Chief Flournoy to step down in the fall

Has spent 29 years with the Hallandale Beach Police Department

By Larry Blustein sfsuntimes@aol.com As a “Resource Officer” over 25 years ago at Hallandale Senior High School, you could tell a lot about Chief Dwayne Flournoy.

A former athlete and student at Boyd Anderson High School - where he was a friend and classmate of NBA Hall of Fame basketball standout Mitch Richmond - Flournoy had everything going for him. He also cared about people.

As he impacted the school and its students over the years, those in high places in the City, recognized what he could do for a community that had long searched for the bridge between law enforcement and a city that had its share of problems.

Through the years, Flournoy would climb the ladder in the Hallandale Beach Police Department. No matter what administration was in place, he was someone who could fit in - because of his personality, will to work harder than everyone and wanted the community and the police to be on the same page.

Last Friday, after nearly 30 years on the force, the likable and respected Police Chief announced that in September, he would leave his position. While many were surprised by the decision, those close to him knew that he had accomplished so much - and stepping aside was the right thing.

This Year, Give Mom Something Special And Different When it comes to our mothers, there is nothing we won’t do for her to make her happy.

After all, she raised us and was always there - no matter what.

Mom has always represented that person who was a shoulder to lean on; someone to share the great news with and support us in so many ways.

With Mother’s Day coming up on May 14th, flowers and candy are always nice - and every mom would love a box of chocolates. But if you really want to get her something special - that she can share with everyone - how about cologne or perfume?

Brand International Perfume in Hallandale Beach has the best deals - with tremendous savings on eve-

rything from perfume sets to designer brand name sunglasses.

This month, in honor of mom, the savings will add up, as you shop for gifts for your special someone. The top fragrances in stock are the real thing - just at rock bottom prices!

City budget has really become important this year

By Mayor Joy Cooper Hallandale Beach - Many of our readers may be unaware that I have the honor of being one of the Sun Sentinel’s 100. This is a group of leaders at different levels of government industry and education that share their thoughts on a wide array of issues.

Some are selected for print and the other submissions are listed weekly on-line. Two weeks ago, my thoughts were published regarding the legislative proposal to put a constitutional amendment to add another 25,000 to homestead exemption. The proposed amendment as of the writing of this article had passed the house, then went to the senate. The Senate passed an amended bill and it must go back to the house.

The thought of a tax cut is very enticing and if it gets on the ballot, the odds are that it will pass. But what does it really mean? Yes, everyone that is homesteaded, will get to reduce their taxable value by $25,000, but it does not mean taxes will go down.

They will be displaced by commercial and non-homesteaded property. I have not asked for the figures for our City yet, but it may mean many properties will not pay taxes. If you have a value of $75,000 and under, you will be getting your Police, EMS and many services for free while others foot the bill.

This will have a direct impact to our level of services. I have been writing about our new commission and

preparing for this budget. In years past, there was an easy buffer for someone to vote no. If you count to three, it does not matter as our budget need only be passed on a 3-2. This year, there maybe cuts, but maybe not. This Friday, May 5th at 11 am City Manager Carlton has asked to hold a budget workshop to review both the CRA and City budgets. A comment came during this request which is of great concern to me and should be to everyone.

For the past years, we have been putting funds aside to save for beach re-nourishment. We have directly budgeted funds and have required developers to contribute as part of their mitigation to their impacts. Our City will be required to provide a local match towards any project that is performed. The state and federal government also contributes. Depending on the final project scope, we as a City would need to provide anywhere from a million, if not millions, to make sure our beach receives much needed sand.

City Manager Carlton brought up that we utilize this designated reserve to balance our budget this year. His theory is that since this project may not be done for two to three years, we may use the fund. This also depends on what portion is from developer agreements and if we can divert them to the general fund. I was taken aback at this suggestion, our residents need to understand that if this current com-

mission, does not want to keep or raise the millage rates, projects like this could be in jeopardy and in cases like this, kicked down the road.

In my years as mayor, we have had to go through lean times during the recession. We delayed some capital projects. Even then, we planned and started to set aside money for the fire station and made tough decisions like increasing our fire fee. We understood as leaders, it was not about political anti-tax rhetoric “cut taxes-cut taxes.”

As a matter of fact, our tax rate is 1.0 mill less than when I came into office 16 years ago. As leaders, we need to work towards good government and making sure our services that our bosses, the residents demand, are maintained and/or improved.

There is a continued statement that we need zero base budgeting. As I have written in the past, this does not work for all services in our City. We must provide Police, Fire, EMS, drinking water, sewer and drainage. We are required by the state to enforce regulations and laws that are not funded by the state “un-funded mandates.” We do need to maintain our roads, sidewalks, parks and other City facilities.

The true zero base department is social services like the Hepburn Senior Center and children after school care. Our mini bus, could be looked at a zero base, as we do not have to have it. We could become a “contract city,” but you, the taxpayer will still have to pay for services. We can sell

off our utilities, but once they are sold, there will be built increases, as anyone wanting the contract will have to give everything up front, but the included increases. I for one, truly believe that the hard measures we took to address pensions, give us the ability to provide better services under the right leadership.

We also start every year with pension and other employer obligations. I have always supported our hardworking employees and our first responders. I believe we need to work together on benefits. We also need to understand, like taxes, if you increase services or benefits, there needs to be a tax increase or cuts in other areas.

I encourage everyone to get involved in the process. Let me know what you would like? If you want lower tax rates (ours compared to others is already low), then, what do you want cut? What do you want added?

Please visit our city website at www.cohb.org for more information on all our meetings and meeting agenda material.

As always please feel free to contact me anytime with your questions concerns and ideas at 954-457-1318 office, cell/text at 954-632-5700 or you can email me a joy@mayorjoycooper.com.

I also welcome the opportunity to come to your next meeting to review our budget and other city issues anytime. Call the above number to schedule an appointment.

Flournoy

Dr. Angelo Gousse, Board Certified Urologist Expert In Bladder Control (305) 606-7028 From Page 1A

Beach Police Department in 1987 after serving three years in the United States Army as a Military Policeman. During his career, he has worked a number of assignments including Patrol Officer, School Resource Officer, Gang Officer and SWAT team member and leader.

Chief Flournoy has also worked in an undercover capacity assisting federal law enforcement agencies in dismantling drug trafficking organizations.

Through the years, Flournoy had immersed himself in the position - rolling up his sleeves and going out and taking part in everything. Since being appointed 11 years ago, he was not only

the face off the department, but he wanted to make the citizens understand that the work that he would be doing was not from behind a desk.

“To know what I am all about, you have to understand that I grew up and matured in this job,” Flournoy has said all along. “Having the chance to learn so much from the great people who came before me, was an advantage that you don’t often get.”

Just like any job, Flournoy went through growing pains. That happens anytime you have a community that has people with varied opinions and strong feelings. He also felt the heat back in 2015, when he was deemed “unfit for duty” - but he hurdled that obstacle and continued to represent Hallandale Beach in a first class manner.

The Hallandale Beach Police Depart-

ment became the first in Broward County to start wearing body cameras.

The use of body cameras was part of new reforms sweeping through the department. Flournoy hired an independent consultant to provide a review of the department’s use of force.

“A job like that - in any community is never easy,” Carla Losano of Hallandale Beach said. “You hear criticism of any police department in any city and you have to sometimes take it with a grain of salt. This may appear to be a small city to some, but it is unique.”

Indeed, Hallandale Beach may be one city, but it has many layers. From the beach, to east of U.S. 1, to the northwest and southwest areas, it is a community that is ever growing.

In addition, being able to work with the City Commission is another obsta-

cle, especially in Hallandale Beach, has never been easy. But because of his approach to things and his love for the position, Flournoy has always managed to at least keep an open line of communication.

Longtime Mayor Joy Cooper who has been in office through his duration as Chief, has always spoken positively about Flournoy. His involvement with everything from the Relay For Life to the popular “Shop With A Cop” has earned him a solid reputation in the community.

“When we first started many of the activities, you would always see Chief Flournoy on hand to show his support,” Mayor Cooper has long spoke about.

“Just the way he gets involved with so many community events, it shows the residents, the leadership that the police force has.”

guests became enthralled with the verdant gardens.

Attendees walked at their own pace on a smooth gravel trail that circles the lake where tranquility envelopes the senses.

Afterwards, everyone met at the café and enjoyed a satisfying Japanese box lunch.

Not only did they enjoy an outstanding cuisine, but members were educated on a chapter of Florida segregation history with historian and author Seth H. Bramson.

Bramson’s friend, Ted Grossman, host/producer, WLRN, “Night Train,” helped with the presentation of Florida memorabilia. Between bites of a hearty breakfast, eyebrows were raised to learn all was not harmony in paradise where documented Klan gatherings and “Restricted Clientele” hotel signs were once visible in Miami Beach.

“It was great having Seth Bramson here who gave a history lesson to our group particularly since his book celebrates the City of Sunny Isles Beach’s 20th anniversary.

Bramson is a recognized well-informed historian of South Florida; a living jewel. We welcome him to give talks on other aspects of Florida,” said Norman Edelcup, CEO, Sunny Isles Beach Foundation.

NEW BUTTERFLY GARDEN AT ATTUCKS MIDDLE SCHOOL In celebration of Arbor Day, the City of Hollywood Department of Public Works and the Green Team Advisory Committee partnered with Tenusa Landscaping to provide plants and trees for a butterfly garden at Attucks Middle School. The kids worked hard planting the butterfly-attracting Florida native species in their newly created garden at the entrance of the school.

Service Dog "Roger" was honored on April 19th by Hallandale Beach Mayor Joy Cooper - because he opened the doors for all service dogs in the City and the USA to be welcome everywhere.

He was abused and discriminated against in a local Hallandale Beach store last year by a worker who said: “ Roger should not come back to the store - and that all dogs that are service dogs with a ‘mean voice’ are not welcome in the store.”

There was no sign on the front door, welcoming in service dogs. After his owner made two YouTube videos, there is a sign on the front door, welcoming all service dogs.

Service dogs should never be abused and discriminated against by anyone - and that includes corporations, stores, airlines, landlords, condo boards, etc.

years since they have been together. He is a family member.

Mayor Cooper is going to start classes in Hallandale Beach to train people about service dogs. It was a great day for "Roger" the service dog.

Service dogs are very important to disabled people. Roger has saved his owner Joe Bernzweig’s life many times during the 12+

Zen and the Art of (Body) Maintenance

Dr. Richard Levin, President of Urodocs Center for Men's Health, is always in touch with the needs of his patients

We have uncovered a variety of extremely important medical conditions - from Heart Disease, to Metabolic Syndrome, to Thyroid Disease & Vitamin Deficiency and Kidney Disease.

Aventura - We at Urodocs, know that humans are complex machines.

We run on fuel, we have precise and individualized needs. We certainly deserve at least as much as our beloved cars do. So, we check our labs, remind ourselves to drink water, and if we are stone formers, reimage regularly. Ultrasound technology is fantastic for this. It is virtually harmless, extremely informative, relatively inexpensive and it is also readily available. We examine all our patients from top to bottom. We discuss history in great detail.

Then we check labs for overall health maintenance data, such as Hormone profile, sugar, Cholesterol, metabolism and vitamin deficiencies.

This data is essential to your overall health. We have uncovered a variety of important medical conditions, from Heart Disease, metabolic syndrome to Thyroid disease, vitamin deficiency and kidney disease. We work closely with outstanding specialists in all these related fields, when indicated.

Urologic Health, Mens Health, Stone Diet and Healthy Lifestyle are all one and the same. We often start with the American Diabetic Association Diet, the Mediterranean Diet and then tailor them to our patients' needs.

We increase water intake, decrease salt intake, limit simple carbs, allow complex carbs and avoid fried foods. The challenge arises, when we advise of limiting to eat meat.

Red meats are the most egregious sources of acid in our unhealthy acid-ash diet (barbecued beef), but poultry and even fish can contribute.The answer then, is more vegetables (but not more fruits necessarily, as fruits are high in fructose, a simple sugar). Balance then is the key, we need our meats, our sugars, our fats and our vegetables.

We need natural sources of vitamins. The recipes to follow are a great resourceful, starting point, which is a road map to health.

Mens Health and the Testosterone Conundrum Men tend to focus on the obvious, muscle mass, weight and of course, heart health, these are all quite important. Our bodies are much more complicated than we realize, we have a vast Neuro-Endocrine system that acts as fuel a governing system to all our other systems.

Some men think that just bumping up Testosterone levels with Hormone Replacements of the day, will be the fountain of youth. Let’s start with the basics, we need Testosterone to take us out of idle, to drive at highway speeds, too much, we blow out our engines, crash and burn, too little and we just drag. Testosterone is a cholesterol based hormone, produced by testicles and adrenal glands. It helps to stimulate the bone marrow, the muscles, the development of sex glands, the maintenance of sexual function, the brain and most probably all of our organs, to function at top speed and effectiveness, the lack of testosterone puts a dampener on all of these functions, clearly not an on or off switch.

What is less clear, is why we have a natural decline in the serum that Testosterone levels have as we age. Is it to prevent Cancer or just a flaw in the system? Those that seek medical management, believe they are too low for their age. Those that self treat, believe there is a flaw in design and are trying to use Hormone management to beat the system. Many respected Physiologists and Physicians are concerned that too much Testosterone and other Hormones can result in Cancer. It seems that heart disease and stroke clearly are the more immediate risks, especially if treatment is done haphazardly.

What seems to be clear is the range that is safe and health promoting, surpassing that is ill advised. Whats more, the method of Hormone Replacement seems as important as the levels. Too many men take medications and titrate it to how they feel. They are risking acute Cardiovascular events like stroke and organ failure. This is so true, that there is now a black box warning on FDA ap-

proved Testosterone supplementations.

Few specialists are trained and up to date on all of this. A Urologist and an Endocrinologist are best trained to understand this complex physiology. Most general Urologists don't really understand the Cardiovascular and Hematological aspects of HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy). Most Endocrinlogists are overwhelmed with more "important" concerns, such as Diabetes and Thyroid disease. This has left a void, filled by an army of snake-oil salesmen, with nice credentials. The famous Connecticut Senator and Circus founder, PT Barnum, said, "a sucker is born every day" and many of these doctors have proved him correct, at the expense of the patient’s safety.

Not a week goes by, where I don't see a young male whose fertility has been negatively impacted by inappropriate use of HRT for "health." I see big, strong men with tiny testicles, made permanently dependent upon HRT. I see "healthy" men with kidney failure. The results of men trying to play G_d with their bodies, do not understand the risks or damage that they are causing.

We have found viral and other treatable causes for LOW T, and have managed to improve levels without Testosterone, quite often and we have uncovered underlying diseases as well, our approach is scientific and features multi-specialty evaluation and treatment, all within our center. There is no, one size fits all approach to Hormone Management for men's health.

We found striking similarities in the evaluations of men with kidney stones and men with concerns about low Testosterone. This allowed Urodocs to create an algorithm for evaluation and management across a broad spectrum of concerns. What became obvious to me, writing these chapters, is how interdependent our bodies are, every organ effects the others and every disease is related. Every treatment has a striking overlap. Even with seemingly very different problems, the Urologist is many things. We are often the first Physician anyone needs (with Kidney Stones and UTIS). We must then be able to function as a primary care doctor for that period of the patient's life. We may be asked to function as the Gynecologist for a woman who comes to us for simple UTIS. We trained to be surgeons, when seeing a patient for abdominal pain, Cancer or Stones. We need to be knowledgable about the Reproductive System, Endocrinology and Infertility. We can help our Cardiology and Neurology colleagues who are trying to prevent Strokes and Heart Disease, with proper Hormone Management. I believe that all men should be treated by a Urologist, just as all women should be treated by a Gynecologist. We do not replace Advanced Primary Care Physicians, as it is not our medical specialty. We are essential to the maintenance of thew health and well being of men, in a similar manner as the Gynecologist is to women. Our expertise in men’s health is very broad.

Here at Urodocs, we pride ourselves with the most extensive and broad based knowledge described here, it is necessary to be the best physicians that our patients need.

Aside from Hormone Management and advice, what else is there to Men's Health? The field is in its infancy and I am on the vanguard. We assist in diagnosing Cardiac Health problems, we give advice for proper diets, we also assist in diagnosing Pre-Cancerous patients by performing preventative testing for Cancer and Stones.

An example, a young man came to me with Erectile Dysfunction. I obtained a full evaluation, I diagnosed him with Diabetes and some early Cardiovascular Disease.

He was referred to specialists, who put him on the right track to prevent and delay complications. This is because we did not just give him Viagra (tm) and send him away, we evaluated him and upon further testing, we found an underlying condition that caused symptoms which were unusual for his age. We discovered that he

When Dr. Levin was a resident in urology, he learned that his purpose in his professional life was to try to give people a longer happier life. Anything he offered was to improve the length and quality of life.

We found striking similarities in the evaluations of men with kidney stones and men with concerns about low testosterone.

was suffering from a Metabolic Sydrome which caused the effect, which in this case was Erectile Dysfunction.

In the coming months, we will share many studies that will inform and educate our many readers as well as patients. Our column in the Sun Times Newspaper is here to answer questions and help with any problems you may have. Please contact us with any medical questions that you feel need to be resolved by a Physician. that may be on your mind.

Ask Dr. Ron: Is Being Gay a Choice?

Dr. Ron… My nephew just informed our family that he is gay. I don’t know why he chose a gay life-style… He’s so handsome; beautiful women just adore him. Do you know why people choose this type of life?.... CJ, Hollywood It may not be a choice… Many experts suggest that homosexuality, or heterosexuality for that matter, is not a “choice,” but rather a born trait.

Researchers and scholars have been trying to answer this question for many years. None have been able to do so. The 3 main areas which have been under study have been environmental theories, biological theories, and genetics.

The late, great Sigmund Freud, had one of the most compelling arguments for those believing homosexuality develops from environmental factors. Freud suggested that when a child is not able to relate & identify with the same-sex parent, the child will relate and identify only with the opposite-sex parent, including the opposite-sex par-

a common goal for many Americans these days, and strawberries can help. In addition to being packed with antioxidants and fiber, strawberries are also rich in phytochemicals, which have been shown to reduce overall cholesterol levels. In addition, the potassium found in strawberries may help control blood pressure and fight strokes.

It's easy to see why you should eat eight strawberries each day. Grab a handful today - your body and taste buds will be glad you did.

(BPT) - Eight strawberries, a single serving, delivers on a surprising checklist of benefits for anyone looking to live a healthier lifestyle. Strawberries are much more than a sweet and delicious treat - they are a versatile fruit that's great for your health. What better time than National Strawberry Month to share six health benefits of strawberries that may be new to you. Grab a handful of strawberries and read on, because eating right has never tasted so good.

• Strawberries help you stay sharp. A recent study in the Annals of Neurology suggests that eating strawberries more than twice a week appears to delay cognitive aging by up to two and a half years.

• Loaded with nutrients. Strawberries pack a lot of healthy properties into a small package. Each berry is full of beneficial antioxidants and nutrients, including potassium, folate and fiber.

• Sweet without the sugar. The sweet taste of strawberries makes them a natural dessert topping, and strawberries are also low in calories and sugar - one serving of eight strawberries contains just 45 calories!

• A delicious source of vitamin C. When you think vitamin C, think strawberries. One serving of eight strawberries has more vitamin C than an orange, topping out at 140 percent of the recommended daily value. It's the perfect power-packed boost that you can add to any meal or cold remedy.

• A healthy choice for diabetics. The American Diabetes Association has identified berries, including strawberries, as a perfect component of a diabetes meal plan. This is because strawberries have a low glycemic index and are loaded with vitamins, antioxidants and dietary fiber.

• Cholesterol fighter. Lowering your cholesterol is

ent’s sexual orientation. Other environmental theorists have focused on a child’s early ability to relate to peers of the same or opposite sex, and the positive or negative outcomes of early sexual encounters.

Biological factors have been studied, particularly centering on hormonal functioning. It seems obvious in many ways that hormones, which develop and maintain sexual functioning, might be at the bottom of sexual orientation.., but here again, research has been inconclusive.

And then there are theorists who believe sexual orientation is in the genes. There is in fact some evidence that genes do play a part. Twin studies on both gay males and lesbians display

some contributing genetic factor for sexual orientation, but these factors appear to account for only a small part of the over-all picture.

The conclusion is obvious; science still does not understand the origination of sexual orientation, but more important is the attitude and love that you and your family will show to your nephew now that he is out of the closet. Try not to be disappointed, but instead, hope he meets someone meaningful that he can share his life with. Remember, he is still the same loving nephew you loved and adored before you found out about his sexual preference.

Gather the family in the kitchen for a magical Mother's Day (BPT) - She's your biggest fan and the one you call whenever you need advice. Moms should be celebrated every day of the year, but there's no better time to show her you care than on Mother's Day! This year, rather than going with the tried-andtrue gift of flowers and chocolate, surprise Mom with a day of activities she's sure to remember for years to come. Esteemed celebrity chef and Iron Chef America judge Donatella Arpaia says to make Mom smile, turn to the kitchen for food, fun and a dash of love, and follow these five tips to create new Mother's Day traditions:

Tip 1: Find activities for the entire family to actively partake in.

"Start Mother's Day off right with breakfast in bed," says Arpaia. "Try something new this year that the entire family can indulge in together - my 'Green Eggs & Ham Breakfast Pizza'! It's absolutely delish and you can personalize it to reflect Mom's favorite ingredients. Also, don't forget her favorite coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice. It's all about the details for Mom's special day!"

Tip 2: Create divine dishes by stocking up on delicious ingredients and storing them correctly.

"If you have little helpers assisting with the preparation of Mom's breakfast pizza, assemble ingredients ahead of time and store them in the LG InstaView Refrigerator's Door-in-Door compartment, which makes them easily accessible without having to open the entire fridge," says Arpaia. "You can also knock twice on the glass InstaView panel and it lights up, letting you see what's inside without having to open the door and helping you keep your prized cooking ingredients front and center. Go the extra mile and write simple recipe instructions on Post-it notes for your little ones.

This will make them feel so proud knowing that they made breakfast themselves ... with a little help from Dad."

Tip 3: Make sure your kitchen is well-equipped.

The right tools - including your appliances not only make cooking more fun, but also allow novice chefs to cook like professionals in their own homes. "Make technology work hardest for you, even in the kitchen," says Arpaia. "Think like a chef and choose appliances that make every meal unforgettable. I am loving LG's ProBake Convection ovens because the heating element can be found on the back wall versus the bottom, guaranteeing

even cooking on every rack, every time. Your breakfast pizza will definitely come out crispy and delicious when baked using ProBake Convection technology!"

Tip 4: Relax, enjoy a slice and give the gift of time.

"As a busy, working mom, what I treasure most is a day without cooking and cleaning and simply being present with my family," says Arpaia. "After making breakfast pizza for Mom, give her the gift of your time and engage in your favorite family activity.

Keep technology at bay unless it's in the kitchen working for you! Go for a hike, play a board game, relax and enjoy! It's essential to slow down and savor those sweet moments with your whole family."

Tip 5: Give her a gourmet experience with a celebrity chef-approved recipe.

To really wow Mom, Arpaia developed a Green Eggs & Ham Breakfast Pizza recipe you can bake at home.

Given her success with

the Prova Pizzabar restaurant in NYC, Mom is certain to be impressed.

DONATELLA ARPAIA'S GREEN EGGS & HAM BREAKFAST PIZZA • 1 pound pizza dough, • 1/4 cup prepared • pesto • 1 cup (8 ounces) • shredded mozzarella • cheese • 1 cup cherry • tomatoes halved, • tossed with extra • virgin olive oil, salt • and pepper • 1/4 cup thick chunks • of ham • Sea salt and freshly • ground black pepper • 4 eggs • Parmesan cheese, • to taste

About 30 minutes before baking the pizza, preheat the oven to 500 F and place a large, rimless baking sheet in the lower third of the oven; for the most even cooking and optimal heat distribution, use an LG Convection ProBake oven. Place a large sheet of parchment paper on a work surface and dust the parchment lightly with flour.

Stretch dough using hands or rolling pin.

Pierce the dough firmly all over with the tines of a fork.

Slide pizza with parchment onto a baking sheet, then slide it onto the hot rimless baking sheet in the oven.

When the dough is slightly puffed, at about 7 minutes, take out of oven and spread on pesto mixture, top with mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes, Parmesan and ham. Be sure to keep your toppings stored in a secure compartment separate from the main refrigerator, like the LG InstaView refrigerator's Door-inDoor; this provides easy access to your ingredients without having to open the entire fridge and ensures they stay fresh while prepping.

Place back in oven for another 3 minutes until cheese is melted. Slide pizza out, crack four eggs (one on each quarter of pizza), place back in oven and broil for about 4 minutes or until egg cooks to over easy (LG ProBake Convection will ensure consistent heating on the top and bottom of the pizza pan).

Grab the edge of the parchment and transfer the pizza from the oven to a cutting board, again using a rimless baking sheet or back of a rimmed pan to facilitate moving it. Drop ricotta cheese by rounded teaspoonful over top, cut and serve. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Getting ready to celebrate Cinco De Mayo

Margaritas and delicious Mexican food will usher in the weekend on Friday

of an 8-ounce rocks glass or tumbler with lime wedge and invert glass into salt to coat rim.

Combine cucumber, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and agave nectar in a 2-cup cocktail shaker. Using a muddler or pestle, gently muddle mixture.

Fill the shaker halfway with ice, then add tequila and Cointreau. Cover and shake well until shaker is frosty and cold.

Fill prepared glass with ice. Strain margarita into it and garnish with the cucumber slice.

Most of us know by now that Americans do not need a reason to celebrate. We will cheer and enjoy just about any holiday.

Tomorrow (May 5) is one of those holidays, especially when it happens to fall on a Friday, that everyone takes part in. From delicious Margaritas to kicked up foods, celebrate Cinco De Mayo - in style.

BLOOD ORANGE MARGARITAS • Kosher salt • Crushed ice • 1/2 c. fresh blood orange juice • 2 oz. tequila • 1 oz. triple sec or Cointreau • Blood orange wedges (optional)

Moisten rim of 2 margarita glasses and dip in kosher salt. Fill a cocktail shaker with crushed ice.

Add orange juice, tequila, and triple sec. Shake well and strain into glasses. Garnish with orange wedges, if desired.

CINCO DE MAYO MARGARITAS • 4 c. ice • 2/3 c. lime juice • 1 c. tequila • 1/4 c. Cointreau or other orange liqueur

• • • •

4 tbsp. sugar Coarse salt, for rim 4 Coronitas (7 oz. each) Skewers topped with sliced citrus, for garnish

Combine ice, lime juice, tequila, Cointreau and sugar in a blender, pulsing to combine.

Place salt on a shallow plate. Dip the rim of each glass in lime juice or water, then in the salt.

Fill each glass with margarita mixture. Pop the caps off of the Coronita bottles, then flip each one upside-down into the margarita glass. (A little beer will empty into the cup, but once the neck of the bottle has sunk into the frozen margarita, it will stop pouring out.)

Garnish each with a fruit skewer and serve.

CUCUMBER-JALAPENO MARGARITA • Coarse sea or Kosher salt • 1 lime wedge • 1/2 c. peeled, finely diced cucumber • 4 slice jalapeño • 1/4 c. cilantro sprigs • 3/4 oz. fresh lime juice • 1/4 oz. light agave nectar • 2 oz. 100-percent blue agave silver tequila • 1/2 oz. Cointreau or triple sec Pour an even layer of salt on a plate. Rub the rim

CHEESY TACO BAKE • 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil • 1 white onion, chopped • 1 1/2 lb. ground beef • 2 cloves garlic, minced • 2 tsp. chili powder • 2 tsp. ground cumin • 1/4 tsp. cayenne • 1 15- oz. can fire-roasted tomatoes • 1/2 c. sour cream • 3/4 c. water • 1/4 c. freshly chopped cilantro, plus • more for garnish • 1 bag tortilla chips (restaurant style) • 2 c. shredded Cheddar • 2 c. shredded pepper jack

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onions and cook until soft, 5 minutes. Add ground beef and cook until no longer pink, 6 minutes. Drain fat.

Add garlic, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, fireroasted tomatoes, sour cream, and water to skillet and stir until combined. Let thicken 5 minutes. Stir in cilantro.

In a casserole dish, place a layer of tortilla chips, ground beef mixture, and cheeses. Repeat until ground beef mixture is used up. Bake until cheese is melted and tortilla chips are soft, 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Don't sweat your summer move: 10 tips for smarter moving (BPT) - Summer isn't just vacation season, it's also peak moving season. Studies show more people move during summer months than any other time of year; kids are out of school and weather is less likely to delay moves.

However, moving is hard work no matter what time of year you do it. You'll need careful planning and smart packing to ensure your summer move goes smoothly and safely.

These 10 tips can help: 1. Rent the right size moving truck.

Choose a truck that's too big, and you'll waste gas and space, plus empty room inside the truck means your belongings are more likely to shift in transit.

Choose one that's too small, and you could face multiple trips or the hard decision of what to leave behind. Penske Truck Rental professionals recommend you allow 150 cubic feet of truck space for each fully furnished room you'll be moving. A 12foot truck that offers 450 cubic feet could move

three rooms - the equivalent of a one-bedroom apartment - while a 26foot truck affords 1,400 cubic feet, approximately enough to move a two- or three-bedroom house.

2. Perfect your packing schedule.

Pack too soon and you'll be living surrounded by boxes, some of which might contain stuff you need right now. Pack too late and scrambling at the last minute could mean you make mistakes that lead to damage. Pack out-of-season and nonessential items several weeks before moving day. Donate or sell anything you won't need in your new home. Wait until the day before or morning of your move to pack essentials like personal necessities and basic cookware.

3. Protect packed items.

Nothing's worse than opening a box at your destination only to find something broken. Use plenty of paper and bubble wrap to protect packed items. Towels, socks, pillows and other soft materials can help

protect breakable items, too.

4. Reserve your rental truck early.

It's no surprise that truck rental places get very busy during summer months. Reserve your rental truck at least two weeks prior to the move - earlier if you'll be moving during a peak month like July or August. You can reserve a truck from your smartphone at PenskeTruckRental.com.

5. Clearly label all boxes.

Remember to label every box with what's inside it and the room it will go to in your new home.

6. Have plenty of help on hand.

Having help loading and unloading boxes will make the move go more smoothly - and reduce the risk you'll get hurt trying to do everything yourself. Enlist friends and family to help out. If you have large, heavy or very delicate items, consider hiring professionals to help load and unload those items.

7. Load the truck efficiently.

How well you load the truck will affect the safety of your belongings. Load heavy items like big furniture pieces and heavy boxes first, then stack lighter boxes and items to fill the remaining space. Be aware of the possibility that contents can shift in transit, so try to eliminate excess space that might allow the load to shift.

8. Lift carefully.

Improper lifting can cause injury. When lifting, bend your knees and lift with your legs, not your back. Get help

lifting heavy items and use hand trucks and moving dollies to move heavy or bulky items.

Take plenty of breaks and stay hydrated.

9. Schedule your drive to avoid peak traffic times.

You already know when peak traffic times occur around your current neighborhood, and a simple online search can help you identify rush hour at your destination. Schedule your drive so you won't be on the road during the worst traffic times. Leaving very early before

morning rush hour can help you avoid the frustration of sitting in traffic, and give you extra time to unload at your destination.

10. Learn safe truck driving practices.

Most people don't have a lot of experience driving moving trucks, so take extra care to ensure your own safety and the security of your belongings. Ask your rental professional to familiarize you with the vehicle. For safe driving tips, visit pensketruckrental.com
