REMEMBERING THOSE WHO SACRIFICED BY MAYOR ERIC H. JONES JR.
T
his month we will celebrate Memorial Day . This holiday was unofficially begun by women of the South during the Civil War when they placed flowers over the graves of the “men in gray.” In 1868, General John A. Logan, Commander-inChief of the Grand Army of the Republic, issued an order officially setting aside May 30 as “Decoration Day.” It has now become an occasion on which we remember not only those who have fallen in war, but also all our dead veterans. A few years ago a wall was built in Washington D.C. and on it were inscribed the names of the thousands who had died in the Vietnam War, perhaps the most controversial war in our nation’s history, but regardless of what people thought about that war, this wall memorial reminds us that thousands of Americans sacrificed their lives in that far-off place. Most of them were young people who wanted to hold on to life. Their names are on that wall. One of them was a MY young man whom I loved dearly—M BROTHER—a wonderful person and my best friend. I’ll never forget standing beside his coffin as he was buried with military honors. All of us owe these young men and women a great debt. Down through the years, in many wars, millions have sacrificed their lives for the cause of freedom, so it is fitting for us to remember them as a nation. I recall watching a video on the news that was profound in its message. Someone had taped a man standing next to the Vietnam War Veterans Memorial. His right hand was extended and he was gently caressing someone’s name that was etched into that wall. It was very moving. Over and again, he repeated these words: “He died for
me. He died for me.” Was it a brother? Was it his a father? Was it his friend? We will never know, but one thing is for certain—the man was visibly moved by the sacrifice of one man! The ability to remember is a wonderful gift God has given us. In a flash we can be a child again, skipping rocks across a pond, or walking in a meadow. Through memory we can fall in love, get married, and enjoy our children all over again. All this is possible through the blessing of memory. Some of our memories are happy as we recall wonderful experiences,
but some are sad make us weep. Memories are also very practical. If we couldn’t remember that a red light means “stop” we’d be in trouble. If you weren’t able to remember what day it is, or your anniversary or wife’s birthday – you’d be in big trouble. So memories are practical. Memorial Day, perhaps more than any other holiday, was born of human necessity. We need to remember. Deep inside all of us lies a fundamental desire to make sense of life and our place in the world. What we have been given, what we will do with it and what we will pass to the next generation is all part of an unfolding history, a continuum that links one soul to another. President Abraham Lincoln pondered these thoughts in the late fall of 1863.
His darkest fear was that he might well be the last president of the United States, a nation embroiled in the self-destruction of what he described as “a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure.” He began his remarks with those words as he stood on the battlefield near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on November 19th of that year. This speech which became known as The Gettysburg Address turned into what might be called the first observance of Memorial Day. Lincoln’s purpose that day was to dedicate a portion of the battlefield as a cemetery for the thousands of men, both living and dead, who consecrated that soil in the sacrifice of battle. Said Abraham Lincoln: “That from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause which they gave the last full measure of devotion...that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom.” WWhen I consider the power of this little narrative, I’m reminded of that Gettysburg Address, a speech given to dedicate a portion of the battlefield as a cemetery for the Civil War dead. It begins: “Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation: conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” The whole speech, from beginning to end, is only 272 words long. It took Lincoln barely two minutes to deliver, but what most people don’t know is that Lincoln wasn’t the only speaker that day. A man named Edward Everett, who was considered to be a great orator, came before Lincoln in the program and gave an address that lasted a full two hours. It contained over 14,000 words, and began like this: “Standing beneath this serene sky, overlooking these broad fields now reposing from the labors of the waning year, the mighty Alleghenies dimly towering before us, the graves of our brethren beneath our

REMEMBERING, feet. . . ” blah, blah, blah, etc., etc., etc. Now, let me ask you, which of those speeches is more familiar to us? Lincoln’s of course! Why? Because in just a few short sentences he captured the terrible significance of that occasion. It was not the actions of the living that would consecrate, or hallow, the ground, but the actions of those who had given their lives to defend it. I’ve always liked the story of the three old widows who lived together. One sister was going to bed and halfway up the stairs she stopped and asked, “Was I going up or was I coming down?” One sister replied with a hint of aggravation, “You were going up to bed.” A second sister headed into the kitchen to make herself a sandwich. Once in the kitchen she hollered back to her sister who was still downstairs, “What did I come in here for?” The sister responded again with a trace of irritation, “You went in to make yourself a sandwich,” after which she
Page 3
from page 1 said, “I am so glad that I am not as forgetful as the both of you are,” as she knocked on the end table. She then stood up and walked over to the door and asked, “Who is it?” Yes, we are a forgetful people, and from my vast experience I have concluded that forgetfulness is not a respecter of age. Therefore, we come up with all kinds of ways to help us remember, string around finger; post it notes, day planners, memory courses, etc. The truth be told, most of us do need a little help to remember. This month my article is a reminder for us to remember and honor those who fought and died to make America the country it is today—GOD BLESS THE CITY OF WEST PARK AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!

• • • MAY: A MONTH OF CELEBRATIONS • • • BY VICE MAYOR FELICIA M. BRUNSON A Tribute to Mothers, God’s Best Creation MMother’s Day is fast approaching; and it is my wish to honor my beloved mother and every profound woman that has been instrumental in my life, along with all the mothers in the West Park, this article is especially dedicated to them. Mothers are one of the best creations of God. She has amazing powers. She can multitask without complaining. She cares for everyone without any demands. Let’s marvel at the wonder called - Mother. By the time the Lord made mothers, he was into His sixth day of working overtime. An Angel appeared and said, “Why are you spending so much time on this one?” And the Lord answered and said, “Have you seen the special sheet on her? She has to be completely washable, but not plastic, have 200 movable parts, all replaceable, run on black coffee and leftovers, have a lap that can hold three children at one time and that disappears when she stands up, have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart, and have six pairs of hands.” The Angel was astounded at the requirements for this one. “Six pairs of hands! No Way!” said the Angel. The reply, “Oh, it’s not the hands that are the problem. It’s the three pairs of eyes that mothers must have!” “And that’s just on the standard model?” the Angel asked. God nodded in agreement, “Yes, one pair of eyes is to see through the closed door as she asks her children what they are doing even though she already knows. Another pair in the back of her head is to see what she needs to know even though no one thinks she can. And the third pair is here in the front of her head. They are for looking at her child and saying that she understands and loves him or her without even saying a single word.” The Angel tried to stop. “This is too much work for one day. Wait until tomorrow to finish.” The Lord replied, “But I can’t, I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart. She already heals herself when she is sick AND can feed a family of six on a pound of rice and can get a two year old to stand in the shower.” The Angel moved closer and touched the woman, “But you have made her so soft”. The Lord nodded in
agreement, “She is soft but I have also made her tough. You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish.” “Will she be able to think?” asked the Angel. In reply, “Not only will she be able to think, she will be able to reason and negotiate.” The Angel then noticed something and reached out and touched the woman’s cheek. “Oops, it looks like you have a leak with this model. I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one.” “That’s not a leak” in objection. “That’s a tear!” “What’s the tear for?” the Angel asked. God replied, “The tear is her way of expressing her joy, her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her loneliness, her grief, and her pride.” He went on to describe his creation: “Mothers have a special role. Mothers are not perfect, nor do they have to be! They all do the best they can in often very challenging circumstances. Mothers have a unique role to play in society using their special nurturing and people skills. They don’t get any (or very little) training and preparation for being a mother yet most instinctively know what’s right for their children. That’s impressive! In no other job would that be expected! Mothers have valuable skills. They are able to complete more than one task at a time, often several! Mothers are generally sensitive to others’ feelings and good at reading and using body language. They are also able to

see things from others’ point of view. They have strengths that amaze men. They carry children, they carry hardships, and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy. They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry. They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous. They fight for what they believe in. They stand up for injustice. They don’t take “no” for an answer when they believe there is a better solution. They go without new shoes so their children can have them. They go to the doctor with a frightened friend. They love unconditionally. They cry when their children excel and cheer when their loved ones get awards. They are happy when they hear about a birth or a new marriage. They are strong when they think there is no strength left. They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart. Mothers come in all sizes, in all colors and shapes. They’ll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you. The heart of a mother is what makes the world spin! Mothers do more than just give birth. They bring joy and hope. They give compassion and ideals. They give moral support to their family and friends. Mothers have a lot to say and a lot to give.” The Angel was so impressed. “You are a genius, God. You thought of everything, for MOTHERS are truly amazing!”
West Park — I am cognizant that while some people cel ebrate this day in the presence of their own mothers, some would be spending it with but a shadow of their mother’s memories, long buried yet never forgotten. My words of encouragement to all of you that your mother might have gone ahead yet will always stay in your heart forever a part of you. Now that won’t stop you from remembering her and honoring her in your thoughts. Nothing can ever take away the legacy of love your mother has bequeathed upon you, which has made you withstand the harsh blows that life after her demise, has given. So in commemoration of this day, dwell in your mother’s memory; delight in her presence in your heart; and take pleasure listening to her silent laughter and lov able voice in your mind. My heart’s desire to West Park is you have a blessed day with your mothers - this Mother’s day, and alwayswhether she is here or not. So join me in saluting all mothers, for the great job they do and have done! For they are all truly God’s Best Creation!

VFW POST 8195 CELEBRATES 51-YEAR ANNIVERSARY! The City of West Park congratulates the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 8195 of South Broward for their 51st year anniversary, which was celebrated on April 6, 2012. Vice Mayor Felicia Brunson and Commissioner Thomas Dorsett represented the City at the event and congratulated VFW Post 8195 on providing exceptional services for veterans and their families in our community. Other speakers included John H. Hatcher and Frenchie Shannon. Hatcher is a 91-year-old WWII Veteran and Pearl Harbor Survivor. Shannon was a Tuskegee Airman. Both these gentlemen spoke accolades about their military experiences. Bobby White, Commander, and Mrs. Coreen Pitkin, Junior Vice Commander, hosted the event. The Color Guard was presented by the VFW Post 8195 Ceremonial Unit directed by Philip Davis. The invocation was given by Wendell Wimberley, the Chaplain for the post. Ms. Ruth Brown, Senior Vice for the Ladies Auxiliary, presented a special recognition to the district VFW members and all the ladies who belong to the auxiliary. The history of VFW Post 8195 was presented by Marvin
Price, who gave an outstanding perspective of VFW Post 8195’s origin and where they are now. The Veteran Stone of Hope, a military outreach center funded by the United Way of Broward County, has been operational for the last ten years assisting Veterans and their families with all their entitlements and benefits. Over the last two years, VFW Post 8195 has focused on helping the new generation of veterans with all their readjustment issues, which is approximately 1500 veterans who served in Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). VFW Post 8195 members have developed some wonderful partnerships with the Urban League of Broward County, Henderson Behavior Health, 211 of Broward, Workforce One, the Fort Lauderdale Vet. Center, Nova Southeastern University, and many other
community based organizations. The VFW’s hours of operation are from 9am to 5pm, Monday through Friday with evening hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7pm to 9pm. For more information, please contact: Bobby White (Commander), Philip Davis (Ph.D. Therapist), Lavern Stephens (Program Coordinator), Danny Shannon (Intake Specialist), Alvin Harris (Volunteer), or Hugh Hood (Volunteer) at 954-987-6089.

Never Too Old To Play! BY VICE MAYOR FELICIA M. BRUNSON MAY IS OLDER AMERICANS MONTH
Older Americans Month is an annual month-long observance that occurs every year in May. Older Americans Month is an annual event that honors older Americans and celebrates the contributions they have made, and continue to make, to the nation and their communities. Older Americans Month was first established in 1963. In April 1963, President John F. Kennedy met with the National Council of Senior Citizens to learn more about the needs and concerns of older Americans. Following that meeting, President Kennedy issued a presidential proclamation designating May as Senior Citizens Month, encouraging the nation to pay tribute in some way to older people across the country. Since then, it has become a tradition that is repeated every year. President John F. Kennedy designated May as Senior Citizens Month, which was later renamed Older Americans Month. The month of May is a perfect opportunity to show our appreciation for the older adults in West Park. This is a proud tradition that will show our commitment to celebrating the contributions and achievements of older Americans. The theme for Older Americans Month 2012—Never Too Old to Play!—puts a spotlight on the important role older adults play in sharing their experience, wisdom, and understanding, and passing on that knowledge to other generations in a variety of significant ways. This year’s celebrations will recognize the value that older adults continue to bring to our communities through spirited participation in social and faith groups, service organizations, and other activities. It encourages older Americans to stay engaged, active and involved in their own lives and in their communities. As large numbers of baby boomers reach retirement age, many communities have increased their efforts to provide meaningful opportunities for older adults—many of whom remain physically and socially active through their 80s and beyond. Current trends show that people
over age 60 account for an ever-growing percentage of participants in community service positions, faith-based organizations, online social networking as well as arts and recreational groups. Lifelong participation in social, creative, and physical activities has proven health benefits, including retaining mobility, muscle mass, and cognitive abilities. But older adults are not the only ones who benefit from their engagement in community life. Studies show their interactions with family, friends, and neighbors across generations enrich the lives of everyone involved. Young people who have significant relationships with a grandparent or elder report that these relationships helped shape their values, goals, and life choices and gave them a sense of identity and roots. While we at the City of West Park provide services, support, and resources to older Americans year-round, Older Americans Month is a great opportunity to show special appreciation for some of our most beloved citizens. We have many reasons to celebrate them! Join me and the entire City Commission and staff as we join in the national celebration of Older Americans Month 2012 with activities and events to promote intergenerational engagement and recreation. We invite you to join in the fun! To find out how what programs we offer to our Older Americans please call our Parks and Recreation department at (954) 9851990 or call Enith Mulkey at the Family Success Center (954) 357-5650. Remember to contact me at City Hall with your ideas, suggestions or concerns. I represent you and appreciate your input into the continued success of our beloved city.

Students and Seniors Field Day From the Parks and Recreation Department During a recent one-day camp and senior activity day, we took both children and seniors on an unforgettable field trip to the Old Dillard African American Research Library and Cultural Center. Participants were able to engage in activities depicting the historical contributions of AfricanAmerican and enjoyed cultural exhibits on display. It was an interesting visit for all involved because it allowed the seniors to guide the youth and enjoy activity with children in a historical context. This allowed for a truly enriching learning experience that connected both age groups.

Fighting Depression in Seniors BY KENNETH KRONHEIM Licensed Psychotherapist
We all face many changes as we grow older. Examples include retirement, the death of friends and loved ones, increased isolation, or medical problems. All of these reasons can lead to depression. If left untreated, depression affects much more than just mood. It can impact your physical health, impair your memory and concentration, and prevent you from enjoying life. There are many steps you can take to overcome depression, no matter your age or the challenges you face. Your brain continues to change throughout life, so it’s never too late to make positive changes and experience the joy of your golden years. Depression: a problem for many older adults and the elderly Depression is a common problem in older adults. The symptoms of depression affect every aspect of your life, including your energy, appetite, sleep, and interest in work, hobbies, and relationships. Unfortunately, all too many depressed seniors fail to recognize the symptoms of depression, or don’t take the steps to get the help they need. There are many reasons depression in older adults and the elderly is so often overlooked:
happy and vibrant life. Causes of depression in older adults and the elderly As you grow older, you face significant life changes that can put you at risk for depression. Causes and risk factors that contribute to depression in older adults and the elderly include: • Health problems – Illness and disability; chronic or severe pain; cognitive decline; damage to body image due to surgery or disease. • Loneliness and isolation – Living alone; a dwindling social circle due to deaths or relocation; decreased mobility due to illness or loss of driving privileges. • Reduced sense of purpose – Feelings of purposelessness or loss of identity due to retirement or physical limitations on activities. • Fears – Fear of death or dying; anxiety over financial problems or health issues.
• You may assume you have good reason to be down or that depression is just part of aging.
• Recent bereavement – The death of friends, family members, and pets; the loss of a spouse or partner.
• You may be isolated—which in itself can lead to depression—with few around to notice your distress.
• Exercise. Physical activity has powerful mood-boosting effects. In fact, research suggests it may be just as effective as antidepressants in relieving depression. The best part is that the benefits come without side effects. You don’t have to hit the gym to reap the rewards. Look for small ways you can add more movement to your day: park farther from the store, take the stairs, do light housework, or enjoy a short walk. Even if you’re ill, frail, or disabled, there are many safe exercises you can do to build your strength and boost your mood—even from a chair or wheelchair.
• You may not realize that your physical complaints are signs of depression. • You may be reluctant to talk about your feelings or ask for help. Depression isn’t a sign of weakness or a character flaw. It can happen to anyone, at any age, no matter your background or your previous accomplishments in life. Similarly, physical illness, loss, and the challenges of aging don’t have to keep you down. Whether you’re 18 or 80, you don’t have to live with depression. Senior depression can be treated, and with the right support, treatment, and self-help strategies you can feel better and live a
Tips to combat depression in seniors
• Connect with others. Getting the support you need plays a big role in lifting the fog of depression and keeping it away. On
your own, it can be difficult to maintain perspective and sustain the effort required to beat depression. You may not feel like reaching out, but make an effort to connect to others and limit the time you’re alone. If you can’t get out to socialize, invite loved ones to visit you, or keep in touch over the phone or email. • Bring your life into balance. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by stress and the pressures of daily life, it may be time to learn new emotional management and emotional intelligence skills. • Get enough sleep. When you don’t get enough sleep, your depression symptoms can be worse. Aim for somewhere between 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night. • Maintain a healthy diet . Avoid eating too much sugar and junk food.
Choose healthy foods that provide nourishment and energy, and take a daily multivitamin. • Participate in activities you enjoy. Pursue whatever hobbies or pastimes bring or used to bring you joy. • Volunteer your time. Helping others is one of the best ways to feel better about yourself and expand your social network. • Take care of a pet . A pet can keep you company, and walking a dog, for example, can be good exercise for you and a great way to meet people. • Learn a new skill. Pick something that you’ve always wanted to learn, or that sparks your imagination and creativity. • Create opportunities to laugh. Laughter provides a mood boost, so swap humorous stories and jokes with your loved ones,

Maintaining And Beautifying Our Parks And Roads BY LORRAINE TAPPEN AICP, Senior Planner
An important function of cities is ensuring capital improvements are planned to maintain existing neighborhoods and provide for future development. On April 4, 2012, the City of West Park City Commission approved an update the Capital Improvement Element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan – the document that guides land development over the long term. Florida statutes require that the City update the Capital Improvements Element annually. The Capital Improvement Element includes projects in the City’s Capital
Improvement Plan that are important to West Park’s quality of life. Such projects include the McTyre Park Master Plan which will guide installation of new park amenities, and traffic calming projects aimed at slowing traffic to project our children and residents. Other projects in the Capital Improvements Element include transportation improvements planned by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) such as bus shelters and bus benches. This Capital Improvement Element update is another example of how the City of West Park plans and provides for existing and future development and positive progression!

The Best Pizza in South Florida... Shari Lynn Rothstein-Kramer EAT THIS... DRINK THAT
So many of us who now live in South Florida originally hail from up North – New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut – and when you are born and raised there, pizza is a part of your life. You grow up on it. From the time you can chew, you’ve eaten the pie. A slice and a diet coke is one of the most satisfying meals in the world. So, we come down here and we expect to find the same, right? Why wouldn’t amazing pizza abound? The pizza makers from up North move down here and they have to work, so they do what they know best – they open a pizza place. It has to taste equally as delish as what they created there. It makes sense, doesn’t it? Well, in a logical world it certainly does…but logic and reality don’t always go hand in hand. As a matter of fact, sometimes, they couldn’t be farther apart. Like, in the pizza that exists in Florida. I have been here for 11 years and have eaten many a pie, praying that someone would really get it right. I’ve tasted and nibbled – and the success would be limited. Living in Aventura, we have access to everywhere. We are centrally located and many towns are just a carried away. So, after driving as far as Boca for a good slice (my sister Lauren swears by Brooklyn Brothers in Boca), I was thrilled to recently stumble upon the best new place in town – King’s County Pizza. Before I get blasted out of town, let me mention that I was a faithful Steve’s Pizza eater for years prior to finding King’s County. I still love Steve’s – it has the sweetest sauce I’ve ever tasted, and, for those of you who like sweet sauce, it will always rule. A slice of Steve’s is big enough for a meal. Ninety percent of the time, it has the right amount of crunch, the right amount of chew, enough cheese, enough sauce…and so on. Sometimes, like anyplace, they can miss. But now, let’s move on to my new favorite – King’s County. My office is on West Dixie highway. I drive from 186th to my office every day. One day, a sign went up. My husband, who’s always on the lookout for good food, already knew. He was onto it. He tried it while I was away. He loved it. I am always skeptical, but hey, if you don’t try, you don’t know. But I wanted to know, so when I walked back into the office from an appointment I had, I figured I’d order and see what the office had to say. But they beat me to the punch – it was already there just waiting for me. I looked at the box. It looked like pizza. But the smell…so doughy, so saucy, so utterly mouthwatering. “Don’t ask questions. Just eat it,” my husband suggested. Who was I to argue? I reached into the
box and pulled out a slice. A bit smaller than I’d hoped. But I reserved judgment. I sniffed. It smelled…spicy. I took a bite. And another. The cornmeal dusted bottom presented a nice texture. It was light but not too light. It was cheesy but not too cheesy. It had a hint of spice; a slight bite, but not too much bite. It was good. No, actually, it was great. But one time is not enough to guarantee perfection so the next day we ordered again. It came perfectly cooked with a few bubbles on the crust and the perfect amount of crunch, cheese, sauce and heat. I ate a slice. And then another. But when I went back for my third piece, I realized that I had hit pay dirt! I had found the pizza of my dreams. It was everything I could hope for – and it is in walking distance of my office. So I stopped in to check it out. The people seemed nice. It wasn’t jam packed, nor was it empty so I knew the food was moving (and therefore fresh) but I didn’t have to wait. Within minutes I had my pie and I was ready to eat. Since then, which was a few months ago, I’ve tried many things on the menu. A purist, a cheese pie is always the way to go for me, but the Sicilian (square, lighter, thicker dough, which is available on Friday’s only) is so satisfying. My favorites, of course, include chicken parm, which I have eaten many times and it’s always delish. Pure white meat is the key. Each dish comes with pasta – ziti or spaghetti in King’s County red sauce. I am not a big pasta fan, but rest assured – if they send it, I will eat it - all. Wings, calzones, and Stromboli are all first class, packed with just the right amount of stuffing to fill you up but not overdo it. Love them. The eggplant, which is typically my “go to” dish, is usually great. I’ve had a few close calls, where the eggplant is a bit thick and gets kind of chewy, but more often than not, it is a vegetarian’s delight. The good thing is that when I did have those out-of-the-ordinary occurrences and I called, it was addressed and taken care of immediately. Owners Tara Dolinski and Rob Rodriguez are always on-property cooking and caring for their customers. The two originally came down from New York to buy a house because “his friend lived here,” explains Dolinski. “Instead, we took my life savings and bought a pizza place.” And it’s a good thing they did. King’s County Pizza is my one “fast-food” style indulgence. It is hands-down the best pizza I have eaten in South Florida. There are lunch specials, coupons, and a variety of pizzas, square pizzas, salads, heroes, and dessert (they make a killer cannoli). You can eat in – they just turned the store at the end of the strip mall into a lovely dining area - pick up, or they’ll deliver to you. Doesn’t matter how or where you get it, just make sure you eat it! (Shari Lynn Rothstein has been writing about food, wine, lifestyles and fashion for more than 20 years, in New York and Florida.
