EDITORIAL CORRECTION Due to a reporting error, a mistake appeared in the July 2017 issue of Coral Springs News, in the article about City Commissioner Lou Cimaglia. (pg 32) The correct information is that he and his family moved from Rhode Island to Broward County in 1956 because his mother had a serious arthritis condition. The July 2017 story incorrectly reported that Commissioner Cimaglia himself had a serious arthritis condition. The newspaper apologizes for the error.

FINANCIAL / TAX ADVICE RobeRt Spielman, Cpa, JD

SOCIAL SECURITY – JUST THE BASICS While the viability of our Social Security system continues to be called into question, retirees and soon to be retirees, need to understand what their rights and benefits are. The Social Security program provides a basic living standard to millions of American, while providing some return for more affluent participants who have paid significant dollars into the system over their working lives. The Social Security website, its publications, and numerous accountants and financial advisors are great sources of information on the system and how to maximize benefits. Because of the myriad of rules and complexities in claiming benefits, it is imperative that claimants educate themselves about what alternatives are best for them. In future columns we will address some of the Social Security issues facing soon to be retirees and provide specifics on what issues need to be explored before making a final determination. For now, the basics.

HealtHcare associates of florida, inc

The Social Security program is a critical safety net for millions of Americans. The benefits supplement private individual retirement programs, disability programs, and in certain cases death benefit programs. The U.S. Social Security Administration administers the program for millions of participants. During our working lives we pay significant monies into the Social Security system, as do our employers. However, to qualify for benefits, we generally have to work for at least ten (10) years, that is forty (40) quarters, to be eligible for retirement benefits. Your basic Social Security benefit is based upon your highest thirty-five (35) years of earnings. So if you actually work for only forty (40) quarters, for the remaining quarters up to thirty-five (35) years, your earnings calculation is based upon zero earnings. The Social Security Administration makes available to all wage earners an annual earnings statement, which you can secure from their website if you do not receive one by mail, that shows what your earnings are and projects your benefits. This statement indicates what your benefit might be if you claim it early or at full retirement age. Some important things to note:

1. The annual retirement benefit calculation is based upon a maximum taxable wage base for each year. Therefore, even if your income exceeds the maximum wage base, your benefits will be limited to a calculation based on this number for each applicable year. 2. If you retire before full retirement age and continue to work, you will lose one dollar in Social Security for every two dollars you earn over a specified amount. 3. You may be eligible for different types of benefits, but you can only collect under one category at a time. For example, if you worked and paid Social Security taxes for more than ten (10) years, you will have your own worker’s benefit. If you are married, you may be eligible for a spousal benefit. In addition, if your spouse dies, you may be eligible for a survivor benefit. It is important to properly plan when to start receiving benefits, so as to claim the maximum benefit under either of these three (3) alternatives.

Cover Story

Celebrating 25 Years C elebrating its 25th season serving South Florida, Dance Theatre continues to provide our community with excellence in dance education. Winners of both the prestigious “Best of the West” and the coveted “Reader’s Choice” awards for the past several years, its unique combination of love and learning has allowed Dance Theatre to dominate the local dance landscape. So what is it that makes this place so special? Why do dancers of every age, skill level and ambition seek to make Dance Theatre their home away from home? “It’s simple, really,” says owner Michelle McGrath Gerlick. “We hire the best instructors in the business, provide our students with only the most current training techniques, and most importantly, treat every child who walks through our doors as if they were our very own.” “Awards are nice, and our trophies are beautiful,” Michelle continues, “but that’s not what we strive for. We shoulder an enormous responsibility with our promise to educate. It is incumbent upon us to do it thoroughly. We train exceptional dancers, yes, but we also help to raise exceptional young women (and a few men). Our staff is teeming with strong, positive, intelligent role models, and we care deeply about the impact we have on these children’s lives. When a parent tells me their daughter has flourished since enrolling, I melt. When past graduates return to say we helped them find success in life, as with dance, nothing can compare. That is why we do this.” Clearly, people have taken notice. With four schools in Broward (including their new Plantation Promenade location), one in Wellington, and yet another in Sandy Springs, Georgia, Dance Theatre has grown into the largest school of its kind anywhere in the Southeastern U.S. It is also home to DTC, a dance company over 150 strong, which performs at amazing local venues like Miami Heat, Miami Dolphin, and Florida Marlins games, as well as distant venues like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City, and this year a performance on board the Serenade of the Seas for Royal Caribbean. In addition, Dance Theatre boasts the national champion DTX Competition Team, an elite group of dancers who challenge all the best from other schools. DTX just returned from the Onstage America National Finals in Orlando where they achieved the highest scores in nearly every category. In addition, the title of Miss Junior Onstage America went to Karly Cohen, Zoe Ratner was named Miss Teen Onstage America, and Chiara Gonzalez, the reigning Miss Senior Onstage America, once again received the highest score in the Senior Solo division. We call that a Clean Sweep. If any prospective dancers still need convincing, consider this… Dance Theatre is so good that it has attracted the attention of some other South Florida heavyweights. Most recently, the Miami Dolphins asked

Coral Springs Vice Mayor Dan Daley By Dale King

oral Springs City Commissioner and Vice Mayor Dan Daley has been kicking around the political arena a lot longer than most people his age – 27.

“One of my favorite things is to visit schools and talk to students. I ask them if they feel they are affected by government. Most of them raise their hands and say ‘no.’ Then, I ask them, ‘Do you have a driver’s license? You got that from government. You have to pay for gasoline, which means you have to pay taxes on it.’”

“I’ve always been interested,” said Daley during an interview in City Hall. First elected to the City Commission in November 2012, to fill the unexpired term of a member who resigned, Daley was reelected without opposition in 2014. He received the title of vice mayor in November 2015 and was reappointed a year later.

He hopes the message sinks in. A resident of Coral Springs since 2001, he attended local public schools, including Coral Springs Middle School, Westglades Middle School and Stoneman Douglas High School before heading off to college. He is currently commissioner liaison to the Coral Springs Charter School Advisory Committee, among other panels.

A lawyer by trade, Daley is a graduate of Florida State University, with cum laude honors for a bachelor’s degree in political science and criminology. He was the first in his family to graduate from college. At FSU, he served with the US Air Force as a contracted cadet with the Reserve Officer Training Corps. He has also been involved with several charities that support soldiers currently serving in the armed forces, as well as their families. He also served more than 10 years with the Civil Air Patrol, the US Air Force Auxiliary.

Vitally interested in economic development, he serves on a committee that deals with that sector. Daley is also very happy that Coral Springs’ first “downtown” is beginning to develop at the corner of Sample Road and University Drive.

Coral Springs City Commissioner and Vice Mayor Dan Daley. (Submitted photo)

Daley received his juris doctorate from Nova Southeastern University’s Shepard Broad College of Law. He is a member of the Florida Bar and is currently a practicing attorney in the Fort Lauderdale office of Shutts & Bowen LLP.

A plan for downtown development has been gathering dust for years. “It’s older than I am,” he said. Helping to get that effort back on track is a new city hall now under construction, practically across the street from the current municipal center on Sample Road. City offices are currently in two buildings, and Daley, looking up from his chair, said, “This one is ready to fall down.”

The future politician was brought into The new city center is apparently giving the government sphere as an intern with life to other commercial efforts. “The city former State Rep.

ven as 2017 begins, Rosemary Krieger of boca Raton is still in shock, she admits, from an event that took place in late 2016.

Lynn Women’s Health & Wellness Institute. (Photo by Dale King)

when a shaky, stunned and teary-eyed Rosemary reached the podium, she thanked the nearly 1,000 people in the audience at the 29thAnnual woman Volunteer of the Year Luncheon & Fashion show at the boca Raton Resort & club. she had particularly kind words for her husband, ben, longtime partner in giving, and her three children who flew in from around the country: sons Kenneth, from New York and gregory, from Delaware, and daughter, catherine Krieger-Nelson, from Dallas. “I’ve gotten flowers, emails and calls,” said Rosemary in a recent interview, her smiling face still beaming with excitement. “i didn’t expect to get the award. i am still in shock.” many in the audience were themselves in tears as they stood and applauded Rosemary, whose beneficence has helped dozens of nonprofits, from AVDA (Aid to Victims of Domestic Abuse), the YmcA, march of Dimes, george snow scholarship Fund, wayne barton center, st. Jude church, boca Helping Hands and Florence Fuller child Development center, to name a few. Education and Arts Leadership

Among those at her table was AVDA executive Director Pam o’brien, who nominated Rosemary for the award. “she is a true giver who thinks of others before herself,” said O’Brien. “She wants to make sure that women and children in need have a safe place to go.”

the generous lady from boca has a simple philosophy about giving. “You don’t think about it, you just do it. I has to come from the heart.” coincidentally, barely a month after receiving the honor, Rosemary has jumped back into an AVDA cause. she is on the committee planning the Feb. 21 “Heart of a Woman” luncheon fundraiser at the Boca Resort. The speaker will be Michelle Knight, one of the three women abducted, imprisoned and repeatedly raped by Ariel castro at his home in cleveland. Nabbed by the suspect between 2002 and 2004 were Knight (who has changed her name legally to Lilly Rose Lee), Georgina DeJesus and Amanda Berry. They finally escaped in 2013 when Castro was captured, tried and sentenced to life plus 1,000 years in prison. He committed suicide behind bars.

Summer Nearing its End How quickly the summer is flying by! August is here and that is not just a sign that summer is nearing its end—in municipal government August means the budget process is ramping up and the City is close to finalizing the funding priorities for next year. August is by no means the beginning of the process. In March and April the Parkland Commission and key staff members participated in two strategic planning sessions to discuss what was most important to the residents of our City. If you are a regular reader of this column, you know those strategic planning sessions are where Mayor Hunschofsky your elected Mayor and Commission share ideas—many of which come from interaction with residents. Your input does matter. In June we received our preliminary tax base numbers, and we learned our final assessment numbers in the beginning of July. By mid-July the City’s millage rate and non-advalorem assessment rate had been established. Now we are reviewing the budget and we will have a Commission meeting workshop on August 16th to further discuss the budget. It isn’t until two public hearings in September (on the 13th and 22nd) that this process comes to an end in time for the new budget to be set in motion with the start of the new fiscal year on October 1st. Then, five months later, the process starts again with the strategic planning process. Why is there so much time, effort, and energy put into the budget process? Because the budget is where we fund our priorities and we pride ourselves in being responsible stewards of the public’s money as well as the public’s trust. You may have read that the City of Parkland Department of Financial Services recently was awarded the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada. This award is given based on adherence to nationally recognized guidelines for an effective budget presentation. These guidelines are designed to assess how well the City’s budget serves as a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide, and a communications device. So as you can see, we take the budget process pretty serious in Parkland. Finally, as we near the end of summer, I would remind everyone to ensure a safe school year for our City. Be a careful and courteous driver on and around school property and obey all crossing guard commands. Please avoid all distractions while driving and help us keep our children and residents safe. As always, I want to hear from our residents—whether about our budget process or any other matter. Feel free to reach out to me anytime at chunschofsky@cityofparkland.org. Enjoy the rest of your summer and be safe as we head back to school. www.CityNewsMagaziNe.CoM

Hope everyone is having a great summer so far. It’s hard to believe school starts again in just a few weeks! Speaking of our schools, I want to congratulate our ‘A’ rated schools. Our Coral Springs Charter School received an ‘A’ rating for the 14th consecutive year and we couldn’t be prouder. We also congratulate Country Hills, Eagle Ridge, Imagine Schools at Broward, Park Springs and Marjory Stoneman Douglas for their ‘A’ ratings. We are very excited to unveil our new City Flag, designed by one of our longtime resident’s Dale Williams. Be on the lookout because you’ll soon see it flying proudly at City facilities. It’s been a busy time in Coral Springs. While none of us are fans of the traffic, all the road construction happening throughout the City is paving for the future. A water main is being replaced along Sample Road between University Drive and Coral Hills Drive. Soon, the work will be complete and they will be resurfacing the road. In addition, work along NW 110th Ave. continues and we will be adding bike lanes, curbs and 5 -foot sidewalks. In addition, many of you have asked about the roadwork on Wiles Road, which is a County project and is expected to be completed by June 2018. Please know that we are working hard to get all these projects completed on time. Again, I want to thank you all for your patience during this time. To honor the victims and heros of this national tragedy, join us on Saturday, September 9 at 7 a.m. at the Coral Springs Northwest Regional Library for the “September 11th Remembrance 5K.” You can pre-register on Itzevents. com for $25 for adults or $15 for participants 18 and under. Take a trip around the world with us to Cuba at the City’s annual International Dinner Dance on Saturday, September 23 at 7 p.m. at the Coral Springs Marriott at Heron Bay. Guests are encouraged to wear multicultural dress at the event which will include lots of food, dancing, and live entertainment for all to enjoy. Tickets are $60 and available on a first-comefirst-serve basis. For more information, call 954-344-1005. If you would like to meet with me to discuss any City issues, feel free to visit during my office hours. I hold office hours the second Tuesday of every month from 4 to 6 p.m. at City Hall in the City Commission Office. To make an appointment, please call 954-344-5911.

‘Reading with Friends’ Creates Lasting Friendships By Nicol JeNkiNs

eading can open doors to another world and enhance further academic success for many children. Though all children deserve the opportunity to enjoy literacy, children with special needs may be excluded from reading programs due to a variety of factors. That is no longer the case. The Friendship Initiative, which develops programs to enable children with special needs and typical children to learn from each other and connect as friends, has started a new program called Reading with Friends. Created by certified speech-language pathologist Samantha Novick, Reading with Friends pairs children of all abilities with local student volunteers to break down barriers and make reading fun. They will meet once a month on Sundays at The North Regional/ Broward College Library, located at 1100 Coconut Creek Blvd., Coconut Creek. “The mission is to create a more inclusive and accepting environment that allows children of all abilities to enjoy literacy while building friendships,” said Novick, Vice President of Operations at The Friendship Initiative. As a speech-language pathologist, Novick has seen the challenges for some children with special needs when it comes to reading. “I often work with children who are inadvertently excluded from activities like reading groups and story time because of the current barriers that exist. These barriers include prolonged sitting time, reduced opportunities for participation, and a lack of understanding from the community,” said Novick. “Research shows that literacy skills are critical for language and academic success. It didn’t seem fair that the clients I treated, and others like them, might not have the same opportunities that I did when I was growing up. I wanted to create a reading program for children of all abilities.”

She finds it gratifying to be able to make a difference in the children’s lives. “I am fortunate to have a very rewarding career that enables me to work with these wonderful individuals and their families. I love giving back to them -- and they have given so much to me. Knowing that I have this opportunity to make a difference, it’s very fulfilling,” she said.

The reading program will benefit all involved. The program not only assists the children with special needs, but also promotes personal growth and a greater perspective for the student volunteers. The program strives to benefit the families of the participants as well, who can find comfort in knowing that an inclusive, literacy-enriched environment exists for their children. “Every participant will be paired with the same volunteer

For the participants, we want to make reading a fun experience and immerse them in the community. The program is also impacting the families and helping them enjoy inclusive environments for their children,” added Novick.

Often mentioned in the narrative of patient’s family history during their initial visit are the longevity of their parents or grandparents, especially if they live beyond their 90s. The longevity or lifespan of their ancestry while is an interesting insight into assessing their general genetic makeup, but it is their “healthspan” I often pay more attention to, in another word, the general well being in the last few decades of their life. The term life span is familiar to most of us which can simply means the duration of existence of an individual. The term dates to the 19th century and continues to be useful in phrases like “the average life span of American in year 2000’s vs 1900’s” and “things people can do to increase their life spans.” A better way to assess a person general well being is lifespan’s relatively new frequent companion: healthspan. A person’s healthspan is the length of time that the person is healthy—not just alive. This relatively new health concept given the technological advancement we have developed in the last few decades is best illustrated by a quote from John W. Rowe and Robert L. Kahn in the 90s“A revolutionary increase in life span has already occurred. A corresponding increase in health span, the maintenance of full function as nearly as possible to the end of life, should be the next gerontological goal.” Modern health technologies can literally prolong a patient’s life from a few more weeks by the intensive care provided in a hospital’s intensive care unit to a few decades from invasive cardiac procedures and open heart surgery. While those are all marvelous lifesaving development greatly increase our lifespan, the modern day healthcare (may I dare to say “sick care”) often does not address or putting enough emphasize on the quality of life thereafter. Many literature devoted on end-of-life or hospice care often criticize that when the ending of a patient’s terminal illness becomes inevitable, the intensive care often prolong a patient’s suffering. Cardiac procedures do prolong and enhance a patient’s lifespan and quality of life but the added lifespan often get wasted without the equally important modified lifestyle education thereafter.

Healthspan is living a healthy long life and it is a lifelong lifestyle quest to prevent or delay natural deterioration from the diseases of aging and skirt any man made environmental degradation. It’s a discipline embedded into our everyday life. The earlier we start, the better shot we have of making a large cumulative effect over the course of our lives. The specifics of how to best mitigate the damaging effects of aging, is subject to a little bit of individual variation as a consequence of each of our little genetic variation. While we cannot change the basic makeup of our individual genetic composition, there is a lot we can do by lessen the damaging effects by the environment. A well balance nutrition can have a positive effect on healthspan and possibly even longevity. In some cases, it might mean optimizing our diet around inclusion of specific nutrients of anti-oxidants to reduce the genetic damaging by oxidation in everyday living. Also, diet high in antiangiogenesis, the starving of cancers by cutting off its blood supply, now a proven cancer-fighting strategy in cancer clinics, is migrating to the grocery store and farmer’s market. Fortunately, many foods that’s high in anti-oxidant is also with abundant anti-angiogenesis as well such as green tea, ginger, turmeric, berries, broccoli sprouts and resveratrol (red wine extract). I am not going into detail on the food and health subject in here since it has been discussed multiple times in my prior articles. Of course, don’t forget to establish a daily exercise regiment (30 minutes, 5 times a week), may that be a mild to moderate paced walking, participating in your favorite sports or even better- learning a new sport to enrich your brain cells and laying out new neural pathways (to diminish the effect of cognitive decline of aging). As usual, always discuss with your doctor.

“Varicose Veins are more than skin deep”

BY RACHEL GALVIN

ur body does so much day in and day out, and most of that work goes unseen. Our veins have an important job, carrying our blood back and forth to our heart only to be pumped out again. As we age, this daily toil can become more apparent as veins reveal themselves like road maps, especially on our legs. When they become deeper and wider, such as the case of varicose veins, that is when it can be cause for concern. Not only can varicose veins be unsightly, but they also can be a signal that something else is happening within the body to cause them. Each vein has a tiny valve that helps it do its job, but there can be leaks and the valve can malfunction causing the blood to back up and the vein to bulge. Sometimes, having varicose veins can mean the person with them has cardiovascular problems. Many people will seek out a doctor to get rid of the unsightly veins, but sometimes the doctor they consult with is more of a plastic surgeon or dermatologist and does not probe deeper to understand the root cause of the issue. But Dr. Ariel Soffer, M.D., FACC, knows “varicose veins are more than skin deep.” He is board certified in cardiovascular disease and, for over 20 years, he has focused his practice on aspects of the cardiovascular system, especially varicose veins. According to company spokesperson Adam Kustin, people who have issues with their veins often complain of achy legs or numbness, among other symptoms. In order to ascertain the underlying problem, patients who come into our office undergo an ultrasound. “You and I can walk in and both have the same degree of problems with our veins] and there is no way to tell [the underlying issue] based on the surface,” says Kustin. “It is important to see a doctor.”

sclerotherapy, we inject a saline solution and the blood is magically redirected. It depends on the severity,” he says. “The laser is super accurate and highly effective. It is a low risk procedure.” Compression socks might be used in recovery as well, Kustin adds.

He said that one of the big culprits is inactivity. “When you are on your feet eight to 12 hours a day, not moving ... inactivity is the biggest culprit, or sitting with legs crossed...It also can be genetic,” he says. Mr. Kustin explained that exercising and elevating your legs periodically will help with blood flow. He also recommended compression socks, which he said act like a reverse funnel redirecting blood to the heart. Also weight management is important. The procedure to fix varicose veins can be relatively simple. Most procedures involve closing the vein, sometimes repairing it. “If it is a secondary or tertiary vein, we can close it up; a laser heats it and clamps it shut. If we do

Besides working with veins, The Soffer Health Institute also handle other cardiovascular issues, including primary care, everything from allergies to working with weight management. They work with senior care and also have a concierge service, which allows patients basically to “pay for play,” getting special services like having no wait time, obtaining greater access to the doctor, getting an annual physical and more. Dr. Soffer also keeps his staff up-to-date with the latest medical developments and shares his knowledge on an ABC News Health segment called “Dr. Soffer’s Second Opinion,” and elsewhere. FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE CALL

954.246.4555 Soffer Health Institute began in Aventura and now there are several locations, including one in Deerfield Beach at 1877 W. Hillsboro Blvd. They plan to open a Weston location next. Members of the staff speaks Spanish, Russian, Hebrew, Creole and Portuguese. For more information, call 305-792-0555 or visit www.sofferhealth.com.

COMMUNITY NEWS

Coral Springs native serving at U.S. Navy missile defense site in Romania By Cmdr. morgan murphy, navy offiCe of Community outreaCh DEVESELU, Romania – A Coral Glades High School graduate and Coral Springs, Fla. native is part of a new and unique Navy command providing critical missile defense to a large part of Europe.

Back to school shopping is underway, but some children will head back to the classroom without much-needed, basic supplies. The City is collecting school supplies for economically disadvantaged children in the community through August 15.

Seaman Recruit Giovanny Ruiz is a master-at-arms serving at Naval Support Facility (NSF) Deveselu, one of the Navy’s newest commands defending against the threat of ballistic missiles.

Some of the items needed include: pens, pencils, crayons, double pocket folders, composition books, backpacks, tissues, hand sanitizer, rulers, scissors, glue, loose leaf paper, etc.

A Navy master-at-arms is responsible for policing the base and protecting it against terrorism.

“Through the help of City staff, volunteers and the community, we can give these children the supplies they need to be properly prepared for the school year,” Volunteer Services Coordinator Kim Sanecki said.

“The best thing about my job is learning a new experience every single day, things you can’t do in the civilian world,” said Ruiz. NSF Deveselu is the first Aegis Ashore Missile Defense Facility placed into operation, providing support to NATO’s overall ballistic missile defense system. Commissioned in October 2014, the installation is home to U.S. Navy sailors who work with their Romanian partners to defend against the threat of a ballistic missile attack. “The importance of our sailors’ mission in Romania can’t be overstated,” said Capt. Jon Grant, commander NSF Deveselu. “Because we are here, our combatant commanders have a lot of flexibility to position their sea-based missile defense assets where they’ll have the largest strategic impact, and that wouldn’t be possible without our sailors stepping up to the plate and knocking it out of the park 24/7, 365 days a year.” Assigned to U.S. 6th Fleet, sailors are on watch throughout the European region and are important assets supporting the European Phased Adaptive Approach to enhance the security of that area of the world from ballistic missile, according to Navy officials. Navy personnel at NSF Deveselu are supported in their efforts by forward deployed units in Rota Spain, such as the Arleigh-Burke class guided-missile destroyers USS Ross, USS Porter, USS Carney and USS Donald Cook. Having four destroyers based in Rota gives the U.S. 6th Fleet flexibility to send these ships to a variety of locations for a range of missions, while at the same time providing a large umbrella of protection for European allies. Approximately 200 officers and enlisted men and women are stationed in Deveselu. Their highly-specialized jobs are critical to mission success, according to Navy officials. “I love it here in Romania. It’s a different part of the world that few people get to see,” said Ruiz. Living abroad is challenging, Navy officials explained. The young men and women are highly motivated, and quickly adapt. The sacrifices are worthwhile to ensure the safety of our allies and loved ones back home. Supporting this important mission, Ruiz explained that he and his fellow service members know they are part of a legacy that will last beyond their lifetimes. “Serving the Navy means everything to me. My sister is a Marine and my brother is going through submarine school,” Ruiz said. “We’re trying to make it the family business.”

LEGALLY SPEAKING REAL ESTATE BYLINE BY ANDIHERE WITES

The Price is Right …and I’m not talking about the Game Show

ery often in my articles I discuss the importance of pricing a property right. Almost every prospective home seller will ask me, “If a buyer likes a property, will they still make an offer if they feel it is too high?” I can tell you from my many years of experience that in most cases the answer is NO. Here is why and here is the proof. If a buyer feels that a property is priced too high then they are comparing it to other homes that they are viewing and also to homes that they have researched as sold recently in the areas they are concentrating on. Most every buyer is very well informed in this age of information. Instead of the prospect of fighting with a seller to accept a reasonable offer, buyers will make offers on more competitive offerings, simply put, properties that offer more for less. Buyers feel that if a seller has over priced their property they may just be unrealistic and not truly motivated to sell. Sellers are afraid to underprice their home. Sellers are afraid of not having room to negotiate. Sellers are often very emotional about their property at a time when objectivity is crucial. Determining value is the key before marketing. The CMA or Comparable Market Analysis performed by a competent Realtor will provide recent closed and pending sales. This is the benchmark for

what the market value is within a certain community or subdivision. Factors such as age, size, lot location, updates, upgrades are valued to arrive at a property’s probable sale price. Active listings are also considered and their length of time on the market. I recently took a listing at a price of $499,900. The house showed very well and the owners worked very hard at staging it with me. It was picture perfect for every showing. The professional photography made it look like a million dollars on all of our 725 web sites. After testing the market with this price for four weeks we obtained 17 showings and no offers. Feedback that was received after every showing and agent opinions at our Broker’s open houses, all pointed to the fact that buyers could not perceive the list price. After all these showings, low interest rates and strong demand for homes, but no offers, the sellers agreed to an aggressive price reduction that now made the home much more competitive with homes in the subdivision. This tactic, known as energy pricing is marketing at a price that will produce excitement from the many potential buyers that are stalking the Internet for a property they perceive is a good value! When buyers perceive a good price they will act. And

act they did! We reduced the price $30,000 to $469,900. This strategy enables sellers to price right and get their price, close to it, or even above! Energy pricing often gets multiple offers, which is what I told the sellers when I presented them with the idea of the new list price. And that is exactly what happened! On a Friday afternoon we reduced the price, the traffic was constant and within five days we had four offers to choose from. One buyer from out of town, who saw the activity and loved the wonderful floor plan and location, made an offer over list price. This scenario is not made up, nor is it rare. Hope is not a strategy. Good marketing and good pricing bring great results. Andrea “Andi” Wites has been a local Realtor in Coral Springs and Parkland resident for 38 years.

ituated between the crystalline waves of the Atlantic Ocean and the tranquil waterways of the Intracoastal lies the Diplomat Beach Resort. At the very heart of Hollywood, FL, the freshly renovated hotel allures travelers near and far as it captures the ebullient spirit of South Florida. Whether for business or for leisure, all guests gather to this iconic hotel for the unforgettable experiences that embodies the character of the Diplomat Beach Resort. From the 1,000 reimagined guestrooms scaling 39 floors to the numerous redesigned eclectic restaurants, the Diplomat’s $100 million transformation further brings the resort effervescent and sea-accented atmosphere to life. The beautiful changes, although dramatic, still echo the hotel’s proud roots; roots that kindled and nurtured the experiential spirit of the Diplomat into what it is widely known as today, a destination for play and for comfort. “We are excited to introduce a revolutionary way to vacation through the introduction of the newly redesigned Diplomat Beach Resort. We have created a destination for all travelers, offering unparalleled experiences through [specially designed] programming, dining destinations, and spaces meant for celebrations,” said Shai Zelering, Managing Director and Head of Asset Management at Thayer Lodging Group, Brookfield Hotel Properties, the owner of the resort. “The Diplomat Beach Resort is now the area’s go-to resort, bringing locals and travelers together at the epicenter of Hollywood, FL, to indulge in specialty services and amenities rooted in local inspiration with impeccable designs.” City News Publishers Jerry and Lucy Spielman this past month had the honored opportunity to enjoy these new offerings at the Diplomat Beach Resort. “As soon as we walked through the door, we were welcomed by the friendly staff. Our guide was especially accommodating as she was happy to guide us around the all-inclusive resort. The Diplomat Beach Resort treated us like royalty in both their impeccable service and exemplary cuisine. Their distinct features are both lush and plentiful as they make a great weekend getaway or extended stay for travelers near and far.” Although there are certainly many, perhaps one of the most significant features of the expansive hotel is its unmatched variety of amenities for “happy, genuine, and memorable vacation experiences”. Throughout the lavishly adorned beachfront resort, are two grand pools overlooking the serene landscapes of the Atlantic, opportunities for paddle boarding and kayaking along the soothing waters of the ocean, and an all-inclusive 24-hour fitness center paired with a full-service spa that exudes relaxation. “Following a brief run at the gym, I entertained myself with a visit to the spa. I was treated with a rejuvenating facial and soothing massage and I honestly could not have asked for

experience unmatched in the local area offering a romantic warm ambiance and sublime flavors crafted throughout each course.” a more fantastic time. What really sets this spa apart is how well the staff orchestrated the whole experience. I felt as though I were their only client, despite the fact that they were also taking care of other people. Everything from the vibrant oceanfront views to the attentive staff provided for a spa worthy of the highest accolades,” says Lucy Spielman. Although the adults are certainly entertained with a wide expanse of activities whether they are stopping by the Hotel Bar for a modern take on internationally inspired cocktails or speeding along the shores on a jet ski, the Diplomat also offers numerous activities for the active youngster. From sand castle building and poolside games to bounce houses and behind-the-scenes resort tours, younger guests ages 4-12 are always delighted and supervised at the fun-filled, Diplomat Kids Club. Guests may come for the warm sun kissed weather and calming ocean breeze, but they will certainly stay for the food. Now offering 10 innovative and enticing eateries, the Diplomat Beach Resort has become one of South Florida’s most prominent culinary destinations. The extensive range of restaurants are driven by world class chefs from Geoffrey Zakarian and his carefully curated Coastal American cuisine at Point Royal to Monkitail, celebrity chef Michael Schulson’s take on the Japanese izakaya concept. Schulson’s restaurant seems to particularly be a crowd favorite as Lucy describes her meal as “an unforgettable

With crustacean delicacies like fresh Florida stone crab claws and lemon dressed poached Maine lobster at Point Royal to a more casual dining experience at Bristol’s Burgers, the Diplomat offers an assortment of delectable flavors that caters to all tastes. After an illustrious day of eating and exploring at the Diplomat, guests may choose to unwind resting upon the silken sand to the pacifying lull of the Atlantic or they can choose a different route and liven up the night with some soulful karaoke. Hidden behind the dimly lit glass lanterns and wooden beams lies Nokku, the hidden karaoke bar. Nokku features numerous private rooms that offer small parties the opportunities for their most spirited renditions of their favorite songs. The rooms are also soundproof (probably for the better) so everyone is free to sing to their heart’s content. Whether guests are giving it their all in a stirring performance of “Don’t Stop Believin’” or simply admiring from the sidelines, Nokku is sure to delight. Jerry Spielman, a frequent visitor at the Diplomat Beach Resort in his teenage years is nothing short of amazed by the vacation destination the hotel has come to be. “I am simply overwhelmed and impressed by the new renovations. The Diplomat truly captures the vivacious spirit of South Florida and has really put itself back on the map. People often travel the world seeking the idyllic vacation destination, but with the Diplomat, it is all here right in our backyard.” www.ciTynewSMAGAzine.coM

LEGALLY SPEAKING BY ALAN J. REINDFELD, ESQ

Is the future of Estate Planning Electronic Wills?

ecently, the Florida Legislature passed an Electronic Wills Act, allowing for both electronic Wills and also changing the notarization statute by allowing electronic notarization. It is important to note that this Act was not proposed into law by the Florida Bar Real Property, Probate, and Trust Section. This law was introduced by a Technology Firm called Willing. This Bill was vetoed by Governor Scott, but it provides an interesting perspective on the future of Estate Planning. A Last Will & Testament has several formalities, including: a will must be in writing, signed by the testator (person creating the Last Will & Testament), and witnessed by at least two people. The testator must has testamentary capacity to make the Will. The Real Probate, Trust, and Law Society of the Florida Bar came out against this Bill for several reasons, but most especially the act of witnessing a Will signing via remote web camera technology, instead of having a physical presence. The problem with this is if a person is of diminished capacity (dementia, Alzheimer’s, or easily manipulated), it would be very difficult to discover if that person had been influenced prior to the signing, despite the safeguard questions that were added to the statute. This Bill would have also radically changed the notarization statutes, in allowing electronic notarizations. When I talk with a person creating estate planning documents, I always engage them in conversation for a decent amount of time. While I enjoy

small talk, this is more to establish a baseline on if the person is competent or not, if they have the capacity to make documents, and if they have been unduly influenced or not. If a person is distributing unequally to beneficiaries, this becomes more important. This is something that would not carry over with the Electronic Wills Act. There were numerous other minor issues with the Act’s electronic storage, as well as recording the Last Will & Testament. Today, Wills are almost electronic documents. All of my Clients’ Estate Planning documents are stored electronically, and we provide an electronic copy to our Clients if asked. The Uniform Law Commission is currently studying Electronic Wills, and when appropriate, will make a recommendation including bringing Estate Planning into the 21st century. Until that time, I believe that Governor Scott’s veto was the best way from preventing a rush into electronic Wills before adequate safeguards have been established.

Watermelon Rind Slaw

Watermelon Slice Ice Pops

www.CityNewsMagaziNe.CoM

liced or diced, grilled or blended, there are countless ways to prepare watermelon. With some fruits, half or more is wasted when you throw away the seeds and peel, but you may be surprised to learn that you can use an entire watermelon, including the rind, to make delicious and refreshing dishes. Most people think of watermelon as a sweet, juicy snack perfect for hot summer days, but with its high water content (92 percent), the fruit is more than just tasty. It’s also an ideal way to keep your body hydrated. What’s more, the ability to use the entire fruit makes watermelon one of the most versatile and value-conscious options in the produce department. An average watermelon consists of about 70 percent fruit and 30 percent rind. Hollowed out, the rind is an attractive way to serve any number of recipes, but the rind is actually edible, too, and can be stir-fried, stewed or pickled, or even enjoyed raw. This yummy slaw gets its distinctive crunch from the watermelon rind, which is packed with citrulline and arginine, two compounds that may aid in healthy blood flow. Watermelon is also a flavorful substitute for tomatoes, as shown in this traditional Italian appetizer, and contains higher levels of lycopene than any other fresh fruit or vegetable per serving, according to award-winning nutrition author and registered dietitian Elizabeth Somer. Additionally, it lends some sweetness to a spicy salsa and a refreshing twist on a summery salad. You can also try blending watermelon with other fresh fruits for a super smoothie or mixing it up with some adult libations (and don’t forget, you can transform the rind into a mini-keg in minutes; just add a pour spout). Find more ideas for using every bite of fruit, juice and rind at watermelon.org.

Watermelon Slice Ice Pops

Makes: 5-15 servings 5-15 watermelon slices, cut into triangular wedge shapes, about 1/2 to 1 inch thick, with seeds removed 5-15 ice pop sticks Insert ice pop stick into rind of each slice. Optional variation: After inserting sticks, freeze ice pops before serving.

Superfood Smoothie

Makes: 3 cups 2 cups cubed and seeded watermelon 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries 1 cup raspberry kefir 2 tablespoons orange juice concentrate 2 tablespoons hemp 2 tablespoons agave syrup ice (optional) Place watermelon, raspberries, raspberry kefir, orange juice concentrate, hemp, agave syrup and ice, if desired, in blender and blend until smooth.

Healthy Eatings

(Family Features) As temperatures climb and summer sets in, a slight change in diet can help maintain energy without overfilling on hot days. Vegan and vegetarian diets are becoming a popular trend, but many people are also opting to be semi-vegetarians, also known as the flexitarian diet. A flexitarian diet means you don’t have to eliminate meat from your diet but can still reap the health benefits associated with plantbased diets. Plant-based proteins like beans, peas, nuts, seeds, soy and lentils are chockfull of nutritional benefits from diseasefighting phytonutrients to cholesterollowering fiber. They’re also an excellent way to add low-sodium and low-cholesterol protein to your diet that can leave you feeling satisfied but not stuffed. Light finger foods and dips are ideal summer snacks. Hummus, made from chickpeas and tahini (ground sesame seeds), makes for a quick and easy treat by itself or paired with health-conscious options like air-popped chips, wholegrain crackers or veggie sticks. You can also create simple summer snacks using hummus as an ingredient. These vegan Cucumber Cups are the perfect refreshing pick-me-up on a hot afternoon, and they’re stylish enough to serve to guests at an upscale cookout. For a cool and creamy summer appetizer, try these vegetarian Southwestern Snack Bites made with hummus, guacamole and Greek yogurt.

snack your way through summer at sabra.com. Southwestern Hummus Bites Yield: 30 pieces 1 package (7 ounces) wholegrain bagel chips 1 container (10 ounces) Sabra Hummus 2 cups pico de gallo 1 cup guacamole 1 cup plain, low-fat Greek yogurt 4 green onions, sliced (optional) Top each bagel chip with 1 tablespoon hummus, small spoonful of pico de gallo, guacamole and small dollop of yogurt. Garnish with slices of green onion, if desired. Cucumber Cups Yield: 16 pieces 2 English cucumbers 1 container (10 ounces) Sabra Hummus 1 teaspoon paprika 1 bunch parsley, finely chopped Peel cucumbers and slice lengthwise into 1 1/4-inch pieces. Using melon baller, carve out seeds to create vessel, making sure to leave bottom intact. Using piping bag or small spoon, fill each cucumber with hummus (about 1 teaspoon each). Sprinkle with paprika and finely chopped parsley.

Start a Successful School Year with a Balanced Breakfast How a breakfast with milk can help lead the way to academic success

(Family Features) As kids get ready to start a new school year, moms are also getting back into the swing of a morning routine. One thing that can’t be missed? A complete breakfast! Research shows eating breakfast helps kids concentrate and focus at school, giving moms good reason to serve up balanced nutrition before that first morning bell. This back-to-school season, start the day off strong and pair your little one’s breakfast with a glass of milk. An 8-ounce glass of milk gives kids 8 grams of high-quality protein plus other essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D to the morning meal. Most days, finding time for a balanced breakfast may be easier said than done. One way to help alleviate the morning rush is to make breakfast ahead of time, so it’s ready to go before sending kids off to school. These make-ahead Protein-Packed Eggs in a Nest are simple and fun to make. Served with an 8-ounce glass of milk, they make for a delicious breakfast to help start everyone’s school day off right.

Find more nutritious recipes to pair with milk at milklife.com.

Why You Need Uninsured Motorist Coverage – And Lot’s of it – From Attorneys in the Courtroom Trenches You’re sitting at a red light, minding your own business when a drunk driver rear ends you - hard. Your head snaps, you have searing pain in your neck and your hand goes numb. You’re sitting in your car waiting for an ambulance, and you feel like you can’t move. You’re terrified and praying that you are not paralyzed. You have now joined the multitude of people who are rear-ended every day. Thank heaven you aren’t paralyzed, but you are badly hurt. You can’t work and the medical bills (and stress they cause) are piling up. You need neck surgery to stabilize your neck and to help reduce the pain. You’re worried that you’ll never work again and that you’ll be financially ruined. You understand that you need a personal injury attorney. You need your bills covered, your lost wages reimbursed and you feel entitled to something for the physical and emotional torment that the drunk driver has put you through. After all, your life was fine until you fell victim to someone else’s carelessness.

The bills roll in, and your own Personal Injury Protection insurance pays up to $10,000. What about the other $200,000 in medical bills and lost wages, to say nothing about the agony and distress this has caused you?

So you contact an AV-Rated (preeminent) personal injury attorney. The attorney quickly determines that the other driver had no bodily injury insurance that would pay for your losses. You’re shocked to learn that Florida doesn’t require bodily injury insurance. You also learn that a significant number of Florida drivers are either completely uninsured, or they are significantly underinsured. Your attorney asks you if you have uninsured motorist coverage. “Don’t worry”, you say. “My insurance agent says I have full coverage.” So, you call the agent, who tells you that you didn’t purchase uninsured motorist coverage. “What’s that,” you ask. Your agent tells you that you decided that you did not want to pay the premiums for this insurance even though it insures you and your family in case you get hit by someone without insurance or who didn’t have enough. You were willing to take the risk to save money. You’re shocked. “You thought you had FULL COVERAGE and that the risk was minimal. It was not. This is an all-too-common occurrence. We’ve seen it in death, severe personal injury and brain injury cases and, unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do to help these clients. To properly protect yourself and your family, you must buy uninsured motorist coverage. It will cover you if a drunk, distracted or just plain careless driver hits you or a family member who lives with you. It will pay for the injury caused by someone else. PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY. BUY AS MUCH UNINSURED MOTORIST COVERAGE AS YOU CAN AFFORD. If you have questions about your insurance coverage or if you’ve been injured in an accident, call Cutler Rader, P.L. at (954) 913-CASE (2273) or visit us at www.CutlerRader.com. We’re happy to talk and the consultation is free.
