The Magazine That Cares

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Enjoy The Magazine

Master Roberto Baptista, program Director of KungFu Connection, a North Miami traditional Chinese martial arts school that is opening a new location in Coral Springs at 7830 Wiles Road, was invited to serve as Vice Chairman of the Technical Committee of the United States KungFu Wushu Federation (USAWKF) to select the US Team that shall attend the 7th World KungFu Championships to be held in November 7 – 11, in E’mei City - China. The selection will occur during the US National in Texas.

The 7th World KungFu Championships (7th WKFC) is the official world level event.

It is organized by The Chinese Wushu Association under the auspices of the IWUF, both organizations based in Beijing, China. The WKFC takes place biennially and features thousands of competitors in all age groups competing in a wide variety of divisions.

Master Roberto Baptista is definitely qualified for the task, as he is a direct disciple of the world famous Grandmaster Chan Kwok Wai and inheritor of one of the more pure lineages of Traditional KungFu, including Northern Shaolin (Bei Shaolinquan), Tai-Chi-Chuan (Taijiquan) and Chi Kung (Qigong), among others styles.

While at its core Traditional KungFu was originated in China as a method of attack and defense, its practice is deeply intertwined with ethical and moral principles. Its practice is aimed at preserving the principles, methods and legacies of previous generations.

Traditional KungFu includes hand, leg, wrestling and locking techniques. It also includes an extremely vast array of traditional weaponry, which has been handed down from masters to masters for many generations.

People from all walks of life, gender, age or physical condition can practice Traditional KungFu. It is definitely worth giving a trial.

FINANCIAL / TAX ADVICE LEGALLY SPEAKING RoBERt SpIELmaN, Cpa, JD BYLINE HERE

ARE YOU AN INVESTOR OR TRADER?

C

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.

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.

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

12

JULY 2017

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

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

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.

HEALTH & WELLNESS Dr. Monique Bain

Rejuvenating with Dermarollers

E

veryone wants smoother, brighter and younger looking skin! The good news is that you can have it in 2017 without undergoing expensive and risky cosmetic surgery. The new treatment using derma rollers has gained massive popularity. These professional skin needling treatments are an established procedure showing clinical skin improvements and have celebrities like Demi Moore, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow using it for healthy and tighter looking skin. The treatments are gentle, pain free and the best part of all, they are completely natural. The derma roller is used to treat face, neck and body for rejuvenation, fine lines, acne scarring and stretch marks. The skin responds to treatment by naturally producing collagen which your skin needs to stay firm and regenerate scar tissue. New skin cells are generated over a process taking a few weeks to enhance overall structure. Patients get the benefits of new collagen and your skin care will be more effective. The procedure makes micro fine holes in your skin in the same way you might irrigate a lawn and it allows active ingredients to penetrate your skin more effectively. Many practitioners will use vitamins on the skin for stronger and faster results.

As we age our skin loses elasticity as collagen levels decline, leaving skin looking tired and lined. The derma roller procedure counteract this by stimulating collagen production. Furthermore, collagen production also visibly reduces the appearance of body stretchmarks.

Join Our Local Rotary Club of Coral Springs

The process is exactly the same whether you’re having the treatment done to the face or body. We first use a topical anesthetic cream or ice if the patient is very sensitive. The procedure takes 30 minutes from beginning to end. The derma roller penetrates the topmost layer of the skin. Our derma roller device allows the practitioner to adjust the needle depth throughout the treatment depending on the face or body area. The natural regeneration of the cells takes up to 6 weeks and leads to better looking skin. Immediately after the procedure the skin looks flushed and it may feel tighter than normal. The slight redness normally subsides within 1 to 2 hours following the procedure. The procedure also works in reducing hyperpigmentation, normalizing melanocytes and controlling abnormal formation of pigment. If you have any questions feel free to contact Five Element Wellness Center.

FINANCIAL / TAX ADVICE

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.

FAMILY MATTERS Dear Debbie and Karen,

I am writing to you with the hope that you can give me some direction as to how I can help my son. He’s a senior in high school, and does not know what he wants to do when he graduates. My husband and I insisted that he apply to college, and although he has been accepted to one school close to home, he really is not interested in going. Most of his friends will be going away to college, and it is breaking our hearts to watch our own child clueless as to what he wants to do with his life. His grades throughout high school have always been mediocre at best, and he has never seemed to really care. We are terrified that without a college degree he will never find a decent job, but want to help him to be successful, independent and of course, happy. Any suggestions you have would be helpful.

Dr. Debbie SwayMan, LMFT

Frustrated Mom, Parkland

Dear Frustrated Mom, We certainly understand that as parents, you and your husband want to help your son to prepare for a life of independence, success, and happiness, but attending college is not the only way to achieve these goals. If he has never really been interested in school, perhaps college is not for him, at least not right now. College is not for everyone, but if your son decides at any point that he wants to go, he can always start with a community college and transfer to a 4-year university later on. There are also some excellent vocational schools, and perhaps training for a specific career might make more sense for him. We see many young adults in our practice who are confused about their future, and we are able to help them find direction through career assessments, interest inventories, and one-on-one counseling. It’s wonderful that you and your husband are trying to guide your son, but it is ultimately up to him to decide what he wants to do with his life. He’s still very young, and may change his mind along the way, but it sounds like he would benefit from some career counseling and professional guidance. We recognize your sincere attempts to help your son, however what you feel will be helpful and what he feels would be helpful may be different, and a Family therapy session can help you all “get on the same page”.

Our best!

Debbie and Karen

ven as 2017 begins, Rosemary Krieger of boca Raton is still in shock, she admits, from an event that took place in late 2016.

Lynn Women’s Health & Wellness Institute. (Photo by Dale King)

when a shaky, stunned and teary-eyed Rosemary reached the podium, she thanked the nearly 1,000 people in the audience at the 29thAnnual woman Volunteer of the Year Luncheon & Fashion show at the boca Raton Resort & club. she had particularly kind words for her husband, ben, longtime partner in giving, and her three children who flew in from around the country: sons Kenneth, from New York and gregory, from Delaware, and daughter, catherine Krieger-Nelson, from Dallas.

“I’ve gotten flowers, emails and calls,” said Rosemary in a recent interview, her smiling face still beaming with excitement. “i didn’t expect to get the award. i am still in shock.” many in the audience were themselves in tears as they stood and applauded Rosemary, whose beneficence has helped dozens of nonprofits, from AVDA (Aid to Victims of Domestic Abuse), the YmcA, march of Dimes, george snow scholarship Fund, wayne barton center, st. Jude church, boca Helping Hands and Florence Fuller child Development center, to name a few.

Education and Arts Leadership

Among those at her table was AVDA executive Director Pam o’brien, who nominated Rosemary for the award. “she is a true giver who thinks of others before herself,” said O’Brien. “She wants to make sure that women and children in need have a safe place to go.”

the generous lady from boca has a simple philosophy about giving. “You don’t think about it, you just do it. I has to come from the heart.” coincidentally, barely a month after receiving the honor, Rosemary has jumped back into an AVDA cause. she is on the committee planning the Feb. 21 “Heart of a Woman” luncheon fundraiser at the Boca Resort. The speaker will be Michelle Knight, one of the three women abducted, imprisoned and repeatedly raped by Ariel castro at his home in cleveland. Nabbed by the suspect between 2002 and 2004 were Knight (who has changed her name legally to Lilly Rose Lee), Georgina DeJesus and Amanda Berry. They finally escaped in 2013 when Castro was captured, tried and sentenced to life plus 1,000 years in prison. He committed suicide behind bars.

Don’t Worry About a Thing!

“I can’t stop worrying.” “I am such a worrier.” “I come from a long line of worriers.”

So, what do we do?

What would it feel like to not worry? How much time and energy would you get back in your life if worrying wasn’t a thing?

1.

Practice awareness of when you are worrying. That feeling of unease, an increased heart rate, anxiousness, depression, perhaps overwhelm. Start to recognize your worry symptoms.

2.

Embrace that you are at choice to allow your thoughts to create that feeling of worry. When you hear the little voice whispering worries, simply notice it. Then say, “thank you but no thank you” and detach from the thought. As in physically picture yourself letting it go.

3.

Know that worrying doesn’t help you or your situation…ever. In fact, it robs you of your present and steals your mental energy.

4.

BE. HERE. NOW. Practice bringing yourself into the present moment. When you are actively focused and engaged in what is real and what is happening right now, then you will not be focused on the worry of what might be.

I know…right now you’re thinking, “no way,” it’s impossible for me to stop worrying. I am here to tell you it IS possible. To start the process, we you must understand what worrying is.

According to Webster’s definition, worry is to give way to anxiety or unease; allow one’s mind to dwell on difficulty or troubles.

First of all, let’s highlight a KEY word in the above definition – ALLOW. Which boils down to, you get to choose. So, let’s be clear and agree that worrying is your choice.

Are you with me? Good.

Worrying is not just the way you are. And although you most likely picked up this gift that keeps on giving from your parents or grandparents, the bottom line is worrying is your own doing.

Worrying is to place your focus on one thing assuming and thinking it will be or end in a certain way. You can create intensity of worry about arriving late to a meeting, failing in your marriage or surviving a disease you don’t even have. Your topics of worry may vary, but there is no limit to what you worry about.

The truth is we suffer far more in our imagination then in reality.

LEGALLY SPEAKING REAL ESTATE BYLINE

BY ANDIHERE WITES

Preparing Your Home For Sale I just came from a Brokers Open House held by a fellow agent. I could barely see the room sizes as there was so much excess furniture. There was an over abundance of decor that detracted from the floor plan and distracted my eyes. And every room was a different color.

storage fees you’ll more than make back from your buyer’s offer.

Whether a buyer is upsizing, downsizing or looking for a home in a new area, space and spaciousness are key to liking a home and giving it consideration.

You may not be interested in putting in a new kitchen in order to sell your home, but you can do a few things to make buyers happy. Replace the most dated features – countertops, cabinet pulls, or appliances.

You can ruin a buyer’s first impression with too much clutter, so make sure to keep your home picked up so your buyer can see your home’s features clearly and easily.

What if you don’t have a lot of space? Plan to do some storing and staging. Rent a storage unit and put away all out of season clothes, toys, and home decorations and accessories. Clean off all tables and countertops so you have only the minimum of things your need to operate your home. Empty closets of anything that is “stored” and move it to the storage unit. The small expense you’ll pay in

Here are some inexpensive ideas to create “house appeal” without the expense of remodeling.

Bathrooms are so personal that they can easily turn buyers off. Invest in new towels, bathmats and a shower curtain. Throw out slimey soaps and limp ragged bath sponges. Replace with liquid shower and bath products. You can take all the new stuff with you to the next home.

Painting is expected by buyers, but don’t repaint the same colors that you chose 10 years ago.

Pick an updated neutral like a white grey or linen.

Compliment the flooring in your home. The house I mentioned above had yellow, green and red

walls. The rooms looked smaller and it made the home look choppy in its floor plan rather than a nice flow.

Set the stage and stage your home. Homebuyers aren’t expecting your home to be a mansion, nor do they expect it to be new, but they do expect to see pride of ownership. The more tweaks, updates and repairs that you perform, the more likely your buyers will be able to see themselves in your house.

COMMUNITY NEWS

Coral Springs Police Announce Crime Prevention Program: Find Your Fob #FYF •

The 2016/2017 Honda Accord is the 2nd most commonly stolen car in Coral Springs. This includes the aluminum alloy rims to this vehicle. Always lock your car door, remove the key fob and consider etching the last 4-digits of your SS# on your rims.

•

The Ford F250 Series or above is the 3rd most commonly stolen car in Coral Springs. This includes the tailgate and grill of these vehicles. If possible back these trucks up to your garage with a car pulled up to the front grill; also consider etching the last 4-digits of your SS# in an inconspicuous place of the grill and tailgate.

These are a few highlights from incidents that took place during the month of May that sheds additional light on these types of crimes as well: •

When a resident heard noise outside of her home she called our non-emergency number (954) 344-1800.

Responding officers found the tires and rims from her Honda Accord had been removed, and located the suspect vehicle with the rims and tires hidden nearby. Police were able to positively identify a suspect out of Lauderdale Lakes.

•

When a resident noticed an unfamiliar vehicle parked outside of her home she called our non-emergency number. Police determined the car was stolen out of Fort Lauderdale and quickly apprehended the suspects, who were visiting a friend at a nearby home. Inside of the suspect’s sock was a key fob, which he admitted to finding inside of the unlocked vehicle he stole.

•

Recent arrests reveal that opportunistic teens from other cities have been targeting Coral Springs looking for unlocked vehicles with key fobs left inside to “joy ride.” It takes all of us to protect our city, always report suspicious activity.

There is no doubt technology has changed and improved many day-to-day activities in our lives from how we communicate to how we operate a motor vehicle. One of those technological improvements are push to start vehicles that come with pre-programmed key fobs (otherwise known as keyless entry). While the production of these types of vehicles are on the rise, so are auto thefts. Why? Without having to remove a key from the ignition, too often motorists are exiting the vehicle, leaving it in the center console and not locking their car door.

To prevent this type of crime from continuing, the Coral Springs Police are committed to educating the public with statistical facts and information about the auto thefts and vehicle break-ins taking place in the City of Coral Springs. We have shared this information on social media with the #hashtag - Find Your Fob – as a continual reminder for residents to look for their keyless car entry and to lock their vehicle doors. These are important statistics you should know about related to this crime: •

In the Month of May 25 cars were stolen in Coral Springs. The majority of these thefts were a result of the car left unlocked with the key fob inside.

•

Recent statistics show that residents who live in communities along Coral Ridge Drive have a 30% higher chance of becoming a victim of auto theft late Sunday night into early Monday morning.

•

Statistics also show that residents who live in communities along Riverside Drive have a 25% higher chance of becoming a victim of auto theft Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning.

•

In late May, a Dodge Charger stolen out of Coral Springs was recovered in Miami. When it was located, the key fob was still inside.

•

26

The Infiniti Q Series is the #1 most commonly stolen car in Coral Springs. To deter thieves, detectives suggest you go “old school” with a theft deterrent device, such as the club or park it inside of your garage. We have reason to believe criminals know how to clone the key fob to these vehicles.

JULY 2017

As always, our officers and detectives are continuously working to prevent crime and apprehend criminals, but we still need your assistance! Please report all suspicious activity to our non-emergency number (954) 344-1800. Always LOCK your vehicle and if you have keyless entry, remember to FIND YOUR FOB (#FYF) before going to bed each night.

If you do not already do so, please follow us on Facebook and Twitter @CoralSpringsPolice to stay up-to-date about events, criminal activity and issues affecting your community.

Stay safe!

God’s Corner

The Love Thing

BY JereMIAH WHYre oF THe MAnIFeSTATIon oF THe WorD Ministries Along WitH terry CHAMBerlAin

Probably more songs and poems have been written about love than any other topic.

Most movies have a “love interest”, as it’s called, some kind of romantic interaction between a man and a woman.

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.

NOW YOU CAN LEARN AUTHENTIC TRADITIONAL KUNGFU

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

- Northern Shaolin KungFu (Bei Shaolinquan)

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

Coral Springs City Commissioner Lou Cimaglia Jr.: A Man for Causes

By Dale King

A

round Coral Springs, City Commissioner Lou Cimaglia Jr. is known for supporting causes.

The commissioner who served eight years in the Army Reserves is perhaps best known for his successful effort to bring to Coral Springs the half-size replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall located in Washington, D.C. Through his leadership, the reproduction that bears the names of the thousands of fallen Americans who served in the military during the conflict came to town in October 2015.

Right now, the 76-year-old city official who has called South Florida home since the mid-1950s chairs a committee to examine the rampant problem of opioid use that is causing many overdoses and deaths throughout the nation, particularly in Broward County.

“Every March, we go to the National League of Cities meeting in Washington, D.C.,” the commissioner recalled. “I had arrived, and I was picking out my courses when I got a phone call from someone who lived in Coral Springs. During our conversation, he said he had lost his son to drugs and he wondered if there was anything the city could do.”

Coral Springs City Commissioner Lou Cimaglia Jr. and Fire Chief Frank Babinec at an opioid task force meeting.

(Photo by Dale King)

“The next day, one of the courses at the meeting dealt with the opioid problem. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I said, ‘My God, this can’t be real.’”

Lou has held membership in a number of organizations, including the Optimist Club, the Community Relations Council of the Coral Springs Medical Center and the Knights of Columbus.

“When I got back home, I talked to the police chief and told him I was glad Coral Springs did not have such a problem with opioids.

He said that wasn’t the case, and that Broward County is actually the third worst region in the country, after New York City and San Francisco.”

With the Optimist group, he served the youth of Broward County by working in sport programs and oratorical contests and by raising funds for The March of Dimes and S.O.S. Children’s Village, among other endeavors.

At his request, the city commission set up a task force of officials and citizens to look into the drug crisis. During the first meeting held May 10, those in attendance chose to work on an education program for high and middle schools. Task force members will speak with principals, asking them to cooperate with public awareness activities.

Coral Springs had at least three opioid overdose deaths last year.

Overall, Broward County tallied 582 fatal overdoses in 2016.

With the Community Relations Council of the Coral Springs Medical Center, he took the lead in raising funds for toys and entertainment equipment for its Pediatric Department.

A native of Providence, R.I., Lou Cimaglia came south in December 1956. Because of his serious arthritis condition, the family was advised to move to a warmer climate, either Arizona or Florida. They settled first in Hollywood, then moved to Davie in the 1960s.

“My dad was a mason contractor. He helped build Coral Springs. Back in the 1970s, only five people in the county knew how to build a real brick fireplace. Two of them were my brother and me.”

A Coral Springs resident since 1992, he was elected to a four-year city commission term in November 2014, narrowly winning Seat 4 formerly held by Commissioner Claudette Bruck, who had to leave due to term limits. He defeated Howard Melamed, a regular attendee at commission meetings and a blog writer, by a margin so small that the ballots had to be recounted.

While working for the Knights of Columbus, he was instrumental in providing food and preparing it for the annual reunion picnic for Camp Coral Kids (children with diabetes) and their families. He is now working with the Knights to put on community events to raise funds for children with diabetes whose families do not have the funds to send them to Camp Coral Kids.

The goal is to make sure all children with diabetes have an opportunity to attend the recreational facility.

He has also been working with the Medical Center to supply a wheelchair to any patient that cannot come up with the money for one when they leave the hospital.

His work has earned him honors. Lou was recognized by the Broward Health Hospital Commission for his work with the K of C wheelchair program and for raising funds for Camp Coral Kids. He was also honored in 2015 by the Florida Panthers in their Panthers “Heroes among Us” program.

The city commissioner has four children: Susan, Louis IV and Sharon, all living in Massachusetts, and Jodi, in Port St. Lucie.

Pamper your pet with a loving home away from home at ‘Camp Canine’

By Nicol JeNkiNs

F

rom the moment your pet walks through the door, the staff at Camp Canine makes them feel right at home.

Pet owners will not have to fret about their beloved furry friend! The luxury pet daycare and lodging boutique offers a home away from home.

Since 2000, Camp Canine has been providing only the best quality services for your pet from professional grooming and supervised cage less doggy daycare, to high quality pet accessories and a one-of-a-kind dog and cat lodging experience.

Jennifer Heider opened the Margate location to provide these vital services to local pet owners.

“Camp Canine is a great alternative to having your pet stuck in the house all day. We provide socialization in a supervised and safe environment,” said Jennifer.

Unlike a sterile kennel or a scary veterinary office, Camp Canine offers a pet friendly atmosphere with separate climate controlled play rooms for small and large dogs, a large, turfed, fenced outdoor play area, luxury boarding suites for longer stays where you can use Skype to check on your pet, cat condos, and a relaxing spa and grooming area. The staff spends time going over each new pet’s history and personality with their owner, and all new dogs undergo a temperament test before being allowed to socialize.

Camp Canine provides skilled, full-service grooming for all breeds as well as many additional services including baths, nail filing, teeth brushing, massages, facials and more! Customize your pet’s latest style or consult with their professional stylist to help you decide what will make Fifi or Fido look their best. You can also pamper your pup or feline with pet accessories from couture beds and “pawfume” to a fancy pet stroller or a champagne shaped toy. If a pet owner can’t drop their dog off or pick them up in time, the staff at Camp Canine can assist with transportation.

“The Camp Canine brand focuses on luxury and specializes in pampered pets. We offer high quality services and want our customers and their pets to feel special,” added Jennifer.

Their staff takes extra time to spoil your pet every day, but also have themed events that sometimes include a keepsake for you, too. In addition, Camp Canine has weekly specials on different services and produces a monthly newsletter.

“Our staff treats your dog or cat like family. We want them to feel at home,” said Jennifer.

That was what the owner was searching for when she had her first puppy Alice. “I wanted to find somewhere to take my dog while I was at work, somewhere where she was supervised but having fun, instead of being trapped in the house by herself.”

Jennifer discovered one of the Camp Canine facilities and the rest is history. After taking her dogs to the daycare and experiencing the benefits for herself, she decided to get in the business.

“Dogs coming here get spoiled and are very loved. Camp Canine is a happy place to be.

It’s very rewarding being able to see all the happy pets and their owners,” she said. “‘Pets first!’ is our number one rule.

We want our customers to feel comfortable to leave their pets with us.”

If you are looking for a safe yet fun place to leave your best friend for a day or a month, search no further than Camp Canine in Margate. *Transportation assistance available to a limited radius, by appointment only.

Camp Canine is open seven days a week and is located at 3197 N. State Rd 7 (PennDutch Plaza) Margate, FL 33063. For more information, call 954.971.0007 or e-mail margate@campcanineflorida.com.

Theater Students Take Home Awards After The 15Th Annual Cappies Award Ceremony High school theater students from 14 public and private schools throughout Broward and Palm Beach counties were winners at the 15th Annual Cappies Awards Gala held at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts.

University School of NSU received the most awards with eight for The Fiddler on The Roof, making it the most honored musical. With five Cappies wins, The Sagemont’s School’s production of Frankenstein was the most honored play.

Two exceptional students were double winners as University School of NSU student Andrew Singer was recognized as Best Lead Actor in a Musical as well as for his work in Marketing and Publicity while Stoneman Douglas High School student Taylor Fish was honored as Best Supporting Actress in a Musical for her role in Annie and Best Senior Critic.

Fish was one of two students, along with Coral Glades student Sophia Young, who received Melinda Clarke Spotlight scholarships which funds $750 for college or future theatrical training. The honorees were awarded the scholarships based upon their applications detailing their goals in pursuit of future education along with a biographical essay describing their experiences in the program.

In addition, the students who were recognized as Senior Critic, Lead Actor in a Play, Lead Actress in a Play, Lead Actor in a Musical, Lead Actress in a Musical and Stage Management and Crew each received a $500 scholarship.

Cappies award winners are determined by votes from the students through a weighted peer review voting process. Nominations are made by student critics from participating schools that attend productions at rival schools and write reviews, which are then edited by theater educators and published on FloridaTheaterOnStage.com.

The awards ceremony was presented with support from the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, which has hosted the event since the South Florida chapter of the Critics and Awards Program (Cappies for short) was founded in 2002 as a part of the national non-profit organization honoring high school theater programs.

The Broward Center for the Performing Arts is located in the Riverwalk Arts & Entertainment District at 201 SW Fifth Avenue in Fort Lauderdale.

The Broward Center 2016-2017 season is presented by the Broward Performing Arts Foundation with generous support from the Salah Foundation. AutoNation, Bank of America, Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau, LATAM AIRLINES, MasterCard, Paramount Refreshment Solutions and Sun Sentinel are proud sponsors of the Broward Center.

Guest experiences at the Broward Center include the all-inclusive LATAM AIRLINES CLUB LEVEL, spectacular riverfront views for special events in the Huizenga Pavilion, waterfront dining at Marti’s New River Bistro and innovative classes and workshops for all ages at the Rose Miniaci Arts Education Center.

With one of the largest arts-in-education programs in the United States, the Broward Center serves more than 150,000 students annually. The Broward Performing Arts Foundation, Inc. receives and maintains funds to sustain, develop and secure the future of the Broward Center.

Set within a contemporary black community in Southern California, Brit Bennett’s mesmerizing first novel begins by telling the story of the last season of high school life for Nadia Turner, a rebellious, griefstricken, seventeen-year-old beauty. Mourning her own mother’s recent suicide, she takes up with the local pastor’s son. Luke Sheppard is twenty-one, a former football star whose injury has reduced him to waiting tables at a diner. They are young; it’s not serious. But the pregnancy that results from this teen romance - and the subsequent cover-up - will have an impact that goes far beyond their youth.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

THE BIN DOCTOR

BY SPIRO EDGOS

Protect your family and home by keeping your bins bacteria, mold and odor free Most people do not spend much time thinking about their trash and recycling bins. You simply fill them with garbage so why would you waste your time thinking about them let alone clean them? This was how I felt, until I really thought about how it could affect the health of my family.

As the temperatures and humidity levels rise throughout the summer months in South Florida, so does the mold and bacteria in your bins. Mold spores multiply quickly covering the lid of the bins as they try to make their way out. And once they become airborne, they quickly attach to anything or anyone they come into contact with. Breathing in these spores can lead to allergies, respiratory conditions like asthma and hay fever, skin lesions and rashes. This is particularly harmful to children, the elderly and those with a weakened immune system.

In addition to mold, over 400 known bacteria can be found in a single square inch of a waste bin. The more hazardous bacteria often detected in the bins include E-Coli, Listeria, and Salmonella. It is commonly known that these bacteria can cause severe and sometimes fatal infections. Unclean and foul-smelling bins also attract rats, raccoons and insects in large numbers. These unwanted pests carry diseases and pose further health risks to your family and pets.

Like many fellow Coral Springs residents, my trash and recycling bins must be stored in the garage. And with two small children and a dog, our bins are filled with bacterialaden garbage, including spoiled food, soiled diapers and pet waste. I attempted to clean the bins myself but lacked the resources necessary to effectively sanitize and disinfect the bins, and I wanted to avoid using harsh chemicals like bleach that are harmful to the environment.

As a result, my wife and I launched The Bin Doctor in April 2017. The Bin Doctor is a local trash and recycling bin sanitation service aimed at helping to protect families and communities from the hazards of mold, bacteria and unwanted vermin.

The Bin Doctor provides a 100% eco-friendly sanitization and disinfectant service.

By utilizing water at an ultra-high pressure and temperature of 200°, more than 99% of bacteria and mold can be killed in less than one minute. This efficient process allows us to use 15x less water than a typical cleaning with a garden hose. The selfcontained cleaning unit collects all waste water to avoid the contamination of local storm drains, and the waste water is then deposited at a local treatment facility.

The Bin Doctor services Coral Springs, Parkland and the surrounding area. Our residential curbside cleaning service follows the normal trash collection pick-up and has flexible service options.

Lifestyle Management Strategies that works!

Many of us who wants to change their lifestyle in terms of changing their eating habit and establishing a stable exercise regiment often stated their attempts frequently failure because they don’t have enough willpower to make it happen. Let me make this clear- if you want to make any permanent change in your life, willpower won’t get you there, especially when you have an addiction. Yes, bad eating habits and/or sedentary lifestyle are forms of addiction. Especially when it goes to food - as defined by the Merriam-Webster: “compulsive need for and use of a habit-forming substance characterized by tolerance and by well-defined physiological symptoms upon withdrawal; broadly : persistent compulsive use of a substance known by the user to be harmful”. It makes sense when we all aware that obesity have known to leads to a lifetime of disease and suffering, let it be the physical or emotional well being.

If your lifestyle changes requires willpower, you haven’t fully determined what you want. Because once you make a decision, the internal debate is over. Thus, all future decisions regarding that matter have also been made. Until you decide, you’ll be required to use willpower, and will continue making minimal progress. Willpower is for people who are still uncertain about what they want to do. If you’re required to use willpower to change your lifestyle for a better physical and emotional state, that means you haven’t made up your mind, your desire for your goals isn’t strong enough, and you haven’t fully committed to what you’re going to do.

Are you committed?

When it comes to achieving lifestyle changing goals, commitment involves: • Investing upfront • Making it public, at least within your circle of family or friends.

• Having periodic feedback/accountability, and mostly; • Removing or altering everything in your environment that opposes your commitment If your environment opposes your goals, you haven’t work hard enough to create an environment that makes your goals inevitable. Investment- you are going to put everything in place to make sure it happens by making a lifestyle changing commitment with your doctor, trainer, or a commercial outlet. Feedback/ accountability- you’re going to follow through the program with the provider. Making it public- minimum, let family and close friends know your commitment and goal.

By all means, elicit lifestyle management buddy(ies) from your family or friends.

Environment, most importantly, you’re going to remove things in your life that keep you from success. No matter how much internal resolve you have, you will fail to change your life if you don’t change your environment. As a human-being, you always take on the form of the environments you continually place yourself. Eventually you succumb to your environment despite your greatest efforts to resist.

Consequently, the best use of your choices is consciously designing environments that facilitate your commitments. Following are some helpful tips: 1) Hanging out with friends who have same/better resolve than yours.

2) Getting rid of any unhealthy food from your refrigerator and pantry, and re-stocking them with organic fresh produce and healthy snacks.

3) Adopting a low carbohydrates diet plan with healthy serving of protein and fiber 4) Making/ packing your own breakfast and lunch; Cook your own dinner. Don’t know how to cook? Get some help, go to YouTube.

5) Engaging in a sustainable exercise regiment such as starting with making 10,000 steps a day with a fitness tracker.

“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.

FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE CALL

954.246.4555 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.

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?

Every month City News will randomly pick a pet of the month winner. Enter your pet today!

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.

Shelter

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.

Badge of Honor: Clyde Parry, Local Legend, and Interim Chief Extraordinaire!

By Brooke Bitton

M

ost of us would agree that Coral Springs is entitled to some bragging rights. In comparison to other U.S. cities, Coral Springs was on the list as being the 44th best city in which to reside (recorded in 2010). In addition, the city was recognized as number 10 on the list for being one of the safest cities (recorded in 2007), and was the first in the country to obtain the Malcom Baldridge National Quality Award.

It is the people who live in the City of Coral Springs who make this city what it is today. One such person is Clyde Parry, the now Interim Chief for the Coral Springs Police Department. Various roles associated with Clyde’s position is overseeing patrol investigations, and the traffic unit and accident investigators. He also runs day-to-day operations, and comes up with various strategies to tackle crime and traffic issues. This is Clyde’s 31st year in law enforcement (and he is proud of it!)

Working as the Interim Chief may be Clyde’s main job; however, Clyde also juggles other “jobs” in the community. He has been a coach for the Coral Springs Tackle Football Club (grades 1 through 9) for over 20 years. Leaving his police uniform on the sidelines (no pun intended), Clyde dresses like a coach in the beginning, so he can get to know all of the players. As time passes by, he shows up in his police uniform. He feels that this allows for a positive public perception, and enables people to “Meet him on a different level, with no preconceived notions”. Clyde has built relationships with his students…in fact, some of his former students have returned as coaches.

Coral Springs is, definitely, entitled to some bragging rights…and so are a number of people, such as Clyde Parry. He represents the city, not only through his badge (he was “Officer of the Year” in 2002 and “Supervisor of the Year” in 2007, he attained the Exceptional Police Initiative Commendation in 1999, a Unit Citation in 1999, a Team Citation Award in 2009, and was given an abundant number of letters of acclamation from the community, as well as police organizations---but who’s bragging?), but also as a resident of Coral Springs. Clyde is the epitome of community, integrity, and loyalty. Clyde Parry has helped lay a foundation for community and success.

For Clyde, the best part of his jobs, both on and off the field, is the personal difference that he makes. This includes getting on the same level of communication with the people who work with him. Though Clyde is an Interim Chief, he still considers himself a servant-type leader---he investigates what people need to do their job, and he helps them to do it by providing them with the tools needed, and, “Showing that I care”. According to Clyde, the performance given in return is “golden”.

Initially, Clyde did not plan on becoming a police officer.

He states that he was once “ornery”. It wasn’t until he had an encounter with a police officer in Pennsylvania, which made a difference in his life, and encouraged him to pursue a career in law enforcement. “I wanted to pay it forward as well”, he says.

Being a member of the Coral Springs Police Department is never tedious. Clyde says that the job is different every day. “The focus of the department is to pick the right sergeants and detectives to aid in making the residents safer”, Clyde says. Also, a top priority is to change the public’s pessimistic views with regards to

Be Prepared

T

he 2017 Hurricane Season runs through November 30th and this is predicted to be a more active season than usual. Colorado State University expects 14 named storms, six hurricanes and two major hurricanes this season, while the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) expects 11 to 17 named storms this season, more than the 30-year average for the Atlantic Basin. Although there is no strong correlation between the number of storms or hurricanes and U.S. landfalls in any given season, NOAA research has found that the United States averages one to two hurricane landfalls each season. That means we need to be prepared. Here are some helpful tips on what you need to know to be prepared before, during and after a storm.

What to do now: • Put together a disaster supply kit, including a flashlight, batteries, cash, first aid supplies, and copies of your critical information.

• Make a family emergency communication plan.

• Register for text or email alert systems for emergency notifications.

• Hurricane winds can cause trees and branches to fall, so trim or remove damaged trees and limbs to keep you and your property safe. Proper tree pruning also increases the likelihood that a tree can weather a storm.

• Secure loose rain gutters and downspouts and clear any clogged areas or debris to prevent water damage to your property.

What to do as the storm approaches: • Secure your home by covering all windows with hurricane shutters or plywood.

• Bring in all outdoor furniture, garbage cans, decorations, and anything else that is not tied down and could become airborne.

• Charge your cell phone so you have a full battery in case you lose power.

• Withdraw cash from the bank. ATM’s will not work in a power outage.

• Gas up your car and buy extra gas if needed to fuel generators or gas-powered tools.

• Fill aluminum or plastic containers with potable (drinking) water. Plan for one gallon per person per day. In addition, fill pre-sanitized sinks and tubs with water for bathing and flushing toilets.

• Turn your refrigerator or freezer to the coldest setting and open only when necessary. If you lose power, food will last longer. Keep a thermometer in the refrigerator to be able to check the food temperature when the power is restored.

• Turn on your TV or radio, or check your city/county website, every 30 minutes to get the latest weather updates and emergency instructions.

What to do during the storm: • Monitor your radio or television for weather updates and instructions from public safety officials.

• Stay indoors, preferably in an interior room with no windows.

JULY 2017

• • • •

Turn off electricity at the circuit breaker if you notice leaks in the roof or windows or if there is flooding.

Use flashlights, not candles or kerosene lamps, as your light source.

Avoid using the phone and do not bathe or shower during the storm.

Do not go outside during the eye of the storm. The calm is brief. Hurricane-force winds will resume shortly.

What to do after the storm: • Listen to local officials for updates and instructions. Remain inside until authorities say it’s safe to go outside.

• Many disaster-related injuries occur in the aftermath of a hurricane. Watch out for debris and downed power lines.

• Avoid walking or driving through flood waters. Just six inches of moving water can knock you down, and fast-moving water can sweep a vehicle away. In addition, flood water may be electrically charged from underground or downed power lines and may hide dangerous debris or places where the ground is washed away.

• Photograph the damage to your property to assist in filing an insurance claim.

• Check-in with family and friends by texting or using social media to make sure everyone is safe.

What’s in your Kit? It is essential that everyone have a wellstocked hurricane supply kit. It should contain enough supplies to sustain you and your family members for three to five days. Here is a basic list of what should be included in every emergency kit:

• • • • • • • •

• Water -- at least one gallon per person per day • Non-perishable food • Non-electric can opener • Flashlight, battery-powered radio and extra batteries • Fully charged mobile phone with charger • Prescription medications, enough for a month • Baby care items including formula, baby food, disposable diapers and wipes First-aid kit Personal hygiene items Household cleaning supplies Tools Extra pair of glasses Pet care items, including food Extra set of car keys Cash – ATM’s and credit card devices might not be working

If you live in a coastal or low-lying area, you may need to evacuate to an emergency shelter if a hurricane is approaching. Emergency shelters provide a refuge of last resort for those individuals who need to evacuate and are unable to make their own evacuation and sheltering arrangements, such as with friends, family, or in hotels outside of the evacuation zones.

What do you Mean?

Storm conditions can vary in intensity, size and direction of approach, so it is critical that you understand exactly what the forecasters and news reporters are saying and what it means to you and your family. Here is a list of common terminology as defined by the National Hurricane Center: Eye – The roughly circular area of comparatively light winds that encompasses the center of a severe tropical cyclone. The eye is either completely or partially surrounded by the eyewall cloud.

Hurricane – A tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 74 mph or higher.

Hurricane Warning – An announcement that sustained winds of 74 mph or higher are expected somewhere within the specified area. Because hurricane preparedness activities become difficult once winds reach tropical storm force, the warning is issued 36 hours in advance of the anticipated onset of tropical storm force winds. The warning can remain in effect when dangerously high water or a combination of dangerously high water and waves continue, even though winds may be less than hurricane force.

Hurricane Watch – An announcement that sustained winds of 74 mph or higher are possible within the specified area. Because hurricane preparedness activities become difficult once winds reach tropical storm force, the hurricane watch is issued 48 hours in advance of the anticipated onset of tropical storm force winds.

Major Hurricane – A tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 111 mph or higher, corresponding to a Category 3, 4 or 5 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.

Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale – A 1 to 5 rating based on a hurricane’s sustained wind speed used to estimate potential property damage. Hurricanes reaching Category 3 and higher are considered major hurricanes because of their potential for significant loss of life and damage.

Storm Surge – An abnormal rise in sea level accompanying a hurricane or other intense storm, and whose height is the difference between the observed level of the sea surface and the level that would have occurred in the absence of the cyclone. www.CityNewsMagaziNe.CoM

Storm surge is often one of the most dangerous elements of a hurricane because the dome of water can be 20 feet high at the peak and stretch 50-100 miles wide.

Tropical Cyclone – A rotating, organized system of clouds and thunderstorms that originates over tropical or subtropical waters and has a closed low-level circulation.

Tropical cyclones rotate counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.

Tropical Depression – A tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 38 mph or less.

Tropical Storm – A tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 39-73 mph.

What’s in a Name?

Since 1953, Atlantic tropical storms have been named from lists originated by the National Hurricane Center. Those lists are now maintained and updated by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). There are six lists that are used in rotation and recycled every six years, meaning this year’s list will be used again in 2023. The only time there is a change in a list is if a storm is so deadly or costly that the future use of its name would be inappropriate for reasons of sensitivity. If a name is retired, WMO selects a replacement. If more than 21 named tropical cyclones occur during one season, additional storms will take names from the Greek alphabet.

What Is Tooth Whitening?

My Teeth Are Sensitive, Can I Still Whiten Them?

Special Summer Whitening Offer*

*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!

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.

Good Eats with Grapes Make a heart-healthy menu with flavorful fruit FAMILY FEATURES

H

eart-healthy foods can play a role in healthy aging. Whether you enjoy them by the handful as a refreshing snack or use them to add color, crunch and a touch of sweetness to a meal, grapes are a heart-healthy option that make eating better easy.

Grapes of all colors - red, green and black - are a natural source of beneficial antioxidants and other polyphenols. At just 90 calories per serving, they also contain no fat, no cholesterol and virtually no sodium.

With a juicy burst of flavor, grapes show how simple it can be to make good-for-you-dishes that also taste great. Even though California grapes are a snacking staple in most kitchens, you may not realize how versatile they can be for cooking. For example, grapes add a sweet touch to a crunchy yogurt salad and complement the bold spice on a skewer of grilled shrimp. Fresh, flavorful grapes even put a tangy, fresh twist on a soothing glass of iced tea.

Find more delicious recipes to make healthy eating easy at GrapesfromCalifornia.com.

Grapes and Brain Health A grape-enriched diet helped protect against metabolic brain decline in Alzheimer’srelated areas of the brain, according to research from the University of California-Los Angeles. The pilot study, funded by the California Table Grape Commission, was conducted among people with early memory decline and showed that subjects who didn’t consume grapes exhibited significant metabolic decline in these critical regions.

Additionally, those consuming the grape-enriched diet showed beneficial changes in regional brain metabolism that correlated to improvements in cognition and working memory performance, according to a report published by Experimental Gerontology.

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.

Vice Mayor Daley Honored with 2017 Home Rule Hero Award Florida League of Cities Recognized Coral Springs Official for Outstanding Advocacy Efforts

The Florida League of Cities recently recognized Vice Mayor Dan Daley with a 2017 Home Rule Hero Award. Daley earned this prestigious award for his tireless efforts to advance the League’s legislative agenda and help protect the Home Rule powers of Florida’s cities during the 2017 regular legislative session.

“Our Home Rule Heroes are shining examples of local advocacy in action,” said Boca Raton Mayor and Florida League of Cities President Susan Haynie. “These dedicated municipal officials take time out of their busy schedules to cultivate relationships with their legislators and help them understand the issues that are most important to their constituents back home. Thank you for all you do to help protect Home Rule and preserve the quality of life in your city.”

Home Rule is the ability for a city to establish its own form of government and enact ordinances, codes, plans and resolutions without prior state approval. The Home Rule Hero Award recipients are local government officials – both elected and nonelected – who consistently responded to the League’s request to reach out to members of the legislature and help give a local perspective to an issue.

“It’s an honor to receive the Home Rule Hero award for the third year in a row” Vice Mayor Daley said. “Given the toxic, anti-city climate in Tallahassee this last year, the work of local elected officials is more important now than ever before and I’m glad to be a part of it!” www.CityNewsMagaziNe.CoM

PUZZLE ANSWERS

LEGALLY SPEAKING

BY KEN CUTLER, ESQ. & ANDREW RADER, ESQ.

Why You Need Uninsured Motorist Coverage – And Lot’s of it – From Attorneys in the Courtroom Trenches You’re sitting at a red light, minding your own business when a drunk driver rear ends you - hard. Your head snaps, you have searing pain in your neck and your hand goes numb. You’re sitting in your car waiting for an ambulance, and you feel like you can’t move. You’re terrified and praying that you are not paralyzed. You have now joined the multitude of people who are rear-ended every day.

Thank heaven you aren’t paralyzed, but you are badly hurt. You can’t work and the medical bills (and stress they cause) are piling up. You need neck surgery to stabilize your neck and to help reduce the pain. You’re worried that you’ll never work again and that you’ll be financially ruined.

You understand that you need a personal injury attorney. You need your bills covered, your lost wages reimbursed and you feel entitled to something for the physical and emotional torment that the drunk driver has put you through. After all, your life was fine until you fell victim to someone else’s carelessness.

The bills roll in, and your own Personal Injury Protection insurance pays up to $10,000. What about the other $200,000 in medical bills and lost wages, to say nothing about the agony and distress this has caused you?

So you contact an AV-Rated (preeminent) personal injury attorney. The attorney quickly determines that the other driver had no bodily injury insurance that would pay for your losses. You’re shocked to learn that Florida doesn’t require bodily injury insurance. You also learn that a significant number of Florida drivers are either completely uninsured, or they are significantly underinsured. Your attorney asks you if you have uninsured motorist coverage. “Don’t worry”, you say. “My insurance agent says I have full coverage.”

So, you call the agent, who tells you that you didn’t purchase uninsured motorist coverage. “What’s that,” you ask. Your agent tells you that you decided that you did not want to pay the premiums for this insurance even though it insures you and your family in case you get hit by someone without insurance or who didn’t have enough.

You were willing to take the risk to save money.

You’re shocked. “You thought you had FULL COVERAGE and that the risk was minimal. It was not.

This is an all-too-common occurrence. We’ve seen it in death, severe personal injury and brain injury cases and, unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do to help these clients. To properly protect yourself and your family, you must buy uninsured motorist coverage. It will cover you if a drunk, distracted or just plain careless driver hits you or a family member who lives with you. It will pay for the injury caused by someone else.

PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY. BUY AS MUCH UNINSURED MOTORIST COVERAGE AS YOU CAN AFFORD. If you have questions about your insurance coverage or if you’ve been injured in an accident, call Cutler Rader, P.L. at (954) 913-CASE (2273) or visit us at www.CutlerRader.com. We’re happy to talk and the consultation is free.
