Relief for all Shoppers, drivers and pedestrians all win with the completion of another city project BY SUSAN SIMPSON Director Cultural & Community Services

Your next drive or walk at the intersection of 183 Street and Collins Avenue is sure to be safer and less stressful. In a partnership with RK Plaza, the City recently completed a curb cut just south of 183 Street that will allow easier access to CVS, Burger King, BB&T and all the other various shops and restaurants in that shopping center. Now, southbound traffic can pull right into the plaza without first turning on 183 Street. The congestion of those trying to exit the plaza in front of CVS should be gone as southbound travelers can easily go right on to Collins Avenue without fighting the 183rd Street traffic and waiting for the light. After only one week in operation, the compliments are coming in. Instead of honking horns and near misses, parents are commending the City for making that area more organized which equals safer for pedestrians. Congratulations to the Commission for good planning and to Raanan Katz for his support. And bravo to City Engineer Helen Gray and the Public Works Department for working with FDOT and the contractor to get this accomplished. This project is a winner for all of us!

Special election on proposed charter amendments to be held on June 4 CMC, City Clerk

BY JANE A. HINES

The City Charter requires the City Commission to appoint a Charter Revision Committee every ten years. In December 2012, the City Commission appointed Lewis J. Thaler (Chairman), Jorge Camaraza, Erica Chao, John Rusnak, and Jack Cohen to the Committee to consider any revisions to the City’s Charter and submit them to the City Commission. After careful thought and deliberation, the Committee prepared and submitted their final recommendations to the City. The City Commission voted in favor of these recommendations on April 18, 2013. The City Commission has called for a Special Election to be held on Tuesday, June

H

4, 2013 for the purpose of allowing residents to vote on the proposed Charter Amendments. The following amendments to the City’s Charter will be before the electorate on June 4, 2013:

Charter Amendment No. 1: A proposal that candidates running for the office of Mayor or Commissioner submit specific proof of residency at the time of qualifying with a valid voter’s registration card and other documents. Charter Amendment No. 2: A proposal that the consent of the City Commission shall be required for the City Manager to hire or fire the Police Chief. Charter Amendment No. 3: A proposal that the Charter be amended to permit the Charter Revision Commission to select its own Chairperson.

Charter Amendment No. 4: A proposal that the Charter Revision Commission have 120 days, instead of 90 days, after being appointed, to submit any proposed amendments to the City Commission. Charter Amendment No. 5: The City Charter currently requires that the City shall utilize the services of the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Department to provide fire and rescue services to the City. It is proposed that this mandatory requirement be eliminated, even though the City will continue to use the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Department. Charter Amendment No. 6: Correcting scrivener’s errors. The City Charter currently contains certain sections with minor scrivener’s errors. There are also sections that need clarification for legal sufficiency.

Where in the world is the Sunny Isles Beach Sun?

Perhaps... Marlins Park

Last baseball season, in conjunction with the City’s Cultural Events Trips, baseball fans from in and around the City took a bus downtown for a special Mother’s Day treat to see the Miami Marlins play in their beautiful, new stadium. One clever lady even remembered to bring Sunny Isles Beach Sun Community Newspaper (bottom right) for a photo op! Who can say at this point if they won or lost, but I can guarantee, “…a good time was had by all.” I should know, I was there with my entire family. This year the City trip is on Thursday, May 30th. There is still room on the bus and don’t forget the newspaper! –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

COMMUNITY CATS PROGRAM Sunny Isles Beach moving forward BY LINDSAY DONZANTI

It is said that it pays to advertise and this has proved so true since we started making residents aware of our Community Cat Program. We have now signed up another four volunteers, to complement the other loyal volunteers we already have, and the “newbies” are prepared to assist in different aspects of the program. When I wrote the first article I wanted the residents to realize that they are not the only City to have many, many community cats. All along the beach and inland too in Dade County, it is estimated that there are in excess of 500,000 ownerless cats surviving as best they can, so the more people that volunteer to assist in controlling this situation the better, since cats reproduce prolifically and it is our lofty aim to have what are known as “sterile colonies” throughout the City. Fortunately Sunny Isles Beach, along with other forward thinking cities throughout the US have realized that the most effective method of controlling cat populations is to adopt a TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) Program whereby the cats are humanely trapped by volunteers, taken to local vets or the Humane Society to be sterilized and vaccinated against rabies, recuperated, and then returned to where they were originally found, which is generally where there is a food source provided by one of our many official feeders. If anyone has some time on their hands, perhaps YOU could do some, or all of this? We can teach you everything, how to trap, or perhaps you just want to “taxi” them to and from the vet, or perhaps you could hold them in a carrier overnight while

they recuperate? There are so many different ways to make a difference and be part of the solution. We are also trying to adopt out kittens and young cats that are born or have been dumped in the city. However, kittens born to feral mothers (please see the little poem below to more easily understand their inbred fear of humans) are generally extremely frightened by us and if taken to the Humane Society would be deemed non adoptable and euthanized immediately. Therefore another aspect of the program is to find caring people that will spend time with them, socializing them by touching and holding them etc. to eradicate their inherent fear of people and make them adoptable, and it is scientifically proven that the lucky people that adopt them will live longer and happier lives for doing so. If nothing so far has interested you, perhaps when you are out getting healthy by walking around, you could pass by a few of the feeding stations and check that everything is “to code”. Our official feeders know exactly what to do, but many well meaning people put food down on styrofoam plates, littering the sidewalks and drawing unnecessary and negative awareness to the cats. There has to be something that has spiked your interest, so please call Helena Forbes, Code Compliance Division Manager at 305792-1772 or Desiree Liguori, Administrative Coordinator at 305-792-1792 and make Sunny Isles Beach a better place for the residents and the CATS.

Thoughts of a Feral I sit benea th the bushes as she fills my dish each day, I only venture out to eat when she has gone a wa y, I know it will upset her when I turn a wa y and hide, As every day she tries her best to get me by her side. I wish that I could let her know that I don’t want to run, And hope that she will understand it’s nothing that she’s done. I’d like to have her stroke me and pa t m y wear y head, But fear will overcome and I’ll run and hide instead. For all the kindly people who feed the strays each da y, I pray the Lord will care for them as they ha ve cared f or me. — Annette Easdon

A city that never forgets its heroes BY CHIEF FRED MAAS

It has been a long, long time since the town marshal for this area was killed in the line of duty. But each year during the month of May, the Police Memorial designated to honor and remember fallen heroes is conducted from our nation’s capital to our little city here in Sunny Isles

Beach. Ralph Langworthy is among those honored and remembered, even though it’s been almost a century ago. Several years ago, “Project Hero” was formed by the Miami Dade Police Department and the P.O.A.T. police charity. It goes to every gravesite of every fallen officer and insures the dignity and preservation of the site. We here at Sunny Isles Beach after much effort and investigative work by Sgt. Paul Manzella of our Honor Guard, located the gravesite of Marshal Langworthy. It was in sad, degenerate shape; crumbled, broken and full of weeds; no place worthy of a hero to be laid to rest. So our Honor Guard members got busy and made all the arrangements and effort to restore, repair and replace the honor of that gravesite. What a beautiful job they did – several years ago, I did an article that showed photos of the before and after. It was honorable. The family of Ralph Langworthy was speechless and grateful and tearful. One of Ralph’s sons, David Langworthy, now deceased himself, never met his father, as he was killed in the line of duty before David was born. Dave’s mom was 3 months pregnant when the tragedy befell them.

But in the end, all we have are memories and stories. So during the month of May we honor those memories by retelling stories of true heroes that this little city, your city, Sunny Isles Beach, will never allow to be forgotten.

And by the way at the Government Center, you may notice the Blue Flag flying under our Unites States Flag. It is the flag of the Nation to symbolize Police Memorial. May God Bless each of us and our great country and keep us all safe!

Honda Civic design upgraded with new standard features

Ron Beasley AUTOMOTIVE EDITOR

LET’S TALK CARS The popular Honda Civic returns for 2013 with a host of design upgrades and new standard features, while continuing with the efficiency and value that has made it an icon for 40 years. The 2013 Civic Sedan and Coupe are available in LX, EX, EX-L and Si models, with the Civic Hybrid, Civic Natural Gas and Civic HF offered in the sedan. The entry model DX has been discontinued. The Civic Sedan gets new front and rear exterior styling and the interior on all models received extensive styling upgrades. Up front, a new open-mouth lower bumper with a horizontal chrome accent and a sportier black honeycomb mesh grille is anchored by new integrated fog lights on EX-L and higher trims. The grille is flanked by new clearlens corner lights and the front end flows into a new taller, more deeply faceted hood. To the rear, a new bumper design and trunk lid are capped by a clean, horizontal chrome

trim piece. The rear bumper features integrated reflector treatments and a new lower diffuser panel finished with a honeycomb mesh vent. Restyled wheels on all models help sharpen the look. Under the hood, the Civic lineup includes the fuel efficient, all-aluminum, 140-hp, iVTEC 1.8-liter 16-valve four-cylinder engine (28/39/32 mpg city/hwy/combined) that delivers 128 pounds-feet of torque at 4300 rpm. It’s mated to either a five-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission. Also available is a sporty all-aluminum, 201hp, i-VTEC 2.4-liter DOHC 16-valve engine paired to a six-speed manual transmission. Other power options include 1.8-liter, 110 hp a natural gas engine (available in 37 states) and a 1.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid powerplant mated to Honda’s Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system and its lithiumion battery pack. Paired to a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), the Civic Hybrid earns a city/hwy/combined EPA rating of 44/44/44 mpg. All Civic models have Honda’s ECO Assist technology, which with the push of the green dash-mounted “ECON” button helps drivers operate the vehicle more fuel efficiently. New safety technologies built into the Civic include the application of the next-gen Advanced Compatibility Engineering II

SIB city employees corporate run results

Photo b y Leah Einwalter

Each year, the City of Sunny Isles Beach employees run with the other 20,000 plus participants in the downtown Miami Mercedes Benz Corporate Run. And if it sounds like an easy thing, running down the streets in Miami, think again. There are various urban obstacles to avoid, bridges to run up and down and crowds of people to weave amongst. For a small group, we do better than just show up in our City Employee Division. Our men’s teams finished 2nd, 4th and 7th this year. Our swiftest team’s combined scores were not enough for first place, even though our fastest runner out-ran all 4 of the men on the winning City’s first place team. Our women’s team finished 3rd in the City Employee Division and our Co-Ed team fin-

ished fourth in the same division. Some of the perks of running are: free snacks and energy drinks to help re-energize the athletes after they cross the finish line, the beautiful evening breezes of downtown Miami near the bay and river, having fun, staying in shape and building relationships within the organization. If you missed it this year, be sure to start training with Jim Hill for the Mercedes Benz 2014 Corporate Run. It is a good incentive to stay in shape. The run is about corporate involvement too. A double thank you goes out to Ray Sellars for driving the bus and Claudia Hasbun for getting the T-shirts with short notice. The employees extend a big “Thank you” to the City Commission who sponsored our teams’ entry.

Celebrating Mother’s Day, May 12 BY RICHARD C. SCHULMAN

City Historian

To Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia goes the credit for inspiring national recognition of a day set aside for veneration of mothers and motherhood. Her mother had been an active worker in the church and community affairs of the small Virginia town where she spent her entire life. In the early 1900’s, shortly after her mother’s death, she was asked to arrange a special memorial service in the church her mother had attended. Realizing the universal

beauty of the idea, Miss Jarvis, brought her experience to the attention of the church people in Philadelphia where she lived. On the second Sunday in May, 1908, the churches of the city observed their first Mother’s Day services. These services were so widely acclaimed that she quietly but persistently campaigned for nationwide observance. Through her persuasion, Senator Burkett of Nebraska introduced a bill into Congress designating the second Sunday in May-the day on which Mrs. Jarvis was born as a national Mother’s Day. In May, 1914, the bill passed and it was President Wilson who signed the bill making it law, and it was he who proclaimed May 9, 1914, as the first Mother’s Day. Wishing all the mothers, Happy Mother’s Day!

Saks Fifth Avenue Bal Harbour has been a gracious supporter of Mount Sinai

through various fundraising initiatives. In October 2012, The Mount Sinai

Comprehensive Cancer Center benefitted from Saks Bal Harbour’s Key to the Cure event, an initiative to help generate funds and awareness for breast cancer. In addition, Saks Bal Harbour collaborated with Mount Sinai during Saks Loves Your Cause, a fundraising initiative to donate a percentage of purchases made with a Saks Fifth Avenue credit card to the hospital. The Society of Mount Sinai dinner also included a special presentation to Harvey R. Chaplin, chairman and chief executive officer of Southern Wine & Spirits and a longstanding supporter of the medical center. Marco Selva, general manager of the St. Regis, also received a special gift in gratitude for co-hosting the event. At the end of the evening, dinner guests received their own parting gifts, including Saks Fifth Avenue Bal Harbour gift cards and a copy of “Bloody Mary,” a beautiful book of recipes for the signature drink from St. Regis hotels around the world. Entertainment was provided by Arthur Barron’s Jazz Trio and Art Poco’s Rat Pack Singers.

President

The Sunny Isles Beach School Trust Fund was very excited to receive a generous donation from Commissioner Jennifer Levin. The School Trust Fund raises money to support curricula and technological purchases in our schools. This much needed support is only possible through the generosity of our community, and Commissioner Levin is a leader in our community in many ways. Jennifer Levin is a product of Miami-Dade Public Schools. She completed both her College and Law degrees in South Florida while working and paying her own tuition. She literally “worked her way through College and Law School”. As Chair of the Special Projects SubCommittee of the City Advisory Committee prior to taking office, she made application to the United States Postal Service for a unique ZIP Code for Sunny Isles Beach. We are waiting for the Postal Service to follow through. In 2013, she acted as the liaison between the American Cancer Society and Sunny Isles Beach by serving as the Logistics Chair for the Society’s Relay for Life for the cities

of Sunny Isles Beach, Golden Beach and Aventura. She has also served as a volunteer to assist with the distribution of food and staples after Hurricane Wilma. She has supported Marine Life Conservation causes, the AIDS walkathon in Miami and has helped construct homes with Habitat for Humanity. Her love for the Law and Education has coalesced in her service for the Justice Teaching Program which promotes developing critical thinking and problem solving skills in our Middle and High School Students. The Commissioner has also investigated bicycle sharing and rental programs and has met with providers in both Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. Commissioner Levin welcomes your input and ideas. You may reach her at (305) 792-1700 to promote your ideas or ask for an appointment to review an issue important to you within the City. Thank you again Commissioner Jennifer Levin for your support for our students. The School Trust Fund is always looking for fund raising ideas and greater donations and pledges. If you think you can be of help, please call Bob Welsh 305-607-5706 for an appointment.

Ready, set . . . thunderstorm, deluge, tornado warning, lightening sirens, lopsided tents, soggy grounds, wet roll-away beds, shredding signs and luminaria, drenched volunteers . . . It turned out that Mother Nature had alternate plans for the long-anticipated American Cancer Society Relay for Life, Sunny Isles Beach, Golden Beach and Aventura scheduled for April 20 and 21 in Heritage Park. All the hard work, long days and nights, meetings, anxiety, and anticipation, poof! In the wake of the thunderstorm, the decision was made to cancel the event in the interest of safety due to the atmospheric instability and gloomy weather forecast for the weekend. All was not lost though. The Relay itself is actually the climax to months of preparation and on-going fundraising. Led by Event Chair Gale Goldstein Tucker, the Relay Committee including the teams and volunteers raised about $36,000. From that

$36,000, the Relay for Life Committee is permitted by the American Cancer Society to spend 10% to cover expenses, however, the Committee used less. Also, as the show must go on, while waiting out the thunderstorm in the refuge of the Heritage Park Garage, those in attendance were entertained by the talented students from the Alonzo and Tracy Mourning Senior High Biscayne Bay Campus band and dancers. At the end of the day, priceless friendships were forged and bonds were made. Endless thanks must be given to all of those who donated their time, money, in-kind donations, food, silent auction items, and everything else. A plan is in the works for making the silent auction items available for bidding, and it is not too late to make a donation in honor of a loved one lost to or a survivor of cancer. If you would like to make a donation or want more information, contact Event Chair, Gale Goldstein Tucker at 954.558.6711, galegtucker@gmail.com or Arleen UriaSpeed of the American Cancer Society at Arleen.UriaSpeed@Cancer.org.

City Historian

That day set apart each year, first by custom and later by statute, for the purpose of honoring the memory of the soldiers who fought in the Civil War, is a successor to Decoration Day which originated with the southern states when flowers were strewn over the soldiers’ graves. After hostilities between the Union and Confederate forces had ceased, the widows and friends of the slain southerners showed their sincere love and gratitude to their fallen heroes in this fashion. This was not confined to confederate graves only. These fine women of the South also decorated the graves of the northern dead. The news of this touching tribute flashed across the North as a ray of new light and hope for

brotherhood, and in 1868, General John A. Logan, then Commander in Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, showed his deep admiration of this symbolic custom by issuing an order designating May 30th of that year as the one on which all posts of the G.A.R. should commemorate the dead of the Civil War by decorating their graves with floral bouquets and wreaths. Action was soon taken by the legislatures of various states and the 30th of May was set-aside for that purpose in the majority of states. We also pay tribute to those Americans who sacrificed their lives in the wars since the Civil War and now including our armed forces in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. We should never forget that peace & liberty, as our forefathers learned, comes at a cost of great sacrifice, but the results can be everlasting into our next generation.

Have a safe and wonderful Memorial Day everyone!

It’s Not Too Early to Start Planning Your Estate BY CURT HAGEDORN When you say Estate Planning, it causes a variety of reactions. Some people think it doesn’t really apply to them because they don’t have “a lot of money” or property. Others don’t want to think about what’s going to happen after they die, and still others think it’s something to start thinking about after retirement. Like most financial matters these day, however, estate planning is something to get into early, learn as much as you can about and revise and refine as you go along. Life is nothing if not full of random occurrences, and though you may be in your 30s with a new home, two new kids, a great career and a long life ahead of you, not anticipating what may be around the next corner is a gamble you and your family really shouldn’t take. Estate planning encompasses a number of things. Investments. If you want to make sure your family is taken care of when you’re gone, you need to begin investing in their future now. From real estate and mutual funds to items like art, antiques and collectibles, think about your estate as a litmus test for purchasing things that will maintain or increase their current value –

of thought and wisdom rather than impulse. Even something as simple as driving safely and maintaining your car is in some sense an exercise in estate planning – avoiding risk and maximizing value, be it financial or strictly utilitarian. In any case, estate planning is a matter of making long-term investments, of buying low and selling high to a certain extent, and of maintaining the value of your investments, whether they’re mutual funds or real estate. Insurance. In general, the younger you are when you begin paying into an insurance plan, the better the rate. So begin looking into insurance now – you’ll be surprised how much more your monthly bill for the same coverage will be ten years hence. Types of insurance to look into include, of course, homeowners, personal property and life insurance, as well as various types of disability and long term care insurance should you become incapacitated and unable to work. Make sure you understand the terms of your insurance – while more expensive, insurance policies that increase in value over time may be a better investment than those which, for example, expire when you’re 85. If, however, you’re starting late at getting insurance, such “term life” policies may be worth a gamble. Lawyers, accountants, investment planners. Finding a good lawyer, a good accounting and a good financial advisor in whatever combination can be worth its weight in gold, and it’s a good idea to start young. Checking your college alumni association, asking friends and colleagues

and reading financial publications, particularly local financial news, are all good ways of identifying potential professional help. Find people and companies you can trust and stay with them – these are, next to your immediate family and work, the most important relationships you’ll build over your lifetime. And be a tough customer – if you have a question, ask it and, just as you would with a doctor, if it’s a matter that you still don’t understand or even if you just have a gut feeling, get a second opinion. Wills, Powers of Attorney and other legal documents. Again, the earlier you make these arrangements the more protected and secure you, your family and your assets will be. Though there are often a lot of emotional issues around creating a will and contemplating your own or others mortality, try thinking of these things as constantly changeable documents – and treat them that way based upon changes in your own life, from buying property to getting a divorce to having another child. Making sure your will and other documents are up to date for you, your spouse, and your family is perhaps the simplest and least time consuming of all Estate Planning chores, and can greatly increase the sense of security that both you and your family have against unforeseen events. Exercise common sense. Planning your Estate is basically about caring for your loved ones, don’t complicate it by trying to use your Estate to resolve relationship conflicts or settle old scores – be fair and take the long view.

Creating A Living Trust BY CURT HAGEDORN One of the more popular ways for individuals to arrange for the disposition of their assets after death is the establishment of a “revocable living trust.” In the simples possible terms, this is the creation of a separate entity - My Living Trust, for example - which assumes titular ownership of all of your assets during your lifetime and which is under your control as Trustee. Anyone whom you wish to benefit equally in the distribution of the assets is listed as a subsidiary Trustee and, upon your death, Trust assets automatically devolve to these individuals (or other entities) without being required to go through probate. Though this is the simplest way of understanding how a Trust works, remember that, depending upon your assets and financial/personal situation, there may also be other avenues of estate planning of benefit to you and your family, and that it is best to get the advice of a reputable estate planner and/or lawyer before proceeding with any legal actions concerning your estate. Here are a few things to keep in mind about Trusts: 1) The words Revocable Living Trust describe exactly why they have become so popular - it is a way of retaining control over all your assets while your are still living, can be revoked by you at any time, and yet basically places your entire estate or any part of it you decide to include in “Trust” for your beneficiaries after death. If your wishes for the distribution of your estate are more complicated than that, you will need to consult your lawyer about other options. 2) Many assets, including bank accounts, your home and your car, can be designated as POD or “Payable On Death” to one or more individuals, thus also avoiding probate and perhaps obviating the need for a Living Trust. These rules vary from state to state, and you should check with your lawyer to make sure that these options can be exercised and if the consequences vary from establishing a trust. 3) Normally, the establishment of a Revocable Living Trust also requires the establishment of a successor Trustee/ Trustees (which in many cases is the beneficiary, for example, in the case of a spouse when there are non-marital assets) as well as a Power of Attorney, Living Will and Last Will and Testament. These documents together basically seek to deal with any contingencies - a Power of Attorney designates a person or entity to be in charge of your assets should you become incapacitated and unable to handle your own affairs, a Living Will allows you to exercise your right to refuse extraordinary resuscitation measures and often designates an individual responsible for “pulling the plug”

should you be on extended life support and of course, your Last Will is not only your final opportunity to communicate with your loved ones regarding your wishes concerning your assets but also can designate your wishes for disposal of any property not covered by the Trust, Again, this is the simplest way of understanding these documents, and they can contain many variations and contingencies which should be determined with the help of a qualified legal representative. 4) Remember that a Revocable Living Trust is different from a Trust Account - a Trust Account being a specific financial account set up to hold monies or assets in trust for a variety of reasons. For example, lawyers often have a number of Trust Accounts set up to receive retainers and other fees from clients for work that has not yet been performed, or to receive settlements, which then will be disbursed to clients. 5) Whatever type of retirement planning you decide to do, do not procrastinate. It is better for both you and your loved ones to have these matters clearly delineated with no confusion whether you’re starting out or anticipating the end of your life. 6) In today’s complicated financial world, the same thing applies to your finances as applies to your health - get a second opinion. If you do not understand some element of your estate planning, consult another professional. Also, don’t forget that your local bookstore, library or college and university has information and classes that can help you get a foundation of knowledge about estate planning.

Plan for ‘financial longevity’ BY BARI AUERBACH

How can my stock investments work with the rest of my investment portfolio?” Beyond stocks and investmentproducts, discussions with financial advisors may also encompass the merits of annuities, bonds, CDs, exchange-traded funds, futures and commodities, IRAs, market linked investments, mutual funds and unit investment trusts.

At 95, Nola Ochs became the oldest college graduate; skydiver Mary Armstrong celebrated her 90th birthday with a 12,000 foot jump; and at 93, Bert Kilbride was still scuba diving…Today, “80 and older” is the fastest growing segment of the total U.S. population. Dramatic growth in life expectancies and energetic lifestyles are now enabling us to live 20 to 25% of our lives in active retirement. Recognizing Americans are living longer than ever before, many financial advisors and tax professionals have created niche specialties focusing on creating highly personalized financial longevity strategies you can start implementing at any age to plan for the future - today. ‘Ready for Retirement?’ Virtually every week on The Today Show, Willard Scott congratulates centenarians celebrating long lives – but he doesn’t address serious concerns like “Did you save enough for such a long retirement horizon?” and “How is inflation eroding your purchasing power?” Considering a myriad of variables can impact retirement income, working with a financial advisor to develop a personalized portfolio can help you reap the benefits of services such as in-depth analysis of current economic outlooks; and vigilant monitoring of international conditions influencing optimal ways to take advantage of global market trends. So you can be the “master of your own destiny,” financial advisors can also help devise master financial plans determining how a good asset allocation strategy can help manage investment opportunities and risks. A trusted financial advisor can help you set realistic goals and develop a financial plan to meet them; live within your means; gain a basic education about investments, taxes,

insurance, estate and retirement planning; and suggest ways you can diversify so you don’t have too many eggs in one basket. Ric Edelman, heralded as the nation’s #1 independent financial advisor, hosts a radio talk show routinely featuring segments on how to prepare for retirement. Primary considerations he recommends include: Determining how much money you’ll spend monthly; anticipating the cost of health care; purchasing long-term care insurance; refinancing your mortgage; boosting cash reserves; evaluating sources of income; revising investment

strategies to keep pace with the rising cost of living; and reviewing your estate plan. ‘Take Stock of Options’ If you’re investing in stocks, your financial advisor should provide you with a wide range of stock investing services such as developing personal asset allocation strategies; selecting individual stocks; assisting with decisions about when to buy and sell stocks; and frequently providing stock portfolio reviews. Potential investors need to explore questions such as “What are my investment goals? How much risk am I willing to take? and

‘Go With the Pros’ At 70, Roger Alsopp swam the English Channel and Yuichiro Miura climbed Mt. Everest; at 98, Keiko Fukuda earned her tenth degree black belt; and at 102, “born to be wild” Bess Tancrelle was still riding her motorcycle…Vitality, compounded by uncertain economic times, makes consulting with a financial advisor even more of a vital necessity when it comes to developing effective, long-term financial solutions. Today, many public accounting firms are taking a comprehensive approach to helping clients attain financial security in an ever-changing environment. Smart tax and financial planning is practical in any environment, but in light of recent legislation passed to avoid the “fiscal cliff,” now is an especially prudent time to reevaluate business and personal plans. CPAs can help devise tax strategies such as deferred compensation IRA’s; and they often work with personal investment advisors to help ensure financial security goals are attained. Plans can always be periodically revised to accommodate changing market and tax laws as well as evolving life circumstances. ‘Plan for the Future - Today’ At over 90-years-young, comedienne Betty White is still “Hot in Cleveland”; also still quite vital at 90, Nahu Ram Jogi fathered his 21st child…Through every stage of investment planning, financial advisors can help you plan for the future - today so you can enjoy singing the praises of retirement tomorrow…somewhat like the world’s oldest woman, Jeanne Calment, who released a rap album when she turned 121!

Florida Healthcare Plus’ focus on quality customer service BY DONNA SHELLEY

One topic that is uppermost in the minds of most Americans ages 65 and older is the availability of quality healthcare. Among companies offering managed care in the state the people at Florida Healthcare Plus (FHCP) believe that their focus on quality customer service and cost-effectiveness make them the obvious choice for Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. FHCP started out in 2004 as a pre-paid health clinic plan, addressing the needs of lower income families. Today, its is a licensed Florida HMO (health maintenance organization) with branches in Miami, West Palm Beach, Orlando and Tampa. Focused on serving the needs of its members, FHCP’s community-based operations offer Prepaid, Medicare and Medicaid managed care programs. Placing service and concern for each individual member at the forefront of its corporate model, FHCP’s director of marketing, Abram Rodriguez, explained that the company is focused on preventative healthcare methods as a way to cut high medical costs. “We bring a lot of innovative benefits to Medicare, based on our motto that service

comes first,” Rodriguez said from the company’s Coral Gables office. One such feature is the over-the-counter debit card that is recharged in $100 increments every month. The member can use the card at Walgreens, CVS, Family Dollar and Dollar General to purchase 25,000 health-related products, from aspirin to blood pressure cuffs. Another is FHCP’s unlimited van service for members, offered free of charge for doctor appointments, trips to the gym and even grocery-shopping outings. The company has purchased its own fleet of comfortable Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans, operated by drivers trained and employed by FHCP. Free gym membership is offered to all

members and dieticians are available to accompany members on van-assisted grocery shopping trips to provide guidance for those who need advice on the best food products for their particular health issues. Other plans such as dental and eye health programs are available. FHCP’s coverage is worldwide and accompanies the member wherever he or she goes. By limiting costs and practicing prevention, FHCP, a relatively small company, can invest the savings into benefits instead of rewarding a large group of stockholders, as is done by larger HMOs. The doctors who are providers with FHCP are incentivized to keep people in good health and receive assistance from FHCP to help cover the costs of implementing and maintaining electronic health records of members. FHCP also prides itself on the strength of its Social Services Department. It is ready to courteously and efficiently assist members with any service that is offered by the DCF, such as Medicare and Medicaid information, food stamps and home delivered meals and phone assistance. A hallmark of FHCP’s company is its concern to educate members on the services available to them. New member orientation takes place at local restaurants where benefits are explained in a relaxed, friendly environment, and staff is on hand throughout the year to assist the members and to help them navigate their way through the Medicare and Medicaid systems. Providing a community-based, clientcentric managed care service is at the heart of what FHCP offers. “What I like about my job is seeing people happy. We are sensitive to the needs of our members and our providers. We give true preventative care and pass the savings along in more benefits for our members,” said Peter Hernandez, chief operating officer.

See Dr. Leon Egozi for ‘quick, painless’ hemorrhoid relief BY BARI AUERBACH At the Aventura office of Dr. Leon Egozi, patients are receiving non-surgical, “fast, painless, proven” relief from hemorrhoids with the revolutionary CRH O’Regan System®, considered to be the gold standard in hemorrhoid treatment. More than 99% effective, this minimally invasive procedure can be performed in the comfort of Dr. Egozi’s office in only a few minutes - and recurrence is rare. Hemorrhoids are cushions of swollen tissue and blood vessels in the lower rectum that can cause negative symptoms such as itching, bleeding and swelling, which can get progressively worse over time if not treated properly. Deemed “much safer than traditional banding,” the CRH O’Regan System® hemorrhoid treatment cuts off blood supply to the hemorrhoid by placing a tiny rubber band above the swollen tissue. The hemorrhoid tissue will begin to shrink and after a few days, the band will fall off, eliminating along with it the negative symptoms the patient may be experiencing. Unlike traditional banding techniques that use a metal-toothed clamp to grasp the tissue, a single-use, disposable, gentle suction device is used to reduce the risk of pain or bleeding. While the CRH O’Regan System can banish “roid rage,” Dr. Egozi advises

reducing the chances of developing them by avoiding high-fat, low fiber foods associated with constipation; drinking at least seven or eight glasses of water daily; and adding 15 grams of fiber to your diet. A board certified, general surgeon, Dr. Egozi has been treating hemorrhoids for years. In 2007, he became one of the first surgeons trained to administer the CRH O’Regan System for hemorrhoid banding. Since then, Dr. Egozi has helped countless patients with symptomatic hemorrhoids attain relief with no pain or down time, enabling them to return to their normal activities the same day following treatment. Dr. Egozi studied at the University of Miami and earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He completed his general surgery internship and four year residency in surgery at Flushing Hospital and Medical Center/Albert Einstein School of Medicine; and in 1992, he opened a private practice in Miami. Dr. Egozi is currently on staff at various hospitals and serves on the Medical Executive Committee of a premier ambulatory surgery center. For more information, or to arrange a consultation with Dr. Leon Egozi, phone: 305-504-2112. The Aventura office is located at 21150 Biscayne Boulevard, Suite 302.

‘Ageless Fitness’ BY BARI AUERBACH

“Fitness is a fountain of youth!” A statement proven time and again by the exceptionally fit people often seen at gyms who look at least ten years younger than their actual age. The “no excuses” truth is, it’s possible to start exercising at any age – and long-term studies show being active can cut the risk of premature death by as much as 50 percent. One of the first steps to “defying gravity” and looking forever young is to learn more about what happens to our bodies as we age. After age 30, fitness levels can decline, leading to a tendency to put on weight. Bone and muscle loss begins around age 35. Flexibility and strength are also on the decline, as body fat levels and blood pressure are on the rise. A whopping 50% of these changes are a direct result of inactivity. With regular exercise you can take control of your life, delay and even reverse adverse effects associated with aging. Major fitness components that can have the greatest impact on preventing falls and prolonging independence include body composition, strength and power, aerobic capacity, flexibility, balance and mobility. Physical fitness can also help improve the ability to perform every day functional activities such as lifting and bending. So choose to move! Research shows that even people in their 90s have seen up to a 200% improvement in strength within a few weeks of starting an exercise program. “Looking and staying young is easier than you might think,” explains Delia Cicale, co-owner of Olympia Fitness Center. “I’ve been exercising since my twenties and now, I’ve been able to maintain my weight and look by best at 60. My husband, Pete, and I both follow a very diverse workout program incorporating strength training, flexibility and aerobic exercise.” Strength training is especially beneficial for developing lean muscle mass and increasing your body’s ability to burn calories – even while at rest. Studies have shown women who joined men incorporating strength training in their exercise program lost an average of 44% more fat than

those who didn’t. Stretching daily to enhance flexibility can also help maintain elasticity in muscles and reduce the risk of joint disease. Aerobic exercise bolsters immune function, lowers blood pressure and can keep your heart healthy while stimulating cell growth, enhancing mental condition and increasing brain function in older adults. Exercising also triggers the release of endorphins which can counteract depression. Proper diet is another critical key to finding the “fountain of youth.” An antiaging diet, rich in antioxidants, can prevent damage to the heart, arteries and other tissues. As a result of the natural aging process, men - and especially ladies lose lean muscle mass every year and replace it with fat. This is a primary reason why weight control and weight loss becomes so much more difficult then when you were 18. One pound of fat burns only about four calories per day, while one pound of muscle burns approximately 50 calories per day. Experts agree, being active and exercising regularly is probably the number one thing you can do to slow the aging process and improve vitality. “Exercise can be described as a real lifesaver,” the Cicales energetically proclaim. “It can help you reduce stress, feel revitalized, happy, stronger, more confident, young and alive!”

Finding Part Time Work to Supplement Your Income BY AMANDA KNOLES

In years past it was common to work at one company for an entire career and spend the retirement years traveling, playing golf, or pursuing hobbies. Today with increasing financial demands and changes in social security laws raising the retirement age above 65, many Baby Boomers expect to work at least part time during their retirement years. After decades of being on the fast track in the working world, some people find it hard to stop working abruptly at retirement and prefer to keep busy in another job at least part time. A skills-based resume is an effective way to highlight your experience and accomplishments without calling attention to your age. Try to list skills that can apply to a variety of positions such as supervising others, customer service, making sales calls, organizing databases, research, budget management, etc. Don’t forget to list any volunteer or management experience you may have even if it was in unpaid positions. When you begin your search for a part time job it’s a good idea to approach smaller businesses and nonprofit organizations that have a tendency to be more flexible in hiring older workers. If you enjoy working with kids, consider applying to work as a teacher’s assistant. There is a huge demand in private and public schools and many school systems allow on-the-job training. You may be able to transfer your business skills into a consultant position. Talk with past work contacts and associations within your industry for leads on part time financial, marketing, project management and other opportunities. Many mature workers who have spent years in office jobs enjoy expressing their

creativity in a part time job related to a favorite hobby. If you love antiques, you might consider working at an antique shop or helping a local dealer acquire and appraise new inventory. Gardening enthusiasts might work for a florist, a home and garden shop, or for a landscape designer. Even if you aren’t skilled at floral or garden design, many florists and nurseries need people to work part time making deliveries and taking orders especially during busy seasons like Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and Christmas. If you enjoy working with people, talk with your local bank about becoming

a new accounts representative, teller or financial consultant. Museums, amusement parks, casinos, resorts and restaurants are always in need of friendly people to work as tour guides, ticket takers, servers, etc. Avid readers or music fans are a natural for working in bookstores and music shops. Or put your knowledge as a movie buff to work at a video rental store. Many hotels, retail stores, apartment complexes and businesses hire seniors to work as security personnel or as information agents for a front lobby. Those with a background in security or police work

may find part time work as a security screener at the airport. Contact the Transportation Security Administration for more information or check with your local airport authority for details on positions that may be available. Travel enthusiasts may want to look into tour guide opportunities or even teaching English abroad. Many airlines also employ mature workers to work as airport reservationists, food preparation staff, baggage handlers, or to staff reservation call centers. If you worked for years in a construction job and no longer want to wield a hammer and saw, you may be able to transfer your years of experience on job sites to a new position involving project management or supervising inventory. It is important to convey how your years of experience in other industries can benefit a new company. Talk about transferable skills that relate to the job at hand. Be convincing about your ability to adapt to new situations and use your time in an interview to demonstrate your pleasant personality and willingness to work with others. Don’t forget to mention hobbies, interests and volunteer experience. For example raising funds for a charity is relevant if you are applying for a sales job. Be prepared to address employer comments that you are overqualified for a position. You might explain that you are looking to expand your knowledge by exploring a different field. It is against the law for employers to discriminate because of age but you may have to address subtle references to it. Let the employer know that you are enthusiastic, computer literate (if applicable) and open to learning new things. Be honest about explaining any gaps in your employment. If you took time off to care for a spouse, or you were laid off, explain the circumstances and emphasize that you are ready to return to work.

Healthy elderly people with daytime sleepiness face higher risk of cardiovascular-related death Healthy elderly people with daytime sleepiness face higher risk of cardiovascular-related death American Heart Association rapid access journal report Study highlights: • Elderly people with regular or frequent excessive daytime sleepiness may have a higher risk of overall and heart-related death. • Excessive daytime sleepiness may be an important indicator of risk of death. • Researchers suggest physicians survey elderly patients about their sleep habits. Healthy elderly people who regularly feel very sleepy during the day had a significantly higher risk of dying from cardiovascular disease, a study reported in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association. Elderly people who reported regularly feeling sleepy during the day had a 33 percent increase in relative risk of overall death compared to those who didn’t feel sleepy. Even after researchers adjusted for such other risk factors as age, gender, body mass index and previous cardiovascular disease, the sleepy people also had a 49 percent increase in relative risk of cardiovascular death.?Researchers conducted the Three-

City Study for six years in France, following 9,294 elderly people without evidence of existing cancer or cardiovascular disease and who did not live in nursing homes or other care facilities. “Complaints of excessive daytime sleepiness are very frequent in the elderly but there have been few studies relating daytime sleepiness and mortality in the elderly and those results were mixed,” said Jean-Philippe Empana, M.D., Ph.D., lead author of the study and a researcher at Inserm, the French Public Institute on Health and Medical Research. In Empana’s study, the average age of participants was 74 years old and 60 percent were women. At the onset of the study, participants completed a short questionnaire (derived from the Epworth sleepiness scale, a validated questionnaire to assess daytime sleepiness) to report whether they felt sleepy during the day: 14 percent said “regularly” and 4.7 percent “frequently.” After following the participants for six years, 762 had died. Of the deaths, 34 percent were because of cancer and 26 percent were from cardiovascular disease. Although the results point to an associ-

ation between excessive daytime sleepiness and an increased risk of cardiovascular death, Empana said, “we are far from having a clear explanation.” Two-thirds of the participants had an ultrasound exam of their carotid artery, and investigators found no association that an increase in carotid plaque would explain. “Also, we thought there might be an underlying sleep apnea syndrome, so we looked at snoring and obesity, but once we adjusted for that, we still have a significant association between excessive daytime sleepiness and cardiovascular disease death,” Empana said. Researchers are unclear on whether the sleep complaints are a symptom of an underlying disease or whether the sleepiness triggers or worsens a disease. Physicians should ask patients about their sleep habits and closely monitor elderly patients for signs of excessive daytime sleepiness, Empana said. “These data may have clinical implications adding to the body of evidence that excessive daytime sleepiness is not a benign but rather an important risk marker of death in community-dwelling elderly,” he said. “The main aim is to be aware of sleep complaints and to look for them routinely in the elderly, because it may be associated with the worse prognosis.” The Three-City Study is conducted under a partnership agreement between the Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale (INSERM), the Victor Segalen–Bordeaux II University, and Sanofi-Aventis. The Fondation pour la Recherche Médicale funded the preparation

and initiation of the study. The 3C Study is also supported by the Caisse Nationale Maladie des Travailleurs Salariés, Direction Générale de la Santé, MGEN, Institut de la Longévité, Conseils Régionaux of Aquitaine and Bourgogne, Fondation de France, and Ministry of Research–INSERM Programme “Cohortes et collections de données biologiques.” Co-authors are: Y.

Insuring Good Health for Retirees BY SARAH KOCH While there are a number of good things about getting older, obtaining adequate health insurance isn’t one of them. According to the Employee Benefit Research Institute (ERBI), only about 37 per cent of those retiring before age 65 will continue to have now former-employer-based health coverage, and only 27 per cent of those who retire at 65 or older will do so. Even if you’re thinking that retirement for you is a long way off, just know that, according to experts, Medicare will run out about 2030. Even if you fall into one of the above minorities, you’ll probably be required to pay full premiums, which can be a shocker. Still, though, you’ll be paying a group rate, not individual, and you’ll likely be getting broader coverage than you would with an individual policy. Even if you’re told that your — and your dependents’ — coverage will end on your last day with the firm, check to see if the federally based COBRA law applies. Under COBRA, certain businesses must offer their former employees insurance coverage, even if at full premium. Excuse me, but haven’t you ever heard of Medicare? Indeed I have, Smarty-pants. But Medicare, on the average, covers less than 50% of a senior’s health costs. And that fact brings us to Medigap (Medicare Supplemental) that can be used to fill in some of the cracks. In order to get it with a minimum of fuss (i.e., no physical exam, or questions about your health) be sure to apply for it within six months following your 65th birthday. Medigap offers ten individual and varied plans, each with the same minimum benefits. If you think it’s likely you may need long-term health care (whether in-home or in a nursing home), be aware that Medicare covers only about 10% of such expenses in the US. That’s when you might turn to Medicaid. To qualify for this, though, you have to fall below the poverty line, which measurement varies from state to state. OK, grim though that this all may sound, buck up, Sparky! It’s not like there aren’t options. Options, did you say? Yep. To begin with, you could try putting aside enough to cover those possible health/long-term care expenses. Per the ERBI again, that would mean saving up about one million dollars to cover such potential costs over the remainder of your life following retirement. This amount, of course, doesn’t include what you’d need for your everyday expenses. Yes, I know – yipes! Well, thank heavens, that’s not the only choice. So, if your former employer drops you altogether, you can look into private insurance policies (expensive) or a group insur-

ance package, which would prove more economical. Then again, there may be more options. Such as: How do you feel about further education? You might be able to acquire health coverage by returning to school. Many junior colleges and universities offer relatively inexpensive insurance for their students, and you may only have to take a couple of courses a semester to qualify, just as long as you’re building towards a degree. Have you wanted to move? I ask because health insurance costs vary from state to state. (This is true for auto and home insurance as well.) The bright side here is that this is true, even for people who are already suffering from ill health. At that, there are countries in both Latin America and Europe with socialized health care, though there could be either a period of residency that must be met, or you may have to marry a native. Then again, that may not be such a sacrifice. Travel is so broadening . . . and would make you eligible for traveler’s health insurance. Then again, for those of you in the military, check out TRICARE. Also, have a thorough physical before your retirement date, and fully document any injury you received while serving, however minor. (What’s trivial seeming now could develop into something more serious in the future.) In addition, to protect your chances of a successful later claim, also note any preexisting conditions that became aggravated during this period. If you don’t have such evidence, then you may be unable to make a successful claim later on. Even if you eventually pick up insurance from another employer, as a veteran, you may be qualified for special benefits, so investigate fully. At that, for those who retire too early to qualify for Medicare, there may be the possibility of “interim” insurance. In fact, depending on your given profession, and the state where you live, there may be special options open to you, so don’t fail to ask questions! A few last words . . . Before beginning your search for the most appropriate coverage, ask yourself the tough questions. “ What kind of health coverage might I need?” (There’s no need to pay for what you won’t likely use.) “What’s my family history like?” If heart problems, say, run in the family, then it would be smart to plan for that eventuality. As for advice, you’re not in this alone. Contact a trusted insurance agent, scour your Yellow Pages for a local agent, or call the American Association of Retired Persons, also listed in your phone book. Any of these folks can help steer you in the right direction, answering your questions, and even helping you to decide what questions to ask.

Cool Jobs for Seniors BY CURT HAGEDORN

More and more seniors are entering or re-entering the work force these days and for a variety of reasons ranging from financial need to just plain wanting to get out of the house. We’ve all seen the ads with octogenarians waiting on counter at the local fast food restaurant or greeting customers at WalMart, but there are many other options out there for seniors that can allow them to supplement their income or just continue to contribute their knowledge and life-long wisdom to their communities. Consulting. Depending upon your skills and prior occupation, many savvy seniors are finding that the rise of home computing has allowed them to keep a presence in the workforce even after retirement. Accounting, tax preparation, real estate sales, financial advising and business planning are all avenues where seniors can apply their lifelong experience to assisting individuals and small businesses on a consulting basis. For seniors who don’t need the additional income, many locales also have mentor programs whereby qualified former executives and other professionals can volunteer to assist small businesses and non-profits as expert advisors. Volunteering. Whether it’s for your local church, soup kitchen, animal shelter or

wildlife conservancy, seniors often have the time, the energy and the creativity to make a real difference in supporting these various community programs. Any not for profit or community organization that is not making adequate use of the tremendous assets of seniors in their community should seriously consider reaching out to them, and seniors should most definitely consider volunteering their efforts to assist with or create programs to support local philanthropic organizations. Starting a Home Business. In just about any group of seniors, there’s enough combined work and life experience to establish any number of viable small businesses. From marketing baked goods to local restaurants and gourmet stores to creating any number of decorative items to turning a basement carpenter’s shop into a wooden toy factory, the limits are pretty much only imagination and stamina. While you might not want to put your life savings at

risk, starting a home business on a small scale can often be managed without too much expense and can provide an outlet for skills and dreams which you might have foregone for your entire working life. Mentoring and Teaching. Many other cultures revered their senior citizens for the accumulated experience and wisdom of their years, and Americans are slowly learning to do the same. If you’re an expert in a certain field or even if you’re just an acknowledged master at something like sewing or crocheting, you may find a pool of willing students in your community who would like nothing better than for you to pass on your skill and knowledge to them. Try contacting your local community center, adult education outlet or college or university department of continuing education with a proposal that they help you pass your life-

long expertise down to the next generation. Caring for future generations. Depending upon health, level of mobility and stamina, seniors are often the go-to family members for child care – there’s no reason why they shouldn’t be paid for it. Though you may not be up to running a day care center for a large number of children, you may be surprised to find how much help you can be at an existing day care center, or simply providing a place to go for some neighborhood children for that difficult to schedule time period between after school and when their parents come home from work. If you’re considering any kind of child care, it’s important that you honestly assess your abilities and desires in this area – parents these days may be more specific or differ in their views on things like diet, activities, and punishment and you just want to make sure you’re an old dog that really wants to learn some new tricks. Finally, remember there’s safety in numbers. Ventures which you might not want to undertake on your own may suddenly become doable if you include a friend, or a group of friends. Keeping actively involved in life, in your community and with other people is often the key to making a semi-retired retirement the perfect blend of energizing activity and deserved rest and relaxation.
