FINANCIAL / TAX ADVICE RobeRt Spielman, Cpa, JD

Hurricane Relief-Federal And State Florida, as well as significant parts of Texas and the Gulf Coast, have been ravaged during this year’s hurricane season. Even now as I write, there are three hurricanes lined up in the South Atlantic heading on similar paths as hurricanes Harvey and Irma.

Hopefully, by the time you read this, these hurricanes will have veered away from the islands ravaged by storms already this season, and steered out to sea, so as not to be a threat to the U.S. mainland. But boy have hurricanes Harvey and Irma caused great damage to property and the people of the affected areas.

Readers of this column hopefully read and acted upon earlier articles addressing hurricane preparedness for personal property and their important personal papers and business related books and records. Now is a good time to make sure all your personal and business records are in good order and you have exactly what you need to move forward to repairing your personal and business lives. Make sure you have all records required to make any claims for insurance or FEMA benefits. Take a look in the archives of the City News Publications to review those articles or feel free to contact me directly.

When natural disasters hit, it is incredible to see the generosity of local citizens, relief agencies, and even Federal and State governments. Even the Internal Revenue Service does what it can to provide relief to affected taxpayers. The IRS, as well as many state and local governments, have quickly issued recovery guidance, including extending filing and tax payment dates.

Of particular note here in New York, is many Florida domiciliaries who spend time in New York may not be able to return to their Florida homes for quite some time. For those who maintain a permanent abode in New York, be aware New York does not presently have any exception under the statutory residence test to allow an individual to stay in New York when his residence is not habitable in another location, without such day being counted as a New York day. This means if you stay in New York for an extended period of time and your total day count for the current tax year exceeds 183 days, you will be found to be a statutory resident in New York. This is the case even if your Florida home is not habitable. Therefore, if you are in New York and you wish to maintain non-New York State resident status, make sure you properly count your days and document your whereabouts.

The counties in which you presently reside are now designated disaster areas, so certain relief is readily available.

What kind of relief does the IRS and State tax jurisdictions provide at this time: 1.The IRS issued notices granting filing and payment extensions for taxpayers in Broward, Dade, Palm Beach and other counties. In addition, taxpayers who are located in the covered disaster areas, as well as persons who maintain records there or utilize disaster area professionals are granted such relief.

2.Extensions have been provided as follows: a.For returns due on extension by September 15 or October 16, extensions are granted to January 31, 2018.

While tax payment and filing relief is always welcome, it does not quickly repair your homes and businesses, nor immediately put any money in your pocket. It is essential homeowners and business owners suffering damage pull together applicable books and records and apply for emergency relief with all governmental agencies charged with assisting in the rebuilding of hurricane ravaged regions. Typically, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and similar state agencies, take the lead in this area.

Other non-governmental organizations, such as the American Red Cross have relief programs, and in some cases, actually provide a fixed-dollar stipend or daily allowance for storm victims.

b. quarterly estimates are postponed until January 2018. c. Payroll tax returns, estate tax returns, trust returns and C corp. returns, as well as foreign bank account reporting are all granted extensions.

3.The IRS will automatically provide filing and penalty relief to taxpayers within the disaster areas.

4.The Service also announced that 401(k), and similar employer plans can make loans and hardship distributions to victims of Hurricane Irma and their families. Similarly, 403(b) plans for public school employees and tax exempt organizations may make loans and hardship distributions.

5.The Service announced that donation programs which allow employees to forgo vacation, sick or personal days in exchange for a cash payment will not be taxable if the cash payments are made to organizations assisting Hurricane Harvey (and most probably Hurricane Irma victims).

6.While many Federal tax filing and payment extensions have been granted, not all states are immediately issuing similar announcements. Certainly the states of Florida and Texas have issued guidance, while many states have indicated that their residents, whose practitioners reside in the affected areas will have additional time to file, and possibly pay any taxes due. But this is on a case by case basis. In order to make certain non-Florida residents meet all their obligations timely, they must review the rules and regulations applicable to them as issued both by the Internal Revenue Service and in each state and local jurisdiction in which they file returns.

OCTOBER 2017

Our country’s vulnerable coasts certainly took a direct hit from these recent storms.

But most commentators were surprised the damage was not much worse. We are all thankful there was no significant storm surge. Local building codes, which have been greatly improved over the past decade, caused new buildings to be more soundly constructed to withstand more dangerous winds, rain, and surf. As you rebuild, please consider all your options to build stronger and safer homes and businesses to protect your hard earned assets and your loved ones. In the coming months, I suspect additional tax incentives might be available to make the rebuilding process easier and more affordable. In addition, vendors of products needed to rebuild will be issuing rebates and incentives to contribute as best as they can to the rebuilding effort.

This has been a bit of hodgepodge of advice and hopefully useful information. I know my readers in South Florida have their hands full with recovery, whether or not they have been directly impacted by damage or personal loss. The neighborhood businesses, roads, country clubs, shopping centers, and religious institutions have all been impacted.

Let’s all give thanks that the damage was not as severe as predicted and personal injury and loss of life was not a daily headline. I personally wish everyone who was impacted by these recent storms (and for the rest of hurricane season) a speedy financial and personal recovery.

atural disasters come in multiple forms and can quickly devastate many lives in a matter of moments.

While they all can cause nightmares for those affected, few are as powerful and destructive as hurricanes. that’s why, when hurricanes make landfall and wreak havoc, help is immediately needed and accepted by the people and communities impacted the most. Here are a few ways you can make a positive impact for those affected by natural disasters, specifically hurricanes: Start a Fundraiser One of the most potentially impactful ways to lend a hand after a natural disaster is to start a community fundraiser. this can be as simple as an online account accepting donations for a group of people and sending a large sum to a relief organization, or as thought-out as a large-scale event, like a raffle or dinner, accepting donations for entry.

Donate money is typically the resource relief organizations can use the most during natural disasters, and it can also be the easiest way for people to lend aid. there are typically many trustworthy organizations available to donate to during times of need.

Promote Fundraising Efforts after you’ve made a donation yourself, spread the word to others whether it’s via word of mouth, social media or other forms of communication. let friends and family know how they can join the cause.

Volunteer While it isn’t viable for everyone, some people closer to the affected

www.CityNewsMagaziNe.CoM

region can directly help those in need with physical help at the place it’s most needed. Whether it’s passing out supplies, serving food to those displaced or other means of lending a hand, volunteers are a valuable resource following natural disasters.

Provide Shelter another option for people looking to help who are closer to the devastation is to offer shelter, especially if they have family members or friends who have been affected. assisting at places sheltering the displaced is another way to provide help, if offering space in your home is not an option.

Give Blood injuries can be unavoidable when hurricanes and other disasters strike.

One way to help those hospitalized or otherwise injured is to donate blood, possibly saving lives in the process.

Stay Persistent in the immediate aftermath of storms and natural disasters, the news cycle is dominated by stories of triumph and despair, and by ways people can help. However, the storm is eventually overshadowed by other, more recent news. One major way people can help after a hurricane is by continuing their support long after the storm has passed, as those affected will need assistance, supplies and donations for much longer than just a couple of weeks after the incident. as time passes, it can be helpful to continue donating money and supplies, committing to helping physically rebuild structures and promoting fundraising efforts.

Dr. Daysy Pinero Cares About Your Dental Health

By Nicol JeNkiNs The instant you meet Dr. Daysy Pinero, you can tell she truly cares about her patients’ smile and their wellbeing.

Her practice, Daysy Pinero, DMD, PA, located in Coral Springs, focuses on providing total dental and overall health to their patients. Besides general dentistry, Dr. Pinero and her experienced staff of dentists can help you with all your dental needs from general cleaning, periodontal cleaning, Invisalign, braces, veneers and more! Their newest additions include Botox, and fillers, which can help with TMJ. Her office also offers the convenience of one-day crowns with CEREC. “Patients won’t have to come in for another appointment. We can provide a full crown the same day,” said Dr. Pinero.

The philosophy at Daysy Pinero, DMD, PA is to provide treatment to the whole person- with a special focus on how your teeth and gums relate to your total body health.

“Oral cancer is one of the cancers that has increased over the years. It is very hard to diagnose and typically when it’s diagnosed, it’s in the last stage. I recommend going to your dentist every 6 months and always checking for oral cancer,” added Dr. Pinero.

Convenience is always at the forefront. The office is open Monday through Friday, and the third Saturday of every month.

The Coral Springs dental office offers all dental care under one roof and has specialty dentists including: general dentist Dave Amador, periodontist Judy Lubin, and orthodontist Diane Naffah.

Dr. Pinero has always had a passion for helping others through dentistry. At a young age, she looked up to her family dentist and decided to become a dentist. She was a dentist for many years in Venezuela, and when she moved to South Florida, she decided to open her office in Coral Springs.

“The idea is when a patient comes into the office, we spend time with them, check their oral health and medical history, and administer a comprehensive exam,” she said.

“I have been able to help people through dentistry for over 18 years. The most rewarding moment is when patients smile and they say their whole life changes because of the way they smile now. People’s lives can change a lot when they change their smile,” said Dr. Pinero.

Besides a focus on oral health, what makes the office unique is its dedicated staff.

“Everybody that works in the office is passionate about what they do. Most of the staff members have been with me for years and we are like family. Our goal at the end of the day is to touch people’s lives through dentistry.

That’s what we focus on every day,” added Dr. Pinero.

“We embrace customer service and try to make patients feel as comfortable as possible.”

She is also breaking the myth that dentistry has to be a painful experience by utilizing the latest in technology and making patients feel comfortable. The atmosphere in the office offers a calming setting and a clean, modern look. The office was newly constructed just three years ago, with new flooring, a modern facade, private rooms and state-of-the-art equipment.

“We offer the newest technology, including digital

12

OCTOBER 2017

COMMUNITY Health & Wellness NEWS

The Annual Woman’s Wellness Exam Could Save Your Life.

Dr. AnDrew KrinsKy, MD, FACOG

L

ike most women, I’m sure you don’t enjoy the annual trek to the Gynecologist. But did you know that there are some real lifesaving reasons why the annual wellness exam should be a consistent part of your wellness program? Why is this exam so important?

1.Review & update your medical history: This includes current medications, changes

in your family history, screening for issues such as falls, urinary function, depression, domestic violence, issues regarding sexual function, alcohol & drug use, risky behavior such as talking, texting, & not using seat belts while driving.

2.Prevention of Infection: Appropriate testing for bacterial & viral infections, sexually transmitted Illnesses (STI), Vaccinations when indicated for HPV virus protection, Hepatitis, Influenza, Tetanus with Pertussis, Shingles, Pneumonia, Chickenpox (Varicella).

For example did you know that all adults should receive a booster for Pertussis (Whooping cough) Family members can transmit this disease to newborns who have yet to be vaccinated.( i.e.

Grandparents to their newborn grandchildren). The CDC (Center for Disease Control) recommends that all family members visiting a newborn infant be vaccinated, & every pregnant woman receive a booster toward the end of EACH pregnancy to give some protection when her child is born.

Did you know that based on certain risk factors, ethnic background, & family history some women’s risk may be as high as 7080%. Proper screening can identify women at risk, before the cancer develops so specific risk reducing steps may be taken.

3.Evaluation of Fitness, Height, & Weight: This includes calculating your BMI (Body

Mass Index), & evaluating diet & exercise Lack of weight bearing exercise & proper diet along with low Vitamin D can significantly increase the risk of hip fractures. Ordering the appropriate tests can minimize this risk. Did you know that an elderly person who fractures her hip has a 50% chance of not surviving?

Proper monitoring of bone health can often prevent the first fracture!!

as obvious as in men. We can’t change our Genetic background & the risks we receive from our parents, but we can screen appropriately before it is too late!!

6.THE MENOPAUSE: This important time in a woman’s life is filled with new issues & concerns.

The risk of Ovarian Cancer increase in women with age. This cancer grows silently, with vague . nonspecific symptoms & is difficult to diagnose at the earliest stages required for survival. The annual exam is extremely IMPORTANT in checking for Cancer of the Ovaries, & should include a thorough screening for symptoms, along with a complete pelvic & rectal exam. IF WE DO NO THINK OF OVARIAN CANCER WE WILL NEVER MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN EARLY DIAGNOSIS!!!

PLEASE DON’T WAIT. MAKE YOUR APPOINTMENT NOW TO SEE YOUR GYNECOLOGIST FOR YOUR ANNUAL WELLNESS EXAM, & STAY HEALTHY.

5.HEART DISEASE: Did you know this illness is

4.Cancer Screening & Prevention:

Each stage of a woman’s life has its specific illnesses to consider. Your doctor knows when to screen for each of these cancers. From Cervical, Breast, Uterine, Colon, & Ovarian, appropriate screening may make a real difference in early diagnosis & even survival. The average woman has a 1 in 8 chance of developing Breast Cancer over her lifetime.

Maximize The Joy Of Travel Family Features

m

any facets of travel – the anticipation, the experience and even the return trip – can enhance your mood. it can create an element of the unexpected and give you the opportunity to gain new, memorable experiences. to explore the connection between happiness and travel, and what makes a destination joyous, Bank of america, Condé Nast traveler and happiness expert shawn achor created “the Joy index.” achor delved into the psychology of experiences that awe people and the physiology of adventure to explain the relationship between joy and travel, and identified the 10 most joyous places in the world. He also shared the following tips on how to make travel attainable and maximize the joy of your vacations: Predictors of Happiness the Joy index combined achor’s studies on travel and happiness with existing research from organizations, including the united Nations and Gallup, to identify six “happiness factors” based on the psychology of joy and travel: environment, wellbeing, culture, connection, adventure and wonder. these six factors, which encompass everything from weather to geography and local food to the friendliness of the

FREE

TOWING

culture, can have an impact on the joy experienced when visiting a destination.

While these factors may indicate how joyful a destination can be, the happiness you experience during travel and in everyday life must be cultivated rather than found. “the three greatest predictors of happiness are gratitude, social connection and meaning,” achor said. “if you have an amazing life but are not grateful for it, you do not have access to happiness. these three things scientifically improve happiness, but not just for a moment – they change the lens through which you view the world.”

Travel’s Effect on Happiness travel allows you to discover something completely new and unique, which is why it can bring so much joy. according to achor, the human brain craves novelty. “the new experiences we have when we travel help us gain perspective and remind us that the world is bigger than our everyday problems,” achor said. “another reason why traveling makes us joyful is the connection we experience. traveling allows us to disconnect from our everyday lives and reconnect with the friends and family we are traveling with, as well as locals we meet along the way.”

One way travelers are honing in on experiencing this social connection is through embracing the sharing economy. according to data aggregated from Bank of America’s more than 40 million credit and debit accounts, the number of accounts making a home-sharing purchase increased 57 percent in 2016 compared to 2015.

Maximizing Joy on Vacation remembering to be grateful is crucial for staying in the moment and finding joy in your trips.

“When it comes to planning vacations, we get too focused on the stress of the details,” achor said. “try to think about how lucky we are to travel and experience the world. When things don’t go your way, such as an inconvenient rainy day, see it as an opportunity to make your experience even more memorable.”

Putting yourself out there and engaging with the local culture can also be crucial for maximizing the joy of traveling.

“Once you’re on your trip, one way to increase your happiness is to go back to that social connection. Get out of your comfort zone and talk to strangers,” achor said. “learning about different stories of people with different cultures

than our own helps us realize and understand some of the cool similarities we share and interesting differences based on our backgrounds.”

Making Travel Attainable achor stressed that happiness can be cultivated wherever you are, but if you want to get the most out of a vacation, planning is crucial. “my research has shown that planning more than a month ahead can lead to happier, healthier and more productive vacations,” achor said. even though traveling can help increase happiness, many opt out of going on trips because of the cost. this, too, is where planning can help.

One way travelers can start saving up for their next vacation is by using a travel rewards credit card like the Bank of america travel rewards credit card, which lets you earn points on all purchases that can be redeemed toward travel-related purchases. your morning coffee and other everyday purchases can help get you closer and closer to affording a joyful vacation. to learn more about the Joy index, including the most joyful travel destinations in the world for 2017, visit cntraveler.com/joyindex.

FAMILY MATTERS Dear Debbie and Karen,

Every summer since my kids were in camp, my husband and I have taken a weeks vacation with a couple we met in college. Since it is getting close I called to begin the conversation about what we want to do this year. To make a long story short, after 27 years of marriage our vacation buddies are divorcing. What a shock. My friend explained that her husband told her that he hasn’t been happy for a very long time but they were so occupied raising their kids and growing a business that he just kept going. Now that they are done with building all that, he has decided he is done. I asked her what done means and she explained that what it means is that their lives as a family have been good but the marriage got dull and boring and he wants to call it quits. No counseling, no conversation, it’s just over!

I still can’t believe it. After having a day or two to soak this up I realize that I will miss these weeks together more than I would have ever guessed, but a bigger wake-up call was wondering if this could happen to me. I see a lot of similarities in my marriage and never would think divorce was in the cards. I don’t want to upset the apple cart by finding something wrong or thinking it is contagious, but I don’t want to wait until it is too late, and we are done! I would love to hear your thoughts.

Dear J.p.,

- J.P., Parkland

Your letter speaks to a common marital virus known as complacency. With so much going on in our lives we often don’t see the “forest through the trees” or what is right in front of us. Sometimes couples come to us describing vague symptoms that tell them something is wrong. They go about their daily lives and while it is all seems very nice, it is not really good. Emotions such as frustration or boredom go somewhere. Either they get dealt with and discarded or they get compacted down and one day rise to the surface, like you described, seemingly out of nowhere. The reality is, it isn’t out of nowhere; your friend just missed or ignored the signs. Some couples explain that they no longer spend time together, or share activities that they used to enjoy; others mention not feeling appreciated or valued or like they are special anymore. While this doesn’t have to herald the end of the marriage, these types of feelings and comments are certainly a wake up call. We often tell our couple clients that it is helpful to schedule a “marriage check-up” periodically to make sure that they are on “the same page” and both are satisfied with the relationship. These check-ups provide the opportunity for couples to sit down together to openly and honestly discuss both the positive and negative aspects of their relationship in a comfortable, confidential, and non-judgmental environment. As marriage and family therapists, we are able to guide couples toward conversation that will result in a positive outcome; very different from discussions at home that often result in an argument.

Instead of looking for what is “wrong” in the relationship, we help couples to identify what is “right”, and what they can do more of in order to move forward in a healthy and happy way.

Family Therapy Associates, “a center for positive change”, located in the Coral Springs/ Parkland area, is co-directed by Karen Kaplan, MS. Ed., and Dr. Debbie Swayman, both licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFT)’s. The practice focuses on relationship issues involving couples, families as well as life transition issues.

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.

LEGALLY SPEAKING IGnItE Your PowEr BYLINE HERE

BY TRacY, LIfE & LEadERsHIp coacH

Bye-Bye Complaining…Hey There Happiness.

Each day I am grateful and fortunate to serve people in changing their lives. In creating long-term, sustainable change into more peace, joy, happiness and fulfillment.

My clients are awesome and their growth is awinspiring.

Today, I am pumped to share a shift in behavior that has created fast and dramatic change in them…and now hopefully in you.

I invite you to give up complaining and bitching.

“Whaaaaattt??!” That’s right. No more complaining.

The other thing that’s super fascinating when you complain is that your brain actually starts to recall other alike instances where you might’ve felt the same amount of frustrated, pissed off, injustice or whatever’s going on in. It brings old resentments back to the surface, and keeps feeding all that negativity that’s taking root in your mind.

Complaining is like an executive order to your brain; “let’s be negative and feel like crap”.

Remember that your thoughts are things. Where your focus goes, your energy flows. If you are focused on everything that’s wrong, you just create more of in your life. That’s what the reticular activating system in your brain sees (the part of your brain that shows you things).

I know. It’s like I’m ripping your arm off. I cannot emphasize enough how important this one is.

Let me explain to you what happens inside your brain when you complain.

When you complain, you are orienting your brain into a negative, pessimistic space. You’re further deepening the negative neural pathways, the connections in your brain. You’re actually making them more rooted. Think of it like this; every time you complain, or bitch about something, it’s like you’re watering that thing, and helping it grow stronger.

When you choose to complain, you remain powerless to whatever it is you are complaining about. It also makes it more difficult to find solutions to your challenges.

And yes, complaining IS a choice. It is not just the way you are. Everything in life is a choice and starts with you making a new decision. A new decision to let go, change, shift or no longer tolerate.

When you are complaining, you are quite literally creating a huge distance between yourself and your joy.

So, are you ready to take me up on my invitation? Are you ready to feel happier…feel lighter? I know you will be so glad you did.

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.

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.

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.

Coral Springs ‘heroes’ help deliver baby during Hurricane Irma

By Nicol JeNkiNs

D

uring the height of Hurricane Irma, Coral Springs emergency personnel received an unusual rescue call.

It was around 3:30 in the afternoon on Sunday, September 10th and the winds just started whipping and howling outside Fire Station 43. They were over 45 mph, which made it extremely dangerous for local emergency teams to leave for rescues.

“We got a call and they said, ‘Do you want to deliver a baby?’ and I started laughing. They responded that they were serious,” recalled Coral Springs Assistant Fire Chief John Whalen.

Chief Whalen and Driver/ Engineer Chris Hurst immediately rushed into action, collecting all the supplies needed to help deliver a baby, from an OB kit to oxygen masks. Then, they hopped into their 4x4 Command Vehicle and headed to the family’s home.

“The storm was starting to get bad; we were worried that we were not going to get through. There were a lot of fallen trees and it looked like a war zone,” said Whalen.

When they rushed into the family’s home, the baby’s head had just popped out and the firefighters rushed to assist the mother, Ashley. The new grandmother Linda had helped deliver the baby in the bathroom, with help from emergency dispatchers. Surprisingly, the family- including mother Ashley, father Hayes, grandparents Linda and Bill and big brother Caleb, was calm and happy when the firefighters arrived at the home. The firefighters cut the umbilical cord and made sure the baby and mom were healthy after the birth. It was a girl! Weighing 7lbs, 7ozs and measuring 20 inches.

“The mother’s water broke; the family was going to drive themselves to the hospital, but the baby wasn’t going to wait. It only took 12 minutes for the baby to be born; the hospital said it was because of the drop in pressure from the hurricane,” said Whalen.

“We don’t deliver babies every day. It was a little nerve-racking for us but it actually went very smoothly,” added Hurst.

Ashley and her newborn needed to be transported to the hospital and the storm was at full-strength. In came the Coral Springs Police Bearcat, an armored rescue vehicle, equipped with SWAT officers and SWAT paramedics to transport mother and baby

safely to Coral Springs Medical Center. The team included: Sergeant Scott Myers, Sergeant Bill Reid, Detective Brian Koenig, Rescue Lieutenant Yair Soto and Rescue Lieutenant Joe Schiavo.

“It was pretty much the roughest part of the hurricane. We needed to get the mother and her baby to the hospital safely.

In the midst of it being a dangerous situation with heavy rain, winds and it being slippery, we got the mother on a backboard and put her and the baby in the Bearcat to bring them to the hospital. It was chaotic but our city really used the tools and equipment at its disposal, such as the armored Bearcat, to safely bring residents to the hospital during the hurricane,” said Sergeant Scott Myers. “It was also the great teamwork from Coral Springs police, fire and the emergency dispatch center that allowed us to have a good outcome of delivering the baby.”

Although the baby girl was born during Hurricane Irma, the mother will not be naming her Irma, but instead April. “We asked the mother if she was going to name her baby, Irma, and she said absolutely not,” said Chief Whalen.

A week after the delivery, the emergency personnel visited with the family and brought the baby gifts, which included a card with a photo of she and her mom being transported inside of the Bearcat, outfits, a blanket and stuffed animal, but perhaps the cutest gift, a pink onesie donning the CSFD logo and Future Firefighter below it. At the conclusion of the visit, the proud father Hayes remarked, “From the bottom of my heart, thank you for keeping my wife and my daughter safe.”

The local first responders say they will never forget the day they were able to deliver a baby during a hurricane.

“We have seen a lot of bad calls of people at their worst, it is rewarding to be part of a joyous moment,” said Hurst.

“To experience something like this is beyond words.

We are so happy to have such a great outcome, it could not have gone better,” exclaimed Chief Whalen.

COUPONS REDEEMED

(Family Features) Summer storm season may bring welcome rain, but some storms are strong enough to pack a dangerous punch. Planning ahead for this year’s wicked weather can help ensure you’re ready to weather whatever Mother Nature throws at you.

One of the most serious side effects of severe weather is the potential for power loss. In some cases, it can be just a nuisance with little more impact than the time it takes to reset clocks. However, when the outage lasts for hours or days, or when you rely on power for necessities like medical equipment, a power outage can be a major imposition.

Make sure your family is ready for any bad weather ahead this season with these tips:

1. Ensure there is a working flashlight in every room, so you can safely navigate no matter what time of day the power fails or where you are. Check the battery terminals for any signs of damage or corrosion, and replace old batteries to give you the fullest charge possible. Also invest in a quality lantern or two, so if you have to hunker down for a while, you can do so with the comfort of some far-reaching light.

After all, reading or playing board games is no fun by flashlight.

2. If you have advance warning of a coming storm, unplug devices that are especially susceptible to power-related damage, such as TVs and computers. In the event of storms that crop up suddenly or while you’re away from home, it’s best to keep major electronics like TVs, computers and printers plugged into a surge protector to prevent damage from flickering power or a surge when the power is restored.

3. Add a backup power source. Portable generators can provide essential power during a sustained power outage. An option like the Briggs & Stratton Q6500 QuietPower Series inverter generator delivers plenty of power to keep essential appliances and electronics running for up to 14 hours on a single tank of gas.

The quiet, lightweight generator has four GFCI 120V-20A outlets, one 120V-240V locking outlet and two USB outlets for flexibility to power whatever you need most.

Learn more at briggsandstratton.com and visit TakeYourGeneratorOutside.com to learn more about safely operating a portable generator.

4. Keep a ready supply of non-perishable snacks and drinks. Once the power goes out, you’ll want to avoid opening the refrigerator, which releases trapped cold air and reduces the amount of time food will store safely without spoiling. After most perishables are exposed to temperatures over 40 F for two hours, you’ll need to discard them, though a full, sealed freezer can hold its temperature for up to 48 hours.

Don’t forget to protect the furriest member of your family too.

CALL US TODAY! 954.580.8100

5. During a storm, keep the family together in one safe location. That way you can quickly communicate if you need to make an abrupt change, such as taking more protective cover. It also minimizes the possibility of injury from making your way through the home in the dark trying to locate family members.

Severe seasonal storms are the norm across many parts of the country. Planning ahead for potential problems, like power outages, can help ensure you weather the storm safely. www.CityNewsMagaziNe.CoM

Thankful for Our Community Happy October! As I sit and write this month’s column, our community has just been spared the worst of Hurricane Irma. It has been a trying time for everyone involved.

For several days leading up to the hurricane, it looked like all of us in Parkland were in the direct path of a category 5 hurricane. This was a scary time for everyone. Yet, it was also a time that we could clearly see the best in our community. Neighbors were helping neighbors and strangers. People were outside of their homes, getting ready for the storm, getting to know each other better and helping their neighbors prepare. We truly saw the strength of our wonderful residents and city.

October 1 is the start of a new Fiscal Year. It’s been a few weeks since Hurricane Irma hit Florida and I want to thank our residents for their patience during this time as we work to restore our community and cleanup debris. I couldn’t be prouder of our first responders and staff who worked throughout the storm to make sure our residents had the latest and greatest information before, during and after the storm.

Our hearts go out to The Keys and the West Coast who suffered the most damage during the storm. My hope is that we don’t get another storm of that magnitude ever again, but if we do, I am confident in our crews and there is no one else I’d want to weather it with.

Mayor Hunschofsky

Hurricane Irma affected people in our city, county and state in many different ways.

Some people never lost power, others lost it for days (or longer), some in other parts of the county and state lost their homes and sadly, several lost their lives. Those in Parkland who recovered quickly immediately went into action helping others.

They opened their homes to those without power, helped clear trees and debris, loaned generators, donated money, food and water and did whatever they could for those harder hit by the storm. While it has been a few weeks since the storm hit, throughout the state and the Caribbean many are still recovering and Parkland residents are still helping out.

Preparing for a storm well and recovering as quickly as possible takes so much coordination from many different entities. Most people don’t often see the work that goes on behind the scenes around the clock. We were very fortunate to have a wonderful city manager and amazing city staff who began preparations days before the storm hit and staffed our EOC 24 hours a day until the storm was over and recovery began. Our Coral Springs/Parkland Fire department and BSO police worked diligently to keep us safe. Broward Sheriff Scott Israel spoke with me during our preparations and offered his assistance if needed. Our County Commissioner Michael Udine was in constant contact with us, several times a day, and worked hard to get resources to our area and his entire district. Governor Rick Scott was in contact with the mayors on a daily basis offering his staff resources to assist with, answer and follow up on any concerns we had. State Senator Kevin Rader and State Representative Kristen Jacobs checked in to offer their assistance. Our US Congressman Ted Deutch checked in before the storm and worked with others after the storm to have Broward County added to the FEMA eligible list. Our entire Parkland City Commission remained here during the storm and worked with staff to make sure the needs of our residents were met. Last but not least, we had linemen from our state and other states working tirelessly to restore our power. Thank you to ALL who helped before, during and after the storm.

We are fortunate that the City of Parkland weathered the storm as well as we did and we have several wonderful events coming up in October such as the Parkland Dash on Sunday the 8th, Eats ‘n’ Beats (Saturday the 14th), Movies in the Park (Friday the 20th), and Trunk or Treat (Friday the 27th). Please try to get out in our community and attend some of these events. As the weather cools we start looking forward to our Parkland Farmers’ Market season, which starts on November 5.

As always, I look forward to hearing from you. Please feel free to contact me at chunschofsky@cityofparkland.org with any of your questions or concerns.

LEGALLY HEALTH &SPEAKING WELLNESS BYLINE

BY DR.HERE SIMON WONG

Sustainable Diet

FAMIly FeATureS

S

ocial responsibility comes in all shapes and sizes, but ultimately it comes down to one common purpose: making the world a better place. From volunteering at local shelters and community centers to feeding those in need at your local food bank, there are countless ways to give back within your community.

According to the Bureau of labor Statistics, only 25 percent of people in the u.S. volunteered in 2015. However, studies on health and volunteering show that people who volunteer report feeling emotionally, mentally and physically better. Multiple studies show that volunteering has been linked to lower stress levels, lower levels of depression and longevity.

If that’s not incentive enough, lending support to organizations in your community can often bring immediate and tangible results that give you a connection and sense of community. There are some programs that even enable people to make a difference by matching them with volunteer or funding opportunities. One example is the America’s Farmers Grow Communities program, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund.

“It’s exciting to see communities strengthened by their residents,” said Angela Allen, program manager for the America’s Farmers Grow Communities program, which focuses on supporting local nonprofits in rural communities with the help of local farmers. “The good news is there are several simple and easy ways people can get involved in their communities and make a difference.”

Here are five ways that you can lend a hand: Volunteering. Nonprofit organizations rely on the support of loyal donors and volunteers to deliver on their missions to improve the communities they serve. Time and talent are among the most valuable gifts you can give a deserving cause. One of the greatest benefits of volunteering is the chance to put your energy and abilities to use for a cause you care about, whether it’s feeding the hungry, rescuing animals or some other cause that is close to your heart.

Volunteering provides a feel-good way to pursue your personal interests.

Giving blood. According to the American red Cross, every 2 seconds someone in the u.S. needs blood. There is an ongoing need to replenish a communities’ blood supplies, whether for medical uses or in the aftermath of a tragedy. Giving blood is fast, relatively painless and can save lives.

OCTOBER 2017

Donating. Money doesn’t make the world go ’round, or so the saying goes. However, it can make a difference when it comes to bettering the community. Nonprofit and community organizations rely on monetary contributions not only to fulfill their existing program needs, but also to expand those services to impact more people. rather than a single, one-time gift, consider setting up an ongoing donation so your impact continues over time. For small or rural nonprofits in particular, a little bit goes a long way. Another touching way to donate funds: give in honor of a loved one, either as a gift for a special occasion or in memoriam. rather than giving your parents a gift for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, think about a small donation to their favorite charity.

Applying for funding opportunities.

Another way to help your community thrive is by exploring avenues to create new funding opportunities for nonprofits. For example, the America’s Farmers Grow Communities program provides farmers an opportunity to help a nonprofit of their choice. Eligible farmers can enroll in the program until Nov. 1 at GrowCommunities.com for a chance to direct a $2,500 donation to a local eligible nonprofit organization. Since 2010, the program has given more than $26 million to nonprofits, including food banks, emergency response organizations, youth agriculture programs and more.

Paying it forward. Not every step you take in support of your community has to be a large one. In fact, the ripple effect of a series of smaller deeds can have a truly momentous impact. you can set the feel-good wheels in motion in your own community by simply thinking about a time when someone generously gave their own resources to benefit you and paying forward that kindness with a matching endeavor. you might let a frenzied mom go ahead of you in line at the grocery store or pay for a meal for the elderly couple behind you at the drivethru. Small gestures spread a feel-good spirit that can encourage others to do their part to make the community a better place, as well.

These are just a few ways that you can give back. Get out and meet with your friends and neighbors in your community to discover how you can best use your time and talents to help the greater good.

Those that have followed my writing for a while know that I have no particular fondness for any specific diet plan other than following a general principal of eating healthy diet of low carbohydrates, with healthy protein and fat. Any diet plan, to me, has to pass a “sustainability” test. That is, ask yourself a simple question: Can I do this for the rest of my life? If the answer is a resounding NO due to your personal taste, undue hardship, or prohibitive cost, don’t start it even if it “work”. Because eventually, you are going to resume your regular diet, thereby your “regular” weight A diet that does fit into your accustom diet habit isn’t going to work because you just can’t sustain on something you don’t like or can’t afford. Paleo diet for a vegetarian, or Mediterranean diet for an Asian just aren’t going to work. Personally, I am not a fan of any liquid diet or juicing- to me, it’s akin to starving yourself to death which definitely fail my sustainability test.

A $100 per week meal plan (average diet meals sold by a commercial weight loss program) for the rest of my life is way beyond many people’s budget, not mentioning getting sick and tired of the same selected round of frozen dinners after a while.

sustained, but less pronounced energy boost. Whole grains are a great example of complex carbs. In addition, non sustainable constant high insulin surge (in reaction to high simple carb) also facilitate your body’s fat storage.

My prescribed diet regiment follows the basic principal of eating healthy by consuming a low calories diet consisting of low carbohydrates (minimize bread, pasta, rice) with healthy protein and fat.

Any carbohydrates consumed should have high fiber content (fruit and vegetable). The fat and fiber would give you the satiety in addition to low glycemic index- reducing the surge of glucose, thereby insulin to avoid/ reduce sugar crash, fat storage facilitation and chronic inflammation. Don’t forget (pun intended), fat facilitates our cognitive function, especially for the elderly. Following are the examples of carbohydrates, fat and protein diet I have written in my prior articles.

The body rarely burns protein as its sole fuel source, and when it does it is usually under conditions of starvation. Interestingly, when no carbohydrate is present in the diet, the body will use the amino acid backbones of protein to form glucose (a carbohydrate) in order to supply the brain with adequate energy, therefore a high protein diet is important for any low carb dieting effort.

Animal-based foods are called complete proteins because each serving contains all the essential amino acids. Plant-based foods -- except for soy and quinoa, which are complete plant proteins -- have too little of at least one essential amino acid, so they’re called incomplete proteins. Different types of incomplete proteins fill in each others missing amino acids, so eating various grains, legumes and vegetables over the course of the day nets complete protein if you are on a vegetarian diet.

Carbohydrates To consume the proper kind of carbohydrate, we need to differentiate between simple versus complex carbohydrates. Simple carbs enter the bloodstream rapidly, they get metabolized quickly. This causes you to lose that energy boost fast, which is why you often feel “de-energized” an hour or so after eating “junk food”. In contrast, complex carbs get degraded by the gut much less rapidly, and therefore slowly trickle into the bloodstream. This gives you a more

Fat The next fuel that gets burned is fat. All human beings have a certain percentage of body weight that is fat. From an evolutionary stand point this is advantageous. During times of drought or famine there were not enough crops to provide adequate carbohydrates, and thus humans survived by “burning” their fat stores. As I have mentioned above, high dietary fat will facilitate the ketosis effort i.e. burning your body fat for energy. Plant based fat are preferred source of good fat e.g. nut, seed, some legume, and even from fruit (avocado).

Sensible amount of animal fat would be okay, just don’t go too far like what Dr Atkins did with his “meat and bacon” diet which would increase risk of cardiac disease.

Protein

Always consult with your physician before you adopt a new diet program.

Varicose Veins? Might be More than Meets the Eye

BY MINDI RUDAN We’ve all seen them; on the beach, bulging behind summer shorts or marring the look of an otherwise great “gam” or worse---on our own legs in the mirror: Varicose or spider veins. Defined basically as veins that have become enlarged and twisted, the “bulge,” appears when valves or the pair of “leaflet valves” veins have no longer meet properly, and simply put, the valves just don’t work anymore. (Valvular incompetence.) This causes blood being pumped from your heart-- that the oft taken for granted, hard-working veins carry to and fro-- to back up, if you will, creating the unsightly bulge we know as varicose veins. Most common in the superficial veins in the legs, which are subjected to high pressure from standing, too much sitting, inactivity or the dastardly leg crossing, these veins can actually be found anywhere on the body, even the face.

While most people seek remedy for the cosmetic aesthetics, there’s much more reason to check them out—especially as we age. And while there are countless vein clinics, or even medical “spas” that offer to treat the malady, few bear the pedigree of board certified, world-renown cardiologist Ariel Soffer, founder of Soffer Health Institute, now with SIX locations. His professional credits could fill a page alone, but his personal passion for this field and his journey towards it--is much deeper. This IS the doctor who for FOUR years had an ABC News Health segment called “Dr. Soffer’s Second Opinion.”The same doctor medical companies still call to test and give input on new methodology, new tools, techniques and breakthroughs.

This IS the doctor who gives a seminar in New Orleans every year for 3-500 other highly skilled physicians who travel from all over the country to learn from him. HIS techniques, his innate diagnostic ability and gain his insight into this specialty. He’s that talented, and that committed.

And lucky for us, his SoFla locations are graced by him –and a hand-picked and trained staff every day. His website heralds almost rock star adoration from legions of patients, some whose lives have potentially been saved, and countless others he’s made more livable and enjoyable because of his “vein whisperer-ish” knowledge, talent and years of focused experience.

“He’s clearly the top of this pyramid,” offered Adam

Kustin, company spokesperson and someone who’s clearly enamored of Dr. Soffer’s skill and humility after seeing what he does every day. “In this field, he is as good as it gets, yet the man is so kind, so warm and so approachable, it has spawned the growth of this practice.” And call me crazy, but when you are talking about your vascular health, your overall well-being and your potential to enjoy living life, going to a “medical spa” to be treated for veins that work in tandem with your heart daily—SHOULDN’T be a crap-shoot. “You want the best,” said Kustin. “Two people can walk in with the same bulging vein issue, but there’s no way to tell if either has any real underlying health issues. It’s more than just cosmetic.” And Dr. Soffer’s ability makes sure patients don’t walk out just cosmetically beautiful, but walk out KNOWING there isn’t a serious hidden health issue that could be life threatening just down the road. “Sometimes people aren’t bothered by the bulging vein but they experience achy, very tired legs, numbness or restless legs and they never associate these “symptoms” with varicose veins. That’s why seeing a doctor as qualified as Dr. Soffer and his staff becomes so vital.”

And fixing the issue is relatively simple. “And pain-free,” he added. “Most procedures involve closing the vein, sometimes repairing it. The new lasers are very low risk, super accurate and extremely effective. We can also inject saline. It depends on the severity.” When asked why this doctor has made vein health his focus

when he clearly is still regarded as one of America’s top cardiologists, the answer brought staggering clarity and a character trait we all want in our doctors. “It was emotional for Dr. Soffer. He wanted to stop fixing the sometimes near unfixable issues in cardiology.

Instead he wants to help people prevent these lifethreatening issues BEFORE they take a toll. Before they compromise how a patient lives life …and he gets an immediate hug,” half-joked Kustin. “He SEES people pain free, enjoying life again who didn’t even know it was possible for them. They never connected the dots, he does.” With six offices locally, Deerfield Beach, Weston, Pembroke Pines, Aventura, North Miami Beach, Hialeah/Miami Lakes, Dr. Soffer is accessible.

His staff is multi-lingual, welcoming and most importantly willing to help people start the process.

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.

When it comes to nutrition, every dog has specific needs and you know them best. Each dog is unique and his or her food should be as well.

When deciding which dog food works best for your pet, keep personalized foods like Just Right by Purina in mind, which can help address your dog’s unique needs. It combines your firsthand knowledge with nutritional expertise to create the best dog food blend for your dog. By answering just a few questions about your pet’s breed size, eating habits and more, you can create a personalized blend of food that includes your dog’s name, photo and feeding recommendation that gets shipped directly to your door.

“Every pet is an individual and that includes how we feed them,” said veterinarian Dr. Marty Becker, a 17-year veteran of “Good Morning America” and founder of Fear Free. “A highly personalized diet tuned to their specific needs and combined with plenty of exercise and regular veterinary care can dramatically impact their nutrition, health and wellbeing.”

Feeding your dog personalized food could help yield these five benefits: Healthy skin and coat By providing important details about your dog’s skin and its needs, certain ingredients can be included in order to avoid dry and itchy skin. Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil, along with vitamin A and linoleic acid, can help keep your pup’s skin refreshed and can give your dog’s coat the nourishment it needs to be shiny and healthy.

Ideal body condition Being the right weight can contribute to a lot of different health factors, but having an ideal body condition can be about more than just the amount of food you feed your pet. The right amount of www.CityNewsMagaziNe.CoM

fats and proteins can help keep your dog right where he or she needs to be. Choosing a formula with chicken, salmon or lamb as the first ingredient can help your dog’s body feel strong and healthy with their high amounts of protein. Just as important, each dog has different metabolisms and different caloric needs, so personalized feeding instructions like those offered by Just Right by Purina can help your dog reach his or her ideal body condition.

Many dogs are often on the move – walking, running and playing. Having healthy bones and joints can support your dog’s overall health, especially in developing puppies, large breeds and senior dogs. Choosing a formula with proper amounts of calcium and phosphorus can help support joints and bones.

Brain development Puppies need all the help they can get when it comes to growing and supporting life-long health. Giving them foods that include nutrients like DHA that support brain and vision development can inspire your puppy’s curiosity about the world.

Active lifestyle Overall, diet has a big impact on providing the nutrients needed to energize your dog every day, all day long, and ingredients in their food can provide the complete and balanced pet nutrition that helps promote an allaround active lifestyle.

Young or old, big or small, every dog’s nutritional needs are unique. For more helpful tips and ways to benefit your dog at mealtime, visit justrightpetfood.com.

Acupuncture & Breast Cancer Awareness By now everyone knows what the pink ribbon signifies. According to the latest statistics, about 1 in 8 U.S. women, that’s 12%, will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.

If you are reading this, that means you probably know someone, whether a friend, family member, or partner, that will be impacted by breast cancer. The good news is that increased awareness has led to earlier detection through screening, more funding for research, and treatment advances resulting in better outcomes. In numerous publications, including the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA), and university studies by Duke and Memorial Sloan – Kettering, acupuncture has been shown to be a valuable addition to treatment in:

The use of tonic mushrooms is particularly exciting in our treatment protocols. We have several mushroom formulas that have been shown to improve immune status in immunocompromised breast cancer patients following standard primary oncologic treatment. Compounds from mushrooms such as shitake, maitake and reshi may have anti-cancer effects and may increase survival rates in cancer patients.

Community remembers 9/11 heroes on 16th Anniversary

By Nicol JeNkiNs Not a day goes by that John Napolitano doesn’t remember his son’s smile or his search for him under rubble after the World Trade Center Twin Towers collapsed on September 11, 2001.

Sixteen years later, time doesn’t heal his broken heart and there is no form of closure over the loss of his son, John Napolitano, Jr., one of the fallen heroes of 9/11 who was a Lieutenant for FDNY Rescue 2 and died while saving others in the North Tower of the World Trade Center. John was a wellrespected firefighter, everyone admired him including his Captain, and he left behind a wife and two daughters.

“There is no closure. There is not one day in the 16 years that I do not find myself at the World Trade Center, that I do not think of my son and others lost on that day,” said Napolitano.

The father spoke about his experience on 9/11 to local firefighters, students and staff at the 4th Annual JP Taravella 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb. During the event, over 100 participants climbed flights of stairs symbolizing the 110 stories of the WTC Twin Towers. The event benefitted the National Fallen Firefighter Foundation, a commemoration for the firefighters who lost their lives as a result of the 9/11 tragedy and a fundraiser for families of firefighters lost in the line of duty.

saying, “I love you, Mom”. I will miss him forever and literally a piece of my heart went with him. I had a heart attack the night he died,” said Joanne. “The message I hope to send to others and my firefighter family is to continue to love and help one another. My family and I are so thankful for the brotherhood of the firefighters and the Fallen Firefighters Foundation.”

James Simmons, teacher and DECA Advisor, says the school’s DECA, SHAPE, and SADD clubs wanted to honor those former students lost in 9/11 and the fallen heroes.

“I learned about NFFF Stair Climbs from my nephew, who runs a climb as a firefighter in Alabama, and found it to be an excellent opportunity to educate my students about the tragedy that occurred when they were very young,” said Simmons. “Overall, I hope attendees gain a remembrance of the selfless acts of the firefighters on 9/11 trying to save others while risking their own lives. For students, an awareness of the tragedy and an increased respect and appreciation of their local firefighters.”

Melissa Livermore, Taravella student and Co-Chair of 9/11 Stair Climb, believes, “students can definitely benefit by learning how hard 9/11 hit the nation.”

For those who have been directly impacted by 9/11, their lives will never be the same. They are part of the 9/11 family. Donations to the National Fallen Firefighter Foundation can be made at www.firehero.org.

Hurricane Having a natural disaster headed towards you makes you sit and prioritize life. While Hurricane Irma, left our neighborhoods powerless and some areas treeless, we were lucky and we survived.

Preparations for natural disasters are hard and somewhat impossible to do. How can you prepare for the inevitable? With a hurricane there is time to prepare but we are limited to what and how we can prepare.

With an Earthquake, it is impossible. Thus, there are limitations to prepare for natural disasters. Preparation can begin with having your hurricane supply kits readily available and important paperwork available such as you Estate Planning Paperwork.

What is a Trust?

A trust is a set of instructions which come into effect as soon as the trust is created which means that it provides property management during your life and/ or after your death. My best comparison is a trust is almost like a company, one you manage while your alive, and if your become incapacitated or die, it can be managed by your successors according to your instructions.

Differences between a Will and a Trust

What is a Will?

Apart from the main difference that a will comes into effect only after death whereas a trust is in effect during lifetime and after death, there are many more things to think about when deciding between the two estate planning tools. Here is a list of some of the more significant differences which a trust attorney can explain in further detail:

A will is a written document, signed and witnessed, which sets out instructions for the disposition of your estate only at the time of or after the event of your death.

•A will and the property in the will is subject to the probate process; a trust and assets in the trust are not subject to the probate process. However, assets in both plans may be subject to federal estate tax.

With that said, why not make put on the top of your list, “Get a Will or Trust prepared and make the process easier for your family.

•A will allows you to assign a guardian for your minor children; a trust allows you to control when and how your minor children, grandchildren and other dependents access your trust assets.

•The assets in a will do not need to be managed; a trust can only plan for assets which have actively been transferred into the trust, therefore the assets in a trust need to be actively managed.

•The actions of a trustee are not usually overseen by a court; the actions of an executor of a will are court supervised through the probate process.

•Because a will is only effective after death, it does not allow for instances where the person becomes incapacitated through injury or illness or old age; a trust provides a plan for the possibility of incapacity.

Fingerling Potato Salad Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes Servings: 6 1 1/2

3

pounds mixed Wisconsin fingerling potatoes 2 large lemons, divided 2 cups water 2 tablespoons coarse kosher salt tablespoons white balsamic vinegar 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 1/2 teaspoons whole cumin seeds 3/4 teaspoon whole coriander seeds pepper, to taste 4 green onions, thinly sliced 1/3 cup chopped fresh dill salt, to taste 2 cups baby arugula

In large pot of boiling, salted water, cook potatoes until just tender when pierced with fork, about 15 minutes.

Drain and cool slightly.

Slice one lemon into 1/8-inch-thick rounds. In small saucepan, combine sliced lemon, water and kosher salt; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until lemon slices are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain lemons then coarsely chop.

Cut remaining lemon in half and squeeze out 2 tablespoons juice. In small bowl, mix chopped lemons, lemon juice, white balsamic vinegar and oil. Coarsely crush cumin and coriander seeds using mortar and pestle. Mix seeds into lemon dressing. Season, to taste, with pepper.

Cut lukewarm potatoes in half lengthwise. Place in large, shallow bowl. Mix in green onions and dill. Pour lemon dressing over and toss to coat. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add arugula and toss gently.

Serve lukewarm or at room temperature.

Farm-Fresh Festivities

Rustic vibe Adding some rustic decor can help spruce up your table or serve as an accessory for your farm-to-table dinner party. Also consider adding a bit of fall-flare with decorations such as pumpkins, squash and brightly colored leaves.

Seasonal fare It’s easy to get inspired with the variety of things you can find at your local farmers market. Ingredients like onions can be used in this Baked Fish recipe while a batch of locally sourced potatoes is the perfect foundation for a Fingerling Potato Salad.

Healthy Eatings

Think Outside the Lunchbox (Family Features) Eating the same thing every day can make lunch seem so “blah.” Now’s the perfect time to break out of the lunch rut and add some excitement to your meals.

Thinking outside the traditional lunchbox is easy with the right ingredients. Perk up your noontime noshing with fresh, seasonal ingredients coupled with kitchen pantry classics, like California Ripe Olives, which add a unique flavor and bold, distinctive color to any dish.

California farmers grow more than 95 percent of the ripe olives consumed in the United States. From planting, pruning, harvesting and processing, they make sure that the highest quality olives come from their farms to your table – one can at a time.

Adding olives to any lunch can help bring California sunshine to each and every bite. Try some of these portable and packable recipes to add excitement to lunch on-the-go and find more at calolive.org.

4 pint-size canning jars with lids Salads: 1/4 medium red onion, thinly sliced 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved 1/2 large English cucumber, sliced 1 yellow or orange bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 3/4 cup California black ripe olives 1/2 cup (4 ounces) crumbled feta cheese 4 small handfuls fresh baby spinach or other dark, leafy greens 4 pita bread rounds, halved (optional) To prepare dressing: In small bowl, whisk together vinegar, salt, pepper, oregano and honey.

Gradually whisk in oil. Taste. Add additional salt and pepper, if desired.

Divide dressing between four pint jars.

To assemble salads: Divide onion between four jars. Divide tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, olives and feta cheese between jars. Pack remaining space with spinach, compressing leaves slightly.

Secure lids and refrigerate up to two days.

To serve: Empty salads into bowls and toss with dressing. Serve with pita bread.

PUZZLE ANSWERS

Ethical Verse Moral

By Jeremiah Whyre of the manifestation of the Word ministries along With terry ChamBerlain

nowadays there is a lot of talk about ethics and morality.

what is not. it will show us what his will is. it will guide us and give us wisdom.

technically, there is no difference between the two. in the dictionary, the words are used almost interchangeably.

functioning in a moral way isn’t merely avoiding bad things, it is pursuing good things, or, in other words, love.

in society, however, there is a distinct difference. ethics are the rules that govern acceptable behavior. ethics are an expression of efficiency. Because ethics are a set of rules that people agree to abide by, they can change with the culture of the society. morality is concerned with right and wrong. morality refers to a standard of behavior that is true whether anyone agrees with it or not. morality is an absolute truth, above the opinions of humans. if morality can be redefined by humans, it isn’t morality, it’s ethics.

hitler wasn’t unethical, he was immoral. he was downright wrong.

What he did wasn’t unethical, it was evil.

so Jesus identified the highest moral principle when he said, “greater love has no one than that they should lay down their life for another.”

in order to have morality, you must have a god, someone (not something) that defines what is right or wrong, someone who is above human opinion, who prefers one thing to another. morality is about conscience. to violate one’s conscience is wrong, not unethical.

most people think that conscience is what makes you feel guilty, but that is not at all correct.

Conscience is what makes you aware of what is right or wrong. the guilty feelings part we add on ourselves. guilt is actually self-condemnation. god doesn’t condemn us, he merely makes us aware of what is right or wrong. you will notice, i said right or wrong. it’s both. our conscience, when we learn to listen to it, will not only show us what god doesn’t want us to do, it will show us what is from him and

www.CityNewsMagaziNe.CoM

love is an unsentimental dynamic that says, “i want the best for you enough to give you my best.”

society struggles to establish an ethical standard because the rules governing that standard are humanmade, and they can thereby be changed, and often are. since there is no absolute dynamic that the ethical standard comes from (unlike morality), the standard ends up being based on what is most popular.

so today, people function in our society in ways that are declared ethical even though not many years ago they were considered immoral, and indeed, according to the definition of morality that comes from beyond humanity, they still are.

People very much want to abolish morality and just have ethics because ethics are so fluid and changeable.

But if you abolish morality, you abolish god (which indeed, is frequently the goal). this is because, if there is no god, there is no right or wrong, merely what people decide. “you can’t force your morality on me, nor i on you. What’s wrong for you isn’t necessarily wrong for me.” if you follow that road down to its logical conclusion, you find that, if there is no morality and no god, there is no purpose for existence except to give in to one’s instincts, desires and feelings, which is the same as the rest of the animals in the animal kingdom. indeed, morality is what sets us apart from them.
