COLLEGE DREAMS STAY ALIVE In a tough economy, getting a scholarship is just about everything
SALESMAN KNOWS A GREAT BUY
Larry Blustein
If you are a parent and currently find yourself paying for one, two or even three college educations, you already know that it is never easy for families to send their children off to college in these tough economic times. Thanks to sports, especially football, athletes are now getting more opportunities to loosen the load on mom and dad as scholarships are now being awarded - full and partial - giving student/athletes an

Gil Wassermanʼs visit to Dr. Stanley Braverman, for delicate eye surgery to correct his nearsightedness, changed his life
By Lynne Peterson As a salesman who has sold real estate in Florida and cars for Auto Nation, Gil Wasserman knows a good buy when he sees one and that is the reason he went to Dr. Stanley Braverman for delicate eye surgery to correct his nearsightedness. Gil was diagnosed with High Myopia (nearsighted) with astigmatism at three years of age and was prescribed glasses. Gil said, “The lenses were the thick“During the Vietnam War, I ness of coke bottles and I had to sit in the decided to enlist in the Army front row of the classbut was declined because room in order to see of my nearsightedness.” the chalkboard. Later as a teenager, I GIL WASSERMAN switched to contact lenses.” “During the Vietnam War, I decided to enlist in the Army but was declined because of my nearsightedness. My eyes started to reject the contacts lenses and I had a hard time wearing them; subsequently, I changed from hard contacts to gas permeable but there were comfort issues too.” Finding fulfillment in rescuing dogs and cats from animal shelters, Gil was looking for a doctor who could rescue him from the problems of having to wear contact lenses and/or glasses. “I visited with several ophthalmologists; however, they were reluctant to do anything for me because they lacked the latest technology.” After a referral from associates at the office, Gil made an appointment to see Dr. Stanley Braverman, a respected board certified ophthalmologist in Hallandale Beach. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– BRAVERMAN, Page 4A

Traffic problems happen in every thriving and progressive city
‘AROUND THE CITY OF CHOICE’
HALLANDALE BEACH - Over the course of time there has been one constant issue facing our community and many others like it throughout the globe; traffic. Traffic has been studied and has been calculated and has been addressed through many years of engineering and infrastructure. A while back I wrote about the history of traffic engineering and how centuries before this one, engineers were addressing the flow of force and carriages through the streets. Society has come a long way since then, but still the same problem; too many vehicles trying to move through the same roadway all at the same time. Rush-hour traffic jams are not new. Over vacation in a quiet little mountain town of only 800 residents there was even a rush-hour. Everyone was coming to the mountain at the same time and everyone was leaving the same time. The question becomes how to manage traffic better. As recently as two weeks ago, a concerned resident reached out to me to inquire about Hallandale Beach signalization and the West Hallandale Beach configuration. I have written about these issues in the past but they do warrant a review. Most importantly, the resident realized that as a municipality we have the ability to give input and that the jurisdiction of our roadways lies with the County and the State. As a result of her inquiry and suggestion the City Commission directed the City Manager to request that the Florida Department of Transportation attend one of our commission meetings to review all current projects that have been completed or are slated for completion in the future. The signalization project is really a two phased approach. Broward County Trans-
Mayor Joy Cooper
portation has implemented what is called a GO GREEN light project. The project has been implemented and can be modified by the County to fit our traffic patterns here in Hallandale Beach. The change is more obvious when there are fewer vehicles on the road. Now, rather than having a red light green light, red light stop start lights down the Boulevard will be green. Depending on the volume of traffic one can traverse a longer period of time without stopping. Obviously peak traffic times will skew the results. The second phase of the signalization has been placed in the Florida Department of Transportation work plan. This will be the implementation of real time traffic signalization. Traffic will be video monitored and linked to Broward Countyʼs central monitoring station. Operators will be able to adjust the signalization to current situations. The other project that has raised concerns is a new configuration on W. Hallandale Beach Blvd. Broward County Transportation came to our City Commission meeting and shared publicly that the result of this configuration does improve East-West traffic flows. The City Commission approved the new configuration and construction of the new median was scheduled to be performed this winter but was postponed until spring in order to avoid seasonal traffic. The City Commission and city residents play an integral role in trans-
Mount Sinai Medical Center receives continued accreditation for graduate medical education program
MIAMI BEACH - Mount Sinai Medical Center of Florida has received a continued accreditation for a five-year cycle from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). ACGME is responsible for the accreditation of all post-MD medical training programs within the United States. The review committee, comprised of up to 15 physicians, commended Mount Sinai for its demonstrated substantial compliance with ACGMEʼs institutional requirements without citations. The continued accreditation is a testament to the commitment Mount Sinai has made since 1959 to training tomorrowʼs health care providers. As a statutory teaching hospital, Mount Sinai brings together the best and brightest minds in medicine, creating a challenging environment where emerging physicians are trained by faculty who are well versed in the latest medicine based on the most current scientific data. Each year, Mount Sinai trains more than 160 residents and fellows in 17 medical specialties, at an investment of more than $20 million dollars. Mount Sinai also enhances its educational programs through unique partnerships with other medical institutions such as New Yorkʼs elite Columbia University. The collaboration in the departments of cardiology and urology are the only Ivy-League affiliations of their kind in South Florida.
portation planning. Every city in Broward County participates in the Metropolitan Planning Organization. Depending on population, cities have a permanent seat or an alternate seat on the board. I currently serve as the alternate to the MPO for our district. The MPO is the governing body that works on developing, prioritizing and planning transportation and transit improvements throughout Broward County. These plans are set within certain documents including five-year capital plans. That is the key working document for design and construction funding. All these plans channel through Florida Department of Transportation to a district office and then on to the state level. Funding comes from the federal level and is passed through on the state level based on statewide needs and approved transportation projects recommended through the various MPOʼs. Broward County is a considered transit concurrency area. Since we are a built out community and there is limited availability for additional roadways, the main focus has been on transit. This includes bus transit, rapid transit and rail. The other area of investment is for the redevelopment of roadways to include sidewalks, bike lanes and multimodal access. Hallandale Beach Blvd. East and West have gone through a total makeover. These projects typically are slated every 20 years. Currently Ocean Drive is slated for resurfacing. Due to funding cuts on the state level the project was broken down in two phases. The first phase is the median project which is taking place now. The second phase is currently under design and slated to be completed in 2014. The landscaping project is moving forward. The design firm who is under contract with FDOT called for the placement of the 10 Medjools palms along the bridge. We were then informed that the trees had to be removed as they would interfere with the bridge and did not meet an FDOT standard, which is why the project had stalled. After seeing the trees and the one section for Royal palm trees that were left, residents had shared their concerns that the
project did not meet their expectations. At the last Commission meeting I shared with the Commission residents concerns and a suggestion that I had made to the City Manager. Rather than return the Medjools, the existing Royal Palms should be removed and transplanted within our city and the Medjools palms should be put in their place. Since the change order would require estimated expenditure over the $50,000 threshold, we were informed that this would have to come back to the Commission. After researching and speaking with the contractor, the change order, including the purchasing of four additional trees and different trees along the bridge, the new cost was $75,000. The item was brought forth and dis-
cussed at our last Commission meeting. There were concerns raised over the cost and concerns over moving the current trees. It was reaffirmed that while moving the trees did put the trees at risk and there was no guarantee of survival, this was a better option rather than storing the trees. The trees that have been removed to date have been planted along our corridor in various sections of the city to replace trees that have died. The majority of the
Commission concurred that the project should be done right and to the expectations of our residents. The item passed on a 3-2 vote with Vice Mayor Sanders, Commissioner Lewy and I in the affirmative.

SALESMAN KNOWS A GREAT BUY Braverman
From Page 1A –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– After a comprehensive eye exam and advice offered by Dr. Braverman, Gil decided to have a Near Clear Lensectomy done in both eyes with a subsequent PRK (a form of Laser Vision Correction) procedure, often necessary with high prescriptions. This double procedure is also known as a Bioptics procedure. As a successful salesman with Auto Nation, Gil understands what it takes to be an excellent salesman by listening to people and answering their questions. Gil said, “I recommend Dr. Braverman because he listened to what I had to say. The laser procedure after the lensectomy was quick and painless. The Braverman Eye Center has a great office staff. Now I am 20/25 and I donʼt wear contacts or glasses and function quite well! Recently, I had to take my driverʼs license test and had no problems passing the eye test with no correction!” WHAT TO EXPECT: NEAR CLEAR LENSECTOMY Near Clear Lensectomy surgery is the removal of your natural lens, which is usually dissolved using high frequency ultrasound through a small (less than 3 millimeter) opening. An artificial lens is then placed inside the eye where the natural lens used to be. If the lens was significantly clouded, it would be called cataract surgery. Near Clear Lensectomy surgery continues to improve. Recent developments include no-stitch surgery, topical anesthesia, surgical correction of astigmatism, and new upgraded lens designs. Eye drops are given to the patient to aid in the healing of the eye, which takes a few months, but the patient is able to return to normal activity almost immediately after surgery and usually sees well within just days. If the eye is otherwise healthy, Near Clear Lensectomy surgery is successful in more than 99% of patients and they enjoy improved vision after the procedure. WHAT TO EXPECT: PRK PROCEDURE In PRK, the surgeon carefully removes the outer epithelial (skin) covering of the cornea, and then uses the excimer laser to reshape the corneal surface. A flap, which is cut when Lasik is done, is not necessary. A special "bandage" contact lens is placed onto the eye for comfort while the epithelium is healing and is removed 3-4 days later. Visual recovery takes longer than LASIK, and there are more post-operative office visits and medication, which is why LASIK has become more common. However, there are patients who have dry eyes or corneas that are too thin to perform LASIK safely, and for these patients, PRK is a great alternative. ABOUT DR. STANLEY BRAVERMAN Dr. Stanley Braverman is a Voluntary Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of Miami School of Medicine and the Anne Bates Leach Eye Hospital/Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. He is also an Adjunct Associate Clinical Professor at the Nova Southeastern School of Optometry. In ad-

National Singing day, Sean Walters and Willie Bailey sat with their families, head football coach Dameon Jones, Damian Huttenhoff (Broward Schools) and some friends and faculty members for an informal signing. Walters, a safety, has started his college career at West Virginia University, where the Mountaineers are fresh from a successful visit to Miami and a record-setting Orange Bowl win over Clemson. When the 2011 season started at Hallandale, Walters was not a name that many had heard about. Injured as a junior, the 6-1, 200-pound safety worked hard in the spring and the summer, and by the time the season began, colleges across the country were firmly on him. Unlike Walters, Bailey has been on the radar screen as one of the more talented defensive backs in the state of Florida. Originally committed to attend the University of Miami, Bailey switched to Florida and never looked back. His journey as a Gator has started in Gainesville with an eye on education as well as getting some early playing time. The decision to leave high school early is based on the student and the curriculum set up by the school. An athlete that does leave early gets the chance to participate in a college spring practice, which has been a major springboard to many impressive careers.
Willie Bailey, now at the University of Florida, was joined by Coach Jones and his family for the special signing day last Wednesday.
Sean Walters had the opportunity to get his family and Coach Jones involved before heading out early to Wst Virginia to start his college life.
For some, the chance to get into school and adjusted to collegiate life is something they set themselves up for. Itʼs not required, but it certainly helped some young men grow up fast. The forum, when it comes to recruiting across the country - comes up on Wednesday, Feb. 1 when the official National Signing Day is held across the country, and when a major network such as ESPN devotes 14 hours to telling everyone throughout the nation how good or bad their team did, this is big $$$$$$$. College educations can often be paid for by what
the college and university brings in. If itʼs a good year - like LSU and pretty much the entire Southeastern Conference annually enjoys, there is less fundraising, but boosters keep the scholarships paid for and the team winning. Thatʼs kind of a short version of something I could spend hours on. But today, I want to say congratulations to Sean Walters, Willie Bailey and the some 100 players from South Florida who will get a chance at a college education for being able to run, throw, tackle and make it in the classroom.

Duane and Joey’s inspiration. The 10,000 square foot store specializes in natural and holistic foods. They have 336 linear footage of dog and cat food, specifically 112 linear feet devoted to natural, holistic, and organic dog and cat foods including Origin, their top selling natural food for dogs.
PET SUPPLIES PLUS Suzanne Wallace Sun Times HOLLYWOOD Duane and Joey Noveh are the husband and wife team behind the Pet Supplies Plus store in Hollywood. They are the owner-operators of the store and are committed to providing the highest level of customer service. They are life-long pet advocates and have had many pets ranging from fish and hamsters to dogs and cats. Duane and Joey are the devoted owners of two wonderful dogs, Daisy and Satchmo. Duane started his retail career at the age of 18. He continued with the same company for 23 years. In that time he worked his way up the corporate ladder from stocker to District Manager. Joey was a volunteer in a veterinary hospital at the age of thirteen. She fell in love with the work and knew that she would devote her life to it. She proceeded to learn the various aspects of the animal care industry as her career evolved. After she and Duane were married, she continued to work for veterinarians for thirteen years as they moved around the country to further their careers. In that time she also went to grooming school and worked as a groomer for several years. A DREAM COME TRUE It was because of their love of animals that Duane and Joey decided to fulfill their lifelong dream of owning a pet store. Pet Supplies Plus opened in the Sheridan Plaza shopping center in November but the Grand Opening Sales just keep happening. Being pet owners themselves for years, local store owners, Duane and Joey Noveh are living their dream of improving the quality of your petʼs life. The 10,000 square foot store specializes in natural and holistic foods. They have 336 linear footage of dog and cat food, specifically 112 linear feet devoted to natural, holistic, and organic dog and cat foods including Origin, their top selling natural food for dogs. They also carry Earthborn, Fromm, Blue Buf-
Pet Supplies Plus is running a special for first time customers for a groom and trim for puppies under 12 weeks old at $14.95. Nail trimming is done for $8.00. The hours for grooming are from 7:00 a.m. by appointment until 9:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10:00a.m. - 6:00 p.m. on Sundays.
Your Petʼs Favorite Store
falo, Acana, Taste of the Wild, Wellness,Chicken Soup, Natural Balance, Innova, Evo, California Natural, Natures Variety, Merrick, and Canidae. Duane stated, “We also carry well known brands like Iams, Eukanuba, Science Diet and most brands that can be purchased at your local grocery stores.” Ellen DeGeneresʼs highly recommended Halo is on the shelves as well as Tiki Cat, Weruva, Fussie Cat and many other natural pet foods. There is a freezer at the back of the store that is filled with fresh, frozen products from real bones to Primal and Natureʼs Variety frozen all natural meat product food. Thereʼs even a specialty ice cream for dogs called Sweet Spots. If you are looking for one-stop healthy shopping for your pets, Pet Supplies Plus is the place to go. Prices vary from the lower cost wellknown pet foods to the top of the line. I noticed several Buy 1 Get 1 sales like 2-5lb. bags of California Natural Grain Free Dog Food with their card. There is a food to fit your budget, from Pedigree and super premium brands to the best in natural and holistic foods and Duane says, “We will not be undersold, we will match any competitors price.” AFFORDABLE GROOMING While marveling at all the wonderful pet products at the back of the store, I noticed the
Grooming Room where West Highland Terrier, Gizmo Bear owned by Jackie Rubinstein, seemed very happy in groomer, Valerie Favoriteʼs arms. Duane told me “We are running a special for first time customers for a groom and trim for puppies under 12 weeks old at $14.95. Nail trimming is done for $8.00. The hours for grooming are from 7:00 a.m. by appointment until 9:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10:00a.m. - 6:00 p.m. on Sundays. As I continued my tour of the store I was impressed with the fresh, bulk bird seed and snacks in tubular bins, all in a row like candies at the movies. If you are looking for good feed for your parrot, macaw, or even for your little parakeet, you will find it in one of the bins as low as 49 cents for a lb. Speaking of birds, they carry many kinds…parrots, cockatiels, love birds, parakeets, and others. You can pick out your bird, cage, toys, food and any other supplies you need with one visit.
PLENTY FOR CAT LOVERS For all you cat lovers out there, I have some great news for you. There is a cat litter that is literally The Worldʼs Best Cat Litter. Yep, it is, and thatʼs the name. Duane told me about a recent in-store demo of the litter and how cat urine was poured directly into a box of the liter and there was absolutely no urine smell. Not only that but it clumps especially good so you use less and it is biodegradable. Now, thatʼs not to say that other kitty litter isnʼt good. In fact Tidy Cats is at a special price January 19 -23, 20 lb. jugs are 2/$11.00 with their card. Thatʼs saving $5.96 on 2 with the Preferred Pet Club Card. It pays to sign up for the card to get the sales and discounts. I noticed among the many cat food brands, Origin, the natural cat food as well as Natural Balance, Tiki, Weruva, and Halo. I saw ferrets, chinchillas, hamsters, guinea pigs, reptiles, and quite a variety of fish and all their food and supplies. I asked
why they donʼt have dogs and cats and Duane said, “There are already too many dogs and cats in this world that need homes. Instead, his goal is to invite animal adoption agencies to bring some of the animals to the store on Saturdays to hopefully find homes. In fact, when an animal is adopted there, Duane gives the new owners $25.00 in free food or supplies for their new family member. If you pick up their sale circular you will find a coupon for a Free ID Tag with leash/collar combo purchase until January 31 and lots of other specials. Duane gave me three tips to help create a smooth diet transition for your pet: • Mix the new food with the current brand over a 5-10 day period. • Gradually increase the
new to old ration until your dog is only eating the new food. • Stir in some moist food, add olive oil or warm it up for an extra special dinner. SPECIAL ORDERS Duane pointed out, “We have over 10 distributors at our disposal and can special order almost anything our customerʼs request. There have been numerous items that we have obtained for our customers by special orders that before they could only get online and pay for shipping. One unusual order was for doggie litter. My customer has trained her dog to use the litter box.” Upon leaving Pet Supplies Plus I was wishing my condo association would let me have a dog or a cat. I know where I would go to buy his food and supplies.

AVOID JOINT REPLACEMENT SURGERY WITH THE ARP WAVE
Try our painless, non-invasive technique that ends chronic pain
Chronic pain is debilitating, and quickly erodes quality of life. Now, a new medical technology allows many patients suffering from back or joint pain to avoid surgery and return to the activities and lifestyles they enjoyed previously. The ARP (Accelerated Recovery Performance) Wave is a noninvasive method of delivering a pioneering new branch of neurological soft tissue medicine that teaches the body to avoid nonproductive compensation patterns that cause pain, and retrains it to allow the positive progression of treatment that accelerates recovery and restores a painfree lifestyle. The treatment works on all joint problems, tears, sprains, fractures and repetitive injuries such as carpel tunnel. It has been used by thousands of people, including many professional athletes such as Boston Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas.
ARP Wave inventor Denis Thompson helps patients avoid hip and knee replacements and provide rapid alternative recovery methods at the Wellco Care ARP Clinic in Hallandale Beach.
INTRODUCING THE ARP CLINIC AVOID SURGERY AND END PAIN If you have been told you need surgery or have chronic pain, we can help! Read below – to learn about a new, noninvasive neurological soft tissue medicine treatment used by professional athletes, that is now available to the general public.
The ARP Wave can help patients avoid hip and knee replacements and provide rapid alternative recovery methods. It is now available for the first time at the Wellco Care ARP Clinic in
TESTIMONIALS For more testimonials, visit our Website: www.arpwaveclinic.com I had muscle pain in my lower back for years. I spent, and my insurance companies have spent, thousands of dollars by treating the pain (symptom) and not the injury (the muscles in my leg). My good friend and neighbor, a former NHL player and now agent, introduced me to ARP Wave. In one session last week, they identified the problem as a strained ligament in my left ankle By taping together my fibula and tibia (a job my injured ligament used to do) and using ARP Wave I am better distributing my body weight and am largely muscular pain free. I am looking forward to a summer at the cabin, doing all the things I used to do, and have not done recently. -- Tom Finnegan [Indianapolis Colts Pro Bowl Defensive Dwight] Freeney is also using a device called ARP that is similar to a stem device to move the blood supply to the damaged ankle. The ARP operates differently from normal stem devices, but ARP has helped him in past years recover quickly from groin and hamstring pulls. -- Information from ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter, ESPN.com senior writer John Clayton and The Associated Press was used in this report. After 5 years and 15 doctors and no results, I came here and virtually am now muscle pain free. It's nice to feel good again. Randy Hebrink, 48, Low Back, Neck, Rib, Shoulder Pain -- Renville, MN I think the treatment is phenomenal. I came out of the University of Minnesota and was told I'd never play baseball again because of reconstructive surgery on my left wrist and with Ben and the ARP I haven't had any trouble since. That along with my ankle this spring, they said I'd be out 6 weeks, I wasn't even out a week and a half and I didn't miss any games. I'm a walking case for Ben, but he's helped me every time.

A TOTALLY NEW CONCEPT “This is a totally new concept in health care delivery,” says ARP Wave inventor Denis Thompson of Minneapolis, MN. “All other branches of soft tissue medicine work on the area where symptoms manifest themselves. But thatʼs not the source of the pain. Ours works where your symptoms begin.” Pain from joint problems and injuries are the result of muscles improperly absorbing force. To try to avoid the pain, the brain turns to the muscles for protection. “The muscles react to the signals from the brain by trying to eliminate the pain through abnormal contractions and movements,” Thompson says. “When this happens, the muscles no longer absorb force correctly. This, in turn, results in inappropriate compensation patterns that become imprinted in muscles and continue to cause pain.”
THE ARP WAVE The painless, noninvasive ARP Wave treatment begins with a technician placing an electrode on the patientʼs skin, where it identifies the signals being sent by the nervous system. “It is first a discovery tool,” Thompson explains.
“By using it, we find the neurological disconnect that is causing the inability of the muscles to absorb force that results in pain. Wherever there has been trauma, there is inflammation and scar tissue, and thatʼs the area we concentrate on.”
QUICK RECOVERY Once the source of the pain is correctly identified, treatment begins. The ARP Wave method consists of a series of painless treatments, usually about 10 of them, that are each about 20 minutes long. During the treatment, the Wave sends an electrical signal mimicking what the body should normally send on its own to direct force back to the muscles instead of to the joints, and to stimulate the muscles to correctly absorb shock again. “In other words, we retrain the muscles to do what theyʼre supposed to do,” Thompson says. Most patients are able to quickly return to activities they might not have been able to do for years. “Our goal is to help patients avoid surgery, as well as to replace time-consuming recovery methods like rest, ice and compression,” Thompson says. “ Accelerated Recovery Performance is, quite simply, a faster way to help the body heal.” HOW IT WORKS
DOES ARP SOUND TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE? Let us prove it to you! Bring this coupon in for a FREE treatment worth $300! It costs you nothing to try ARP. So don't wait any longer. Call us today so we can help you feel better fast. The ARP Wave works like this: First, it eliminates imprinting by the brain of nonproductive compensation patterns that cause the muscles to perform ineffectively, resulting in pain. The sooner the patient receives the treatment, the better. “By creating new pathways of communication between the brain and the muscles and reestablishing normal motor patterns early on, we can eliminate the imprinting more quickly,” Thompson says. Second, the treatment decreases swelling and inflammation by increasing blood circulation to the affected joint and limb. “This allows the restoration of mobility so the patient can get back to his or her normal activities and live an active lifestyle again,” Thompson says. The cost is far less than surgery, and patients avoid the long recovery times and possible side effects associated with surgery. “The ARP Wave helps people feel better fast,” Thompson says. “Our method is not alternative medicine. It is a new, effective form of traditional medicine.”
VIRTUAL CLINICS To ensure precise and effective treatment, technicians at ARP Wave clinics work through computerized technology directly with the expert staff at Minneapolis headquarters. South Florida patients can come to the Hallandale Beach clinic, or technicians can go to their homes to do the diagnosis and deliver the treatments. “One treatment is all it takes to prove it helps,” Thompson says. “Once you experience it, youʼll know it works.”

Why taking care of your emotional health is important while unemployed
(ARA) - It seems that nearly every newscast these days includes some discussion of wide-scale joblessness in the U.S. and discussion of economic crises at home and abroad. The American worker has been taken on a roller coaster ride over the course of the last few years that has left many in a tailspin when it comes to their emotional health and their jobs. An unusually high unemployment rate for a prolonged period of time means that twice as many people are dealing with being unemployed," says Dr. Brian Riedesel, associate professor at Argosy University, Seattle. "There's no lifetime job stability anymore. Losing your job can mean losing your identity. The longer that period of unemployment lasts, the more prolonged negative impact it can have on your emotional health." According to a study on the long-term health effects of being laid off by Kate Strully, a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health and Society scholar at the Harvard School of Public Health, "For those who lost their job through no fault of their own, such as an establishment closure, the odds of re-
porting fair or poor health increased by 54 percent, and among respondents with no pre-existing health conditions, it increased the odds of a new health condition by 83 percent. Even when workers became re-employed, those workers had an increased risk of new stress-related health conditions." "A layoff is a critical incident in your life," says Riedesel. "It has the potential for positive change in terms of a possible new career path but it can also be quite destructive in the loss of financial resources for individuals." "The stages of the grief process apply to all major or unexpected changes including the loss of a job," says Dr. Marianne Greenfield, program chair at Argosy University, Atlanta and president and CEO of Parliament3, LLC, a network of Organizational Development and Human Resource Consultants. "The five stages are denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Unfortunately, these emotions can sometimes progress to the point of selfdoubt, negativity, or an inability to move forward. Those individuals who associate their identity with their job are at higher risk

"A layoff is a critical incident in your life.” "It has the potential for positive change in terms of a possible new career path but it can also be quite destructive in the loss of financial resources for individuals." for remaining in the depression stage for a longer period of time which hinders their ability to create and implement an action plan to gain new employment." When that layoff moves from an acute crisis event to a prolonged layoff, the toll it takes can be overwhelming. "It can be devastating," says Riedesel. "The chronic stress that long-term joblessness

creates can lead to higher instances of anxiety, depression and insomnia. It also makes people more vulnerable to other issues they may already have." "Our identity is, in many ways, tied to our work," says Riedesel. "Long-term unemployment can give us a sense of a lack of control in our lives. It's important to go from being a victim
of that unemployment to taking action and taking control of our lives." Both experts agree that it is important for the unemployed to build a strong network of emotional support and to stay active. "Keep to your usual exercise and other routines," encourages Riedesel. "Take care of yourself. Eat and rest well, even if you don't feel like it. Be
careful not to selfmedicate with alcohol and drugs, prescription or otherwise." "It can be easy to get isolated from others in this type of instance," says Riedesel. Depression and isolation go handin-hand. The more you can do to stay engaged, the better off you will be emotionally, mentally and physically. "Volunteer!" says Greenfield. "Doing something that helps others has a beneficial effect on how you feel about yourself. The meaning and purpose you find in helping others will enrich and expand your life. Many times a volunteer position will lead to meeting someone who can refer you to a paying job or possibly the volunteer organization will find you invaluable and hire you. In any case, you have self-worth and can gain the positive energy from making a difference in someone's life." "There is a difference between having a reaction and having a breakdown," says Riedesel. "If you can't control the emotional, physical and mental symptoms you are experiencing as a result of that unemployment, it is important to seek professional help."

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. CELEBRATION
City hosts a parade and day-long celebration, featuring marching bands, floats, and Grand Marshal, Chief Dwayne Flournoy
Chief Dwayne Flournoy
Bill Julian
If you live in and around Hallandale Beach, this coming Monday (Jan. 16th) is going to be very special. The 24th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration, brought to you by the City of Hallandale Beach and The Community Civic Association Inc., will
Free Christmas Tree Curbside Pick-up
The City of Hallandale Beach will be doing a free Christmas tree curbside collection service for all residents of the city. The service continues every Thursday until February 24, 2012. To have your tree picked up you need to remove all the ornaments and the base and set it on the curb. After February 24, 2012, trees can be dropped off on Saturdays between the hours of 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Location for drop off is 630 NW 3rd Street. Proof of residency will be required. Please contact the Sanitation Division at 954-457-1616 with any questions.
Fire Hydrant Flushing
Hallandale Beach Fire Rescue will be flushing fire hydrants in the Northeast section of the City in January. This process is necessary to ensure, for your safety, there is adequate water pressure and flow in the event of a fire. Flushing the hydrants may temporarily cause an orange tint to your water. This in no way indicates any contamination of the water but may cause discoloration in your wash and is only a temporary condition. During this period, please open your faucets and check for discolored water. Should the water continue to run discoloration longer than five to ten minutes please contact the Water Department at (954) 457-1632.
take place, starting with an impressive parade at 10 a.m., which will start out at BF James Park (NW 2nd Ave and 9th Street) to Hallandale Beach Boulevard to NW 8th Ave (ending at O.B. Johnson Park).
GRAND MARSHAL This year, the Grand Marshal will be Hallandale Beach Police Chief Dwayne Flournoy, who has been a huge part of the community for decades. Chief Flournoy has worked his way through the ranks of the department, making a major impact along the way. This year's theme will be “A Beloved Community: Everyone Makes a Difference!” Among the special guests at this year's event will be MarshallBroward Sheriffʼs Office Chief Nichole Anderson, who is the first female AfricanAmerican Chief of the Broward Sheriff's Office. Another of this year's honorees is former Hallandale Beach Vice Mayor Bill Julian. For those who have been around this city for decades, you know how valuable Julian is. From his fundraisers to countless hours of helping to feed those down on their luck, his impact has been unbelievable. Julian is this year's recipient of the Humanitarian of the Year. After the parade is completed, the day is just getting started. From 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m., O.B. Johnson Park, 900 NW 8th Ave., will host the Battle of the Bands, guest speakers, musicians and singers, dancers, community information, vendors and childrenʼs activities. Event Sponsored by the City of Hallandale Beach and the Community Civic Association.
TRAFFIC ALERT During the observance of Martin Luther King, Jr., Day on Monday, January 16, 2012, there will be a parade on West Hallandale Beach Blvd. The parade will travel westbound from NW 2nd Ave., to NW 8th
Ave., to Johnson Park. While the parade in on Hallandale Beach Blvd., all westbound lanes of Hallandale Beach Blvd. will be closed to vehicular traffic. The lane closures should be between 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.

INDEED: TASTY RECIPES
COOL AIR USA
Best in residential & commercial air conditioning service
When Lindaʼs air conditioner quit working, it was 90 degrees outside and she was expecting house guests. “I was sure their visit would be miserable for them, as well as for my family,” she says. “I figured it would take several days to get it repaired.” But when Linda called Cool Air USA, the company sent a trained, certified technician out immediately. “The problem was fixed within hours,” she recalls. “The technician was friendly and courteous, and I could tell he was extremely knowledgeable. My guests kept cool during their visit, and we all were happy.” Gary was tired of his high summer electric bills. He also realized that his 15-year-old air conditioner wasnʼt cooling as well as it once did. So Gary called Cool Air USA and asked about installing a new, high efficiency unit. “The technician told me exactly what size unit that would be best for my home and informed me about different options,” he says. “After I decided to go ahead, they installed my new air conditioner quickly and professionally. They also cleaned up after themselves so well I couldnʼt even tell theyʼd been there. My new air conditioner does a great job of cooling, and because itʼs super efficient, my FPL bills have dropped significantly.” Linda and Gary are typical of Cool Air USA customers. The A+rated company based in Dania Beach can provide for all of your air conditioning needs quickly and efficiently. With more than 18 years in business, Cool Air USA prides itself on offering the latest, most technologically advanced equipment, as well as top quality customer service. Both installations of new units and repairs of existing ones are done by highly trained, certified technicians. PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION New air conditioning units are far more efficient than older models. They save energy so a homeowner can feel good about making a positive impact on the environment, and they can also significantly lower a homeownerʼs electric bills. “Air conditioning accounts for a large portion of most homeownersʼ electric bills during the sum-
Ducts that are not cleaned regularly can harbor dust, dirt, pollen, moisture, bacteria, and other pollutants that may increase the risk of asthma and allergy attacks, bronchitis, and eye irritation.
mer months,” says Edan Aviv, who operates Cool Air USA with partners Gil Nagar and Lior Poyastro. “A new, more efficient unit can also make a difference in comfort level because it cools more efficiently Rebates and tax incentives may even help defray the initial cost of the unit.”
WHAT’S LURKING IN THE DUCTS? Even an older air conditioner can be made more efficient and safe with regular maintenance. Cool Air USA technicians are experts at cleaning the ducts, a process that can greatly reduce indoor air pollution, as well as make the unit cool more efficiently. “Too many people neglect their air conditioners because the problems arenʼt visible,” Nagar says. “You may not notice that your unit isnʼt cooling as efficiently as it was before because the decline happens gradually. And you also may not be aware that dirty air conditioner ducts can actually harm the quality of the air in your home.” Ducts that are not cleaned regularly can harbor dust, dirt, pollen, moisture, bacteria, and other pollutants that may increase the risk of asthma and allergy attacks, bronchitis, and eye irritation. To take care of the problem, Cool Air USA carefully vacuums the ducts using a turbojet-powered machine that gets rid of any foreign substances lurking there. Then the supply vents are sealed to keep the ducts in pristine condition for as long as possible. “Once the duct system is professionally cleaned, it should stay that way for three to seven years,” Nagar says. DRYER VENT CLEANING Dryer vent cleaning is another service offered by Cool Air USA.
“Many homeowners donʼt realize that the vents in their clothes dryers can create fire risk,” Poyastro says. While the filter captures some of the lint that is created when you dry your clothes, it doesnʼt get all of it. “If the remaining lint builds up and comes into contact with the dryerʼs heating element, it can start to burn,” Povastro continues. “This is especially dangerous because
many people allow their dryers to operate while they are away from home.” A professional vent cleaning will solve the problem. “It is a hazard that people often donʼt think about,” Aviv says. “But it is easy to let us take care of things before there is a problem.” EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE Cool Air USA values
its customers and strives to provide them with the very best service. Technicians with North American Technician Excellence certification take meticulous care of your property and always clean up after themselves. “We know that service is what keeps people coming back to us,” Aviv says. “Much of our business comes from word-of-mouth, because satisfied customers recommend us to their friends. Weʼre proud of our reputation in the community, and we will always work hard to maintain it.”

Dinnertime pizzazz for less than $10
(ARA) - With food costs rising and budgets tightening, itʼs time to get creative at mealtime. The trick is to do more with less, and there are many great options -- from smart recipes to great food products -- to help stretch the dollar and delight the appetite. The experts at Target and SuperTarget offer tips to keep meal costs down: * Buy on sale. Check weekly ads in-store and online for deals. * Try the store brands. Brands like Archer Farms and Market Pantry at Target and SuperTarget taste great and cost less than national brands. * Plan a weekly menu. Use that as a basis for your shopping list. Youʼll stretch your dollars and your leftovers. Last nightʼs roast chicken is a perfect filling for taco night. Sautee the remaining shredded chicken with onion, warm up corn tortillas and add salsa, guacamole and a squeeze of lime juice. * Buy larger portions on sale to split up into smaller packages or
freeze. * Make it a challenge. Bring the family to the grocery store and challenge everyone to come up with a meal for $10 or less. Donʼt think a family meal for less than $10 is possible? Itʼs not only possible; itʼs a piece of cake to make. Try the following delicious recipes using Market Pantry ingredients from Target:
ENCHILADA LASAGNA PIE 8 ounces. lean ground beef 1 small onion, chopped 1 (15.5-ounce) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed 1 (10-ounce) can red or green enchilada sauce 4 corn tortillas, quartered 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
1. Heat oven to 350 F. 2. Cook beef and onion six to eight minutes or until beef is browned; drain. Season to taste. Stir in beans. 3. Spread a few spoonfuls of sauce in 8-inch deep dish pie
Farms wild-caught Patagonian scallops, thawed (from a 16ounce package) 2 teaspoons butter 1/2 cup prepared Alfredo sauce (from a 12.3-ounce jar) 2 tablespoons dry white wine 2 tablespoons garlic and herb cheese spread 1 tablespoon chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
plate. Layer half tortillas, beef mixture, half remaining sauce and half of cheese over sauce in dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and sauce. 4. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Remove foil, top with remaining cheese. Bake five more minutes or until cheese melts. Enjoy topped with sour cream and chopped cilantro (optional). SALAD WITH MEXICAN VINAIGRETTE Stir two tablespoons chopped cilantro into 1/2 cup Italian salad dressing. Serve over mixed
greens, tomatoes and green onions. A TWIST ON FLAN Spoon caramel ice cream topping over a dish of vanilla pudding. Sprinkle with toasted coconut. Date night doesnʼt have to mean dinner and a movie out on the town. When you throw in a babysitter your simple night out could cost more than $100. Stay in, rent a movie and make the following recipe for a delicious homemade dinner. Prepare frozen spinach and artichoke purses as an appetizer, an artisan French petite loaf
and a mixed salad for course number two and warm some prepared molten lava cakes topped with whipped cream for dessert. Youʼve got a restaurant-quality experience on your home turf. Candles optional. This menu of Archer Farms items makes a great dinner for two for less than $15. ARCHER FARMS SEARED PATAGONIAN SCALLOPS WITH HERBED LINGUINI ALFREDO 8 ounces linguini (from a 16-ouncepackage) 8 ounces Archer
1. Cook and drain linguini as directed on package. 2. Meanwhile, blot scallops with paper towels. Heat butter in large skillet over medium-high heat until foamy. Add scallops to skillet, not touching, in single layer. 3. Cook one minute or until well browned; gently toss to turn. Cook an additional minute or until just opaque. Stir in remaining ingredients except parsley. Heat just until hot. 4. Spoon scallops and sauce over pasta in serving dishes. Sprinkle with parsley. Courtesy of ARAcontent
