D

espite the soaring temperatures and almost daily deluge of rain, summer is one of the best times to be in South Florida. The snowbirds have all flown home and now those of us who live here can enjoy endless miles of beautiful beaches, easy access to the region’s outstanding restaurants, and a chance to experience all the attractions our community has to offer. After all, there is a reason approximately 30 million tourists visit the tri-county area each year.

Get in touch with nature with an airboat ride through the Everglades or charter a boat and go deep sea fishing. Take your taste buds on a journey every Monday night at the Food Trucks at Arts Park in Hollywood or sip and savor a cocktail while watching the sunset at one of the many beachfront bistros.

Speaking of the beach, that’s a great place to beat the heat. Pack up the cooler with icy cold drinks and enjoy a day of sand and surf, just don’t forget the sunscreen. Water parks and indoor activity centers are another option for wholesome family fun.

Whatever you choose to do this summer, enjoy yourself and stay safe.

Remember it is hurricane season. Make sure you have your emergency supplies ready, with at least a three-day supply of food and water for each member of your household.

Sincerely,

Terry and Christy Jaillet Co-Publishers

“Get Slim, Skip the Gym” is the tagline of the Slender Fit U® program. The program specifically targets “locked in” fat, the stored fat that many people cannot shed regardless of how much time they spend at the gym. Slender Fit U® targets this excess stored fat by turning your body into a fat burning machine.

The program uses a prescription dosage of an injectable or oral form of hCG and a B12 supplement to maintain energy and proper metabolism. While light exercise is OK, if you just follow the very specific low calorie diet you will burn off your excess stored fat.

Medical supervision including a physical with a Slender Fit U® doctor, and personal guidance and support is provided. You can expect to lose an average of ½ pound to 2 pounds of fat a day on this program without feeling hungry or being irritable! Our readers have shed hundreds of pounds of excess fat over the years and love this program. For a new and improved you, check out Slender Fit U® and their before and after photos on the website.

La Bamba Mexican & Spanish Restaurants tell the story of the American Dream. In the early 1980s, the Molina Family humbly came from El Salvador to the United States with the dream of making a future for the family. In 1988 the hard work, diligence and dedication paid off as the first restaurant opened in Inverrary, Lauderhill, employing most of the 12 brothers and sisters of the Molina Family. The family grew even stronger as the siblings began to work together at this first location.

It has been the desire of the Molina Family to honor God through these Restaurants as they recognize His hand in making La Bamba Mexican & Spanish Restaurants what it is today.

Together with passionate dedication from the Family, a fantastic hard working staff as well as loyal, supportive guests, La Bamba Mexican & Spanish Restaurants are a thriving entity providing great food in a fun family atmosphere to the citizens of South Florida.

Best New Restaurant Little Havana Bar & Grill 6240 Coral Ridge Dr #100, Coral Springs 954-510-1099 LittleHavanaRestaurant.com

Little Havana has taken its proven recipes from North Miami and brought them to Coral Springs.

“It’s a family business, started in North Miami by my father, Jorge Sr.,” said Jorge Alvarez Jr., who manages the one of their restaurants. “This is the food we grew up with, that our parents and grandparents brought from Cuba. However, we’ve found that most of our business is from other cultural groups. Once they try our cuisine, they’re hooked.” The prices are just as good as the meals. For lunch, you can choose from nine offerings, including shredded beef, roast pork, ground beef and their famous lamb shank.

For dinner, diners could choose a pork fillet simmering in a tangy tamarindo sauce or breaded

fish that’s broiled with a cilantro sauce or Little Havana skirt steak, prepared in a light parsley oil sauce. With each dinner, priced between $7.99 and $15.49, guests get an individual loaf of home made, crusty Cuban bread. “ A lot of people come here with the misconception that Cuban food is similar to Mexican food,” Alvarez said. “Actually, there’s very little in common. Mexico has a lot of regional dishes and some of them can be quite spicy. Cuban cooking doesn’t blast your taste buds. The flavor comes from marinating and the combination of foods and spices.” Little Havana has a full bar and a great Spanish sangria. Their wines come from Spain, Argentina and Chile, as well as the United States.

“Broward Health Saved My Life.”

- Buthler Julien, stroke survivor

Buthler Julien was getting a drink of water when he felt a sharp pain in his head and a tingling sensation down his right side. His fiancée, a nurse, recognized that he may be having a stroke and dialed 9-1-1.

After tests at Broward Health North revealed a blood clot, Buthler underwent a thrombectomy.

The procedure was successful and he began extensive inpatient rehabilitation. Through perseverance and a positive attitude, Buthler can now walk unassisted and is enjoying life.

Know the signs of stroke and always dial 9-1-1.

Coral Springs Update SKIP CAMPBELL, MAYOR am proud to announce that two years after we first broke ground on the new Municipal Complex, the City of Coral Springs celebrated the official ribbon cutting on May 24, 2018. It was a well-attended and symbolic event that marks a new chapter for our thriving cCity.

Already we have experienced major, positive growth with the sale of the Financial Plaza to a private developer, who plans to build a hotel, restaurants and retail shops.

Our new Municipal Complex will also serve as the backdrop to exciting City events like Artoberfest, Downtown in December, Unplugged and Savor the Notes. These events are meant to attract more businesses to the downtown area and provide residents with a place to enjoy memorable moments.

My fellow elected officials and cCity staff pride ourselves on running a cost-effective, well-run government that is connected to our residents. The new Municipal Complex allows us to continue to do an even better job of providing that level of service.

With the Chamber of Commerce, local elected officials and City services under one roof, we are now a “One Stop Shop,”, and open for business.

July 10, 2018 will mark our City’s 55th Anniversary. What started off as acres of bean fields, turned into a master planned community attracting more than 125,000 residents, who proudly call Coral Springs home. With so much development and business growth taking place, we will always remember what is most important – where our City began and where it is headed in the future – ensuring it always remains a great place to live, work and raise a family.

I remind residents, we are in still in the midst of South Florida’s rainy season.

Throughout the month of May we were hit with heavy rains – resulting in localized flooding. Our team of dedicated Public Works professionals consistently ensures storm drains are clear of waste and debris. Regardless of their efforts, heavy downpours can burden any drainage system. Those storms proved flooding can occur anywhere, even if the National Flood Insurance Program does not designate your property as being in a flood zone. As we continue through the rainy and Hhurricane Sseasons, residents are urged to review insurance coverage to decide the best options to mitigate any type of severe weather. Our City staff were well-prepared for Hurricane Irma last year and are even better prepared this year – we encourage you to do the same. Review your storm plans and make sure to stock up on necessary emergency supplies.

If you would like to meet with me to discuss City issues, feel free to visit during my office hours. I hold office hours the second Tuesday of every month from 4 to 6 p.m. at City Hall in the City Commission Office.

To make an appointment, please call 954-344-5911. I encourage you to follow the City of Coral Springs official Facebook and Twitter pages to remain up-to-date about events, City projects and emergencies.

CORAL SPRINGS POLICE CHIEF CLYDE PARRY t’s summertime again and that means drowning prevention, hurricane preparedness and home security are all important and timely topics.

There is no doubt the safety of children remains our number one concern. Sadly, the number one cause of accidental death for children under the age of five in South Florida is drowning. For every child who dies as a result of drowning - there are four more who survived – often with life altering injuries. Unlike so many tragedies we deal with in the law enforcement profession, drowning is entirely preventable. Whether you are a parent, grandparent or caregiver, I encourage you to: ▸▸ Learn CPR ▸▸ Never leave children unsupervised near any body of water – not even for a moment ▸▸ Sign your children up for swimming lessons ▸▸ Never rely on flotation devices to protect your child in any body of water ▸▸ Install a pool fence and alarms on every door that leads to water

Are you prepared for Hurricane Season?

Experience has taught us that the best thing to do before a hurricane is prepare! While we did not have a direct hit from Hurricane Irma last year, we certainly felt its affects for a long-time after – from lost power, to downed trees and expensive repairs. Our department works closely with state and federal partners to improve our response. Last year we utilized social media and live streams from our Emergency Operations Center to ensure residents were well-informed about power outages, curfews and traffic concerns. I encourage you to follow us on Facebook and Twitter @CoralSpringsPolice. Just as we at the Coral Springs Police Department plan for unexpected weather emergencies you and your family should do the same. Do not wait for a storm to threaten, have your supplies and plans in place now.

Free Home Security Programs If you plan on traveling this summer, be sure to sign up for our FREE Vacation Watch program. If you are away from home for five days or more (and less than 30 days), an officer will check your home regularly. When the officer visits your home each day, they will conduct an exterior check of your residence to make sure there has not been an unlawful entry and that all doors and windows are secure.

To sign up for this program, call (954) 344-1800 within 48 hours of your departure. Knowing that your home is protected, will put your mind at ease during your vacation, but it is still important to make sure the home appears occupied.

Remember to have your mail and newspaper held or picked up by a trusted neighbor. If possible, leave a car parked outside of the garage and put interior lights on timers. Another way to ensure your home is safe year-round is to sign up for our FREE residential security survey. A trained officer will visit your home to provide you with an overview of your home’s security and provide information on the best ways to protect yourself and property. To sign up, visit www.coralsprings.org/rss.

As always, if you see something suspicious such as unfamiliar cars or people in your community, I ask that you call our non-emergency number (954) 344-1800.

As part of our Make a Call, Make a Difference program, we remind residents that you are not a bother – if it is suspicious to you, then we need to come check it out.

I am truly proud to serve as the Chief of Police for the City of Coral Springs. I look forward to hearing from residents and business owners. You can stay connected with me on Facebook @ChiefParry.

Have a safe and enjoyable summer!
