By Camila Vargas
To the east of Puerto Rico, right in front of the coast of Humacao, lies an island
where "city rush" is unknown, beaches are startling and locals are friendly. Undoubt-
edly a slice of heaven on earth, Vieques is, as one would have imagined, not too
far; a fast forty minute ferry ride from Fajardo. "La Isla Nena" is mostly known for
its bioluminescent bay and pristine beaches, but one
should know that Vieques offers much more than that.
, My best friend, Aurelie, and I went to Vieques due
to a Palmas Academy project, and ended up with
more than pictures and facts...we ended smitten with
the small island. We woke up at seven and headed to
Fajardo with just a camera, thirty bucks and my dad's
company. As soon as we got to the port we bought
three round trip tickets for just twelve bucks (indeed,
very inexpensive). Toast with cheese and butter and
freshly squeezed orange juice energized our bodies
while Aurelie sang "barriga llena, Corazon contento.
It was nine in the morning and we hopped on the ferry
ready to begin an adventure, and as soon as we stepped
land the energy and vibes were different. Vieques didn't
feel like a part of Puerto Rico, but an island alone. The
sun was warm and welcoming just like the people, the
food was great and the traffic...none! "La isla Nena" is a world of its own.
Not only did we witness sandy beaches and obvious beauty, we also learned Vieques'
history. The island was used as a prison for delinquents in the 19th century and
as a naval military base until recently. Fuerte Conde de Mirasol is one of Vieques'
most important, historic monuments, built in 1845 to serve as a defense for the
island against enemies. It was later used as a prison, and eventually it turned into a
museum were the island's history is shown, as well as artifacts and 3D pictures. On
a darker side, Vieques' was the target site for US military. Evidence of that is shown
all throughout the island's west side, with hundreds of bunkers as confirmation; it
was not until a few years ago that Vieques has been free of the US military.
Regardless of all the economic and political situations, Vieques remains a laid-back,
lost paradise. Anyb an experience bliss within reach. A

Judy & Victor



By Lissette Rosado
Judy & Victor Kelly have been coming to Palmas for years.
They came to Old San Juan on a business trip back in 1993.
"Then, we stayed in Luquillo and later discovered Palmas on
a lunch visit to the old Barracuda Restaurant. We came af-
ter Hurricane Georges and Palmas looked like it had just been
bombarded... but we still fell in love," Victor said and added
that it was funny because they rented a villa in Fairlakes and
when they came in they thought the lock-out room was the
villa. They were happy but soon they realized that they had
the whole apartment to themselves. Wow! Nowadays, they
come every year to spend 5 to 6 months. Finally they made
a purchase in Fairway Courts. "We enjoy being very close to
the amenities," Victor says and adds, "We are tennis players."
They have a lot of grandchildren and they all love to visit them
at Palmas. They also love to sail and used to have a sail boat
back home in Chesapeake Lake were they have the tradition
to jump into the lake in Christmas. "Often having to clear the
ice first!" she said. Now they don't have that problem because
they spend Christmas in Palmas.
"We really love Palmas. Life in Palmas is so easy, so relax-
ing... The best thing about Palmas is the people! We sit on
the porch in the afternoons and people stop and chat... it's so
nice," says Victor. Judy adds, "We have met most of our friends
here. Palmas has an ii !i...!h1.. group of people from different
backgrounds and we have developed real friendships." She ex-
plained how some time ago one of the friends they met here
underwent surgery and that every night someone would actu-
ally go and cook for that person.
I learned that they have also gotten involved with Sister
Nancy and project PECES. Ask Sister Nancy when you see her
for the purple Cadillac! (you can also ask Judy). A

The Palmas Four Points by Sheraton at Palmas has been un-
dergoing a very discrete restoration during this past year. As
you may have noticed, the hotel was being painted and the
decorations were being changed for a more slick and elegant
one. After completing the renovation the resort now offers
refurbished guest rooms, public areas, lobby and restaurant.
Most of the 107 rooms have now been renovated with many
fine details and accessories. "What I like the most about the
Four Points is this type of luxury at very reasonable rates!"
said Ms. Laurie Loftman, guest of the Four Point. Mr. Jaime
Obreg6n, CEO of a senior care company Linda Vida and regu-
lar guest of the hotel said:
"My experience at the Four Points Resort has been wonder-
ful. I'm staying at the resort for an extended period of time
and the staff has made my stay very pleasant, and has done ev-
erything possible to make me feel at home. The staff has made
a point of understanding my likes, so that at times I don't even
need to ask what I want, they know. Everyone, and I mean ev-


Fresh. clean and
warm contemporary
guest rooms and
suites. Perfect for
leisure, business
travelers and groups.













eryone, from the housekeeping, security, restaurant, and valet
staff has treated me like family. I can't say enough good things
about the staff and quality of my stay, except that I highly rec-
ommend the Four Point Resort".
"When you stay at the Four Points at Palmas you have access
to so many amenities: the beach, the tennis courts, the golf
courses, gyms, a Casino, walking and golf carts paths, and so
many restaurants to choose from. I love it!" said another guest
that came for the Heineken Regatta.
"At Four Points by Sheraton, the well being and comfort of
our guests and associates are important to us. Our "simple
pleasures" philosophy has made the hotel a massive hit with
travelers everywhere by giving guests what they need to be
comfortable and productive, plus the extras they love," said
Juan E. Cruz, Sales Director of the Four Points who has been
working hand in hand with the President, Dr. Jos6 Santana, in
this profound renovation.
As part of the process the ballroom was renovated and has
had a lot of activities in recent days like weddings, business
meetings and other special activities.
"The weddings have been "hot" this year. Brides love to
stay at the hotel with all their guests, that way it is simpler and
more fun. Some of the weddings take place at the beach, at the
pool area or at the ballroom. A

HE PRESIDENT





A good friend of mine who had not vis-
ited Palmas for a while was here this past
weekend. We were delighted to see each
other and to get caught up on each other
ventures. In our conversations he kept
repeating, "there is something different
in the air at Palmas; there is a feeling of
happiness, wellbeing and good comrade-
l. t ship among people not seen before. What
is happening".
My friend hit the nail right on the head.
He picked up in the positive mood that permeates our com-
munity and in the strength of the bonds of friendship that has
developed among our residents. It is a "yes we can" attitude
that has sent a strong and clear message to the rest of the
world that Palmas is a thriving community that has taken the
reins of its own destiny and has become the shining example
of what a community should be. It is the place where every-
one wants to be because it is beautiful, it is fun and it is safe.
It is a community where everyone moves the same direction
because we feel all of us have a stake in it: Palmas is ours!
Your Homeowners Association will continue to guide the
community with the steady hand we have used to overcome
the toughest challenges of old and recent past. Our sights are
set in continuing to enhance your quality of life, protecting
our property values and promoting and marketing what our
community has to offer. We are also taking the high ground
pursuing efforts such as the restoration and the conserva-
tion of the precious gifts Mother Nature has bestowed upon
our community. This is the legacy we want to leave for our
future generations and I want you to help us in these efforts
as you have done in every other major endeavor we have
pursued in the past.

Hapa Easter!

FOREST


PHA continues to work
with the community
toward our goal to restore
the Palmas Forest and its
Boardwalk and to build
the passive park that will
serve as the entrance to
the Forest. PHA will be
expanding this program to
reach private organizations
and state and federal
agencies asking for their
support for this important
community undertaking.
We strongly believe
that the restoration and
preservation of this gift
from Mother Nature is
the most important legacy
we can leave behind for
generations to come.
Please join your neighbors
and friends who have
already stepped forward
and have said yes to this
noble effort.

PROJECT


You may have noticed a dramatic change in
the way certain areas in our community have
changed. Thanks to a collaborative effort be-
tween the Palmas del Mar Homeowners Asso-
ciation (PHA) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Services (USF & WS), areas such as the one
between Harborview and Anchors Village, the
Duck Lake between Port Road and Harbor-
lights and the Forest
Passive Park Parcel
behind the Catholic
Chapel have been
cleaned and refor-
ested with native
Puerto Rican trees
such as Orteg6n,
Ausubo and Capa
Prieto among others.
We will continue this
effort over the sum-
mer months with an
initial clean up of the
Palmas Forest and the
planting of more than
900 trees in the Forest
Passive Park. This effort along with the Palmas Forest
restoration plan amply demonstrates our commitment
to protect and preserve the precious gifts given by na-
ture to our community.


SKATEBOARDS
Parents should pay close attention to
youngsters riding skateboards on the streets
endangering themselves and creating a safety
risk for transiting vehicles. Please help avoid
injury to your child and/or preventing a
major accident. Skateboarding can be great
fun if it is done safely and correctly and in
the right place. Thanks for your help!

RELAY


FOR LIFE
By Tony Maldonado
Just a big THANKS to the Palmas community for your sup-
port and participation in the American Cancer Society Relay
for Life event held in Humacao on March 5th and 6th. The
activity was a huge success and you had a big personal role in
it. The goal was to raise $76,000 and $94,000 were collected
and I hope you found this activity as uplifting as I did. Your
generous participation in terms of the planning, set up, your
monetary contributions and your active role in the walk-a-
thon brought a lot of personal satisfaction to the participants,
the recognition of the event organizers and the gratitude of
cancer victims and survivors.
Our information booth on oral cancer was recognized as
one of the best for the information contents, hand outs and
education efforts. Dr. Ruben Chamorro's discussion of infor-
mation and providing oral cancer check ups to display visi-
tors was publicly recognized. Thanks to Ilia and Dr. Chamorro
for all the literature and display
photos which were termed "tre-
mendously impacting and infor-
mative" by all visitors.
Although we were short on
walkers we managed to keep
S a presence in the track at all
times and for that we were pre-
sented the Consistency Award
during the closing ceremonies.
My special thanks to Iron Men Servando Diaz and Ruben
Chamorro for their multiple long walking shifts. Also, thanks
to Rafa Santos del Valle, Myrna Rios, Sue O'brian, Nancy Pa-
dro, Caryl Horowitz, Obed Borrero, Pat Lawrence, Annelisse
Figueroa, ILia Maldonado and Joe Maqueda and his Lizzards
Squad.
Additionally I want to thank Ilia for the decoration of our
tent and display area and to the PHA staff Alex, Orly and
Robert for their tremendous assistance in the logistics support,
set up and take down of our display and hauling of all the dis-
play and support equipment. Also to Daisy for her support
with the graphics.
Again, thanks for your caring involvement and support on
a most noble cause. Watch Channel 77 for a report on this
event.


Best Wishes





You will be truly issed!

Our constant beacon...al-
ways guiding us, always pres-
ent. How do we say farewell to
such an icon in our lives? For 14
years, Mr. Ray Gagnon has been
a source of inspiration, support
and friendship to all his kids at
The Palmas Academy. Like an
umbrella we felt sheltered and
protected by him through his
pioneering vision, advice, and
authentic desire of exceeding
our potential. Mr. G, a
leader and a friend.
February 28, 2011
marks the symbolic
farewell to Mr. G as
his last day at The Pal-
mas Academy. All his .
children were present
manifesting expressions
of love, support, and ac-
knowledgement to who
has been a beacon in
their lives. With an ar-
ray of performances and
the spirit from TPAs
students and faculty, the
ceremony conveyed humor,
gratitude, and appreciation.
Mr. G, The Palmas Acad-
emy community will always
cherish your loving memory
and your desire to become
the best school in the Ca-
ribbean. You will be truly
missed!

Meet the.,

Retired Ol Men Eatn Out


They call themselves The
Romeos. They are retired old
men eating out; all come from
different states and most of
them are golfers. Most of them
are retired as their name con-
veys but... they also have some
"wannabes"--who are not re-
tired but would love to be.
The Romeos get together
every month to have dinner
together at the Club House
and chat about life (and golf,
I am sure!). They each pay for
their dinner but they are also
collecting some money to do-
nate to Palmas Academy for
an afterschool golf program.


This year they are even plan-
ning a golf tournament to
raise money for the school.
They occasionally invite
a guest speaker to their din-
ners to talk about different
topics. This time around they
invited a group of leaders (the
"24 group", as Servando calls
them) to explain the creation
of PAC, answer questions and
get to know them all.
They are really a very fun
group of people that really ap-
preciate Palmas del Mar. A

PALMAS IS HOME TO US...
A hidden SECRET
"We came to Palmas thanks to the generosity of an
aunt and uncle that lent us their villa until we bought
our own in Crescent Cove. For me, a Puerto Rican, this
is a coming back to my roots. Palmas is so beautiful and
peaceful! A hidden secret. Since we are coming often
to Palmas we have met a lot of people. We feel we are
part of the community. We feel this is home in the same
way we feel New Paltz, where we have lived for so many
years, is," said Luz.
For Reno, Palmas and Puerto Rico are very close to
his culture. "I speak a little Spanish (actually more than
he admits) and I feel very comfortable with meeting new
people. The way of life in Puerto Rico is very close to
mine. People here are very open and accepting," Reno
stated. I will add we both (Puerto Ricans and Italians)
are very familiar and loves to live life at its fullest.

It's a matter of life and death


Jennifer Steininger went through the expe-
rience and luckily, her daughter is alive and
well. "In my home we have several security
measures; a magnet that weighs 300 lbs. at
the door, a door alarm and a fence around the
pool.
Unfortunately, that day everything failed.
Even the most cautious person can go through
something like this.
I found my little girl of 2 years i dri...
anoxic--almost lifeless in my pool. The rest I
don't need to i.l. . i i.. The important thing is
that Paula did not suffer any brain damage, did
not aspirate any water, and survived. Imme-
diately, both my children began Infant Swim-
ming Resource's Self-Rescue lessons".
Now a day, Jennifer is a certified ISR instruc-
tor and lives passionate about her mission. "I
promised then that, within what was humanly
in my power, I will prevent another parent and
another child from experiencing our night-
mare. Not a day goes by that I do not see my
daughter's face in the water. However, it is
extremely rewarding every time I see a parent
watches with happiness, as his/her child is in
complete control of his body and able to enjoy
the water, but more importantly, to survive in
the water," she stated with emphasis.

Infant Swimming Resource's Self-Rescue '.
survival swimming program is a 5 to 8 weeks
course, scheduled 5 days per week, Monday ..
through Friday, for 10 minutes each day.
Lessons for a 6-12 month old focus on teach-
ing the child to roll onto their back to float, rest and breathe,
and to be able to maintain this life-saving position until help
arrives.
Lessons for children 1-6 years old focus on teaching the
swim-float-swim survival sequence. Children learn to swim
with their head down; roll onto their back to float, rest,
and breathe; and roll back over to resume swimming un-
til they reach the side of the pool, where they can either
crawl out or until they can be rescued. If you want to see
some impressive videos visit: http://www.youtube.com/
watch?v=fwvv5IyPkXM . It is impressive even when you
know that a kid is being trained. Jennifer is going to be giv-
ing her services at Palmas and you can reach her at 787-477-

Being a7f at sixty
By Lissette Rosado


This May I will turn sixty, definitely a
rite of passage. For me, milestones are im-
portant and I have always had the tradi-
tion of making some
TODA EL type of statement
l MA MIA in my life. When I
50 turned fifty, for ex-
ample I took singing
lessons (because I
love to sing but can't
keep a tune to save
my life). In spite of
that I recorded a CD
(with cover and everything). Not only
that, I invited all my friends from the
many different paths of my life and
presented the CD as any Diva would
have done. "After this I believe you
are capable of everything," were
my father worlds.
This year, I began thinking what
I was going to do and I was considering
several things. One day, at Los Lagos
Spa, it occurred to me to ask Jackie
if she thought it would be possible
for me to be a size 6 again and more
than anything, I wanted to loose my
belly...the thing that has been at-
tached to me for 21 years (the age
of my daughter)-- actually 22 when
the nine months of pregnancy are
considered. She immediately
said: "YES YOU CAN! Let's do

I was really reluctant
because I had tried one
thousand diets, done five
hundred abdominals a day
for months and I had never lost an inch.
I had given up and began believing that
my body would be forever attached to
my belly. I recall making up the excuse
that those sizes 8 and 10 were run-
ning smaller every day. "Are you sure
Jackie?" I insisted because immediately
I decided that this was going to be my
statement for turning 60. This is it! I
will become a "Barbie" and I will wear a
bikini again! I even changed my phone's
ringtone to "I am a Barbie girl". (It helps


possible. I was going to give my word to
the World. After all, it is an important
milestone. Now I will be able to have se-
nior citizen discounts and use the express
line in the bank and government offices.
If that's going to be the case I better look
good. At least the people from the regu-
lar line will think "That old lady doesn't
look that bad!".

How to make it possible?
First, determination and will power is
very important. Second, hard work and a
good tyrant (oops... I meant trainer) that
will whip you into doing whatever torture
she can come up with. (I swear Jackie
consults www. tortures.com every night
to learn new ways of making me suffer).
And, of course, I had to modify my nu-
tritional habits. You have to change your
eating habits. I eliminated carbs from my
dinner, ate more salads and smaller por-
tions. You get used to it very quickly.
What follows is my process of losing all
the weight. By the closing of this edition I
will have lost 15 pounds already.

Special detox diet -with Jackie
This happened exactly two month ago
when I was putting together the past is-
sue of the magazine. Sandra, my art di-
rector, and I spent that week at the office
working on the final details for the edi-
tion when we decided that it was a per-
fect time to begin a detox diet (a special
diet mostly made up of soups, salads and
fruits, some fish or chicken, among oth-
ers). I lost 9 pound in 7 days. This was a
real turning point. It gave me enthusiasm
and motivation to keep going! The best
thing was that we were not hungry at all.

XCO TRAINING at
Los Lagos Club & Spa
This form of training - also referred to
as reactive training -stimulates muscles,
ligaments and tendons, bones, joints, con-
nective tissue and nerve fibers. This ex-
ercise is really amazing. I had never seen
faster results after beginning an exercise


to 800 calories
burned during
a routine. It re-
ally works your
body all over.
It burns up
to 33% more
calories, in-
creases your
cardiovascu-
lar fitness,
tones your
upper body,
tones your
lower body
and strength-
ens your core.


Spinning Classes at
PAC Fitness Center
Spinning is also a very powerful exer-
cise that help you loose weight and also
burn up to 800 calories in a class. Spin-
ning programs include both endurance
and cardiovascular training during the
workout. It is excellent to get rid of the
cellulite and strengthen your lower body.
At the beginning it seems hard and some
people give up but if you go little by little
you will gain endurance and will enjoy it
eventually.

Personal Training with
Jackie at Los Lagos Club & Spa
Even when I complain because of the
www.torturasbyjackie.com site I swear
Jackie reads at nights, she is a very im-
portant component of this goal. A per-
sonal trainer tailors every fitness workout
customized to your body and your indi-
vidual health fitness goals. The personal
training workouts optimize your time and
goals for maximum results because you
are sure you are doing the exercise right.
I am sure that when I was doing the 500
abdominals a day, I was doing it wrong
because now I am not doing even close
to that and I have lost a lot. I still have to
loose more in order to wear my bikini and
be that "Barbie" again.. A






















- a very creative program whose objective is collecting sec-
ond hand senior prom dresses for economical disadvantaged
young girls needing your help. "We are looking for acce-
sories and night purses to complement that big night
look", said Enid Catarineau, who represents the initiative
in Palmas. You can reach Enid by calling 787.645.9552. I
am sure we all can help!

Combine your best alternatives


at the PAC Fitness Center!

By Karla Hernandez
Personal Training, Spinning, Pilates, Yoga, Drums Alive, Circuit Training, Gravity
Power Training... Exercise combinations are the most popular alternatives now a
day, now people don't just do Spinning at the PAC Fitness Center; they do Spinning,
Strength Training, Pilates, Yoga, Circuit Training, Personal Training, Boxing, Drums
Alive and Gravity Power Training. Modifying your exercises can be the clue, giving
your body different workouts can speed up your metabolism since you will involve
different muscle groups and will enjoy the results. The truth is the more active you
are, the more calories you burn, but what is the ideal workout for you, the one you
truly enjoy doing. Keeping motivated is the real challenge and nutrition plays an
important role too. A Personal Fitness Trainer can really be the option for you. The
more exercises and sports you practice the more calories you burn and the more
muscle groups you involve in every activity.
We have integrated Yoga with Rolando Gu-
radiola, Drums Alive with Mari Toro, Pilates
with Myrna Mendez and a Personal Fitness
Training Program that will provide you every-
thing from keeping you motivated, nutrition-
al consultation and supplementation advice.
Antonio Milena is now managing the Per-
sonal Training Program at The PAC Fitness
Center located at the Palmas Del Mar Ten-
nis Club. He has been training a few of our
neighbors and we really want to see the re-
sults by summer. We will follow up on the
before and after pictures on our next article.
Antonio specializes in nutrition and chronic
conditions such as diabetes, scoliosis, asthma,
high blood pressure and recreational therapy
for kids. One of his favorite workouts is out-
door training for groups. He has 11 years of
experience on the fitness industry it all start-
ed at Power House in 2000. He participated on
a Fitness capsule at El Show Del Medio Dia in Wapa TV a few years ago. He played
American Football up to semi pro league and played Basket Ball and Baseball in Sac-
ramento, CA. He is also going into his third year of Ju Jit Su and boxing training. He
offers anything from circuit training, boxing, outdoor group training or One On One
and also afterschool fitness programs for kids all ages. In a very short time his agenda
is getting full and just by word of mouth. We have to give our Palmas clientele the
best of the best. Palmas is an extraordinary place to live and visit and we are getting
a lot of tourism. We certainly want the best professionals at our Club. If you accept
the challenge, get on a 30-Day Personal Fitness Training Program with Antonio
or a group training session. For more information contact us at 787-719-5445 and
remember you can combine any class unlimited for just $99 per month at Palmas
One On One Fitness Studio, your PAC Fitness Center at the Palmas Del Mar Tennis
Club. We will also have our "pay per class" program as usual. A

Our good friend and neighbor, Ralph Soto, owner and founder
of Ralph Supermarket was paid homage for his career as an entre-
preneur but most importantly for his human values which he has
incorporated in his business philosophy. "He has never betrayed
his principles and has never forgotten where he comes from. He is
not only an important entrepreneur but a great man and
a good person," said Pedro Rivera, owner of Rancho
de Papa, who organized the activity: El Festival del
Guiso. At this festival more than twenty restau-
rants of the area brought their "guisos" (soups)
for a guiso tasting.
The afternoon finished with exquisite music
where two young children sang trovas and de- 4

ME Tony Maldonado's surprise birthday party was an
S ...authentic surprise for Tony. And that's hard in Palmas
where we see each other almost every day. Ilia, his wife
did a tremendous job. Everybody kept the secret and
the photo when Tony arrived to the Yacht Club speaks
for itself. But the surprise was not only the party, his
daughters and grandchildren flew from the states for
the occasion and the encounter was beautiful. And if
you think the surprises were over....Wrong! Ilia pre-
pared for Tony and the guests an audiovisual presenta-
tion of Tony's career and family life.
The music was just exquisite! Typical Puertorrican
Music with "trovadores". As you can see in the photos
Tony also joined the musicians and delighted us with
his performance.
What was the best part of the party?... seeing Tony
really enjoy his birthday party surrounded by good
friends and family. A

daughters who flew i'

CONGRATULATIONS
By Seth Bull

- I --wp Our own Max Alverio has qualified
and played the Puerto Rico Open in the
PGA Tour. In doing so, he has repre-
sented Puerto Rico, Palmas del Mar and
now our own Palmas Athletic Club, its
members and himself as a professional
golfer, a sportsman and above all as a
gentleman.We, the Palmas Athletic
Club feel very proud that Max decided
to be part of our team. We have seen his
golf career since he was a very young
kid, then already "becoming a golfer"
with his participation in the juniors
program, then as a college player in the
University of Alabama, to
The Tour Las Americas, the Cana-
dian Tour as a professional, and now as
our Golf Professional and Teaching Pro.
At all levels he has demonstrated his
abilities and his dedicated desire to suc-
ceed, winning tournaments at all levels,
including the Island Junior Champion-
. , ship, three times the Island Champi-
onship and numerous other titles as
an amateur. Upon turning professional he has once again proven to be a winner,
including the Johnny Walker Championship, and wins on the Mini Tour in the
United States, and a competitor in the PGA Tour event "Puerto Rico Open" four
consecutive years.
As a Professional representing The Palmas Athletic Club, he has demonstrated
his maturity by further accepting responsibilities as an aspiring PGA Professional,
with his willingness to learn and to "getting the job done" in a timely and profes-
sional manner.
The Palmas Athletic Club members and personnel are 100% behind Max in help-
ing to continue his growth in his professional as well as personal life. A
