If you had the chance to be revived in the future, would you take it?

WHAT IS CRYONICS? Cryonics is an effort to save lives by using temperatures so cold that a person beyond help by today’s medicine might be preserved for decades or centuries until a future medical technology can restore that person to full health.

Cryonics is a second chance at life. It is the reasoned belief in the advancement of future medicinal technologies being able to cure things we can’t today.

Let’s Celebrate Earth Day

E

very year, on April 22nd, people around the world recognize the importance of preserving and protecting our natural environment. Earth Day, as we call it today, was proposed by Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson and founded in 1970.

Since then, it has evolved from a day for teachers to focus on nature to a global rally day for environmentalists.

Locally, Earth Day is a great day to celebrate the wonders of South Florida. Some of the best beaches in the world are just a few miles away. The Everglades, which is both an exciting natural refuge to visit and a critically important ecosystem, is right in our back yard. Just off shore, there are miles of coral reefs full of fish and wildlife. Preserving the beauty and splendor of our natural environment is critical for the continued enjoyment of this wonderful community.

This year, let’s celebrate Earth Day by taking a step back from our fast-paced digital world and recognizing the splendor of the environment around us. You could visit the Long Key Nature Center in Davie, take an airboat ride through the Everglades, dip your toes in the surf, or simply spend a few hours at one our wonderful local parks. Whatever you do, feel fortunate to live in one of the most beautiful places on earth.

BY BEVERLY PERKINS

T

here were plenty of smooches for all the pooches at the second annual “Be Mine” Dog Show on Valentine’s Day weekend at the Stan Goldman “Hollywoof” Dog Park.

It Takes a Super Hero to Help Those with Paralysis

BY BEVERLY PERKINS

T

he Memorial Foundation received a Quality of Life grant from the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation late last year. The grant will be used to purchase adaptive cycling equipment for the Memorial Rehabilitation Institute. The dollars received will purchase two specially equipped bicycles that will enable those with paralysis to remain active and exercise through an adaptive cycling program which is known to improve the individual’s physical and emotional well-being.

The grant was one of 79 awarded by the Reeve Foundation - totaling nearly $576,000 - to nonprofit organizations nationwide that provide opportunities, access, and daily quality of life for individuals living with paralysis, their families, and caregivers.

Conceived by the late Dana Reeve, the program has awarded more than 2,700 grants Jimmy Crews worth more than $20 million since 1999.

The $7,384 award given to the Memorial Foundation will buy an upright handcycle and a tandem cycle that will be available for use by those living with paralysis. One lucky recipient will be Jimmy Crews. Crews overcame traumatic injuries at the Memorial Rehabilitation Institute and used cycling as a large part of his recovery process.

“This funding will make it possible for more people in our area to exercise and participate in the activities of the Handcycle Club,” said Rayford Shipman, manager of the Adaptive Sports and Recreation program at the Memorial

APRIL 2017 | OUR CITY HOLLYWOOD

Rehabilitation Institute. “We know that being active leads to significant improvement in an individual’s physical and mental state and having these bikes available will enable our participants to enjoy the fresh air and camaraderie of those overcoming similar challenges.”

Awarded twice yearly, grant requests were evaluated and scored based on a rigorous review process to determine funding for organizations that improve daily life for those living with paralysis, as well as their families and caregivers. In this particular grant cycle, the grantee review board awarded a significant number of grants in medically underserved areas for modification projects, animal service programs and veteran programs.

“Accessibility modifications and service animals help create greater independence both in home and public settings, which is key to increase inclusion in the community,” said Donna Valente, director of Quality of Life Grants. “By supporting these types of programs in underserved areas, we are able to remove barriers to independent living for individuals living with disabilities and their families.”

Temple Solel is Always Doing Their Part to Make the World a Better Place

BY BEVERLY PERKINS

T

ikkun Olam is a Jewish concept which defines acts of kindness performed to perfect or repair the world, and to assist those who may be at a disadvantage. Although Temple Solel in Hollywood always has ongoing projects to help others, they declared a specific day eleven years ago to gather congregants of all ages to fulfill the action of mitzvoh (performing good deeds).

Since its inception, “Mitzvah Day” has accomplished numerous charitable efforts at the synagogue, in the community, and around the world. These projects have included landscaping, painting, organizing, and cleaning. They also collected, sorted, and donated clothing and household items to those in need, made bag lunches for the local homeless shelter, as well as shelach manot (gifts of food and drink) baskets for seniors.

Additionally, they have raised awareness and funds for Jewish and secular causes that needed funding such as Neve Michael Children’s Village, a home for abused and neglected children in Israel and Magen David Adom, Israel’s affiliate to the Red Cross. They also contributed to purchasing Lifestraws. These tiny water filter straws purify drinking water in parts of the world where there is no potable water.

At the helm of all the wonderful projects is Stephanie Jofe. She has been organizing “Mitzvah Day” from the very beginning. Six years ago, she knew it was time to take their “show” on the road and help organizations in the community with larger needs than their own. Since Rabbi Emeritus, Robert Frazen, Temple Solel

14

APRIL 2017 | OUR CITY HOLLYWOOD

has had a long-standing relationship with the Liberia community in Hollywood, they decided to begin there.

From refurbished playgrounds and reorganizing food pantries to installing butterfly gardens, and wheelchair friendly gardening beds, there seems to be no task this committee can’t handle. This year in conjunction with Temple Solel’s “Go Green” efforts, “Mitzvah Day” was held at TY Park. Approximately 200 volunteers came out and painted murals, a fence, and a building, assembled picnic tables with benches, landscaped, and planted orchids in trees as part of Fairchild Tropical Garden’s Million Orchid Project. They also filled backpacks with cards, friendship bracelets and donated toiletries for homeless children at the Broward Outreach Center (BOC), and collected and sorted 17 large bags of donated clothing, also for BOC. “Mitzvah Day has really grown over the years from a small effort to help our synagogue to a much larger effort to apply our Jewish values of tzedakah and mitzvot to help our larger community,” says Jofe, Co-Tikkun Olam Committee Chair. “We are currently looking for a project for next year, so community organizations in need of a facelift should contact us for further information.”

FEATURE STORY POINT ROYAL

H

By Beverly Perkins ollywood Beach’s iconic property, The Diplomat Beach Resort, is currently wrapping up its $100 million transformation. The popular high-energy destination property, from coast to Intracoastal, will offer multidimensional entertainment experiences and programming that will pay homage to the hotel’s legendary past, which originated in 1925.

Included in the dramatic metamorphosis is the introduction of the Diplomat Restaurant Group by the Howard Wein Hospitality Group (HWH), The Diplomat Beach Resort and Thayer Lodging Group. The exclusive group is comprised of more than 10 innovative culinary destinations that range from chef-driven restaurants to uniquely branded accessible eateries to a casual grab-and-go market and a family-friendly sweets shop. The bar offerings, also led by HWH, will feature cocktail creations from acclaimed bartender Willy Shine.

“It has been exceptionally difficult to keep this secret under wraps and we are excited to finally unveil our larger plans for the new culinary program at The Diplomat Beach Resort,” says Howard Wein, Founder of Howard Wein Hospitality and The Diplomat Restaurant Group. “We have top chefs from across the country creat-

Celebrity Chef Geoffrey Zakarian Creates Exclusive New Restaurant for the Diplomat Beach Resort ing brand new concepts juxtaposed with completely original restaurants and culinary experiences that can’t be found anywhere else in the country.

The Diplomat is set to become the top culinary destination in South Florida.”

Geoffrey Zakarian, celebrity chef, restaurateur, and television star recently had the grand opening of Point Royal, his exclusive creation for the Diplomat Beach Resort. The Coastal American restaurant and bar is an accessible, modern take on a coastal-influenced brasserie.

When asked why he chose Hollywood Beach, Florida to open a new restaurant, Zakarian responded, “Simply because The Diplomat Beach

APRIL 2017 | OUR CITY HOLLYWOOD

Resort asked me to help them with a cool concept. I’ve always travelled to Hollywood, but this was a tremendous opportunity to do really good food and beverage just outside of Miami.”

The indooroutdoor venue features the property’s only raw bar and a menu featuring the full gamete of Zakarian’s Coastal American cuisine.

“I chose to do Coastal American cuisine because seafood is a large part of Florida life, but not just seafood.

There is an abundance of terrific local vegetables and non-seafood products that I wanted to highlight,” added Zakarian.

Complimented by a center bar focused on fresh juice based cocktails and the largest wine list on property,

“I love the Seafood Tower and our Hamachi Crudo,” says Zakarian.

“It’s perfect for the beach!”

Point Royal delivers a lively bustling environment and is open for breakfast and dinner daily.

Upon entering the casually elegant oceanfront restaurant, guests are greeted by warm and welcoming hostesses into a foodie’s paradise. The interior incorporates plenty of assorted tropical foliage along with ambient light, rustic shiplap, and plantation shutters for a cozy island atmosphere with a modern vibe.

Chef Zakarian’s signature style and sophisticated taste is evident throughout the menu. Starters such as Towering Raw Seafood Platters stacked with oysters, clams, cold poached prawns, and Alaskan king crab legs, Yellowfin tuna tartare, and unique salad creations including Spinach and Wild Arugula drizzled with a carrotcardamom yogurt and topped with grapefruit and pumpkin seed dukkah are just a couple examples of the many options.

Main dinner entrees cover the spectrum from various seafood entrees

Miami Beach, but with a more recent push farther north into places like Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach. With Point Royal, we’re trying to bring a new level of sophistication to Hollywood and Hallandale Beach.”

In addition to the distinctive restaurant, Geoffrey Zakarian created Counter Point to be an extension of Point Royal. Designed for everyday convenience but dedicated to Chef Zakarian’s commitment to quality, Counter Point offers the best coffee and fresh juice in Hollywood. The casual hotspot, with an option for carry-out or dine-in, is the place for specialty espresso drinks, cold brew coffee and a daily selection of house baked breakfast pastries, salads and sandwiches with wine, beer and savory snacks for later in the day and evening.

The Chopped judge and Iron Chef winner plans on elevating the Broward food scene, and invites locals in addition to hotel guests, and convention attendees to come and experience the new oceanfront eatery.

Diplomat Beach Resort will emerge as Hollywood’s newest icon, offering a fresh, new way to vacation. Boasting an oceanfront location, the 998-room resort will feature more ten culinary destinations, reimagined public spaces, a re-energized spa experience and more than 50,000 square feet of meetings and events space.

to Short Ribs, Organic Chicken and a traditional American burger, but all with a twist. The side dish offerings such as Crispy Brussel Sprouts finished with shaved green apple, Roasted Sea Salt and Rosemary Potatoes, and Roasted Japanese Eggplant are just a few of the delicious highlights.

The decadent desserts are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth and are the perfect way to end the meal. Bananas Foster Crème Brulee Tart, Caramel & Coffee Tiramisu, Chocolate Budino, and of course, Key Lime Pie are just a few available. However, the tangy, creamy yellow-filled southern specialty isn’t served in typical form. It is covered in a crispy meringue coating and garnished with graham cracker crumble.

“I love the Seafood Tower and our Hamachi Crudo,” says Zakarian. “It’s perfect for the beach!”

Beyond the food menu is an exclusive list of specialty cocktails created by America’s world-renowned mixologist, Brian Van Flandern. The spirits historian, and award-winning cocktail book author created original recipes exclusively for Point Royal. One of these distinctive libations is “The Very Last Word”, a variation of the 1920s classic “The Last Word”. The hand-crafted cocktail uses fresh squeezed lime juice with a touch of cane sugar syrup and is garnished with brandy-soaked cherries to differentiate from the original version.

The accomplished chef, host and culinary consultant says, “South Florida has earned a reputation over the last few years for its growing food scene. The quality and accessibility is something we’ve really seen take off in places like

The Talented 10th Poetry Open Mic Night Was a Grand Slam COMMUNITY NEWS

BY BEVERLY PERKINS

I

n honor of Black History month, The City of Hollywood African American Advisory Council, in partnership with the Community Development Division, Barry University Center for Community Service Initiatives, Liberia Economic and Social Development, Inc. and AT&T Pioneers invited local high school students to participate in “The Talented 10th Poetry Slam” at the Hollywood City Hall in late February.

The Black History Month Theme for 2017 was “The Crisis in Black Education”.

The two-night spoken word competition gave students the opportunity to recite their original poems with a focus on the topic of “Education” as part of the larger program to celebrate Black History Month.

Students had to write poems on the significant topic and submit for approval prior to the event. They then needed to be prepared to recite their creation during the events. Each presentation could be no longer than 3 minutes, and could consist of 1-4 persons.

The Master of Ceremonies were Donovan Campbell; WSVN Sports and Jason Jackson; Miami Heat Broadcaster & Sideline Reporter. Each evening began with a reception catered by New Jerusalem Baptist Church and Greater Mount Zion AME Church. Attendees were led in “Lift Every Voice and Sing” by City of Hollywood Assistant Planner, Deandrea Moise.

Barry University Center for Community Service Initiatives provided lectures by Dr. Velmarie L. Albertini on “The History of Education in the Black Community” and

by Dr. Phyllis Scott on “Educating for the New Workplace”.

The event brought out the most talented students who did not disappoint with their powerful and well-crafted works of spoken art. The first place winner on the night one was Nicholas Jentcszh of Hollywood Hills High School. He created a piece that adhered to the educational theme with spiritual and emotional overtones. On the second night there was a tie between Erika Demetrius of Hollywood Hills High School and Fenia St. Charles of Miami Lakes Educational Center.

Poems were judged on multiple criteria in areas of the actual poem, the interpretation, and the performance.

The winners received a “Kindle Tablet” courtesy of Liberia Economic and Social Development and AT&T Pioneers.

“Each student mesmerized the attendees with their poetic skills and well thought out pieces,” stated Joann Hussey, City of Hollywood Public Information Manager. “The kids received much more than a device, the slam experience allowed area poets to perform their craft to an audience of the Faith community, Government Sector, Non-Profit Organizations and Private Sector attendees.”

Hollywood Boardwalk Walkathon to Fight Depression Got Many Moving

BY BEVERLY PERKINS

I

t was an early morning on Hollywood Beach a couple of months ago, when Get Moving, Inc. had their very first walkathon.

The morning sun had just come up, and the boardwalk was lively and full of activity as individuals were enjoying the South Florida weather.

Marissa Stiberman, CEO of Get Moving, Inc., organized the event. Stiberman is an immigration attorney, pattern maker for the industry, and a spin instructor.

Marissa Stiberman, Recently, she completed CEO Get Moving, Inc. the curriculum for living in Landmark Education. The forum is designed to bring about positive permanent shifts in the quality of one’s life. As part of her program completion, she had to develop a not-for-profit project to benefit the greater good for the Self Expression and Leadership course.

The idea for her project was a labor of love as she created Get Moving, Inc., a not-for-profit corporation with a mission to create awareness on the positive impact that exercise has on depression. According to the Mayo Clinic, research on anxiety, depression and exercise show that the psychological and physical benefits of exercise can help reduce anxiety and improve mood. Regular exercise releases feel-good brain chemicals

18

APRIL 2017 | OUR CITY HOLLYWOOD

including endorphins, neurotransmitters, and endocannabinoids, which help ease depression.

“Get Moving’s goal is to promote physical activity and its impact on depression, as there is widespread documented scientific evidence proving that regularly engaging in vigorous physical activity releases endorphins, the “feel good” hormones that generate feelings of well-being and elation,” says Stiberman. “Being physically active is not only healthy for the body, but it is also healthy for the mind.”

Stiberman enlisted the help of other individuals in the fitness industry who had a positive response to her venture.

Kaisa Kerwin, owner of The Fit Shop of North Miami and Fort Lauderdale led the walkathon participants in stretching exercises prior to the one hour, 2.4 mile walk, which began at Charnow Park. She also donated raffle prizes worth $260. Other fitness fanatics who showed their support were Pola Mochon, owner of Powerumba Fitness of North Miami and Martin del Villar, Powerumba instructor extraordinaire. In addition to attending the event, they donated $420 worth of raffle prizes. Flywheel Sports also gave a generous donation for spinning classes worth $130.

Marisa Stiberman turned her vision into a reality, and the first Get Moving, Inc. walkathon was a success. She plans to organize others throughout the year. Proceeds will benefit the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA).

Say Cheese! McArthur Students Learn Pizza Making Skills at Local Restaurant SCHOOL NEWS

BY BEVERLY PERKINS

M

cArthur High School Exceptional Student Education (ESE) teacher, Eileen Santiago always likes to provide real-world experiences for her students. Her goal as an educator is to teach math, reading, science, social studies and social skills beyond the classroom. Over the past couple of years she has developed relationships with various businesses in Hollywood. One of these local establishments is Tony the Pizza Chef II in Hollywood.

Pizza Chef II owners, Edlira and Naim Shabani, have always been generous community partners. In the past, they donated all the ingredients for a school ‘Top Chef’ competition, taught students how to make pizza, and recently invited Santiago’s students into

their restaurant where they serve classic New York style pies, salads, hot and cold subs, and Italian pasta dishes.

Santiago’s 9th and 10th grade students were able to open the pizza parlor, and get a behind-the-scenes look at what it is like to operate a restaurant. The morning began with assembling pizza boxes while the ovens warmed up. Shabani then instructed the class on how to make the dough and how to place the toppings. After their creations were ready, they lined up to pay for their orders. The hands-on experience allowed them to practice their social and money skills.

“Working with Tony the Pizza Chef has helped me as a teacher bring real-life experiences into the class-

room,” says Santiago. “My students not only learn, but have fun working on social and daily living skills. These fun activities mean everything to them.”

In addition, to visiting this Italian eatery, students have also taken community based instruction trips to other Hollywood restaurants such as Ends Meat, Que Perros, Froots, and Gino’s Italian Market. As part of their project, they will create a recipe book.

Santiago created “Hollywood’s Top Chef” project at Hollywood Park Elementary a couple of years ago after being awarded a grant from the Broward Education Foundation and the City of Hollywood. The program was such a success that she was able to take on a disseminator role at the Teacher Expo, where she presented her idea to more than 400 teachers. She was given the capability to award more than 15 teachers with a $400 grant allowing them to adapt this project to fit their classroom needs. Fortunately, she was able to have her new students at McArthur High participate in their own “Top Chef” competition just last month.

The recipe for successful learning is simple: Take one top-notch teacher, mix with special boys and girls, add a dash of community help, and a heaping sprinkle of love.

Colbert Museum Magnet School Celebrated Black History Month

BY BEVERLY PERKINS

U

pon return from winter break, the halls have not been quiet at Colbert Museum Magnet School. Teachers, administrators and students began preparation for their big production to honor Black History Month under the direction of their music teacher, Jacques Durand Jr. This year’s program, “They Are the Past, We Are the Future”, was designed to educate students on the many contributions of African American’s in our society, and to inspire students to achieve greatness through knowing the strides African American’s made.

Many were eager to be involved in the showcase. Over 100 students, kindergartners through the fifth grade classes, participated in this year’s show which was hosted by two outstanding fifth grade students. Each grade level had the opportunity to show off their ability and talent in an age appropriate designed number. Performances ranged from song and dance to poetry reading and skits.

Kindergarten students performed an authentic song from Zimbabwe called “Shosholoza”, which means moving forward. First graders sung “This Little Light of Mine”, while the second grade recited information on prominent figures in African American History. In addition to reciting poetry, third grade students sung the Marvin Gaye classic, “What’s Going On?” The fourth grade created a living wax museum on stage by dressing up as

APRIL 2017 | OUR CITY HOLLYWOOD

prominent figures in African American History. The show closed with the fifth graders delivering spine chilling poetry during a protest skit where students dressed the part and even carried signs. This final performance was followed by two students reciting a speech by Michelle and Barrack Obama.

The Colbert Cougars drum line performed an up tempo African drum piece, and the dance team performed choreographed African dance and contemporary dance compositions. Performances weren’t limited to the children as teachers also got involved. Mr. Gilbert, Tech Specialist, performed “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong on the trumpet.

“Overall, this program was a big success,” said Mr. Durand Jr. “The students had a great time performing, parents had a great time packing the school cafeteria in record numbers and cheering for their child.”

“The Black History Program was undoubtedly an opportunity for our stakeholders to enrich their minds with regard to the legacy and prolific history of the African American community,” said Assistant Principal Dorsett McLeod. “The Colbert Family continuously strives to enhance our culture and provide students with opportunities to not only showcase their talents, but enable them to expand their knowledge daily. The show was an unforgettable teaching experience, and I am honored to have a school family that continuously contributes to our school’s vision becoming a reality.”

Q&A: Ready for a run? There’s much to know before you go.

orning sickness. Weight gain. Skin changes.

Pregnancy takes its toll on your body, especially your breasts and abdominal areas.

On average, most women gain 25 to 35 pounds during pregnancy. This weight is stored as fatty tissue in the breasts, abdomen, flanks (love-handles), hips, buttocks and thighs. The growing abdomen may result in a weakening and separation of the abdominal muscles, and stretching of the abdominal skin.

This stretching may cause a breakage of the skin collagen, causing stretch marks.

Most new moms eventually lose the excess weight.

Unfortunately, the weight loss is not proportional to the amount of fatty tissue in a given area. That means more weight may be lost from the breasts or buttocks than the abdomen and waist. The result may be smaller breasts despite fullness of the waist and abdomen.

Once a woman finishes breastfeeding, the breasts can deflate even further and begin to sag. The weak abdominal muscles and the excess abdominal fat appear as fullness and bulging of the belly. Many new moms may still look pregnant even as their child is taking his or her first steps. Once again, a mommy makeover can help.

A mommy makeover is performed using a unique combination of plastic surgery procedures designed to counteract the physical effects of childbearing, and restore and enhance your body. In general, a mommy makeover may include: ▸▸ Breast augmentation

▸▸ Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)

▸▸ Breast lift

▸▸ Butt lift

▸▸ Liposuction For example, some women need breast augmentation to correct severely deflated breasts, while others may need breast implants in combination with a breast lift. In the abdominal area, many women need a full abdominoplasty with tightening of the muscle layer as well as removal of the excess skin and fat. Some women may also benefit from liposuction to sculpt the back, hips and thighs, and smooth out their contours. Finally, an increasing number of women have also been requesting a buttock lift and other buttock-enhancing options such as the Brazilian butt lift as part of their mommy makeover. The length of the surgery varies based on the amount and type of procedures performed. Some surgeons may perform a mommy makeover as two or more separate operations.

It is important to ask yourself certain questions before deciding to have a mommy makeover. ▸▸ Are you done having children? If ▸▸ Are you at a stable weight? Being you plan to have more children, wait. at a stable weight before surgery can The vertical muscles in the abdomen help maximize the results. Lose all (which are tightened during a tummy your baby weight with diet and exertuck) can re-separate. cise before having plastic surgery. ▸▸ Are you finished breastfeeding? You should wait until you are finished breastfeeding before having breast surgery because the enlarged ducts and increased blood vessel activity of the breast during nursing increases bleeding and the risk of infection.

Alleviating Neck Pain

BY FELIX M. RAMIREZ

ASK THE EXPERT

M

any individuals suffer from chronic and acute conditions such as headaches, neck/back pain, fibromyalgia, facial pain, and sciatica to just name a few. Unfortunately, for quite some time there has been a lack of understanding in regards to chronic pain which has led to poor treatments and even worse outcomes.

Neck pain is an extremely common area in which many experience discomfort. There are three general types of neck pain; ▸▸ Acute – Pain which lasts less than 4 weeks. ▸▸ Subacute – Pain which lasts 4-12 weeks. ▸▸ Chronic – Pain which last 3 or more months.

Most who suffer from acute neck pain don’t even know what caused the issue, and oftentimes don’t even seek treatment. However, when the neck pain becomes subacute or chronic, then it’s likely that some form of medical guidance and/or treatment is required. Depending on the cause and conditions, there may be specific ways for effective treatments.

These recommended tips can help prevent neck pain, and may also help alleviate any symptoms occurring:

There’s a More Affordable & Effective Alternative to U.S. Pharmacy High Prices!

Stay Hydrated

The discs between the vertebrae in the cervical spine (neck) are comprised of approximately 80 percent water at birth. However, as one ages the ratio of water decreases, which can cause the discs to lose height, the spine to come out of alignment, and the pressure on the spine to increase. Staying hydrated throughout the day can help prevent further degeneration of the cervical discs, therefore eliminating neck pain. ▸▸ Set a daily water goal. Women typically need 2.2 liters, while men need 3 liters. ▸▸ Keep a reusable water bottle nearby at all times. ▸▸ Create new daily habits such as drinking a full glass of water when waking up each day.

Limit Hand-Held Phone Use

A common habit many don’t even think about, but do all day long is cradle a phone in their neck while talking. This results in extra strain on the cervical spine. Also, many add additional stress on the neck by staring down at their phones for an extended period of time. This habit can, in fact, place up to 60 pounds of pressure on both the neck muscles and ligaments. ▸▸ Use a Bluetooth or hands-free headset. ▸▸ Hold the phone near eye level when texting or reading. ▸▸ Limit phone use when possible.

Apply Heat Therapy

Good old-fashioned advice is to not overlook the benefits of heat therapy.

Applying a heating pad or a hot water bottle for 20 minutes may produce the following benefits: ▸▸ An increase in the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles encourages healing in the neck. ▸▸ The stimulation of sensory receptors in the skin hinder the transmission of pain signals to the brain. ▸▸ The stretching of soft tissues around the spine will decrease stiffness in the neck.

It is suggested to try these tips even with severe neck pain, as they can provide even a little bit of relief from chronic symptoms.

Tips and Skills for Happy, Successful Kids…And Grown-Ups

D

oes this sound familiar? Your child comes home from school and while sitting in the kitchen over a snack, you engage in a wonderful conversation about the school day. When you ask about the day’s homework, chaos erupts!

Your child can’t remember the assignment details. You calmly ask if they were written down in the daily planner and receive the response that the planner has been lost for weeks, but all the information is on a scrap of paper somewhere. Your child is now frantically searching the backpack for that scrap of paper and your floor becomes littered with crumbled papers. You then remember that you can view homework on the school’s website. All will be well! But then no one (including you!) can remember how to log into the website. And this is not the first time.

For many children (and many of us adults), organizational skills and time management pose huge obstacles. In education, we refer to these as executive functioning skills, which is defined as a set of processes that all have to do with managing one’s self and one’s resources in order to achieve a goal.

(Cooper-Kahn and Dietzel) Here are some pointers to help your child develop executive functioning skills to set them up for success. ▸▸ Ask your child’s teacher to provide a pack up checklist for the end of each day, including: ▸▸ Did I write down my assignments? ▸▸ How long should it take to complete each item? ▸▸ ·Do I have the correct materials? ▸▸ child to cross off items as they are completed. ▸▸ Make sure your child knows how to log into the classroom’s web page, which should have a syllabus, homework and test dates. ▸▸ Establish a consistent routine and a neat physical space to complete homework at home. ▸▸ Keep school supplies on hand. ▸▸ Keep a timer available; cellphones have timers! ▸▸ Post a calendar for long-term assignments and create a timeline. ▸▸ Build in breaks: work/break/work/break. ▸▸ If writing is laborious for your child, encourage use of computer. ▸▸ Encourage reviewing and proofreading. ▸▸ Provide written reminders to place completed work into the appropriate folder in the backpack. ▸▸ Reinforce and praise effort. ▸▸ Place completed homework in the backpack, placed by the front door, ready for the morning. If assignments are digital, make sure your child has uploaded them or clicked “submit”. ▸▸ Encourage weekly backpack checks. Eliminate unnecessary items. ▸▸ Be sure not to over-program extracurricular activities. ▸▸ Make sure the whole family eats well and gets enough sleep. ▸▸ Stay calm. Your child follows your lead.

We live in a digital world and, thankfully, many tools exist to help your child and you find success.
