May is ALS Awareness Month

Feldman & Feldman counsellors at law, p.a.

elder law • special needs law estate planning & administration

I

n May 2011, a father of three was playing basketball with his 14-year-old son. Each time he shot, the ball uncharacteristically fell short of the basket. After just a brief time on the court, the man was much more tired than normal. The following morning he noticed he had trouble buttoning his shirt before work. Over the next month, the father of three saw other strange symptoms; he was much more tired than usual, his joints were sore, and his hand-eye coordination was progressively getting worse.

Two months after that father-son basketball game, Michael Jaillet was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease.

He progressively lost control of his muscular system until passing away on December 14, 2014. He was 45 years old.

May is ALS-Awareness month. Each year 5,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with the disease. The horror of slowly losing control of your body as your mind stays sharp is something no one should endure. There is still no cure and few treatments.

Many of us remember the Ice Bucket Challenge in 2014.

The viral campaign raised millions of dollars to support the victims of ALS and to fund research. Unfortunately, the need for funding continues today. If you have the means, please support ALS research by donating to the ALS Foundation at ALS.org. With your help, in the future children won’t have to watch their dad fade away.

In memory of my brother, Michael.

Honored as “Staff of Character”

oral Springs Charter School (CSCS) teacher Oscar Toro has a lot more going on than planning classes and grading tests. In fact, the high school teacher is the staff sponsor for two of the most active student organizations at the school: The High School Debate Team and the Environmental Awareness Club.

He was chosen as CSCS’s nomination for Broward County’s annual “Staff of Character” Award.

According to students on a Facebook post, Mr. Toro “teaches the ‘bigger picture’ and that the things we do daily will, in fact, impact

us in life.” His influence extends beyond the classroom and clubs.

One project, in particular, has taught his students the impact that each and every one of us can have on our community. The Environmental Awareness Club, led by Mr. Toro, partnered with the City of Coral Springs to implement a new recycling program at the school. The program is already removing a substantial amount of recyclable materials from our landfills.

Mr. Toro will be moving on to the final round, which will be announced on May 18.

Regardless of the outcome of the competition, Coral Springs is lucky to have this exceptional teacher inspiring kids.

Sponsored by the Sun-Sentinel and Publix, the Students and Staff of Character awards honor students and staff who were nominated by their schools for demonstrating outstanding character throughout the year which includes cooperation, responsibility, citizenship, kindness, respect, honesty, self-control, and tolerance.

Stoneman Douglas Baseball Tops in the Nation

By Marshall Jaillet

T

he Marjory Stoneman Douglas Baseball team made its case for being the best baseball team in the country at the National High School Invitational (NHSI) in Cary, North Carolina last month. The Eagles dominated the tournament en route to the championship, outsourcing opponents 43-4.

The team was led by tournament MVP Chris Arroyo who threw five scoreless innings in addition to anchoring the offense. Arroyo, a future University of Florida Gator, came in to protect a two-run lead during the sixth inning of the championship game, throwing an inning and one-third of scoreless ball.

Other All-Tournament standouts included leadoff hitter and center fielder Roman Anthony and First Baseman Christian Rodriguez. Anthony plans on playing ball at Ole Miss next year while Rodriguez plans to attend the University of Florida after his senior year next year.

The Eagles batted .500 in the tournament and had an earned run average (ERA) below 1.

Douglas defeated St. John Country Day School

from Orange Park in the championship game.

Prior to the championship, the team defeated defending champion D.H. Conley High School from Greenville, North Carolina, Yucaipa High School from Ycaipa California, and, Orange Lutheran High School from Orange California.

High School Voter Drive

B

By Zach McDaniels

roward County Supervisor of Elections, Joe Scott, led a month-long voter registration drive at county high schools during April.

Representatives from the Supervisor of Elections Office visited every high school in the county and met with students in their classrooms, encouraging them to register.

Students were given paperwork and guidance on how to properly fill it out during history, government and civics classes. Many of the students were already registered via the state of Florida’s driver’s license voter registration program. However, others took advantage of the opportunity to participate in future elections.

“No part of my job is more rewarding than helping young citizens vote for the first time,” said Scott in a video released on the Browardvotes.com, “Here in the state of Florida your sixteenth birthday is an

important milestone. I am not saying that because you can get your drivers’ license, I am saying that because you can register to vote.”

Students who registered will not be able to vote till they reach 18 years old, but will automatically be added to the voter register if they participated in the drive. Many of the students received a keepsake water bottle emblazoned with the @browardvotes logo.

“I was really excited. I can’t wait till I turn 18 to vote in my first election.

Hashtag adulting!” said Stoneman Douglas junior Jo. “When you become an active voter, you will have an impact on who our government leaders are at every level, including city, county, state, and national governments,” commented Scott, “I’ll see you at the polls.”

country to compete against each other in what has become the premier event on the high school baseball calendar. As no event currently brings in a level of talent from top to bottom that the NHSI promises, the eventual tournament champion will kick off their respective season with recognition as the top high school baseball team in the country. The NHSI is a 16-team, single-elimination championship tournament held at the USA Baseball National Training Complex in Cary, North Carolina.

“ABOVE NORMAL” SEASON FOR 2022

T

he 2022 Atlantic basin hurricane season is predicted to be above normal according to researchers at Colorado State University’s Department of Atmospheric Science. The initial release of the annual forecast was produced by Professor Michael M. Bell and Research Scientist Philip J. Klotzbach on April 7, 2022, and will be updated several times in the coming months.

The pair issued a statement that read, in part, “Sea surface temperatures across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic are currently near average, while the Caribbean and subtropical Atlantic sea surface temperatures are warmer than normal. We anticipate an above-average probability for major hurricanes making landfall along the continental United States coastline and in the Caribbean.”

urricane Season starts next month.

This year’s season is expected to be “above average.”, Most South Floridians have experienced the rush to “get things done” when a major storm is on the way. There are a few things, however, that homeowners can do ahead of time to make that storm watch period a little bit less stressful.

1. Prune trees and clear yard debris

Hurricane-force winds can convert almost anything into a missile, capable of inflicting damage to homes, cars, and people. High winds can pick things like coconuts or dead branches and launch them at windows or people. It is a good idea to prune back dead branches and tree limbs that overhang homes. Dead and diseased plants should also be removed.

n May we celebrate Mother’s Day and all the wonderful mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, and mother figures who have made a difference in our lives.

They are the ones who we go to for support, help, advice, and consoling. Our world is a better place thanks to the love, care and support our mothers give. Unfortunately, Mother’s Day can also be a difficult day and a sad reminder for those who have lost their mothers or for mothers who have lost children.

So, while you celebrate this day, please keep those who may be having a difficult time on Mother’s Day in your thoughts.

The 2022 Legislative Session is over, as is the special session convened by the Governor.

While we completed policy work in Tallahassee, the budget and legislation that passed can still be vetoed by the Governor. Although there were several controversial issues, bills addressing homeowner’s insurance and affordable housing never got across the finish line. Five bills that I sponsored/prime-cosponsored did pass.

CORAL SPRINGS COMMISSION MAY MESSAGE

J

ust like the South Florida Sun, May is already heating up with special events and community happenings as we gear up for summer.

We have truly enjoyed coming together once again for in-person events and community gatherings this spring. Interacting with residents is not something that we take for granted, especially after the challenges of the past two years. We look forward to welcoming our community for more in-person events in the months to come.

This month, the Coral Springs Multi-Cultural Committee will host a National Day of Prayer on Thursday, May 5th. Participants of all faiths are invited to join this candlelight ceremony.

Many of our young residents have been sharpening their chess skills to take part in the Mayor’s Chess Challenge on Saturday, May 7th. This free event is open to all ages and skill levels. Additionally, the King of Chess Tournament will take place on Saturday, May 21st. Participants must register in advance. Visit CoralSprings.org/ events for more details.

In partnership with the Veterans Coalition of Coral Springs, the city will host a Memorial Day Ceremony on May 30th to honor the brave men and women of our military who have given their lives in service to our nation. The event will take place at Veterans Park (8601 Royal Palm Boulevard) at 9 a.m.

Kamp Kool kicks off on Monday, June 13th for kids entering grades 1st through 8th. The camp includes fun and engaging activities such as science experiments, arts and crafts, swimming, field trips, and a popular team competition known as “Color Wars.”

Visit coralsprings.org/camps for more information.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. As we enter the spring and summer months, we remind our community that mental health resources exist to help tackle whatever challenges life may bring.

Dial 2-1-1 Broward or text 898211 to be connected with help. We will be sharing how we prioritize our mental health throughout the month of May through social media.

Stay tuned; we will announce the winners of our Business Excellence Awards just ahead of Economic Development Week, which takes place from May 9th-13th. Visit CoralSprings.org/bea to view the full list of winners.

The next Commission meetings will take place on Wednesday, May 4th and Wednesday, May 18th at 6:30 p.m. Meetings are aired on CityTV, Blue Stream Channels 25, 25.7, 725 and on AT&T U-Verse channel 99.
