LESSONS LEARNED Larry Blustein

Every time I travel toward Homestead, I am reminded by what I saw 20 years ago. It was an experience that was tough to comprehend back then - and even tougher to deal with as we head toward Friday. Hurricane Andrew hit South Florida on Aug. 24, 1992, leaving in its wake, destruction and devastation that many generations had never seen before. While it was a defining time in my life, it certainly tuned out to be a life-altering

This photo, which shows the long lines that offered food, water, ice and other daily staples, was what many faced in the days, weeks and months after Hurricane Andrew.

tem that left in its path devastation that many equated to a war zone.

On the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Andrew, advanced technology and preparation have become a priority for residents, business owners Isaac could pose a threat to this region

Like it was on cue - with the anniversary of Hurricane Andrew, Isaac looms in the Caribbean - with a destination that could be in this region. As we continue to watch Isaac's progress over the next few days, the lessons learned 20 years ago, will certainly come into play over the next few days. Be safe! Be prepared!

It was back to school this week

Haircuts, backpacks, school supplies, food and plenty of activities drew about 200 youngsters and their parents to the annual City of Hallandale Beach Parks and Recreation Department Back 2 School Bash Friday night at O.B. Johnson Park. Parents had their youngsters lined up for free haircuts to get spruced up for the school year. Area businessmen donated many of the supplies to help Hallandale Beach students prepared for school. The annual event included dancing, singing, games and plenty of food. For more, see Page 4B.

‘AROUND THE CITY OF CHOICE’

On Monday, Fire Rescue personnel organized a day long test for over 200 lifeguard applicants that want to work for the city

HALLANDALE BEACH - Last week I shared a snap shot of the 2012-2013 annual budgets. The City Commission recommended budget includes the addition of Staff positions for the first time in four years since we enacted a hiring moratorium. The positions are being created to increase the level of service in Department of Public Works and Parks. The level of service is also tied to new programs that address the concerns of our residents. The City Commission has already approved the inhouse life guard service for both our pool and beach facilities. The City Fire Department, under the leadership of Chief Dan Sullivan, has been tasked with implementing the Beach Lifeguard Services. On Monday Fire Rescue personnel organized a day long test for over 200 applicants that want to work for our city. The city will hire a beach supervisor, six full-time lifeguards and six part-time lifeguards for the beach. The new service will cover the entire beach from city line to city line and not only will the guards be certified under ocean rescue standards, but they will all have EMS certifications. The Parks Department is implementing the municipal pool lifeguard service. They are now accepting applications. The pool program will require Red Cross certification. They will be hiring an aquatic supervisor, three part-time lifeguards for year-round protection at the municipal pool and six additional part-time lifeguards for seasonal coverage at the pool. The transition of the services will take place without any interruption of services to our facilities. The other Park program that is new is our Marina. The marina will be monitored by a Marina Assistant/Dock master. We have created a Marina Enterprise Fund for $78,545 to cover the costs to hire 3 part time employees to make sure the area is maintained and assist with the pump out system and docks. This service will be provided for $15 dollar rate per linear foot that includes electric. All revenues generated from the rentals will be utilized to cover the costs. The City projects that this fund will generate enough profit to cover the cost. To supplement additional parks and park programs we have incorporated 6 part time Staff employees for our Parks. The City will be opening up a new Teen Center at OB Johnson Park and opening the new Fos-

Mayor Joy Cooper

ter Park Center that will house our younger preschool and after school activates. In DPW we will be rolling out “Clean City Services”. For the past years, the biggest complaints that have come to me were concerns about making sure our city was maintained and clean. With budget cuts and position freezes maintenance was one of the concerns that came up on our city survey. In 2005, we had 482.4 full time equivalent positions. This is a combination of all full and part time positions. Currently we are at 448.92. This budget we will be adding 8.5 FTE in DPW. Six positions that were budgeted may be broken out as a contracted service for median maintainence. Staff is going though an RFP process to see if the same level or greater level of service can be provided. The other employees will be utilized to patrol the city and provide spot clean ups, sidewalk cleaning, graffiti clean ups and be able to report safety and code situations to proper personnel in the City. There are two part time permit clerk posi-

tions allocated for Development Services and two part time building inspectors. The goal will be to fill in levels during peak times. The City is also adding a Safety Inspector. This person will be responsible for the performance of annual fire inspections that are required as part of out annual business license renewals. City Manager Crichton is working to fill the positions of Development Services and Director Building Official. The department generates revenues from permit fees that offset and supplement the expense of employees. As in any business, personnel are one of the largest expenses and at the same time the greatest asset. We have worked side by side with our General Employees to address long term personnel costs. The result of hard negotiations has provided the flexibility to preserve and create jobs. New hires will have a defined contribution pension rather the defined benefit plan. Pension contributions are made at a set amount through negotiations. In a DC plan the contributions made by the employer and employee are combined and placed in a fund. This is similar to a 401K. The employee retires and the money is there for them to utilize. If the money loses or gains interest, the risk is on the employee and not the City. In a DB Plan the City must guarantee a monthly payment to employees no matter what the return results

Captain Sig Hansen to be at Seminole Casino on Saturday

HOLLYWOOD - Reel-in a Rare Opportunity to Meet Captain Sig Hansen from the Discovery Channel’s Hit Reality TV Series Deadliest Catch for Free on Saturday, Aug. 25 from 6 – 10 p.m.; Group passes are required to meet Captain Sig Hansen and will be available starting at 5 p.m. at the Player’s Club.at Seminole Casino Hollywood. Players, fishing fans and followers of reality TV will have a rare opportunity to meet and greet Captain Sig Hansen of Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch. Fans will have a chance to take a photo with Hansen and receive an autographed picture for free! The son of a Norwegian fisherman, Hansen began fishing at age 14. His father came from a long line of fishermen and was one of the first to develop the King Crab industry in Alaska. While still in high school, Sig served as a deckhand on a salmon gillnetter and joined his father aboard the family boat Northwestern which worked the crab fisheries in Alaskan waters. After high school, Hansen took up fishing full time every year in Alaska. At 22, he was enough of a veteran to serve as a relief captain on the Northwestern. Four years later, he became the boat's full-time captain and one of the youngest ever to take command. Hansen is a hard-driving captain who can push himself and his crew to work grueling hours under extreme conditions. Under that tough exterior, however, lies a fatherly and compassionate man who puts a premium on family responsibility. For nearly two decades, Hansen has seen to it that the Northwestern is one of the Alaskan crab industry's top producers. Hansen considers this performance essential, but he'll tell you that a greater accomplishment by far is the lack of any major accidents onboard the Northwestern. Deadliest Catch, the show that chronicles the real-life perilous adventures of five Alaskan King Crabbing boats in the Bering Sea, recently celebrated its 100th episode. Seminole Casino Hollywood is located at 4150 North State Road 7 (U.S. Highway 441) - Just south of Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, in Hollywood on Stirling Road. For more information, call 954-961-3220 or 1-866-2-CASINO.

THE GOLDENS AND CONDO KINGS UNITE FOR SOUTH FLORIDA REAL ESTATE MARKET REVIVAL

The Golden’s closed their business and were left wondering how they were going to weather the storm. They, like many of their former clients, had a business, a home, children to feed and clothe. Jobs in the South Florida Real Estate Market were few and far between. Fortunately, like all the other times, the real estate market started turning around again.

Golden

From Page 1A –––––––––––––––––––– know how it not only affected the economy but also how it left homeowners under water with home values plummeting. Homeowners and investors were in trouble. Many real estate businesses closed their doors. The Golden’s closed their business and were left wondering how they were going to weather the storm. They, like many of their former clients, had a business, a home, children to feed and clothe. Jobs in the South Florida Real Estate Market were few and far between. Fortunately, like all the other times, the real estate market started turning around again. The Golden’s found a perfect fit having come on board with the “Condo Kings” Craig Studnicky and Phil Spiegelman, the partners behind International Sales Group. The future is great. Deborah Golden is now the Managing Director of Sales & Operations of Related ISG International Realty and her husband Ken Golden is Director of Sales and Broker Development. Ken is in charge of the New York Office and travels there to engage the New York brokerage community.

Related ISG provides sales and marketing services for developers of high-end condominiums in South Florida. By working with the developers they are in at the planning stages and follow the projects through completion. Related ISG International Realty, the general realty arm of ISG World offers Concierge Services, everything from getting the utilities turned on, to decorating and design and any other real estate needs. They are a fullservice 5 Star Realty Company with a team that works together including their own inhouse marketing department. Their reputation is known worldwide for the thoroughness of their services and the quickness of their sales. For instance, the Apogee Beach Condo Tower project by Developer Jorge Perez on Hollywood Beach, is a highrise consisting of 49 units on 22 floors to be completed August 2013. Sales were offered in May of 2011 and as of now there are 4 left to be sold. Other successful sellouts for ISG have been the Hamptons South, Pennisula, LaPerla, Pinnacle, Hidden Bay, Aventura Marina to name a few. That’s incredible considering how slow the condo

market has been. It’s definitely on the upswing. In fact the Miami Herald Business Monday had headlines on August 13, 2012, “South Florida Condo Market Officially Enters Growth Phase.” ISG’s Ninth Quarterly Miami Report published April 30, 2012 gives an indepth analysis of South Florida’s New Developer Condominium Inventory and has encouraging news about Miami’s Shadow Inventory. According to third party reports and information obtained, as of May 2005, 62,000 condo units were proposed to be built in Downtown Miami and Brickell. In reality, only 17,502 units were built and finished, and now there are only 1,337 units left. The market has turned from a buyer’s market to a seller’s market. Related ISG International Realty has four local offices, one in Aventura in the City National Bank Building, two in South Beach South of 5th, and one on Brickell with several more opening in South Florida and New York. Fueling the growth in South Florida real estate are the international buyers. Brazilians top the list. For that reason ISG has a Brazilian office as well as others in South America, Canada and Asia. Along with hope for the local real estate market, the up-turn means many South Florida realtors can get back to business. That’s what Ken and Deborah Golden have done. Ken pointed out that Related ISG International Realty is aggressively recruiting local realtors to join them. So, if you are a realtor and want to join

up with a successful and thriving company, you should give Related ISG International Realty a call. They are willing to discuss the future as they see it. Not only do they have Developer inventory to sell, they also have a tremendous amount of inventory in the re-sale market. Ken Golden is so excited about the South Florida real estate turna-round; he has collaborated with a New York

filmmaker to produce a new show, “Selling Miami, Golden Style.” It’s really well-done. You can view the sizzle reel on YouTube.com. The show is being considered by HGTV and

Bravo. It’s good to see the South Florida real estate market turning around, home values rising and the inventory of homes decreasing. This turn-a-round will help the overall economy flourish again. That brings hope to this area and to Deborah and Ken Golden.

Chaminade-Madonna welcomes Chinese students as part of new International Student Program

HOLLYWOOD - In partnership with The Cambridge Institute of International Education, Chaminade-Madonna College Preparatory welcomed five international students from the People's Republic of China to the high school’s community this past week. The international students are part of the inaugural class of the school’s International Student Program, which Chaminade-Madonna established for the 2012-2013 school year. “Our International Student Program complements our school's Mission of fostering a family-like community comprised of individuals from diverse backgrounds, ethnicities and cultures. In addition, the program offers our international students an opportunity to receive a quality, Catholic education in the United States, opening up immense possibilities for their futures,” stated Chaminade-Madonna President Rev. Larry Doersching, S.M., D.Min. The program relies on members of the Chaminade-Madonna community to serve as host families for the international students. Host families have the opportunity to learn about the Chinese language and culture and develop an international friendship with a Chinese family while providing a nurturing home environment for the international students. Chaminade-Madonna treated their five new international students to a taste of the South Florida community and culture as part of an orientation week designed to welcome the students to the United States and their new homes. Activities included a trip to Hollywood Beach, Pembroke Lakes Mall and Dave & Buster’s. “The school year is just beginning and already our international students are becoming an integral part of our school community with interests in athletics, arts, and challenging themselves academically,” said Chaminade-Madonna President Rev. Larry Doersching, S.M., D.Min.

One size doesn't fit all life insurance needs

(ARA) - Life is full of phases and milestones, and each one could change your life insurance needs. Whether you’re starting a new job or retiring, single or just married, deployed by the military or leaving the service, buying a home or having a baby, each transition in your unique circumstances merits a financial re-examination. “The right amount of life insurance will change as your life changes,” says June Walbert, a certified financial planner practitioner at USAA. Starting out single. If you’re single without kids, you may not need life insurance, but there are two reasons why you may want to buy some anyway: * Insurability. Life insurance is something you have to qualify for - based on your health, medical history and other factors. “Buying coverage when you’re healthy reduces the risk of being rejected later when your needs are greater,” Walbert says. * Price. Since age is a big life insurance pricing factor, people in their 20s have the opportunity to lock in a premium that’s much lower than it will be later in life especially when buying whole life insurance, which offers lifetime coverage and a premium that’s guaranteed not to rise. * Newlywed. At this stage, the right amount of life insur-

Consider buying enough to pay off your mortgage, car loans, student loans, credit cards and whatever else you owe. * Parenthood. Without proper protection, the death of a parent can have disastrous consequences for children. And skipping life insurance on stay-athome parents is risky because replacing their services can be expensive. “It’s hard to think of anything that sparks the urgent need for life insurance as much as having a child,” Walbert says. Home purchases. New homeowners get plenty of offers to buy accidental death insurance that would pay off their mortgages, but it may be wiser to buy life insurance - which covers deaths that aren’t accidental, too. Divorce. Where alimony or child support is involved, it’s important to insure

the person who’s responsible for making those payments. For greater confidence that the policy will stay in force, the spouse who is receiving support should be named the policy’s owner. Military separation. While you’re serving, Servicemembers Group Life Insurance (SGLI) is a good value. However, it stops 120 days after you leave the military, unless you swap it for a more expensive government option. If you’re in good health, look for a better deal on an individual policy. Deployment. Deploying doesn’t increase your need for life insurance - the financial consequences of dying are the same regardless of the cause. That said, deployment is an event that should prompt a fresh analysis of your coverage. Retirement. As you enter retirement, consider keeping life insurance for final expenses, gifts and

bequests, and to manage inheritance and estate taxes. “Life is ever-changing,” Walbert says, “and when those changes are big, it’s time to review your life insurance to make sure it keeps pace with your life.

From Santana’s earliest days as a ground-breaking Afro-Latin-blues- rock outfit in San Francisco, Santana has been the visionary force behind artistry that comes from musical genres and generations of cultural and geographical boundaries. “Shape Shifter, 2012,” is Santana’s latest album featuring a 13-song instrumental tour de force. One song features vocals by Santana’s lead vocalists Andy Vargas and Tony Lindsay. The album also features: Chester Thompson on keyboards, Dennis Chambers on drums, Benny Rietveld on bass, Salvador Santana on keyboards, Raul Rekow on congas and Karl Perazzo on percussion. Santana has sold more than 90 million records and reached over 100 million fans at concerts around the globe. To date, Santana has won ten Grammy Awards and two Latin Grammy’s for Album of the Year and Record of the Year for “Smooth.” In 1998 the group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Most recently, Carlos received the Billboard Latin Music Awards 2009 Lifetime Achievement honor. His foundation, established by his family, has granted more than $5,000,000 to programs supporting underprivileged children in the arts, education and health. Santana will take center stage at Hard Rock Live on August 24 and 25, 2012, at 8 p.m. Tickets are $69.50 to $169.50 available at the box office, in person, located on State Road 7 (US 441) in Hollywood.

HOLLYWOOD - On Friday, Sept. 7 from 6 to 9 p.m., the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood will host an opening reception for three exhibitions Justin H. Long: Bow Movement, Alex Trimino: Luminous, and Lori Nozick: Walkabout. These exhibitions continue through Sunday, Oct. 21 at the Center, located at 1650 Harrison St. Gallery hours are Tuesday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday, 12 to 4 p.m. In his new site-specific exhibition, Miami-based artist Justin H. Long explores his passion for the ocean and sailboat

racing with a mixedmedia installation that includes a massive sailboat hull. With a subversive whimsy that is at the core of his work, Long breaks new ground in his first Broward County exhibition by claiming sailing as an art medium, not only a sport. The centerpiece of the exhibition is an approximately 60foot-long hull that will be elevated from the gallery floor. This singular work, which resembles the skeleton of a whale, is augmented by large paintings depicting important events in sailing history. Long also incorporates a series of

Winn-Dixie launches annual vaccination program

To encourage people to protect their health, Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc., kicked off its “Shield Yourself” flu vaccination campaign today, offering three different options of this year’s influenza vaccine to help shield guests from the flu. Guests at any of the grocer’s instore pharmacies can choose from the standard vaccination, a high dose vaccine recommended for those 65 and older, or an Intradermal flu vaccination administered with a microneedle that is 90 percent smaller than traditional needles. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a yearly vaccination provides the best protection throughout flu season. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body and provide protection against influenza virus infection. That’s why it’s better to get vaccinated as soon as the vaccine is available, before the flu season really gets under way. “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that all people age six months and older should be vaccinated against the flu as soon as the vaccine becomes available,” said John Fegan, vice president of pharmacy for Winn-Dixie. “We have the flu vaccine now and offer guests quick and easy options to receive it while they do their grocery shopping. With the start of school, now is the perfect time to shield your health with a flu shot.”

Guests can secure a flu shot in any Winn-Dixie in-store pharmacy on a walk-in basis or can schedule an appointment online at www.winndixie.com/pharmacy. Winn-Dixie guests that enroll in Winn-Dixie’s Prescription Drug Plan will pay a discounted rate off the vaccination as follows: • Regular flu vaccination – $24.99 • Intradermal vaccination – $29.99 • Fluzone High Dose vaccination – $44.99 The flu vaccinations are covered by most insurance plans including Tri-Care and Medicare. There is no out of pocket expense for guests with Medicare Part B coverage. Additionally, Fegan noted that Winn-Dixie pharmacists recommend washing your hands frequently; wiping down telephones, remote controls, and door knobs with disinfectant; and keeping tissues handy to stop the spread of viruses. Guests receiving a flu vaccination will also receive a coupon book worth an additional $15 in savings on these health and wellness products, while supplies last.

videos that capture him racing solo in a sailboat in preparation for future races, as well as maps and artifacts that highlight significant journeys and sailboat lore. Alex Trimino’s exhibition consists of illuminated totem poles that are covered in crochet, knitting, and found objects. In employing such items, the Miami-based artist reveals similarities between modern, hightech materials (microcontrolled neon lights) and colloquial, low-tech crafts (crochet, knitting and weaving). The works create equilibrium between traditions, technologies, and generations. Old methods and new technologies commingle in ways that explore our connection to today’s reality. Lori Nozick’s site-specific installation focuses on the concept of a passage, a journey through the wilderness. The Miami resident presents life as a walkabout in which we continually explore the unknown in order to discover one’s self in relationship to the universe. General admission to the Center’s galleries are $7 for adults; $4 for students, seniors, and children ages 4 to 17;

The Art and Culture Center of Hollywood presents contemporary gallery exhibitions, live stage performances and high-quality education programs for adults and

children. The Center fosters a creative environment where new and challenging work can flourish through programs that reflect the highest standards of artistry and diversity.

LIFEGUARD TESTING

The City is grading the lifeguard candidates to rank them based on the basic skills tests and times

They came from California and New Jersey, South Florida and Chicago, more than 130 lifeguard candidates descended on Hallandale Beach Monday vying for 12 positions as full-time and part-time lifeguards, and one position as the beach aquatics supervisor. Hallandale Beach invited 209 candidates out of more than 350 applicants to test for the positions. These candidates met minimum standards and were afforded the opportunity to demonstrate their skills in a timed test. The invitations were tendered last Thursday, and many were unable to make the short turnaround for the testing. Of the 209 invitations to beach lifeguards candidates, 135 were tested. While the majority of applicants were from South Florida, a handful flew in from the San Diego area, New Jersey, New York and Chicago. Lifeguards with the United States Lifesaving Association (USLA) volunteered their time Monday to test the candidates on three tests: a 500-meter swim; 200meter run ending with a 50-meter swim to rescue a person in distress, and a basic CPR test. Two of the tests were timed events; candidates had 10 minutes to complete the 500-meter swim and five minutes to complete the rescue. “They take a lot of pride in their organization,” said Hallandale Beach Fire Department Training Chief Jack Ryan of the USLA members. “They have bent over backwards to help us.” USLA lifeguards with Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Miami-Dade County and Palm Beach County donated their time to help with the testing. Chief Ryan said numerous applicants are members of the USLA and work at other beaches as part-time or on-call lifeguards. The City is grading the lifeguard candidates to rank them based on the basic skills tests and times. Once the list is completed, candidates will be invited for interviews and required to submit to background checks, drug screening and a physical examination. Monday’s test was for beach lifeguards only. The City will be interviewing swimming pool lifeguard candidates at a later date. The City plans to begin training the new beach and Municipal Swimming Pool lifeguards on Monday, Sept. 17. The new lifeguards will begin work protecting residents and visitors on Monday, Oct. 1. The lifeguards will replace contracted lifeguards with Jeff Ellis Management. The City’s contract with Jeff Ellis management expires at midnight, Sunday, Sept. 30.

Back to school for Hallandale Beach students

About 200 youngsters and their parents turned out for the annual City of Hallandale Beach Parks and Recreation Department Back 2 School Bash at O.B. Johnson Park. Inclement weather forced the gathering into the O.B. Johnson gymnasium. Backpacks and school supplies were handed out to youngsters for the 2012-13 school year. In on the presentation are, back row from left, Germaine Peters, Mayor Joy Cooper, and Gary McDonald, with 7-year-old twins, Malachi, left, and Malaika Mentor. Hallandale Beach businessmen Mr. Peters and Mr. McDonald donated many of the backpack for the youngsters. (Photo courtesy City of Hallandale Beach Public Relations)

Lifeguard candidates cover the 200 meters from South City Beach to North City Beach before diving into the Atlantic to rescue a swimmer in distress during Lifeguard testing Monday in Hallandale Beach. Members of the United States Lifesaving Association conducted the tests and posed as drowning victims during the rescue portion of the test. Hallandale Beach invited 209 Lifeguard applicants to take the test; 135 completed the skills exam. The City will hire six full-time and six part-time beach Lifeguards and a beach supervisor. Qualified applicants for new Lifeguard positions at the City’s Municipal Swimming Pool will be evaluated at a later date. (Photo courtesy City of Hallandale Beach Public Relations).

The Muslim Community reaches out

Young volunteers from the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community of Hallandale Beach spent a day helping seniors at the Austin Hepburn Center recently as part of their celebration of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. About a dozen volunteers brought food, and donated time and service to give back to the community. Bridging the gap between the younger generation and seniors are, from left, Fatima Minhas, Amparo Llomo, Rabea Chaudhry, Mirta Alvarez and Dolores Abad. There are about 300 members in the Miami district that attend the Hallandale Beach mosque; many devote time each month to support programs at the Hepburn Center. Hepburn Center seniors program officials said the support provided by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and other community groups is essential to meeting the needs of the senior residents.

TURN HEALTH INTO WEALTH

Five ways to take charge of your health and increase your bottom line

One of the best ways to make health care more affordable is to avoid the need for medical care in the first place. More than 75 percent of health care costs are attributed to chronic illness, most of which are controllable, if not preventable. For those, here are five ways to save on health care spending so you have more money to enjoy life.

Know your numbers It is important that you know your optimal range for health markers such as blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose. Knowing your health scores allows you to take steps to lessen your risk of chronic and costly diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Not only are such diseases a burden to national health spending, they also make a major impact on personal spending. For instance, people

with type 2 diabetes that can be controlled through diet and exercise spend about $2,000 a year. When it isn't controlled, those costs can escalate dramatically for insulin treatments, or worse, hospitalization. Life Time, The Healthy Way of Life Company has initiated a new program called myHealthScore to bridge the gap between fitness and health care. The program provides testing, available to members and nonmembers, to measure six critical health markers: cholesterol ratio, blood pressure, glucose, triglycerides, nicotine use and body fat ratio. These metabolic markers provide a baseline from which people can set goals, or in some cases detect serious health issues that might otherwise go undetected, even with an annual doctor visit. A Life Time health adviser works with participants to move their score into an optimal range. "Results from myHealthScore give someone an inside-out view of their health," says Tom

thousands spent on taking off that extra weight later or obesity-related medical expenses.

Manella, vice president of Personal Training at Life Time. Invest in prevention Get health screenings as advised and prevent illness with vaccines. What you spend on an annual flu shot will more than make up for costs you incur on over the counter medications, doctor's visits, and lost wages if you get sick. Likewise, an annual membership to a fitness center can cost as little as $50 a month, but being inactive and overweight costs significantly more: an additional

$1,152 in medical expenses if you're an obese man and $3,613 more if you're an obese woman, according to a study published in the Journal of Health Economics. Put your money where your mouth is Poor oral health is often a signal of bigger health problems. The same bacteria that causes gum disease has been implicated in other major health problems such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes and premature births, all of which can require ex-

pensive and ongoing care. The American Dental Association recommends brushing twice a day with a toothbrush that is replaced every three to four months and flossing every day, an investment that will cost as little as $15 a year. Stop spending on sugar Your sweet tooth is very, very expensive. Saving anywhere from $5 to $20 a week that you'd normally spend on sugary treats translates into savings of $1,000 a year, not to mention the calories saved, which can save additional

Flaunt your fitness in front of your employer Most health insurers provide incentives for people to take the initiative to get and stay healthy. For example at Allina Health System, one of many companies using Life Time's myHealthCheck program, employees have the potential to earn up to $1,600 in what they call "Be Fit Premium Credits." Many health plans offer a discount for people who make regular visits to a fitness center, too. Ultimately the savings can trickle down to deductible spending. The healthier you are, the less you need to see a doctor, which means out of pocket costs go down. None of us enjoy spending money on health care expenses. Do yourself - and your wallet - a favor and begin to invest in better health. Small steps today can pay big dividends tomorrow.

When your Child casks about Sex, Don’t Hide your Head in the Sand

Dr. Ron.., My 11 year old son is hinting to us about sexual issues he is obviously learning from his friends. We are conservative people who have difficulty talking about these issues. We are also concerned about school programs he may enter soon that offers sex education from a different viewpoint than what we may believe. Should we send him for some counseling with a professional? P.J. Miami… A… Absolutely not…. It is up to you and your husband to get over your hangups, and give your child what he needs…, open and

honest discussions with his parents…. Most parents are not enthusiastic communicators about sexual issues with their children. In fact, it is estimated that less than 20% of parents engage in any meaningful conversation on this topic with their

kids.. So if their kids are not getting direction and information from their parents, where do you suppose most kids are getting their information from?...... You guessed it, from other kids, and the entertainment media. It is no wonder that the U.S. has one of the highest unwanted teen-age pregnancy rates in the world….. Schools also supply some help on this topic. About 70% of all school districts in the USA offer some type of sex-education programs. Fearing protests by some parents, the majority of these programs are of an extremely basic nature, empha-

sizing the biological aspects, rather than the real social issues that affect common teen-agers. School programs usually present in 3 ways: 1) Abstinence Only Programs are the most basic approach, and offer no information about the use of contraceptives, relationships, or sexually transmitted diseases. 2) Abstinence Plus Programs offer besides basic biology lessons, information about sexually transmitted diseases, and the proper use of contraceptives. 3) Comprehensive Programs cover almost all issues re-

garding sexual matters, including relationship issues and sexual orientation. As you might imagine, which program is taught in each school is highly influenced by the dominant ideology of the parents residing in each district. Research on the effectiveness of these three programs have supported comprehensive programs as having more positive outcomes, and correlate with students experiencing reduced pregnancies, and less high-risk sexual behavior. While I can understand how more conservative parents would rather not have their children learn

about many sexual topics from a school program, they then best stand up to the plate, and talk to their kids. Hiding one’s heads in the sand, praying that the Lord will handle it.., is just too often an accident waiting to happen.

Schlossberg Psy.D; CHT ( Licensed Clinical Psychologist & Nationally Certified Hypnotherapist) by mail: 1250 E.

Without the sure footed guidance & direction of the OceanDrive Real Estate Group, we would not have stayed the course. We cannot thank you enough. May you both be blessed in all the avenues that you pursue. Sincerely, Anabel & Glenn

Solving problems that damage your home and business

WATER LEAKS: DAMAGE HAPPENS QUICKLY It doesn’t take much time for a water leak to do extensive damage to your home or business. In fact, it can happen just hours after the leak occurs. 1st Priority 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, don’t wait. Call 1st Priority Restoration immediately to fix the problem.

IS MOLD MAKING YOUR HOME TOXIC? 1st Priority specializes in ridding your home or business of mold that may be making the air you breathe toxic. When mold exists, it can exacerbate symptoms of asthma and other respiratory ailments, as well as cause coughing, sneezing, and headaches. And some people are highly allergic to it. WHAT IS MOLD? Mold is a living organism that can grow very rapidly under certain conditions. It reproduces by emitting microscopic spores that float through the air and land on damp surfaces, where they begin to feed on the material on which they are resting. Thousands of different kinds of molds exist, and some are known 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 Priority’s goal is to respond quickly and restore your home or business with the least amount of inconvenience to you.

Not your typical picnic: How to make a gourmet feast to go

(ARA) - Whether you're hitting the beach or heading for the mountains, why not pack a picnic that is worthy of your adventures? Culinary instructors from The International Culinary Schools at The Art Institutes offer simple recipes for a portable gourmet feast. Instead of reaching for chips and pretzels, pack snacks and appetizers that have a more robust flavor. Chef Randy Johnston, culinary instructor at The International Culinary School at The Art Institute of Washington, a branch of The Art Institute of Atlanta, recommends spiced or candied nuts, prosciutto-wrapped vegetables or an assortment of olives. "That's something you can just throw in a cooler and not worry about time and temperature as much," says Johnston. Both Johnston and Chef Joseph Brown, culinary department chair at The Art Institute of Raleigh Durham, a branch of

The Art Institute of Charlotte, recommend vegetable sandwiches, such as a Caponata Sandwich. These can be made a day in advance and are an unexpected change from cold cuts or mayonnaise-based salads. For side dishes with more of a dinner party than picnic flair, Johnston suggests grilled shrimp salad (cooked orzo, grilled shrimp and store-bought vinaigrette) and stuffed tomatoes (remove the tomato centers and fill with a mixture of chick peas, feta cheese and vinaigrette, or red peppers and parmesan cheese). When making fruit salad, Johnston says to mix it up. "Throw in something you don't normally use, like papaya," he says. "If you want to ramp it up even more, shop the Asian markets and specialty shops for unique fruits such as lychee or longans, which are packaged in simple syrup." For an adult version, you can try Chef Brown's Fruit

Salad with Tequila. Johnston recommends white sangria, or cucumber water to quench your thirst. To make cucumber water, slice cucumbers into small strips and let them sit in the water for a few hours.

of the bread. Place one slice of mozzarella on the bottom of each sandwich. Spoon the caponata on top, cover with the other bread half, and chill until ready to serve. Fruit Salad with Tequila Chef Joseph Brown
