2012 Pinecrest ‘Relay of Life’ Feb. 25

BY LEE STEPHENS

he 2011 Pinecrest Relay for Life was a community success. The committee and teams of the Candyland Relay thank all of the Pinecrest residents, businesses, schools, and neighboring communities for their enthusiastic support. The Relay raised over $110,000 to help with the American Cancer Society’s mission of research, advocacy and development of community support systems for those touched by cancer. Pinecrest Relay 2011 was chaired by Debra Strochak and Mayor Cindy Lerner. Their energy and enthusiasm harnessed the grassroots effort of the community, bringing Pinecrest into the mix of Relay for Life, the No. 1 non-profit program worldwide. This success and spirit of caring is continuing full steam ahead with planning for the 2012 Pinecrest Relay for Life. In September, there was an enthusiastic turnout for the kickoff event at Bargello Bistro in The Falls. The theme for the Feb. 25 Relay for Life is Romantic Movies and teams are hurrying to secure their favorite choices. Teams come from across the spectrum that is Pinecrest — schools, churches, synagogues, book clubs, businesses, scouts, friends and families. You will want to be part of this year’s event, whether as a team

Domestic violence – anyone can be a victim BY KATHERINE FERNANDEZ RUNDLE Miami-Dade State Attorney

The tragic issue of domestic violence is especially recognized every year during the month of October. Domestic violence is a very serious problem. It is hard to know exactly how common domestic violence is because the problem often goes unreported. Domestic violence is defined as a type of abuse that involves physically or mentally injuring someone, usually a spouse or partner, but it can also be a parent, child, caregiver or other family member. There is no typical victim of domestic violence. It happens among people of all ages, ethnicities, and religions, never discriminating. It affects those of all levels of income and education, and statistics demonstrate that it is the most common cause of injury to women ages 15 to 44. Victims of domestic violence may suffer

ALEX GUILLEN Alex Guillen, a senior at Palmetto High School, has hundreds of community service hours. She earned many of those hours by working with Paws4You, a pet rescue organization that takes dogs to the PetSmart in Pinecrest every weekend in hopes of matching them with adoptive families. “I’d go from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. every Sunday,” she says. “Every Sunday we’d get like two new dogs. Maybe five a day would get adopted. And if they had puppies, they’d go.” She stopped volunteering for Paws4You, but continued doing community service in other areas. “I used to want to be a vet, but now I want to be a physical therapist. So now I volunteer at a physical therapist’s office,” she says. Guillen has been working with the Progressive Therapy Center, which is owned by a friend of the family. Guillen says she has had to undergo physical therapy a few times after breaking bones so she’s familiar with what a therapist does. Plus, her interest rose when she took an anatomy class year. “I always liked doctors and doing things with medicine,” she says. Guillen fits in her volunteer work around Omega Singers, the school chorus, which is not only a class, but a club. She’s president of Omega Singers so she has additional responsibilities. Guillien is also in the TriM Music Society Club. “Every year we do a caroling competi-

tion in the winter,” she says. “In February there is FVA (a competition) and the last few years we have been going as a show choir.” A show choir not only sings, but incorporates dancing. “Usually it’s more like pop music or a musical,” she says. “This year we might go in as a classical choir.” That decision depends on what the new chorus teacher decides. Guillen says over the summer they thought chorus was only going to be a club because they didn’t have a teacher available for the class, but Palmetto’s principal was able to work things out to keep it a class. The chorus also has a fall show each year at the school that they do in conjunction with the orchestra. The singers also visit area elementary schools to help keep the kids on track with music. “A lot of elementary schools are thinking about dropping music,” she says. “We will go there and tutor them.” The high school students help the elementary school kids go farther in music than what they learned in class, going over the notes and showing the children the beats. “We would do one song with them,” she says. At the same time, they tried to make it fun. Guillen is a member of the Pink Ribbon Club and she was in the HIV Club. “Every year we have to get recertified to be an HIV Peer Educator,” she says. “We take a day to learn about it so we can educate others about it. Another day in the year we would go into classes with the teacher’s permission and we would give our own class on HIV. I think it’s really important.” If kids have questions or need help, Guillen says they give them the hotline numbers they can call and information about clinics to go to. Guillen has been a basketball coach for third graders through Dade County Sports. “I usually do it in the spring season,” she says. “I love it. The kids are so much fun and they are funny too. They ask you strange questions because they want to know everything. They made me laugh so much.” Guillen has begun applying to colleges with good music programs and science programs. She hopes to major in physical therapy or sports medicine, with a minor in music. By Linda Rodriguez Bernfeld

COURTNEY WELBON Singing is a big part of Courtney Welbon’s life. She has cut a CD and raised money for her Girl Scout Gold project by putting on a benefit concert. “I have a band (Town),” Welbon says. “We write our own songs.” For her Gold Award, Welbon went to Branches, a Florida City church. “It’s a South Florida Urban ministry,” she says. “They have after-school programs for children of migrant workers. They also have a summer camp program.” Welbon created content for a week of summer camp. “We made a drama camp,” she says. “We did sports, we had arts and class. We had a performance class and we had bible studies.” There were some hiccups in the plans – the church actually burned down over the summer so they ended up doing the summer camp at Florida City Elementary School. She called on friends from drama to help out that week. “On the fourth night, we had the play. We invited their families and friends and the community to watch them. We also provided food at the play. We had someone video tape it too so they could keep it.” They taught the children skits based on fairy tales. All five classes did their own story. “The first day they were shy,” she says. “The last night they got up on stage and they acted their hearts out and they sang. Some of the shyest kids had the biggest parts.” She chose to do that project and relate it

to drama because she’s been in drama all her life. “It’s really shaped who I am today. I’m more comfortable with myself and with others too,” she says. Along with the benefit concert, Welbon raised money for the drama week by hosting a bake sale and selling raffle tickets. Her efforts netted about $500. The money that was left over was used to throw a party for the kids where they watched a video of the performance. Welbon is involved in the Palmetto drama program so she stays after school until 3:30 p.m. The program recently put on The Laramie Project, where she played Romaine Patterson, Matthew Shepherd’s best friend. Last year, she was cast in Peter Pan as Toddles, the second leader of the Lost Boys. At Palmetto, Welbon is a member of the Eight Habits of the Heart club. Club members visit social studies classes to talk to students about things they should be doing to make the school a better place. “Things like kindness, brotherhood and being cooperative,” she says. “We also help them make sure they are on scheduled for everything they need for college.” Outside of school, Welbon is a member of Twenty Little Working Girls and the Junior Opera Guild. Although those organizations take up a lot of time, she has decided that she’s going to train for the ING Marathon anyway. “I’m doing the half marathon,” she says. “My goal is to raise $50 per mile. It’s going toward kids in Haiti so they have clean water.” The money will pay for clean water packets. Welbon is taking the time to start making her college applications. She’s looking at attending school in New York or Boston, although she’s not ruling out Florida schools. Her major is still undecided. “I’m so torn. I’m love music with the band and acting,” she says. “I don’t know if I want to go into theater or psychology. I also really love math. I don’t know where that all fits in.” By Linda Rodriguez Bernfeld

JESSE SHECHTER Gulliver Prep senior Jesse Shechter has hundreds of community service hours and is so involved in extracurricular activities that he’s likely to gain many more before the end

of his high school career. “I’m president of the Biomedical Club and I try to take what we learn in the class and apply it to make the community a better place,” Shechter says. One of his main projects this year is Impact Testing, which calls for baseline testing of sports teams before the season begins. If an athlete suffers a concussion, then tests taken after the concussion are compared to the baseline test. “The biomedical club is working in collaboration with the University of Miami for concussion testing so our athletes will be safer,” Shechter says. “It’s the same testing they use on the UM football and basketball teams.” The tests have been done for Gulliver football players, but Shechter hopes to be able to expand the testing to other sports. “We’re trying to propose to the school that it cover all the soccer players as well,” he says. “Hopefully by the third or fourth quarter we’ll be testing players in all the sports.” The baseline test is a program on computer that they administer to the players once before the season and after an injury occurs. “We do the test as soon as we can after injury,” he says. “We’re trying to get this test

to be spread throughout the community. It helps them with their recovery.” Shechter says while he’s not an athlete at school, he has lots of friends who are athletes and he plays basketball with some of them regularly. “One of my friends was talking about having trouble remembering things, that he had blurry vision, and a lot of things that come from having multiple concussions,” he says. “There are so many bad things that can come from it.” Shechter is also working on a project to build a low-cost hearing device for those who can’t afford hearing aids. “We’re trying to build one to see if it works,” he says. “We looked at it and we created a circuit plan that could be more cost effective.” He’s also interning at the University of Miami. “I’m doing volunteer work to find a cure for paralysis. We’re testing a new experimental drug,” he says. “In spinal cord injuries, the nerves get severed and they can’t get messages. We’re testing this drug on the growth of these nerves and seeing if there are promising results.”

He started working on the program in the summer and he’s planning on continuing throughout the school year. His good works don’t stop there. He’s working with the engineering department in an effort to develop an even better water purification system than the one that Gulliver students designed a couple of years ago that is now in use at a children’s hospital in Haiti. “It’s really cool to make something that will help so many people,” he says. “It’s unbelievable that as high school students we can make something that will clean water and help people.” Shechter is also a member of Health Interested Students of America and he tutors middle and high school students in math and science. He particularly likes to help students who hate math or sciences overcome their dislike of those subjects. This fall, Shechter is completing his college applications and hopes to get a pre-medicine or biology degree before going on to medical school. He is interested in such highcaliber schools as Stanford, Johns Hopkins and Washington University. By Linda Rodriguez Bernfeld

physical injuries such as bruises, broken bones, and sadly enough, sometimes even death. The effects of emotional abuse may also result in severe depression, anxiety, or social isolation. In the year 2010, my office handled over 8,300 cases of domestic violence in MiamiDade County alone. More than half of these cases were misdemeanors, but 3,100 of these arrests resulted in felony prosecutions. Our office provided services to 6,000 of these victims including housing, re-location assistance, and injunction filings. Domestic violence can occur in many different ways. Some of the most common types of abuse are: • Physical abuse – the use of physical force • Sexual abuse – any forced sexual activity • Emotional abuse – this includes threats, constant criticism, and put-downs. • Controlling access to money and controlling activities are other abusive behaviors. Domestic violence against a partner or a child is a crime in all states. At least 4 million women are abused in this country each year. Domestic violence abuse can begin, continue and even increase during pregnancy. The most important thing that we need to realize is that people who are hurt by their

partners, parents or guardians do not cause the abuse. Neither do alcohol and drugs, although they can make the violence worse. If you or your children are abused, first and foremost, make sure that everyone is safe. It is important that you and your children go to a safe place — such as the home of a friend, a relative or an emergency shelter — as soon as possible. If you feel that you cannot leave your home safely, call the police and ask them to assist you. Let the police know if you want to initiate charges against your abuser. Take as many important personal items with you as possible, including your house keys, money and any important papers that you may need for yourself and your children (such as social security numbers, passports, etc.). The staff members at emergency shelters can help you file for a court order of protection against your abuser. It is important that you remain alert so that you can provide as much information as possible to the authorities as necessary. Finally, your personal doctor, nurses, social workers, and other health care professionals can provide you with support and make referrals on your behalf. You can also call an emergency shelter and ask about counseling and support groups for you and your child(ren). The Miami-Dade Domestic Violence Hotline to report suspected abuse is 305-349-5888 or you can visit their website at <www.ndvh.org>.

South Florida International Auto Show opens Oct. 28 BY LEE STEPHENS

The 41st edition of the South Florida International Auto Show opens Oct. 28 for its annual 10-day run at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Each year, about 40 major auto manufacturers fill the hall with several hundred new cars, trucks, crossovers and SUVs and make this South Beach event one of America’s top five in attendance. “Today’s economy has fueled a strong interest in smaller, more efficient cars, and the show this year will be loaded with the latest hybrids, electrics, diesels and conventional vehicles that squeeze more value and performance out of a tank full,” said Lombardo Perez, auto show chair. Some lucky person will win this year’s giveaway car, a new 2012 Chevrolet Sonic. This exciting new subcompact is the only car in its class built in Lombardo Perez America. It’s peppy, –––––––––––––––––––

but sips gasoline, comes with 10 airbags and has lots of plug-in options up front. The reason for its crisp handling — it was tuned by Corvette engineers. The Boss Mustang was born in 1969, then it played hard to get, and now it’s back for 2012 as the Boss 302 Laguna Edition, honoring the Monterey Bay track where

records are set. And it’s this year’s Official Show Car. The new Boss/Laguna is lighter, stronger, has more grunt under the hood and comes in vintage colors that say “let’s go!” Ford calls it the quickest, best-handling straight-production Mustang ever offered. The show’s perennial favorites return. Memory Lane this year features 20 vehicles dating from a 1930 Ford Model A to a

Again this year, a Green Way special exhibit will feature some of the industry’s most fuel efficient cars. Auto Show Mall features basics and bling to make your ride special. Camp Jeep and an outside test drive program will put visitors behind the wheel of popular new models. “As always at this huge auto show families and individuals can see and sit inside hundreds of new cars under one roof at their leisure,” Perez added. “It’s a once-ayear chance to get close to the newest models and see what’s coming off today’s more efficient assembly lines.” The South Florida Automobile Dealers Association, which today comprises more than 190 dealerships in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Monroe counties, has been the official sponsor of the South Florida International Auto Show since its inception in 1971.

Early exams cut breast cancer risk BY BRODES H. HARTLEY, JR. President/CEO, Community Health of South Florida

You may have noticed increased attention to breast cancer lately, with lots of bright pink accents on clothing, uniforms and other items. There’s a good reason. Except for skin cancers, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. But it can be successfully treated. Mammograms can help find breast cancer early when it’s most treatable. And, of course, you have a better chance of surviving breast cancer if it’s treated early. Many doctors recommend having a clinical exam at least every three years starting at age 20. If you are age 40 or older, talk with your doctor about when to start getting mammograms and how often to get them. Women ages 50 to 74 need a mammogram every two years. You may choose to start getting mammograms earlier or to get them more often. You and your doctor can decide what’s best for you. See your doctor if you notice any of the tell-tale changes in your breast: • A lump, hard knot or thickening inside the breast or underarm. • Swelling, warmth, redness or darkening

of the breast. • Change in the size or shape. • Dimpling or puckering of the skin. • An itchy, scaly sore or rash. • A discharge that starts suddenly. • A new, painful spot that doesn’t go away. Talk with your doctor about genetic testing if two or more close family members have had breast or ovarian cancer, a close family member had breast cancer before age 50, a family member has had both breast and ovarian cancer, or you are of Eastern European Jewish heritage. If tests reveal a high risk for getting breast or ovarian cancer, you and your doctor can discuss options for lowering the risk. There are healthy lifestyle choices you can make that will help: • Maintain a healthy weight. • Add exercise into your daily or weekly routine. • Limit alcohol intake. • Limit postmenopausal hormone use. • Breastfeed, if you can. Support groups are an important resource for people with breast cancer. Some groups mainly provide information such as tips for coping or what to expect with chemotherapy treatment. Others focus on shared feelings and provide emotional support. For information, visit online at <www.chisouthfl.org>.

New clothing concept at SoMi’s UV Wear BY SUSAN SMITH

UV Wear, a new boutique catering to the needs of active outdoorsy adults and children, recently opened at Plaza 57 introducing a line of sun safe protective clothing, hats and sunglasses. Enjoying an active lifestyle of golf, surfing and triathlon training, the husband and wife team saw a need to make UV clothing more accessible to the public. Owners Andrea and Mark Bennington grew tired of ordering their UV clothing online without getting a chance to feel the fabrics or confirm the right size. It was the subsequent loss of a dear friend however that confirmed their decision to open the business. Dr. Richard Dolsey was a close family friend and local physician. “When Richard lost his battle with skin cancer it was a real wake up call,” said Andrea Bennington. Bennington herself is also contending with a recently discovered precancerous lesion. The light weight apparel is fashionable and trendy and blocks 98% or more

of the UVA and UVB rays prior to reaching the skin, according to Bennington. “The clothes are comfort-

able in the Miami heat, they look great and protect you,” she added. Bennington explained to the friends

and family present at the boutique’s recent ribbon cutting that traditional sunscreen lotions’ effectiveness has been called into question in recent years because UV rays absorbed by the ingredients are possibly re-released in the body as free radicals In addition to dresses, hats, tunics, rash guards, pants, shorts and tops, UV Wear also carries organic sunscreen protection as well as kids wear options and a diverse line of sunglasses. All clothing is certified as UPF 50 by the International UV Testing Laboratory and has earned the seal of recommendation of the Skin Cancer Foundation. To earn its seal, the organization requires that clothing reach a UPF of at least 30 and retains its sun protective qualities after numerous washings and exposure to sunlight. UV Wear will be open Monday through Friday from 10am to 6:30 pm and on Saturdays from 11am to 5pm. Address is 7301 S.W. 57th Court. Contact UV Wear at 305-669-1234, uvwearstore.com.

Rocco’s Pizza Lounge new place to dine in Downtown Dadeland BY LINDA RODRIGUEZ BERNFELD

There is a new place to eat in Downtown Dadeland. It’s called Rocco’s Pizza Lounge and it is the type of place that can satisfy someone’s ever changing moods. Although it only has been open a few months, Rocco’s is starting to create some buzz. “We’re getting a good family crowd and later it’s a different crowd,” says manager Rocco Di Martino Jr. “We purposefully did it that way. After 10 p.m. we’re trying to push for more bar lounge sales.” Rocco’s is owned by the Di Martino family, which also owns Krissals near The Falls and Di Napoli Italian Restaurant in Pinecrest. Because Rocco’s is located in Downtown Dadeland, at 8865 SW 72 Place, the lunch crowd is business oriented, either workers in from the offices nearby or shoppers from Dadeland. In the early afternoon/evening, families come in with their children and then later in the evening, when twentysomethings are heading out, the crowd becomes more adult. To satisfy such a diverse customer base, the menu is eclectic enough to accommodate whatever group comes in. It has some traditional Italian entrees — Panini, salads, burgers and pasta as well as an extensive cocktail menu. It offers pizzas made in wood burning ovens, tapas, calzones, Panini’s, pasta and salads. The Napolitan style pizzas are made with imported flour and homemade fresh mozzarella. They are innovative, featuring non-traditional delicious combinations. For example they have a Pizza con Figi, which features figs, prosciutto, gorgonzola cheese, balsamic and arugula. “Most people pick from the specials but if you want to add or take away we’ll do that,” Di Martino said. Burgers have been a big hit at Rocco’s. A favorite is the Burger Ammassato, which is a homemade patty stuffed with fresh mozzarella cheese, onions and mushrooms served on a brioche roll with pesto Mayonnaise. Di Martino says they use the finest ingredients while still maintaining good prices. Rocco’s also features daily specials — they have different specials at night — and an $8.95 lunch menu. “They do tapas, and they have great one size or one serving pizzas that are more gourmet than Di Martino’s,” said Nancy Hartner, who loves to eat at all three Di Martino-owned restaurants. “Rocco’s has a

whole different feel. The lighting at Rocco’s is so wonderful, you can’t help but look beautiful.” Hartner said she likes how someone can hang out at the bar that’s separate from the restaurant area. “It’s an interesting place to hang,” she said. “It’s large enough to accommodate parties.” She recently celebrated her birthday at Rocco’s and they had a table for 15. Rocco’s is adding destination events to its calendar. They’ve had an Open Mic party and they’ve had comedy acts and Lady’s Night as a way to draw in new customers. Di Martino says Rocco’s has been considered a place for dinner and they want to be known as a place to go later in the evening as well. At this point, customers are finding Rocco’s, and once they do, they are coming back. “We’ve been extremely happy with the amount of return customers,” Di Martino said.

THE HIRING OF A LAWYER IS AN IMPORTANT DECISION THAT SHOULD NOT BE BASED SOLELY UPON ADVERTISEMENTS. BEFORE YOU DECIDE, ASK US TO SEND YOU FREE WRITTEN INFORMATION ABOUT OUR QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPENSES

Our dining table is a multi-purpose piece of furniture. Yes, it’s the place to gather for special meals; but on a regular basis, it doubles as a work table for jigsaw puzzles. Our family loves them. When passing through the room, I can scarcely resist the urge to stop and fit in a piece or two, before I head to my household destination. Such quick breaks are gratifying when I have success — that is, when there are colors or images in the puzzle that provide clues for fitting the pieces together — but they can be frustrating when all that’s left is sky or ocean. I know the pieces must fit — after all, there’s only one place left for them to go — but I can’t see the configuration quickly and easily. If I want to help complete the puzzle at this point, I cannot work on the run; my only recourse is to take a seat, spend some time, and figure out the next move. There are seasons in our lives when our routines are running smoothly and the “puzzle pieces” of existence are easy to fit together. Other times, however, the landscape is unclear and answers are hard to pin down. Like puzzle pieces

to the sky or the ocean, we know our decisions need to fit together somehow in order to move forward, but we don’t know how to make it all happen. It is particularly important when the way is not clear and the answers are elusive that we need to take a seat, spend some time and listen; listen, that is, for God. As it says in the powerful words of Psalm 46: God is our refuge and strength; a very present help in trouble. Through individual prayer, through contemplating scripture and through conversation with trusted friends, God can provide the guidance we need, but we need to take time — and have patience! — as answers emerge. Further in the psalm, we read: Be still and know that I am God! I am exalted among the nations, I am exalted in the earth. The lord of hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our refuge. In good times, bad times and all times, spend time in prayer with God. For God is with you every step of the way, and can guide you through the colorful, complicated puzzle we call life. Rev. Kathryn Carroll is a Pinecrest resident, and serves as Pastor of Spiritual Formation at Christ The King Lutheran Church, 11295 57th Ave. Worship services are every Sunday at 8:15 and 10 a.m., with Sunday school for all ages at 9 a.m. For more information, view the church website at www.ctkmiami.org.

BY DR. LEONARDO HENRIQUEZ

What is breast cancer? Breast cancer is a type of cancer that originates in the ducts of the breast that carry milk to the nipple, and in the lobules. What causes breast cancer? The exact cause of breast cancer remains unknown; however, medical experts attribute certain risk factors such as age, gender, race, family history, genetics, and early breast radiation to the development of breast cancer. Additionally, certain risk factors related to lifestyle may play a role. These include not having children or having them later in life, long-term use of birth control pills and/or postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy, consuming alcohol regularly, smoking, being overweight or obese, and not getting enough exercise. It’s important to note that having one or more of these risk factors does not mean that a person will necessarily develop breast cancer but that they may be at a higher risk in getting the disease. How is breast cancer found? The earlier breast cancer is detected, the better the chances are to treat it successfully. It is recommended that women begin having a mammogram at age 40 and continue doing so every year. Clinical breast exams (CBEs) are recommended for women in their 20s and 30s. A CBE should be performed every three years for women in this age group and every year for women age 40 and older. After menstruation, Breast self-exams (BSEs) are encouraged for women in their 20s and then throughout life. Finding a change in the feel of the breast does not necessarily mean it is cancer, but it should be reported to your health care provider immediately. Visit the American Cancer Society Web site, www.cancer.org, to learn how to properly perform a BSE.

How is breast cancer treated? The majority of women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer will have some type of surgery to treat the breast tumor and remove as much of the cancer as possible. Surgical procedures also allow physicians to determine whether the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes under the arm, to restore the breast’s appearance after a mastectomy, or to alleviate symptoms of advanced forms of cancer. Your physician will speak to you about the best option for you. The most important thing to know is that many forms of breast cancer are treatable, especially when the cancer is found at an early stage. You should not let the fear of breast cancer keep you from getting examined or treated. Where can I learn more about breast cancer prevention and treatment? The Comprehensive Breast Center at Jackson South Community Hospital is a “one-stop shop,” offering comprehensive screening tests and informational resources that women need to achieve good health. Since early detection of cancer is the key to successful treatment, the center is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic testing equipment that can provide your doctor with test results the same day. The advantage is that if patients need further testing, it can be done right away. Jackson South also provides cancer counselors and is affiliated with community group, such as A Buddy for You and the Komen Institute, to help patients and families cope with the diagnosis of breast cancer. Call Jackson South at 305-521-2500 to schedule an appointment. You can also visit <www.jhsmiami.org> to learn more about women’s health services offered through the Jackson Health System. Dr. Leonardo Henriquez is an assistant professor of surgery at the University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine. He completed his residency in anatomical pathology and general surgery at the University of Massachusetts. His breast surgery training took place at Sloan Kettering Memorial Cancer Center in New York City and institutions in Brazil, Italy and France.

BETH AM TEMPLE TALK ‘Sabbath Soul’ will rock ’n roll BY CANTOR RACHELLE NELSON

Not just another rock ’n roll Shabbat service, but something even more amazing! Cantor Rachelle Nelson has created the very musical and innovative new “Sabbath Soul” premiering at their very first Shabbat service at Temple Beth Am, 5950 N. Kendall Drive, on Friday, Nov. 4, at 6 p.m. The entire community is welcome to join us in an evening of musical spirit and joy that will send you singing and rocking out of our sanctuary doors. Sabbath Soul is comprised of amazing musicians, including John Baumgard on saxophone and flute, Fred Kettler on piano, Martie Grey on bass, Harvey

Saunders on drums, Hunter Nash and Lou Pearson on guitar, and Claudia Potamkin on guitar and vocals. What makes this Rock service different from all other services? This service will have soul music, a soul spirit, a soul sound and a soul congregation. The melodies are warm and inviting, the rhythms are a mixture of soft and soothing and then pulsating and stimulating. The readings selected for the service will be thought provoking and poetic. At the conclusion of services, the band will break out into the soul music of the ’60s, allowing everyone to sing and dance and make new friends. Please join Temple Beth Am on Nov. 4 for “Sabbath Soul” and let’s lift our spirits together with the magical power of soul! For information, call 305-667-6667, ext. 140.

Cousins Danny Roblejo (left) and Eddie Aja opened Primos in Pinecrest a year ago.

BY LINDA RODRIGUEZ BERNFELD

For years, cousins Danny Roblejo and Eddie Aja wanted to go into business together. About a year ago, their quest became serious and they researched a variety of franchises they could buy into. “We loved the barber shop experience,” Roblejo says. However, they didn’t like the franchise barber shops they researched. Instead, they decided to open their own shop and call it Primos. They found a location in Dadeland Plaza, 9497 S. Dixie Hwy., and opened in August, 2010. The shop has already built a steady client base. “When you go inside, you feel comfortable, relaxed and at home,” Roblejo says. “The old-style barbershop chairs and staff are comforting and immediately put you at ease. The haircut includes the shampoo and a neck and shoulder massage. Most haircuts take 30-40 minutes.” The four barbers in the shop can render any style of haircut and they are equally good with the razor. And then there is the highlight of going to a barber shop — the hot towel shave. “It’s a fantastic experience; every man who hasn’t had a hot towel shave should make it to Primos to get one” Roblejo says. The cousins say they wanted their shop to be a more upscale type of barber shop, a place where men could go to relax and feel comfortable. “A place where they don’t feel rushed, where the music is great and the company is great,” Aja says. “If they want to watch TV, every one of our chair stations has a flat screen TV.” Because they wanted everyone to be comfortable, the cousins brought top-of-the-line barber chairs.

“We want men to look forward to getting a haircut,” Aja says. Not only did they want to make Primos a good experience for clients, they have worked hard to make it a good place for barbers to work. “We started out with two barbers and we still have those two barbers, which is kind of an anomaly in the industry,” says Aja. “That’s the strength my cousin and I can provide. We don’t look at the barbers as a number. We treat them fairly.” Primos now has four barbers and they have been interviewing for more. Aja says they are being very selective in who they chose. “We want them to be up to the task and we want them to get along with the other barbers we have,” Aja says. “When you work in the same space, it’s imperative that you get along. That’s very important to us.” The cousins are adding manicures to the service offerings at Primos, as well as hair coloring. The barber shop carries moisturizers, eye creams, sun screen, lip balm and deodorant. They also have brushes and shaving products. Product lines include Truefitt and Hill and American Crew. Starting a business can be risky, especially in this up and down economy. But Primos was helped by a satisfied customer, Mitch Panter, of Panter, Panter and Sampedro. “About a year ago I wandered into Primos Barber Shop for an old-style haircut and a shave,” Panter says. “I walked out a new man. Primos has not only grown its business by word of mouth, but by being involved in the community. Primos joined the Pinecrest Business Association and became an instant hit with the group.” For more information, call 305-631-2646 or visit <www.primosbarber shop.com>.

We all know how tough dieting can be. The thought of letting go of those foods we love so much can be stressful and downright depressing. Here are the top 5 techniques to “cheat” on your diet. SPLITTING Buy that cheesy omelet and split it in half. Eat half and take the second half to go and have the second half a few hours later. You have just successfully cheated the system two meals in a row. You have managed to keep two meals within reasonable size without ordering the ever-tasteless “light” or “fit” omelet. CORING Pinch off as many chunks of the inside of that bread as you can without making holes. Better yet, ask the person making your sandwich to core it out for you and then toast it for an added crunch. Will it affect the flavor? Not one bit. WATER IT DOWN Drink water. Yes, it’s that simple. The more water you drink prior to a meal, the less space you’ll have in your stomach to have another helping of grandma’s anti-diet recipe.

TIMING This is the trickiest cheat I know because it has such a slippery slope behind it so pay attention carefully. The best time to eat that cheat meal is after your hardest workout. Your muscles cry for any nutrients they can get right after a workout in order to begin repair so a few treats here and there after a workout can be beneficial. HOWEVER, you still need to watch your portion sizes so go ahead and give the other 12 doughnuts back to the cashier. DO IT YOURSELF Cook your own meals. I realize the thought of cooking for your own meal may evoke memories of flaming pans and overcooked meat, but if you form a partnership with cooking shows, you just may survive long enough to enjoy a healthier meal made to your liking. There you have it. Five sure fire techniques to help you “cheat” on your diet, stick to your healthy eating commitment and save your sanity in the process!

Caring for the Elderly Simply dropping off a loved one at a hospital, nursing home or assisted living facility is not enough. Your elderly loved ones need your help, as these facilities suffer from underfunding and underemployment. Hospitals About one-third of hospital patients over the age of 65 develop delirium as a result of their stay. That rate more than doubles if the patient is admitted to the ICU. Family members are needed to help ensure that their loved ones maintain a regular routine, medication schedule and diet. Family members can provide additional monitoring and prevent serious complications by reporting any change in behavior. While hospitals have your loved one’s best interests in mind, it is extremely helpful to have an extra set of hands to get patients walking or repositioned to avoid bedsores. Family members can also help limit the risk of infection by requiring all visitors to wash their hands prior to contact. Finally, as an advocate for your loved ones care, you can doublecheck that all of the necessary specialists attend to their needs. Nursing Homes & Assisted Living The same guidelines apply to nursing homes and assisted living facilities. It is extremely important to check up on your loved ones regularly and provide them with a sense of comfort and support. Assisted living facilities are an important alternative to nursing homes that can help your loved one maintain a sense of freedom while under supervision. Still they hold inherent risks. Sometimes, the limited assistance required is not provided. As care is only provided part-time, it is difficult for staff to identify changes in a resident's behavior. Too often, facility staff fails to recognize behavioral changes early enough to prevent a resident's health from deteriorating. Pointers for protecting your family: 1. Keep a family member at the patient's side during a hospital stay whenever possible. 2. Make regular visits to your loved one in a hospital, nursing home or assisted living facility. 3. Stagger the visits including mornings, afternoons and evenings to visit with different shifts of health care providers. 4. Plan ahead. Consider private insurance coverage for extended care. 5. Be diligent in researching facilities for your loved ones before their admittance and stay fully aware of their medical condition and treatment. "Let our Family Help you and your Family."

2012 Range Rover Evoque smaller SUV with more versatility Ron Beasley AUTOMOTIVE EDITOR

LET’S TALK CARS Range Rover has added a new model to its 2012 SUV lineup, a good looking sport utility vehicle that officials are calling the smallest, lightest and most fuel-efficient SUV the company has ever produced. The all-new Range Rover Evoque — dubbed a premium compact — is a stylish vehicle with a sporting look, and true to the Range Rover standard of craftsmanship, luxury, performance and multi-terrain capability. There are two models, coupe and five-door, in three trim lines — Pure, Prestige and Dynamic. As for styling, Evoque has a bold exterior with a sloping roofline, but with a compact footprint. Inside the cabin, there’s a lot of room in both models, and the fivedoor format offers even more rear-seat space and practicality. Under the hood, there’s a smooth and responsive, four-cylinder gasoline engine

for power. But, the optional new state-ofthe-art 240 bhp, 2.0-liter Si4 turbocharged engine is worth the extra bucks. It’s a honey of a powerplant. With twin variable valve timing and direct injection technology, it has six-cylinder power and performance, but with four-cylinder fuel economy. With permanent all-wheel drive and an updated six-speed automatic transmission it delivers excellent performance, clocking 0-60 mph in 7.1 seconds. On the road, Evoque handles with agility across any terrain, and with Adaptive Dynamics with MagneRide it has allweather, multi-terrain capability. And there is generous ground clearance, aggressive breakover and departure angles to make off-road driving an enjoyable experience, enhanced by the latest version of the company’s signature Terrain Response system for steep hill climbs or descents. On the inside, the roomy interior of the five-door Evoque was achieved without enlarging the footprint of the coupe; the overall length and width are the same. As for comfort, consumers may specify soft premium leather and tailored twin-needle stitching for a luxurious finish to every surface of the instrument panel, doors and

seats. The five-door model offers greater headroom for all occupants and a glass panoramic roof is a delight for cruising. The rear seats have seat belts and head restraints for three passengers, 60/40 folding rear seats and are equipped with ISOFIX child seat mounts. Luggage capacity can be expanded to a substantial 51 cubic feet. Connectivity options include Bluetooth hands-free mobile phone and audio streaming, plus a range of USB and auxiliary inputs for iPod and other portable devices. Evoque is the first Range Rover

model to offer high-end sound systems developed in partnership with audio specialist Meridian. The premium Meridian offering is an 825W, 17-speaker system that delivers the ultimate in surroundsound performance. Pricing on the 2012 Range Rover Evoque starts at $45,000.

Are You Accredited? BY HELEN SHAHAM Q:: We are looking for an Assisted Living Community for my parents. We looked at several but since recently there have been so many horror stories in the newspapers we are afraid to make a wrong decision. What shall we be looking for in making a decision? A:: First you must visit personally (but without your parents) every community you are considering. Meet the staff, talk to residents you meet along the tour, learn about the community’s services and experience the surroundings. Stay for dinner and an activity. Try to imagine your parents in that environment. After a couple of hours you will have a “gut feeling” about the community. If your “gut feeling” is positive, you will wonder if what you saw is a “one time show”, or does the community runs like this consistently every day… This is the critical question! In order to know the answer to this crucial question you must ask if the community is accredited. If the community is accredited by an independent body, you can be sure that what you saw on your tour is truly the way the community functions on a daily basis. In other words, you can be certain that what you were promised will be delivered. One of the best measures is accreditation by the nationally-recognized Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). Similar to the “Five Star” rating for the finest hotels, a CARF certification is the highest level of accreditation awarded to an assisted living community. CARF is an independent, nonprofit organization delegated to promote quality, value, and optimal service for assisted living communities throughout the nation. A consulting process critiques communities, centering on ways that can enhance the lives of those who reside in them. Founded in 1966, CARF established consumer-focused standards to help measure and improve the quality of assisted living programs and services. To achieve this accreditation, a community must meet high standards of excellence as determined by an independent survey by CARF of the community’s total facilities. The Palace Renaissance & Royale and The Palace Gardens recently received CARF accredita-

tion that documented perfect conformance to 1,089 questions in multiple categories of standards established for quality living. To receive this distinguished rating, The Palace volunteered to undergo a rigorous, on-site inspection and peer review by a survey team to ensure that its programs and services are measured by the accountability demanded by CARF for a three-year accreditation period. The process involved a “person-centered” approach to how well care is performed, by interviewing both residents and family members. In this regard, CARF commended the staff on for both its excellence and concern for residents. Commenting especially on the welcoming, friendly environment of the community and the sense of satisfaction shared by residents and staff, CARF confirmed the dedication of The Palace to provide exceptional care and services to its residents and their families in a homelike atmosphere. So by all means, ask “Are you accredited?” in your next visit to an assisted living community. It’s an excellent way to help ensure choosing the right community for your parents. If you have questions about the lifestyle changes that go with aging, or if you’d like to be invited to a social event at The Palace, please send a note to Helen Shaham, The Palace Suites, 11377 S.W. 84th St., Miami, Florida 33173, or email helen@thepalace.org.

Helen Shaham and her husband, Jacob, have been operating Senior Living Communities for more than 30 years. The Palace Suites in Kendall is a luxury Independent Living Community for active seniors. In addition, The Palace at Kendall campus is home to two Assisted Living Residences and a Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. They also operate The Palace Gardens Assisted Living Community in Homestead, Homestead Manor Nursing Home and The Palace @ Home, a Medicare Certified Home Health Agency. Their two latest projects are The Palace at Weston – Luxury Living for Those 55 and Over and The Palace Tel-Aviv, a Continuing Care Retirement Community in Israel. Currently under construction is The Palace at Coral Gables, which is now taking reservations at the Information Center at 16 Miracle Mile. The Palace at Weston Senior Living, an independent, assisted and memory support community is the next in line. More information can be obtained by calling 305-271-2220 or by visiting The Palace website at www.ThePalace.org.

Wines

Al Arte De Vivir, 2007,Ribera del Duero, Spain A wine that steps up to the palate. Blackberries, sweet spices, great texture and mouth feel. Enjoyed with cold Lamb and Aged Manchego at lunch and at $ 14.99 a steal. This is the big brother of Vivir de Vivir and a big step up in Quality. 91 points by Wine & Spirits

401k, 2009, Chardonnay

He did spend his 401k on getting the Winery of the ground, thus the name. Gold in color, tastes of orange, ground nuts and apricot. Good acidity and a full finish. Medium to full body, try it with Chicken Piccata as per P.J. Hoffman the owner.

Robert Mondavi, Oakville, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2008 What a wine, needs a couple of hours in a decanter or a few years in the cellar. 93% of the grapes for this wine come from the famous To Kalon vineyard. This is always one of my favorite Mondavi Cabs, measuring close to their reserve wines at a much better price. Nothing like a NY Strip steak, sautéed mushrooms and truffle mashed potatoes to make it shine. The 2007 did not measure up to my expectation, so make sure you get the 2006 or 2008, $39.98 at my local wine Store in Pinecrest. Got a 94 score!

Drink of the week THE FRENCH MARTINI

1 ½ oz Grey Goose Vodka, ½ oz Chambord Liqueur, 3oz Pineapple Juice Shake with ice and strain into martini glass. Garnish with raspberries.

Let the real Cult Wine stand up and take a bow. Let’s talk about the label; it looks like someone is doing a copy. I’m surprised the ATF in Florida let that slip. The taste, you can’t compare the two. The none vintage wine with the brown label tastes like a good $12.99 California Cabernet. Can’t find out the production numbers or if it is 100% cabernet. As for the implied claim that the Salvestrin family had something to do with this wine, is anyone’s guess, they could have. For a fair assessment I tasted a 2003 Salvestrin Napa Cabernet and the two were totally different. Searched the Salvestrin Winery web site, no mention of this wine. The problem I have there is no real information out there about this wine, so that I could verify the number of cases made, what really is in the bottle and where it came from. When you make a claim that this is a “great Cult wine at a reasonable price”, put some facts on the web site or someone at the store that has the answers. The Black bottle Cult is a different story. Made by Beau Vigne winery, the 2008 Cult Cabernet was the inaugural vintage, Robert Parker gave it a 92 score. Winemaker Niles Venge crafted this, only 400 cases were made. A purple wine overwhelms your mouth and hits you with dark fruit such as Black Cherry, Blackberry with hints of Licorice and Smoke. The finish just keeps coming. If you like this style, what some people call the Parker style, then this is for you. At $79.99 this is not an everyday wine. As for calling it a cult wine, maybe, this one is getting close to the big boys out there and for the first vintage a great start…. Go to www.beauvigne.com and learn more about this hot Winery.
