Mold can grow anywhere that moisture exists. Air conditioning ducts are the most common place, but it can also form behind drywall, under carpets, and on furniture and fabrics. And mold may already be growing on

1st Priority From Pge 1A ––––––––––––––––––––– can spread to big damage, it's 1st Priority's job to eliminate it.

The first step in eliminating mold is to do a professional inspection. Just as they do to find water leaks, 1st Priority technicians will use non-invasive thermal imaging to find areas of moisture that are hospitable to spores. To make sure they identify the existence of mold at the earliest stage possible, they will do three types of testing: air quality, wall cavity, and tape samplings. The samples are sent to an outside lab, and results are usually returned within 48 hours.

IT'S BETTER TO HIRE 1ST PRIORITY It doesn’t take much time for a water leak to do extensive damage to your home or business. In fact, it can happen just hours after the leak occurs.

1st Priority a licensed building contractor for mold remediation and mold assessment has 10 years experience in the industry. They can use that experience to find the leak and fix it quickly, using the latest. state-of-the-art technology. Its noninvasive, infrared thermal imaging equipment can detect the precise location of the leak within a wall or up to 12 feet underground, greatly minimizing the area of wall or floor that needs to be removed. When the leak is fixed, technicians will fully restore the area to its original condition using all new materials.

To save the home and business owner time and money, 1st Priority will work directly with your insurance company. Its professional staff will identify and assess both visible and hidden damage, submit all bills, and take care of any negotiations. There is no outof-pocket cost for the home or business owner.

This helps you to avoid headaches now as well as in the future. The insurance company adjuster wants the best outcome for the insurance company, and may not actively seek out unseen damage that is behind walls or under floors. 1st Priority, however, advocates for

the homeowner, and its technicians will use their skills and experience to identify even the hidden damage that may cause problems in the future if it is not fixed.

HOW DO LEAKS HAPPEN? Some leaks happen when water gets in from the outside, such as after a heavy rain or flood. Others can occur within your plumbing system and will unnecessarily increase your water bill.

Determining whether you have this kind of leak is easy. Simply read your water meter just before leaving the house for several hours or going to sleep for the night. When you return, or wake in the morning, read the meter again. If no leak exists, the readings should be about the same. If the second reading is higher, you probably have a leak that is driving up your costs and may be causing unseen damage.

If you suspect you have a leak, don’t wait.

Call 1st Priority Restoration immediately to fix the problem.

IS MOLD MAKING YOUR HOME TOXIC? 1st Priority specializes in ridding your home or business of mold that may be making the air you breathe toxic. When mold exists, it can exacerbate symptoms of asthma and other respiratory ailments, as well as cause coughing, sneezing, and headaches. And some people are highly allergic to it.

WHAT IS MOLD? Mold is a living organism that can grow very rapidly under certain conditions. It reproduces by emitting microscopic spores that float through the air and land on damp surfaces, where they begin to feed on the material on which they are resting.

Thousands of different kinds of molds exist, and some are known allergens. A few produce harmful chemicals called mycotoxins that can seriously affect many parts of the body. But all molds, in the right conditions and in high enough concentrations, can adversely affect human health.

Getting rid of mold is

vital to keeping the environment in your home or business a healthy one.

GOODBYE, MOLD Once technicians determine that mold exists, they remove it completely. It is not enough to kill it, because injurious chemicals and proteins can remain even in dead mold. Permeable material such as drywall must be treated or replaced.

Because spores are released during the removal process, 1st Priority Restoration uses an air scrubber to keep the spores from settling. Then, a special filtering system effectively traps the spores to clean furniture and other surfaces. After the removal is finished, 1st Priority technicians restore the area to its original condition with new materials.

OZONE TREATMENT If your home or business has an unpleasant odor due to smoke damage or biohazards, 1st Priority Restoration can help. Technicians will use a highly effective ozone treatment to eliminate the odor and restore the air quality.

1st PRIORITY RESTORATION: They Will Take care of The Problem From A to Z 1st Priority Restoration does it all. Whatever the source of damage or contamination to your home or business might be, 1st Priority can identify it, repair it, sanitize it and restore the area to its original condition, all while working directly with your insurance company.

The company provides start-to-finish, 24-hour service 365 days a year for repairing water, fire and smoke or wind damage, leak detection and repair, and ozone treatment. Technicians follow through with debris clean-up, manipulation and packing, storage, cleaning and sanitizing, using the latest technology to restore your property and belongings to its pre-loss condition. To save you time, 1st Priority can work directly with your insurance company.

1st Priority Restoration provides the fast action and thorough service that are the most important factors

in reducing or eliminating structural damage. Disaster does not knock at the door—it

occurs unexpectedly.

1st Priority’s goal is to respond quickly and restore your home or

business with the least amount of inconvenience to you.

Great things ahead for Hallandale Beach in 2014!

By Mayor Joy Cooper HALLANDALE BEACH - Happy New Year! May your year be filled with Good Health, Love and Peace. It is always a great time of year to look back and then look forward to all the possibilities. Hallandale Beach is positioned well for the upcoming year. We have many great projects underway to improve our infrastructure and parks.

The major projects; A1A, NE drainage and our capital improvement to address costly I/I; are in place.

We have continue to address Infiltration issues within our system on the main pipes. The next step is to replace lateral pipes. Infiltration means we are paying more money for our sewage treatment. We will be aggressively addressing this issue to reduce costs of over 2 million a year in unnecessary treatment.

A1A will restart in the spring for a total facelift. Drainage in the NE will be completed with a target date of March. This project has been a mess for the residents living with the construction. The silver lining is residents that have been living with flooding will not have to hold their breath every time it rains.

Residents that have to access our east side will also not have to worry about getting home or traversing a flood HBB. Four of our parks are being reconstructed; BF James, Joe Scavo, City South Beach and North Beach. These parks are only the first phase of our Master Parks Plan. Scavo and BF James will be completed this year and the beach facilities will be worked on over the summer with the goal of being completed by season.

Our financial outlook is stable as well. With the recovery moving forward and increased interest in development picking up it is a good sign. We look forward to balanced redevelopment so we can increase our tax

base remaining sensitive to all possible impacts. We have addressed negotiations with all our unions. With a compromise between all parties we have been able to address unfunded labiates by over 2 million plus annually. This was done by still ensuring our employees are compensated fairly and Police and Fire Personnel will still have a Defined Benefit when they retire.

LOOKING FORWARD This coming year we will be embarking three major projects.

The first is the goal of “Complete Streets”.

Our city was built block by block and not master planned.

This adds to the unique diverse character of every neighborhood. The down side is not every neighborhood in our city has the benefit of sidewalks, lighting, sufficient bus stops or bike lanes. The commission has embraced the goal to upgrade very corner of our city.

It will add to the safety and quality of life for our citizens and visitors. It will also add to the desirability to live in our community, in turn increasing values.

The next major goal will be to finalize and put on the ballot a referendum for a bond to finish our Parks Master Plan. In order to complete our park system and make it world class we will be asking our voters to approve borrowing money. The amount of borrowing would be based on the final cost of all our parks.

To date it has been estimated around 4550 million dollars. The debt service would be added to the tax bill.

Current we do not have a debt service.

Many cities and government agencies pay for infrastructure through the method. It is call a GEO Bond.

Our goal will be to have a plan that includes all parks; Golden Isles Park and Tennis Center, Sunrise Park, Bluesten Park/ City Park and Ingalls.

OB Johnson and Chaves Lake Park are also slated to be completed. I had asked

• This coming year, the City will be embracing three major projects, which will set progress in motion that they be included in the CRA improvements in case the GEO bond did not pass. We have asked that the Master Plan projected cost be reevaluated to ensure we are proposing a clear plan that cover all improvements. We are also working with a bond financial consultant to ensure the best deal.

In my opinion this would be a win-win for our city. Our parks are older and have not been upgraded.

Rather than taking years to complete them this comprehensive plan would finish them within 5 years at minimal cost annually to our property owners. Parks definitely add to the quality of life and are proven to increase values. I look at our Parks as a gift to current residents and future generations to come. With current interest rate low it is time to plan for our future.

We have also set in motion to build a brand new main Fire Station. At the writing of this article old city hall will be demolished, cleaned up and graded finally after years of legal battles.

The one change is that we no longer will be building the station there. We have land banked property in the Palms area that is suited and fit the response time modeling for the new station.

These are just a few of the projects that are underway. We are also looking forward to the roll out of our new Computer System this month. It will increase efficiency, accessibility and productivity.

Last but not least we need to continue to focus on the needs of all our residents.

We have a wonderfully diverse population.

We have homes from the multimillion dollar level to rental property starting at 800 per

month. Regretfully 25% of our population makes under the average of 36,000 per year.

Some are living on 15,000 per year. This is equates to a 40 hour work week at minimum wage. We need to make sure we help those that need assistance and a hand up.

We can continue to address these needs thru job creation and affordable housing.

We also need to work with our local schools to ensure all students have a well round quality education and are ready for college or the workforce. I am happy our commission continues to see the long lasting value of supporting the many great nonprofits, education and train institutions in our city.

These investments will continue to make our city strong.

I look forward to a great 2014. We need to continue to work together on the path that we have adopted

through everyone’s input to improve our city. Quite often residents do not know how to get involved. I tell them the best way is to pick up the phone and call. There is not a concern to small, an issues that is not important and an idea that should not be proposed and vetted. Your elected officials including me are here to serve you. It is never too late as we start a new budget cycle. Just remember we are blessed to live in a Democracy so while the outcome may not be what your choice was we do listen.

Wishing you a healthy prosperous New Year!

Destination

Fom Page 1A –––––––––––––––––––––– Hollywood to make this a better place to live and work in,” said longtime resident and business owner Carla Wilson. “I have been here long enough to know what needs to be done to make this a destination city.”

Hollywood’s ability to create that positive future with many projects currently going on is what it’s all about.

More visitors are lured with new businesses that attract to the beach, downtown and soon with a 441 Corridor that has certainly started to make some positive headway.

“With a Walmart store planned for Hollywood Blvd. and 441, things are really starting to look up,” Ricky Castro said. “I have lived here for nine years and haven’t totally been satisfied

with the direction. Too many promises, but now, it’s really going to be a thriving place where people want to come to.”

HALLANDALE BEACH CONTINUES TO GROW As the new year is upon us, the City of Hallandale Beach remains a destination that still has two of the biggest headliners in the region – with Mardi Gras Racing & Gaming as well as Gulfstream Park – which has really elevated the city’s nightlife scene with a number of restaurants and clubs.

In addition to what Hallandale Beach has to offer in the way of entertainment, there is still the promise of quality beach-front living and 1 mile of the best the Atlantic Ocean has to offer.

Motorized Devices Prohibited on Beach Broadwalk HOLLYWOOD - Due to safety concerns and the increasing use of a variety of recreational devices on the popular Hollywood Beach Broadwalk, the City Commission unanimously approved a change in the municipal beach ordinances. After listening to public input and staff recommendations, the Commission approved the change at the December 18, 2013 Regular City Commission Meeting.

To ensure the safety of all visitors to Hollywood Beach, the use of any device which is not operated exclusively by human power on the Broadwalk is now strictly prohibited. The change impacts the use of motorized vehicles, such as motorized Trikkes and motorized bikes, it does not impact the use of motorized wheelchairs or scooters allowed by federal ADA regulations and used by individuals with limited mobility.

New signage will be installed along the Broadwalk and literature will be passed out by park rangers and police officers along the Broadwalk to educate residents and visitors about the change. The City is allowing a short grace period of a few weeks to ensure users of motorized trikkes and bikes are informed of the change. After this period, tickets will begin to be issued to those who violate the ordinance. Violations of Chapter 99 of the City’s Code of Ordinances, can face civil penalties ranging from $50 to $500.

‘MAGICIAN AT THE PIANO’

Born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the twenty five year old Martino has already earned two music degrees from Karlsruhe University in Germany.

Since 2009 Martino is touring with the soloists of the Keyboard Charitable Trust, a European organization that promotes concerts in Europe and North America for especially talented young pianists.

Brazilian Fabio Martino performs at the Aventura Arts and Culture Center, Jan. 12 at 5 p.m.

AVENTURA - “A magician on the piano” exclaimed a German classical music critic.

Accolades are frequent for Fabio Martino, the brilliant young Brazilian piano virtuoso. The Miami International Piano Festival welcomes Martino back on January 12, 5:00 PM at the Aventura Arts and Cultural Center (www.aventuracenter.o rg) for his second South Florida performance. After his May, 2012 concert at The Colony Theater in South Beach, the South Florida Classical Review wrote: “ Martino displays remarkable artistry….every element is in place in Martino’s pianism: technique, awareness of style, dynamic control, shades of pianistic color, and deep formal understanding. More importantly, he uses this considerable arsenal to portray, not just play the music.”

Giselle Brodsky, Artistic Director of the Miami International Piano Festival, described his performance as “spell-binding, dazzling”. After a concert in Munich, Neue Musik Zeitung wrote “After a moment of concentration it was as if Martino had inserted himself into another sphere and entered completely into the piece…”

Born in Sao Paulo,

Martino’s recital is the second of four Classical Sundays at Five at the Aventura venue.

As part of the Aventura Cultural Series, the audience engages in an intimate experience. A convivial reception follows.

Playing in the AuRene Theatre, from

A DOO-WOP EVENING WITH DISTINGUISHED TOP SINGING STARS FEATURING KENNY VANCE, THE MYSTICS & MORE: Sounds of Kenny Vance and the Planotones need no introduction to his expansive musical career as a singer, director, actor and songwriter. Kenny’s credits are too numer-

ous to mention.

Among todays great vocal pop musicians, Kenny Vance and the Planotones do great justice to the oldie but goldie songs of the past and have been an important part of Rock N’ Roll. In 1999, Vance served as musical director for the film,“Looking for An Echo,” which promoted Kenny’s song of the same name.

They were chosen to be the opening act for the Beatles and The Rolling Stones. In 2002, Kenny was inducted into the Vocal Hall of Fame.

Looking back to that glorious era of the 1950's and 1960's when Doo-Wop was all the rage and it is still as popular today, George Galfo and his uncle Phil Cracolici, original members of

The Mystics, along with Joe Neary, Rocky Marsicano and Ralph Roberts were singing all of their wonderful renditions including their number one top of the chart hits, “Hushabye” and “Don’t Take the Stars,” in addition to many more of their numerous fan's favorites, who just can’t get enough of their beautiful harmonies and always draw a large crowd.

On January 11, 2014, at 7 p.m. the

Parker Playhouse they will be Rockin’ and Rollin’ all night long.

The show will also include: Terry Johnson’s Flamingos and Jimmy Clanton. Tickets are $37.50 to $61.50 at the box office Tuesday Through Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. located at 707 Northeast 8th Street, Fort Lauderdale. For other information call 954462-0222.

Sue Ward Homes continues to stand above the competition

• To remain competitive and continue to attract clients, being up front, honest and reliable are easily the best rules to follow It is certainly no huge secret that the real estate market has been through some tough times over the past five years.

To be successful in the competitive world of property buying, renting and selling in this economy, there are many things to follow, and that is why Sue Ward Homes has stood above the competition.

South Florida real estate has always been a roller coaster ride unlike anywhere in the country.

“We have been in the business of aiding clients through the ups and downs for more than two decades and have many lifelong clients as a result," said Broker Sue Ward of Sue Ward Homes. "Staying on top of the latest market trends enables us to advise our clients when it is the right time to buy, sell or hold onto a property."

To remain competitive and continue to attract clients, being up front, honest and reliable are easily the best rules to follow.

Also, when it comes to running a successful business – of any kind - an organization is nothing but the sum total of its parts, and Sue Ward homes provides the most knowledgeable parts around.

“As the broker I am blessed with having an unbeatable group of very talented, dedicated and diverse realtors working under my license,” said Ward. “Collectively, we are pleased to say that we provide unsurpassed customer service to our clients – whether it be the buyer, seller, renter or landlord.”

Ward’s experience in real estate – especially in south Florida – comes from being a resident for nearly 50 years. Having lived in North Miami Beach when her family moved from the cold north in 1962, she was on the ground floor in a real estate market that went through

Sue Ward

many changes.

Not only were affordable single family homes a popular choice back in the late 60s and 70s, but condos and rentals became fashionable as well.

Experienced in dealing with short sales, foreclosure and rental properties - and the myriad of paperwork those entail - has been instrumental in successful transactions.

"This past year has seen an upswing on sales and in many cases a shortage of available properties," Ward explained.

"Knowing how to price a property properly for sale is critical when trying to sell. If you are thinking of putting a property on the market allow us to prepare a true evaluation and marketing strategy for you. There is no charge to you for this service and we all know that knowledge is power."

The market is still healing from the bubble days and while we still have a way to go it is certain that the future is bright.

"There are good investment properties out there and opportunities for buyers - be they first time buyers, downsizing, relocating from out of the area or looking for a vacation home." Ward explains.

"We hope that you will trust one of our seasoned agents to help

you find the perfect property for you. Our promise to all is a great experience from start to finish."

Until moving to South Carolina five years ago, Ward lived in Hallandale Beach and set the table for a business and reputation that is unmatched in this industry. She learned by being totally up front and honest, which is rare in this business.

Because of family circumstances, Ward, her husband and African Grey, Bogy, moved to Myrtle Beach - where she continued making dreams come true for buyers, renters and sellers.

While her name had become one that everyone knew about and counted on through the decades, the decision to not only start her new South Carolina office, but maintain that heavily-rooted reputation in south Florida turned out to be an easy decision.

“My wonderful agents in Hallandale Beach and Hollywood asked that we keep the company alive, and so today we have our office here in South Florida,” Ward recalled. “That gave us a presence in South Carolina, south Florida and England, thanks to my Florida office manager Norman Raven who also handles recruiting, training and support for agents as need be.”

While change is also positive, and nobody can ever predict what will happen in the future, the contacts made through the years gives Sue Ward Homes an opportunity to reach out to former agents who have relo-

Gail Schneider cated across the country. That is a huge plus in a company that offers a diverse group who can help clients who are relocating from the area as well as into this region of the country. Change brings knowledge and greater ability to help their customers and long term clients.

In Raven’s case, you have someone who has been in the business for over 40 years – and has built up contacts around the world. That is the kind of reputation and service that this company has earned.

“We have the opportunity, through the many clients we have served through the years, to help people all over the world,” said Raven. “Being honest and up front has given us repeat business and customers who can rely on this company to come up with the best deals.”

While the economy eases, and making that purchase of a lifetime has become more of a reality, it’s always reassuring to know that whatever your needs may be, Sue Ward Homes has the agents under the company’s umbrella who can fulfill those needs for you.

“We have such an outstanding legion of agents who can help you with this most important purchase,” Ward explains. “It’s a group that we are very proud to have on board with us.”

Dear Nurse: Thanks for Listening!

(BPT) - Nurses wear many hats when it comes to talking to patients – providing education, advice and emotional support about even the most personal issues. For the 400,000 people in the U.S. who are living with multiple sclerosis (MS), that kind of personal attention can make all the difference.

Diane Terry-Strelow has been a nurse for more than 30 years and says that all questions, big or small, are important to address when it comes to helping support those living with MS. “MS is experienced differently by each and every patient I speak to,” says Terry-Strelow, a nurse with Genzyme’s MS One to OneTM program, which provides personalized support to program members living with MS, as well as their care partners. MS One to OneTM connects each member

with his/her own nurse who has significant MS knowledge and is available by phone or online 24/7. “Patients enter the conversation at various points in their disease progression and with varying levels of knowledge about MS. For some, it is not easy to talk with friends and family about the disease. So it’s important that through MS One to OneTM, we provide support and encouragement to help them feel comfortable asking questions.”

MS is a progressive, chronic disease that impacts a person’s central nervous system, which is made up of the brain, spinal cord and the optic nerves. MS prevents the nerves from transmitting messages between the brain and other parts of the body. This results in different and unpredictable physical and cognitive problems that can be mild, such

as numbness in the limbs, or more severe, such as loss of vision or diminished mobility of the arms and legs.

Some patients with MS experience attacks or flare-ups followed by remissions, while others experience a gradual worsening of symptoms.

This unpredictability can be one of the most frustrating and stressful characteristics of the disease, says Terry-Strelow. This is why it is important that MS patients have a strong support network to help them reduce some of the physical and emotional burdens that they experience. Patients need to make the most of what they can control.

“We can provide suggestions to help patients and their care partners overcome daily challenges of living with MS,” says Terry-Strelow. “For us nurses on call, there is no question too

Accomplish your weight management goals this year (BPT) - The new year gives everyone the perfect opportunity to start fresh. For some, it may be a time to explore a new hobby or take on a new professional challenge. For others, starting fresh means moving into a new home or a new city.

And the new year for many people is a time to begin managing their weight.

Finding success in weight management does not mean giving up your favorite dishes and going hungry all the time. Instead, consider eating the foods you love in moderation to help keep you moving toward your goal, while also enjoying everything else happening in the new year.

Try these tips to help you achieve your weight management goals, and feel good about yourself while doing so: * Keep track of your portions - Paying attention to the portions recommended for different foods will help you moderate how much you eat. To stay on track during chilly months, Weight Watchers(R) Smart Ones(R) offers new portion-controlled soups that provide 3-8 grams of fiber in each serving and will warm you up. These soups come in four flavors - Spicy Black Bean, Loaded Potato, Fire Roasted Vegetable and Southwest Style Vegetable - and are perfect for taking to work or heating up at home. * Get moving - For some, "working out" has some negative connotations. But there are ways to get your body moving while having fun and multitasking. Dancing, cleaning the house, shoveling the driveway, or even playing video games while standing up are all good ways to get moving more often. And if you're already moving, consider adding new physical activities like yoga, taking a daily walk or trying a new class at the gym - anything to increase your heart rate and the movement of blood through your body. * Check the labels - Look for options that contain a good or excellent source of protein to carry you through your afternoon or evening. New Weight Watchers Smart Ones Chicken Strips and Fries have 14 grams of protein and only 310 calories, satisfying your craving for this favorite without the guilt. And this year, Weight Watchers Smart Ones is also updating its packaging with new, easy-to-read labels to help you adhere to various dietary preferences, like gluten-free or vegetarian. * Set the foundation - Achieving goals of any kind is easier to accomplish if you're healthy and well rested. In addition to eating better-foryou food and moving regularly, you should also be sure to get 7-9 hours of sleep every night and to protect yourself from germs by frequently washing your hands with soap. These practices will give you a strong, healthy foundation as you manage your weight.

If you've put weight management on your list of resolutions for the new year, these tips can help you achieve your goals, leaving you ready to tackle a new challenge in your life.

To learn more about MS One to OneTM, visit www.MSOnetoOne.com, or call 1-855-MSOne2One (1855-676-6326). The program is available online and through telephone support, and provides participants with information about MS as a disease, treatment and access to other helpful online and local resources.

‘unique’ or too ‘tough.’

From questions about learning how to be an engaged parent while battling fatigue, to managing personal hygiene issues, we have worked with patients to address all kinds of concerns.” TerryStrelow also notes “We are not a replacement for important conversations that patients should have with their health care provider.

We direct patients to talk with their health care provider regarding condition and treatment choices.”

Aside from inquiries about treatment, one of the most common questions MS One to OneTM Nurses are asked is how those with MS can better manage feelings of exhaustion that are a common symptom of MS. “Often I find that patients have a hard time not only physically dealing with the fatigue, but in learning to explain this ‘invisible’ ailment to loved ones. How do you tell a friend, family member or coworker that simply standing for a few minutes or running a quick errand can cause you to need to rest?” explains Terry-

Strelow. She says patients with these types of questions often request a direct call from an MS One to OneTM Nurse to their loved ones to explain the issue at hand and describe MS in terms that those who are not living with the disease can better understand.

“The job of an MS One to OneTM Nurse is to provide support to those enrolled in the program,” says TerryStrelow. “Don’t hold back with your questions – we’re just a phone call away. We are here to listen to all

Lighting up Hallandale Beach for the holidays

City passes savings on to water customers

The 2013 City of Hallandale Beach Holiday Lights winners will be announced at the City Commission meeting, Wednesday, Jan. 8, at 6 p.m., in the City Commission Chambers in City Hall. Members of the City’s Beautification Advisory Board toured the City the week of December 16, to select the top holiday light displays on single-family, multi-family and commercial properties. Last year’s Northeast Quadrant winner, 1107 NE 5th St., is shown in the photo. Did your property make the cut? Single-family home winners are selected in each quadrant; multi-family and commercial properties are judged Citywide. Join the City Commission and Beautification Advisory Board to see which properties were most pleasing to the eye and help promote the beauty within the City.

When the City of Hallandale Beach toppled the water tower at Peter Bluesten Park on December 12, 2013, it marked the latest step in the efficient management of the City’s water utilities service. The demolition of the tower was a visible symbol of the efficient growth of the water distribution network.

With this increased capacity and efficiency in the operations of the Hallandale Beach water utilities, the City reduced base water rates on October 1, 2013.

“We passed the savings on to the users,” said City Manager Renee Miller. “We improved our infrastructure, improved the distribution network and increased efficiency.”

The City reduced the base rate for water $24 per year, or two dollars per month. The monthly rate decreased from $21 to $19, before taxes. The savings is the same to residential users and large buildings, such as

The building will be located adjacent to the parking lot to adhere to new beachfront setback regulations.

South Beach City Park will be the fourth redesigned City park in the Citywide Parks Master Plan to begin reconstruction. B. F. James Park, Joseph Scavo Park and North Beach Park are all under construction. Joseph Scavo Park is scheduled to open in the second quarter of 2014; B.F. James in the third quarter of 2014; and North Beach City Park in late 2014.

South Beach City Park is expected to be rededicated in the fourth quarter of 2014. North City Beach Park and South Beach City Park remain open to residents and visitors during construction. Other parks in the Citywide Parks Master Plan will be rebuilt as funds become available.

All the parks are being built utilizing the City’s Community Benefit Plan.

The Community Benefit Plan requires the use of City labor and subcontractors in municipal projects costing more than $1 million. If qualified workers and subcontractors are not available, the general contractor may hire non-city residents and businesses for the project.

Bermello Ajamil & Partners designed the parks. Burkhardt Construction, Inc. is the general contractor.

FALLING RATES – Hallandale Beach reduced water rates this year after improvements to the utility distribution network eliminated the need for older resources such as the water tower at Peter Bluesten Park. The water tower was demolished on Dec. 12, after being retired. When built in 1951, the water tower was to supply water and water pressure for developments east of the FEC Railway lines. New, high-capacity lines were placed underneath the railroad tracks and replace the need for the water tower. Improvements were the catalyst for the City reducing water rates two dollars per month, or $24 per year for residential users, including single-family homes and large residential buildings.

condominiums and apartment complexes.

The dedication to a safe, efficient water supply helped the City maintain an unblemished water record for more than eight years; daily water samples exceeded

industry-safe standards.

Hallandale Beach continues to be at the pinnacle of water operations in South Florida; a standard for water quality, taste and efficient utilities management throughout the region.

After popping the popcorn and adding

your favorite season–––––––––––––––––––––– SNACK, Page 3D

Shake up snack time with a pop of flavor inspiration (BPT) - Popcorn is one of the oldest snacks known to mankind. The fluffy kernels were a favorite pastime long before the first motion picture.

In fact, it is believed the oldest ear of popping corn was over 5,000 years old. Now that's staying power.

Today, Americans eat around 16 billion quarts of popcorn every year making it the nation's favorite snack food by volume. Naturally rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, low calorie airpopped popcorn has more iron than eggs and more fiber than traditional salty snacks. In addition to being healthy, it's wallet-friendly. For about 25 cents, you can pop enough kernels to satisfy a family of four. If that's not enough to whet your appetite, what makes popcorn the greatest snack is its ability to adapt to consumers' everchanging palates.

While kernel purists may stick to the simple pleasures of natural popcorn, many opt for the quintessential comfort of butter and salt.

However, the more adventurous taste buds

Brothers Farmers Market: The best source of organic fruits and vegetables seek a bit more excitement and flavor from their popcorn. Popping outside the box, fans across the country are shaking up their popcorn with the sweet, spicy and bold flavors of all natural seasoning blends and alternative ingredients. Often available at movie theaters, popcorn seasonings such as Kernel Season's are becoming more and more popular and have made their way to household pantries. Makes sense, considering 70 percent of popcorn consumption takes place at home. Now, the entire family can customize their popcorn at home long before the trailers end with just a few simple shakes of seasoning.

Jasmin Fine, food and lifestyle blogger at 1 Fine Cookie, knows

there is more than one way to eat popcorn. A long-time pop-aholic, she has been reinventing traditional popcorn and sharing her unique recipes with others.

Her secret, Fine always starts off with freshly air-popped popcorn and keeps plenty of Kernel Season's jars on hand for that extra kick of guilt-free flavor.

A recipe for every season, Fine's popcorn creations are sure to convert even the most traditionalists of popcorn eaters.

Ring in the new year with Fine's silver and gold glitter popcorn.

The perfect touch of sparkle and shine for your party.

Simpler cooking, bolder flavors with cooking wine (BPT) - Using cooking wine in recipes is a simple way to enhance the flavor of any dish. Found on grocery store shelves, cooking wine is just that - wine made for cooking.

Use it like you would a seasoning in recipes where you want to add more flavor."Many people don't re-

• Using cooking wine in recipes is a simple way to enhance the flavor of any dish alize how easy it is to use cooking wine," says Rita Held, culinary professional. "Whether I'm making a sauce, marinade or saute, cooking wine is my go-to ingredient for creating more ro-

bust flavor."

Everyone can add more flavor to a variety of dishes this season with these simple tips from Held. * Instead of sauteing vegetables, fish, shrimp,

scallops or chicken in heaps of butter or oil, saute them in a smaller amount of oil plus cooking wine for added flavor and moisture with half the calories. * Don't have the time to make a pasta sauce from scratch? Instead of adding garlic or salt, add a splash of cooking wine to jarred sauce for a bolder flavor.* Cooking wine gives seafood simple, delicious flavor. Marinate shrimp and scallops in white with lemon cooking wine for simple yet savory flavor. Marinate fish fillets in sake cooking wine for 10 to 15 minutes to reduce the fishiness flavor. * Marinate cheaper, lesstender cuts of beef in red cooking wine for 24 hours to boost flavor and tenderize. Drain and then cook as desired. Flank steak is delicious when marinated overnight in a mixture of red cooking wine, soy sauce and minced garlic. * Swirl sherry or Marsala cooking wine into creamy soups to add a delicious nutty flavor.

Since cooking wine contains one teaspoon of salt per cup, add it anywhere you need more flavor and reduce the amount of salt.

New to using cooking wine? Try this delicious recipe for Creamy Marsala Spaghetti Sauce for a unique twist on traditional Bolognaise.

Spray with butter spritzer and carefully sprinkle with edible glitter. Shake baking sheet side to side to coat all sides of popcorn. Spray again and sprinkle with more edible glitter if needed. Mix popcorn with festive candy or any delicious add-in of your choice and package in a gift box.

This zesty blend of fresh ingredients and spicy jalapeno will keep your taste buds warm throughout the winter months.

JALAPENO POPPED CORN Freshly popped popcorn Cheesy Jalapeno-popcorn seasoning (a little goes a long way) Dried chipotle Fresh cilantroFresh lime zest Place freshly popped popcorn in a bowl and add a few shakes of Cheesy Jalapeno popcorn seasoning. Remember, when using all natural blends, a little seasoning can go a long way so start small and add slowly to increase the spice level. After seasoning the popcorn, toss in chopped dried chipotles, fresh cilantro and fresh lime zest. Mix together and enjoy.

What could be better than popcorn? Popcorn and cookies. Get the best of both worlds and mix all your favorite desserts into this one decadent snack.

BLACK AND WHITE COOKIE POPCORN Freshly popped popcorn Caramel or Milk Chocolate Caramel popcorn seasoning Chocolate brownie pieces White chocolate for melting Flavor fresh popcorn with caramel or milk chocolate caramel popcorn seasoning. Using left over brownies (either homemade or store bought), break the brownie into small pieces and add to the popcorn. Top it off with drizzled white chocolate melted in the microwave or a double boiler.

Enjoy with friends and family or store in an air tight container and hide for late night snacking.
