale
School of Music and was ordained by the Hebrew Union
College. This course will analyze what makes a great
conductor? How does a conductor get a group of over 100
instrumentalists to implement his vision of the music? Why
do some conductors jump up and down, while others barely
move? In addition, the course will review the world’s most
famous conductors.
• “Understanding Financial Markets: A Simplified Guide
to Portfolio Investors,” taught by Mark Tomass, Ph.D.,
an adjunct instructor at Harvard University. This course
makes complicated financial markets comprehensible to
nonspecialists. It will explain how the value of the domestic
currency is determined in international currency markets and
how that in turn determines the value of international assets.
• “Charmed Circles in the Arts: Glamour, Politics
and High Society,” taught by Terryl Lawrence, Ed.D., an
instructor at FAU and the Digital Media Arts College. This
course will target specific personalities of the 20th century,
such as Walter and Matilda Gray, Sir Joshua Reynolds and
Lewis Carroll. Lawrence will
discuss the methods that led
to their unique and original
results for that time.

Society, or to receive a

APOA Update
Executive Director News
The Abacoa Town Center
Dinner & a Show series at
the Abacoa Amphitheater
has been so successful that
it has been continued over
the summer. The turnout
for the Saturday, July 27,
Eagles Tribute Band concert
was one more example of
how entertaining the series
is. The band wowed the
audience with Eagles’ hits.
The diversity of age groups added to the fun. The concert
series definitely gives multiple generations common ground.
There are two more concerts planned for the series.
The next one is set for Saturday, August 23, showcasing a
Billy Joel Tribute Concert. It will be followed on Saturday,
September 20, starring a Bruce Springsteen Tribute Concert.
The concerts start at 7:30 PM, leaving plenty of time to set
up your chair, and then enjoy dinner at one of the restaurants
in Abacoa Town Center. There is something to appeal to any
taste from French to Italian to Cuban, from a Caribbean vibe
to a sports bar to craft beers and hot dogs.
Don’t miss out on the entertainment. An evening with
good food, wonderful music under the stars, right in our own
neighborhood, who could ask for more?

Fire-Rescue FAST Facts
‘Hazards Of Hurricane Preparedness’
Last month we discussed several
sources of hurricane information
available to us here in South Florida
that included information on a
downloadable annual Hurricane
Guide in PDF format. www.pbcgov.
com/dem/hurricane
We also discussed what our homeowners and residents
must be aware of regarding the hazards of hurricane
preparedness including what not to do during the post storm
period of a hurricane event. This addition of Fire Rescue
Fast Facts will illustrate what these hazards are and what
we can do to keep our people safe. Let’s begin.
What outside items pose a risk for becoming wind-born
projectiles?
Of course there are several factors related to what
debris can become a wind-born projectile outside the home,
however a rule of thumb is to remove loose yard furniture,
garden hoses, potted plant materials, loose rocks and
garden statues from your landscaped areas. Garbage pails,
recycling bins, umbrellas and barbecue grills are some of
the obvious choices, but in addition to these loose backyard
patio items, it’s important to not overlook any miscellaneous
storage beside the home such as ladders, elevated landscape
lighting, satellite dishes, clotheslines and swing sets.
Basically, anything that can become part of the storm
debris track, which may include some loose siding, fence
material or even poorly fastened gutters. In these cases, it’s
more important to fasten down those structural components
in lieu of attempting to remove them.
What are the top causes of injury preceding or following
the landfall of a hurricane?
Each year, over 40,000 people are treated in hospital
emergency departments from injuries caused by the use
of chain saws. Injuries associated with hurricane shutter
installation and plywood coverings rank at the top of South
Florida’s list of most common storm related injuries. Some of
these include: slips, trips, falls, sprains and strains. Most of
these types of injuries involve ladder usage or overextending
the heights of climbing equipment to reach high out of
range areas such as the removal of rooftop equipment or
shutter installation to the second floor windows. Minor
cuts and lacerations
are quite common
with trauma
related injuries
especially with
shutter installation
however, during the
post storm period,

injuries with chainsaws
become much more
frequent.
It is generally understood
that part of any Hurricane
Preparedness Kit should
include: first-aid items,
however, don’t discount the need for any safety equipment
that may be needed during the post-storm period. Items such
as working gloves, eye protection, two cycle oil, proper fuel
storage containers, extra chains, blades or sparkplugs for
your cutting equipment, extension cords, GFCI’s, and basic
tools that may be needed for fastening and disassembling
items of concern will all help to prevent injury when faced
with a task and all the stores are closed. Sadly to say, the
stress of an impending storm causes many people to rush
and short cut safety measures that place them and their
families at risk. One of these areas of complacency involves
the operation and use of gas powered portable generators.
What do I need to know if I own and plan to use a
portable generator for my home during the post-storm
power outage?
The top items of concern
with owning portable
generators are the following:
• Risk of electrocution
• Flash fires from hot
fueling operations
• Circuit overload which
places the home at risk for
fire • “Open neutral” or improper hook-up to the breaker
panel known as a “back-feed” condition
• See FPL Safety Video:
http://youtu.be/fljZ73M72OQ
• Carbon monoxide poisonings from dangerous
generator exhaust
• See PDF from US Fire Administration on Generator
Safety
http://www.usfa.fema.gov/downloads/pdf/focus/feb_2012_
generators.pdf
Until next time, please share this information with your
friends, family and neighbors and, most of all ... take care
of each other.

Ask Dr. G …
My father was in
hospice and I am very
grateful for all they did
for him and my family.
Now that it’s been more
than a year, I want to give
back but I don’t know if
it’s right for me. I’ve heard
great things from other
volunteers but isn’t it sad?
(Reader Submitted)
Many times those who
work at a hospice will hear: “I don’t know how you do
it, isn’t it depressing to work at hospice?” Many people
are surprised to learn that it is quite the contrary. Working
and volunteering with hospice is inspirational.
For patients in hospice care and their families, life
focuses on what’s important – family, friends, love.
Volunteers are privileged to be part of that journey. Many
volunteers come away transformed by the lessons they
derive from our patients sharing a lifetime of experience.
A quote from one of our vigil volunteers who has been
volunteering for more than 20 years says it best:
“It is an honor to share these special moments with
patients and families. As we offer love, acceptance and
acknowledgment, we can help families share memories
and express the things they have yet to say. We help them
bridge this sacred space without fear or loneliness. It was
an exhilarating and loving experience to bring families a
sense of peace and unity at the time of transcendence. It
has been the most gratifying experience of my life.”
In hospice, each and every moment counts. Bearing
witness to that not only makes a difference in the lives of
patients and families, it is also can be a rewarding experience
for others. Most of our volunteers express that they get much
more from their service than they could ever give.
My advice to you is to give it a try. Your desire to pay
it forward is wonderful and I encourage you to explore it.
There are many ways to give of your time through patient
visits, administrative opportunities, resale shop, special
events or professional volunteering, such as nurses and
licensed massage therapists. Volunteers are a big part of
hospice, you will make such a difference in the lives of
families in our community.

Abacoa Golf Club
Greetings From
Warren
What’s Your Move To Improve?
1. You’d be surprised at how easy it is to add
yards to your tee shots.
Next time you’ve hit one of your regular tee
shots, walk 20 yards further down the fairway.
It’s a different game isn’t it?
2. Swing on plane and the game of golf is
easier. Takes a little work, but it’s worth it.
Any approach shot with a #6 or greater tests
your ability to swing on plane. Those that swing off plane
suffer with poor consistency and accuracy.
3. Why waste a good tee shot? Improve rhythm and
distance control and scare your partners.
Hit your shots closer from 140 yards in and you’ll give
yourself more opportunities for a birdie. You don’t need to
swing hard. You need control.
4. Most golfers can drop at least five shots off their
handicap by improving their short game.
The quickest way to go from 85 to 77, is to sharpen your
ability from 40 yards in. The average golfer will face this
shot 15 times in a round.
5. If you averaged 35 – 37 putts per round what would
your score be?
On the green most golfers set up to miss! Most golfers
struggle to control distance. Most golfers read greens poorly.
Most golfers can overcome all of these challenges.

Roger Dean Stadium Round-Up
Miami’s Top Talent Not Far Removed From Jupiter
By Zac Vierra
After a rebuilding year for Miami in 2013, the 2014
season has proven that the Marlins are headed in the right
direction. Although this year’s Fish might not return to the
postseason for the first time since winning the World Series
in 2003, the future is bright with an array of young talent,
most of which played in Jupiter in 2012.
It is crazy to think that just two years ago Christian
Yelich and Marcell Ozuna were helping lead the Jupiter
Hammerheads to a spot in the Florida State League Playoffs.
Now the duo is a part of baseball’s most promising young
outfield, which shouldn’t come as a surprise after their
performances in Jupiter.
Ozuna’s 2012 campaign was one to remember. He set
Hammerheads records for home runs (24), RBI (95) and
tied the mark for the most runs scored in club history (89).

Ozuna was also named a FSL
All-Star and finished first in
the league in runs, home runs,
RBI and total bases.
Not only did Ozuna have a
terrific offensive season with
Jupiter, he was outstanding
with his glove as well. He
won the Rawlings Minor
League Gold Glove Award
for right field, the only right
fielder in all of Minor League
Baseball to receive the award
in ’12. Since his jump to the
big leagues, Ozuna has played
primarily centerfield because

of Giancarlo Stanton’s presence in right.
Yellich also had a fantastic 2012 and was named the
Marlins’ Minor League Player of the Year for the second
straight season. He joined Ozuna on the FSL All-Star Team
and led the league in slugging (.519), was second in batting
average (.330) and on-base percentage (.404), and was third
in runs (76).
Yelich batted leadoff in just 20 of the 106 games he played
with Jupiter in 2012 but he hit .390 when he was batting first.
It was a sign of things to come as Yelich has settled into the
leadoff role for the big club.
Ozuna and Yelich were not the only members of the 2012
Hammerheads to have found success with the Fish. Jose
Fernandez started 11 games for Jupiter in the second half of
2012 and went 7-1 with a 1.96 ERA.
After Fernandez pitched for the Sharks in the playoffs,
his next appearance would come in a Miami uniform as he
burst on to the scene in 2013 winning the NL Rookie of the
Year Award. Unfortunately Fernandez was limited to just
eight starts this season after he had to undergo Tommy John
surgery keeping him out until sometime in 2015.
Fernandez’s 2012 catcher J.T. Realmuto saw his first
big league action in 2014 when starting backstop Jarrod
Saltalamacchia was placed on the disabled list due to a
concussion. Realmuto appeared in seven games for the Fish
in June and had quite the Major League debut on June 5 going
2-for-4 with three RBI.
Members of the 2012 Hammerheads have not been the
only ones to make an impact with Miami this season. A pair
of pitchers from the 2013 squad have each made a handful
of starts for the Fish this year. Both Anthony DeSclafani and
Andrew Heaney, who were each promoted to Jacksonville
after strong starts with Jupiter in ’13, made their big league
debuts for the Marlins in 2014.
The question remains which member of the 2014
Hammerheads will be the first to suit up for the Marlins.
Despite not having the best year record-wise, Jupiter has
had plenty of talent come through Roger Dean Stadium and
many players have been promoted throughout the season.
Two players, catcher Austin Barnes and relief pitcher
Joseph O’Gara were named FSL All-Stars this season but
could not participate due to their call up. Barnes, who hit
.317 with Jupiter, might be blocked at the big league level by
Saltalamacchia and in the future Realmuto. O’Gara, who was
the closer when he was with the Sharks, has been as high as
Triple-A this season and might be able to make the jump first.
Other arms including Jheyson Manzueta, who has had
more success with Double-A Jacksonville than Jupiter, and
southpaw Chipper Smith, who was dominate out of the
bullpen with the Hammerheads and has since been converted
to a starter with Jacksonville, are also candidates to make it
to the big leagues in the near future.
It can be hard to predict the next Hammerhead to make
an impact but as Ozuna and Yellich have shown, sometimes
it doesn’t take long for a recent Shark to make a big splash
in the majors.

Commissioner’s Update
More Outdoor Recreational Opportunities Are On The Way
By Commissioner Hal
R. Valeche
I’m pleased to announce
that Palm Beach County will
be opening two additional
outdoor recreational
opportunities in the Jupiter
area in the next two months.
In August, Phase One of
the Pântano Trail will open to
the public. This section of the
trail extends 5.6 miles from
Palm Beach County’s Riverbend Park in Jupiter southwest
through the Loxahatchee Slough Natural Area on the C-18
canal bank. Elevated above the adjacent Loxahatchee Slough
Natural Area, the Pântano Trail consists of a 10-foot wide shell
rock surface flanked by a broad grassy shoulder. Improvements
include an accessible surface for cyclists and hikers; a shade
shelter; bike racks; informational kiosks and signage. The
trail will be open daily from sunrise to sunset. The Pântano
Trail is part of the Northeast Everglades Natural Area and
the improved portion of the trail offers multi-user access to
two conservation lands and visitor facilities: Riverbend Park
and the Loxahatchee Slough Natural Area. Future phases of
this project will extend the trail to the Hungryland Slough
Natural Area and then westward to the J.W. Corbett Wildlife
Management Area. The county recently applied for two
grants through the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection’s Office of Greenways and Trails that could provide
funding to help pay for the acquisition of land west of the
recently completed trail segment, contingent upon successful
negotiations with the landowners. The selection of grant
recipients is expected to be completed by the end of July.
Partners in this project include the Palm Beach County
Environmental Resources Management, the Palm Beach
County Parks and Recreation Department, the South Florida
Water Management District, the Palm Beach Metropolitan
Planning Organization and the Florida Department of
Transportation.
In September, the North Jupiter Flatwoods Natural Area
will open to the public. It is 160 acres in size and is located at
the north end of the Limestone Creek community. The natural
area lies adjacent to the Jupiter Community Park where parking
is available at the north end and a pedestrian bridge allows

World Class Olive Oil
Comes To Jupiter
While the new Harbourside Place located down by the
waterfront is sure to be a big deal when it opens in November,
a smaller less known location has opened in Jupiter with little
to no fanfare and it is truly world class.
The Olive Oil Exchange located at 711 W. Indiantown Road,
B-3, Jupiter, FL 33458 opened its doors on Feb. 10 of this year.
It didn’t take long for word to spread that they have one
of the largest selections in the state of the world’s finest Extra
Virgin Olive Oils and Balsamic Vinegars. When I say world
class, I mean world class.
Their extra virgin olive oils have won every award
conceivable and they are proudly displayed next to the Italian
Fusti tank that contains the olive oil. All of the balsamic
vinegars are PGI certified from Modena, Italy and all of the
products are offered for taste sampling every day.
As a tasting bar, they encourage their customers with a fresh
bowl of bread to try products from all over the world to contrast
the flavor differences each fruit has inherent within it.
The Olive Oil Exchange is also one of the few ultrapremium certified stores in the state; to put it mildly, they have
the highest quality products in the world.
The hours of operation are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday
through Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. The owners
are Kenny, Annette and Carol-Jean Proske and they look
forward to serving you.
access into the natural area. Both the natural area and the park
are good examples of how passive and active recreational
facilities can co-exist and be mutually beneficial. The site will
be open daily from sunrise to sunset for hiking, photography,
wildlife viewing and other passive recreational activities.
Amenities include hiking trails, ADA compliant trails, a
boardwalk, educational kiosks, an observation platform and
a fishing pier.
The site contains four native Florida ecosystems: mesic
flatwoods, wet flatwoods, depression marsh and dome swamp.
Palm Beach County purchased the 131-acre main portion
of the site in 2000. Florida Forever matching funds for the
acquisition were provided by the Florida Communities Trust.
The county also manages a 9-acre cypress head in Jupiter
Community Park as part of the natural area and owns a 14-
acre wildlife/greenway corridor on the west side of Island
Way, north of the Rialto community that connects to Jonathan
Dickinson State Park. An adjacent 6-acre wildlife/greenway
corridor in Martin County was donated to Palm Beach County
by the developers of the Bridgewater Preserve as a condition
of development approval for that site. Both corridor tracts
formerly were agricultural land and they have been planted
with native species to provide habitat for wildlife. In addition,
a wildlife crossing structure has been installed under Island
Way to provide safe passage for animals under the road.
I would encourage you to come out and enjoy these passive
recreational opportunities.
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@

The Single Scene Column©
Nexting: 5 Steps to Getting
Past a Break Up
By Kelly Leary© M.S.,
Founder of Revolution Dating
“You’ll never find the
right person if you don’t let
go of the wrong one.”
Being single again after
a long relationship can be an
uncomfortable experience.
After all, we live in a “couples
world.” If you find yourself
faced with this challenge,
here are five steps to make
the transition to your “NEXT”
easier.
1.) Know “this too shall pass.” There is a grieving process
when a relationship ends. Embrace it, but keep it short and
commit to a healthier “next” time. Learn from your mistakes,
but don’t take the blame. It takes two! The temporary pain
of grief will help you let go of the old relationship and move
on. When you are ready for the next relationship you will
know it, so be prepared to act when the time comes. Don’t be
fear-based. Get back on the horse and be smarter about your
choices next time.
2.) Start small. Finding new people to talk to and new
circles to socialize in is a huge part of the healing process. Put
yourself in front of new, quality, single people. New friends
means new connections! All of the good ones are not taken...
look in the mirror! (I can’t say that enough.)
3.) Revolutionize Your Image. Oftentimes, getting too
comfortable in a relationship means we tend to let ourselves
go. Maybe you could use a new outfit or two, a new shade of
lipstick &/or a visit to the salon or barber for a newer look.
It’s time to shed the past and step towards the future! Now is
the time to do what’s best for YOU. GET ON BOARD AND
START YOUR OWN REVOLUTION OF LOVE!!!! It’s your
turn so make it count. Life is short!
4.) Spend time with people who support and energize
you. Stay away from negativity and people who seem to be
in a rut of their own. It is so important to surround yourself
with positive people who support the fact that you are moving
forward. In my office, we call positive forward thinking people
“revolutionaries.” So seek out a network of “revolutionaries”
and watch the good times roll in!
5.) Invest in YOU. You are full of worth and deserve love
in your life! Don’t forget how important you are in this world.
Treat yourself to the things you always wanted but couldn’t
get because your partner wouldn’t approve; splurge on the
things that will make you happy. You work hard, you’re raising
or have raised great kids—isn’t it your turn now? Spoiling
yourself for a bit isn’t a bad thing. Don’t worry about the cost
of your new life! If not now, then when? None of us are getting
any younger (darn it!!!).
Remember, moving forward will pave the way for your
next relationship. You owe it to yourself to try, try again!
Always keep in mind that thoughts become reality. Your next
and greatest love is ahead of you--mainly because you believe
it to be true! I look forward to meeting you in my private office!
Nothing beats a good personal revolution! I see it daily and
we are having a blast! Join us!
XOXO,
Kelly

Northern Notes
Lightning Facts And Safety
By O’Neal Bardin Jr.
Executive Director
Northern Palm Beach County
Improvement District
Lightning is one of the
leading weather-related
causes of death and injury
in the United States. Most
people do not realize that they
can be struck by lightning
even when the center of a
thunderstorm is 10 miles
away and there are blue skies overhead.
3) Stay away from electronics, windows and plumbing that
can conduct electricity. Stay indoors for at least 30 minutes
after hearing the last clap of thunder. Unplug appliances before
the storm. A study by the Lightning Protection Institute (LPI)
shows that more lightning casualties occur at home. Out of
1,000 incidents, most occurred in (descending order):
A) On the telephone
B) In the kitchen
C) Doing laundry
D) Watching television
E) At a door or open window
4) If there is no building nearby, the next best thing to do
is to get inside a car or bus with a solid metal roof.
5) If a car or building is not an option, seek lower
elevation, get as low to the ground as you can without lying
down and stay away from bodies of water.
6) Do not raise umbrellas or golf clubs above you.
In summary: “When thunder roars, go indoors!”
*****
NPDES tip: Your neighborhood drainage system is not a
garbage disposal – please don’t treat it like one. Encourage
residents to take responsibility and to not dump chemicals,
fertilizer, paint, oil, etc. in inlets or pipes. Discourage
sweeping of lawn clippings and dirt into street drains and
disposing of lawn clippings and other debris (wood, concrete
blocks, trees, etc.) directly into retention lakes. Keep drainage
facilities clear of vegetation, trash, improperly and illegally
discarded appliances, shopping carts, tires, cars, garbage
bags, etc.

Florida is known as the lightning capital of the United
States, with storms occurring approximately 100 days out of
the year, compared to California’s low of only five. Although
our entire state rates as a high-risk area, the most dangerous
area runs from St. Augustine (north) to Lake Okeechobee
(south) and from east to west. Florida ranks number one in
the number of deaths due to lightning, 94 percent of which
occur between late May and end of September. An average
of 100 people are killed in the United States each year (10-13
in Florida) and almost 600 injured (30 in Florida). Lightning
kills more people in the United States than hurricanes and
tornados combined.
Why Florida? Partially due to its high heat levels,
high humidity and location between the Gulf of Mexico
and Atlantic Ocean: rain clouds plus high heat equals
thunderstorms and lightning!
Myths And Facts:
Myth – Lightning never strikes the same place twice.
Fact – Lightning often strikes the same place repeatedly.
The Empire State Building is hit nearly 100 times a year.
Myth – If it’s not raining or there aren’t clouds overhead,
you’re safe from lightning.
Fact – Lightning often strikes more than three miles from
the center of the thunderstorm, far outside the rainstorm
cloud. “Bolts from the blue” can strike 10-15 miles from the
thunderstorm.
Myth – Rubber tires on a car protect you from lightning
by insulating you from the ground.
Fact – Most cars are safe from lightning; however, it is
the metal roof and metal sides that protect you, not the rubber
tires.
Myth – A lightning victim is electrified. If you touch
them, you will be electrocuted.
Fact – The human body does not store electricity. It is
perfectly safe to touch a lightning victim to give them first aid.
Myth – If outside in a thunderstorm, you should seek
shelter under a tree to stay dry.
Fact – Being underneath a tree is the second leading
cause of lightning casualties. Better to get wet than struck
by lightning!
Safety Tips And Guidelines:
1) There is no safe place outside during a lightning storm.
If you are stuck outside during a storm, avoid standing around
trees, standing in open areas or laying flat on the ground.
2) Get inside a fully enclosed building not a gazebo, hut
or cabana.

Marcia Dowd AKA “Diva Dowd” keeps her fingers on
the pulse of what’s happening, where people are going and
where they’re shopping. She isn’t going to just tell you what
she experienced and respected about this business, but what
other randomly selected customers liked as well.
ACCORDING TO THE DIVA ...
I pride myself on being the ultimate comparative shopper!
I had been looking at carpets at a large local home supply
store when a fellow shopper mentioned Treasure Coast Carpet.
I took several samples and a lot of notes and decided to go
there and compare.
I was amazed at the huge selection and fabulous prices which
in a few instances, were better than the large store. That visit took
place twenty-two years ago and was the first of many of my visits
over the years.
Some of these visits were business, but many were just to say
hi! It was not surprising to me that they are on the 2nd and 3rd
generation of families and the favorite of many well respected
builders. They certainly are a favorite of the “Diva” and her family.

Window treatments, plantation shutters, verticals, etc.

RANDOMLY SELECTED CUSTOMERS...
LILLY: from “The Colony on Jupiter Island” loves to buy
residences, restore, redecorate and re-sell. She had been using
Treasure Coast for ten years. Currently she is in the middle of
doing two large separate units in the same building. Lilly said “I
will only use the girls because they have never disappointed me.
They listen to all your ideas from the floor to the ceiling, and then
helped transformed them into reality. I’m European and I have
some very different decorating ideas but it’s never been a problem.
I trust them so much that I’m leaving for Santa Fe for two months
with the confidence that upon my return all will be done... And
done right!’.

doing business with Treasure Coast Carpet for over twenty-years.

JOHN FROM SOUTH EAST COSTAL BUILDERS: deals

discovered Treasure Coast years ago. John loves being able to
send any customer to the store because they have something for
every customers taste and price point.
BILL FROM EXCLUSIVE REAL ESTATE GROUP
AND EXCLUSIVE BOAT SALES GROUP: said part of both
businesses can involve restoration, reconstruction or redecorating.
The ladies at Treasure Coast have always been very helpful
whether the job is large or small.
WHY YOU SHOULD GO...
The Diva believes to pull that “perfect look” together you need
the right accessories. Treasure Coast can be to your home style as
accessories can be to your personal style. The crown moldings and
window treatment are like your purse, the glass tiles and creative
back splash your bling, and a beautiful floor finishes the look as
does the perfect pair of shoes! Need we say more?
Oh, and when you drop by don’t forget to tell them the

happening in local restaurants and businesses and has her

Dear Friend:
I’m committed to providing our community with relevant
and timely information about our agency’s operations. We
produce an “Annual Report To Our Citizens” that details
our collections, distributions, accomplishments and future
plans. You can view the 2013 annual report, as well as past
editions, on our Web site at www.pbctax.com under Press
Room.
Our agency collects over $3 billion annually. Most of that
revenue is from property tax collections. Property tax dollars
pay for important county and municipal services, as well as
the 95 taxing authority services. Last year property tax dollars
contributed nearly $1 billion to help fund our county’s public
schools. The remainder paid for law enforcement, fire and
rescue, libraries, children’s services, courts and other services
on which our citizens depend. That’s why our office works
hard to collect every tax dollar due to the public.
Sign Up For Smaller
Payments
Speaking of property taxes, would
you prefer quarterly payments?
Payments are due by the last day
of June, September, December and
March. All property owners are
eligible as long as your annual taxes are over $100. Plan
members receive a discount of slightly under 4 percent.
Applications for the 2015 Installment Payment Plan will

Installment Plan by April 30, 2015. Anyone already enrolled
does not need to submit another application.
Four Months And Counting
Anyone born after Dec. 1, 1964, must have REAL ID
compliant identification by Dec. 1, just four months away.
Everyone else has until Dec. 1, 2017.
The REAL ID requirement is federal law. Congress
passed the REAL ID Act after the 9/11 terrorist attacks
on our country. Secure driver’s licenses and identification
documents are required as a national strategy to prevent
future terrorist attacks and identity fraud.
REAL IDs include state-issued driver licenses and ID
cards. REAL IDs have a star in the upper right-hand corner.
If your driver license or ID card does not have a star then
you need to come in and get a REAL ID. You must bring
specific original documents proving birth, Social Security
and residence to our office. Homeland Security’s required
document list is posted at www.pbctax.com/driver-licenses.
As of June, 62 percent of all eligible drivers in our county
are REAL ID compliant.
REAL IDs cannot be issued online or through the
mail. Save time and schedule an appointment. We take
appointments for driver license service only at www.pbctax.
com.
REAL IDs will be required to board a commercial flight
or enter federal buildings. Homeland Security will announce
an implementation date no sooner than 2016.

Town Of Jupiter News Update
Town Audit Committee Seeking Members
By Wendy Harrison, Town
Council Member
The Town of Jupiter is
seeking two members for
the Audit Committee. I chair
this five-person committee,
which works with town
s t a ff a n d t h e e x t e r n a l
auditor to review the town’s
comprehensive annual
financial report and audit
and make suggestions to
the town council. We are looking for town residents with
experience in governmental financial audits, management,
or other appropriate experience. We hope to appoint the
new members in early September. If you would like more
information, please contact Scott Reynolds, budget manager,
at [email protected] or 741-2327.
Hurricane Season Peaks
I want to remind residents that hurricane activity peaks in
August and September. Although we are fortunate to live in
well-built homes in Abacoa, we still need to be prepared for
storms. This is a good time to review the plans you made in
June (or make them now). Think about a “Hurricane Buddy”
if you or a neighbor lives alone. There are many sources of
information on supplies. The town provides information at
www.jupiter.fl.us/STORM or 743-7013.
As someone who went through the storms of 2004-05 in
Abacoa with young children and pets, I can attest that a storm
with planning is much less traumatic than one without.
Town Budget Proposed
Town staff have a proposed a budget for our next fiscal
year at the current millage (tax) level. Residents with
homesteaded property would see a maximum increase of
1.5 percent in town taxes, while commercial or second
home property owners would likely see higher increases
because of valuation increases. It’s important to note that
the town portion of your property tax bill is typically about
13 percent of the total. The majority of your property tax bill
is controlled by the Palm Beach County Commission, the
Lighthouse
ArtCenter’s Art Of
Association On Display
Until August 14
Collaboration and cooperation are key to the Lighthouse
ArtCenter’s latest exhibition, Art of Association running
through Aug. 14. Featuring juried works from 13 art
associations throughout Palm Beach and the Treasure Coast.
Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m.
to 2 p.m.
Art of Association heralds 276 original works of art from
146 exhibiting artists. Participating art groups include: Art
Associates of Martin County, Artist Association of Jupiter,
Artists of Palm Beach County, Ceramic League of the Palm
Beaches, Hobe Sound Fine Art League, Lighthouse ArtCenter
Artists’ Guild, North County Art Association, Plein Air Palm
Beach, Palm Beach County Art Teachers Association, Palm
City Art Associates, Port St. Lucie Art League, South Florida
Basket and Fiber Guild and Wellington Art Society.
“This is an exhibition in which art lovers and collectors
can see, as well as purchase, the best work by members of
art associations in our region. There are outstanding pieces
of art ranging from representational and abstract paintings to
photography to ceramic sculptures to fiber art,” said Executive
Director Katie Deits. “The openings, lectures and exhibition
this summer also offer the participating artists an opportunity
to network, share ideas and expand their horizons.”
Celebrating its fourth year, Art of Association reveals the
spirit of cooperation. The common goal of each organization
sharing the experience of the visual arts promises visitors
an exciting artistic experience that will have something for
everyone. Additionally, visitors can purchase most of the art
on display.
The exhibition is open during museum hours, which are
Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday,
10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Exhibition admission is free to ArtCenter
members and $5 Monday through Friday for nonmembers.
As part of the national Blue Star Museum initiative,
free admission to active military and their families from
Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend with
valid military I.D.
County School Board and a variety of special taxing districts.
The town’s proposed total operating budget is $70.6
million, as compared to $68.6 million this year. The
increases are primarily for additional personnel (including
four additional police, one-and-a-half recreation positions
to manage the expansion of the park in Abacoa, a public
information position, three utility workers and a building
position). The town’s workforce was reduced by 18 percent
between 2008 and 2014 because of economic considerations,
but we are finding that we need additional staff to provide
required services to residents and businesses. If all of the
new positions are approved, the total number of staff in 2015
(354) would still be well below the 2007 peak of 420.
Proposed capital expenditures for next year include the
final phase of South Jupiter Community Park on Fredrick




Small Road. This project will add four multipurpose fields
(soccer, lacrosse), a concession and restroom building, a
walking trail and additional parking. A separate project, also
scheduled for next year, will resurface the roller hockey rinks
and replace ramps at the skate park.
More information on the proposed budget can be
found at www.jupiter.fl.us then clicking “Budget” in the
“Government” menu. The budget will be reviewed by the
town council at a public workshop on Saturday, Aug. 16. If
you have any suggestions or comments, you can attend the
public meetings or write to the council at towncouncil@
jupiter.fl.us. Formal public hearings will be held Sept. 3 and
16 to adopt the budget prior to the fiscal year starting Oct. 1.
As always, feel free to contact me with any questions or
comments at [email protected] or call me at (561) 624-0240.

Start The New School Year Off With A New Smile!
By Drs. Higham and Sauchelli
Many teens want to improve
their smile without the pain
or embarrassment of wearing
metal braces. Just like metal
braces, Invisalign works by
gently moving teeth into
position. Invisalign aligners are
invisible! The trays are almost
undetectable when you wear
them, so you can smile with
confidence – even while you are straightening your teeth.
Invisible trays that you can’t see will be worn to straighten
your teeth. They are made specifically for what your needs are
from Dr. Higham’s prescription and 3D CBCT technology. You
will wear the trays 20-22 hours a day and change them every
two weeks until your teeth are straight!
One of the best things about invisalign teen is that they are
removable. You can remove your trays to eat, brush and floss
your teeth, or even to play sports.
They are removable so you can eat without restrictions
unlike normal metal bracket treatment. They are great for the
contact sports-minded teen because you can play football,
softball, swim, with your mouthguard over your normal teeth
without the wires or brackets possibly causing injury. Musicians
also benefit from being able to remove their trays during
rehearsals and performances. You can even remove your tray
for your school photo or to snap a quick selfie! For the parents,
you have less visits to the dentist and the cost is comparable to
regular braces. After orthodontic treatment I would always be
upset when my patients had cavities after we took the metal off.
With Invisalign the oral hygiene habits improve!
“I don’t think I’d have the patience to keep braces clean
especially having to floss between all those wires. With
Invisalign, I just take out my aligners, brush and floss my teeth,
quickly brush my aligners and I’m done.” Ruth
“They are constantly updating their techniques, training,
equipment and office protocols. The state-of-the-art imaging
is phenomenal. Their ability to handle endotherapy, bone
grafting, implants and crown manufacturing all on site makes
them among the most advanced treatment centers. Drs. Drew
and Deb are also among the sweetest and most caring people
you will ever meet. Their terrific attitude is also reflected in the
entire staff. Scheduling is never a problem; they are all very
accommodating and I have never had to spend a long time in
their comfortable waiting room.” Brian
Whether you are entering a new school, a new class or even
a new town you want to look your best. The summer is the best
time for new adventures whether it be whitening your teeth,
straightening your teeth or just making
sure everything is healthy. As a mom
and a dentist I have found this product
to be an awesome, successful and great
one to work with. Through my career
of providing Invisalign to my patients
I have had numerous successes and have been able to change
people’s lives. Come in for a visit to see if you or your teen are
eligible for Invisalign treatment. www.jupiterdentist.com, 500

Help For Girls
With ADD/ADHD
By Jim Forgan, Ph.D.
School Psychologist
If your daughter has ADD/
ADHD or you suspect she
might have it, I hope you’ve
found my book, Raising
Girls with ADHD: Secrets
for Parenting Healthy, Happy
Daughters published by
Prufrock Press. In the book
my co-author and I outline
why ADHD is different in
girls as compared to boys. We stress a proactive approach for
helping ADHD girls because girls are at a much higher risk for
emotional problems than boys so early detection and support
is important.
One key feature in the Raising Girls with ADHD book is
the dynamic action plan. We created this and have used it with
clients to help guide a girl’s future. Have you ever felt like
you’ve been trying so many different things to help but none
have made a meaningful difference? If yes, you are not alone.
This is a frequent feeling that many parents have when they
come work with me and my team. I have a parent specialist who
will sit with you, listen to your concerns, and then help guide
you using the Dynamic Action Plan. Wouldn’t it feel good to
have direction and confirmation?
This process is billed at an hourly rate and typically takes
about two hours. In addition to the initial planning, we can come
alongside you and your family and provide ongoing guidance
from once or twice a week counseling to a customized plan to
help you and your daughter. One thing we’ve learned over the
years of doing this is that the time and money you invest in this
proactive way helps prevent potentially serious future emotional
problems. We discuss this in the Raising Girls with ADHD
book because it’s well documented in research that girls with
ADHD combined type have a much higher likelihood of having
co-occurring issues ranging from self-esteem to self-harm.

Meet Your Neighbor – Jacquie Medeiros
By Barbara Bretan, Abacoa POA Staff
Antigua resident Jacquie Medeiros says she is in the best
place of her life. She is following her passion; living in the
perfect place, and filling her life with friends. There is no
doubt in her mind that coming to Abacoa was the best move.
She is grateful to friend and roommate Elisha Snyder for
opening her eyes to this opportunity.
Elisha had found the townhome in Antigua and needed a
roommate. She offered Jacquie all of the rest of the townhome
as long as she (Elisha) could have the master bedroom. This
gave Jacquie not only a place to live, but also, beautiful studio
space on the first floor – a place where she could create her art.
Though Jacquie has been sketching for as long as she can
remember, she didn’t become a fine artist until about two
years ago. Growing up, people kept telling her that artists
couldn’t earn a living and she had to be more practical. After
a few attempts at other careers, Jacquie decided that she
could make a living doing murals and faux wall finishes.
She used the walls of her apartment to create a portfolio,
before moving back to Winter Park, Fla. There she built a
successful business. But it did not fulfill her need to create
art. Drawn to portraiture, both human and animal, Jacquie
works in either the photorealism or impressionism style. The
Jacquie Medeiros – Photo by Rose Wilbur
subject matter tends to pull her to the right choice.
Jacquie’s talents are not limited to the visual realm. In
fact she started out in New York City, striving to become a
famous actress and/or singer. She still sings professionally,
appearing in local venues. She is an accomplished jazz singer.
You can find her on Saturday nights at Carmine’s Ocean Grill
Independence Day Party
Mallory Creek, recently turned over from the developer, chose Independence Day as their coming out party. And what
a party it was!
Ice cream girls all smiles
in Palm Beach Gardens. You can also see her artwork hung
there as well.
Carmine’s is not the only place to find Jacquie’s art.
She has many displayed on her Web site, .jmedeirosfineart.
com. Her work is hung at Original Elements in Tequesta
and the Lake Worth Art League Gallery, where she recently
participated in a show. As a recognized emerging artist, she
is receiving a lot of positive and constructive feedback.
When not immersed in her art at her Antigua studio,
Jacquie finds time to enjoy the charms of Abacoa. Her
roommate strongly encourages her to be more a part of the
community. She is grateful for her wonderful, supportive
Abacoa neighbors. She enjoys playing golf at the Abacoa
Golf Club. Competitive by nature, she is learning to just play
for fun with friends. Being close to the beach is another of
the great benefits of living in Abacoa.
Abacoa is the place that Jacquie lives, works and plays,
and she is happy that she found it.
2014 Kids Fest
At Roger Dean
Stadium
Report and Photos by Penny Sheltz
2014 Kids Fest, an annual event dedicated to the children
of our community was held at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter.
It was a day full of family fun that includes service
vehicles, zoo animals, bounce houses, relay races, balloon
shapers, live music, great food and more. Tickets included all

Science On The Cutting Edge
Scientists Find New Targets That Could Increase Effectiveness,
Reduce Side Effects In Breast Cancer Treatments
Scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps
Research Institute (TSRI) have found new targets for
potential intervention in breast cancer. These new targets
could eventually increase effectiveness and reduce the
undesirable side effects associated with current treatments.
Approximately two out of three breast cancers are
driven by receptors that bind the hormones estrogen and
progesterone – when the hormones bind to these receptors
in cancer cells, they signal the cancer cells to grow. What
makes the progesterone receptor therapeutically interesting is
that it has two activation domains – AF1 and AF2. Normally,
both are needed for full activation of the receptor.
“Using hydrogen-deuterium exchange technology, our
study pinpoints just how AF2 communicates with AF1 – the
first evidence of the long-range interaction between these
two functional domains,” said Patrick R. Griffin, chair of
The First
Organism With
Artificial DNA
Synthetic biologists
have been trying to expand
the natural code of DNA,
which provides the genetic
instructions for all life
using just four nucleosides.
H o w e v e r, r e s e a r c h e r s
haven’t been able to make
the artificial DNA work
in a living organism until
recently.
A team of scientists at The
Scripps Research Institute
(TSRI) has engineered a TSRI Associate Professor
bacterium whose genetic Floyd E. Romesberg
material includes an added
pair of DNA letters not found in nature. The advance could
one day lead to the development of new antibiotics and other
products that cells with the natural genetic code cannot make.
“Life on Earth in all its diversity is encoded by only two
pairs of DNA bases, A-T and C-G, and what we’ve made
is an organism that stably contains those two plus a third,
unnatural pair of bases,” said TSRI Associate Professor Floyd
E. Romesberg, who led the research team. “This shows that
other solutions to storing information are possible and, of
course, takes us closer to an expanded-DNA biology that
will have many exciting applications – from new medicines
to new kinds of nanotechnology.”
Romesberg and his laboratory have been working since
the late 1990s to find pairs of molecules that could serve as
new, functional DNA bases – and that, in principle, could
code for proteins and organisms that have never existed
before.
The task hasn’t been a simple one. Any functional new
pair of DNA bases would have to bind in a way comparable
to that of the natural nucleoside base-pairs adenine-thymine
and cytosine-guanine. Such new bases also would have to line
up stably alongside the natural bases in a zipper-like stretch
of DNA and unzip and re-zip smoothly when worked on by
natural polymerase enzymes during DNA replication and
transcription into RNA. Plus, these nucleoside interlopers
would have to avoid being attacked and removed by natural
DNA-repair mechanisms.
Despite these challenges, in 2008 Romesberg and his
team identified sets of nucleoside molecules that can hook
up across a double-strand of DNA almost as snugly as
natural base pairs and showed that DNA containing these
unnatural base pairs can replicate in the presence of the right
enzymes. The researchers were also able to find enzymes
that transcribe this semi-synthetic DNA into RNA. But this
work was conducted in the simplified milieu of a test tube.
“The big challenge has been to get them working in the much
more complex environment of a living cell,” said Denis A.
Malyshev, a member of the Romesberg laboratory who was
lead author of the new report.
In the new study, the team synthesized a stretch of circular
DNA known as a plasmid and inserted it into cells of the
common bacterium E. coli. The plasmid DNA contained
Science On The Cutting Edge on page 29
TSRI’s Department of Molecular Therapeutics who led the
study. “These findings support further research to look for
promising small molecules that block that interaction.”
The findings are especially important because in some
mutations AF2 is deleted, yet the receptor still drives the
cancer using its AF1 domain. Current drugs used for treating
these cancers only target the AF2 domain, so with nothing
to bind to, they do not work at all. While several studies
have shown the importance of AF1, its binding domain is
remarkably dynamic, frequently shifting shape and making
it difficult to target with drugs.
In the new study, the scientists used an advanced
technology known as hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass
spectrometry (HDX) to measure the intricate interactions
between the AF1 and AF2 domains of the progesterone
receptor.
HDX mass spectrometry is a high-precision, highsensitivity mapping technique that enabled the scientists
to determine the specific regions of the receptor that are
altered upon interaction. This information was used to infer
structural changes that result from the interaction
and to probe the conformational flexibility of
intact multi-domain proteins.
In addition to exploring potential new drugs
for breast cancer, the researchers also hope to investigate the
implications for prostate cancer, another hormone-driven
disease.
“Many features of the androgen receptor are similar to
progesterone receptor, as they belong to the same subfamily
of steroid receptors,” said Devrishi Goswami, the first author
of the study and a member of the Griffin laboratory. “It could
work the very same way. So these new insights may also
help in finding new approaches to treating hormone-therapyresistant prostate cancer.”
In addition to Goswami and Griffin, other authors of the
study, “Influence of Domain Interactions on Conformational
Mobility of the Progesterone Receptor as Detected by
Hydrogen/Deuterium Exchange Mass Spectrometry,” include
Bruce Pascal of The Scripps Research Institute; Celetta
Callaway and Dean P. Edwards of the Baylor College of
Medicine; and Raj Kumar of The Commonwealth Medical
College, Scranton, Pennsylvania. The study can be accessed

the natural base pairs along with the unnatural base pair
consisting of two molecules known as d5SICS and dNaM.
To get the E. coli to replicate the DNA containing these
unnatural bases, the researchers had to supply the molecular
building blocks artificially by adding them to the fluid
solution outside the cell. Then, to get the building blocks
(known as nucleoside triphosphates) into the cells, they had
to find special triphosphate transporter molecules that would
do the job.
After successfully doing so, the team found that the
semi-synthetic plasmid replicated with reasonable speed and
accuracy, did not greatly hamper the growth of the E. coli
cells and showed no sign of losing its unnatural base pairs
to DNA repair mechanisms.
The next step will be demonstrating the in-cell
transcription of the expanded-alphabet DNA into the RNA
to make new proteins from new, unnatural amino acids.

Linking A Gene Mutation
To Key Autism Symptoms
Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental
condition with a range of symptoms including communication
difficulties, repetitive behaviors and cognitive delays.
Scientists have long known that abnormal brain growth
is associated with autism spectrum disorders. However,
the exact relationship between the two has not been well
understood.
Now, scientists from Scripps Florida have shown
that mutations in a specific gene that is disrupted in
some individuals with autism results in too much growth
throughout the brain. The mutation was also linked to
problems with social interactions in mouse models that
mimicked the behavioral symptoms associated with autism in
Children’s Service with Live band!

humans. Autism
disorder affects
approximately
one percent of
the population,
and some 80
percent of those
diagnosed are
male.
“What was
striking is that
t h e s e w e r e TSRI Assistant Professor Damon Page
basically normal (right), shown here with Co-author
animals in terms Research Associate Amy E. Clippertono f b e h a v i o r, Allen
but there were
consistent deficits in tests of social interaction and
recognition – which approximate a major symptom of
autism,” said Damon Page, a TSRI biologist who led the
study. “This suggests that when most parts of the brain are
overgrown, the brain somehow adapts to it with minimal
effects on behavior in general. However, brain circuits
relevant to social behavior are more vulnerable or less able
to tolerate this overgrowth.”
In a previous study, Page and his colleagues found that
mutations in the gene phosphatase and tensin homolog
(Pten) cause increased brain size and social deficits; both
symptoms are exacerbated by a second “hit” to a gene that
regulates levels of serotonin in the brain. In the new study,
the TSRI team set out to explore whether mutations in Pten
result in widespread or localized overgrowth within the brain
and whether changes in brain growth are associated with
autism-relevant behaviors in genetically altered mice. The
team tested the mice for autism spectrum disorder-related
behaviors including mood, anxiety, intellectual and circadian
rhythm and/or sleep abnormalities.
The researchers found that Pten mutant mice showed
altered social behavior but few other changes – a more
subtle change than would have been predicted given the
broad expression and critical cellular function of the gene.
Intriguingly, some of the more subtle impairments were
sex-specific. In addition to social impairments, males with
the mutated gene showed abnormalities related to repetitive
behavior and mood/anxiety, while females exhibited
additional circadian activity and emotional learning
problems.
The results raise the question of how mutations in Pten,
a general regulator of growth, can have relatively selective
effects on behavior and cognitive development. One idea is
that Pten mutations may desynchronize the normal pattern
of growth in key cell types – the study points to dopamine
neurons – that are relevant for social behavior.
“Timing is everything,” said Page. “Connections have
to form in the right place at the right time for circuits to
develop normally. Circuitry involved in social behavior may
turn out to be particularly vulnerable to the effects of poorly
coordinated growth.”

Palm Beach County Food Project – A Recap Of The First Year
The last year has been a really good one for the Palm
Beach County Food Project (PBCFP), but we have just
scratched the surface of the potential! More than 10 tons (that
is more than 20,000 pounds) of food has been donated in the
last six bimonthly pickups. This is quite an accomplishment
and reflects the work of a lot of dedicated neighborhood
coordinators!
In June 2013, the PBCFP started out with a handful of
volunteers, who collected about 500 pounds of food, which
was given to the CROS food pantry for distribution to our
less fortunate people! One year later we were able to collect
5,000 pounds of much-needed food items, thanks to a group
of dedicated leaders, who are planning to bring this food
project to the next level in the months ahead!
It all started out in the north county with a large donor
group in the Heights and another one in Mirabella, a
subdivision of Mirasol in Palm Beach Gardens. With the
word of our success spreading, other neighborhoods in
Abacoa, Wellington and West Palm Beach are organizing
their communities to move this food project up another notch!
Our upcoming August pickup should show already the fruit
of these efforts, as we project a new record collection around
10,000 pounds of food and by the end of this year we should
be able to double this amount again!
By now you must have heard, how easy it is to win over
donors, when approached by our wonderful neighborhood
coordinators, who invite people on their street to fill a Green
Bag with much-needed food items every two months!
These donors know that their contributions to this program
will eventually reach a level, where we can make a dent in
supplying food to the hungry people in our neighborhoods!
Our PBCFP is one of only 10 pilot programs of this
simple, but so effective food initiative in Florida and in the
United States! The founder, John Javna in Ashland, Ore., is
planning to roll it out nationwide in the coming years. And
you will be able to say: “I was there and participated, when
it all started!”
I would like to extend my gratitude to all volunteers of
the Heights – a big thank you! You all are already making
a difference in helping to improve food insecurity! If you are
not yet a participant, please call Kay Heisler, your district
coordinator at (561) 748-4525 to join!
Sincerely,
Erich Zlanabitnig
Administrator for the PBCFP
