Mardi Gras Casino greyhound racing attracting new fans
Larry Blustein
As thousands come and go daily from Mardi Gras Casino in Hallandale Beach, very few know anything about greyhound racing. In fact, hardly anyone who comes and pulls some slots, plays a few hands of poker or eats in any of the quality restaurants, realizes that without greyhound racing, none of the tremendous events and amenities that Mardi Gras Casino houses, would be possible without it. If I can take you back a few years to that important vote that would allow slots and limited –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– BLUSTEIN, Page 6A

BETH DAVID MEMORIAL GARDENS & LEVITT-WEINSTEIN MEMORIAL CHAPELS & CEMETERIES
Levitt-Weinstein Memorial Chapels & Cemeteries along with Blasberg Rubin-Zilbert have been involved in the South Florida community for over half a century. What distinguishes Levitt-Weinstein & Blasberg Rubin-Zilbert is that these South Florida institutions are still operated by the third generation of the original founding families.
“Our goal at Beth David is to grow and expand to meet the needs of the community and families that we serve. As long as the needs of our families continue, we will keep growing and developing.” Says Marc Rubin, Area Sales Director.

Along with all this growth, Beth David has also begun construction on a new mausoleum building. “Our goal at Beth David is to grow and expand to meet the needs of the community and families that we serve. As long as the needs of our families continue, we will keep growing and developing.” Says Marc Rubin, Area Sales Director. Levitt-Weinstein Memorial Chapels & Cemeteries along with Blasberg Rubin-Zilbert have been involved in the South Florida community for over half a century. What distinguishes LevittWeinstein & Blasberg Rubin-Zilbert is that these South Florida institutions are still operated by the third generation of the original founding families. Life is uncertain, and it's important that the final resting place of a loved one be agreed upon. Our fullservice funeral homes and cemetery are
proud to be independently owned and locally operated. We are not a public company traded on the stock market. Michael Blasberg, General Manager, said, "We have directors with over 100 years of combined arranging experience and are sensitive to the needs of families. We strive to build on our long-term relationships and create new ones that will stand the test of time." The services provided by Levitt-Weinstein Memorial Chapels & Cemetery along with Blasberg Rubin-Zilbert, though, dedicated to the Jewish community, are available to people from all walks of life. Although our cemetaries are strictly for Jewish burials, our funeral homes are available to service all faiths. Marc Rubin, Area Sales Director, said, "Whether your loved one is staying locally or transferring out of state, the funeral home is here for the needs of all people that we serve. The advantage of being privately owned and
managed is that decisions can be made quickly." "People make choices in life and plan ahead for many things," Rubin says. "When a death occurs, why place the burden on your family to make those eternal decisions for you? What if unforeseen situations arise, wouldn't you feel better knowing you made your plans beforehand?" Shari Bradley, Marketing Director, said, "One of the benefits of dealing with us NOW is that you're planning in advance, saving money and relieving your family of stress by having to make the last minute decisions when youʼre not necessarily thinking rationally." "Approximately 90% of the families we service have been pre-arranged," Rubin said. When you think about it logically, it makes sense because it is just another part of Estate Planning, like your Will; and you can handle your funeral and cemetery wishes at the same time with us." Rubin goes on to say,"What are you
going to do when a death occurs? It's important that each person has a pre-arranged plan. A person can set up a financial plan paid out over a period of time with no interest charges. One day you will need it, so why wait for that day to suddenly come? Long-term planning locks in at today's price and protects against inflation." Blasberg states, "There are no two fu-
neral plans the same. Increasingly, the Chapel handles special requests such as "Personalized Funerals" that celebrate the life of the person. In a matter of speaking, death is a fact of life and in those challenging moments you want a family there to
comfort you, to love, grieve, and remember your spirit. "LET OUR FAMILY TREAT YOUR FAMILY LIKE OUR OWN." Levitt Weinstein, Blasberg Rubin-Zilbert Funeral Homes and Beth David Memorial Gardens and Chapels.

‘AROUND THE CITY OF CHOICE’
Taking a look at the Charter Review Committee final report recommendations HALLANDALE BEACH - This week's article is a continuation of the Charter Review Committee final report recommendations. If you have not had an opportunity to read last weekʼs article, you can visit the Sun Times webpage at www.southfloridasuntimes.net. The CRC made a presentation that was not completed during the last meeting. Some of their recommendations were approved for further consideration by the City Commission. The items that passed by majority vote will now be researched and brought forward with proper ballot language and a formal ordinance for adoption at a public hearing by the City Commission. The next section of recommendations involved city officers that include the City Manager, City Attorney and City Clerk. The first recommendation was to require that any future City Manager be required to live in the city. Years ago this was a requirement in the city charter. Through charter amendments the requirement was removed. The CRC recommended that within 90 days after the appointment of the City Manager, he or she will be required to maintain their primary residence within our city limits. This was also recommended by the former CRC. The City Commission discussed the merits of the proposal, but concluded through consensus that the requirement may impact the future pool of applicants and would be best to draft during the hiring process, depending on the current residency of the future City Manager. The next officer ad-
Program extended for Pit Bulls FORT LAUDERDALE - In June of 2011 the Humane Society of Broward County offered FREE spaying or neutering for pit bulls ages 8 weeks to 6 months. The program initially was supposed to last only a month and was then extended through December of 2011. As a result, 113 pit bulls were sterilized at the Humane Society of Broward County. Because of the programʼs success, and donations from the community that helped cover the costs associated with this, the shelter is going to continue the program through 2012. The goal for the year is to sterilize another 225 pit bulls. So, if you know someone that has a pit bull that meets the requirements, please have them contact the shelter at 954-4637729 or spayneuter@hsbroward.com to take
advantage of the program.

dressed was the City Attorney. In addition to some language clarification, the CRC recommended that the City Attorney's budget be directly submitted to the City Commission. Currently the City Attorney is the other officer directly hired by the City Commission. Through the budget process City Attorney submits the departmentʼs requests through the City Manager. The City Manager then evaluates the budget and is able to make changes which are then submitted to the City Commission. This current system has worked to date since the City Commission has the final say in what is ultimately adopted as the annual budget. With that said, the CRC recommended changes were adopted by the commission. This change would reaffirm the true separation between legislative, legal and administrative functions of our governance. The next officer is the City Clerk. Currently our City Clerk is appointed by the City Manager. The CRC brought forward the recommendation that the City Clerk be directly hired by the City Commission and have an independent budget from the city. The main purpose of their proposal was that the City Clerk, as the custodian of records, has certain obligations under statutory require-
ments and can be held legally responsible for breach of any these requirements. Having the commission hire the City Clerk would provide for separation between the City Manager's office duties. Over the course of the past four years there have been challenges brought forth with regard to our handling of public records requests; one by a resident and others by a Commissioner. During the same four years there were administrative changes and turnover in the City Clerk's office. These changes prompted the question of whether or not there were sufficient resources being expended to expedite public record requests. The City Commission then discussed some historical facts related to the clerkʼs office that lead to the importance of some recommended changes to our internal processes. We discussed that one of the public records challenges was defeated in court, that although the City Manager hires Staff and recommends budget, this does not prevent the City Commissionʼs ability to vote for budgetary changes annually to add more resources and that the State Attorney investigations did not yield criminal findings. Commissioner Alex Lewy made a motion to adopt the CRC recommendations and that was seconded for discussion. After the debate, the motion failed on a four: one vote. Based on the fact that changes have been made and the City Clerk's office has been fully staffed with a Deputy Clerk, the system is being reevaluated to see where certain public records
can be expedited. During the course of the CRC, City Commissioners were able to make presentations. We'll certainly have our own opinions and feel strongly about certain issues. Commissioners spoke about the issues; for example, the one above that was suggested by Commissioner Lewy. One suggestion that I made during my presentation was discussed by the CRC. This was a recommendation to create an Internal Auditor position that would be directly hired by the City Commission. The CRC was concerned about creating a permanent position that would wind up being able to maintain the true independence and objectivity necessary. During the commission meeting I clarified that my concern was giving the City Commission sole authority to hire an Internal Auditor for specific duties decided by the City Commission on an as needed basis. This would not require a permanent position and would provide for the ability of the commission to keep the process solely independent of the City Manager's office. The City Commission agreed with amending the charter to provide the creation of an Internal Auditor. It should be noted that this auditor is
separate from the requirement of the annual overall budget audit and CAFR requirements. The CRC also discussed some miscellaneous items that include language changes, clarifications to some items and a requirement that the establishment of CRC becomes required every eight years rather than a majority vote of the commission. The City Commission was slated to conclude discussions of the CRC recommendations this past Wednesday, February 1. As I mentioned earlier, the recommendations that have been moved forward by the majority vote of the commission will be brought forward in the form of an ordinance. Ordinances are re-
quired to be adopted through the public hearing process. I encourage all residents to visit the city website at www.COHB.org and sign up for formal notifications of all our City Commission meetings. By signing up, you will receive email notice and a direct link to the agenda items. This article is simply a snap shot of their work. I encourage all readers to visit the city web site for the full report and minority report. Please feel free to contact me at anytime with your questions and concerns.

SPOTLIGHT ON HOLLYWOOD
LIFEPAKs for City of Hollywood Firefighters
By Jaime Hernandez, Office of Public Affairs HOLLYWOOD - The City of Hollywood Fire Rescue and Beach Safety Department has received a $270,000 grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that will allow the City to provide its firefighters with LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillators. LIFEPAK 15s continuously monitor carbon monoxide and methemoglobin levels in firefighters and patients. The devices have a cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) metronome that helps to improve the effec-
tiveness of chest compressions. It also improves patient diagnostics through a feature that alerts users to changes in a patientʼs status. LIFEPAK 15s also provide an enhanced display of diagnostic information in high sun areas, as well as better durability, water resistance and a processing speed to expedite diagnostics. “The LIFEPAK15s will be an invaluable tool for City firefighter/paramedics,” said Hollywood Fire Rescue and Beach Safety Chief Virgil Fernandez. “The safety of our emergency personnel and patients is our primary objective, and these devices will help
us do our job even better. We are grateful to FEMA and DHS for providing the City with the resources that made this possible.” The grant will cover 80 percent of the cost of nine next generation LIFEPAK 15s devices for Hollywood Fire Rescue and Beach Safety units and a three-year extended service warranty for the devices. All Hollywood Fire Rescue paramedics have been trained to use LIFEPAK 15s. Fore more information on LIFEPAK15s, please contact the City of Hollywood Fire Administration at 954.967.4248.

BROWARD DENTAL IMPLANTS & COSMETIC CENTER
How we perceive our smile and appearance affects our self-esteem, our moods and how we function in social and business relationships such as: • Discoloration in teeth. • Spaces Between teeth. • Missing Tooth.
DISCOLORATION IN TEETH There is no reason today anyone has to walk around with discolored teeth. Whatever your problem is our team at Broward Dental has a solution to give you a whiter and brighter smile, so you can be proudly without the embarrassment of dark or stained looking teeth. When patients desire more improvement that cannot be archived by the teeth whitening alone, a number of other solutions such as bonding, veneers and crowns can give you the desire results. Each patient and each specific circumstance must be evaluated on these own merits. Factor such as occlusion bite, oral habits, available space, health of the gum tissue, severity problem and patients expectation must be taken into consideration while planning your cosmetic makeover. At Broward Dental Implants we offer two choices to correct discolored fillings Replacing a toothcolored resin filling with new composite restorations. However, they may pick up stains along the restoration tooth interface and eventually they too will begin to discolor or breakdown. Dr Bobadilla says, “ Although using composite filling may keep expenses down now, it may cost more over the long run and may still not satisfy with the

teeth have a very wide range of remedies from which to choose. The most obvious as well as the least desirable, is to wear braces. Braces are a fine option for people with truly crooked teeth, but are unnecessary for mere gaps. People can correct their gaps in just a few visits to the dentist if they choose to have their teeth bonded
cosmetic needs.” Now: Replacing the tooth –colored resin fillings with cosmetic porcelain veneers. Porcelain will not discolor or fade. Porcelain veneers give uniform and spectacular look for teeth.
They are several causes of tooth discoloration, Including: • Food & Drinks (coffee, tea, wines etc.) • Tobacco use. • Poor Dental Hygiene • Advancing age (at your age the level of enamel gets worn away revealing the natural yellow color) • Genetics (Some people have naturally brighter or thicker enamel than others) • Trauma (For example, damage from a fall can disturb enamel formation.) SPACES BETWEEN TEETH Gap Between teeth: As we age and our teeth shift a gap between the teeth may suddenly appear. If you have a tooth extracted, which is not immediately replaced with an implant or bridge, your entire bite may shift dramatically.
When it comes to showing off that tremendous smile, Dr. Patricia Bobadilla, left, can make it happen!
The teeth surrounding this missing tooth may shift toward each other creating a gap between teeth. Itʼs not at all unusual for a person who had a terrific smile their entire life to suddenly notice they have now gapped teeth. For some a very small gap between the front teeth can be charming, even attractive. Anything larger than the faintest of gaps however is usu-
ally regarded as unsightly if course, gaps that occur between teeth other than the two front teeth are completely undesirable. For instance a gap between an incisor and a canine is quite noticeable and very clumsy looking. CORRECTING A GAP BETWEEN TEETH Fortunately, people who want to fix the gaps between their

MISSING TOOTH Improve self-confidence with Dental Implants Teeth loss in not only embarrassing, its uncomfortable and it affects day to day activities that people take for granted such as, smiling, eating and chewing. Dr Patricia Bobadilla understands the emotional trauma teeth loss can bring on its victims and she offers many solutions to alleviate the stress, restore your smile and give you your-self confidence again. There are many situations that may require a dental implant. Over time, teeth may fall out due to accidents, tooth decay or old age. Your tooth may have to be extracted if it becomes too damaged or infected to repair. Regardless of what your situation may be you do not have to live with your gapped smile. Dr. Patricia Bobadilla will discuss the option of dental implants with you to give you a beautiful smile and restore your ability to chew. Implant patients are of all ages and implants may be the right choice for anyone missing one or more teeth due to injury, disease or decay. They are especially practical for patients who can no longer wear removable dentures. Your dental implant can be shaped, sized
and colored to fit the look and feel the same as your existing teeth, resulting in beautiful and natural looking smile. Our dental implants are made of titanium and fuse naturally to the Jawbone through Osseo-integration, making them just like a natural, solid part of the mouth. Contrary to what patients typically assume about this procedure, our dental implant treatment is quite painless. If affected tooth is still in place, we can also provide a through tooth extraction and root canal, ensuring that all nerve ending and pulp are removed, creating a painless space in which to work. Then, the titanium part of the dental implant is fused with the jawbone. After about four to six month, the dental implant is fully unified with the jawbone, and a custom selected crown or bridge Is placed over the implant, creating a natural appearance, the crown is bonded securely so the new dental implant looks, act and feels just like a natural tooth. Dr. Patricia Bobadilla has the experience, training and tools necessary to perform your dental implant procedure. She has over 20 years of experience with dental implants and can create dental implants that are perfectly designed for the look and feels have in mind. Once your dental implants are fitted you can resume normal biting and you can smile with confidence once again. “Call our office today if your think you are a candidate for this type of procedure Remember that your smile is only a phone call away “ (954) 456-1939!

Budget Awareness Town Hall meeting, Feb. 6
Hallandale Beach residents and property owners will have several opportunities beginning Monday, Feb. 6, to voice their opinions on how the city should budget tax fund dollars for the 2012-2013 fiscal year. The first Budget Awareness Town Hall meeting is set for 6:30 p.m. at the Cultural Community Center, 410 SE 3rd St. Mayor Joy Cooper and the City Commission will be on hand to listen to the community before rolling up their sleeves and crunching numbers to create the budget. “Weʼre custodians of your money, and we want your advice on how to budget for next year,” said Mayor Joy Cooper. “We need your participation to budget wisely. Weʼll be there to listen so we can make wise choices in the budget process.” The meetings are being held in each of the cityʼs quadrants to ensure all residents, business owners and property owners have an opportunity to participate. Residents can attend any of the sessions, but it is encouraged to attend the meeting for your quadrant as the discussion will be specific to the
projects and programs within that area. The first meeting is for property owners, businesses and residents who live in the Southeast Quadrant, south of Hallandale Beach Boulevard and east of Dixie Highway. The second session will be Wednesday, Feb. 8, at 6:30 p.m., at Ingalls Park, 735 SW 1st Street, for the Southwest Quadrant. This is for residents and business owners south of Hallandale Beach Boulevard and west of Dixie Highway. The Northwest Quadrant residents, businesses and property owners are invited to the third Budget Awareness Town Hall Meeting, Wednesday, Feb. 22, at 6:30 p.m. at the Austin Hepburn Center, 750 NW 8th Avenue. This includes properties north of Hallandale Beach Boulevard and west of Dixie Highway. The final town hall meeting is Wednesday, Feb. 29, at 6:30 p.m., at the North Beach City Center, 2801 E. Hallandale Beach Boulevard. This session is for residents living Northeast Quadrant, north of
Hallandale Beach Boulevard, east of Dixie Highway and those properties along South Ocean Drive/A-1A. The town hall meetings are informational meetings; no decisions will be made at the sessions. City leaders must adopt a new budget by September 30, but the process has already begun. Once city leaders have drafted the budget, residents will be afforded several additional opportunities to discuss the cityʼs finances. A citywide Town Hall meeting is planned for Wednesday, May 23, at 6:30 p.m., in the City Commission chambers at City Hall. Residents will be presented with the budget outline at the meeting and asked for additional comments to help the Mayor and City Commission fine tune the cityʼs finances. “This is your chance to speak up and be heard,” said Mayor Cooper. Residents, taxpayers and business owners will have additional opportunities to discuss the budget in two workshops in August and at formal public hearings prior to final passage.

County. A partnership between the City of Hallandale Beach CRA and Habitat for Humanity is helping families refurbish four duplexes at 133 NW 1st Avenue. A federal Neighborhood Stabilization Program grant received by the City of Hallandale Beach being administered by the CRA was used to purchase the properties out of foreclosure and provide opportunities to low-income area families. “What happened was the NSP money was really to concentrate on foreclosures,” said Dr. Jackson. The City of Hallandale Beach was awarded a $1.7 million grant to pull homes and projects out of foreclosure and jumpstart the housing market in Hallandale Beach. The city, through the CRA, used the funds to purchase the duplexes and Carver Heights, which ran out of money before completion. “We identified those units that had stopped construction (at Carver Heights) and we identified these duplexes,” Dr. Jackson said. The city joined
forces with Habitat for Humanity of Broward County to identify the residents who could qualify under the tight federal income guidelines, and oversee completion of the units at Carver Heights and the duplexes on NW 1st Avenue. “Habitat has the capacity and clientele to handle this. There were relocation needs and (Habitat is) accustomed to ensuring compliance with the federal government relocation policies and procedures,” he said. The NSP money was part of the federal stimulus to restart the economy. Malter, of CNN Money, was here to profile the Hallandale Beach projects and Habitat for Humanity as examples of how the federal money is being leveraged with local resources and partnerships to revitalize communities. In the cityʼs joint-venture project, the four duplexes will be renovated into seven units, five two-bedroom, one-bath units; one three-bedroom, two-bath unit; and one one-bedroom, one-bath dwelling. While the income requirements for the duplexes is very low, 50% of the median Broward County income, the potential home buyers who earned more than the maximum, were offered other housing alternatives within the city. “Those that donʼt qualify on income, we are sending them to other properties,” said Dr. Jackson. These hopeful home buyers were directed

AVOID JOINT REPLACEMENT SURGERY WITH THE ARP WAVE
Try our painless, non-invasive technique that ends chronic pain

TESTIMONIALS For more testimonials, visit our Website: www.arpwaveclinic.com I had muscle pain in my lower back for years. I spent, and my insurance companies have spent, thousands of dollars by treating the pain (symptom) and not the injury (the muscles in my leg). My good friend and neighbor, a former NHL player and now agent, introduced me to ARP Wave. In one session last week, they identified the problem as a strained ligament in my left ankle By taping together my fibula and tibia (a job my injured ligament used to do) and using ARP Wave I am better distributing my body weight and am largely muscular pain free. I am looking forward to a summer at the cabin, doing all the things I used to do, and have not done recently. -- Tom Finnegan [Indianapolis Colts Pro Bowl Defensive Dwight] Freeney is also using a device called ARP that is similar to a stem device to move the blood supply to the damaged ankle. The ARP operates differently from normal stem devices, but ARP has helped him in past years recover quickly from groin and hamstring pulls. -- Information from ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter, ESPN.com senior writer John Clayton and The Associated Press was used in this report. After 5 years and 15 doctors and no results, I came here and virtually am now muscle pain free. It's nice to feel good again. Randy Hebrink, 48, Low Back, Neck, Rib, Shoulder Pain -- Renville, MN I think the treatment is phenomenal. I came out of the University of Minnesota and was told I'd never play baseball again because of reconstructive surgery on my left wrist and with Ben and the ARP I haven't had any trouble since. That along with my ankle this spring, they said I'd be out 6 weeks, I wasn't even out a week and a half and I didn't miss any games. I'm a walking case for Ben, but he's helped me every time.

A TOTALLY NEW CONCEPT “This is a totally new concept in health care delivery,” says ARP Wave inventor Denis Thompson of Minneapolis, MN. “All other branches of soft tissue medicine work on the area where symptoms manifest themselves. But thatʼs not the source of the pain. Ours works where your symptoms begin.” Pain from joint problems and injuries are the result of muscles improperly absorbing force. To try to avoid the pain, the brain turns to the muscles for protection. “The muscles react to the signals from the brain by trying to eliminate the pain through abnormal contractions and movements,” Thompson says. “When this happens, the muscles no longer absorb force correctly. This, in turn, results in inappropriate compensation patterns that become imprinted in muscles and continue to cause pain.” THE ARP WAVE The painless, noninvasive ARP Wave treatment begins with a technician placing an electrode on the patientʼs skin, where it identifies the signals being sent by the nervous system. “It is first a discovery
tool,” Thompson explains. “By using it, we find the neurological disconnect that is causing the inability of the muscles to absorb force that results in pain. Wherever there has been trauma, there is inflammation and scar tissue, and thatʼs the area we concentrate on.”
QUICK RECOVERY Once the source of the pain is correctly identified, treatment begins. The ARP Wave method consists of a series of painless treatments, usually about 10 of them, that are each about 20 minutes long. During the treatment, the Wave sends an electrical signal mimicking what the body should normally send on its own to direct force back to the muscles instead of to the joints, and to stimulate the muscles to correctly absorb shock again. “In other words, we retrain the muscles to do what theyʼre supposed to do,” Thompson says. Most patients are able to quickly return to activities they might not have been able to do for years. “Our goal is to help patients avoid surgery, as well as to replace time-consuming recovery methods like rest, ice and compression,” Thompson says. “ Accelerated Recovery Performance is, quite simply,

a faster way to help the body heal.”
HOW IT WORKS The ARP Wave works like this: First, it eliminates imprinting by the brain of nonproductive compensation patterns that cause the muscles to perform ineffectively, resulting in pain. The sooner the patient receives the treatment, the better. “By creating new pathways of communication between the brain and the muscles and reestablishing normal motor patterns early on, we can eliminate the imprinting more quickly,” Thompson says. Second, the treatment decreases swelling and inflammation by increasing blood circulation to the affected joint and limb. “This allows the restoration of mobility so the patient can get back to his or her normal activities and live an active lifestyle again,” Thompson says. The cost is far less than surgery, and patients avoid the long recovery times and possible side effects associated with surgery. “The ARP Wave helps people feel better fast,” Thompson says. “Our method is not alternative medi-
cine. It is a new, effective form of traditional medicine.”
VIRTUAL CLINICS To ensure precise and effective treatment, technicians at ARP Wave clinics work through computerized technology directly with the expert staff at Minneapolis headquarters. South Florida patients can come to the Hallandale Beach clinic. “One treatment is all it takes to prove it helps,” Thompson says. “Once you experience it, youʼll know it works.”

Move over apples: For some patients, an aspirin-a-day may keep the doctor away
(ARA) - The statistics are staggering: As the leading cause of death in the United States, cardiovascular (or heart) disease accounts for more than 2,200 deaths per day, or one every 39 seconds. Furthermore, the American Heart Association (AHA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention currently estimate that every year about 785,000 Americans will have their first heart attack, and another 470,000 will have a recurrent attack. And for a number of patients, talking to their doctors about low-dose daily aspirin therapy may be the "heartsmart" thing to do. For more than 100 years, aspirin has been used as a pain reliever. Since the 1970s, however, studies showed aspirin could also be used to prevent and manage heart disease. There are a variety of patients who may benefit from aspirin therapy, including people who have had a heart attack, stroke or those with any risk factor for heart disease or stroke, as well as men over age 50 and women over age 60 who have diabetes along with any other risk factor. According to the AHA, aspirin can help prevent heart attack. More specifically, the AHA recommends that people at high risk of heart attack take a daily lowdose aspirin (if told to by their health care provider), and that heart attack survivors regularly take low-dose aspirin. "You should never start aspirin therapy on your own," says cardiologist Prerana Manohar, MD. "If you feel that a daily lowdose aspirin regimen may make sense for you, be sure to talk with your doctor about its benefits and risks." Aspirin benefits the heart in several ways. It decreases pain, inhibits blood clots and most significantly, it reduces the risk of death, particularly among people with heart disease. Additionally, aspirin can significantly reduce heart damage during a heart attack, and can prevent the occurrence of future heart problems. "For individuals at high risk of suffering a cardiac event, aspirin really can make a difference," Manohar says. "For my patients who are prescribed a daily low-dose regimen, I encourage them to purchase storebrand aspirin sold at leading retailers and pharmacies. These products are regulated by the FDA and use the same active ingredients, but cost significantly less than the brand names." Allegan, Mich.-based Perrigo is a pharmaceutical company that manufactures and distributes most of the over-the-counter med-

ications found under store-brand labels at leading retailers, grocers and pharmacies. Perrigo offers consumers a variety of affordable store-brand aspirin choices that compare with a variety of brand names, including Bayer, Ecotrin and St. Joseph. Another important line of defense in protecting against heart disease is to know and maintain your numbers. This means weight/body mass index, cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure levels, as all have an impact on heart health. Additionally, exercising 30 minutes a day most days of the week and eating a heart-healthy diet low in saturated fats, cholesterol and
salt are some of the very best strategies for preventing heart disease. Avoiding the use of tobacco products, which according to Mayo Clinic is one of the most significant risk factors for developing heart disease, is also critical. Finally, seeing the doctor for regular screenings is vital for managing and preventing heart disease. "Remember to be good to your heart by eating right, moving more and working in partnership with your doctor to monitor and manage your health," says Manohar. "Together you can work to control any risk factors and determine if daily low-dose aspirin therapy is a heart-smart decision for you."

Are little urine leaks a big problem? How to talk to your doctor
(ARA) - Your friend tells you a funny joke, and then it happens. You start pedaling during your spinning class, and it happens again. You hear water running and oops, you know you will also be wet. You might feel frustrated and embarrassed, but you are not alone. In fact, these types of urine leaks are quite common. Up to 50 percent of all women have occasional urine leaks and up to 10 percent have them frequently, according to the MedlinePlus Encyclopedia. Leaking small amounts of urine when you do little things like laugh, sneeze or get up quickly are symptoms of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). What causes SUI? Leaks happen when the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body, doesn't get enough support or isn't able to close properly. Childbirth, injury to the urethra area, weak muscles, some medications, being overweight and surgery in the pelvic
area are all things that can contribute to SUI. Women can experience SUI at any age starting in their 20s, with most common occurrences in women 30 or older. Incontinence is not a normal part of aging, so don't assume that your condition just happens to "women my age." If you're like most women who experience these little leaks, your first instinct will be to reach for a box of panty liners. When these unpredictable leaks continue to cause frustration or embarrassment, you owe it to yourself to
talk to your doctor about the cause and treatment. Be the one to bring up this issue as many doctors will not ask you directly. Here are some basic questions to help you discuss your symptoms at your next appointment. 1. Is it normal that I sometimes leak urine when I cough, sneeze, laugh or exercise? 2. What are the different kinds of incontinence? Which type do you think I have? 3. Are there any lifestyle or diet changes I can make to help my condition?
Drinking Water: An Invaluable Resource Taken for Granted
(NewsUSA) - You turn on the tap, and water comes out. Period. Safe, plentiful and affordable drinking water is one of our nation's most precious resources and something most of us take for granted. But what if you turned the tap and nothing happened, or if the water you drank made you sick? While pouring a glass of water may seem simple, before it arrives at your tap there is a complex process of collecting, storing, treating and distributing that helps ensure its availability and quality. In fact, water utilities implement comprehensive water management plans to ensure that adequate amounts of drinking water are available. These include conservation and reuse, reclamation and sourcing strategies. Drinking water supplied by utilities is always treated to remove contaminants and harmful micro-organisms. That treatment process typically consists of clarification (to remove dirt and other particles), filtration (to remove even smaller particles) and disinfection (to kill bacteria and most viruses). The water is then delivered to residential and commercial customers via an extensive pipe network. Drinking water utilities are committed to protecting public health and constantly monitoring and reassessing their methods for treating water to ensure its quality. In part, this is due to changing government regulations, which periodically alter water quality standards. In addition, they may undertake other forms of treatment not expressly required to comply with regulations in order to ensure that drinking water meets and often exceeds the standards and needs of local communities. For example, they may seek to remove trace compounds that are not currently regulated, and to enhance the aesthetic quality of the water. Drinking water utilities carry out these services while also managing costs and minimizing environmental impacts of their processes; they are committed to keeping drinking water affordable. Water utilities and other stakeholders invest more than $12 million each year in the Water Research Foundation to sponsor research that enables water utilities, public health agencies and other professionals to provide safe and affordable drinking water to the public. So the next time you pour a glass of water from the tap, take a moment to honor the commitment and significant investment made to ensure the quality of that water.
For more information, visit www.waterrf.org.
4. What are the medical treatment options? How long do these treatments take? 5. What are the success rates and risk factors of each treatment? 6. Will insurance cover the costs of incontinence treatment?
If you have SUI, your doctor will likely ask you to make some lifestyle changes including bladder training in which you gradually increase the length of time between bathroom visits. Pelvic floor exercises, commonly referred to as Kegel exercises, will help to strengthen the muscles that are used to control urine flow. Hormone therapy, such as estrogen creams, may also be effective in helping to improve pelvic floor muscle tone. One common treatment for SUI is surgery to insert a mesh
sling. A less invasive option for some women is a bulking agent like Macroplastique which is injected into the tissues around the urethra. Bulking agents are designed to allow the urethra to close more effectively and prevent urine from leaking. A
urethral bulking procedure is performed in your doctor's office or in an outpatient clinic or hospital in approximately 30 minutes. Health insurance usually covers this treatment. It is important to talk to your doctor about the side effects, risks and benefits of all treatment options and what you can do to make your treatment as effective as possible.
If you have SUI, it's important to realize that it's a common problem with many potential solutions. The first step is to talk with your doctor so you can continue to live life to the fullest each day.

Solving problems that damage your home and business
WATER LEAKS: DAMAGE HAPPENS QUICKLY It doesnʼt 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 Restoration can find the leak and fix it quickly, using the latest. state-of-theart 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.
WORKING DIRECTLY WITH YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY 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 out-of-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, donʼt 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 al-
lergens. 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.
A JOB FOR PROFESSIONALS Detecting and removing toxic mold is not a simple process, and it should be done by a professional. Using the best technology and tools available, 1st Priority Restoration can get rid of the mold in your home or business before it becomes a serious problem. 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 a surface that is not yet releasing enough spores so it is visible. 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.
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 Hepa 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. 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: THE PLACE TO CALL 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, and restore the area to its original condition, all while working directly with your insurance company. The company provides start-to-finish, 24hour 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 preloss 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 Priorityʼs goal is to respond quickly and restore your home or business with the least amount of inconvenience to you.
