Twelve schools in Palm Beach County are now making sure kids get a full three meals a day by beginning to serve dinner. The meals will be offered at no charge for any students in after-school programs and each will contain a meat or a protein alternative, a grain, fruit, a vegetable and milk.

Snook and jacks are being caught in the early mornings or low-lit times of the day at the Juno Pier, Jupiter South Jetty, and inshore. Live mullet can be found during low light periods of the day away from boat traffic, and is usually the best bait for snook, as well as top water plugs.

The Jupiter Arts Committee is looking for large-scale painters to come up with a creative idea and paint a mural on the Intracoastal under the Indiantown Bridge. The committee is looking for “an artistic interpretation of our vibrant, growing community, which shall reflect cultural awareness, the natural environment and promote an appreciation for the visual arts.”

The site is 90 x 18 feet over the Intracoastal Waterway, and there's another 110 x 5-foot wall in the Plaza Down Under location.

The finalist will be selected in December with the proposal to be approved…
