PRESCRIPTION DRUGS TAKE-BACK DAY
Hallandale Beach wants you to empty your medicine cabinets
On Saturday, October 29, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Hallandale Beach Police Department will partner with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to participate in the second National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day at three (3) locations in the City of Hallandale Beach. This national take-back initiative will provide unified opportunity for the public to voluntarily surrender expired, unwanted, or unused pharmaceutically controlled substances and other medications to law enforcement officers for destruction. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked. This initiative addresses a vital public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high. The public is encouraged to take advantage of this invaluable opportunity to safely dispose of unused and/or expired prescription drugs. Collection Sites: • Walmart (parking lot), 2551 E. Hallandale Beach Boulevard. • Publix (parking lot), 1400 E. Hallandale Beach Boulevard. • Winn-Dixie (parking lot), 1055 W. Hallandale Beach Boulevard.

FLU SEASON IS HERE. CHEN HAS YOU COVERED At Chen Medical, we believe that prevention is the key to a healthy life and peace of mind. Receiving a Flu shot can protect you during the cold and flu season. How does the Flu shot work? The vaccine works by exposing your immune system to dead strains of the influenza virus. When your body is exposed to the dead virus it builds up antibodies to help protect you from getting the Flu. Can the Flu Shot give you the Flu? No, the flu shot cannot give you the flu and the flu shot does not make you sick. Call Chen Medical today and ask about how you can receive a flu shot. Call 305-698-6500 to schedule an appointment. CHEN MEDICAL DOCTORS ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT NUTRITION AND PROVIDING THEIR PATIENTS WITH TIPS FOR MAINTAINING A HEALTHY BODY Chen Medical Centers is an advocate for healthy living. Our doctors understand that maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important to overall health and wellness. Chen Medical encourages all patients to eat a balanced diet and engage in exercise regularly. Here are few tips
from your ChenMed doctors on how to maintain a healthy body: Fill up on fruits and vegetables. Eat a variety and remember…no single food supplies all of the nutrients you need for balanced nutrition. Drink plenty of water throughout your day to flush toxins and avoid dehydration. Limit your sugar and salt intake. Foods high in sugar can leave you feeling sluggish, while foods high in sodium are damaging for your heart. The key to maintaining a healthy diet is preparation…so plan to eat healthy! Create weekly menus and make an effort to shop for fresh, wholesome foods. Eat plenty of whole grains, such as whole wheat bread, brown or wild rice, and whole wheat pasta. Exercise regularly for at least 30 minutes. A simple exercise routine may include a morning or evening walk, swimming, or water aerobics. Eat moderate portions and have regular meals to maintain a healthy blood sugar level and steady metabolism. Choose foods low in saturated fat and high in fiber whenever possible. Foods high in fiber, such as beans, spinach, and popcorn will keep you feeling fuller longer. Cook at home more often. Eating out can be expensive, and it is also less healthy than cooking your meals at home. Eat breakfast! Start your day and your metabolism with a nutritious breakfast every day. If you have any questions or if you would like to speak to a Chen Medical doctor, contact Chen Medical Centers at 305698-6500. ARE YOU WAITING FOR HOURS AT YOUR CURRENT DOCTOR’S OFFICE? CHEN MEDICAL PATIENTS TYPICALLY WAIT LESS THAN 30 MINTUES TO SEE THEIR DOCTOR! Your time is valuable. At Chen Medical Centers, we believe that our patients should not have to wait for hours on end to see their doctor. We closely monitor the time
our patients spend in our lobby to maintain an average wait time of 30 minutes or less per patient. We believe your time is precious, and we want to make sure that your time with us is spent where it counts…with your doctor. While we cannot entirely avoid a wait time in our lobby, we try to make your wait time minimal and as comfortable as possible. Chen Medical Centers offers healthy snacks and beverages in Maryʼs Café, complimentary to our patients waiting in the lobby. In Maryʼs Café, you will find a variety of fruits, including apples, oranges or bananas, we well as whole grain snacks such as granola bars, veggie chips, or muffins.

Search for a new city attorney may be coming to an end
‘AROUND THE CITY OF CHOICE’
HALLANDALE BEACH - Last Tuesday the City Commission conducted interviews with four City Attorney finalists. Originally six candidates were invited and scheduled but at the last minute two withdrew their applications. Each interview was scheduled for an hour and a half to provide ample time for the candidates to give a brief introduction and the Commission to ask questions. The Commission interviewed two law firms and two individual attorneys. After a daylong session, the City Commission debated at length whether to move to outside counsel or remain within an in-house attorney. During the course of the day we heard both pros and cons of each alternative. Staff, after being concerned with the change, did agree that outside counsel can work. After working with Interim City Attorney Dion who is part of a firm, I found that it can work. The majority of the Commission still was not comfortable with making the move to outside counsel unless the current Assistant City Attorney and AOA would remain on-site. The City Commission voted on a 4-1 vote to enter into contract negotiations with V. Lynn Whitfield, Esq. as our first choice. In this year's budget the city budgeted for a $160,000 base salary. The City Attorney would be eligible
for the same benefits as directors, including a $500 month car allowance. With everything combined including a cap at $203,000, City Commission directed the City Manager to conduct the negotiation giving flexibility to what combination of benefits Mrs. Whitfield and he could arrive at. In the event that the negotiations fail with Attorney Whitfield the Commission did agree our second choice would be outside counsel with the firm of Weiss, Serota, Helfman, Pastoria, Cole and Boniske. Our city is very familiar with this firm. We have hired them for many cases including the Waste Management Case, which they won on our behalf in trial. The City Manager was directed to negotiate with them based on their proposal and the understanding that we would want the Assistant City Attorney and AOA to remain in the city office. The city also took action last Monday to hire a
state lobbyist. The City issued an RFQ back in 2008 and Corcoran & Associates and Ronald L. Book were awarded the RFQ on December 3, 2008. The RFP was for three years, but based on an annual renewal by the City Commission. In the following two years, the City Commission authorized the agreement with Corcoran & Associates be extended for an additional year and for gaming issues, the City Manager was directed to work on an as needed basis with Ron Book. Since the RFP was due to expire and the legislative session was starting early this year, City Manager Antonio went out to RFP. Corcoran and Johnson worked exceptionally well as our general lobbyist. They spoke with the City Manager and Staff and informed them they were not going to participate in the RFP. Three firms did respond; Ron Book, PA, Colodny, Fass, Talenfeld, Karlinsky & Abate, P.A. and William Peebles PA. All three firms have an excellent track record and are well known in Tallahassee. Staff came back recommending Colodny be awarded the contract since they had been ranked the highest. Staff related the sentiment that all the firms were ranked similarly. However Colodny was $5000 less. Our main focus and priority will be to ensure that our pari-mutuels tracks
are provided parity. In the event any gaming legislation comes forward, we will not support any bills that do not give our tracks a level playing field. The city voted unanimously to hire Ron Book as our state lobbyist. He has always been our preferred lobbyist when it comes to gaming issues. His firm officially works with one other pari-mutuel; Flagler Dog Track located in MiamiDade. Committee weeks have already started and session officially begins in January due to redistricting. Many individuals continue to struggle with personal finances during these difficult economic times. As an Advisory Board Member of the US Conference of Mayors, I was approached to work on behalf the Conference in South Florida to help assist in facilitating the national partnership for personal financial planning. This weekend, in partnership with four national organizations; Certified Financial Planners Board of Standards, Financial Planning Association, Foundation for Financial Planning and the US Conference of Mayors, the South Florida Financial Planning Day will be conducted. Three South Florida locations have been selected; Miami, North Miami Beach and in Broward County at MacArthur High School, 6501 Hollywood Boulevard. Participants will re-
ceive free one-on-one personalized financial advice with no strings attached. The consultations will be provided by experts from the Financial Planning Association and Certified Financial Planners. There will also be workshops on various topics throughout the day. Topics will include budgeting, credit and debt, investing, retirement, homeownership, estate planning, insurance, employee benefits, education savings and more. There will be absolutely no solicitation whatsoever. These organizations are partnering to give back to the community and help individuals secure their financial future.

If you want to get into the Halloween “spirit” join the City in celebrating the Annual Outhouse Festival on Monday, October 31 at Peter Bluesten Park; starting at 6 PM.

Hollywood launches the Great Neighborhoodʼs Challenge
‘SPOTLIGHT ON HOLLYWOOD’
By Raelin Storey, Public Affairs Director HOLLYWOOD - The fabric of any City is woven from the unique qualities of that Cityʼs neighborhoods. For each of us in Hollywood – a City of 27 square miles - our individual experience may be quite different depending on where we live or work. What we absolutely share in common is the desire for our neighborhoods to be safe, inviting and thriving. When neighborhoods are improved, everybody benefits. The question is: with limited resources and such great need, how can we accomplish dramatic and positive change? Thatʼs where the Great Neighborhoods Challenge comes in. The Challenge is an initiative of the City of Hollywood, working with the Hollywood Council of Civic Associations, to engage residents, business owners and organizations in making each and every neighborhood throughout the City better—one house, one business, and one block at a time. To make the challenge even more exciting, cash prizes will be awarded to the individuals or organizations making the most dramatic, visible, impactful improvements to the appearance of both residential and non-residential properties. Neighborhoods will also have the opportunity to work together to design “a great place in a public space.” Is there a street in your neighborhood that
needs landscaping? Have you noticed medians that need to be replanted? Would you like to see a public art project decorate a public area? Neighborhoods can develop and submit their own designs with the top ideas getting the funding needed to make them a reality. The kick-off event is slated for Thursday, November 3 during the Neighborhoods Forum being held at the Fred Lippman Multipurpose Center, 2030 Polk Street from 5:30-8:30 p.m. Anyone interested in improving where they live, work or play is invited to attend and take part in the challenge by working with their Neighborhood Action Committee. These committees are being created to work in every area of the City—first to spread the word about the Great Neighborhoods Challenge, then to develop plans for ways to improve the public spaces in their neighborhoods. The contest will run from December 1 to April 1, so even if you miss the first meeting you can still get involved!

The immediate goals of the challenge are pretty simple: To make a big difference in the appearance and feel of neighborhoods across the City by engaging residents, business owners and organizations to make small, visible investments with a big impact. To transform small public

The Challenge gets the ball rolling…the results build momentum for continued progress!

Mayor Cooper and Hallandale Beach accepts the challenge
MAYORS UNITE TO CONSERVE WATER
With the region still under a water shortage, South Florida municipalities are uniting to conserve water in the Wyland Living Green Fairʼs 2nd Annual Mayorʼs Challenge. Introduced by the Wyland Living Green Fair in 2009, the Mayorʼs Challenge encourages healthy competition among South Florida cities by asking residents to commit to conserving water by taking the Wyland Foundationʼs Clean Water
Pledge. Mayor Joy Cooper and the City of Hallandale Beach have accepted the challenge. “Water conservation is a critical issue that affects each and every one of us living in South Florida,” said Susan Whelchel, mayor of Boca Raton. “The Mayorʼs Challenge is a fun and easy way for communities to come together to show their commitment to conserving water. We encourage all residents in the tri-county area to make
their conservation pledge today and help make an immediate difference to our local environment.” “While a number of water restrictions remain in effect, the Mayorʼs Challenge is an effort to get residents to think about other ways they can conserve water now and throughout the year to help our region achieve sustainability,” said David Etzler, Founder, Living Green Fair. “The goal of the Wyland Living

ment and failure to surround himself with progressive and knowledgeable people who make decisions to keep companies thriving, have really made the once proud Dolphins one of the worst pro franchises around. I grew up here and watched this team from the first year they held pre-season practices in St. Petersburg - before they moved to Biscayne College (St. Thomas University). I lived the years of the Joe Auers, Bob Grieses, Earl Morralls, George Wilsons and the Robbie family. That's why I feel more qualified than most to speak out. The horror show that we have seen here for the past decade is something that makes true Dolfans, like my family, which has held season tickets for every season since Flipper jumped around in his tank in the open end of the Orange Bowl, feel cheated for the money they are paying for a minor league product. You have to feel for Dolphin icons like Dan Marino, Griese and Don Shula, who saw this franchise become the best in all of sports with a winning percentage that other football teams could only dream about. But things have happened, and since 1984, the Dolphins have not been that elite team, and over the past 10 years, they have been disgraceful at times. All three are asked all the time by so many, what has happened to the franchise, and none can really speak out, not
wanting to hurt feelings. Let's face it, while Ross is a businessman and has made money at doing what he does in the world of finances, he is a fan. A fan who bought a team and felt that he could hire likeminded people to run this business. He also listened to the wrong people. When the Dolphins lost to Denver, dropping to 0-6 on Sunday, the blame continues to go on head coach Tony Sparano, and while you hate to see perhaps the hardest working person in the organization become the "reason" why the team is losing, it's the easy thing to do to mask the fact that Ross is a horrible owner. How else can anyone justify what has taken place during his regime. He hired a washed up, loud mouth, no longer respected Bill Parcells who felt that the good ole boy network would help his buddy Ross get adjusted to ownership. The only positive thing that came from the Parcells era was Sparano, who is a great coach and everything you want in your team leader. What Parcells sold Ross and people who were blind-sided by what the "Big Tuna" had done in the past was the reality that he was no longer the "guru" and proved that in Dallas by trying to pull something
over on real football fans. Blaming Sparano is actually admitting you know nothing about football. This man was set up to fail by having a an overmatched General Manager in Jeff Ireland overseeing this mess, it added up to the fact that this team drafts poorly and brings in non-playmaking athletes. To me, everything that is great about franchises such as New England, New York Giants and Jets, the Steelers and Green Bay are the fans in those areas would never, ever let things get this bad. Ross and the Dolphins, as they saw the Florida Gator/Tim Tebow thing blow up in their face - with boos and signs of disapproval, will soon find out that you cannot throw the loyal fans to the side in the name of being diplomatic. Not when it costs a family of four nearly $500 to attend one game! While he continues to listen to the advice of those who are ruining the image of this franchise, Ross better understand that if you go after someone like Bill Cowher, you had better clean your act up. Cowher comes from a franchise where they have done it the right way for five decades. The good ole buddy era will be over!

BETH DAVID MEMORIAL GARDENS & LEVITT-WEINSTEIN MEMORIAL CHAPELS & CEMETERIES
Levitt-Weinstein Memorial Chapels & Cemeteries along with Blasberg Rubin-Zilbert have been involved in the South Florida community for over half a century. What distinguishes Levitt-Weinstein & Blasberg Rubin-Zilbert is that these South Florida institutions are still operated by the third generation of the original founding families.
Beth David Memorial Gardens is growing to meet the needs of our community. Not only are they expanding their Private Family Estates, which allows the opportunity for the families to personalize and “build to suite “their individual desires. In addition, a new monument section is also being developed to assure those families who want a more Jewish traditional burial. Along with all this growth, Beth David has also begun construction on a new mausoleum building. “Our goal at Beth David is to grow and expand to meet the needs of the community and families that we serve. As long as the needs of our families continue, we will keep growing and developing.” Says Marc Rubin, Area Sales Director. Levitt-Weinstein Memorial Chapels & Cemeteries along with Blasberg Rubin-Zilbert have been involved in the South Florida community for over half a century. What distinguishes Levitt-Weinstein & Blasberg Rubin-Zilbert is that these South Florida institutions are still operated by the third generation of the original founding families. Life is uncertain, and it's important that the final resting place of a loved one be agreed upon. Our full-service funeral homes and cemetery are proud to be independently owned and locally operated.

public company traded on the stock market. Michael Blasberg, General Manager, said, "We have directors with over 100 years of combined arranging experience and are sensitive to the needs of families. We strive to build on our long-term relationships and create new ones that will stand the test of time." The services provided by Levitt-Weinstein Memorial
There are six chapels serving Dade, Broward, & Palm Beach Counties. Phone 1-888-800-9008. Visit them on-line at www.Levitt-Weinstein.com
Chapels & Cemetery along with Blasberg Rubin-Zilbert, though, dedicated to the Jewish community, are available to people from all walks of life. Although our cemetaries are strictly for Jewish burials, our funeral homes are available to service all faiths. Marc Rubin, Area Sales Director, said, "Whether your loved one is staying locally or transferring out of state, the funeral home is here for the needs of all people that we serve. The advantage of being privately owned and managed is
that decisions can be made quickly." "People make choices in life and plan ahead for many things," Rubin says. "When a death occurs, why place the burden on your family to make those eternal decisions for you? What if unforeseen situations arise, wouldn't you feel better knowing you made your plans beforehand?" Shari Bradley, Marketing Director, said, "One of the benefits of dealing with us NOW is that you're planning in advance, saving money and relieving your family of stress by having to make the last minute decisions when youʼre not necessarily thinking rationally." "Approximately 90% of the families we service have been prearranged," Rubin said. When you think about it logically, it makes sense because it is just another part of Estate Planning, like your Will; and you can handle your funeral and cemetery wishes at the same time with us." Rubin goes on to
say,"What are you going to do when a death occurs? It's important that each person has a pre-arranged plan. A person can set up a financial plan paid out over a period of time with no interest charges. One day you will need it, so why wait for that day to suddenly come? Long-term planning locks in at today's price and protects against inflation." Blasberg states, "There are no two funeral plans the same. Increasingly, the Chapel handles special requests such as "Personalized Funerals" that celebrate the life of the person. In a matter of speaking, death is a fact of life and in those challenging moments you want a family there to comfort you, to love, grieve, and remember your spirit. "LET OUR FAMILY TREAT YOUR FAMILY LIKE OUR OWN." Levitt Weinstein, Blasberg Rubin-Zilbert Funeral Homes and Beth David Memorial Gardens and Chapels.
“Our goal at Beth David is to grow and expand to meet the needs of the community and families that we serve. As long as the needs of our families continue, we will keep growing and developing.” Says Marc Rubin, Area Sales Director.

Will your flood insurance rate rise?
Hallandale Beach gears up for special Halloween night
OUTHOUSE FESTIVAL The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has developed new flood maps for Broward County with major revisions that could affect many Hallandale Beach residents and businesses. These maps are the result of the first comprehensive review of flood zones throughout Broward County in 15 years. The new maps were released in October 2011 and will be presented to the Broward community in a series of public meetings on November 14 – 16, 2011. FEMA staff members will be present to determine the current and proposed flood zones of properties and to answer questions of property owners, including how these new maps could affect your flood insurance. You are invited to attend one of the following Community/Public Meetings on three different days at three different locations in Broward County (south, central and north), as specified below: South South Regional Library (7300 Pines Boulevard, Pembroke Pines, FL 33024). Meeting Time: Monday, November 14: Public Meeting 4:00 PM-7:45 PM. Central Volunteer Park Community Center (12050 W. Sunrise Boulevard, Plantation, FL 33322). Meeting Time: Tuesday, November 15: Public Meeting 4:00 PM-8:00 PM. North Herb Skolnick Center (800 SW 36th Avenue, Pompano Beach, FL 33069). Meeting Time: Wednesday, November 16: Public Meeting 4:00 PM-8:00 PM.
The changes to the flood maps of the City of Hallandale Beach are significant. Fortunately, most homeowners will find that the new maps either do not change their current flood zones at all or they improve their current zone. The proposed flood zone area, or Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), is actually smaller than the current flood zone area. At the same time, the proposed area designated as less likely to flood (X Zone) is actually larger. The homeowners who are reclassified out of the flood zone will see a reduction in their flood insurance rates. If you are one of those whose property would change by being reclassified into the flood zone (from X Zone to SFHA), you will eventually see an increase in your flood insurance rate. However, initially you will be eligible for a Preferred Risk Policy, the lowest-cost flood insurance policy, from one to two policy years following the effective date of a map change. With this change, property owners should have adequate time to understand and plan for the financial implications of new maps and the mandatory purchase requirement. Less than 3% of the area in Hallandale Beach is proposed to change from X Zone to SFHA. Additional information can be gleaned at the following websites: • City of Hallandale Beach: www.hallandalebeachfl.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=212 • Broward County: http://www.broward.org/Regulation/Engineering/FloodZoneMaps/Pages/Default.aspx If you have questions concerning the new flood maps, you may call Earl King at 954-457-1669.
Fire Hydrant Flushing
Hallandale Beach Fire Rescue will be flushing Fire Hydrants in the Northwest section of the City from October 1st to the 31st. 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.
Across the country, Halloween is a special time when candy and costumes take center stage on an evening that youngsters remember forever. In Hallandale Beach, Halloween has always been one of the holidays that
the City and its many residents look forward to, and this year will be no exception. On Monday, October 31st, Peter Bluesten Park (501 SE 1st Ave.) will be the place to gather from 6-9 p.m.for a FREE event that is open to all.
From games to bounce houses, music and entertainment, the Outhouse Festival will have it all. In addition, refreshments will be available. One of the highlights of the evening will take place at 7 when the judging will begin
for the Costume Contest. This year, make plans to be on hand for all the fun! For more information, contact the City of Hallandale Beach at 954-457-1452.

PATIENT TESTIMONIALS "After searching for a caring, compassionate, conscientious, and competent dentist I finally found Elite Dental Center. Not only has Dr. Ivan Pelton continually provided state of the art treatment but he responds promptly to emergency situations with phone calls as well as with follow-up appointments. Dr. Pelton is unique among dentists. He really cares about his patients, taking time to fully explain all the treatment procedures that are to be performed in an easily understandable way. If all dentists were like Dr. Pelton there would be no dental phobia in America an appreciably less visits to the dentist," says Hugh B. "Dr. Pelton is just great. A friend recommended him to me, and it took only one appointment for me to switch to him from my old dentist. He did an outstanding job filling a cavity my old dentist had done a terrible job on. And he did what's certainly the best cleaning job I've had in years. In all, he's extremely thorough, meticulous, careful, and knowledgeable. On top of that, he's a super nice guy -- funny and easy going (yet very professional). The staff is just as nice and helpful. I highly recommend him,” says Raul S. "Dr. Pelton is efficient and runs on time. I really appreciate that of him. I also don't have to wait a long time to get an appointment either. His staff is courteous and Dr.Pelton cares about patients and dentistry," says Patricia D.

TIPS AND TRICKS: Use baking soda toothpaste. Sounds simple and it is. Baking soda in a concentration of 55% or greater will kill oral bacteria. Brushing with it or buying toothpaste with baking soda will decrease gum bleeding and tartar deposits. Fluoride, on the other hand, is beneficial to the teeth by strengthening them and making them resistant to decay. We recommend GelKam (no prescrition needed) for an excellent product that has much more fluoride than regular toothpaste. Stronger products are available by prescription. Got canker sores, use Cankermelts. You can purchase Cankermelts from Amazon.com. Cankermelts are made from licorice root and does not require a prescription to purchase. Got cold sores, use Vyroxin. It is effective for herpes virus lesions on the lips and can be purchased on Amazon.com. No prescription necessary. Toothpicks used daily between teeth have been shown to be as effective as floss. Research shows no statistical difference between people who toothpick between their teeth and those who flossed. If you prefer not to play with string,
gently pump the tip of the toothpick between the teeth and push it until you hit resistance. Then repeat 8-10 times per space. Work from the cheek-side aspect and don't try the insides until you have mastered the cheek side entries. An electric toothbrush is superior to a manual toothbrush. Yes it is! You get far better cleaning than using a manual toothbrush. The best brands are Oral-B Triumph (cheaper replacement heads) and Sonicaire. Replace heads every 2-3months. Make sure you brush your tongue when you brush. Many of the
bacteria that inhabit our teeth are on the tongue as well so brush them away and improve your breath in the process. Bleeding gums- get to the dentist. You most likely have gum disease which for most is a painless disease. So basically, your jaw bone may be getting eaten away by bacteria and you won't feel pain in 90% of the cases. It has been found that dental bacteria is gaining entry into our arteries and contributing to atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries. Get your teeth cleaned regularly and often if needed.

MOUNT SINAI COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CENTER
Hosts 8th Annual Ladies' Spa Day for cancer patients
On October 18th, The Mount Sinai Comprehensive Cancer Center hosted its 8th annual Ladiesʼ Spa Day. Approximately 60 women attended the event, all of whom are current cancer patients receiving treatment at Mount Sinai or cancer survivors. The women enjoyed a day of pampering and relaxation while also being provided with helpful information to manage their cancer. Free services included manicures, massages, facials, hair styling and make-up application. In addition, attendees were invited to participate in free energy therapy, meditation and yoga sessions. Information on healthy eating and integrative medicine were also presented by Mike Cusnir, M.D., oncologist at Mount Sinai. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, bedazzled bras were hung around the room and later modeled in a special fashion show presented by Nordstrom. Among the survivors at this event was Dulce Hill, who was diagnosed with liver cancer a year ago and was originally told she had just two months to live. “These types of treatments are what make you want to keep on going because I feel very good inside and very full of life. So, I want to look on the outside the way I feel on the inside and show that world that Iʼm still here and Iʼm alive,” said Hill. A special appearance and motivational speeches by Miss Florida 2011, Lissette Garcia, and Mrs. Florida 2009, Teresa Sheffield, empowered many of the women to realize that confidence and beauty, truly come from within.
Maintaining pets' healthy gums too great to be ignored
(NewsUSA) - Smelly doggie breath can be annoying. And dog owners will go to great lengths to eliminate or cover it up. But be aware -- pet oral care goes beyond preventing bad doggie breath. Poor gum health allows nasty bacteria to make a beeline straight for a pet's circulatory system, which can have harmful effects on vital organs. Periodontal disease, the leading health condition affecting threefourths of dogs and cats age three or older, is often the result of pet owners not regularly providing at-home oral care and veterinary assessments and treatments. Plaque on pets' teeth forms as bacteria and food particles coat the teeth and develop a biofilm. If not cleaned off, plaque irritates the gum line and can cause gingivitis and harden on the tooth surface to cause tartar. With more accumulation, gingivitis may progress to periodontal disease. Diseased gums can act as a bacterial su-
perhighway into the circulatory system of the pet and may ultimately adversely affect vital organs. "Gum disease, which research tells us can affect more than just a pet's mouth, is initiated by plaque accumulating on teeth and not being cleaned," said Dr. Jan Bellows, veterinary dental specialist and incoming president of the American Veterinary Dental College. "The good news is every pet parent has the power to keep their pet's teeth clean and gums healthy. It starts with daily at-home oral care with brushing or Veterinary Oral Health Council
(www.vohc.org)-approved dental products. And each pet should have a veterinary oral exam at least annually with professional cleanings as advised." Pet owners will be thrilled to know that Greenies Brand recently introduced a canine dental chew that carries the Veterinary Oral Health Seal of Acceptance for reduction of plaque and tartar build-up and is clinically proven to help maintain healthier gums. These fifth-generation chews by Greenies use a highly palatable, natural recipe with added vitamins and minerals, are nutritionally
complete and balanced and are available in veterinary clinics and pet specialty stores nationwide. For more information, visit www.greenies.com.

Solving problems that damage your home and business
WATER LEAKS: DAMAGE HAPPENS QUICKLY It doesnʼt take much time for a water leak to do extensive damage to your home or business. In fact, it can happen just hours after the leak occurs. 1st Priority Restoration can find the leak and fix it quickly, using the latest. state-of-theart technology. Its noninvasive, infrared thermal imaging equipment can detect the precise location of the leak within a wall or up to 12 feet underground, greatly minimizing the area of wall or floor that needs to be removed. When the leak is fixed, technicians will fully restore the area to its original condition.
WORKING DIRECTLY WITH YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY To save the home and business owner time and money, 1st Priority will work directly with your insurance company. Its professional staff will identify and assess both visible and hidden damage, submit all bills, and take care of any negotiations. There is no out-of-pocket cost for the home or business owner. This helps you to avoid headaches now as well as in the future. The insurance company adjuster wants the best outcome for the insurance company, and may not actively seek out unseen damage that is behind walls or under floors. 1st Priority, however, advocates for the homeowner, and its technicians will use their skills and experience to identify even the hidden damage that may cause problems in the future if it is not fixed. HOW DO LEAKS HAPPEN? Some leaks happen when water gets in from the outside, such as after a heavy rain or flood. Others can occur within your plumbing system and will unnecessarily increase your water bill. Determining whether you have this kind of leak is easy. Simply read your water meter just before leaving the house for several hours or going to sleep for the night.
vital to keeping the environment in your home or business a healthy one.
When you return, or wake in the morning, read the meter again. If no leak exists, the readings should be about the same. If the second reading is higher, you probably have a leak that is driving up your costs and may be causing unseen damage. If you suspect you have a leak, donʼt wait. Call 1st Priority Restoration immediately to fix the problem.
A JOB FOR PROFESSIONALS Detecting and removing toxic mold is not a simple process, and it should be done by a professional. Using the best technology and tools available, 1st Priority Restoration can get rid of the mold in your home or business before it becomes a serious problem. Mold can grow anywhere that moisture exists. Air conditioning ducts are the most common place, but it can also form behind drywall, under carpets, and on furniture and fabrics. And mold may already be growing on a surface that is not yet releasing enough spores so it is visible. The first step in eliminating mold is to do a professional inspection. Just as they do to find water leaks, 1st Priority technicians will use non-invasive thermal imaging to find areas of moisture that are hospitable to spores. To make sure they identify the existence of mold at the earliest stage possible, they will do three types of testing: air quality, wall cavity, and tape samplings. The samples are sent to an outside lab, and results are usually returned within 48 hours.
IS MOLD MAKING YOUR HOME TOXIC? 1st Priority specializes in ridding your home or business of mold that may be making the air you breathe toxic. When mold exists, it can exacerbate symptoms of asthma and other respiratory ailments, as well as cause coughing, sneezing, and headaches. And some people are highly allergic to it. WHAT IS MOLD? Mold is a living organism that can grow very rapidly under certain conditions. It reproduces by emitting microscopic spores that float through the air and land on damp surfaces, where they begin to feed on the material on which they are resting. Thousands of different kinds of molds exist, and some are known allergens. A few produce harmful chemicals called mycotoxins that can seriously affect many parts of the body. But all molds, in the right conditions and in high enough concentrations, can adversely affect human health. Getting rid of mold is
GOODBYE, MOLD Once technicians determine that mold exists, they remove it completely. It is not enough to kill it, be-
cause injurious chemicals and proteins can remain even in dead mold. Permeable material such as drywall must be treated or replaced. Because spores are released during the removal process, 1st Priority Restoration uses an air scrubber to keep the spores from settling. Then, a special Hepa filtering system effectively traps the spores to clean furniture and other surfaces. After the removal is finished, 1st Priority technicians restore the area to its original condition.
UV PREVENTION SYSTEM To avoid the return of mold and to retain the high quality of the air you breathe, 1st Priority Restoration can install an ultraviolet light system that connects to your air conditioning. It kills mold spores before they have a chance to create a problem. The UV system will work continuously, helping to keep your AC ducts clear of mold so you will not have to worry that you may be breathing in toxins.
air quality. Cleaning the ducts can get rid of unwanted substances, as well as reduce cooling costs by allowing the air conditioner to work more efficiently. Because a clean system is less likely to break down, it can also reduce repair bills.
OZONE TREATMENT If your home or business has an unpleasant odor due to smoke damage or biohazards, 1st Priority Restoration can help. Technicians will use a highly effective ozone treatment to eliminate the odor and restore the air quality. 1ST PRIORITY RESTORATION: THE PLACE TO CALL 1st Priority Restoration does it all. Whatever the source of damage or contamination to your home or business might be, 1st Priority can identify it, repair it, and restore the area to its original condition, all while working
directly with your insurance company. The company provides start-to-finish, 24hour service 365 days a year for repairing water, fire and smoke or wind damage, leak detection and repair, and ozone treatment. Technicians follow through with debris clean-up, manipulation and packing, storage, cleaning and sanitizing, using the latest technology to restore your property and belongings to its preloss condition. To save you time, 1st Priority can work directly with your insurance company. 1st Priority Restoration provides the fast action and thorough service that are the most important factors in reducing or eliminating structural damage. Disaster does not knock at the door— it occurs unexpectedly. 1st Priorityʼs goal is to respond quickly and restore your home or business with the least amount of inconvenience to you.

Serve up some impressive foods this Monday night
HALLOWEEN TREATS HALLOWEEN SNACK MIX 3 Tbsp. butter 1/4 cup peanut butter 4 cups Chex cereal 1 cup salted peanuts 1 cup cheese crackers (such as Goldfish) 1 cup miniature marshmallows 3/4 cup powdered sugar
chicken breast (optional) 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese sliced black olives red bell pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 large pretzel rod, broken in half 4-ounces cream cheese, softened Dark rye bread Red pepper Black olive slices Parsley sprigs Assorted crackers
1. Place butter and peanut butter in a microwave-safe container. Heat on high 30 seconds. Stir, and repeat until melted. 2. Place Chex cereal, peanuts and cheese crackers in a large bowl. Pour peanut butter mixture over, and toss well. 3. Transfer mixture to a gallon-size zipper-sealed storage bag. Add marshmallows and powdered sugar. 4. Seal, and toss well to coat. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to one week.
1. Beat cheeses, pumpkin, preserves and spices in medium bowl until smooth. Cover refrigerate 2 to 3 hours until cheese is firm enough to shape. 2. Shape mixture into round pumpkin, place on serving plate.Using a knife, score vertical lines down pumpkin. Place pretzel rod in top for stem. Cut bread into triangles for eyes, cut red pepper into triangle for nose, and cut olives in half to make the mouth. Surround with parsley. 3. Serve with assorted crackers.
JACK-O'-LANTERN CHEESE BALL 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese 1/4 cup pumpkin puree 1/4 cup pineapple preserves
ENGLISH MUFFIN PIZZA 4 English muffins, split 1-1/2 Tbsp. butter 1/2 cup pesto sauce 3/4 cup shredded cooked rotisserie
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. 2. Butter each English muffin half. Place on a cookie sheet, buttered side up, and bake on center rack until lightly golden, 5 minutes. 3. Spread pesto sauce over English muffin halves. Top with shredded chicken and mozzarella cheese. Bake 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and golden. 4. Decorate each English muffin pizza with two black olive slices for eyes. Cut little triangles out of red pepper. Place on pizzas for the monster's nose. Makes 8 Halloween pizzas. PUMPKIN CORN BREAD 1/3 cup corn oil 1 cup unbleached flour 1 cup cornmeal (try blue cornmeal!) 1 1/4 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt 1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup soy buttermilk (add 2 tsp vinegar to 1/2 C soy milk and let curdle) 1/2 cup applesauce 2 Tbsp. sweetener (sugar, fructose, etc.)
Brush the inside of a 9″ or 10″ cast-iron skillet with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Place in the oven, then set the oven temperature to 425 F. If you donʼt have a skillet, use a cake pan, but just grease it for now and donʼt put it in the oven. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cornmeal, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin, buttermilk, remaining oil, applesauce, and sweetener. Then stir the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Remove the skillet from the oven, pour in the batter, return to the oven, and bake 30 to 40 minutes, until the center is firm. PUMPKIN COOKIES 1 cup unbleached sugar (or 2/3 cup fructose) 1 cup pumpkin puree 1/2 cup non-hydrogenated shortening
(Spectrum brand is great) 2 cups unbleached flour (1/2 whole wheat + 1/2 spelt is a yummy combo) 1 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 tsp. nutmeg 1/4 tsp. salt 1 Tbsp. orange peel
Heat oven to 375. Mix sugar, pumpkin, and shortening. Stir in the rest of the ingredients. (Chocolate or carob chips are a great addition to stir in now, if you desire.) Drop by large tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet, and bake until “light brown”, about 8-10 minutes. Take cookies immediately off cookie sheet, and if desired, frost after they are fully cooled. Makes about 2 dozen smallish cookies. Also, when I double this recipe I use 1/2 cup Spectrum shortening and 1/2 cup Earth Balance margarine. CHOCOLATE HARVEST NUT PIE 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar 1/3 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup light corn syrup 3 eggs 3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans 1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts 1/4 cup slivered almonds 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust Whipped topping(optional)
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Stir together brown sugar, cocoa and salt. Add corn syrup, eggs, butter and vanilla; stir until well blended. Stir in pecans, walnuts and almonds. Pour into unbaked pie crust. To prevent overbrowning of crust, cover edge of pie with foil. 2. Bake 30 minutes. Remove foil. Bake additional 25 to 30 minutes or until puffed across top. Remove from oven to wire rack. Cool completely. 3. Garnish with whipped topping and additional nuts, if desired. Cover; store leftover pie in refrigerator. 8 servings.
