TIME TO BE CREATIVE While May used to be the time when many of the "snowbirds" would head back north - now things are being moved up, forcing many locals to start revving up their summer plans earlier.

There is no set combination to attracting the flow of customers during the tough months, but sitting on your hands and not being creative will only add up to a lack of money changing hands.

LIVE SUMMER RACING Usually, when May rolls around, I pull out my column and start to write that feel good, inspirational piece that is designed to motivate the businesses in our community. I guess it comes a few weeks earlier this year. Last week, Hallandale Beach Commissioner Bill Julian asked me about that very column. He said that when it comes out, there are a number of local businesses and residents who feel good about the timely shot-in-thearm that the column brings. This year, the season came and went quickly. It always does. While May used to be the time when many of the "snowbirds" would head back north - now things are being moved up, forcing many locals to start revving up their sum-

By Larry Blustein Sun Times When racing fans filed out of Gulfstream Park last Friday to signal the end of live racing for the current meet, it may have been the last time that will happen at this legendary facility.

Florida officials approved requests by Calder Race Course and Gulfstream Park to allow both tracks to begin year-round racing starting on July 1. Calder will run Friday through Sunday for a total of 158 live dates, while Gulfstream will run between two and five days a week depending on the season.

Beach resident Kevin McCormick, that is something that put a smile on his 55-year-old face. McCormick, like many others, had gotten used to the convenience of visiting Gulfstream for its live racing schedule. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– RACING, Page 6A

Art and Culture Center of Hollywood Offers Summer Arts Camp Programs for Ages 6-18

HOLLYWOOD – For the first time, the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood will offer as part of its Summer Arts Camp a one-week Hip Musicians’ Percussion Groove program in addition to its popular Young Actor/Young Artists and Broadway Actors/Broadway Actors Advanced sessions. All of the visual, performing, and interdisciplinary programs allow children and youth to practice the skills they have learned while preparing for final exhibitions/performances. Here is a look at the Center’s summer camp programs: • “Young Actors and Young Artists Series” kicks off on Monday, June 10. Parents may choose between half-day (9 a.m. to noon or 1 to 4 p.m.) and full-day (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) sessions of this popular weekday camp, where students, ages 6 to 12, can create a variety of art projects and learn the fundamentals of movement and drama. Participants may register for one or all of the camp’s five two-week sessions (for a total of 10 weeks). These classes take place at the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood’s Arts School, 1626 Harrison St. Each session culminates with a final performance or exhibition for family and friends. Cost per session: $300 members/$325 non-members for half day, or $400 members/$425 non-members for all day. • “Broadway Actors” occurs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. The first four-week session begins Monday, June 10. In this camp, students ages 8 to 15 study acting, voice, movement, improvisation, costume design, set design, and technical design. Camp participants also gain skills in character development, projection, articulation, creative thinking, problem solving, concentration, sketch design, and artistic creation. Each session culminates with a “Junior Broadway” production for the public at the Hollywood Central Performing Arts Center, located at 1770 Monroe St. (U.S. 1 and Monroe Street). Cost per session: $750 members/$800 non-members. The dates for this year’s “Broadway Actors” camps are as follows: • Session 1: June 10 – July 5 (No class on July 4) Featured Show: “Annie” Performance at 5 p.m. on July 5 • Session 2: July 15 – Aug. 9 Featured Show: “The Little Mermaid”Performance at 5 p.m. on Aug. 9 • “Broadway Actors Advanced” takes place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. This four-week camp begins Monday, June 10 for students ages 12 to 18 who have previously attended a Broadway Actors session or have had previous performing experience. Students will hone their skills and take their performance to the next level. This camp takes place in the dance studio at the Arts Park at Young Circle, located at U.S. 1 and Hollywood Boulevard. Cost: $750 members/$800 non-members. The show for “Broadway Actors Advanced” camp is “Grease, School Edition,” which takes place at 1770 Monroe St. at 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 6. All classes follow State Standards used in Florida public schools. Camp prices range from $225 to $800 per session per child.

From Page 1A –––––––––––––––––––– "Those who have done business in this region already know the drill," Farquhar pointed out. "They understand that when things are tough during the summer months, you have to give something back. We have created our summer advertising specials to make sure that our customers - new and old - can stay above water with lower prices." If you read my column each week, you know how much of a homer I am when it comes to doing everything and anything possible to get that flow started in the economy. That is why many local businesses continue to run specials that will create that traffic and bring on that confidence spending that all of us have been talking about. To me, the summer months have always been the focal point of any community. That is where your residents look up to local politicians and those who plan and promote different events to create positives within the city. While many cities take advantage of the summer - with outdoor festivals and other things to create that rush into the city, many slow things down and do little planning during May, June, July or August. That to me, is not the way for positive results. "I have long been one of those people who push for more community-oriented events," said Julian. "I think it becomes vital to any city to have things going on year round. You never know who will see a restaurant or specialty shop on that initial visit to your city. They will always come back." There is no set combination to attracting the flow of customers during the tough months, but sitting on your hands

and not being creative will only add up to a lack of money changing hands. Being part of the landscape for over two decades, the Sun Times has weathered the storm by promoting advertisers and lowering prices. That, Farquhar insists, is very important to the survival of businesses year round. "Obviously we are a business and would like to be around for

a long time," said Farquhar. "What we have done is give deals that will help these businesses get through the summer. We also promote those who advertise with us." "Most people will give you an advertisement and move on," Farquhar added. "We want you to come back and continue to help these communities grow. That is what has al-

ways separated us from the rest." The summer in

Aventura, North Miami Beach, Sunny Isles Beach, Hollywood, Dania Beach and in Hallandale will be hot, and as usual, many will struggle to stay afloat. But if you have experience at surviving the five and six months without the large crowds, you will come out in November and December with the knowledge that you have become a year round destination. "The tourists have come and gone for the 35 years I have lived in Hollywood," said Raquel Peterson. "You just have to be smart, understand

that the financial climate is not the best ever and move on, accordingly." Indeed, with rising gas prices, and goods and services going through the roof, it is always wise to look for businesses who understand what you are dealing with. Those are the people who help complete the infrastructure of any city, and that is a positive thing. Have any ideas how your community can create positives this summer?

CRA continues to provide many programs to address blight

‘AROUND HALLANDALE BEACH’

Hallandale Beach CRA continues to provide many programs to address blight. Last month the CRA Board of Directors adopted the CRA Annual Report for 2012. The report highlights the CRAs utilization of the CRA Trust to address the distressed conditions within the CRA during 2012. Keeping with the goals of comprehensively addressing slum, blight and crime prevention has been a main focus. The CRA has contracted with the police department in multiple strategies to address crime. The result was 4.1% crime reduction and over 696 youths received training or intervention. In addition to these programs, the CRA partnered with the Hepburn Center to provide employment services to 140 individuals. The CRA has also provided multiple grants to Nonprofit Agencies that provided many types of services to enhance the quality of life within the CRA. These programs promote job creation, provide job training and court diversion; to name a few. Through agencies including Phileo Outreach Ministries, Lampkins Creative Arts, Mt. Everet Resource Center, Palms

The CRA has directed Executive Director Renee Crichton Miller to amend our CRA plan based on a day long visioning session with the Board of Directors. The plan will be amended to focus on two main strategies. The first is to make tangible capital improvements that create cohesive visual appeal within all areas of the CRA. The second will be to promote projects with large scale impacts.

Mayor Joy Cooper

Center for the Arts and Palms Community Action Coalition, over 294 residents and youths were served. The CRA also continually invests in “Bricks and Mortar” projects. Through a public-private partnership, the CRA closed on 29 Affordable Housing Units and completed a rehab of 8 foreclosed townhomes. The CRA is in the process of completing crosswalk upgrades for handicap accessibility and establishing a way finding system in the CRA Area. The CRA budgeted $500,000 to rehabilitate 1st Avenue. The design of this project was approved last month and is currently being implemented. The CRA Neighborhood and Business Improvement programs continue to be very

successful. The CRA provides loans and grants to upgrade properties throughout the CRA. The CRA BOD has been focusing on the next 13 years of the CRA. Over the next years we will be expediting the upgrades of public right of ways throughout the entire CRA area. The CRA will not lose focus of the various programs, so we can continue to maintain the progress we have made. The BOD added two items to the list: NIP that will be eligible for grant/loan assistance; seawall and backyard restoration and security enhancements. The CRA Board and the City of Hallandale Beach are also providing grant opportunities to non- profits that address the goals of our city and CRA. Applications became available Monday, April 1, 2013, online at www.cohb.org or at the following locations; Cultural Community Center and Austin Hepburn

Center. The application deadline is Monday, May 13, 2013 at 4:00 pm (no exceptions and they must be time stamped by Staff.) Application packages can be delivered by mail or in person to the Austin Hepburn Center located at 750 NW 8th Avenue, Hallandale Beach, Florida 33009 ATTN: Community Partnership Grant Program. For information call the center 954-457-1460. The CRA has directed Executive Director Renee Crichton Miller to amend our CRA plan based on a day long visioning session with the Board of Directors. The plan will be amended to focus on two main strategies. The first is to make tangible capital improvements that create cohesive visual appeal within all areas of the CRA. The second will be to promote projects with large scale impacts. Public realm improvement will be tar-

geted and implemented through public-private partnerships starting with the Northwest, Federal and Dixie corridors, Southwest, Northeast and the Southeast. The three main projects that have immediate goals are; the requests for developing our lots for infill single family housing, the Dixie Foster Gateway and FEC Corridor Plan. The final CRA plan will be brought back to the board when complete.

HOLLYWOOD The City of Hollywood will soon be reaching out to residents to help get involved in designing sidewalk art for six sections of sidewalk that will be installed throughout the City. Its part of an Art of Community Grant Hollywood applied for and received from the Community Foundation of Broward. The idea behind the grant is to impact issues of public concern through a collaborative civic engagement project using the arts. A report by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation in partnership with Gallup showed “a significant connection exists between residents’ levels of emotional attachment to their community and its economic growth.” Shared meaningful experiences are an effective tool to connect people and create a sense of pride for, and attachment to, their community. City staff has worked to identify areas of highest need

areas within the community to install, replace or repair sidewalks. The grant requires the City to work with the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood to develop the artistic components for each section of sidewalk. The City will help coordinate a series of meetings throughout the City where residents can meet with the artist and share their ideas for the section of sidewalk closest to their neighborhood. The project will culminate with the installation of the artwork and sidewalk coinciding with a community unveiling. Hollywood residents have shown their interest in improving their City. Last year more than 300 residents participated in the City’s first ever Great Neighborhoods Challenge making investments and improvements in their properties and competing for grants to improve a public space in their neighborhood. The Sidewalk art project will address a

FORT LAUDERDALE - The waterfront Fort Lauderdale home of Marti and Wayne Huizenga was the lovely location again this year for PAWS’ Tea in the Garden to benefit the Humane Society of Broward County. Chairs Bonnie Muxo and Jamie Stiles were delighted with the March event’s sold-out status, and equally thrilled with the resulting sum of $41,000 raised! Arriving guests were greeted with flutes of champagne, as well as an adorable host of adoptable puppies and an Adoption Ambassador dog – all looking for forever homes. A Chinese auction also tempted attendees with the lovely items that were offered. As they mingled, guests browsed a selection of hats by Barbi Brunton and jewelry by Pamela Huizenga Jewelry; these sponsors’ hats and jewelry were also featured in a fashion show later in the afternoon, and both donated a portion of their proceeds to PAWS. Models for the fashion show were kindly provided by Betty’s Model Group. While being serenaded by harp music, tea party attendees moved outdoors to a beautiful garden setting. Once seated, they enjoyed a selection of tea sandwiches, scones and other treats. An assortment of teas was also served. The lades at Tea in the Garden wore beautiful and unique hats, all vying for the “most fabulous hat” prize – which was awarded to Michelle DiMarco for her glamorous topper. Fabulous sponsors for the event included: Marti and Wayne Huizenga, Lorraine Thomas, AutoNation, Bimini Boatyard Bar & Grill, Christine and Austin Forman, Christy and Andrew Gumberg, Bonnie Muxo / Design Momentum, Ingrid and Brian Poulin, Rick Case Auto Group, Stiles Corporation, Grateful Palate, Barbara and Arnold Grevior, Lilac And Lilies, Jorj Morgan and Cindy Greenberg, Lys and Bill Rubin, Sheri and Don Whittington, Mad Hatters (Melody Saleh, Sylvia Sperry, Suzie Smith, Doreen Outler, Jonelle Milton, Cherie Marshall, Jan Joyce, Joan Brochu), Premier Beverage Company, Vine & Branches Chardonnay, Barbi Brunton, Pamela Huizenga Jewelry and Betty’s Model Group. PAWS (Pets are Worth Saving) was founded in 1997 to generate awareness and funds for the Humane Society of Broward County. The auxiliary hosts various events throughout the year including PAWS on the Green ladies invitational golf tournament, the Doggie Ball and the Angel PAWS Fashion Show.

From Page 1A –––––––––––––––––––– "This is tremendous news," McCormick smiled. "This is what many of us live here for. This is our enjoyment, and having to drive 10 miles, really wasn't appealing." Live racing will really help Gulfstream more than any other facility. The idea of having people coming there in the summer truly helps with the many businesses and restaurants that need that economic boost. The move to summer racing enhances that those restaurants and man specialty shops will have a better economic summer. "There is plenty of optimism going around this facility," said tenant Mike Russo. "Just to have a few days with extra people coming here is enough to get through those long, hot months." Russo believes that Gulfstream and its property will benefit for years to come. The very fact that ownership recognizes that there are so many year round businesses that need that help is something that keeps everyone moving forward. "I know they try and bring different things into this facility," Russo pointed out. "Anything that would drive traffic to some of our businesses in here is always a plus." Gulfstream will hold racing on weekends only from July 1 to Nov. 30; Fridays through Sundays Dec. 6 to Dec. 14; four days a week for the following three weeks, and five days a week through March 30 during the winter season. Gulfstream Thoroughbred After Racing Program Inc., a company owned by Gulfstream Park, also received approval for a permit to race Quarter Horses on June 30 and July 1. Horsemen report the permit was obtained

only to qualify for an additional casino license if expanded gambling legislation passes in the county. HANDLE RECORD SMASHED - AGAIN Gulfstream Park will end its meet Friday setting records in both total handle and on-track handle for the third consecutive meet. Gulfstream's total handle will be approximately $769 million, up nine percent from $673 million in 2011-2012. Meanwhile, on-track handle will be approximately $63 million, up 22 percent from 2011-2012 when on-track handle surpassed the $50 million mark for the first time in Gulfstream's new facility. "We're thankful to our

fans and the horsemen for making our 20122013 meet such a success," said Gulfstream President Tim Ritvo. "Our guests continue to provide us with meaningful feedback on everything from our facility to food and beverage to the racing program. They are invaluable to our continued success and they are the economic engine that drives the entire

sport. We look forward to their input as we strive to build Florida Thoroughbred racing and continue to make customer service a priority. "Once again, the horsemen and jockeys put on a tremendous show. Starting with the Claiming Crown Dec. 1 to the record-setting Florida Derby March 30 to the Rainbow 6 payout on closing day, they were the main attraction and provided us with world-class racing. We look forward to building on our relationship. "The vision of our Chairman, Mr. Frank Stronach, is to build Thoroughbred racing and continue making Gulfstream a year-round destination. In the next three months, we will work toward that goal and toward our first season of summer racing beginning July 1."

The Classical Sundays at Five concert experience brings the tradition of the salon concerts of the 19th century back to life, allowing artist and audience to know each other on a deeper level than ever before. By breaking the barrier between artist and audience through a guided tour of the program and artist insights, a new level of intimacy between performer and spectator is achieved. This will not be the first time these two highly acclaimed artists have joined forces. Klotz, the violist with the Amernet String Quartet (Ensemble in residence at FIU) and Gekic (Artist in Residence at FIU) have had the opportunity to collaborate on several chamber projects in the past, but this will be the first time with just the two musicians in a program that features works that showcase this unique pairing of instruments. Michael Klotz made his solo debut with the Rochester Philharmonic at the age of 17. He has also appeared as soloist with the Miami Symphony, Eastman Philharmonia, Mannes Bach Festival Orchestra, Bowdoin Festival Orchestra, and the World Youth Symphony in London, England. Kemal Gekic has graced the stages of the Miami International Piano Festival since his US debut at the second annual Festival in 1999 which ultimately led to his appointment as Artist in Residence at FIU. Since then

On Sunday April 21 at 5P.M. the unique Classical Sundays at Five series comes to a spectacular close with the extraordinary violist Kemal Gekic, left, and acclaimed pianist Michael Klotz. he has been an inspiration to students and audiences and is a collaborating partner with Festival Artistic Director, Giselle Brodsky on many projects. His worldwide touring schedule has earned him enthusiastic fans across the globe and his many exquisite recordings have made him the “standard bearer” for much of his repertoire, and in particular, his Liszt interpretations. The duo will perform works by Vivaldi’s Sonata in B flat Major, Ernest Bloch’s Suite Hebraique which was written for violin or viola with versions for orchestra and piano. It draws on traditional Jewish sources, such as the sound of the shofar's call, as Bloch explored his Judaic heritage. In addition Maria Theresia von Paradis’ Sicilenne and Fritz Kreisler’s Toy Soldier’s March will be performed. Klotz & Gekic have selected the pieces typically performed by viola and piano. Finally Rachmaninov’s beloved Cello Sonata in G

Zoetic stage brings their season at Arsht Center to a close with ‘The Savannah Disputation’

SPOTLIGHT ON STAGE

This wonderfully funny and thought-provoking play, features a great creative cast that will entertain any audience with its humorous debate on faith and belief. The production of “The Savannah Disputation” shows how the irrational idea of trying to bully others into accepting one’s beliefs which is portrayed in a very hilarious manner. The scene takes place in a home on Duffy Street near Skidaway, Savannah, Georgia. Two extremely feisty Catholic sisters, Mary and Margaret, find themselves in a verbal downright disagreement when Melissa, a young persistent Pentecostal missionary, who appears on their doorstep and is asking Mary whether she has been saved. She answers in the affirmative and sends her on her way with some harsh words. Later she regrets she didn’t ask her to return, in order to slam the door in her face once more. Her wish is granted, only this time Margaret, more good natured, invites her into their home, only to be warned by the missionary, that the sisters are idol-worshiping heathens who will burn forever. To rebuke the missionary and expose this deluded young lady, the sisters engage the help of their unsuspecting parish priest, Father Murphy, setting the stage for a real hysterical theological showdown to prove what it means to truly

Bad Company former lead singer Brian Howe comes to Mardi Gras, Apr. 23

As one of rock's legendary voices, Brian Howe exploded onto the scene when he partnered up as lead vocalist with multi-platinum artist Ted Nugent for the 1983 album, Penetrator. As the front man of Nugent's live show, the album’s tour took Howe around the globe – his first opportunity to share his killer rock vocals internationally, and it wouldn't be long before the world would take notice of Howe’s ascension to super-stardom with his next venture Bad Company. After 5 albums in as many years, and frequent touring, Bad Company wrapped up the 70's in a decline. At this point the band decided to take some time off which proved to be professionally disastrous. Maybe it was a new decade, and a new wave of artist, the importance of MTV, or simply that the band could not find its stride again As one of rock's legendary voices, Brian Howe exsince their last successes in the 70's. Whatever the ploded onto the scene when he partnered up as lead reasons, the group wound up releasing the album vocalist with multi-platinum artist Ted Nugent. On Tuesday, April 23, he will give a free concert in the Rough Diamonds in 1981 which continued their Grandstand at 8 p.m. downward spiral, resulting in the band performing at much smaller venues and consequently, the departure of Paul Rodgers - leaving remaining members to re-evaluate the group's future. Enter Brian Howe - Bad Company courted Brian to take the helm as lead vocalist in 1984. He accepted the offer, launched the group back into sold out arena tours, and the rest is history. Subsequently, Brian created, wrote, recorded and toured with Bad Company for the next ten years, headlining every major venue around the globe. In 1991 Brian Howe was reunited once again with Ted Nugent when Damn Yankees were brought on to support Brian and Bad Company in what was credited as one of the top 5 grossing tours of that year. In addition to Bad Company's highly acclaimed, (and long–awaited) 1993 live CD What You Hear Is What You Get - The Best of Bad Company – Live, Brian wrote and sold 19 million additional albums highlighted by such radio and MTV music video hits as Holy Water, If You Needed Somebody, No Smoke Without A Fire and How About That. Today, Brian and the band continue to perform around the globe and are currently working on a brand new studio CD.

from feeding and foraging pests by applying an insecticide, such as GardenTech Sevin products, which breaks down in the environment. Depending on the produce, this insecticide can be applied throughout the growing season, right up until the day before harvest. * Remove unsightly weeds. Warmer weather also will undoubtedly introduce the presence of ugly growth on decks and walkways, and in landscapes. A specialized herbicide is just the solution to eliminate troublesome moss and other weeds - letting your home's exterior shine when it matters most. * Prevent pesky party-crashers. To prevent pest infesta-

tions while guests enjoy themselves, apply insect bait around the perimeter of planting beds and entertainment areas. The bait serves as a protective barrier, so insects don't come inside those areas to cause mischief. Foraging insects take the granules back to their nests and share - eliminating colonies at their source. * Green-up landscapes. Take your pale green or yellowing plants - a common symptom of iron deficiency - from plain to vibrant with a mineral supplement, such as Ironite. The "greening" supplement ensures plants receive the essential secondary and micro-nutrients they need to develop strong roots and lush, green growth. Feeding is made easy with liquid and granule formulations that have been customized for various plant types and application needs. * Leave a lasting-impression. Impress and indulge guests by incorporating garden-fresh ingredients (herbs, veggies and fruits) in your meal. You can even take it a step further by creating gift basket party favors stocked full of your own homegrown goodies - an idea that is sure to keep guests coming back.

Cue up the invites, apply these tips and throw in a few of your own. You're now ready for a little outdoor entertaining. For more information and additional helpful hints, check out www.central.com.

100+ and Counting! FORT LAUDERDALE - The Humane Society of Broward County’s Adoption Ambassador Program, in conjunction with the ASPCA, has reached a milestone with 117 dogs being adopted, since the first dog was placed with an Adoption Ambassador in late August of 2012. Being an Adoption Ambassador is a lot like fostering, but goes a step further. Ambassadors “market” the dogs through social media, going to events, making flyers and posting at work, and networking with their friends and family. The dog’s photo also remains on the Humane Society of Broward County’s website and dogs in the program are identified with a border around their picture. In addition, each dog is fitted with a bright orange vest that says “Adopt Me” so that while they are out-and-about with their temporary families others will know the canine is looking for forever home. The Ambassadors interview potential adopters and complete all necessary paperwork once the perfect home is found. Currently there are 54 active Ambassador Families including 22 which are Teens Ambassadors. (Teens can earn their required high school community service hours for participating in the program.) The average stay for a dog with an Ambassador Family is just 22 days, but for some dogs it was shorter…there have been eight dogs that were adopted by their Ambassador Families. For more details call Linda at 954-2666839 and sign up for one of the upcoming orientations which will be held on: Thursday, April 18 5:00 – 7:00; Saturday, May 4, 10:30 – 12:30; Thursday May 16 5:00 – 7:00; Saturday June 1 10:00 – 12:00 or Thursday June 13 5:00 – 7:00.

SUCCESS STORY UNFOLDS AT GULFSTREAM MIDDLE SCHOOL

The most exciting news ever to embrace Gulfstream Middle School in Hallandale came last week when Principal of the Year Brian Kingsley was informed by Take Stock In Children (http://www.takestockinchildren.org/whatwe-do/index) that 5 Gulfstream Middle School Students, all 6th Graders, were selected to participate in the Take Stock in Children Mentoring Program, ultimately receiving 4 year full scholarships to attend college after they graduate high school.

BROWARD DENTAL IMPLANTS & COSMETIC CENTER

Are Dental Implants a choice for you?

WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS? Dental implants are replacement tooth roots. Implants provide a strong foundation for fixed (permanent) or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF DENTAL IMPLANTS? There are many advantages to dental implants, including: Improved appearance. Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth. And because they are designed to fuse with bone, they become permanent. Improved speech. With poor-fitting dentures, the teeth can slip within the mouth causing you to mumble or slur your words. Dental implants allow you to speak without the worry that teeth might slip. Improved comfort. Because they become part of you, implants eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures. Easier eating. Sliding dentures can make chewing difficult. Dental implants function like your own teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods with confidence and without pain. Improved self-esteem. Dental implants can give you back your smile and help you feel better about yourself. Improved oral health. Dental implants don't require reducing other teeth, as a toothsupported bridge does. Because nearby teeth are not altered to support the implant, more of your own teeth are left intact, improving longterm oral health. Individual implants also allow easier access between teeth, improving oral hygiene. Durability. Implants are very durable and will last many years. With good care, many implants last a lifetime. Convenience. Removable dentures are just that; removable. Dental implants eliminate the embarrassing inconvenience of removing dentures, as well as the need for messy adhesives to keep them in place. The least costly and most commonly used method by dentists to restore a patient’s dentition is the removable denture. The downside of the removable denture is the inconvenience of daily removal and maintenance. Dental implants on the contrary are securely anchored to your jaw and look and feel more

like your real teeth, with the added durability of being resistant to decay and comfortable with which to chew. The dental implant itself is made of Titanium, a very strong, corrosionresistant, natural element that is perfectly biocompatible with bone. It therefore makes an ideal root replacement (anchor) for your missing tooth. The implant is placed within the upper and/or lower jaw to act as a direct or indirect anchor for the replacement teeth. More Natural. Teeth replaced with dental implants offer a more natural look and feel for the patient. As the implant fuses with the bone in the jaw, the prosthesis is securely anchored with no chance of embarrassing movement of the replacement teeth. With dental implants, your teeth look, feel and function in a healthy and stronger manner. No Movement. Due to this enhanced anchorage offered by dental implants, patients develop improved confidence that they would not necessarily attain from a removable prosthesis (no need for messy adhesives). With dental implants, a person can feel secure that their teeth will not move. There are no limits to your activities for fear of embarrassment of your denture moving. No Sore Spots. Because your implant supported replacement teeth are not resting directly on the tissue of your mouth, you don’t develop uncomfortable sore spots. On the other hand, removable dentures can cause inflammation of the mouth tissues that are under the denture itself, primarily if not removed every night when sleeping and if not cleaned on a daily basis. Stimulation of bone growth: Keeping your teeth helps to preserve your jaw bones. Once a tooth is lost, one of the major problems that face dentists that treat eden-

tulous patients is the continuing loss of jaw bone. The result of all this bone loss over time is that removable dentures start fitting less and less well. As the tissue under the denture starts to shrink and pull away from the underside of the denture, it leaves less and less support underneath the removable prosthesis. This is when all the problems associated with an ill-fitting denture start to show. Dental implants, like natural teeth, help to stimulate bone growth. One of the most fascinating and important properties of titanium, the material from which dental implants are made, is that it attracts the growth of bone cells. Improved Chewing Function: Due to the lack of permanent anchorage, removable dentures can move or slip while eating, therefore making eating a difficult and less than desirable task. The ability to chew foods improves dramatically with dental implants. Improved Taste Sensation: A complete upper removable denture covers the entire roof of the mouth. Your tongue and the roof of your mouth are covered with thousands of tiny taste buds. Once the roof of the mouth is covered with the removable denture, food becomes less easy to taste, more difficult to sample and enjoy. With an implantsupported prosthesis, the roof of the mouth is not covered and food can be tasted by all the taste receptors in the mouth. LONG LASTING: WITH PROPER CARE, IMPLANTS CAN LAST A LIFETIME Enhanced Phonetics. Removable dentures can slip and slide around in the mouth. A complete, upper denture, and some designs of upper partial dentures, cover the roof of the mouth. Both can result in interference with

the normal phonetic movements of the tongue, causing difficulty in normal speech. Implant supported teeth normalize speech and allow the person to regain confidence when speaking in social settings. Improved nutritional uptake by digestive system. Digestion begins in the mouth. Teeth subject food to the mechanical process of grinding, breaking it down into smaller and smaller pieces. Almost simultaneous with the smelling and chewing of food, saliva secretes onto and mixes with it. The enzymes in the saliva begin the further digestive breakdown of food. Now, if the step of mastication (grinding) of food were to be reduced due to inefficiency of a removable denture, the digestive process would be altered and food would not get properly digested further along the digestive tract. This improper digestion directly leads to fewer vital nutrients being absorbed later on in the digestive system. HOW SUCCESSFUL ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS? Success rates of dental implants vary, depending on where in the jaw the implants are placed but, in general, dental implants have a success rate of up to 98%. With proper care (see below), implants can last a lifetime. CAN ANYONE GET DENTAL IMPLANTS? In most cases, anyone healthy enough to undergo a routine dental extraction or oral surgery can be considered for a dental implant. Patients should have healthy gums and enough bone to hold the implant. They also must be committed to good oral hygiene and regular dental visits. Heavy smokers, people suffering from uncontrolled chronic disorders -- such as diabetes or heart disease -- or patients who have had radiation therapy to the head/neck area need to be evaluated on an individual basis. If you are considering implants, talk to your dentist to see if they are right for you. WHAT IS INVOLVED IN GETTING A DENTAL IMPLANT? The first step in the dental implant process is the development of an individualized treatment plan. The plan addresses your specific needs and is prepared by a team of professionals who are specially

trained and experienced in oral surgery and restorative dentistry. This team approach provides coordinated care based on the implant option that is best for you. Next, the tooth root implant, which is a small post made of titanium, is placed into the bone socket of the missing tooth. As the jawbone heals, it grows around the implanted metal post, anchoring it securely in the jaw. The healing process can take from six to 12 weeks. Once the implant has bonded to the jawbone, a small connector post -called an abutment -- is attached to the post to securely hold the new tooth. To make the new tooth or teeth, your dentist makes impressions of your teeth, and creates a model of your bite (which captures all of your teeth, their type, and arrangement). The new tooth or teeth is based on this model. A replacement tooth, called a crown, is then attached to the abutment. Instead of one or more individual crowns, some patients may have attachments placed on the implant that retain and support a removable

denture. Your dentist also will match the color of the new teeth to your natural teeth. Because the implant is secured within the jawbone, the replacement teeth look, feel, and function just like your own natural teeth. HOW PAINFUL ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS? Most people who have received dental implants say that there is very little discomfort involved in the procedure. Local anesthesia can be used during the procedure, and most patients report that implants involve less pain than a tooth extraction. After the dental implant, mild soreness can be treated with over-thecounter pain medications, such as Tylenol or Motrin+Ora l" Motrin. HOW DO I CARE FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS? Dental implants require the same care as real teeth, including brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups. Call us today! To find out if you are a candidate for this kind of procedure.

Baby boomers and driving vision maintaining safety and independence

(BPT) - Baby boomers, those born between 1946 and 1964, are aging differently than any generation in U.S. history. Today, older Americans remain more active later in life, working longer and engaging in hobbies and recreational activities. It is estimated that by 2030, nearly one in five adults will be 65 and older. In 2050, this group is projected to reach 88 million - more than double the 40 million in 2010. This will lead to a significant increase in older adults driving vehicles for both necessity and pleasure. Unfortunately vision,

cognitive skills and motor functions decline as we age. As many as 5,288 people age 65 and older were killed and 187,000 were injured in traffic accidents, according to 2009 data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. That group accounted for 16 percent of all traffic deaths and 8 percent of the injured, but accounted for only 13-percent of the population. As the 65 and over demographic increases to 20 percent of the population in 2030, the number of accidents and fatalities among this group is expected to in-

crease. Most states have minimum vision requirements to possess a driver's license. A 2006 Vision Council report indicates that the 10 states with the highest rate of fatal crashes include four that require no vision screening for license renewal and four that only require vision screenings at intervals of eight or more years. The Vision Council also reported that only 20 states require more frequent vision screenings for older drivers. Importantly, there are proactive measures seniors can take to preserve and enhance their vision. Many clini-

cal research studies have demonstrated that older drivers can improve their vision by eating foods rich in the nutrients zeaxanthin (zee-uh-zan-thin) and lutein or taking eye vitamins containing these nutrients. These nutrients create a protective film in the back of the eye known as, "macular pigment" to protect and improve vision. These nutrients have been scientifically proven to enhance driving vision and driver confidence. -Your eye care professional and the American Optometric Association website are excellent sources of information regarding nutrition and eye

Mount Sinai Medical Center Achieves Positive Net Income for the Fourth Consecutive Year

MIAMI BEACH - For the fourth year in a row, Mount Sinai Medical Center’s mission-driven operations have brought positive earnings and reinforced the medical center’s strong image as a healthcare leader and community resource. Mount Sinai’s 2012 net revenues were $497.1 million in 2012, up from $484.9 million in the prior year, representing a 2.5 percent increase. This is due to an increase in cardiac-related procedures, outpatient surgical volume and emergency department visits on the hospital’s Miami Beach and Aventura campuses. The Mount Sinai Heart Institute, a partnership with New York’s Columbia University, continued to produce strong cardiac surgical volume by capturing the largest market share of all cardiac surgeries in Miami-Dade, as well as the largest market share of cardiac valve and bypass surgeries in South Florida. In addition, diagnostic cardiac catheterization and angioplasty procedures increased by 6.9 and 12.9 percent, respectively, as compared to the prior year. The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) data shows that Mount Sinai continues to be the area’s leader in cardiovascular care. Mount Sinai has the best cardiac surgical outcomes in Florida among adult hospitals that perform more than 600 cases. In addition, Mount Sinai’s chief of cardiac surgery, Dr. Joseph Lamelas, performs the most heart valve surgeries in Florida. Mount Sinai also offers patients the best heart attack survival rate in the state, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Hospital Compare data. Mount Sinai’s emergency room visits increased by 5.1 percent, or 3,091 visits, as compared to the prior year, driven by the freestanding emergency room in Aventura, which showed a 5.8 percent increase in visits. The Miami Beach campus’ emergency room showed a 4.9 percent increase in visits. Additionally, Mount Sinai’s satellite facilities in Hialeah, Coral Gables and Key Biscayne experienced continued outpatient growth. Mount Sinai Hialeah and Mount Sinai Key Biscayne experienced a 77 and 18 percent growth, respectively, from the prior year. The Mount Sinai Comprehensive Cancer Center is the only oncology program in Florida to receive the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer (CoC) Outstanding Achievement Award three consecutive times. Mount Sinai was also the first hospital in South Florida to receive accreditation in radiation oncology by the American College of Radiology (ACR) and The American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO). The ACR-ASTRO seal of accreditation represents the highest level of quality and patient safety. Fewer than 10 percent of radiation oncology programs nation-wide are accredited. The medical center continues to be a leader in lifesaving research and remains committed to its teaching program, training more than 166 residents and fellows in 19 medical specialties. Mount Sinai also serves as the training ground for 342 allied health students and 577 student nurses. Consistent with its mission, Mount Sinai provided more than $119 million in charitable services and uncompensated care that was not reimbursed through traditional safety net programs in 2012, compared to over $99.6 million in 2011. Mount Sinai remains dedicated to the health and well-being of the South Florida community, which is demonstrated by its ongoing efforts to make healthcare more accessible, while providing the latest treatment options as a world-class healthcare provider.

health. Glare is a common complaint among older drivers, particularly at night. When a driver is "blinded" by an oncoming car's lights, they are literally "driving blind" for a period of time until vision recovers.- Imagine driving at 60 mph with your eyes closed for five seconds. You would travel 440 feet during that five second period - the equivalent of one and a half football fields. Studies have demonstrated that recovery time from bright light-induced glare can be reduced by as much as five seconds by increasing macular pigment density through zeaxanthin and lutein supplementation. Dense or thick MPOD (Macular Pigment Optical Density) can reduce

uncomfortable and dangerous glare caused by oncoming headlights, street lights, and traffic lights; enhance contrast sensitivity to help drivers see pedestrians, vehicles, and other objects; and help diminish discomfort or sensitivity to bright sunlight. While lutein is commonly available in the average diet from dark green leafy vegetables like spinach and broccoli, dietary zeaxanthin is scarce in the average U.S. daily diet. Corn, orange peppers, brightly colored fruits and vegetables, and eggs contain low quantities of zeaxanthin, which means one would have to eat approximately 20 ears of corn to obtain the daily recommended amount of dietary zeaxanthin associated with healthy macular pigment. Eye vitamins like EyePromise are doctor recommended, proven and guaranteed to increase macular pigment. The dietary zeaxanthin contained in EyePromise eye vitamin formulas is derived from unique orange paprika peppers, a natural botanical source rich in this important nutrient. Many Optometrists and Ophthalmologists offer MPOD (Macular Pigment Optical Density) measurement through a simple, fast, and inexpensive exam. Contact your eye care professional about having your macular pigment measured, and increasing your MPOD if needed. Driving safety is important at any age, but as our population ages at an unprecedented pace, proactively taking care of your vision is vital to safety and independence.
