“Every day that goes by, I am more grateful my mother is living at The Palace.”
There’s no doubt this pandemic makes every Senior and their family think about the best place to be. For many Seniors, living alone is no longer a good option. And for most families, living all together is now even more difficult. That’s why The Palace communities have become the best choice for so many. And if you are interested in the Weston area, your timing is just right. The new Palace at Weston will open in early 2021. It is designed and built to offer the latest in 24/7 health care, as well as the safest and most enjoyable environment. In addition to a fully-trained and certified on-duty staff, we are also just around the corner from the Cleveland Clinic. When The Palace was voted the #1 Senior Community in America, it was because we offered the lifestyle everyone wanted. Now we’re proud to also say, we have the safe and secure lifestyle everyone needs.

PUBLISHER’S PAGE
The President Isn’t the Only One Who Takes an Oath of Office
L
ike many people, I have been troubled by the state of politics in our country. Disagreements over policy or governing philosophy have been replaced, in part, by raw anger and even hatred. By the time you read this article, the presidential election will likely be over and we will either be preparing for a new president or four more years of the current administration. Regardless of who is elected president, he will recite the same oath that every commissioned officer in the United States military does. It is the same oath that I recited in 1993 when I was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Marine Corps and it will be the same oath that future presidents, generals, and ensigns will give. What I find most remarkable about this oath is the fact that our presidents and military officers swear loyalty to a document. They promise to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States.” The commitment of our officers and presidents isn’t to the president, a monarch, a party, or even the people of the United States. They swear allegiance to a piece of paper; to the very idea of America. I am optimistic that years from now, we will be able to collectively look back at this time in our history with a shrug and a sigh knowing that we, as Americans, are more alike than different. And, that the diversity in our society is part of what makes our country great. In the meantime, it is heartening to know that the quarter of a million commissioned officers in our military will continue to serve the constitution and not one man, regardless of his party.
Sincerely,
Terry Jaillet

FEATURE STORY
Coldwell Banker’s Sklar Team Adds ZONA WEST to Growing Portfolio in Davie BY CHRISTY JAILLET oldwell Banker Realty’s Sklar Team was selected to market the brand new subdivision Zona West in Davie. Located just east of I-75 on the SW corner of 148th Avenue and SW 14th Street, the exclusive luxury home development marks yet another milestone in the Sklar Team’s continuing expansion. The project’s marketing efforts will be led by Rose and Dean Sklar. Zona West will begin delivering homes in the spring of 2021 with a starting price of $1.45 million. The Sklar Team was the natural pick for the project because of their longtime production and market dominance in the West Broward market and because of their recent expansion into Fort Lauderdale. Cooperating with The Thomson Team, with a strong pull from the SE Miami areas of Coral Gables and Pinecrest as well as the islands of Miami Beach and Key Biscayne: together using their extensive sphere of past buyers and sellers and their creative and comprehensive marketing programs, they were the best choice to both market and occupy the site for maximum coverage. Cody Sklar, The Sklar Team’s new Team Leader will assist with the management and marketing efforts, using creative and comprehensive marketing programs through Coldwell Banker’s Global Luxury department, tapping the extensive sphere of past buyers and sellers that the Skar team has acquired during their 20+ years selling Broward real estate. We sat down with the co-founder of the Sklar Team, Rose Sklar to learn more.
West will be our third office, adding to our presence in Fort Lauderdale and Weston. This allows our clients to buy or sell properties wherever they might want to move.

Making connections, attend-
ing community events, and building relationships were critical. Embracing change and technology along the way has helped us achieve a stronghold in the West Broward real estate market. Over the years, we began to see a trend of our buyer pool moving east, so we opened our new office on Las Olas Blvd in Fort Lauderdale.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
Leading the Way: Dr. Scott Denny & Integrative Hospital Associates Pioneer Treatments For a Healthier Life BY TERRY JAILLET
D
r. Scott Denny has been helping people with chronic pain get well for over 35 years. In 2007, he took the position of head of acupuncture services at Holy Cross Hospital’s Feldman Center for Optimal Health. Dr. Denny’s practice has always provided unique natural medical services to help patients with chronic illness or chronic pain. One example is their first pain practice in South Florida to offer Robotic MLS Laser Therapy going back to 2010. MLS Laser Therapy Multiwave Locked System (MLS) Laser Therapy was developed in an effort to produce an efficient and simultaneous effect on pain, inflammation, and edema, exceeding the limits of traditional LLLT (low power) and concerns of HP (high power) laser therapy.
MLS uses specific wavelengths of light to treat painful and debilitating muscle, bone and joint conditions. Light energy enters the damaged cells and stimulates inter-cellular activity. This reduces pain in the area of injury and speeds recovery of the damaged cells. It is one of the most efficient forms of therapy for the treatment of these types of conditions. Expanded Office Location Integrative Hospital Associates recently expanded its practice services to a new larger office located in the Atrium Center Plaza on University Drive in Davie. Dr. Denny is also pleased to announce that his daughter, Justine Denny, DNP, a double board-certified holistic and family nurse practitioner has joined the practice to head-up this major expansion of services. Dr. Denny is trained in many disciplines including chiropractic, East Asian medicine, and electromedicine. The practice provides many services including acupuncture, effective treatments for sports injuries as well as any type of accident or injury. He also provides ozone injection therapy, natural pain medicine injections, herbal medicine, bioenergetics testing, weight loss programs, vitamin injections, and much more. Dr. Justin Denny Dr. Justine Denny specializes in holistic services such as vitamin IV therapy, intravenous ozone therapy, ultraviolet blood irradiation, regenerative medicine,
allergy testing and allergy immunotherapy, blood-based nutritional analysis, and many other treatment services which have never been available in practice until now. With the additional scope of services, more patients can benefit from this unique integrated medical approach. This will allow a patient to feel better faster, need less medication, and significantly improve their quality of life. This comprehensive approach is simply unavailable in most clinics. Most practices offer one or maybe two types of services and most do not have a collaborative approach to maximize patient treatment results. Drs. Scott and Justine Denny offer a complimentary consultation, so stop suffering alone and let me the team of integrative Hospital Associates get you back on track. To schedule an appointment or learn more about Integrative Hospital Associates call (954) 473-8925 or visit ww.DennyHealth.com

Early Voting Expected to Shatter 2016 Records BY JUSTIN PATRICK
W
et South Florida weather and long lines equipment was sterilized. did nothing to stop citizens from exercisResults for the national election, along with ing their right to vote. Voters were up well results from local municipal campaigns are before dawn enduring rain and hot sun to make sure their votes were counted. In some cases, lines extended around the block as voters took advantage of the start of early voting. All indications suggest a record turn-out for this year’s general election. Voters supporting President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden stood in line wearing raincoats and holding umbrellas. The early voting comes on top of a record number of vote-by-mail requests. More than 2.5 million mail-in ballots were requested in Florida prior to early voting polls even opening. In the 2016 presidential election, 9.5 million Floridians cast their vote, including 816,000 Broward County residents. Experts expect those numbers to be significantly eclipsed in this year’s race. According to the Broward Supervisor of Elections, more than 300,000 Broward votes were cast by the end of the first day of early voting. The increase in vote-by-mail activity is expected to offset delays caused by COVID-19 safety precautions. The vast majority of voters respected requests to wear masks and to anticipate delays while voting
expected on election night, November 3rd. There are 1,267,187 voters eligible to vote in Broward County this year.

CAN DO KID
Baking for a Cause: A Love for Baking Challahs Turns into so Much More for Local 13-Year-Old BY JOHN DUKA
P
rior to the pandemic, 13-year old Yael Schwartzman was a pretty typical kid. She enjoyed being on the cheer squad, dancing, singing, and spending time with her friends. She also loved the special time she would spend with her mother Andrea. Each Friday afternoon, they baked home-made challahs for their family. Yael’s
family and friends often remarked how tasty her challah was. Challah is a special bread in Jewish cuisine. It is usually braided and typically eaten on Jewish holidays and on the Shabbat, Judaism’s day of rest on the seventh day of the week—i.e., Saturday. Unfortunately for Yael, the COVID-19 lockdown kept her from cheerleading and took her away from her friends. With less to do outside the home, she decided to bake more often and began offering her challahs to neighbors on the Nextdoor app. Word on Yael’s challah spread like wildfire. In fact, she is baking every single day now and sometimes enlists her brother and parents to help when orders get backed up. Every batch takes her about two hours from start to finish. “I use the recipe my mom passed on to me,” commented Yael, “The dough is pretty basic, but I’m always trying to find new flavors to add to it.” Yael isn’t just running her newfound baking business, she is also giving back, “I donate a percentage of my sales to St. Jude Hospital.” If you are hankering for some yummy bread, be sure to reach out to the area’s newest baking superstar.
To order a loaf of Yael’s challah visit her instagram page @ nextdoorchallah or message 786-420-9909.

A
n NFL Hall of Famer, national recording artists and a captain in the United States Coast Guard are among the distinguished Broward County high school alumni who have made their mark on local communities and will be honored by Broward Education Foundation during the Publix Super Markets Charities 2020 “Hall of Fame Awards” presented by Memorial Healthcare System on Saturday, December 5 at 6 p.m. The outdoor drive-in celebration will take place at William T. McFatter Technical College and High School, 6500 Nova Drive in Davie. As with all events, COVID has changed the plans for this year’s Hall of Fame. Taking extra precautions and factoring in safety protocols and social distancing measures, Broward Education Foundation will salute this year’s honorees during a first-ever drive-in event. When the sun goes down, the fun begins. Guests will remain in their cars in the high school’s expansive parking lot and watch the awards onstage and on large screens. Audio will be streamed through car radios. The 2020 Broward Education Foundation Hall of Fame honorees are: Receiving the JM Family Enterprises, Inc. Bravo Award for their positive impact on the lives of thousands of children are two talented national recording artists and co-founders of the group Black Violin: ▸ Wil Baptiste, Dillard High School graduate, class of 2000 ▸ Kevin Marcus Sylvester, Dillard High School graduate, class of 1999. Recipients of the Bank of America Community Achievement Award for significant accomplishments in any field are: ▸ Isaac Bruce, former professional football player and member of the NFL Hall of Fame, owner of Bruce Zone and Dillard High School graduate, class of 1990 ▸ Jo-Ann F. Burdian, Sector Commander and Captain of the Port, United States Coast Guard, Sector Miami and Piper High School graduate, class of 1993 ▸ Marty Kiar, Broward County Property Appraiser and Western High School graduate, class of 1995 The three honorees receiving the Office Depot Education Achievement Award for their dedication to a career in public education are: ▸ Amy DeCelle, medical magnet coordinator at Blanche Ely High School and graduate of Piper High School, class of 1993 ▸ Mark Howard, principal of Hallandale Magnet
High School and graduate of Nova High School, class of 1990 ▸ Carletha B. Shaw-Rolle, Ph.D., educator and cadre director for Broward County Public Schools and graduate of South Plantation High School, class of 1985 “This year has been anything but ordinary but that should not take away from the extraordinary Broward County public school alumni we are honoring this year during our annual Hall of Fame Awards. We are inspired by their leadership, passion and commitment to education and community,” said Tim Curtin, Broward Education Foundation Board Chair. “We give a heartfelt thanks to our sponsors for their unwavering support during this very challenging year. We hope the community will join us for this fun and special evening that supports students and teachers in Broward County Public Schools,” added Shea Ciriago, executive director of Broward Education Foundation. Reminiscent of California’s Hollywood Walk of Fame, Broward’s distinguished alumni are honored with large engraved granite stars on the BrightStar

LEGALLY SPEAKING
Sometimes It’s Just Up to the Parents BY EVAN H. BARON, ESQ. n the past few days, I have been contacted by several former clients, who have asked me the same question. These clients have been previously divorced and have school age children. In all instances they have “SHARED PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY”. The question that has been asked is can you help me? The help they need concerns the re-opening of schools. One of the parents wants the child(ren) to go back to school for “face to face learning” and the other parent wants the child(ren) to continue with “distance learning”. I am sure this is an issue that many parents are dealing with right now. No matter where you may stand on this issue, I think every parent has weighed the pros and cons of sending a child back into their school. If the parents are still together in an intact marriage or even if not married but living together and raising their children, I think we can all admit that it is a joint parental decision. However, if the parents are divorced, and have “Shared Parental Responsibility” will the courts become involved? Let me first define “Shared Parental Responsibility” Florida Statutes define “Shared Parental Responsibility”, as follows: ‘A Court-ordered relationship in which both parents retain full parental rights and responsibilities with respect to their child and in which both parents CONFER with each other so that major decisions affecting the welfare of the child will be determined JOINTLY”.

So, based upon the above, the parents are to confer, and make a joint decision. Sounds exactly what parents, who are still together, must do when making major decisions about their children. That is exactly the goal of Shared Parental Responsibility. You may be divorced but you are still the parents of your children and need to put aside your differences and co-parent. Unless one of the parents have been given “ultimate decision making “ for educational decisions, (rare) neither parent has the ability to “override” the other. What I have advised these former clients, who are now raising their children as divorced parents, is that they must work it out between themselves. They must decide what is in their children’s best interests. It is not up to a Judge to decide this issue. It is not a clear-cut issue, with a right or a wrong. In my opinion it would not be proper for a judge to make such a decision based upon his or her individual belief about the benefits or the danger in having a child attend school. There just is no real “clear cut” answer. As the title of this article states, “Sometimes It's Just Up to the Parents”. n The law firm of Evan H. Baron and Associates is located at 1655 North Commerce Parkway, Suite 201, in Weston. If you have any questions concerning this issue or any other family law matter, call the office at 954-385-9160.

ASK THE EXPERT
The Achilles’ Tendonitis (tendon(itis) referring to inflammation of a tendon). Some physicians prefer the term Achilles tendinosis to Achilles tendinitis because scientific research has revealed little inflammation around the tendon. Initially Achilles tendinitis is noticed during the first step out of bed in the morning. There is a feeling of discomfort, stiffness and tenderness in the back of the ankle. One may often limp until the calf muscle and tendon have stretched out and warmed up. If the condition is left unchecked the discomfort increases in intensity and becomes particularly noticeable throughout exercise until it is disabling. Most athletes recognize Achilles tendinitis as well localized pain in the midsection of the tendon. A second common location may be at BY MICHAEL M. COHEN, DPM, FACFAS its attachment at the back of the heel. Studies show that one in 10 runners t is said that the heart and soul will suffer from Achilles tendinitis and of every running athlete is in 16% will be forced to end their careers his Achilles’ tendon. In ancient due to chronic pain and recurrence. mythology Achilles is described as Therefore, rapid treatment is essential the swiftest and fastest of heroes. His perfect form and lightning speed ren- to prevent long term problems. Treating Achilles tendinitis is predidered him untouchable by his enemies. cated on the degree of injury and level He was totally impregnable with one of damage. Acute injuries often result exception, his Achilles heel. Truly in swelling and even partial tearing many athletes especially runners fall victim to the same crippling malady as of the tendon fibers. Chronic changes may result in scarring, thickening Achilles did himself. If not dealt with rapidly and properly, the condition frequently becomes debilitating and in certain instances even life altering. Three large calf muscles, the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles merge to form the largest tendon in the body otherwise known as the Achilles or triceps surae. The tendon is anchored into the back of the heel bone and its principal function is to pull the heel up and push the foot in a downward direction. This allows the athlete to rise vertically and propel forward. A second unappreciated function of the Achilles tendon and its calf muscle is to decelerate the leg as it swings through the air and stabilize the knee while it flexes to absorb shock when the foot hits the ground. The calf is ultimately converted into a shock absorber damping the blow sustained during impact, and with each foot strike absorbs three to five times the body weight while running. Repetitive movement of the Achilles tendon may result in a chronic overuse injury such as tendinitis
I
and degeneration. A foot and ankle specialist will often order an MRI to distinguish the type and amount of damage to the tendon. Activity modification and at times immobilization is warranted to allow the tendon time to heal. A well-developed cross training regimen is essential to prevent an athlete from losing fitness while recovering from the injury. Addressing detrimental biomechanical factors such as tight inflexible calf muscles, pronation, or alternatively supination is paramount. Athletes should avoid running with zero drop or negative heel shoes as this may aggravate symptoms. One may also benefit from reviewing proper running technique, add various strengthening programs and consider the use of orthotics and heel lifts. Many studies emphasize the value of eccentric strengthening in the treatment of Achilles tendon injuries. Eccentric exercises should start early and are performed by standing on a step or platform and slowly dropping your heel towards the ground. This exercise allows the tendon to elongate and strengthen while accelerating the repair of damaged tendon cells. Ice therapy may reduce the extent of tendon degeneration. The value of anti-inflammatory medication is controversial, and its long-term use may
be detrimental. Corticosteroid injections are generally not used and illogical in the treatment of this degenerative condition. However, the use of PRP or injectable placenta/amniotic membrane tissue have been proven to be useful. Ultimately a recurrent condition may result in much frustration and a feeling of hopelessness, oftentimes leading to surgical procedures which could have been avoided with rapid treatment. n Dr. Michael Cohen has a marathon PR of 2:37 at age 21; 2:50 at age 39 and at 50 was a top 3 age group finisher in both the ING Miami and Disney Half Marathons.

LEGALLY SPEAKING
Simple Estate Planning Steps BY BRUCE IDEN, ESQUIRE re there any estate planning steps I can take now to make things easier for my family should something happen to me? Absolutely. One of the simplest and most important things that you can do yourself is to verify that your assets and beneficiaries are properly titled. Let’s consider the following all too common scenarios: Sadly after a long illness, Mama Maggie loses her daughter, Melissa, a 45- year old divorced woman, with no children. Maggie later learns of the existence of a life insurance policy on Melissa’s life, issued years ago by a former employer. When she contacts the insurance company she is told the policy shows no named beneficiary, so therefore funds cannot be released without a judge’s order from the probate court. Have you collected life insurance policies and 401(k)s over the years? Make sure they all have beneficiaries designated. Nadine Rogers’ husband passes away. All of the couple’s savings and checking accounts were owned jointly. While sorting through papers, Nadine finds a statement from an old savings account in only her husband’s name. She is surprised when notified by the bank that even as a surviving spouse Nadine has no access to the money because she is not named as an owner. As with Mama Maggie, money will only be released with a judge’s order from the probate court. Her options are to hire an attorney to start a probate proceeding, or allow the money to eventually be claimed by the state. All cash accounts should either have an additional owner, or be designated P.O.D. (payable on death) to a named beneficiary. As a married couple, Lucy and Joe own their home jointly so that when one passes his or her share is automatically distributed to the remaining spouse. Tragically, Lucy and Joe are killed in a car accident while on vacation. Without an order from the probate court, their surviving adult children cannot sell their parents’ property. A probate administration must be opened and no sale can be finalized until they receive permission from the court. This can be avoided by creating a specialized deed. This is not a do it yourself project. An estate planning attorney can discuss and advise as to the best approach for your situation so your property passes to your heirs at your death, without the need for probate administration. Finally, in these days of uncertainty it is also important that every adult execute Advance Directives, which includes a HIPAA Release, a Living Will and a Healthcare Power of Attorney. A HIPAA Release allows your medical information be shared with people you designate, a Living Will informs others of your final instructions should you reach the end of meaningful life but are being kept alive by mechanical means , and a Healthcare Power of Attorney allows you to appoint someone to decide your medical care should you lose the ability to decide for yourself. Life can change in an instant. What are you waiting for?

ASK THE MAYOR
Davie Update BY MAYOR JUDY PAUL f you haven’t voted early or by mail make sure you give yourself enough time to VOTE on Nov.3 at your own precinct. This is your chance to have a voice in the challenges confronting your local, county, state and federal government. Remember to go down the ballot and vote to the very end. There are many Constitutional and Charter amendments at the state, county and local levels. Every vote is important and counts. I am saddened by the news that Rick Case has passed away. Rick was and is the ultimate entrepreneur. Building a business and a brand that everyone recognizes was only one of his legacies. His mark and generosity will be felt forever in the community. He championed many causes, but The Boys and Girls Club of Broward County was his heart and soul. We are proud of our two clubs in Davie including the one that bears his and Rita’s name. There isn’t an event or opportunity that hasn’t displayed a Rick Case vehicle as he sponsored so many gatherings throughout the area. I was present at most of the ribbon cuttings of his dealerships in Davie and at the opening of the Rick Case Arena at Nova Southeastern University. Always at the forefront, Rick Case will be missed by all. We had a very special relationship, built on mutual respect and understanding. Rick is another legend taken from us too soon. I know Rita and their children will carry on and continue to honor his name and the business they built together. On behalf of the community I send condolences to Rita, their children and all the family, friends and associates who held Rick Case in high esteem. God rest his soul. Davie Town Administrator Richard J. Lemack has appointed Stephen E. Kinsey to the position of Chief of Police for the Davie Police Department. On Tuesday, September 29, 2020, I had the pleasure of swearing in Chief Kinsey during a virtual ceremony. Kinsey comes to Davie as a seasoned law enforcement professional with over 27 years of experience including Undersheriff at the Broward Sheriff’s Office and Assistant Chief of Police at the Fort Lauderdale Police Department. Having served in a supervisory or command capacity in all three Police Department Bureaus (Operations, Investigations, and Administration), Kinsey is uniquely qualified as he is a long time Davie resident with an understanding of our diverse community offerings and culture. He is a graduate of the FBI National Academy, holds a Master of Science in Public Administration from Florida International University, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminology with a Minor in Sociology from Florida State University. He is also a member of the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), Florida State and Broward County Chiefs of Police organizations. The Davie Police Department is pleased to announce that they have completed a pledge taken to improve their response to those suffering from mental illness in the Town of Davie. Today, Davie is one of only two Florida agencies that has fulfilled all of the program requirements. The “One Mind” initiative focuses on uniting local communities, public safety organizations, and mental health organizations so that the three become “of one mind.” Started by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), law enforcement agencies must pledge to implement promising practices to ensure successful future interactions between police officers and persons with mental illness. The Davie Police Department strives to continuously improve our standards and respond to the Davie community’s changing needs through a commitment to training, self-development, community interaction, and investment into problem-solving partnerships.

REAL ESTATE
Going, Going, Gone! BY ZONA HORTON
L
ast month we discussed that it was time to go “bigger.” More and more of my clients have realized that what they’ve got is simply not enough. This month we are looking at our low, low inventory of properly priced homes under $1 Million. Recently, I had listed a home in the Crossbow neighborhood of the Hawkes Bluff development – it pended in one day. Of course, regardless of the inventory, a professional agent finds that sweet spot that attracts buyers to the home, as well as, markets it on all venues immediately. I had listed two additional homes. By week’s end, all three had contracts. Right Timing – Precise Pricing – Global Marketing. According to NAR, the housing market has made a strong recovery since the outbreak of COVID-19. Lawrence Yun, NAR’s Chief Economist, stated that pending sales contracts are now at an all-time high. . . .and Yun also noted that the elevated sales are not sustainable due to ongoing inventory shortage. Contract signings (a sign of a market in recovery) increased 8.8% in August to a record high of 132.8. (An index reading of 100 is equal to the level of contract activity in 2001.) Contract signings are 24.2% higher than one year ago. “Tremendously low mortgage rates—below 3%—have again helped pending home sales climb in August,” says Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist. “Additionally, the Fed intends to hold [its] short-term funds rates near 0% for the foreseeable future, which should, in the absence of inflationary pressure, keep
mortgage rates low, and that will undoubtedly aid home buyers continuing to enter the marketplace.” According to the experts at Florida Realtors, as of the end of August, the statewide inventory of single-family homes was down 35.5% from a year ago. Florida’s median sale price for closed sales of single-family homes reached $300,000 for the first time in August, a more than 13 percent increase from a year ago. Our current statistics for single-family homes priced under $1 Million are outlined below. If the days on market are more than 90 days, either pricing, exposure or both may be the issue. With our low inventory and pent-up buyer demand, now may be time for you to make your move on a rightly-priced home. n Zona Horton has been successfully selling Real Estate in South Florida for over 36
