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.

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).

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.

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 Amalgama Restaurant Switch a new Caribbean fusion cuisine Menu by Chef Javier Santos.

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! Servando 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.

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.

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.

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 Dave C0..~i the i: r tiji 1~ i i,.r rl .n , II TI !. r ,. I * ! . i .I 'i i' . ,. . ..hI r' . I ' , !!. '.

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. H;, 11; .- t!rt! ,I -j HI-],,n: III 41k rFVON'"' i I r -r. mr T-VJ.

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. ThesooneIr Bthe safer x 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- 5599.

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..
