Stephen Cummings is the 2012 Kiwanis Advisor of the Year

Last weekend, our own Stephen Cummings went to Orlando to take part in the annual Key Club convention, which is an organization that, through his work with the Kiwanis Club, has given Cummings the opportunity to touch many lives in a positive way - as a mentor and as someone who has given back to his community at Hallandale High School. What Cummings never expected was to be honored for something he does from the heart. With over 300 advisors eligible for the chance to win the Kiwanis Advisor of the Year, Cummings was chosen for this impressive honor. Congratulations to someone who continues to make our community a better place.

Discovery 2 Dejavu art his concerns and understanding of the space in which he believes himself and every creature find their existence. He embraces to his imagination as revealed in his fantasy world, inspired by his spirit and free of the conscious control of reason. Rojmeck exposes his feelings and impressions of primitive living in a

modern world to a blank canvas, filling it with colorful symbolic forms and shapes. His impression of a natural world is an abstract of space, a surreal part of the universe. “I strive to find freedom, peace, love and harmony beyond the confusion, hate, terror, anger and division prevailing in this world” says Rojmeck.

‘AROUND THE CITY OF CHOICE’ City Commission conducts important monthly City Manager workshop HALLANDALE BEACH - This past Monday the City Commission conducted our monthly City Manager workshop which focused on updates for our parks activity and public works construction, a report from our Transportation/Flood Mitigation Advisory Board and our budget. BUDGET- TAX RATE TO STAY THE SAME City Manager Antonio is recommending that the City continue to keep the same tax millage rate of 5.9. In a previous article I reported that Staff’s requested budget included almost $30 million in departmental requests. The Commission and Staff worked together to trim the majority of their requests without sacrificing the level of services needed to maintain what our residents demand. These are still lean budget times. As the City Manager stated, after years of picking off the low hanging fruit combined with multiple years of declining revenues, further cuts would equate to impacting our services. Even with an increase of tax revenues of under a million dollars generated by increased property valuation of 4.6 %, keeping the same millage rate was not an easy task. Once again we are fortunate to have reserve funds. Last year we only utilized 490,000 of 3.3 million in budgeted general fund reserves. This year to maintain the level of services and keep the tax rate at 5.9%, the City Manager’s goal was not to increase the budget. The overall budget of 94 million would have remained flat at last year’s 91 million dollar level if it was not for changes in the CRA management staff and 2.6 million in pension obligations. The budget is projecting the use of 6.5 million dollars in general fund reserves which represents a roll over in capital projects that were obligated, but not completed in 2012. Even using reserve funds to cover the city budget gap, we will still have 33 million in overall reserves. This represents 1/3 of the overall budget of 94 million. With the general fund budget at 50 million, our general fund at 13 million for the budget year represents 20 % of the general fund budget.

Mayor Joy Cooper In accounting standards for operation the target is 10% of operations. One would argue that maintaining the millage rate is still a tax increase for homesteaded properties. This is not due to us increasing taxes. It is in effect of what is called the recapture rule. Homesteaded properties have a 3% cap on the value they can be taxed at. In other words your home may be valued at 200,000 but due to exemptions and the Save Our Homes Cap, owners are only paying on homesteaded assessed value. The assessed values cannot exceed 3%. Non-homesteaded property and commercial property fluctuates directly with values. If the values go down or up, so do the taxes. IMPROVING SERVICES The City maintains the goal of doing more with less while maintaining or increasing levels of services. Since 2008 we have frozen and eliminated positions. In addition to operational efficiencies, changing some planned improvements and basic belt tightening; staffing freezes have helped us to keep the tax rate the same. In some areas, particularly landscaping and maintenance, budget cuts have impacted the quality we want to maintain within our parks and along our roadways. After reviewing, reclassifying and realigning some staffing levels, the City Manager has recommended an increase in full time equivalent positions to 25. FTEs include both full-time and part-time employees. CLEAN CITY SERVICES Many areas of proposed staff increases will be in sanitation, street maintenance and parks. Six of the full-time employees that are recommended will be focusing on the goal of maintaining landscaping, streets and our

parks with three parttime positions being utilized. After evaluating the pros and cons of contracted services and part-time labor opportunities, it was recommended that these positions be filled. Due to successful union negotiations we are able to hire full-time employees with benefits without long-term pension costs. This will provide us a better level of service at a lower cost and provide management more control over employee performance. MAINTAINING INFRASTURTURE Keeping with the goal of ensuring that the management of our construction work projects and facilities are maintained there were six full-time employees recommended within sanitation, the sewer department and water administration. With the aging infrastructure in our community we have many public works projects that are underway that are critical for us to sustain our services, as well as protect our environmental resources. There is also an addition of the warehouse inventory clerk to ensure proper controls of all our assets. SUSTAINING OUR PARKS Other F/T and P/T employees that were recommended include Marina Assistance, Recreational Aides and Personnel Analysts. As part of our Master Parks Plan we evaluated operation and management to ensure that the dollars invested in our bricks and mortar were not wasted. We have

many programs within our parks that provide services for toddlers all the way to seniors. We also will be opening our Marina within the next month for operations. These serv-

ices and programs increase the quality of life for our residents while making our community more desirable. FRANCHISE FEES

The City annually evaluates all our fees for services. This year the City Manager is proposing an increase on the franchise fee –––––––––––––––––––– COOPER, Page 8A

AVENTURA HEAR CENTER ‘NEW wireless aids make watching TV a pleasure again!’ Hear From Page 1A –––––––––––––––––––– If you call in the morning, you can usually get an appointment the same day, and if you just want to drop by while you are in the area, Ellen will do her best to get you right in. "What we are doing here," Bob said, "is offering the best hearing care anywhere, so you won't wait long to see me and you will be treated professionally and courteously." The hearing evaluation takes 15 to 20 minutes and there is no charge. "The first thing I do is to check the ears with our advanced equipment." A video-otoscope is used, a non-invasive device that transmits images of the ear canal and eardrum onto a monitor's high definition plasma screen. "I look in there and make sure there is not a lot of wax in the ear. Wax can cause a mild hearing loss, and sometimes removing the wax eliminates the problem! If there is no excessive wax, we go to the test room and I do an audiometric evaluation to see if there are some tones the patient cannot hear well." The natural aging process and noise can cause a hearing loss, natural aging being the most common reason for hearing problems. Stereos, I-pods, boom boxes, traffic, and a noisy work environment all contribute to the cause. "It's the prolonged exposure to noise that does it," he said. BENITEZ WAS STARKEY LAB'S FITTING SPECIALIST Before coming to the Aventura HEAR Center, Bob was, for 13 years, with Starkey Laboratories, the premier manufacturer of hearing technology in the United States. He is a Harvard graduate, a licensed Hearing Aid Specialist in the State of Florida, and nationally Board Certified in Hearing Instrument Sciences. At Starkey, he was a fitting specialist. "I was the one

to whom people like myself (a hearing professional) would send their patients when they couldn't figure out a way to make those patients happy with their hearing instruments." This experience made Bob an expert with hearing aid fittings. “The new digital instruments are complex and require expertise if they are to be properly tuned for a patient’s individual needs,” Bob said.

help is now available that really works.

IT IS POSSIBLE YOU SUFFER SOME HEARING LOSS If the tests show conclusively that you suffer permanent hearing loss … Benitez said, " One out of three Americans over age 65 has a hearing problem and half of adults over 75 have one. Everyone over 65 years old should be getting their hearing checked regularly. Hearing problems, like having difficulty understanding what people say, can get worse if not treated. That is why it’s important to get your hearing checked. Once you know you have a problem, you can take steps to deal with it. Just as your primary care physician does not routinely check your eyesight, she or he will not be checking your hearing. In both cases physicians normally assume you are seeing a specialist for care in these areas. The sad part is that while most seniors take good care of their eyes, very few actually have yearly hearing tests. There is no reason for it! You do not need a referral to have a hearing evaluation—just call the Aventura HEAR Center and ask for an appointment!” Improved hearing leads to an improved quality of life. Many people who have a hearing loss become more and more isolated because they cannot enjoy conversations in social situations, but hearing

THE NEWEST TECHNOLOGY Hearing aids have become very sophisticated and there are many, many choices. How is a patient to decide which hearing aid to wear? “It starts with a hearing professional you can trust,” Benitez said. “It is a good thing to do research and find out what you can about hearing loss and how hearing aids can help, but when it comes to choosing a hearing aid, you need to follow the advice of a professional.” Many patients think because their friend or a family member did well with a particular hearing aid that they will also do well. “That’s not always the case. Certain types of hearing instruments are designed for particular configurations of hearing loss, and your friend or relative may have a high frequency loss and do well with those aids, but you have a low frequency loss and the aid is completely inadequate for you. As a hearing professional, I am responsible for evaluating your loss and recommending the appropriate hearing aid for your loss, lifestyle, and budget.” “Lifestyle is important,” he adds, “because a person who is not active or who has a very limited social life due to health issues simply does not need some of the advanced features available on the more sophisticated instru-

ments.” Some hearing aids offer features designed specifically for very active social lives, and that is not what everyone needs. On the other hand, most patients would benefit from a hearing aid that does not whistle all the time, or an aid that makes noisy rooms more comfortable, or one that allows for telephone use without having to push a button. Benitez said, “many of the old problems that people had with hearing aids which prevented them from wearing them have been overcome by advances in technology, so even if you have tried hearing aids in the past and did not liked them, there are good reasons to take a second listen.” And what about all those different hearing aid companies, which one makes the best hearing aids? “They all do,” Benitez adds with a chuckle, “it’s not the company, it’s the professional fitting you that is crucial.” There are several big hearing aid companies worldwide, and they all make very good products, they are all priced very competitively, and the Aventura HEAR Center has relationships with all of them. “It used to be one company was better at

WI SERIES WIRELESS HEARING AIDS MAKE TV VIEWING A PLEASURE “Many patients complain that they cannot hear TV well. They have to turn up the volume and their spouses (or neighbors) complain that it is too loud. New wireless technology allows effortless TV viewing by turning the hearing aids into personal headsets—it’s like wearing earphones! The hearing aids are nearly invisible and very comfortable to wear.” What about people who want hearing aids that are more than “nearly” invisible? Benitez says, “We have two options for the patient

who wants completely invisible hearing aids: the extended-wear devices that stay in the ears for two or three months and are then replaced with new ones, or the new SoundLense from Starkey that also disappear into the ear canal but use regular batteries and last several years before they need to be replaced. They have been very well received by the public and are the most cost-effective ‘invisible’ solution.” Finally, what of the many people who have just a little bit of a hearing problem but want to hear better without spending a lot of money? “Well,” Benitez smiles, “we’ve got just the thing for them. It’s called the AMP and it is a personal amplifier that is small and discreet, appropriate for mild losses, and costs only $750 per side. It is the best way to begin to experience better hearing sooner rather than later when hearing aids may not help as much.” It sounds like there is a way to help anyone who wants to hear better. “Exactly, we have solutions for every type of loss and every budget!” So, what are you waiting for? An invitation?

COOL AIR USA Best in residential & commercial air conditioning service When Linda’s air conditioner quit working, it was 90 degrees outside and she was expecting house guests. “I was sure their visit would be miserable for them, as well as for my family,” she says. “I figured it would take several days to get it repaired.” But when Linda called Cool Air USA, the company sent a trained, certified technician out immediately. “The problem was fixed within hours,” she recalls. “The technician was friendly and courteous, and I could tell he was extremely knowledgeable. My guests kept cool during their visit, and we all were happy.” Gary was tired of his high summer electric bills. He also realized that his 15-year-old air conditioner wasn’t cooling as well as it once did. So Gary called Cool Air USA and asked about installing a new, high efficiency unit. “The technician told me exactly what size unit that would be best for my home and informed me about different options,” he says. “After I decided to go ahead, they installed my new air conditioner quickly and professionally. They also cleaned up after themselves so well I couldn’t even tell they’d been there. My new air conditioner does a great job of cooling, and because it’s super efficient, my FPL bills have dropped significantly.” Linda and Gary are typical of Cool Air USA customers. The A+-rated company based in Dania Beach can provide for all of your air conditioning needs quickly and efficiently. With more than 18 years in business, Cool Air USA prides itself on offering the latest, most technologically advanced equipment, as well as top quality customer service. Both installations of new units and repairs of existing ones are done by highly trained, certified technicians. PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION New air conditioning units are far more efficient than older models. They save energy so a homeowner can feel good about making a positive impact on the environment, and they can also significantly lower a homeowner’s electric bills. “Air conditioning ac-

tinues. “This is especially dangerous because many people allow their dryers to operate while they are away from home.” A professional vent cleaning will solve the problem. “It is a hazard that people often don’t think about,” Aviv says. “But it is easy to let us take care of things before there is a problem.”

Ducts that are not cleaned regularly can harbor dust, dirt, pollen, moisture, bacteria, and other pollutants that may increase the risk of asthma and allergy attacks, bronchitis, and eye irritation. counts for a large portion of most homeowners’ electric bills during the summer months,” says Edan Aviv, who operates Cool Air USA with partners Gil Nagar and Lior Poyastro. “A new, more efficient unit can also make a difference in comfort level because it cools more efficiently. Rebates and tax incentives may even help defray the initial cost of the unit.” WHAT’S LURKING IN THE DUCTS? Even an older air conditioner can be made more efficient and safe with regular maintenance. Cool Air USA technicians are experts at cleaning the ducts, a process that can greatly reduce indoor air pollution, as well as make the unit cool more efficiently. “Too many people neglect their air conditioners because the problems aren’t visible,” Nagar says. “You may not notice that your unit isn’t cooling as efficiently as it was before because the decline happens gradually. And you also may not be aware that dirty air conditioner ducts can actually harm the quality of the air in your home.” Ducts that are not cleaned regularly can harbor dust, dirt, pollen, moisture, bacteria, and other pollutants that may increase the risk of asthma and allergy attacks, bronchitis, and eye irritation. To take care of the problem, Cool Air USA carefully vacuums the ducts using a turbojet-powered machine that gets rid of any foreign substances lurking there. Then the supply vents are sealed to keep the ducts in pristine condition for as long as possible. “Once the duct system is professionally cleaned, it should stay that way

for three to seven years,” Nagar says. DRYER VENT CLEANING Dryer vent cleaning is another service offered by Cool Air USA. “Many homeowners don’t realize that the vents in their clothes dryers can create fire risk,” Poyastro says. While the filter captures some of the lint that is created when you dry your clothes, it doesn’t get all of it. “If the remaining lint builds up and comes

into contact with the dryer’s heating ele-

ment, it can start to burn,” Povastro con-

LAFFING MATTERZ

ormance about growing up as the son of a former Catholic Nun mother and a father who was a Franciscan Brother, beautifully described as dynamic and captivating. When John reached the age of six, he accidently came across some odd family photos in which his mother appeared wearing a Nuns habit. Although his mother and father first met when his father became very ill and was taken to a hospital where a nurse in a nun’s habit was in charge. From that meeting, Brother Jack Boniface fell madly in love with his nurse, but for the next ten years he stayed in touch, but kept his secret from everyone. Eventually their love for each other grew stronger breaking their religious commitments and finally becoming husband and wife, living happily ever after. In addition to appearing as a daily comedian on CNN’s Starting Point with Soledad O’Brien, Fugelsang is a favorite of FOX News, MSNBC and current TV. He has created a large following from his guest appearances as a headliner alongside Hal Sparks on The Stephanie Miller Show.

Budget workshop set for May 23 Hallandale Beach residents and business owners will have one more opportunity for input into the proposed fiscal 2013 budget at the final Budget Awareness Town Hall Meeting at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, May 23, in the City Commission Chambers. City Manager Mark Antonio and his staff will evaluate comments and suggestions collected at the meeting before presenting the final draft of the budget to the Mayor and City Commission for former hearings later this summer. The meeting is the fifth in a series of Budget Awareness Town Hall Meetings to collect your comments and suggestions during the budgetary draft process. Comments and funding suggestions from the first four meetings, held in February, have been evaluated for incorporation into the proposed fiscal 2013 budget. The first meetings were held in the four quadrants to make the sessions more accessible to residents. Residents and business owners are urged to take an active role in the budget process. The City’s business approach to budgeting relies on resident and business-owner comments to create the budget around the desires and needs of the community. The business model requires funding requests meet at least one of four strategic priorities: livable community, excellence in government, environmental sustainability or economic development. Once completed, the proposed fiscal 2013 budget will be reviewed and refined by the Mayor and City Commission during meetings in August and September prior to its adoption.

The body can become accustomed to nonmoving (or static) magnetic fields, which are generally unable to deeply penetrate the body. A pulsed electromagnetic field, however, is quite dynamic, is able to penetrate all the way through the body, and creates a cascade of effects within the body. The MAP PEMF Therapy uses moving magnets creating an energy wave which changes the way your body copes with

pain. The electrical magnets affect the nerve cells which are electrical cells and the magnetic fields affect how the nerves fire and quiet them down without using drugs increasing circulation in the area and aid the healing. Inside the MAP there are electrical coils, and when electricity passes through there it creates a magnetic field that moves through the body whispering at 75 trillion cells in your body going deep into your body where

sports creams and heating pads could never reach such as your spine. The magnetic field turns on activating ions and charged particles bringing in nutrients influencing things like blood cell supply opening up blood cells. You don’t just feel better you are better. The cost is far less than surgery, and patients avoid the long recovery times and possible side effects associated with surgery.

We are introducing the REVOLUTIONARY DEVICE and REVOLUTIONARY TREATMENT for treating Type 1 and Type 2 DIABETES by utilizing Spin-Magnet Therapy to get you off insulin and medication. The magnetic energy produced by the device, stimulates the pancreas and improves the reproduction of the pancreatic cells, so that the pancreas can reach a normal level of insulin secretion. We offer you a revolutionary device for the treatment of diabetes, without using any medicines. * For diabetes type 1, the patients gradually stop the insulin injection. * For diabetes type 2, you stop taking the oral medicines. Avoid organic lesions of the liver and kidneys. * Helps the patients diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy.

PATIENT TESTIMONIALS I would like you to know how thrilled I am with PEMF. I have been using it for about a year for a variety of things, including migraines, joint & muscle soreness and to accelerate healing. It is incredibly effective, especially in averting a migraine. Vicki Clough Michigan, USA We really enjoy the PEMF. My wife's back is significantly better. I have also seen improvement in my asthma. J. Parker, TX, USA I am 69 years old and have osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis. I have used PEMF for osteoporosis for 6 months. I was having continual pain in my neck and shoulders before I started PEMF and lost 1 and half inches in height in my upper spine and had developed a dowager's hump over the last three years. After about 5 weeks of use, the pain in my upper neck is gone, my neck and shoulders are stronger and I have not had any further curvature of the upper back and neck due to osteoporosis since I began the use of the PEMF. I also use the PEMF for pain if I have an arthritis flare. I went nearly 5 months pain-free, which is unusual for me. Due to stress, I had an episode with my left hip this week but I have been able to continue going about my daily activities with muscle relaxants and mild pain medication. During the previous hip episode before I started using the PEMF, I was unable to walk for 4 or 5 days, even with the medication and required 6 weeks of physical therapy where I first had EMP therapy. From my personal experience, I would recommend the PEMF to anyone with pain from any type of arthritis. Ikey Newman, Yukon OK It is amazing to see the results of your wonderful PEMF device. Patients are very happy with their recovery and the results are simply superb and most encouraging. Dr. CP Prabhakaran, Chennai, India I have used the PEMF for ten months now for hip pain associated with avascular necrosis. It is very effective and controls the pain associated with

avascular necrosis. It is very effective and controls the pain to the extent that I have full range of motion and can walk normally with no pain. I am very glad I got it and recommend it highly. Brian Devon, Anaconda, MT, USA PEMF therapy is an essential part of modern management for osteoarthritis and I have treated many patients with full satisfaction. Dr. Bijan Kaviani, Vancouver BC, Canada We are successfully using PEMF units in our Pain Clinic for over 4 years. We found it to be especially good when treating persons with osteoarthritis and after 18 sessions 85% of our patients were remarkably improved. 70-100% of the patients are pain free and stay that way for close to a year after which they return for another series of treatments. After 18 sets of treatments they then only need to come in for the occasional session. We would highly recommend the use of PEMF therapy using the PEMF PC unit for anyone suffering from osteoarthritis. Sheila Hatfield, BC Canada I have been using the PEMF for some 19 months now and have now been able to reduce my medications. I use the PEMF daily for various problems associated with my spinal cord injury and continue to find the results remarkable. I have also recommended a friend to treat the foot, which had become crippled from a 30 year old fracture, after a horse stood on it. In just 3 months the foot is much straighter and the large bulge is much reduced leaving us all amazed. With much appreciation. Susan Bennett-G, Australia We love your system. I suffer from chronic upper back problems due to working all day reading and on the computer. I almost feel normal now! My mom suffers from pain in the wrists and the pain is now gone.

MOUNT SINAI MEDICAL CENTER Recognizes 24 outstanding nurses and five nursing scholarship recipients MIAMI BEACH Nurses at Mount Sinai have many roles and responsibilities. From medical/surgical nurses to nurse educators, nurse practitioners and nurse researchers, they all go about their jobs with passion for the profession and a commitment to patient safety. Each year, Mount Sinai joins the nation in celebrating National Nurses Week in honor of these dedicated individuals, who represent the largest group of professionals in healthcare. National Nurses Week begins each year on May 6, also known as National Nurses Day, and continues through May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern

As part of the Nurses Week festivities, Mount Sinai recognized 24 outstanding nurses during an awards program on Wednesday, May 9, in the hospi-

Panic Disorder can be successfully treated Q… What is effective for treating Panic Disorder? A… Panic Disorder is a particularly painful condition marked by uncomfortable sympathetic nervous system responses. We all have what is called a “fight or flee” mechanism that originates in a part of our brain called the hypothalamus. This mechanism is triggered when encountering a real danger or threat, and stimulates our body’s ability to either fight or flee from the threat. But in panic disorder a false alarm is triggered. The results are a variety of unpleasant bodily reactions, which may include excessive sweating, heart palpitations, high blood pressure, headache, dissociation, dizziness, and other uncomfortable bodily sensations. People experiencing their first attacks will often check themselves into hospital emergency rooms, fearful they are having a heart attack or are losing their minds. Most often neither is occurring. In some severe cases a panic sufferer may become “agoraphobic (fearful of leaving home, and entering public places). Both medication, and psychotherapy report success in treating panic disorder. SSRI anti-depressant drugs such as prozac, zoloft & paxil are frequently prescribed for this condition, but from my observation often fall short of satisfactory symptom relief. A class of drugs known as benzodiazepines, (such as xanax, ativan, valium and klonapine), are much more immediately effective, and can serve as a great relief to the panic sufferer, but if taken over prolonged periods of time, these drugs can lead to drug-tolerance and addiction. When attempting discontinuation, withdrawal may be nasty and prolonged. Consult a medical doctor. It is the behavioral & cognitive psychotherapies, many studies indicate, that lead to long-term elimination of symptoms. Psycho-therapeutic approaches include relaxation exercises, minimizing an attack right from the onset, challenging irrational, negative, catastrophic thinking, & actual exposure to the setting that may provoke an attack. Perceptual reconstruction is often the key for beating panic disorder. For example, sensations elicited by a roller coaster ride are perceived as enjoyable, but these sensations are very similar to the symptoms expressed in a panic attack. In the former condition the mind perceives the sensations as fun, in the latter, a horror to be avoided. Perception often makes the difference. If it brings you any comfort or relief, know that panic disorder is often successfully treated. Seek professional help with someone experienced in this disorder. Don’t expect miracles overnight, but rather focus on slow, but steady gains. Don’t let set-backs get you down. They are just part of the road to recovery. Dr. Ron

INSIDE: SUMMER EATING • JUICING


Page 2D South Florida Sun-Times/Thursday, May 17, 2012

– 954-458-0635 – sfsuntimes@aol.com – www.southfloridasun.net

Set the scene - and the table - for a perfect summer party (ARA) - Simply put, summer is entertaining season. Patio parties come together at the last minute and longplanned events fill up the calendar months in advance. But no matter whether you're having an impromptu gathering or an invitation-only celebration, focusing on the flavors and sensory delights of summer will make your party a success, without demanding too much of your time. The heart of any party is the food and drinks you serve. Summer offers hosts an array of delicious options unlike any other season when else can you find as much variety and such good quality, often right from the farm? Let that spirit of simplicity guide your approach to putting together a meal, and you'll find that easy-to-prepare recipes can be real crowdpleasers. With a trip to the farmers market and a stop at the grocery store, you can get inspiration, as well as all the ingredients you'll need. As you shop, consider what's in season, and when buying things that are available all year like cheese and meats,

look for sustainable options that focus on quality, sustainability and letting natural, unadorned flavors shine through. Grass-fed beef steaks and handcrafted Salemville Amish blue cheeses are two simple ingredients that, when combined, make a show-stopping centerpiece. Add grilled vegetables adorned with herbs and a seasonal salad with a creamy dressing for a perfectly balanced plate that's easy to put together and focuses on what's in season. For drinks and desserts, turn your attention to fruits that are ripening at the moment, which provide maximum flavor with minimum effort. Lemonade with mint and blueberries is a refreshing thirst-quencher for the height of summer, and grilled peaches make a great stand-alone dessert. While it's hard to predict the weather for a pre-planned party, for spur-of-the-moment gatherings, make the most of the weather by choosing a scenic location. Your yard can be the perfect backdrop, but you can also pack up the ingredients and

(including green tops), thinly sliced 1/4 cup Salemville Amish Blue or Salemville Smokehaus Blue cheese, crumbled 1/2 clove garlic, pressed 1/4 teaspoon basil 1/4 teaspoon rosemary, crushed Dash salt, to taste

Grass-fed beef steaks and handcrafted Salemville Amish blue cheeses are two simple ingredients that, when combined, make a show-stopping centerpiece. head to a local park and enjoy the natural setting as well as a glowing sunset. To keep your home's outdoor spaces partyready, don't underestimate the power of container gardening. Pots overflowing with bright flowers and fun foliage soften the space and make it feel naturally festive without having to decorate. Use pots of different heights for a staggered effect and a variety of plants but keep in mind that establishing a theme, whether it's chartreuse and pink or emerald green and orange, can make the look more cohesive.

Enjoying summer is as easy as stepping outside and setting your table with the fresh foods of the season. Try these recipes for your salad and steak courses and you'll be preparing fuss-free dishes that perfectly capture the essence of good entertaining. For more recipes and grilling tips, visit www.salemville.com. SUMMER SALAD WITH BLUE CHEESE DRESSING Dressing: 1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt 1/4 cup skim milk 1/2 cup green onions

pears, walnuts, red onion and/or tomatoes, if desired. Makes four servings. STEAK WITH GORGONZOLA THYME CRUST 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 2 beef tenderloin or small rib eye steaks (about 6 ounces each), cut 3/4-inch thick 1 large or 2 small cloves garlic, minced 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped, or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 1/2 cup Salemville Amish Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled

Salad: 1 large head iceberg lettuce 6 slices thick-cut bacon 1 cup Salemville Amish Blue or Salemville Smokehaus Blue cheese, crumbled Black pepper, to taste Chopped pears, walnuts, red onion and/or tomatoes, to taste

Preheat grill. Spoon Worcestershire sauce over both sides of the steaks and let stand five minutes. Sprinkle garlic and pepper over steaks. Place steaks on the grill. Grill 3 to 4 inches from heat source three to four minutes per side for medium rare steak. Remove steaks. Sprinkle thyme, then cheese over steaks. Return to the grill, cheese side up, and grill two minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

In small bowl, stir together yogurt and milk. Mix in onions, cheese, garlic, herbs and salt. Cover and chill 30 minutes or more to blend flavors. Cook bacon until crisp and crumble into large pieces. Cut lettuce into four to six wedges. Pour blue cheese dressing over the top. Sprinkle bacon over dressing. Add additional crumbled cheese, freshly ground black pepper, chopped
