BEYOND THE PAIN

By Dr Dominick J. Ranieri I I I

When most people think about Chiropractic what do they envision? Most people would think about neck and back pain, whiplash, or some might even think about peak performance athletes getting adjusted during a game. Treating pain is just the beginning of what Chiropractic has to offer the world and I'm excited to show Fort Lauderdale what Chiropractic can do to help improve their quality of life.

RADICAL DOCTOR BELIEVES THAT THE BEST WAY TO GET HEALTHY IS TO STAY HEALTHY.

At Coast to Coast Chiropractic Healthcare we believe that Chiropractic is the process of analyzing the spine and nervous system using the latest technology so that we can detect and correct small misalignments of the vertebrae, known as subluxations. Subluxations prevent the proper flow of information to and from the brain. They occur when the bones of the spine misalign putting pressure on the nerves, thereby generating the wrong signals to your brain and/or body. When that happens your body starts to malfunction or express "dis-ease". By removing the subluxation we remove the stress on the nervous system, allowing your body to express health to its maximum potential the way it was designed to.

We believe that health is simple, "the power that made the body, heals the body", therefore all we do is make sure that we empower the body to do so.

Towing, boarding is easy with the PRJ Shadow Catamaran 40

The PRJ Shadow Cat 40 is the answer to chase tender challenges. Decades at sea have led superyacht Captain Pedro Camargo to innovate this 40-foot catamaran power boat with optimized onboard space, shallow draft, stability, performance, and easy towing.

The first thing mariners notice is the electric extending bow ramp. With a button, the 33-inch wide platform, (wide enough for a wheelchair), lowers in the water at anchor, underway, or to the dock or beach for loading.

Perfect for diverse tasks, the Shadow Cat 40 can house personal watercraft, scuba diving gear, fishing equipment, paddleboards, and beach toys. The customizable cockpit modular design

allows for removable tables and seats under a 130 square-foot carbon-fiber hardtop. Also, passengers enjoy an air-conditioned head and cabin.

Twelve guests fit in comfort in 215 square-feet of deck and cockpit area. Lighter construction allows for smaller, more economical engines that use about a gallon per mile at cruising speed of 32 to 35 miles per hour with two 400 horse power Mercury Verado motors. Two aluminum tanks hold 300 gallons of fuel for a range of about 280 miles. The PRJ Shadow Cat 40 is trailerable at 9,500 pounds before fueling.

Top 5 Things to Consider When Buying a Waterfront Home in South Florida.

DOES THE HOUSE HAVE “FIXED BRIDGES” TO TRAVEL UNDER TO GET TO THE OCEAN?

The first point that a boater is going to pay attention to when purchasing a waterfront home is whether there is a fixed bridge that their boat must travel under to get to the Intracoastal waterway and eventually out to the ocean via boat travel. If there is a fixed bridge or multiple fixed bridges then the boater would need to ensure that their boat could fit under all the fixed bridges. Always get the answers to the following questions: What is the clearance to travel under the bridges both at low tide and at high tide. If there is not a fixed bridge and height is not an issue for a large vessel always make sure that the width of the canal is adequate for your boat. Be knowledgeable about any fixed bridges and you will be ready to cruise right out to the ocean on your boat without any issues and just relax!

IS THE SEAWALL OF THE HOME IN GOOD CONDITION?

When purchasing a waterfront home in South Florida make sure you have the seawall thoroughly inspected by a certified marine contractor. Always make it a point to be aware of the following questions: Is the seawall constructed with batter piles or is it a rock wall? Are there any cracks that need to be filled with hydraulic cement? Does the “Cap of the wall” need to be raised to prevent flooding at certain times a year. Is there a proper footer at the base of the seawall to prevent any erosion. Is there any marine growth that needs to be cleaned off the face of the seawall? All of these questions should be addressed at the time of inspection to evaluate the condition of the seawall. Take care of your seawall

and you will be a happy waterfront homeowner for years to come!

IS THE DOCK READY “BOAT READY”?

Is the dock of the home ready to accommodate a boat on day one of your ownership? Some of the major features that you should review about the dock are the following: Does the dock already have heavy fenders to prevent your boat from banging against the pilings when docking a boat. Are there S cleats already installed on the dock to allow for docking a vessel? Is there a power/ water station installed on the dock to allow for shore power? (Make sure that there is enough power coming to the dock for your vessel.) Is there proper lighting installed on the pilings of the dock to allow for docking at night? Are there safety ladders on both sides of the dock to allow someone access to get in and out of the water if necessary. Make sure that your dock is “Boat Ready”, and you will enjoy boating safely from your dock from day one!

DO I NEED A BOAT LIFT? IS THE HOME IN A NO WAKE ZONE?

Watching boat traffic is beautiful and one of the main reasons that people enjoy living on the water in South Florida. But the one thing that comes with boat traffic is boat wake. Boat wake can cause your boat to “knock into” your dock. Over time this can cause both damage to your boat and damage to the dock. One solution to protect your vessel and extend the life of the boat is a boat lift. If there is a lift located at the property, the questions that you need to get answers to are the following: How much does my boat weigh and will the lift support the weight of my

boat? Is the motor of the boat lift working properly? Is the lift traveling up and down the tracks smoothly or does any marine growth need to be removed from the tracks of the lift. Does the boat lift have a remote control, and are all the remote controls present at closing? Keeping your boat out of the water on a boat lift can be a fantastic feature so keep your boat “high and dry” and you will

IS THE DEPTH OF THE WATER APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR BOAT? CAN I DREDGE THE CANAL IF I NEED TO?

One major issue that people don’t always pay attention to is the depth of the water off their dock. In many cases in South Florida the water depth can be very shallow at low tide. This is often times the case if a boat has not been docked there for many years and sediment has accrued over time. If this is the case one might say, “I will just dredge, no big deal.” But sometimes it is not always that simple. To dredge in a canal, you must get a permit. The first question to ask would be: Is there any seagrass growing on the bottom of the canal. Seagrass is a part of the natural ecosystem in South Florida, and it is protected food source for manatees. Many times, it cannot be removed. Consult a professional prior purchasing the home to determine the depth of the canal and confirm that you can obtain a permit to dredge if necessary. No boat likes to sit on the bottom of the canal. Make sure the water is an ample depth to accommodate your boat any you and your boat will be ready to enjoy boating from your home!

When living in South Florida, being on or around the water is one of the simple pleasures in life. Create a safe and functional environment for boating at your property and then you can enjoy waterfront living for years to come.

IGFA RELEASE RECOMMENDATIONS

Modifying the types of hooks you use can significantly affect a fish’s chances for survival after it is released. When fishing with natural bait (dead or alive), IGFA strongly encourages the use of non-offset circle hooks. Extensive research on species from salmon to sailfish has demonstrated that circle hooks gut hook significantly fewer fish without sacrificing catch rates. Lures that have treble hooks should have the barbs bent down or removed to facilitate easier hook removal.

Interested in the science behind circle hooks? Read Circle hooks, 'J' hooks and drop-back time: a hook performance study of the south Florida recreational live-bait fishery for sailfish, Istiophorus platypterus published in Fisheries Management and Ecology in 2007.

If you’re not going to photograph your fish or document it for record purposes, the best method is to not remove the fish from the water. In-water releases can be aided by the use of de-hooking devices that eliminate the need to boat the fish and keep hands safe distances away from the fish. If the fish has swallowed the hook, it is much better for the angler to cut the leader as close to the fish as possible, rather than trying to forcibly remove the hook.

If a fish needs to be removed from the water to remove the hook and/or document it for record purposes, anglers should use either their hands or knotless, rubberized landing net. Most small to moderately large sized fish can be landed by hand. Ideally, this should be done with wet hands or soft, wet gloves to minimize slime and scale loss. Lip gripping devices may be used to help subdue fish. However, they should not be used to hoist fish vertically out of the water, as this can cause damage to jaw muscle and bone as well as to internal organs. The best method for removing fish from the water is to grip the fish or the lower jaw and support the fish’s underside. Again, the point is always to hold fish horizontally and not vertically.

Foundation works worldwide to advance the conservation of billfish and associated species to improve the health of oceans and economies. Considering the context of a planet with over seven billion human inhabitants, conservation strategies must be forward-looking and adaptive. By accounting for the roles of billfish within the marine environment as well as in relation to their interactions with humanity, TBF’s conservation campaigns maintain the flexibility to adapt to emergent threats as well as those which have historically confronted resource managers. TBF employs a multi-tiered, proactive suite of initiatives involving research—both biological and socioeconomic–education, and advocacy projects. As billfish and other highly migratory species are not confined to the territorial waters of any one nation, these strategies must also take into account the differences in culture and law inherent to the international arena. Empowered by an internationally diverse constituent network, The Billfish Foundation is uniquely equipped to do just this.

The Billfish

Established in 1990, The Billfish Foundation’s Tag and Release Program is the largest private billfish tagging database in the world and the cornerstone of TBF’s conservation and advocacy efforts. With more than 220,000 tag and release reports, TBF receives over 15,000 tag and release records annually from across the globe and provides vital information for billfish conservation.

The success of TBF’s Tag and Release program is contributed to the dedicated anglers and captains around the globe that voluntarily tag, release, and report their billfish catches. The deployment of traditional tags and the data gathered from recaptured billfish provides valuable scientific data to further understand growth rates, migratory patterns, habitat utilization, and post-release survival rates. Tag and release data also provides valuable information for stock assessments that are instrumental in a time when industrial longlines represent the largest source of marlin mortality. This valuable data, much of it impossible to measure without the use of traditional tagging, provides the groundwork for conservation minded policy, scientific advancement, and gives insight into the demographics and socio-economic benefits generated from billfishing.

As tagging provides The Billfish Foundation with substance for its conservation efforts, TBF recognizes those anglers and captains that tag and release the most billfish each year at an awards ceremony at the Miami International Boat Show. The annual International Tag & Release Competition recognizes members who tag and release the most billfish by species in

each of the world’s oceans. TBF award winners are the ‘who’s who of the billfishing world’ and are those that do not just catch and release a great number of fish, but embody and share a common conservation ethic. As captains and anglers on the water represent the first line in billfish conservation, recognition of their efforts provides a means to illustrate the direct link between catch and release fishing and marine conservation. To recognize the efforts of all of its members, TBF also provides release certificates for those that report billfish tags and releases.

PROPER TAGGING TECHNIQUES

AFTER THE FISH IS LEADERED: Bring the billfish alongside the boat. Idle the boat forward and maintain this position to allow the billfish to calm down and allow for easier tagging. Never attempt to tag a jumping or thrashing fish. This can be not only dangerous for the health of the billfish but for you too!

NEVER remove the fish from the water. This can result in fatal damage to the fish for two reasons. Excess rubbing and drying can result in the loss of the protective slime coat found on the surface of the fish. Without this protective covering, the fish becomes susceptible to bacterial infections and parasites. Additionally, the skeleton of a billfish is designed for the buoyant conditions of the ocean. Removing the fish from the water, even onto the gunnel, causes the skeleton to come under the full strain of gravity, which can damage the skeleton and internal organs.

It is vitally important that the tag be placed in the proper area: in the dorsal muscle well behind the head and gill plates, above the lateral line and away from all vital organs (see Figure 1). It is not necessary to use a great deal of force to insert the tag. A firm, well-aimed stroke is best. Place the appli cator against the fish’s flank and push, inserting the tag until the stopper assembly is pressed against the fish. Improper tag placement or tagging too hard can result in serious injury or death to the fish. Speed tagging often results in injury. (800) 438-8247 • (954) 938-0150 5100 N.

Marine Insurance Tips

1) Current Trends in Marine Insurance:

We are presently in a tough market for marine insurance, especially on vessels over 30 feet and over 15 years of age.

South Florida is considered to be a higher risk area with theft issues, coastal hurricane exposure, a litigious environment, among other factors.

Within the last few months, a couple of yacht insurance carriers have begun non-renewing policies and have pulled out of the State of Florida entirely, pushing some vessels into the surplus lines market (known as non-admitted carriers). A non-admitted carrier is less regulated by the State insurance department, not financially backed by the Florida Insurance Guarantee Association “FIGA”, and can raise and lower rates and make

policy changes (at renewal---not mid-term of a policy period) more easily as the market dicatates. In general, it is better to obtain insurance with an “Admitted” carrier, but often this is not possible.

Another current trend is for some insurance providers to require vessels not be kept on a lift during a hurricane. It may seem like a lift is a safe place to secure a vessel, BUT loss experience has shown that lifts are not designed to handle the torque and wind load of a powerful storm. Another issue with securing a vessel to a lift is storm surge, where the water raises up and over or into the vessel.

2) Tips on getting the lowest rate:

There are a few things that help boaters obtain the lowest rate possible. Completing a boating

safety course, or obtaining a Captain’s license, are both good ways. On smaller vessels most insurance companies give credit for having prior insurance, having favorable credit, being claim free, owning a home, and having a safe place to moor/store the vessel.

On larger vessels and those over 10 years of age, an in and out of water survey is most often required every three years (some carriers require within the last 18 months). It is important to keep this in mind, next time you have the vessel hauled out for annual maintenance, in case it is time for a new survey.

On high value vessels and most importantly vessels with multiple outboard engines, it is normally required that the vessel have a GPS theft tracking device—and that the device have a current monitoring contract in effect at the time of a loss.

3) Hurricane Preparedness

It is vital to have a hurricane plan in place. Most seasoned boat owners and those who have been through a hurricane are more familiar with the process than newer boaters. Hauling a vessel out of the water and securing it inside a building or next to a house on a trailer is a good idea. If a vessel will remain in the water, remove all loose covers & canvas, lower or remove outriggers, antennas, etc. Some insurance carriers exclude coverage if a vessel is on a lift during a storm (check your policy). Plan in advance and have a backup plan if needed.

4) Things not to claim:

Insurance is meant to provide protection

for catastrophic loss, and is not designed to be a maintenance plan. A small scratch in the gelcoat or a minor dent on a prop should be taken care of out of pocket. It often saves a significant amount of money to carry higher deductibles and self insure for smaller issues.

5) Why it is more expensive to title a vessel in a Corporation or LLC Be aware that some insurance companies charge extra premium if a vessel is not titled in an individual name. A corporation/trust/LLC is a different type of entity, often with other exposures, and although these could be a way to protect assets and limit liability, this is not always the case. In addition to possible added premium, there is also a cost to setup and maintain a corporation, extra tax return, etc.

Keeping Broward County Reefs Healthy

Keeping Broward County Reefs Healthy Just as Broward County’s beaches attract tourists, the ocean environment draws diving and fishing enthusiasts from all over the world and Broward is home to part of the only coral reef in the continental United States. The reefs extend the entire length of the County and are separated into three distinct north-south tracts (inner, middle, and outer). These reef tracts range in depth from 15 feet on the inner reef tract to 90 feet on the outer tract.

Reef Monitoring Program

There are 25 permanent research sites located offshore of Broward’s 23 miles of coastline and these sites have been monitored periodically since the 1980s, and continuously since 1997.At each monitoring site, the numbers and types of corals and sponges are recorded to compare differences in between sites and over time. Numerous one square-meter areas of reef are photographed and studied to monitor changes in the reef environment, and fish counts are carried out to determine the number and types of fishes found at each of the study sites. In addition, sediment collections are sampled at each of the sites to determine the amount and grain size sediments that settle onto the reef. The results of this biological monitoring not only provide a time series record of Broward County’s reef system, but also assist in the identification of factors which may damage organisms or reduce the populations of corals and sponges on the reef.

Artificial Reef Program

Since 1982, the Broward County has created over 112 artificial reefs off our shores. The reefs, which are designed to create a new stable substrate, are made from a variety of materials including ships, barges, oil rigs, limestone rock, concrete culverts, engineered concrete artificial reef modules, and other environmentally suitable artificial reef materials. These materials are placed at various depths where they quickly become habitat for a large number of marine organisms. Through the artificial reef program, we are not only creating additional habitat for various marine organisms and fish, but are also protecting the reefs as boat

anchors and scuba divers can cause physical damage to natural reefs by breaking coral or “uprooting” other attached marine animals. This will benefit both our environment and our economy for years to come. Tax deductible donations of material, services, and transportation costs have been the keys to the success of the Artificial Reef Program and donations are always welcome.

Tire Reef Removal Project

When creating an artificial reef, it is important to understand how the materials will act over time in the ocean. Ships, concrete, and limestone boulders are materials that have been used locally and worldwide and have been very successful in creating reefs while tires are an example of material that may not be suitable for use as an artificial reef. Broward County is working with State and Federal agencies to remove a failed artificial reef constructed wholly from tires.

Diving on an Artificial Reef

Many scuba divers have found artificial reefs to be beautiful and exciting dives. The artificial reefs in Broward County are diverse in type, depth, and level of diving difficulty. You can follow these guidelines to help make your diving on Broward’s artificial reefs a safe and enjoyable experience:

• Never dive alone; always have a dive buddy with you.

• At a minimum, you should be Wreck Diver SCUBACertified. This certification is available through most dive facilities in Broward County.

• Always assess the weather conditions before leaving the dock and again at the wreck site. Once on the site, you and your dive buddy can determine if the wave height, current, and/or visibility will allow for a safe dive.

• When diving on an artificial reef, you should always leave someone on board the boat that can operate the boat in an emergency. This person should maintain a watch for divers surfacing downstream of the artificial reef.

• Be aware of the hazards of fishing line and other debris that may snag a diver while on an artificial reef. Each diver should carry a knife and/or wire cutters to avoid entanglement.

• It is not recommended that you go inside any wreck. The most colorful and beautiful corals, sponges, and fish are on the outside of the wreck.

• Pre-plan your dive and stay with that plan to avoid trouble.

• Finally, only dive within your capability.

Fishing on an Artificial Reef

Many different types of fish can be caught over or near artificial reefs. Reefs deeper than 200 feet are especially productive for large open-water predators. Amberjack, strong fighting fish that can weigh over 100 pounds, are one of the most common reef residents.These fish school over the artificial reefs from January to July, with May being the peak month.

Other species of wreck dwellers are black, gag, warsaw, and snowy groupers. Giant goliath grouper also make many of the wrecks their home. Additionally, many species, including sailfish, kingfish, Spanish mackerel, barracuda, mutton snapper, and cobia appear to use the artificial reefs as feeding areas and can be caught in abundance many hundreds of yards from the artificial reef.

SouthFlorida is one of the most vulnerable areas on the United States coast for a hurricane. In 1992, Hurricane Andrew, the most powerful storm in Miami-Dade County, registering as a Category V, and the third strongest in U.S. history with sustained winds in excess of 155 mph, came ashore and destroyed many marinas in south Miami-Dade County. Hurricanes that exceed 110 mph can be expected to occur in south Florida about once every 10 years. The population of Miami-Dade County continues to increase, bringing many boaters with little hurricane experience.

The wind will be the biggest enemy. There are several things to do to help minimize its overwhelming affects. Knowing how to secure your boat and where to keep your boat are the two primary concerns. The most important thing to remember is DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE! Being prepared in advance by having a plan and prac ticing your plan will help to protect your life and property.
