*Tooth whitening is not a good choice for all people. If you have tooth decay or gum disease, treatment will be necessary before whitening. Crowns, veneers, bonding and some stains cannot be changed by tooth whitening. Must present coupon. Cannot be combined with insurance or other offers or promotions. Offer expires 9/30/2017

Dr. McGuffie offers Free Cosmetic Dental Consultations Saturday and Evening Appointments Available By Request

First, what is tooth bleaching or teeth whitening? To over simplif y, t ypically either a hydrogen peroxide or a carbamide peroxide is applied to the teeth and held onto the teeth for a time suf f icient to allow the peroxide to enter the tooth structure. As you know, teeth have a pret t y hard sur face so it takes time for the peroxide to penetrate and do its work. This permanently lightens the tooth structure! If we never ate again, our teeth would remain that shade. But that ’s not possible, therefore future re -staining does occur. So how long whitening lasts will depend strongly on your diet and habits af ter bleaching.

There are dif ferent formulas for dif ferent t ypes of teeth and some stains deep in the tooth structure may take much longer, so speed and results can var y greatly from person to person. Dr. McGuf f ie can judge what t ype of formula will work best for your teeth.

As far as sensitivit y, any and all whitening procedures can cause some sensitivit y. A general rule is the stronger the bleach, the faster the bleaching, and the more likely there will be sensitivit y. If the teeth are already ver y sensitive, strong bleaching procedures could even be painful. These side ef fects are rarely permanent and usually resolve within days of cessation of bleaching. To decrease the amount of sensitivit y, there are formulations that incorporate desensitizers and some systems that use a separate desensitizing gel which can be alternated with the bleach.

So, most people are candidates for bleaching if they want a brighter smile. There are situations in which bleaching should not be done, such as if crowns, veneers or front f illings are in place. They will NOT change color with bleaching. Other wise, bleaching the teeth is a safe, easy way to brighten your smile.

Let Dr. McGuf f ie evaluate which method will work best for you ... so that you can show of f Your Whitest, Brightest Smile!

COMMUNITY NEWS LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

The Magazine That Cares

Happy 4th of July With so much happening this month, we salute our veterans who have helped make us what we are today, the greatest country in the world.

We are always striving to make your reading experience better and more enjoyable with each new issue, whether it be our magazines or on our digital platforms . This month we are re- branding ourselves as “THE MAGAZINE THAT CARES.” Our charitable efforts will be increased as we will be sponsoring all the Boca Chamber 30 days of Charity events for the month of August. Along with our regular charitable causes, we can’t wait and hope you will join us at some of the events.

Each month might feature a Priest, a Bishop, Reverend, Rabbi or Preacher that you follow.

This month will also start our FIND THE MISTAKE contest.

Every month, we will have 2 mistakes in every magazine.

The first 2 readers from each of our 3 magazines who contact us with our errors will each get a $25 gift certificate to a local restaurant.Read carefully.

Lastly,my favorite, our Pet section welcomes the Florida Humane Society, a Broward rescue shelter, to our 2 City News Broward pet section. You may want to visit them and the Tri-County Rescue Shelter in Boca and maybe come home with a new family member. Send us your favorite pet photo and look for it in our Pet Page.

Remember, starting in August, we will be starting our 2nd Annual Pet Halloween Costume Contest.

July will also showcase our first travel section. We were lucky enough to be invited as guests of the Diplomat Hotel in Hollywood. We loved our experience and you will find our review in our new TRAVEL SECTION.We want you,our readers to send us a story on your favorite vacation(500 words or less). We will post a new favorite each month. This section will be ideal for travel related advertisers.

We are glad you are enjoying our magazines and please send us your comments.

Our new GOD’S CORNER will feature a story of hope from our local Men of God. With today’s barrage of bad news, I hope some of their inspiration will rub off on me.

Don’t cage them up, let them run free! ®

ARE YOU AN INVESTOR OR TRADER?

C

Put your

paws on our new location!

haracterizing yourself as an investor or trader can have important tax consequences. Both investors and traders incur costs related to their activities, such as periodical subscriptions, clerical, bookkeeping, attending seminars and trading programs, due diligence, meeting expense, and expenses for professional services. All of these expenses are deductible somewhere on your tax return. Are they deductions from your gross income? Or are they production of income expenses, deductible as itemized deductions making them subject to multiple deduction phase out limitations? A deduction, from income is generally much more favorable than an itemized deduction. In many cases, itemized deductions result in little or no tax benefit.

If you can qualify as a trader, you will gain a tax advantage with respect to the deductibility of your expenses. A trader may deduct investment related expenses as business expenses, deductible from gross income, as they are engaged in a trade or business. Managing your own securities, regardless of the amount of your investments, or the extent of your expenses, does not necessarily make you a trader. There are numerous Supreme Court, Tax Court, and IRS Rulings where mere investors have failed to be deemed traders.

Margate Location

3197 N SR7 Penn Dutch Plaza on 441

Leaving Town?

To be able to deduct your investment expenses as business expenses, you must establish that your activities rise to the level of carrying on a trade or business, you are then a trader. Traders may deduct their investment related expenses as business expenses, including allocable home office expenses if the home office is used regularly and exclusively as a principal place of business. Investors are not entitled to home office deductions.

Give your pets a vacation of their own!

So what tests must be met for one to be deemed a trader versus an investor? The Tax Court has established a two part test where both parts must be met in order to conclude that a taxpayer’s investment activities qualify as a trade or business. First the taxpayer’s trading must be substantial. Substantial is generally found to exist where one trades almost every day, numerous times a day. In and out transactions demonstrate that one is a trader, seeking profits from buying and selling securities on a regular basis. Secondly, as a trader, one seeks to profit from short term market swings, rather than from holding investments for long periods of time.

This of course means that short term trading gains are taxed as short term capital gains which carry the “regular” applicable tax rate, versus the long term capital gains rate, presently 20%.

If you report your activities as a trader and are selected for audit, your investment activities may be reviewed by the Internal Revenue Service to determine if a trade or business actually exists. Remember that both parts of the test must be met. There are numerous cases where investors have executed a significant number of transactions during the year, but their gains have been long term because they are in essence an investor. Taxpayers have been deemed investors even in cases where they have made over 1,000 trades a year, but their trading activities resulted in gains being substantially long term.

Kiddie Academy of Coral Springs Offers family-centered education

By Dale King

K

iddie Academy of Coral Springs is a family-based educational setting. Patricia Gonzalez and Natalee Lima are the owner/directors of the center that will mark seven years in the educational child care business come August.

It’s easy for them to create a family atmosphere at the educational center on Wiles Road. Patricia and Natalee are mother and daughter, and Natalee’s two daughters, age 6 and 3, both attend the school. Each has been taking part in the Kiddie Academy program since she was seven weeks old.

“We allow drop-offs and pick-ups any time during those periods,” said Natalee. Children can stay all day or any part of it.

Not only do parents have flexibility in pick-up and drop-off time, they are encouraged to “be as active as they want to be” in the children’s education.

“Quite a few parents and grandparents are volunteers,” she said. “They come in and read books to the children. It is truly family-oriented.”

Kiddie Academy is open to children from age six weeks to 12 years. “We do before-care and after-care. We offer our proprietary curriculum Life Essentials, which was developed at our corporate offices in Maryland. The goals of the curriculum are in line with those of the state of Florida, but actually meet a higher standard than those within the state.

Child care that fills youngsters’ days with learning, laughter and fun are the ingredients of the Life Essentials education system. The Kiddie Academy website says the program is designed to provide a holistic learning experience that helps children prepare for kindergarten through grade 12 – and beyond.

“We’re not your ordinary preschool,” said Natalee. “Our one-of-a-kind program includes family-style, hot-cooked meals, experienced instructors and a teaching curriculum that allows children to explore and thrive with their peers.”

She pointed out that learning is incorporated into all aspects of school, so every moment is actually a teachable moments. Kiddie Academy exposes students to a variety of subjects such as art, computers and lots of hands-on activities. But since everything involves fun, there is no specific line of distinction.

In addition to Natalee and Patricia, the school staff includes another director, Kimberlie Marcial, who began her work tenure in January, and Jo-Ann Van Der Merwe is an assistant director.

Natalee said the teachers are highly trained and meet or

exceed standards for education. She and her mother have created a welcoming environment for staff, parents and students.

The children learn through play and self-expression.

Communication is encouraged. Also, the walls of each classroom are filled with colorful art projects in each room.

“The environment created by their teachers is a loving and nurturing community fostering unique individuals and cooperative groups.”

Fun and academics mingle, so teaching takes place all the time. Subjects such as math, language arts and science are taught, and youngsters can also learn household arts – skills needed around the house.

Computers and programs geared specifically for young children are used at Kiddie Academy. “We have a media room with touch-screen computers. We offer Hatch, an early education program, and ABC Mouse, which provides educational games online. It’s a program most parents already know about.”

“Hearing children’s laughter throughout the day while they are playing and interacting with each other brings hope for the future. Today’s kids are tomorrow’s leaders. The curriculum is age-appropriate, with focus on skills for each age group.”

“We provide all the food groups,” Natalee said, “and make sure that every student gets a protein, a starch and a fruit at lunch time.” Strict attention is paid to food allergies. Kiddie Academy, she said, “is peanut-free. We are aware of dairy allergies and provide various types of milk. We also provide for needs of vegetarians.”

Special events are held throughout the year. One of the most popular is planned this month. At 10 a.m. on July 29, Kiddie Academy will hold its annual Story Time Live event, “when the public is invited to take part. We will read a book here as part of the activity, and Curious George plans to visit. You can online to register at KAStorytime.com.”

Youngsters also collect food and toys for needy children and families at various times during the year, and “the children also get to pick a charity so they will learn about giving.”

Safety is a top priority at Kiddie Academy. The facility has secure entry technology. In addition, classrooms have camera systems that allow parents to monitor their child’s movements throughout the day.

If you would like to see the Kiddie Academy difference and find out more information, please contact Natalee Lima or Patricia Gonzalez. You are also

By mingling with other children, Natalee said, “the children play off each other’s strengths.” In the end, all participants do well.

Kiddie Academy replaced the old cafeteria style of serving and eating with one that emphasizes nutritious food enjoyed in a family style setting where youngsters can talk while having their mid-day meal.

4th of July, War, and the American Spirit

By Christopher Kelly

A

s we pause to celebrate the anniversary of our nation’s independence, it seems appropriate to consider the vital role played by the American military in the creation and growth of our nation and its impact on our world.

Mexican-American War. How would World War II, for example, have been different? The Japanese would never have sunk the Arizona at Pearl Harbor to start the war, because Arizona would have belonged to Mexico. It is unlikely that American power, lacking California, would have even stretched to the Hawaiian Islands. Without Polk’s war, an American naval base at Pearl Harbor would likely never have been built. The atomic bomb would never have been dropped on Hiroshima to finish the war, as it could not have been tested at the Trinity site in New Mexico.

We are not a militaristic nation, but we are a nation that is deeply proud of our military.

We also are not a perfect people. We have made many mistakes. We have not always lived up to our noble ideals. It is important to remember what happened at Wounded Knee, My Lai, and Abu Ghraib. But we must also remember the amazing things the U.S military has done for our world.

It all began in Massachusetts with “the shot heard round the world” on Concord’s Old North Bridge. On April 19, 1775, British

Christopher Kelly

soldiers marched from Boston to Lexington and Concord to seize a cache of arms. They were confronted on the Lexington Green by citizen soldiers who were farmers, merchants, and tradesmen.

Liberty was not a gift of the English crown; she had to be taken by force with an armed rebellion.

Later that year, American forces invaded British Canada. My own ancestor, James Van Rensselaer, was a citizen soldier in the siege of Quebec, and his commanding officer was Benedict Arnold.

The American Revolution is often portrayed in rosy hues due to its remoteness and patriotic outcome. It was, in fact, a horrendously bloody conflict. Recent scholarship has placed the total number of Americans killed in the American Revolution at around 25,000. The total U.S population of the thirteen colonies in 1775 was 2.4 million. Thus, more than 1 percent of the population was killed over the course of the nearly eight-and-half-year war. Nearly 5 percent of the soldiers in the Continental Army were of African descent.

We fought Britain again in the War of 1812. The White House was burned, but Major General Andrew Jackson rallied a diverse band of soldiers that included African Americans, Native Americans, and even pirates to win the Battle of New Orleans - the final major battle of that war, which allowed the U.S. to keep the territory acquired through the Louisiana Purchase.

In 1846, President Polk launched a war against Mexico. This was and remains a controversial chapter in American history. Congressman Abraham Lincoln opposed the war. Henry David Thoreau refused to pay taxes to support the war, and was briefly jailed. Even Ulysses Grant, who fought in the war, condemned its prosecution in his memoirs. But without the Mexican-American War, the states of California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and New Mexico would never have been added to the Union. Without the Mexican-American War, the United States might never have become a coast-to-coast superpower.

Without that American superpower, the twin scourges of the twentieth century, fascism and communism, might never have been defeated.

Imagine for a moment a counterfactual history in which Polk did not fight the

14

JULY 2017

Just over a hundred years ago, in 1917, President Wilson led us into the “war to end all wars” in which the American Expeditionary Force turned the tide of battle against the Central Powers. American citizen soldiers (including my great-uncle Jack Wells, who served in the 27th Infantry Division) were shipped “over there,” ultimately helping to alter the course of history. By 1918, the German Kaiser was forced to abdicate his throne In 1941, following the Pearl Harbor attack, Americans would again be called on to make an indelible mark on the world through fighting on foreign shores, this time against Hitler and Imperial Japan. Just over 72 years ago, American soldiers liberated Nazi concentration camps like Buchenwald and Dachau, thereby helping to end the Holocaust. Without American invasions at places like the beaches of Omaha and Anzio, the world would undoubtedly be a darker place.

Since World War II, American forces have remained engaged with Europe, garrisoning the nations of former adversaries during the Cold War. NATO, the most successful alliance in history, was founded, and the Cold War was won without a shot being fired.

Today we face the threat of global terror networks that have perpetrated horrors in, among other places, Manchester and London in the United Kingdom, and Orlando, Florida, in the United States. We confront ISIS in the Middle East. North Korea’s Kim Jung Un continues to develop weapons that could be capable of striking our homeland. And Putin’s Russia rearms at home and attempts to disrupt electoral processes in the West.

Our adversaries and allies alike must know that Americans do not love war for war’s sake. To do so is the definition of fascism. We are, and always have been reluctant warriors. But, we are a nation that is deeply attached to liberty and independence. When provoked, we know how to fight, and we will persevere until victory and an enduring peace is won.

Thanks to the courage and sacrifice of those American patriots who have served in our military in the past and those that serve today, we are able to celebrate the 4th of July and to continue to confront the challenges that face us around the world.

Humanity seems to be obsessed with love.

This makes sense, since the only person who would say, “I don’t care about love; I don’t want any love,” would not be someone who was healthy or balanced.

“All you need is love,” the Beatles sang (and then they broke up).

“What the world needs now is love, sweet love,” sang another popular song (but the wars go on).

So this love thing, this mysterious, elusive thing we all chase after but which seems to be so lacking in our world, exactly what is it? Where is it? How do we find it? How do we get it?

When most people think of love they think of two things: They think of a romantic thing between a man and woman, and they think of warm, fuzzy feelings.

“Ah! I’m in love!”

But, in fact, there is a difference between love and “being in love”.

sacrifice your own life for another. Can’t give up more than that!

Marriage has always been based on a commitment between a man and woman to love each other “’till death do us part”, or, in other words, total commitment based on a choice.

But this confusion about love and warm, fuzzy feelings tends to sabotage that commitment.

A couple feel strong, warm, fuzzy feelings for each other, so they get married, expecting (or at least, hoping) that these feelings will last forever.

But feelings come and go, influenced by everything from moods to diet to weather to state of health.

Someone said, “Feelings don’t last; good cookin’ do!”

A woman once went to a divorce lawyer.

“I want to divorce that creep and take him for all he’s worth. I want him to hurt as much as he’s hurt me!”

The lawyer said, “If you really want to hurt him, do this. Go home and for the next 3 months, treat him like a king. Cook all his favorite foods, meet him at the door with a hug and kiss, make love to him whenever he wants, laugh at all his jokes, don’t criticize anything he does.”

The woman said, “Are you kidding? I hate that creep!”

When I was young, the warm, fuzzy feeling thing between two youngsters was called “infatuation”, to distinguish it from the “real” love that occurred between two adults.

The lawyer said, “Yes, but after 3 months of treating him like that, when you suddenly divorce him, he’ll be utterly destroyed!”

But, in fact, love is not a feeling; it is an intention, a desire, a choice.

The woman said, “I see! Yes, that sounds perfect!”

Someone once said, “Love is wanting the best for someone, whether you like them or not.”

Three months later, the lawyer phoned the woman. “Are you ready to start the divorce proceedings?”

Someone else said, “Unconditional love is wanting someone’s good so much you’d give up your own to see them get it.”

“Divorce?!” The woman exclaimed, “Are you kidding? I’ve never been so in love in my life!”

This unconditional aspect is what sets love apart from warm, fuzzy feelings.

The choice of love produces the feelings of love, not the other way around.

Jesus once said that the greatest love (the most unconditional love) was to

“Varicose Veins are more than skin deep”

BY RACHEL GALVIN

O

ur body does so much day in and day out, and most of that work goes unseen. Our veins have an important job, carrying our blood back and forth to our heart only to be pumped out again. As we age, this daily toil can become more apparent as veins reveal themselves like road maps, especially on our legs. When they become deeper and wider, such as the case of varicose veins, that is when it can be cause for concern.

Not only can varicose veins be unsightly, but they also can be a signal that something else is happening within the body to cause them. Each vein has a tiny valve that helps it do its job, but there can be leaks and the valve can malfunction causing the blood to back up and the vein to bulge. Sometimes, having varicose veins can mean the person with them has cardiovascular problems.

Many people will seek out a doctor to get rid of the unsightly veins, but sometimes the doctor they consult with is more of a plastic surgeon or dermatologist and does not probe deeper to understand the root cause of the issue. But Dr. Ariel Soffer, M.D., FACC, knows “varicose veins are more than skin deep.” He is board certified in cardiovascular disease and, for over 20 years, he has focused his practice on aspects of the cardiovascular system, especially varicose veins.

According to company spokesperson Adam Kustin, people who have issues with their veins often complain of achy legs or numbness, among other symptoms. In order to ascertain the underlying problem, patients who come into our office undergo an ultrasound.

“You and I can walk in and both have the same degree of problems with our veins] and there is no way to tell [the underlying issue] based on the surface,” says Kustin. “It is important to see a doctor.”

sclerotherapy, we inject a saline solution and the blood is magically redirected. It depends on the severity,” he says. “The laser is super accurate and highly effective. It is a low risk procedure.”

Compression socks might be used in recovery as well, Kustin adds.

He said that one of the big culprits is inactivity.

“When you are on your feet eight to 12 hours a day, not moving ... inactivity is the biggest culprit, or sitting with legs crossed...It also can be genetic,” he says.

Mr. Kustin explained that exercising and elevating your legs periodically will help with blood flow. He also recommended compression socks, which he said act like a reverse funnel redirecting blood to the heart. Also weight management is important.

The procedure to fix varicose veins can be relatively simple. Most procedures involve closing the vein, sometimes repairing it.

“If it is a secondary or tertiary vein, we can close it up; a laser heats it and clamps it shut. If we do

Besides working with veins, The Soffer Health Institute also handle other cardiovascular issues, including primary care, everything from allergies to working with weight management. They work with senior care and also have a concierge service, which allows patients basically to “pay for play,” getting special services like having no wait time, obtaining greater access to the doctor, getting an annual physical and more.

Dr. Soffer also keeps his staff up-to-date with the latest medical developments and shares his knowledge on an ABC News Health segment called “Dr. Soffer’s Second Opinion,” and elsewhere.

954.900.9248 Soffer Health Institute began in Aventura and now there are several locations, including one in Deerfield Beach at 1877 W. Hillsboro Blvd. They plan to open a Weston location next. Members of the staff speaks Spanish, Russian, Hebrew, Creole and Portuguese. For more information, call 305-792-0555 or visit www.sofferhealth.com.

LEGALLY SPEAKING

BY ALAN J. REINDFELD, ESQ

Why do young families need a Revocable Trust?

I

n today’s society, it is important to plan for the future of your family. Every day, tragedy happens, from car accidents to people being diagnosed with cancer. It is important that there are plans to take care of your family in case the unexpected happens. Take me for example: my mother passed away from cancer in about four weeks, but because we had a trust I was able to focus more on her and healing then on the financial matters.

A revocable trust is a legal document that creates a plan of distribution of a person’s assets. A person sets up a revocable trust, i.e., a “living trust,” during his or her lifetime, which becomes irrevocable upon their death. This means that the person has the power to amend or revoke the trust only during his or her lifetime. During the person’s life, the beneficiaries may include the person him/herself, his or her spouse, children or other close relatives. Once the person passes away, the property that is titled to the trust is distributed pursuant to the terms of the trust.

What are the benefits of having a revocable trust?

•

•

Quick transfer of assets. A properly drafted revocable trust can help the decedent’s family avoid the time-consuming probate process. The person must retitle his or her assets into the trust; this is called “funding” the trust. If assets are not transferred to the trust prior to the person’s death, the only way to transfer any assets to the trust will be through probate.

Avoid Probate. At a minimum, probate administration will take over six months and the cost can be thousands of dollars.

•

Privacy. A revocable trust is a private document that does not require filing with the court. A will, however, is a public document that must be deposited with the court after the decedent’s death.

•

Trust assets are not subject to creditors. Assets properly put into a revocable trust are not subject to most creditors. When a probate administration is opened, creditors may try to claim the money owed to them by filing a claim on the probate assets.

•

Focus on mourning. Avoiding probate and quickly wrapping up the affairs of the deceased helps focus on mourning rather than probate administration.

•

Name a person who will handle your affairs. A revocable trust along with a proper will allows a person to designate who will handle their affairs once they pass away.

•

Reduction of estate taxes. While a trust is not a tax savings tool, there may be some provisions included in the trust that allows you to transfer your wealth by establishing a credit shelter trust in the event of death.

COMMUNITY NEWS PET OF THE MONTH

A TRIBUTE TO SAMANTHA SPIELMAN

T

his month we had to put our 18-year-old rescue dog, Samantha down.

That decision was not an easy one to make. When is the right time? I cried as we took her to our local vet so Sammy would not have to suffer any more.

While she was still functioning, at what point in her life do we say “Enough”. At our local veterinarian, everyone there was so compassionate and condolences were given. After I wiped away my tears and said my goodbye to Sammy, it was over. Instead of mourning her death, I want to celebrate her life.

The pet article this month was penned by a very popular Parkland Veterinarian, Dr. Jeffrey Sands DVM. He wrote about having to put his dog, Tucker, down. If you own a dog, most likely you will have to make the same decision I was forced to. WHEN? You should just enjoy the time spent together and the smiles they put on your face. Cleaning up after them is a small price to pay for such love.

Dogs, and all pets, are amazing animals that give us such joy and unconditional love, that without them, many of us would be lost. Therapy dogs, service dogs, pedigrees, and all the way until you get to what mine was, a mixed rescue dog. While I love and contribute to almost every charity I find, animal rescue shelters have a special place in my heart. The Spielman family is now down to only 2 dogs, a schnoodle and a standard poodle. I have a very allergic son or all my dogs would be rescue dogs.

Should Your Pet Be our Pet of the Month?

This month’s pictures will all be from our crew. I promise next month we will be back with the photos that you, our readers send in.

Keep on sending them. Please note that our 2nd Annual Halloween Pet Costume Contest will be starting next month with our August Pet Section. Send us your favorite pics of your costumed furry friends. All breeds and types of animals are eligible. Yes, even fish if you could get them into a costume. $50 first prize still works. Thank you for allowing me this indulgence over Sammy.

ast week, after many sleepless nights, I had to make the fateful decision to put down my beloved 18 year old dog, Samantha. Samantha, a very mixed breed, adopted from a local rescue shelter 16 years ago, had become a loving member of my family. It was a very trying time for all of us and we would like to share the experience with you, our readers who like me, are devoted pet lovers who love our PET SECTION and will probably be facing this very same issue in there future.

I am dedicating this month’s Pet Section to Samantha and what she has meant to our family. What an adorable and fun-loving puppy she was. As the years went by, we do not realize what joy and love a pet can bring into your home until they leave this world. I have spoken to many people about the end of life situation all of us as pet owners have to go through. While I was being swamped with condolences and compassion, it hit me that we should be celebrating all the wonderful moments we spent with Sammy. We now have only 2 large dogs in our home as great pet can make a house a home. I spoke to many Veterinarians about putting Samantha down and Dr. Jeffrey Sands, DVM of the Parkland Animal Hospital summed it up wonderfully in his story below. We were lucky that while the average life span of a rescue mixed dog is around 12-14 years, we were fortunate enough to get 16+ great years with Sammy.

Your Pets Will Love Us, We “Shih-Tzu” Not!

BY DR. JEFFREY SANDS D.V.M In my career of over 30 years I’ve had to euthanize many pets mostly due to sickness and age. It’s always been a difficult part of the profession I love.

When you bring a pet into your life they bring you so much joy in the beginning, and great heartache in the end. Their lifespans are so short that we would do anything to make them live longer. Part of my job is to make sure that pet owners know when their time is up, and that it’s ok to let them go. Yesterday, I had to make that very difficult decision to put down my own pet, Tucker. I became the pet owner not just a veterinarian. The pain was unbearable for my family, but my decision was to make my friend of 14 years not suffer. So when is the time right?

Did I do the right thing? My answer as his companion since he was a puppy?

You’ll know in your heart. The look he gives you, the sparkle in his eyes is gone.

You can feel it. You resist and hope for another day. Listen to your heart. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your life.

Summer Safety Tips – Play It Safe and Have Fun in the Sun Ahhh. Those lazy, hazy days of summer. The kids are running around outside, and the smell of food siz zling on the grill drif ts through the air. Summer has of f icially arrived. But wait – before you cool of f in the water or get ready for a delicious picnic, check out these safet y tips so your fun -f illed season doesn’t include a trip to the hospital emergency room.

Keep your cool and drink lot s of water to avoid heat- related illness. Don’t wait until you’re thirst y to drink. Heat cramps, of ten c aused by dehydration, can progress to heat exhaustion and potentially fatal heat stroke. To protect yourself against the heat, stay indoors as much as possible, wear loose -f it ting, light weight clothes; eat well - balanced, light meals; and avoid strenuous work during ex treme heat.

Be water wise and teach your children to swim. At the pool, swim under lifeguard super vision and obey all rules. Stay away from water intakes, drains or f ilters in pools and hot tubs since long hair or clothing c ould become entangled. At the lake, river or beach, swim only in designated areas. Don’t dive into shallow water and risk neck injuries or paralysis. If you get caught in an ocean current, swim parallel to shore and wait for the current to lessen. Remember that alcohol and water don’t mix when it comes to swimming, diving and boating.

Bake a cake, not your skin. Tr y to limit sun exposure during peak times (generally 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and apply sunscreen at least 20 to 30 minutes before you hit the beach or pool and reapply ever y t wo hours. If you do have sunburn, tr y taking a c ool bath or shower, applying aloe gel or other soothing lotion, or taking aspirin or ibuprofen to reduce inf lammation. Redness and pain associated with sunburn may not appear immediately, but you could feel the ef fects of blisters and peeling skin for days. Severe reactions, which can include fever, chills, nausea or rash, may require medical at tention.

Have fun throwing the ball, not throwing out your back or shoulder. Before you star t exercising to get in swimsuit shape, check with your doctor. Then make sure you have the right equipment, including properly f it ting shoes. Star t slowly to avoid overuse injuries such as tendonitis and be sure to drink lots of water. Don’t forget warm - up and stretching exercises.

Enjoy a juicy slice of watermelon, dive into a cool pool and build your best sandc astle. You can’t remove all the risks but by put ting safet y f irst and following a few simple steps, you can enjoy your summer and make lots of happy memories.

And if an accident does happen, West Boca Medical Center ’s emergency room is available 24 - hours a day to get you and your family back on track for summer fun. If your condition is not urgent, avoid an unnecessar y wait and check in to our ER online at westboc amedctr.c om/check- in.

Are You Getting Enough Protein in Your Diet?

Fewer calories, more protein is a winning combo for weight loss and healthy aging

D

o you pay attention to how much protein you eat at each meal? A new study suggests that when it comes to weight loss and healthy aging, getting enough protein at mealtimes is important.

Duke University researchers found obese women who ate adequate or high amounts of protein, including nutrient-rich lean pork, as part of a six month weight-loss diet not only lost weight, they improved their ability to get around, too.

“There’s no magic bullet when it comes to weight loss,” said Connie Bales, PhD, professor in medicine at Duke University. “But our research suggests a higher-protein, lowercalorie diet, including lean pork, could be a viable solution – especially for older women who are most at risk.”

While most Americans eat the majority of their protein at dinner, researchers suggest there could be benefits to spreading protein throughout the day. In this study, women ate 30 grams of protein at each meal with two of the meals including lean pork. Choices like tenderloin, low-sodium ham, chops and lean ground pork are among the seven cuts of pork that meet the USDA guidelines for “lean” by containing less than 10 grams of fat, 4.5 grams of saturated fat and 95 milligrams of cholesterol per 100 grams of meat. In fact, pork tenderloin has the same amount of fat as a skinless chicken breast.

The next time you fire up your grill, try these lemon-basil pork chops. Serve up 30 grams of tasty protein for dinner, while tapping into the flavors of summer.

Visit porkbeinspired.com and Smithfield.com for more pork-inspired recipes, intriguing flavors and nutritional information.

Grilled Lemon-Basil Pork Chops with Lemon-Basil Orzo Serves: 4 4 3 2 5 1 1/2 8

bone-in ribeye (rib) pork chops, about 3/4-inch thick small lemons tablespoons olive oil cloves garlic, minced tablespoons fresh basil, chopped ounces orzo salt, to taste pepper, to taste

Zest and juice lemons. In small bowl, combine lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and basil. Set aside 3 tablespoons of mixture. Transfer remaining mixture to large resealable bag and add pork. Set aside for 30 minutes, turning occasionally.

Meanwhile, prepare orzo according to package directions. Drain and return orzo to pot. Stir in reserved lemon-basil mixture and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

Prepare a grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil grate. Remove pork from marinade; discard marinade. Season pork with salt and pepper and grill until internal temperature reaches 145 F, about 4 minutes per side.

Remove chops from grill and let rest 3 minutes.

Serve chops with orzo.

T

he Margate Fire Explorers showed off their skills at this years 17th annual Fire Explorer Competition. The competition, held at the Coral Springs Fire Academy, on June 4th, was attended by 9 cities from several areas of South Florida.

The explorers compete in 9 strenuous events, that test their knowledge and skills, that they learn during the year.

The Margate explorers placed 1st, in the first aid event, 1st in the Combat Challenge, 2nd in the Barrel push, and 3rd in Hose Deployment, giving them the honor of placing 4th overall. The explorers have entered this event for over 10 years and have placed 1st overall for more then half of those years.

Nancy Moser, one of the advisors for the post, says that the kids look forward to this event every year and are proud to show their city what the explorer program teaches them. “They learn leadership, discipline, and respect, in addition to skills needed to become a firefighter”, says Ms Moser.

There will be a recruiting meeting on September 9, 2017, from 10 am. to 12:00 p.m., at fire station 98 (at 5395 NW 24th st- Margate) for any teen ages 14-18,

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 Flow-Through Investment Activities: Many taxpayers, seeking greater investment returns, invest in flow through entities formed as hedge or private equity funds. Each year you receive a Schedule K-1 reporting your allocable flow through information. Hedge funds may be characterized as a trade or business trading securities, if they separately satisfy the tests for being a trader. If such is the case, your Schedule K-1 will report your flow through information characterized as a trading activity. If you receive a Schedule K-1 reporting your flow-through activities as a trader, a statement attached to the Schedule will most likely describe this trading activity status to assist you in properly reporting your flow-through information. If the hedge fund treats itself as a long-term investor, the reporting will come through showing the gains and losses as other than trading results.

Private equity funds, on the other hand, are generally long-term investors, which dictates that all tax consequences flow through as investment income and expenses. Schedule K-1’s from private equity investments generally report their expenses as miscellaneous itemized deductions, since they cannot be netted with income and thus be deductible “above the line”.

Taxpayers must report all flow-through income from Schedule K-1’s, whether it is a hedge fund or private equity investment, consistent with the Schedule K-1 they receive. In addition, if you participate in a hedge fund deemed to be a trader, you cannot group this activity with your personal trading activity to gain an advantage for your personal investments.

Whether one is a trader or investor is an important distinction with potentially significant tax consequences. If you believe your trading activities are so substantial they rise to a trade or business, you should explore the opportunity to treat your expenses as fully deductible business expenses, not subject to income phase out limitations. If you and your tax advisor determine, based upon your personal situation, that you are a trader, you might consider disclosing this position in a statement attached to your tax return, to avoid the imposition penalties which might be imposed upon audit.

If you are taking significant expenses, either on a net basis, or as specific deductions “above the line”, your return might be red flagged as a candidate for examination. You should consider your filing options carefully, since the time and expense of a Federal or State tax examination, even if you prevail, could equal or exceed the benefits you might gain from taking an aggressive tax position.
