Real people. Real stories. The Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Experience.

Jason “We have the most incredible trauma team.” – AMY, Mother and Pediatric Trauma Nurse Amy, a trauma nurse at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, had met the emergency helicopter many times before. But this time was different. This time, the patient was her 8-year-old son, Jason. While walking home from school, Jason had been hit by an SUV and suffered a head injury. He was airlifted to Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, where his mother and the trauma team waited. Amy’s experience, and her faith in her “phenomenal” colleagues, kept her calm. “We have the most incredible trauma team,” Amy says. “I knew Jason would be getting the best care.” Thanks to the team’s extraordinary expertise, and Memorial’s remarkable brand of patient- and family-centered care, Jason recovered beautifully. “I know firsthand how fortunate we are to have Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in our community,” Amy says. “I wouldn’t want my child to go anywhere else.” Real people.

$20,000 donation brings Hollywood Women’s Club closer to restoring historical clubhouse The hard-fought efforts of the Hollywood Women’s Club to save its historic clubhouse recently got an Caron Conway unexpected boost from Correspondent a $20,000 matchingfunds donation, and club leaders are hoping it will inspire others in the community to take up the challenge. For several years, members of the Hollywood Women’s Club have tried to raise funds to preserve its woodframe clubhouse – an important piece of the club’s history built in 1927 and a designated National Historic Site and Hollywood Landmark. Restoring the 83-year-old house in the North Lake neighborhood at 501 N. 14th Ave. will require a new roof, new foundation and pilings, plumbing and electrical upgrades, and various aesthetic improvements, all expected to cost between $125,000 and $150,000. Club president Shelly deMarco said fundraising efforts hit a speed bump when the economy took its downturn. “Last year we really worked hard and

The 83-year-old, Hollywood Women’s Club clubhouse requires an estimated $150,000 restoration.

barely saw $12,000,” she said. With an unexpected phone call in January came renewed hope for the restoration project. DeMarco said a Hollywood resident, who cares deeply about historic restoration and has a special interest in the Hollywood Women’s Club and the charitable work it has done in the community since its establishment in 1922, made the charitable donation.

The $20,000 donation “was her way of saying, ‘Get the job done. Let me help you,’” deMarco said. With the donor matching other contributions up to $20,000, the club’s fundraising effort is slowly beginning to take on new life. “People are stepping up,” deMarco said. “We’re trying to get the word out.” The club’s new donation challenge is part of a multi-prong Shelly deMarco approach that has included fundraising activities, clubhouse rentals and an online shopping program that donates a percentage of sales to the Hollywood Women’s Club. DeMarco figures that with the matching-funds donations the club will have about $90,000 in its restoration budget – still tens of thousands of dollars short of its goal. Phase 1 of the project – which included interior upgrades, beautification and the rebuilding of the clubhouse’s termite-damaged front wall, which was deflected inward during Hurricane Wilma in October 2005 – has been completed. In 2009, the City of Hollywood honored the Hollywood Women’s Club with the “Historical Preservation Project of the Year” award. The next part of the restoration process begins this month with the replacement of the clubhouse’s leaking roof. But the biggest part of the restoration is yet to come. While the frame of the 1,700-square-foot, Classical Revival-style house is sound, it was built on sludge and is in need of a new foundation. The clubhouse will have to be raised in the air while 25-foot-

deep pilings are erected and the entire foundation is replaced. “That’s our big challenge, to make the money for that,” deMarco said. A recent minor setback, in which vandals smashed four clubhouse windows, has only strengthened the resolve of members to preserve the charming meeting place that deMarco calls “our heart and soul,” a happy space where local women gather to do good for the community. “It really is the spirit of the Women’s Club,” she said. “It’s a center for the community, actually – for charitable work, for socialization, for networking.” The mission of the Hollywood Women’s Club is community improvement through volunteer service. The club, which helped establish Hollywood’s first public library, has raised money through club activities for numerous charities that include Kids in Distress, Women in Distress, Broward Outreach Shelter, the Salvation Army, Born to Read Program, Hacienda Girls Ranch, Canine Companions and college scholarships for teenage cancer survivors. The Hollywood Women’s Club, part of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC), boasts 92 members ranging in age from their early 20s to their 90s. Meetings are held at 6:30 p.m. on the second Wednesday of the month and a day group meets one Thursday each month. Membership is open to all women, although the majority live in Hollywood. Annual dues are $40. The Hollywood Women’s Club hosts a variety of fundraising activities, from twice-monthly ballroom dance classes to special events such as the Spring Market Place, which will feature antiques, “junktiques,” collectibles and new and used merchandise from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, March 27 on the clubhouse grounds. Vendor spaces are available for $20 for members and $30 for nonmembers. DeMarco said members of the Hollywood Women’s Club know “what needs to be done” to preserve their beloved clubhouse. “We have the players in place. We’re ready to go,” she said. “We just need the money.” For more information on making a donation to the Hollywood Women’s Club, renting the clubhouse, club membership, upcoming events or a discounted online shopping program to benefit the club, call 954-925-9394 or visit www.HollywoodWomensClub.org.

Chamber of Commerce member recognized for 54 years of service During the Greater Ft. Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce’s Centennial Meeting last month, the Chamber honored Elsie Johns, of Melina’s Lingerie Shoppe on Hollywood Boulevard, for 54 years of Johns dedication to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.

100,000 sq. ft. farmer’s market opening delayed indefinitely By Jennifer Sandomir Slated to open in November 2009, the Yellow Green Farmers market ran into permitting violations, postponing its much-anticipated opening. Three months later, the market still needs to address many structural, fire and zoning permitting violations. Once opened, the 100,000-squarefoot-venue, located next to I-95 just off Taft Street, will house 300 vendor booths under cover and offer a wide variety of natural products ranging from produce and fruit to flowers and goods made by local artisans. As of Feb. 5, approvals for the project include plumbing, mechanical and electrical permitting issues, and disciplines that are not approved include structural, fire, zoning, engineering, and drainage/water/sewer issues, said Jaye Epstein, director of the Department of Planning and Development Services. Structural and fire codes that the market still needs to address include installing two fire hydrants on the eastside of the structure, creating an additional exit on the southeast side of the property, eliminating parking in the area of the Fire Department connections and locating it

near proposed gates on the west side, as well as four other revisions. The Yellow Green Farmers market must also address 16 zoning issues, which include landscape, curb, pavement and sprinkle system issues, Epstein said. In addition, the market must also provide a traffic study to determine what, if any, enhancements to surrounding roadways will be necessary to maintain adopted level-of-service standards. The market advertised its Nov. 8 grand opening for weeks, despite warnings from the City that the venue couldn’t open until permitting violations were addressed, and attracted more than 1,000 people hoping to shop the new Hollywood establishment. All were turned away at the entrance. Owner Abraham Lalo, who publicly stated his frustrations with the City of Hollywood, was out of the country and unavailable for comment at press time.

Three keys to burning belly fat 1. Stop doing long, low intensity, repetitive cardio exercise…this includes walking on a treadmill for 45 minutes or doing the elliptical machine for 30 minutes SHONDELLE SOLOMON-MILES while catching up on FITNESS COLUMN your favorite TV show. There are many disadvantages to doing this type of cardio: It’s boring, you don’t burn many calories, your metabolism doesn’t stay elevated and it’s boring. Instead of focusing on long bouts of slow cardio, increase your intensity so that you’re maximizing the number of calories you burn during your exercise sessions and most importantly after your workout. For example, sprint for 30 seconds and walk for one minute, repeating 10 times. (If you can’t sprint, walk on a steep incline.) Advantages of this high-intensity, interval workout include burning more calories during and after exercise, increasing cardiovascular capacity and much faster results. 2. Stop wasting money, time and energy on abdominal belts, rockers, loungers and other infomercial ab-gimmicks...Despite the misleading

infomercials, the perfectly chiseled fitness models in the commercials did NOT get their perfect body by using these magical ab contraptions. You cannot burn fat in a specific area of your body by simply exercising that area. This is called spot reduction and does not exist. In fact, you have no control over where your body burns fat. So instead of wasting your time doing crunches or using these devices, focus on exercises that strengthen your core and burn calories, such as planks, overhead squats and mountain climbers. 3. Stop Eating So Much Starch… starches include foods like potatoes, rice, bread, cereal and pasta. Most people consume way too much starchy carbohydrates relative to the amount of calorie expenditure. Your body stores a finite supply of carbohydrates in your liver and muscles. Once that supply is full, it’s full, and additional carbohydrate consumption will be stored as fat. Limit your starchy carbohydrate intake to mornings and after an intense workout session, and this still should not exceed 1 gram of carbohydrates per pound of bodyweight. Shondelle Solomon-Miles is the owner of Synergize! Studios in East Hollywood. For more information, visit www.SynergizeWeightLoss.com or call 954-924-4465.

Change the way you think about taxes Every year millions of people who prepare and file their tax return get a refund check. This annual filing obligation, along with millions spent on advertising tax CHARLES E. HOWELL preparation to get a FINANCIAL COLUMN fast refund, gives the perception that a tax refund check is a good thing. Many taxpayers get so caught up in the tax refund hype that they don’t even realize that part or all of the refund check is their own money. Utilizing FREE tax preparation software, a friend or family member or paying a tax preparer for a fast refund does not adequately apply the ever-changing tax system to your financial advantage. Studies show that taxes represent the single biggest expense over your lifetime. You need to take control of your taxes and take control of your money. Often I hear taxpayers make comments like, “My tax return is simple,” “My friend does it for me,” or “I only have a W2 and no other deductions.” These are signs that they don’t understand that if you want to reduce your largest lifetime expense,

then you need professional advice. This attitude has a negative outcome for the taxpayer. Today they avoid paying to file with a real tax planner but miss lowering the tax burden by hundreds or even thousands of dollars every year over their lifetime. We complain about today’s checking, saving, money market and CD accounts having dismal and awful interest rates. However, most taxpayers are delighted to receive back their own money and earn nada, zip, zilch, zero interest from the government. So why do so many taxpayers find it acceptable to let the government take and use your money all year long for free? Taxpayers have been taught to believe that a large tax refund is a good thing. When you change the way you think about your taxes, you will benefit from a larger net paycheck, a smaller tax burden and the power of investing. The simple truth about taxes is the less you plan, the more you pay! Charles E. Howell, CPA, PA is a tax planning and preparation company. Its focus is providing comprehensive, holistic advice to all your family tax, insurance, estate and life-long needs.

Bariatric Surgery

How does bariatric surgery work? Simple. The bariatric surgeon alters your digestive tract – the stomach and small intestine – making it impossible to eat much food in one sitting. There are two main types of surgery:

Molly

1) Restrictive Surgery (Lap band, stomach stapling or vertical banded gastroplasty). These procedures alter the size of the stomach to restrict calories. The size is reduced to the size of an egg using special staples or a silicone band. These are reversible and don’t fundamentally alter the anatomy of the digestive system 2) Malabsorptive Surgery (Roux-en Y). This is a two-part procedure. First, the surgeon reduces the size of the stomach, and second, the surgeon bypasses the first portion of the small intestine. This causes food to pass more rapidly through the digestive tract. So, even if the patient over-eats, fewer calories will be absorbed. The Success rate for bariatric surgery is very high. Also, high blood pressure is cured in 50 percent of patients, Type 2 Diabetes is cured in 80 percent, sleep apnea is cured in 75 percent, and shortness of breath is relieved in 80 percent. The cost of the procedure can be substantial, and not all health insurance plans cover it. There are risks to both procedures, but with experienced surgeons in an appropriate hospital, the risks are minimized. Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood has been designated as a “Center for Excellence” for bariatric surgery. There are free informational seminars offered on a regular basis for those considering the surgery. One group of surgeons I highly recommend has a very informative Web site at www. hollywoodbariatrics.com. Obesity is an extremely common problem and a very serious health concern. It goes far beyond cosmetics. It is an excellent reason to visit your doctor and begin a discussion. Richard J. Wilbur, M.D. is Board Certified in Internal Medicine. Dr. Wilbur practices at Safecare Medical Center’s Hollywood office, located at 4050 D Sheridan St., Hollywood, FL 33021.

We’ve got Hollywood covered.

“Life Changing and Life Saving” This month’s column is personal. I have a family member who I hope will consider bariatric surgery. I also work with a woman who had Richard J. bariatric surgery Wilbur M.D. three years ago. She health column is my nurse. She looks incredible, lost 90 pounds and considers it the best money she ever spent. She also is my patient and all of her medical conditions were “cured” by her procedure, and when she brings in “before” pictures, I have trouble recognizing her. There are an estimated 61.3 million (30.5 percent) obese adults in the United States, and 9.6 million morbidly obese adults. Obesity, a leading cause of death worldwide, is a condition where excess body fat accumulates to the extent that it adversely affects health. In a doctor’s office, a number called the body mass index (BMI) is calculated to determine obesity levels. Healthy values range from 18.5 to 24.9. Anything above 30 is obese, while anything above 40 is morbidly obese. Many common diseases are strongly associated with obesity. Life expectancy decreases by 20 years for a morbidly obese man and five years for a morbidly obese woman. The primary treatment for obesity is dieting and physical exercise, and antiobesity drugs may be tried. When these treatments fail, the last resort is surgical intervention or bariatric surgery. To qualify for bariatric surgery an individual must meet specific criteria.

Travis Bridges, 1st Team AllCounty in Offense, signed with the Naval Academy. Witney Sherry, 1st Team AllCounty in Defense, signed with University of Buffalo. Sandro Jean-Baptiste, 2nd Team All-County in Defense, signed with Southern University. Jamal Williams also signed with Southern University.

Hollywood teachers donate $3,000 sick pay to Haiti relief Teachers from Rainbow Montessori Pre-School in Hollywood, in combination with a parent-led fundraiser, donated $3,000 of their sick pay to UNICEF for Haiti relief efforts last month. The teachers came up with the idea as they struggled with how to make a bigger impact without having to upset what are often tight budgets at home. Gila Burke, director of Rainbow Montesssori, was happy to participate in the gesture.

The Supervising Director of the school, Schella Simmons, a Haitian herself, expressed pride and appreciation for the participation of her colleagues, some of whom are also of Haitian decent. “My people are suffering,” Simmons said. “I have family who have lost everything. Some didn’t make it. To know my colleagues are supporting my homeland fills me with emotion…really good emotions.”

Charles Takeh signed with Yale University. And Albert Gonzalez signed with Ohio Dominican. “These seniors led ChaminadeMadonna football with heart and passion this past season,” said Athletic Director Paul Herfurth. “They should be proud of their accomplishments both on and off the field.”

Miss Hollywood USA, Miss Hollywood Teen USA 2011 title holders crowned On Saturday, February 27, eight local delegates competed to earn Hollywood titles that will allow them to go on to compete in state and national pageants. Contestants were judged on interview, swim suit and evening gown performances. Independently produced by the Hollywood Jaycees, the annual event was held at the Hollywood Central Performing Arts Center.

Eight Chaminade-Madonna High School varsity football seniors signed letters of intent last month with colleges across the country to play college football. Demitri Beal, 1st Team All-County in Defense, signed with University of Cincinnati. Hans Louis, named Defensive Player of the Year, signed with University of South Florida.

Sheridan Hills Christian School recently sent one of its football student athletes to a Division I school for the first time in its six-year history. Senior David Delsoin, a 6-foot6 inch, 280-pound offensive tackle, signed a letter of intent to play at Florida International University, a huge accomplishment for both Delsoin and the school, said Sheridan Hills Head Coach Joel Dunn. “We’re a small, growing program,” he said. “We’ve sent plenty of athletes to play at smaller colleges but never to a Division I program. This represents where we’ve come from and where we are going.” In addition to Delsoin’s success, the Sheridan Hills Sharks Football Team has had three straight appearances in the playoffs and also won a district championship.
