And some people are highly allergic to it. Mold is a living organism that can grow very rapidly under certain conditions. It reproduces by emitting microscopic spores that float through the air and land on damp surfaces, where they begin to feed on the material on which they are resting. Thousands of different kinds of molds exist, and some are known allergens. A few produce harmful chemicals called mycotoxins that can seriously affect many parts of the body. But all molds, in the right conditions and in high enough concentrations, can adversely affect human health. Getting rid of mold is –––––––––––––––––––––– MOLD, Page 6A
numerous functions. One function is called oral competence, which is the ability to hold food and saliva in the mouth without drooling. The specialized lining of the mouth as well as the many saliva glands provide lubrication which aid in speech, swallowing and in the digestion of food. The grinding and crushing of food, which occurs in the oral cavity, is also important for digestion. Once foods are prepared for swallowing, the oral cavity helps in swallowing as the tongue and the mouth push the food backward towards the swallowing tube – the esophagus. Finally, our highly coordinated and specialized speech, which is so important

Tobacco and alcohol use are the major risk factors for most cancers of the head and neck including the oral cavity. Although the most common use of tobacco in the United States is cigarette smoking, the use of smokeless tobacco is also associated with oral cavity cancers.

CRA is making progress - working year round By Mayor Joy Cooper HALLANDALE BEACH - As you drive around Hallandale Beach you may see some colorful signs that say CRA: Progress is Happening Here! Our CRA and Staff have been very busy over the past year, working with many of our local businesses to enhance and upgrade their locations. The CRA provides business incentive grants and loans to address blighted conditions. Facade grants for $10,000 and ADA grants have helped beautify the corridors. Large loans like the one to enhance that Hallandale Medical Center for $200,000 that are paid off over a 10 year period, have created jobs and expanded businesses and services for our community. Progress is happening at theses locations and in many other areas of the CRA. Through targeted strategic planning, Dixie Highway will be seeing some major transformations over the next year. In August, the Board of Directors directed staff to go ahead and look to assemble properties along the corridor. The plan for land acquisition was passed on a 4-1 this past budget. Over the years, the area became an eye sore with abandoned
buildings, car repairs, auto body shops and a few smaller businesses. In order to stimulate redevelopment, the board purchased one of the auto body shops and this week just bought the land at the south corner of Foster and Dixie. This corner was acquired across the street from the new Fire Station site. Now the CRA controls the main gateway into the community. Yes Progress is happening! The Foster/Dixie Mixed Use Development is now acquiring financing and moving though final design stages. This project consists of 7,000 square feet of commercial space and 50 apartments. Next door to it along Foster, will be 12 new Townhouses for sale. The Fire Station final design and approval is scheduled to come to the city commission in December or early January with ground breaking in 2015. The new acquisition on the south corner, will be a targeted location for office retail. The auto body shop location just north of Foster/Dixie was placed on the CRA property list as an available site for development. All throughout the CRA area there are signs on lots we own, inviting interested parties
to inquire. When a developer comes in, they will submit what is call an unsolicited proposal. Staff will review it and if it meets with the vision of the board and is feasible they will be bring to forward to the board. It is exciting to see the strategic plan coming together. This past Monday, the board approved a conceptual proposal on a 3-2 vote for the item from HBC Medical Holdings, LLC. They represent Doctors Plus that specializes in Internal Medical, Family Practice and Pediatrics. If successful, this will bring much needed service, a first medical center in many years to the northwest area. Now the proposal will be negotiated with our staff. If negotiations are successful, it will come back to the board for final approval. If the negotiations fall short, the property will be put back on the market. The CRA has also completed the delivery of 8 affordable housing units. This means 8 new families will have a modern green certified home here in our city, that they can call home. On Monday we approved the next set of 11 homes to be built. Four developers have made the short list and will now negotiate with staff to en-
sure that they can meet special benchmarks. As we continue to move forward, we remain focused on our nationally recognized Community Benefit Program. We directed staff to make sure that the contractors are not only required to hire local workers, but pay them fair wages. This is a real issue that must be addressed not just here, but nationally. While the economy has picked up, the wage gap has grown. While
employment is up the way gap is 23% greater they pre-recession. I was shocked to find out recently that while construction work is picking u many of the workers are being paid $8.00 dollars an hour, I believe our society can do better. As the holidays approach, please remember to keep you and your valuables safe! If you see something say something. Our city wants everyone to have a wonderful holiday season.
The Hepburn Center Annual Thanksgiving Holiday Dinner will take place on Thursday November 27th, starting at 10 am. Have a Happy, Blessed Thanksgiving!

Food drive has raised over 50,000 lbs. for our very needy residents Hello everyone, Seven years ago while volunteering for our Hallandale Food Pantry, I wanted to go a step further to stock our pantry with additional food needed, during the holiday season. My idea was very simple, to drop off 50 empty boxes at each of our four schools, Hallandale Elementary, Gulfstream Middle, Hallandale High, and the Adult Community Center. If every student would bring in just one item, we could gather over 4,000 products of non-perishable food. So going into my 7th year it has been a proven success, raising over 50,000 lbs. of food for our very needy residents. As I have done in the past, trophy's will be given to the top schools, at our Commission meeting, factoring in their student population, by the pound. Similar to Handicaping a race to make each school competitive. Also a cash donation my be made to the Hallandale Pantry. For every $.19 cents, equals a pound of food purchased at Feeding South Florida warehouse were we get most of our product. Each Monday I use my truck to bring in 4,000 of goods back to our Pantry. Next month, I will announce the wining school, and the runners up award of the top schools that combined have brought in close to 5,000 lbs., this year. Each week on Thursday morning the lines of people continue to grow to over 275 to 300 each week. If you are able to help donate contact me. Bill Julian---Vice -Mayor, (954)-274-7230. 1102 NE. 2nd Ct.

IS MOLD MAKING YOUR HOME TOXIC?
The professionals at 1st Priority can find the mold and remove it permanently
Mold
From Page 1A –––––––––––––––––––––– 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. A small area of mold and moisture can spread to big damage. 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.

There are roughly 22,000 new cases of Oral Cavity Cancer
Bobadilla From Page 1A –––––––––––––––––––––– There is roughly 22,000 new cases per year of cancers of the lip are not included. Between 6,000 and 7,000 deaths per year occur because of oral cavity cancer. As can be easily seen from the review of the anatomy and functions of this area, cancers of the oral cavity left untreated can have devastating effects on critical life functions for people who have this disease. Similarly, choice of treatment must take into account the potential loss of function in this area. Cancers of the oral cavity may involve any single one of these specialized types of tissue or more than one. As noted, tissues in this area includes bone, teeth, muscle, nerves, a rich supply blood vessels, numerous saliva gland, and the specialized lining called mucosa. Although tumors may arise in any of these types of tissues they are most commonly related to changes in the lining of the mouth. The most common cancer of the oral cavity is called squamous cell carcinoma and arises from the lining of the oral cavity. Over 95 percent of oral cavity cancers are squamous cell carcinomas and these cancers are further subdivided by how closely they resemble normal lining cells: well differentiated, moderately differentiated and poorly differentiated. Other types of cancers of the oral cavity include cancers of the salivary glands such as mucoepidermoid carcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma, sarcomas (tumors arising from bone, cartilage, fat, fibrous tissue or muscle), and melanomas. RISK FACTORS Tobacco and alcohol use are the major risk factors for most cancers of the head and neck including the oral cavity. Although the most common use of tobacco in the United States is cigarette smoking, the use of smokeless tobacco, or chew, is associated with oral cavity cancers. The most common site for oral cavity cancer in the United States is the tongue. In other regions of the world, different areas are more commonly affected. In countries such as India, where the use of a specific type of smokeless tobacco and a substance called beetle nut is common, the inner cheek area of the oral cavity is most commonly affected. Although there has been some decrease in the overall numbers of oral cavity cancers and deaths from the disease noted in the last 20 years, the decrease has not been dramatic. Symptoms There are many symptoms that raise concern for the possibility of the oral cavity cancer being present. The most common of these is a nonhealing wound on the tongue, in the floor of mouth or along the inner cheek. These can be
painful, but in some cases do not cause significant discomfort. There may be bleeding from the area which occurs in an “on and off” manner. As the lesions increase in size, more symptoms occur. Complaints may include new or increased pain, pain was swallowing, ear pain, a change in speech, uncoordinated swallowing, or a lump in the neck. The most important factor to note is that sores in the mouth, whether they are related to trauma or to a variation of canker sores, should fully heal within three weeks. If this does not occur attention should be sought and trained professional should evaluate this region. EVALUATION AND DIAGNOSIS Examination will usually be done of the entire head and neck region including the throat nose and ears. Particular attention will be given to feeling the neck to note if there are signs of cancer spread to lymph nodes in the neck called metastases. Once the clinical examination is completed, recommendation may be given to obtain a specialized type of X-ray, such as a CT scan or MRI. One or both of these can may be necessary at each can provide very specific information concerning the extent of disease. The physician may also order an X-ray or CT scan of the chest to see if there is any spread of disease to the lungs, the most common site of spread outside of the neck. At this point, a biopsy – a small piece of tissue taken from the suspected tumor – is often advised. This tissue is sent to a pathologist to define which types of cells are making up the tumor TUMOR STAGING Once a full examination has been completed as well as the necessary Xrays and biopsies, the tumor is “staged.” Staging is a well-defined method of describing the exact extent of a specific tumor in an individual patient and then placing that tumor in a specific category. This not only assists in choosing treatment options, but also helps predict how successful therapy will be. There are three categories used to describe the tumor: T (tumor), N (lymph node involvement), M (metastasis – spread to other areas of the body.) This is called the TNM classification system. Tumors of the oral cavity are described by their size. Tumors less than 2 cm are called T1. Tumors that are greater than 2 cm, but less than 4 cm are called T2. Tumors greater than 4 cm are called T3. Any tumor that is deeply invading bone, skin or other areas of the head and neck is labeled T4. Lymph node involvement is labeled as N1 if there is one lymph node less than 3 cm on the same side as the tumor. Lymph node involvement is labeled as N2 if a single lymph node is greater than 3 cm but less than 6 cm, or is on
THE SUPREME HAPPINESS IN LIFE IS THE CONVICTION THAT WE ARE LOVED! the opposite side of the tumor, or if there are more than one lymph nodes present. If a lymph node in the neck is greater than 6 cm then it is called N3. The M classification is M0 if there is no evidence of cancer spread elsewhere in the body or labeled as positive if there is evidence of cancer spread to tissues such as the lungs, liver, bones or brain. Once each part of the TNM classification is completed tumors are then staged into four separate groups: I, II, III, IV. Stages I and II are usually defined as earlystage tumors, whereas
stages III and IV are usually defined as advanced stage tumors. Treatment is then based on the stage of the tumor, with more advanced tumors requiring more advanced treatments. TREATMENT The three main tools for treating cancers of the oral cavity are surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. For this reason, someone with a cancer of the oral cavity may also meet a specialist from radiation oncology as well as medical oncology. In some cases of advanced cancers of the oral cav-

ity, a specialist in reconstructive surgery may also become involved to assist with specialized reconstruction should it be required. In general, Stage I and Stage II cancers require one type of treatment, either surgery or radiation therapy, to successfully control the cancer. Advanced Stage III and Stage IV cancers will often require combinations of surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy or even
the use of all three. Overall survival rates for any cancer of the oral cavity are about 70 percent five-year survival for stage I or II disease. Five-year survival drops to about 50 percent for stage III cancers and further drops to roughly 35 percent for stage IV cancers. Call us today to help you have better oral health!

The bedroom: the key to a restful night's sleep (BPT) - Whether snuggling in for the night or just trying to catch a few quick winks, your environment plays an important role in determining if you're counting sheep or counting Zzzs. From noise reduction to lighting, there are a few easy ways you can turn your bedroom into a tranquil oasis. "A third of the adult population suffers from insomnia from time to time, but only about 6 percent meet the criteria for an actual sleep disorder," says Dr. Christina Brown from the Florida School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University in Tampa. "In a good number of cases, getting to sleep and staying asleep is a matter of your surroundings." Anne Holic, interior design instructor at The Art Institute of Washington, a branch of The Art Institute of Atlanta, focuses on areas of the bedroom that you may want to re-evaluate in order to create the sleep haven you've been craving. These include lighting, furniture and decor. LIGHTING: Humans were created to be in-synch with the sun cycle. For this reason, Holic recommends installing dimmer switches on your lights, which she says can mimic the way the sun works. Holic also recommends using window treatments such as blinds or heavy drapes to eliminate light. Both Brown and Holic warn about elec-

Argosy University, Tampa is a campus of Argosy University (www.argosy.edu), a private, accredited academic institution dedicated to providing
tronics that provide artificial light in the bedroom. "Get rid of your phones, TVs and tablets while in bed. The artificial light will interrupt your sleep cycle and keep your brain activated, making it harder to get to sleep and keep you off the more natural sleep patterns," Brown says. FURNITURE AND DECOR: Holic emphasizes that paint colors are important. You want to choose colors that are calm, such as blues, greens or a calm violet and avoid colors in the red family. In addition to color, Holic says people are thinking more environmentally and choosing paints with low or no volatile organic compound (VOC). Simplifying the space is critical, according to Holic. She says that along with the TVs and computers, exercise equipment and any other potential disturbances should be removed from the bedroom. Don't forget to include

"Area rugs give a cozy feeling to the room," says Holic. "They work well, because carpets can harbor a lot of dust and mold." Brown recommends a white noise machine or ceiling fan to drown out the background noise. Holic agrees, adding that white noise, like the hum of a ceiling fan, can reduce the background noise you hear by about 20 percent. If you are interested in following some of the principles of feng shui in your bedroom, Holic suggests keeping the bed away from doors and anchoring the bed with a strong headboard and nightstands on both sides.

Shop small in Hollywood over the holidays Small Business Saturday, November 29 The holiday season is an important time for small businesses and many customers see the value in buying local products and services. Through the Small Business Saturday national campaign, more and more people are thinking about their buying choices. Last year alone $5.7 billion
HOLLYWOOD - The official start of the holiday shopping season is just around the corner and the City of Hollywood and the Hollywood Community Redevelopment Agency have teamed with the City’s three business associations and the Greater Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to promote Small Business Saturday. This initiative, launched in 2010 by the American Express Corporation, encourages people to shop at small business on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. This year the big day is November 29. Businesses can get involved in supporting the “Shop Small” movement by signing up their small business on the City’s website so that it can be a part of Hollywood’s list of Small Business Saturday participating businesses. Go to www.hollywoodfl.org/s hopsmall and fill in the information. All eligible businesses will become part of Hollywood’s online listing for this event. If you are offering some type of special (buy one get one free, XX% off, etc.) you can also include this with your listing. The City and its partners will also promote the “Shop Small” message on social media, by word of mouth, and through banners and other advertising. The Hollywood Beach Business Association, the Downtown Hollywood Business Association and the Johnson Street Business District will each serve as Neighborhood Champions for Small Business Saturday. Each will be distributing a kit of materials provided free of charge by American Express to businesses in their areas (you do not have to be an American Express partner to participate). Promotional materials will be distributed to participating businesses within each district while supplies last. If you’re out shopping look for the blue welcome mats and balloons. Small business owners in Hollywood are
also being encouraged to help make the Small Business Saturday shopping experience special for their customers by considering things like serving free hot chocolate and cookies, playing holiday music, having a drawing for a gift certificate or gift basket for customers. Additionally, the City of Hollywood Department of Community and Eco-
dollars were spent on the Saturday after Thanksgiving in small businesses across the country! Take advantage of this opportunity to support the small businesses in our community. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact:

Huntley also connected for touchdowns with Joshua Hammond and Neru Nshaka as Hallandale scored the game’s first 28 points. Hallandale’s running game totaled 183 yards as well, as senior Taj McGowan led the way with 70 yards and a touchdown. “We’ve been going one game at a time and
Chargers From Page 1A –––––––––––––––––––––– enjoyed much of its success on the basketball court through the years, the unbeaten (100) Chargers will not be intimidated when the Rockets (10-1) come to Hallandale Beach for the first time ever in any sport for a 7:30 kickoff. Hallandale has never advanced past the second round of the playoffs. “We have learned that the only way to accomplish what we have so far this year is to take each game one at a time,” said head coach Dameon Jones. “We felt that way when Miami Northwestern came here last week, and we will have to do it against one of the nation’s elite teams.” Hallandale rolled all over the once powerful Northwestern Bulls, 4720, and while the respect for Central is without saying, this is a football program that has come too far and climbed too many obstacles to let their collective guard down against this nationally rated program that is bidding for an amazing
fifth straight trip to Orlando and the state championship. While the Chargers are a young football team – with record-setting junior quarterback Tyler Huntley – leading the way once again this year – this program is not short on talent, and a win against the Rockets – while it would be amazing and something that would truly change the perception of this program – it would not be a total shock. Not to the players and coaches who have been around this building process for three years. “I understand that we are not considered as one of the powers in the state – or even locally in the minds of some people,” said junior receiver Chris Cotto. “But this is a process that has played out since we arrived here. We felt all along that to change the perception of the school and the program – you have to win a big game, and they certainly do not get any bigger than this one.” Cotto caught two early touchdown passes from Hallandale quarterback Tyler Huntley, who threw four for the game and finished with 188
the game plan was to get out tonight and get a big lead,” Jones said. “We have to clean up the mistakes before next week and keep getting better.” To beat Miami Central, Hallandale will need to have its best players step up. Senior prospects like receiver Richie Cooper, who took a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown against
Northwestern. They will also need defensive efforts by University of Georgia-bound linebacker Juwan Taylor, FSU commit Sh’mar Kilby-Lane, who recently was added to the Army All-American game roster, Syracuse bound defensive end Dana Levine and other top prospects. The Chargers boast more Division 1 (FBS
level) talent than this school has ever had before, and while beating the Rockets will take a huge effort, that’s what this football program has been building toward. The winner of Friday night’s game will move on to the third round and square off against the winner of the Palm Bay Heritage (7-3) and Naples (10-1) game.
