CUSTODY

Custody is defined as the care, control, and maintenance of a child which a court may award to one of the parents following a divorce or separation proceeding. When custody becomes an issue because of a couple’s divorce, the custody arrangement usually becomes a part of the divorce decree.

$399

PATERNITY

DIVORCE

$399

Divorce (or the dissolution of marriage) is the termination of a marital union, the canceling and/ or reorganizing of the legal dutiesand responsibilities of marriage, thus dissolving the bonds of matrimony between a married couple under the rule of law of the particular country and/or state.

POWER OF ATTORNEY

$299

Paternity is the legal recognition of a man’s biological relationship as the father of a child. If a non-married couple has a child, establishing paternity can be crucial for determining the rights and responsibilities of both parents. A paternity claim is a petition that can be submitted to the court by either the mother or the father of the child.

In estate planning, a durable/medical power of attorney is often chosen as a way to plan for those times when you are incapacitated. It is a written document that remains valid even if you should later become unable to make your own decisions.

Breathe Easy In Our Judgement Free Atmosphere

“If you look in the fitness world, 10 to 15 percent of the population in the U.S. are “gym rats”. They go to the gym religiously. But 85 percent don’t go often because they feel too intimidated to go to the gym, says Planet Fitness General Manager Jonathan Woodard. When you look at your exercise habits, which one are you?

“People get intimidated by slamming weights, excessive grunting … I didn’t understand people were scared to go the gym until I started working here [three years ago],” says Woodard, who works in the Coconut Creek location (4291 W. Hillsboro Blvd.), which opened in 2015.

This is just one location, but Planet Fitness has over 1000 nationally as well as locations in other countries. The secret to this company’s success comes in its ability to target the niche audience who wants to work out, but is looking for a “judgement free zone,” which is what Planet Fitness is known for.

“There are five fears of going to the gym [not necessarily in that order],” continues Woodard. “1) physique anxiety – people being scared of people judging them. 2) Feeling stupid – not knowing what to do with the equipment. 3) – Fear of the hard-sell. We are not big on the hard sell. We are no pressure sales. We show what we have and people choose. 4) Fear of isolation – people isolate themselves [because they feel judged]. 5) Fear of being a klutz.”

Planet Fitness is set up in a way to ensure that guests feel comfortable coming in to work out whether they lift free weights or use the resistance machines, or workout through one of the circuits. Working from machine to machine in one-minute increments, using the circuits can be incredibly effective and never get boring since it is such a dynamic and ever-changing workout. There is even a circuit just focused on abs. Also available is an

apparatus that looks a bit like a jungle gym decked out with monkey bars, as well as a medicine ball rebounder, TRX bands, kettlebells, resistance bands, battle ropes and other items frequently used in “The Biggest Loser,” the TV show Planet Fitness sponsors. A long line of treadmills, ellipticals, recumbent and upright bikes, stairmasters, arc trainers and more await guests. While working out people can watch one of the 28 flat screen TVs. Guests are surprised at how big the facility is, at 24,000 ft. and everything it offers. Besides a wide range of equipment, every guest is able to sit down and design their workout program with personal trainer K.C. Lutz.

Next, they can either attend classes taught by the trainer on various topics or simply request a one-on-one session.

Access to the trainer is included in the monthly fee. If people, after four or five months, want to change their program, they can do that and become a more advanced user. Of course, they do not have to follow a program at all if they feel comfortable with the equipment.

One of the most compelling reason to join Planet Fitness is the cost. It is only $10 per month for the basic fee, plus a low cost set up fee and an annual fee. But there are no contracts. Another unique aspect of the gym is its hours.

The gym is open seven days a week, 24 hours a day!

For slightly more, $19.99 per month (with a yearlong contract), people become Black Card members. Members have access to a special spa area, which includes massage chairs as well as hydro massage beds, which is a dry system that shoots movable jets of water up on the guest’s back for relaxation after a hard workout. There are videos, games and music available for guests to watch while relaxing there. Also in this area are tanning beds, as well as The Beauty Angel’s Total Body Enhancement, a stand-up unit which includes UV light to promote collagen

growth and Vibra-Shape technology that uses whole body vibrations to not only release lactic acid, but also reduce the appearance of cellulite, firms and tones the body. It helps to relax the muscles and prevent aches and pains while improving circulation and speeding the body’s metabolic rate. With 4-Levels of Interval Training: Beginner to Advanced, helps work muscle groups: Legs, Abs, Arms and Glutes. Gives you a glowing complexion, makes you look good and feel good!

Planet Fitness has state-of-the-art equipment and also utilizes its own app. Clients can sign up to do everything from looking over their bill to posting to Planet of Triumphs.

Here, they can share their fitness journey and read others’ inspirational tales. From teens to seniors, guests of all ages share their experiences. The oldest member Planet Fitness has had so far is 95 years old. Talk about inspirational!

Ready to sign up for Planet Fitness? They pride themselves on customer service so they will be happy to answer all your questions. Refer a friend and get 10 percent off merchandise and 50 percent off anything on the wall in the lobby area. They have T-shirts and other products, as well as water and sports drinks available for members.

LEGALLY SPEAKING

BY ALAN J. REINDFELD, ESQ

A

Digital Assets in Probate s we head into the spring of our New Year, I have come across a topic which is becoming more and more common, what to do with digital assets of a deceased person?

Digital Assets c an refer to various items including but not limited to: Online gaming acc ounts (FanDuel or Draf tKings), Electronic Rewards Points on Credit Cards, Electronic Rewards Points on Amazon, iTunes Acc ounts, etc.

Some people have their bills paid electronic ally or online. When it c omes to asset searching and bills, I always advise clients to check the mail.

However, in today’s electronic age, it c an be ver y dif f icult for a Personal Representative or Trustee of a person’s estate to have knowledge of assets and debts of an Estate if it is all stored electronic ally.

Electronic reward points depend on a person’s c ard c ontract if they maintain any value af ter a person’s death.

How many people actually know that you do not own any music, movies, or books purchased from Amazon.com or iTunes. Rather, you are electronic ally leasing it for your own personal use for the course of your lifetime. Once a person passes away, those items are for a bet ter term, histor y.

So what ’s the best advice I can of fer for those who do have acc ounts, e - mails, or any t ype of electronic footprint on the Internet, have a writ ten list of all your passwords and acc ounts and the websites on which they are found, so your benef iciaries will be able to f ind them in c ase of an emergency.

The f irst thing a person needs to understand that when dealing with the digital world and its resources, is that some of these resources or acc ounts c an be as valuable as a bank account. If someone passes away, it c an be ver y dif f icult to access these possible electronic accounts with real world value by the benef iciaries of the deceased.

As we continue to enter an intersecting electronic and physic al world, this brand new f ield will become more set tled

A FanDuel or Draf tKings online gaming account can have tens of thousands of dollars in credit. This credit can be considered the same as c ash.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

BY DR. ANNABELLE DOOKIE, DPM AACFAS

Bunions

B

unions are more technically known as hallux abductovalgus.

People usually think of a bunion as a “bump” on the inside of their foot. However, the development of a bunion is much more complicated than this. A common misconception is that ill-fitted shoes and high heels cause bunions. However, the general consensus is that genetics and biomechanical factors (ex. excessive pronation) contribute to bunion formation.

With a bunion, the bone on the inside of your foot (1st metatarsal), begins to splay outward. This in turn causes the big toe to move in the opposite direction. Because of this movement, the joint become maligned. Because the joint is not in its proper position, over time, arthritis can develop in the joint. Bunions are progressive and as the deformity becomes severe, the bump becomes more noticeable and the big toe can cross over the 2nd toe. Sometimes the bump itself becomes painful when it rubs against shoes.

A bursa (fluid filled sac) can form over the bump and can become inflamed (bursitis).

Bunions are diagnosed clinically and with x-rays. Your foot & ankle specialist will be able to determine the severity of your bunion and which procedure is best should you require surgery.

Bunions are treated both conservatively and surgically. The severity of the patient’s symptoms will determine the treatment. Surgery is not recommended unless the bunion interferes with the patient’s daily activities. Conservative treatment options include accommodating the deformity. This is accomplished by wearing shoes with a wider toe box, padding, custom made orthotics, cortisone injections, and antiinflammatory medications.

Shailesh Gupta, MD

Drew Bawcombe, MD

The only way to “get rid” of the bunion is through surgery. There are many different surgical procedures for a bunion and these will depend on your x-rays. One of the most common procedures is an Austin bunionectomy. This is when the bump is shaved down. Then a “V” cut is made on the side of the bone. The bone is then shifted over and secured with 1 or 2 screws. This is an outpatient procedure that takes approximately 30-45 minutes. You can walk on your foot the same day of surgery (on your heel) in a surgical shoe

Do your hands give away your age?

T

he focus of anti-aging procedures often rests in rejuvenation of the face. A person’s hands are often neglected, and therefore remain a tell-tale sign of aging.

The hands are continuously BEFORE RADIESSE AFTER* RADIESSE exposed to environmental elements. There are distinct signs of aging seen in one’s hand appearance. Characteristics that are treatable with minimally invasive procedures include visible tendons, the bony appearance, visible/ prominent veins along with skin pigmentation changes and wrinkles. These changes occur as a result of progressive thinning of the skin overlying the back of the hand with increased skin laxity and loss of soft tissue volume. ®

Female, Age 59, Fitzpatrick Type III

®

*Individual results may vary.

INDICATION

RADIESSE® injectable implant is FDA-approved for hand augmentation to correct volume loss in the dorsum of the hands.

See Important Safety Information. Provided courtesy of Merz North America, Inc.

EM01501-00

Rejuvenation of aging hands involves two distinct factors. Firstly, treatment of the overlying skin to remove age spots, pigmentation, and skin wrinkling or laxity, and secondly restoration of lost volume through soft tissue volume enhancement.

Ideal hand rejuvenation is achieved by replenishing your skin’s lost volume. The only FDA approved injectable filler for volume restoration in the hands is Radiesse®. This volumizing filler immediately provides the volume and lift that is necessary to diminish the signs of aging hands because of the calcium-based microspheres and gel that comprise this product.

This filler acts as a scaffold beneath the skin after it is injected providing the structure and stimulating your own natural collagen to grow. This process continues for several months after Radiesse® is injected, extending the initial effect lasting more than a year to achieve long-lasting hand rejuvenation after a single treatment. By adding volume beneath the skin, Radiesse® raises the skin level so that tendons, joints and veins lose their prominence. Radiesse® is safe, effective and a non-surgical treatment which provides immediate smoothing of wrinkles, scars and replenishes soft tissue volume loss. Radiesse® doesn’t require allergy testing. The procedure is done with topical anesthesia, with injections taking between ten and fifteen minutes. There may be minor swelling, redness or bruising at the site of the injection, which typically resolves within one or two days.

The Radiesse® hand lift is the latest procedure that utilizes microspheres of calcium hydoxyapatite to restore a more youthful appearance to the aging hands. Other procedures can be done in conjunction with Radiesse® hand lifts, such as chemical peels and laser rejuvenation to reduce age spots and improve skin texture.

A weekend packed with art, crafts and entertainment for all ages is planned for the inaugural Tamarac Arts & Crafts Festival.

By Shannon PeaSe “We are creating history having the first outdoor arts and crafts festival in Tamarac,” said Peter Mason, executive director of the Tamarac Chamber of Commerce.

The free, two-day outdoor event will take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 2nd and 3rd in the vicinity of the Tamarac Community Center at 8601 W. Commercial Blvd.

The event, designed to bring local residents of all generations together, is presented by the Tamarac Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the City of Tamarac. About 50 local vendors will display arts and crafts and sell handmade items and other goods during the festival. Exhibitors include artists who will sell paintings and other forms of art as well as vendors featuring jewelry, home and garden items, pet accessories and farmers’ market-style food. Posters commemorating the inaugural event will also be sold during the festival.

Entertainment including music, dancing, comedy and more, will take place throughout each day on the City stage. There will also be food trucks and a kids’ zone with a number of art-related interactive activities for children to try.

“It’s designed for residents and visitors…to show them that this is a great place,” Mason said. “We want it to have a hometown feel.”

The Tamarac Chamber has 175 members and two full time staff members.

The Chamber is involved in other events including Taste of Tamarac, health expos, business expos and other annual and monthly events.

Vendor space for the Tamarac Arts and Crafts Festival is still available and exhibitor opportunities for a 10X10 space are offered throughout the month of March.

PET OF THE MONTH WINNERS Sponsored by Joey

Sadie

J

oey is a four-year-old black Labrador retriever. He is a 98-pound rescue dog and he is the friendliest, lovable dog you will ever meet. It’s hard to say who his favorite person is because he loves everyone. He is not the typical dog because he thinks he is a person. His favorite thing to do is to sneak out of the house or to dig under the fence and just take off. As soon as he gets close to a human being he gets on his back and he wants a belly rub. Everyone just loves him. And then he comes home. He loves running and he also loves being cuddled. He was last seen laying on his daddy’s lap in front of the TV.

adie is a 5-year-old male Bichon. There is no toy in the world, big or small, she doesn’t love and play with. She adores my wife who feeds her and takes her on very long walks every morning. She loves me too, but not as much as my wife even though I’m the one, secretly, giving her snacks at the dinner table. She loves riding in the car and sits like queen on the console looking around while observing the traffic. Taking her to the park is a sight to be seen; she runs as fast as could be, and when she does her ears turn up and looks like an airplane about to take off. Our one true love, SADIE

utchie is fifteen years old. She is a beautiful and colorful Meyers Parrot.

Butchie is always making sweet kissing sounds and has a great personality.

She is very friendly and sociable. Her favorite toy has many little bells on it, and she likes the soft sounds that they make.

She loves to dance and enjoys riding in the car. She was last seen at our next door neighbor’s 96th birthday party.

Margate City Commission congratulate Comm. Simone on graduation.

MARGATE, FL (January 14, 2016) – City of Margate Mayor Tommy Ruzzano and the City Commission recognized Commissioner Joanne Simone for her recent graduation from The Good Government Initiative’s Leaders of Excellence Program Class V. The program, which was founded by former Miami-Dade County Commissioner Katy Sorenson, is designed to work with elected officials in South Florida to help them further develop the skills they need to be effective public officials. The Leaders of Excellence curriculum focuses on topics such as ethics, budget and finance, media relations, economic development, working with constituents, land use and more.

“Being a member of this class was such a valuable experience. As an elected official, you tend to jump in and you have to fend for yourself,” Simone said. “This class gave us the opportunity to learn from other elected officials and a place where we could get honest, unbiased feedback. It was tough, but I am so glad I was able to attend. I am a better elected official because of it, and I will continue to strive to be the best for my City.”

According to the Good Government Initiative website, state and local elected officials from Broward, Palm Beach, Monroe and Miami-Dade Counties are eligible to apply and the course takes place in venues around the region. Participants work in a retreat/workshop format with current and former elected and appointed officials, academics, journalists, community leaders, lobbyists, and others, as well as a cohort of fellow elected officials. Throughout the class, the participants are able to have open exploration and frank, honest conversation on a variety of topics.

Everyone has a story to tell.

The Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation Technique™

A

breakthrough in Plastic Gum Surgery is finally here. The Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation Technique™ , better known as the Lunch-Time Gum Treatment™, is a non-invasive procedure invented by Dr. John Chao D.D.S,M.A.D.G. It was invented to correct receding gum lines that so many people suffer from. This revolutionary technique is becoming very popular in today’s dentistry because it has replaced the much painful and long healing treatment of traditional gum grafting surgery. This surgery can be very painful and requires 3-4 weeks for healing. With the Pinhole Surgical Technique™, the dentist makes a small .01 inch incision using a specially designed instrument bringing the gum line back to its normal position. This is done without the use of a scalpel, needles, or sutures, and the gums are preserved with a special collagen material.

What are the benefits of Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique (PST™)?

The benefits of the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique are many: • Less discomfort for the patient after treatment • Faster recovery for the patient than traditional grafting • No need for uncomfortable sutures • No need for scalpels or invasive surgical tools • No need to take donor tissue from the patient’s palate • Excellent, natural-looking, long-lasting results This procedure is so easy a patient can come in on their lunch hour and be back to their desk working in a little over an hour with minimal discomfort.

The actual pinhole is considerably healed in 24 hours without sutures needed most of the time. Using the Pinhole Surgical Technique™ it can

stabilize gums that suffer from irregular or abnormal tooth position, genetics, periodontal disease, and over aggressive brushing. Another culprit of gum recession is caused by heavy grinding of your teeth. When you grind your teeth it flexes the neck of your teeth causing what is known as an abfraction.

This can lead to microscopic crystals that form the roots of your teeth to break off little by little. Eventually your gums will recede as the underlying root surface is lost. If you are a clencher or grinder, The Pinhole Surgical Technique™ may be your answer to stop the annoying sensitivity you suffer from. Over many studies of The Pinhole Surgical Technique™, the patients reported that their post- operative symptoms were minimal and they didn’t have a large need for pain medication and the effectiveness of the Pinhole Rejuvenation Technique™ was over 95%. Currently there are only around 1,000 dentists in the world specifically trained in The Pinhole Surgical Technique™.

So if you, or someone you know is sensitive to cold, sweets or you don’t want to smile anymore because of your unsightly recession, “The Pinhole Surgical Technique™” may be for you.

Dr. Candace R. Colella D.M.D.,P.A. , the sole owner and dentist of Colella Cosmetic Dentistr y in Coconut Creek Florida has been practicing for over 20 years. Her dental practice has always strived for the highest level of excellence in treating her patients’ dental needs.

Her training in the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique™ certifies her as one of the 1,000 dentists in the world per forming this dental procedure.

COMMUNITY NEWS

Bob Levinson

T

wo weeks ago, the nation rejoiced as news broke that four Americans held by Iran would finally be returned to their families. Yet Robert Levinson of Coral Springs, who went missing from Iran’s Kish Island in March 2007, was not part of the deal.

“Bob Levinson of Coral Springs is the longest held hostage in American history, and yet he was not among the four American imprisoners recently released by Iran. While it is wonderful that four families were able to feel the joy of being reunited with their loved ones, the Levinsons deserve to feel that same joy. We must redouble our efforts to find Bob and bring him home.”

Bob Levinson had traveled to Iran to meet with contacts for a case he had been working. As has widely been reported in the news media, Bob was a 28-year veteran of the FBI and DEA – Congressman Ted Deutch who had been on contract with the CIA. In 2010, the Levinsons received a video of Bob in which he asks the United States government to help him. In 2011, the family received pictures of Bob dressed in an orange jumpsuit.

Congressman Ted Deutch, who represents the Levinson family and our South Florida community in Washington, has been a vocal advocate for Bob’s release.

“For the Levinsons, finding out that Bob wasn’t among those coming home in the recent prison exchange was devastating and disheartening,” said Deutch. “Iran must immediately provide the U.S. with any and all information regarding Bob and help us bring him home to his family,” As Congressman Deutch continues his efforts in Washington, we can help build momentum and support the Levinson family in this incredibly difficult time.

In his address to the nation on January 16th President Obama said, ““Even as we rejoice in the safe return of others we will never forget about Bob. Each and every day but especially today our hearts are with the Levinson family and we will never rest until their family is whole again.”

The community must come together to support one of its own. If you’d like to help get Bob home, contact White House at 202-456-1111 and tell the President to make Bob’s release a priority. You may also write to the following address:

The President The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20500.
