TRADEWINDS SPLASH ISLAND WATER PARK on St. Pete Beach is that

getaway you’ve wanted to brag about since the neighbor’s pulled out last summer’s photos of their excursion to Costa Rica. Located within the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, visitors can reach the park by swimming out to its destination. If you want a more leisurely trip across the sea, floating tubes are provided, as well. Once you’ve reached Splash Island there’s plenty of slides, climbing walls, ladder logs, loungers and splash zones… so go bananas! If you feel like making this a weekendlong event, a stay at the Island Resort may best fit your plans. Included in your stay, the hotel offers poolside feature films on an inflatable screen.

TENANT’S

COURT BY

JUDGE ERS G STEVEN RO

I

t’s not easy being a landlord. I say that not from any personal experience of actually being a landlord, but rather from hearing landlord-tenant cases. Like many relationships that begin with a promising future, landlord-tenant relationships often have a very abrupt and adversarial ending.

An eviction is a lawsuit to remove a tenant from rental property owned by the landlord. In circumstances where the landowner has allowed a person to stay free of charge for an indefinite period of time, an ejectment action must be filed.

“Eviction” may be a harsh sounding word, but “ejectment” brings to mind cartoon images of someone being flung from the property by a giant catapult.

Both have the same goal of getting an unwanted person (or persons) off the landowner’s property.

The ideal eviction case for a judge to consider is one with a signed rental agreement. This sets the terms of the agreement and lets the parties know what is expected of them. If there is no signed rental agreement, then it is presumed the

One of the most interesting eviction cases I heard concerned a tenant filing a lawsuit against her former landlord.

The tenant sued for an unlawful eviction after the landlord did not comply with the law by giving her a three-day notice and filing an eviction action. Instead, the landlord changed the locks to the apartment and placed the tenant’s personal items and furniture beside the road. Thinking the items were abandoned, someone helped themselves to the tenant’s property.

Other than the fact that the tenant was the plaintiff and the landlord was the defendant, the other thing that made this eviction AN EVICTION IS A LAWSUIT TO REMOVE A case so interesting TENANT FROM RENTAL PROPERTY OWNED was that the plaintiff/ tenant told me she

They were gonna fly us to Los a residential eviction for nonAngeles and put us up in a hotel—for payment of rent is for the tenant free.” Upset that she didn’t get the to submit photos showing the opportunity to appear before the deplorable living conditions television judge, the plaintiff dismissed at the residence.

agreement is for a week-to-week or month-to-month term, depending on how often rent is paid. I usually refer to these as the “Hollywood marriage” agreements—meaning there’s no longterm commitment and they usually don’t last very long.

For a residential eviction, when a tenant fails to comply with the written rental agreement, the landlord is required to serve a three-day notice.

This gives the tenant three days to “fix the problem” and avoid being evicted. If, after giving the statutorily

“We have never regretted

our decision

”

WE MET AL MILTON ABOUT EIGHT YEARS AGO

when we were planning a move from South Florida to Ocala. We interviewed several builders but felt at home with Al. We started with a floor plan we saw in a magazine and ended up with a home that was more than we could imagine. We were so impressed that we recommended him to my mother, who proceeded to sell her home in South Florida and have Al build a home for her in Ocala also. We have never regretted our decision.

We were first impressed by Al’s ethical work practice and honesty. He was always willing to help us make the right decisions and stay within our budget. He was available for questions and patient with the inevitable changes we made throughout the building process. His subcontractors were professional and provided quality work under Al’s supervision.

Al’s patience and kindness were ever present in what could have been a stressful endeavor for all of us. We love our homes, and thanks to Al, our dreams became reality.

Lounging on a beach and catching the evening matinee may be others’ ideal vacations, but maybe you need something to get your heart racing. Stone Mountain is a giant granite formation in North Georgia with a flat top, just begging for you to trek to its summit and eye the scenery. And when you get back to the bottom, there will be plenty more to do.

A haze of ice crystals glistens on the floor. I catch my breath and pull the thick parka tighter around me. A moment later I flip the fleece-lined hood up over my head. It’s minus 20 degrees, and I can feel it to the bone. Oh, yes, and I’m in Florida.

In the summer.

No, I’m not at some new arctic adventure theme park attraction. I’m standing deep within the vast freezer at DeConna Ice Cream surrounded, floor to ceiling, by thousands of gallons of ice cream and novelties.

The outer room is a nippy 45 degrees, but here, inside the 10,000-squarefoot warehouse, it’s minus 15 to 20 and, despite the heavy parka, within 10 minutes, I’m ready to hit the door.

M Y is making new discoveries. In the countless times I’ve driven past the DeConna Ice Cream sign at their 33-acre operation on Highway 318 between Ocala and Gainesville, I had no idea of the history behind this longtime, familyowned business.

When I make an appointment to visit, I’m warmly welcomed by Vince DeConna, the company’s present owner, whose father, Don, started the business 67 years ago. This fits perfectly with the findings of a recent study by the Washington, D.C.-based International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA), which found that the majority of ice cream manufacturers in the United States have been in business for over 50 years and many remain familyowned businesses.

After our quick venture into the depths of the massive freezer, I follow Vince upstairs to his office to learn more about DeConna Ice Cream.

I’m a bit doubtful that Vince, trim and fit as he appears, actually indulges in the products the company sells, but he sets me straight right away.

“Ice cream can be part of a healthy diet. My family has always eaten ice cream, and no one is overweight,” says Vince, passing me the August 2002 issue of Prevention magazine with a cover story promoting, yes, “The Ice Cream Diet.”

“Everybody has the same conception of ice cream, that if you’re watching your weight you can’t eat it, but like anything else, in moderation it’s fine,” he notes. “You can eat a serving and it has a satisfying effect. A lot of people like to eat ice cream in the evening and the calcium can help you sleep.”

(OK, so I’m already feeling vindicated about my own habit of a little ice cream before bed, but I don’t mention this to Vince.)

Turns out Vince’s family grew up eating ice cream, and that’s been his business ever since he started working.

All thanks to a father who decided ice cream made for a happier career option than toiling in the steel mill.

War II, he did what many men in that region did: took employment in a steel mill. In the summer, however, he drove a vending truck around the neighborhood selling ice cream treats.

Dairy products were rationed during the war, but once this ended, the United States celebrated by eating one of their favorite treats, with the average American eating more than 20 quarts of ice cream in 1946. (Maybe it’s a sign of continued patriotism, but today, more ice cream is consumed per person in America than in any other country.)

It didn’t take Don long to realize he’d much rather deal with ice cream than work in the hot, dangerous steel

industry. Figuring that he’d sell more ice cream in a warm climate, he moved to Miami in 1947 and started DeConna Ice Cream.

Initially, the company handled every aspect of the business, from manufacturing the products—many of which Don invented—to marketing and selling. In the 1980s, the actual production was transferred to a dairy manufacturing operation in Nebraska, where the vast majority of DeConna Ice Cream continues to be made to their precise specifications.

Vince, a Florida native, worked with his father and then purchased the business from him in 1995. Don died in 2010, and Vince is proud to carry on the family tradition.

A true Sunshine State creation, DeConna Ice Cream is sold all over Florida and into Georgia as far north as Macon. Actually, most ice cream is marketed regionally. Only 16 percent of manufacturers market nationally, and the international market is just 10 percent.

Today, DeConna Ice Cream sells an amazing 650 different products, including a huge variety of novelties and about three dozen ice cream flavors, covering everything from goodold, plain vanilla to the ever-popular Moose Tracks.

A

Products from the Highway 318 warehouse are delivered all over North Florida. There’s a second warehouse in Tampa that covers Brooksville down to Naples and a third warehouse in Palm Bay from which products are sent out all along the state’s east coast and down to Miami.

DeConna drivers come to the freezer warehouse on a daily basis, load their trucks—it must have been one of their parkas I borrowed—and head out for deliveries. Also loading trucks are some independent mobile street vendors.

You know, the neighborhood ice cream man!

Mobile vendors also make appearances at festivals, ball parks and businesses. DeConna provides signage for the trucks to help promote specific novelties.

Amazingly enough, DeConna’s enormous freezer doesn’t have generator backup.

“If the electricity goes out, the freezer will hold for five days without power if we don’t open the doors,” says Vince.

“This has only happened once since we’ve been here since 1987. That was when the hurricanes went through in 2004. We were out of power for three days, and the freezer never got above zero.”

Whew. I can only imagine how nerve-wracking those three days were to the owner of an ice cream warehouse stacked with 1,000 pallets of frozen treats.

stores, as half-gallons, pints and novelties. The rest is sold in schools, food service and through the vending business. Three-gallon containers are sold to “dipping shops,” where ice cream is sold by the scoop. Novelties make up a huge portion of the hundreds of DeConna products, many of which are sold in chest freezers at gas stations, flea markets, snack bars and schools, in addition to convenience stores.

Despite the great variety of novelties, two perennial best sellers are classics that have been around for decades. The No. 1 best-selling novelty is the six-ounce Mega Ice Cream Sandwich (vanilla ice cream sandwiched between two chocolate wafers) followed closely by the Everyday Sundae Cone (a scoop of vanilla topped with chocolate and chopped peanuts nestled in a sugar cone, the inside of which is coated with chocolate).

“We sell approximately one million ice cream sandwiches a year,” says Vince. “Back in the 1990s, a lot of the schools went to low-fat and no-sugaradded. We still sell that, but our biggest seller is real ice cream.”

He explains that in order to be labeled “ice cream,” it must contain milk

The Ice Cream Diet (No, that’s not a typo!)

Who knew the words ice cream and diet could be used together?

The cover of the August 2002 issue of Prevention magazine features a tantalizing close up of an ice cream cone. Inside, an article based on the book by registered dietician Holly McCord outlines a diet plan that includes eating ice cream every day.

Research shows that food containing calcium like ice cream can facilitate

Celebrating The Scoop!

Have a sundae, make a shake, dip a scoop however you choose to indulge, ice cream reigns as the summer s preferred treat, so help yourself especially in July!

In 1984, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed July as National Ice Cream Month, and Americans have been making the most of that designation ever since. If a month seems excessive, you can at least celebrate National Ice Cream Day, which is the third Sunday of July, making it July 20th this year.

weight loss and also reduce the risk of colon cancer, lower blood pressure and even reduce PMS symptoms.

Yes, you watch calories (no more than 1,500 per day), and yes, you should include exercise, but on this diet, you actually get to eat ice cream every day. Women are allowed one cup per day, while men are allowed 1 1/2 cups. Reduced-fat ice cream that contains 125 calories or less per half-cup serving is recommended.

Of course, portion control is part of the plan. A scoop of ice cream should be about the size of a tennis ball.

Although no one person has been credited with the invention of ice cream, the idea of enjoying a frosty treat goes all the way back to the 2nd century B.C. Alexander the Great ate snow and ice flavored with honey and nectar, while Nero Claudius Caesar was said to have sent runners up into the mountains to bring back snow, which he ate flavored with juice and fruit.

On his journey to the Far East, Marco Polo discovered a recipe that today would be described as sherbet. Residents of England and France indulged in frozen desserts as early as the 1500s. Somewhere around the mid-1600s, ice cream became available at a Paris café, supposedly the first exposure of such a concoction to the general public. By 1664, sweetened milk ices appeared in Naples, Italy. The French are said to have first used egg yolks to make custard-based ice cream around the mid-1700s.

In the United States, ice cream was considered an unusual treat, primarily an indulgence for the elite, until the invention of insulated ice houses around the year 1800. That changed everything, and by the late 1800s, ice cream was widely available.

Both America and England claim the first ice cream machine appeared in 1843. Just like today s old-fashioned, hand-crank models, this early machine consisted of a wooden

and cream and have at least 10 percent butter fat, which is something to remember when you’re shopping. If that’s not the case, according to federal guidelines, the label can’t use the words “ice cream.” Instead, it may say “frozen dairy dessert” or “lite” ice cream.

When ice cream is made, it’s pumped from a large tank into a continuous freezer that holds a minimum of 100 gallons. The whole milk and cream mixture freezes during the process and comes out the other end of the freezer directly into a packaging machine. Flavoring and “inclusions” (think nuts, fudge swirls, chopped candy, etc.) are added during the packaging process.

bucket with a rotating handle. A metal canister rested within the bucket. The ingredients were placed in the metal canister, while ice and salt were poured into the wooden bucket surrounding it. Turning the handle eventually produced what we fondly refer to today as homemade ice cream.

There is some disagreement as to when the ice cream cone came into use. Some say it was an American invention that debuted during the 1904 St. Louis World Fair. The English, however, claim that cones were first intentionally used to serve ice cream in 1888, as noted in Mrs. Marshall s Cookery Book.

For those individually packaged treats known as novelties, the manufacturing and packaging process is specific to each novelty. And no, there isn’t a production line of white-coated workers wearing gloves whipping up each treat by hand. It’s all done in an automated process.

B E C A U S E T H E C O M PA N Y H A S S U C H A L O N G H I S T O R Y , I’m curious how they

develop new flavors and name them. Vince says they often get suggestions from sales people.

“Sometimes we just sit and brainstorm, especially when we name something,” he says.

“Friends and family often get involved in naming a new product.”

The two newest flavors in pints are Micanopy Mud (chocolate ice cream with chocolate-covered almonds and caramel swirls) and Caramel Pecan Delight (vanilla ice cream with candied pecans and caramel swirls). Both hit the market in 2010. The most recent novelty invention is the Typhoon, an Italian ice product featuring blue raspberry and lemonade swirled together in a five-ounce cone cup.

On occasion, an item is discontinued, such as the Triple Fudge Bar, which featured three layers of chocolate and just proved to be too intensely chocolate. (Who knew that was even possible?!)

“Products have to meet certain volumes to justify the packaging and processing, and the numbers are high,” Vince explains. “In order to keep an item, it has to do very good volume.”

Vince doesn’t have one personal favorite.

“I switch around,” he confesses with a smile.

“Vanilla and butter pecan are my two favorite ice cream flavors, and for novelties, I go back and forth between the Everyday Sundae Cone and the Chip Around (vanilla ice cream with chocolate chips sandwiched between two chocolate chip cookies).”

In a world where economic challenges abound, ice cream continues to sell well.

“Ice cream is pretty recession proof; it’s an affordable treat,” says Vince. “Our sales are more sensitive to weather. When it’s cold and rainy, we don’t sell as much. Florida has a high consumption of ice cream, and part of the reason is because Northerners move here and bring their ice cream-eating habits with them.”

The ice cream business is, overall, a happy one, Vince notes. He likes working with customers and wholesale business people, but he also enjoys the product itself.

“I do eat ice cream every day, usually in the afternoon and often again at home in the evening.

There’s always ice cream in our freezer,” he says.

Before I head out, Vince graciously sets me up with a box of frozen goodness: pints of Micanopy Mud and Caramel Pecan Delight and several novelty items, including the ever popular Everyday Sundae Cone. (Hmmm, I wonder if they named it that to subconsciously inspire daily consumption.)

I haven’t made it out the driveway of DeConna Ice Cream before I’ve torn open the wrapper on an Everyday Sundae Cone. I’m taking Vince DeConna’s words to heart. It only makes sense to take the advice of an expert: a serving of ice cream every day can be part of a healthy diet.

That’s the kind of advice I can live with!

ho needs a reason to celebrate in the summer? The days are warm, and the pool is beckoning, so hosting an outdoor swim party just feels natural. Dive into some DIY decorating and you’ll be pool party ready in no time.

Look at a classic beach ball—what do you see? Red, yellow, blue and white, an instant summer color scheme. For the perfect party props, invest in small beach balls and make look-alike garlands by painting

Styrofoam balls. Some large wooden letters and spray painted shower caddies make excellent center pieces.

Beach towel table runners and matching striped napkins seal the deal.

A little creativity with the snack spread will keep you from dropping major bucks on custom foods. Invite all the neighbors for some swim-themed treats, like Twizzlers, which double as pool

noodles. Submarine sandwiches with bendy straw periscopes are the perfect midday entrée. Sealed milk bottles with pretty paper straws look adorable and should prevent any major poolside spills. Scoop some Swedish fish into miniature drawstring bags and load play buckets with Goldfish snacks and more to send home after the party for when those post-pool munchies strike.

o matter what age your kids are, a back to school bash is never a bad idea, and searching for the props will give you an excuse to hit the local flea markets and garage sales. Buy or borrow some old furniture like desks and bookcases to use as tables for snacks, favors and more. An antique typewriter could be a cute addition to all the adorable printouts, like that back to school banner. This party is the perfect opportunity to embrace the chalkboard paint trend. Use chalkboard labels to write names on drinks, label snacks and more.

As for the food, keep it brown bag simple with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, milk, cookies and fruit. You could also take it up a grade level and serve some apple cake pops and little cupcakes topped with edible bookworms.

As for the favors, send every soon-to-be student home with some fun notepads, crayons and other supplies so they can start their year in style. If you have a photographer on hand, set up shots of every kiddo individually to email to Mom and Dad later. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll love that your favor was personal and will make for an excellent keepsake. First-day printouts or customized signs add an extra flair to the photos, too.

ransform your backyard into an old-school cinema with an easy red, black and yellow color scheme and the right snacks. Printouts in fun fonts announce the big feature of the evening, and a concessions banner leads the way to a spread worthy of a silver screen opening (or at least a backyard version).

Roll out the red carpet on your serving table and serve fresh popcorn in vintage-looking containers. Provide small paper cups to mix a variety of candies. Use the boxes as props while displaying the sweets and showcase the popcorn in glass jars. That’s the beauty of a movie party—the concessions can be decorative, too. A simple red and black curtain backdrop can really make it feel like guests are strolling through a theater. Have some hot dogs and toppings

on hand, and of course, send everyone home with leftover popcorn favors.

For the main production, find a simple projector, speakers and screen setup and plug in your laptop. Be sure to pick something age appropriate the kids haven’t seen a thousand times to really hold their interest. Line up lawn chairs, towels and blankets on the grass and have everyone gather, goodies in hand, to take in a family flick on a cool summer evening.

The sun’s rays assist in establishing a sleep-wake cycle for people, and studies show that those who don’t get enough light in the morning under-perform compared to those who do get enough light. You probably didn’t know that spending 20 or 30 minutes in morning light may be enough to positively affect your weight. Studies reveal that depression is also less common for early risers.

LOVELY LOCKS Your tresses can suffer from sun-induced stress in the summer, thanks to ultraviolet rays. Those UV rays actually cook hair shafts, drying them up and leading to fried hair, aka frizz. The latter happens when dried-up hair soaks up any nearby air humidity, causing hair shafts to swell and the hair cuticle to break from the extra weight. Poof! You have frizzy hair!

TRY THIS:

Get regular trims to keep split ends under control.

Use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, an anti-frizz serum or oil and even a deep-moisturizing hair mask.

Reduce use of blow dryers, curling and flat irons.

Wear a wide-brimmed hat when out in the sun for long periods.

Combat Chlorine & Saltwater Chlorine robs hair of its natural protective oils, causing damage.

And the copper in chlorine and other pool chemicals binds to hair shaft proteins, fading your hair color and giving it odd hues, especially if it’s color-treated. In the case of blondes, natural or colorenhanced, hair takes on a greenish cast! If you go swimming in Florida’s Gulf Coast, the saltwater sucks the moisture out of your hair and leaves it dried out. Remember our friend frizz?

TRY THIS: Wet your hair before jumping in the pool or ocean to reduce the amount of chemicals or saltwater it will absorb.

Always rinse your hair after a swim to wash away chemicals and saltwater.

Apply a small amount of a leave-in conditioner before and after a swim.

SOOTHE SUMMER SKIN Banish Breakouts

We’re not talking about wearing less red in summer. No, the sun’s dastardly UV rays can cause sunburn and, when combined with high humidity (Hello, Florida!), face flushing and redness, especially in fair-skinned people.

Summertime’s heat and humidity cause your skin’s oil glands, especially on your face, to be more active and may lead to an increase in acne breakouts. A recent study reported that nearly 60 percent of people with acne said the skin condition was worse in the summer versus about 11 percent who said their acne worsened in the winter.

TRY THIS:

TRY THIS:

Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen!

Apply SPF 15 or above over any exposed skin, and remember to reapply after swimming or a sweat-inducing exercise session.

Use water-based facial cleansers and moisturizers with ingredients like squalane, glycerin and silicones.

Reduce The Redness

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Drink plenty of water to hydrate your body and skin.

Wear a wide-brimmed hat to protect your face when out in the sun.

Hold an iced-water soaked facecloth against your neck to reduce facial flushing.

Look for an all-in-one makeup product that has moisturizer, foundation and sunscreen.

Check out sunscreen products that are titanium-based, have oil-reducing zinc and/or are labeled oil-free or matte finish.

Go for a toner/cleanser with salicylic acid.

Helping hands: Use sunscreen and moisturizer on hands daily to prevent wrinkles and brown spots.

Luscious lips: Keep hydrated with a good, emollient-rich lip balm that includes a sunscreen.

Spa time: Especially in the summer, treat yourself to a monthly spa (or home) facial. Go for deep cleansing and microdermabrasion to clear away dead skin cells and leave your face glowing.

Body TLC: Experts recommend doing a whole-body exfoliating two or three times a week during the summer. Use a gentle scrubbing product with skin-safe bristles.

Glycolic acid, naturally derived from sugar, is a safe scrubbing agent for your whole body.

Use an oil-absorbing clay facial mask once a week.

FOOD INGREDIENTS

E

VERY DAY THE EVIDENCE MOUNTS THAT AVOIDING PROCESSED AND PACKAGED GOODS IS THE HEALTHY ROUTE TO TAKE. ALTHOUGH WE’VE ALL GOTTEN BETTER AT READING FOOD LABELS, THERE IS MORE WE CAN LEARN ABOUT SOME OF THOSE ODD LISTINGS ON THE LABEL. SO HERE’S A LOOK AT SOME OF THOSE MYSTERIOUS AND OFTEN SCARY INGREDIENTS IN THE FOODS YOU MAY BE EATING.

BUTYLATED HYDROXYANISOLE (BHA)/BUTYLATED HYDROXYTOLUENE (BHT) This petroleum-based substance is used as a preservative in butter, meat, chewing gum, cereal, nut mixes, beer, glazed fruits, potato chips, vegetable oils and numerous packaged snack foods. The U.S. National Institute of Health and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services consider BHA to likely be a human carcinogen (cancer-causing agent). The International Agency for Research on Cancer declared BHA and BHT as carcinogens.

AZODICARBONAMIDE

RBGH/RBST

A flour-bleaching agent found in breads, packaged baked goods, frozen dinners and boxed pasta mixers. Oh, it’s also found in foamed plastics like yoga mats and sneaker soles! It has been linked to asthma and other respiratory ills. Recently, Subway announced it had phased out azodicarbonamide from its bread.

These synthetic hormones are found in milk and dairy products. Cows are injected with these genetically engineered growth hormones to increase milk production. Some research has linked them to colon, breast and prostate cancers.

BROMINATED VEGETABLE OIL (BVO)

Its main ingredient is bromine, which is a flame retardant and is considered toxic to humans.

Some research has linked BVO to hypothyroidism, birth defects, hearing loss, memory problems, autoimmune disease and cancer. BVO is used as an emulsifier in sports drinks (Gatorade, Powerade, etc.) and citrus-flavored sodas (Mountain Dew, etc.). After consumer complaints, PepsiCo Inc. removed BVO from Gatorade and Mountain Dew. Following suit, Coca-Cola announced it was removing BVO from all its drinks, including Powerade. BVO is banned in Japan and by the European Union.

POTASSIUM BROMATE/ BROMATED FLOUR This ingredient, which also contains bromine (see above), bulks up dough to reduce baking time. It is found in bagel chips, bread crumbs, rolls and wraps. Research has associated it with nervous system and kidney disorders.

ARSENIC

Person © Shots Studio; Can © landiphoto; Bottle © Mariyana M / Shutterstock.com

EATINGWELL

Poultry are fed arsenic-laced feed, which promotes growth and boosts pigmentation of meat to give it a rosy pink fresh look. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classifies arsenic as a human carcinogen.

ACRYLAMIDE Although not a label ingredient, acrylamide is present in our foods. It is a chemical formed by cooking starchy foods like grains and potatoes at high temps above 250°F; the longer the cooking time, particularly when frying, broiling or roasting, the higher amounts of acrylamide.

It is found in French fries, potato chips, bread and grain products, as well as cigarette smoke. The EPA and the International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies acrylamide as a likely human carcinogen.

PROPYL GALLATE This is a preservative used in mayonnaise, chicken soup base, vegetable oil, meat products and chewing gum and has been linked to health problems for asthmatics and aspirin-sensitive people.

PROMOTIONAL FEATURE

Through a network of highly trained cancer practitioners, opportunities to participate in national clinical trials and more, Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute (FCS) is bringing world-class cancer care to a hometown level.

Drs. Maen Hussein, Vipul M. Patel and Patrick Acevedo are board certified in medical oncology, hematology and internal medicine.

AT THE DAWN OF IT’S 30TH YEAR…

FLORIDA CANCER SPECIALISTS EXPANDS INTO OCALA TO OFFER WORLD-CLASS COMMUNITY ONCOLOGY

M

edical oncologists Patrick Acevedo, M.D., Maen Hussein, M.D., and Vipul M. Patel, M.D., are part of a statewide network of knowledgeable professionals practicing in over 80 Florida locations. They are bringing their experience and expertise to a new, convenient location here in Marion County. So what brings this nationally recognized practice to Ocala?

“When you have cancer, the last thing you need is to drive for hours to get treatment,” says Dr. Hussein. “The heart of our mission at Florida Cancer Specialists is to bring the most advanced and personalized treatments to communities, both large and small, so that our patients can be close to where they live and be surrounded by their families and friends.”

The quality care at Florida Cancer Specialists is the product of many components. For Dr. Acevedo, one of the most important is the physician-patient relationship.

48

JUL’14 ocalastyle.com

“It’s about the individual attention we give to patients,” he says.

“We develop joint decision making between physician and patient for optimal outcomes.”

“I think that’s the most important part of oncology,” adds colleague Dr. Patel. “You see these patients so often, sometimes every week, so you get to know them. It’s important to have a good rapport and have empathy for them. This is traumatizing for a patient when, for no fault of their own, they have cancer. You have to be able to guide them emotionally and medically, more than in any other field I think.”

The experts at FCS believe proximity to quality care is paramount. The Ocala office not only provides a convenient location to patients but also offers multiple services under one roof.

“One of the reasons we made the investment in establishing a local office is that we want to be close to patients’ homes and have an open door, especially when patients aren’t feeling their best,” Dr. Acevedo

explains. “Having quick and easy access to care means they won’t become sicker and wind up with unnecessary hospitalizations. We do all the lab work, all clinical trials, doctor visits and administration (chemotherapy) right here, in one location.”

The physicians of Florida Cancer Specialists are dedicated to providing top-tier medical care for patients. In addition to providing cutting-edge treatments, offering world-class care means making national clinical trials available to patients, an element missing from Ocala until now, as a wide selection of clinical trials are often exclusive to academic medical institutions.

“FCS offers all phases of clinical trials, including phase 1 trials, which are rare and usually exclusive to university medical centers,” Dr. Patel says. “Clinical trial participants receive the standard of care plus a new drug, so you’re getting the best cancer treatment available, with a new drug added on. They’re drugs that

have shown promise in treating cancer and drugs that we believe will improve what we’re already doing, so they do not mean subpar treatment.”

Currently, Florida Cancer Specialists has approximately 70 clinical trials available and is able to enroll patients locally, if they qualify.

“We have trials that are changing the standard of care, and a patient can participate in a clinical trial right here in our local office. That’s the advantage of a community practice; it’s closer to home,” Dr. Hussein adds. “I’ve noticed people are more accepting of clinical trials now, and patients have a choice—they can say no and they can always stop. The patients who go through clinical trials are monitored for safety, which is the number one concern.”

Dr. Hussein acknowledges the collective effort at FCS; he says the physicians, nurses and clinical staff work together to become better and improve management and treatment. He knows clinical trials are not only important for those

The heart of our mission at Florida Cancer Specialists is to bring the most advanced and personalized treatments to communities, both large and small, so that our patients can be close to where they live and be surrounded by their families and friends.

participating but also for every cancer patient who follows.

“Cancer medicine is better now because of the heroes, who are our patients who go through trials,” he says. “Clinical trials are how we improve.

These people don’t only help themselves by getting something that could save their life, but they’re helping us find out what does and doesn’t work.”

Dr. Acevedo seconds this.

“Clinical trials are a huge opportunity,” he says, “not only for future cancer patients but also for those currently on a trial. Of the drugs we’re bringing into the clinic, 50 percent will be approved by the FDA and will be added to the armory for oncologists to fight cancer in the future. We give patients access to those drugs well in advance of the FDA approval, so a patient who is on a clinical trial can benefit immediately, versus having to wait years.”

Two examples of recent breakthroughs are targeted therapy and personalized medicine.

Personalized medicine involves creating DNA-based profiles on each patient’s cancer, so therapies can be tailored to an individual based on

hardship that may be a result of treatment.

Modest, one-time grants are provided for non-medical living expenses such as rent, utilities, or car payments.

This support allows patients to focus —DR. MAEN HUSSEIN on healing.

“Because we are their cancer’s specifications instead part of a large, statewide practice, we of giving everyone an umbrella are able to offer a variety of resources treatment. Targeted therapy also that allow us to help our patients involves genetic research. Dr. Patel even more,” Dr. Hussein says of the explains that currently, most types of foundation. “As a medical oncologist, cancer are treated “broadly.” it is extremely gratifying to know that “We administer agents that cancer patients who are struggling to attack cells dividing rapidly, so make ends meet can find assistance these drugs attack hair cells, nail and support from the Florida Cancer cells, cancer cells and more.

F YOU USUALLY PREPARE YOUR MEALS AT HOME, THEN CONGRATULATIONS— YOU HAVE A LESSER CHANCE OF GETTING FOOD POISONING THAN YOUR COUNTERPARTS WHO PREFER TO EAT AT RESTAURANTS.

In a study from the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), researchers analyzed over 10,000 cases from 2002 through 2011 and an expected 28,000 people became ill due to food served in a restaurant as opposed to 13,000 people who cooked their own meals.

But that’s not the worst part. Much of the time, cases of food poisoning go unreported, with underreporting of outbreaks reaching “epidemic proportions,” according to the CSPI food safety director. If after eating you experience vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps or other symptoms, it may be the result of food poisoning.

In this study, only 3,933 cases were considered to be solved (meaning the food or pathogen that caused the illness was identified) out of a total 98,399 illnesses.

SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE! C

ONE OR CUP YOU ASK YOURSELF AT THE ICE CREAM PARLOR. WHY NOT DEVIATE FROM THE USUAL PICKINGS OF WAFFLE CONE OR ICE CREAM SUNDAE? A SODA FOUNTAIN AND DINER CLASSIC, THE MILKSHAKE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AND NOT OVERLOOKED WHEN IT COMES TO THE DOG DAYS OF SUMMER.

MILKSHAKE MISNOMERS In essence, a milkshake is just ice cream and milk (mix-ins, whipped cream and cherry on top optional); however, there are a few dessert beverage terms that will not only broaden a sugar-lover’s vocabulary but also help her make the preferred choice when it comes to having a summer treat.

Malt: Add in malted milk and the milkshake everyone loves is no longer a milkshake but the beloved malt.

Malted milk is a powder made of evaporated milk, malted barley and wheat flour. It gets trickier when a malt may also be referred to as a “malted milkshake,” “malt shake” or “malted.”

JUL’14 ocalastyle.com

Root beer float: Traditionally, a root beer float is root beer with a few scoops of vanilla ice cream. Other ice cream flavors may also be used as substitutes, and the beverage, like the malt, has used other aliases, such as “black cow” and “brown cow.” Root beer can be replaced with soda (coke float), orange soda (orange float), grape soda (purple cow) or Guinness (beer float or Shakin’ Jesse—we kid you not).

Egg cream: If you’re raising an

Frappe: And now, to top off your

eyebrow after reading about cows and the Shakin’ Jesse, prepare to raise the other eyebrow with this twist: An egg cream contains neither an egg nor cream. The beverage with an identity crisis typically consists of milk, soda water and chocolate syrup.

dessert beverage vocabulary, here’s a case where a milkshake is still a milkshake yet it may also be called a frappe. Everywhere else, a frappé is known as a frozen coffee drink, but a frappe in New England—where it’s pronounced “frap”—may also refer to the ol’ familiar heavenly blend of milk and ice cream.

CAUTIONARY TALE Straw fatigue from slurping a too-thick milkshake is frustrating enough, but when the milkshake is just at the right melted, creamy consistency and you’re in the midst of devouring the dessert in all its sweet glory, another hindrance may ail you: the dreaded brain freeze, aka ice cream headache.

This physical pain isn’t all in your head, figuratively speaking. Brain freeze is recognized in the medical lexicon as sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia. What triggers brain freeze is the interaction of frozen food with the roof of your mouth, which causes the dilation and swelling of blood vessels, resulting in inflammation that sends signals through nerves to your brain.

The best remedy for brain freeze? Slow down!

MILKSHAKE HOTSPOTS A few scoops of ice cream and some milk is all it takes to make a milkshake, but there are other wondrous incarnations of this treat that you can find at restaurants and diners. When the summer heat has you wilting while you’re out, head to one of these milkshake “hotspots” to cool down.

STEAK’N SHAKE 3800 SW College Rd., Ocala, (352) 873-1994 5180 NE 24th St., Ocala, (352) 438-0057 It’s the obvious choice to grab a milkshake—and with good reason. Steak’n Shake has a reputation for making impressive milkshakes. Three menus offer your choice of classics, such as chocolate or vanilla; Side by Side, which combines two flavors in one; and specialty milkshakes. Steak’n Shake’s newest milkshake, Birthday Cake, celebrates 80 years of the restaurant chain being in business.

HUNGRY BEAR 420 SE Osceola Ave., Ocala, (352) 732-3003 Open since the 1970s, this mainstay is known for its burgers, fries and shakes. In other words, Hungry Bear is where it’s at when one is in search of the quintessential summer meal. Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, banana and cherry are listed as flavors (malt optional), but the peanut butter shake is what locals love to slurp when chowing down on their Papa Bear burger and sweet potato fries.

You could shake ingredients to make a milkshake, but the standard approach is pulling out and plugging in the blender, which requires the simple press of a button. It doesn’t get any easier than that.

RED FISH, BLUE FISH,

WILD FISH, FARM FISH

OH MY OMEGAS First of all, fish have a lot going for them in the health department. Two or more servings of fish a week can reduce the risk of heart disease, which is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Fish are a great protein source, are low in saturated fats and high in omega-3 fatty acids.

FARMED FISH may have more OMEGA-3S, and SALMON IS ONE OF THE BEST SOURCES. Omega-3s boost immunity; can reduce the risk of dementia, stroke, and cancer; and are an important nutrient for children and nursing or pregnant women.

JUL’14 ocalastyle.com

DO WE KNOW THAT THEY’RE TOXIC? The health benefits of eating fish outweigh the concerns, but if your diet is heavy on seafood, there are a few things to look out for. Mercury is an old threat, a dull one. Fish with the largest mercury content are tuna, shark and swordfish, all of which are commonly wild caught. Those with very low levels are the most common farm-raised fish: tilapia, catfish and salmon.

U.S. regulations prohibit the use of hormones or antibiotics in farmed fish, but this is not the case in all other countries.

Some farm-raised fish do receive antibiotics, which in large amounts can lead to antibiotic resistance in populations. Other toxins to look out for are pesticides like DDT and PCB, toxic manmade chemicals.

THERE’S ALWAYS A SMALLER FISH THE GREENER THE FISH Which method is the green method? It’s surprisingly balanced, as both have their pros and cons. Wild fish are sometimes harvested using practices that damage ecosystems and other fish and can pollute the water and threaten flora and fauna. In the United States, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration regulates wild-caught fishing and enforces standards to protect fish populations and the environment.

As for U.S. fish farming, it’s strictly regulated.

However, the UNITED STATES GETS MOST OF ITS FISH from the GLOBAL MARKET. Other countries have more lax regulations and cheaper fish.

If you’re worried about toxins, try sampling smaller fish like sardines, mackerel and anchovies.

They live shorter lives and don’t have the same opportunity as larger fish to pick up toxins. They’re lower on the food chain, which also makes them a more sustainable option.

Another recommendation to reduce toxins is to trim the skin and fat or cook by grilling or boiling.

A LITTLE VARIETY NOW The best choice you can make when it comes to fish is variety. Health-wise, you minimize contamination from one group of fish.

Environmentally, it’s never good for an ecosystem to overdraw from one source.

After all, there are many types of fish in the sea.

GOOD 4 YOU offers tasty fare that’s just that—good for you! Located downtown next to Feta on Broadway, owner Liza Ryan opened the eatery in April, which features fresh, homemade sandwiches, salads and paninis. Among their most popular options are the tofu burger, turkey and cranberry panini and the tuna melt. Good 4 You is known for its fabulous smoothies, made only with the freshest of fruits and juices.

I have been a member for 12 consecutive years and I’m grateful that the price has always been affordable and the staff has always been friendly and helpful. The numerous free classes, the heated pool, the equipment, the cost, the four locations and the availability of trainers all add up to the “best value in town”.
