“Change your thoughts and you change your world.” -Norman Vincent Peale Your mind is constantly filled with thoughts. Are you aware of what you are thinking about? Are your thoughts random or are they directed by you? Do you think about what you can do or what you can’t do? Are your thoughts positive or negative?

The only thing you have total control over is what you think about. Successful people think about their goals and how to accomplish them. When faced with problems, they think about solutions. Their minds are constantly thinking about where they are going and how to get there.

Your mind works 24 hours a day processing your thoughts.

Although your mind doesn’t care whether your thoughts are positive or negative, the resulting impact on your life is striking.

Your mind is a magnet that attracts whatever you think about. Positive thoughts attract positive situations and people, while negative thoughts attract just the opposite.

Your thoughts may be much more negative than you realize.

Golden Isles Safe Neighborhood District A Special Meeting For Residents Was Held To Discuss Changes

By Hallandale Beach Mayor, Joy Cooper

This past Monday the Golden Isles Safe Neighborhood District held a special meeting for residents of the district to present design concepts for Layne Boulevard. For some time, the district has been discussing upgrading our road to provide a safer environment for pedestrians, bikes and vehicles.

Golden Isles was never a planned community so there were never what they call today, “Complete Streets”. Over 50 years ago “Pappy Layne” developed the area by creating finger islands that was once a swamp area divided by A1A and the Intracoastal Waterway. The land was dredged by Layne Boulevard and enclosed with seawalls.

The lots were then individually sold to the builders. Many of the homes were built by the same builders that is why there are so many similar types of homes.

31 years ago, we purchased our home from Frank Ippolitto who used to live on Holiday Drive and has since retired. As a side note his son has continued in his footsteps and is a builder here in Hallandale Beach, Troy Ippolitto of Troy Dean Interiors on 8th Avenue and still resides in the neighborhood.

In 1991, there were still lots that were filled with Australian Pines or were simply vacant. The Point in Aventura was not even in existence and Aventura was not even a City. There are still no sidewalks and we still have original streets like many other areas of our City.

Once the neighborhood grew a group of neighbors united to address security in the area and establish a guard house. In the mid 1980’s Mr David Markowitz went door to door to collect donations and the guard house was built. In order to maintain the operations of the security Mr Markowitz united with Commissioner Sonny Rosenberg to ask

Golden Isles Safe Neighborhood District held a special meeting for residents of the district to present design concepts for Layne Boulevard Tallahassee to develop, as part of Chapter 163 of Florida State Statutes, Safe Neighborhood District rules and regulations.

The district was established as a separate taxing district.

Since that time residents living south of the guard house have been paying extra tax to provide the guard house, guards, extra police patrols and upgrades to safety. Our City has another SND (Safe Neighborhood District) in Three Islands. Both of these districts are not private roads but a layer of additional service. They are both unique in the fact that GISND only has one way in and one way out. Three Islands has three. Three Islands

day’s focus was for Layne Boulevard only. There were three proposals shared by the engineers.

Two created a central linear park that would have a ten-foot mixed use trail protected on each side with curbed landscaped islands.

These plans would have one lane in and one lane out or a double lane for entrance and exiting the homes and the designated lane for the condominiums. The other plan would provide for a large median and one shared multiple

Boulevard North and South and Atlantic different types of guard houses.

The SND’s are separate dependent districts and are part of the City. The advisory board is comprised of property owners in the district. They make recommendations to the Board of Directors which is comprised of the City Commission. Both districts pay an administrative fee to the City, so that all of the expenses are truly covered by the property owners.

Over the past months, the group and the GI Homeowners Association have been working with Stantec Group to develop a Master Plan for GISND. Mon-

use lane on the east side.

The meeting was well attended and many residents seemed to be open to improvements. There were plenty of questions. A super majority in attendance wanted to bury all of the above ground electric and utility lines.

Condominium owners were worried about their parking and access. I believe once they saw the designs they understood the parking would be preserved.

Ideally many wanted the parking to be moved to the back. This concept will be researched, but there may not be enough right of way in the back. There is a large ten-acre parcel, but it is owned

by Gulfstream Park. This meeting was only one (1) of the first rounds for input.

A Celebratory Passover Dessert (Culinary.net) When celebrating with family, there is nearly nothing better than passing a light and sweet dessert around the table. These Simple Macaroons are crisp, dipped in decadent chocolate and a completely scrumptious option for celebrating Passover.

Simple to make and easy to eat, this sweet dessert is a crowd favorite. With a fresh kick of lemon zest and crunch of shredded coconut, they are a bite-sized, delicious way to end your meal.

They take little to no time to make, only baking 10-12 minutes for a tray full of tasty dessert bites ready to devour.

With sweet honey and vanilla, the flavors come together to create something sweet but not overpowering. It’s a small, crumbly bite that’s perfect for sharing during Passover.

Find more sweet treat recipes for any holiday At: Culinary.net Simple Macaroons Recipe adapted from: marthastewart.com Yield: 15 Macaroons

• 1 Large egg • 2 1/4 Tablespoons of honey • 1/4 Teaspoon of vanilla extract • grated lemon zest • 1/4 Teaspoon of salt • 1 1/4 Cups of shredded coconut • 5 Ounces of dark, melted chocolate Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. In a bowl, whisk the egg. Add the honey, the vanilla, the lemon zest and the salt and whisk it again. Stir in the coconut until it is completely coated with the egg mixture.

Using a 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop, make 15 balls, transferring each of them to a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake the Macaroons for 10-12 minutes, rotating them halfway through, until the coconut starts to brown on the edges.

Transfer the sheet to the wire rack and let it cool. Before serving the Macaroons, drizzle them with the melted chocolate or dip the bottom sides of the Macaroons in the melted chocolate to cover all of the bases. Refrigerate the Macaroons for 15 minutes for them to set.

Elite Auctioneers From Page 1A selling and purchasing from the comfort of your home.

The process of auctioning is intuitively simple. If you want to participate in an auction you can sign up to bid online. Their website even includes notifications that inform visitors of the next auction. Once signed up with one of these vendors, you will be able to view Elite’s catalogs. If you don’t feel comfortable online, you can also save money by absentee or phone bidding.

For phone bidding, an expert staff member contacts you directly before your bidding lot enabling you to join in the bid the moment your item lands on the auction block.

Once the items are reviewed and approved, Elite Auctioneers sends out a contract to be

signed, dated and returned.

Shipping can be carefully arranged at any time before the auction and once the items are sold, you receive a check in the mail after the buyer has paid. This usually takes place within 30 days of the auction itself.

Their commitment to client satisfaction doesn’t stop there, however. Elite Auctioneers is also committed to making sure the selling process is as simple as making a phone call. If you have an antique to sell, the appraisers with over 40 years of experience will personally come to your home and review your items for free and with no obligations.

If you’re looking to move and cannot take everything with you, the Elite Auctioneers team will help you decide what you might be able to sell and what can be taken to your new home. These services don’t just apply to single items but entire estates as well.

Just a few of Elite’s notable and satisfied clients include Binder and Binder Law Firm, the family of a PGA champion and the former owner of the Indiana Pacers Basketball Team.

In the case of estate liquidation, Elite Auctioneers take the added steps of providing clients with trained movers, professional photography, advertising and promotion to help move your items while doing everything in their power to secure a buyer.

Elite Auctioneers have a century of experience in liquidating partial and even full estates.

Regardless of size, they will sell everything and anything of value as they have done thousands of clients over the years.

The expert team of estate buying specialists evaluates the items of the estate and make an offer based on a fair market value. Once that is done and an agreement on price has been

reached, the items will be removed from the estate and the estate itself will be meticulously cleaned.

It’s important to note that if there are items in your estate you want to dispose of, you must contact Elite for an evaluation appointment before the liquidation process can begin.

Moreover, Elite makes the consignment process just as easy. You can take photos of your items and email them to www.eliteauction.com.

You should include important item information like the age, condition, any labels, the dimensions, manufacturing tags, and provenance. In September 2019, they hosted a charity auction event at the Lifetime Montel

Williams Military Makeover Charity Auction and Gala. The event was to commemorate members of armed forces as well as the victims and survivors of the tragedy that took place in Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

“The auction was a success for a great cause, and Elite Auctioneers was honored to donate some great items to raise money for the families of the brave who served our country,” said Tracy Hayes.

Elite Auctioneers have a deep-rooted belief in the work that they do because for them, auctioning is just as much about building and strengthening communities, as it is about selling antiques.

You can visit their web-site and look through their catalog of Asian antiques, art, furniture, coins, collectibles, home décor and fashion by visiting: www.eliteauction.com/eliteauctioneer.

A Savory Meal for Spring Celebrations (Family Features) From picnics and family reunions to al fresco meals on the patio, flavor and freshness can make springtime dishes truly mouthwatering. As you plan your spring menu for time with loved ones, think outside the box with recipes that can feed a crowd.

One easy way to elevate your warm weather entertaining is with a lean, delicate protein like grass-fed Lamb available at Whole Foods Market from Atkins Ranch, a leader in environmental stewardship and one of the first members of Land to Market, which advocates for regenerative agriculture - a type of outcomesbased land management that seeks to heal landscapes instead of degrading them. In fact, many of the Lamb ranchers set aside areas for conservation purposes to focus on regenerating land and water to keep the environment as pristine as possible. The Lambs are raised just as nature intended: 100% grass-fed and free to roam on pastures in fresh air and sunshine, culminating in a result that’s better for you, the animals and the planet.

As the first Lamb Producer in the world to achieve Non-GMO Project verification, Atkins Ranch is also the first to achieve Global Animal Partnership Step-4 Certification for Farm Animal Welfare. If you’re unfamiliar with Lamb, consider

these cooking tips and pairing options for a deliciously divine spread at your next springtime soiree.

• Asparagus - A classic side for many spring meals, roasted asparagus is easy to prepare whether in the oven or on the grill.

How to Cook Lamb For cuts like: legs, shanks, shoulder roasts and stew meat, slow cooking is the answer. This Herb Crusted Bone-In Leg of Lamb, for example, is roasted for about 3 hours to reach a juicy tenderness complimented by fresh herbs and a mint sauce.

Turn to the grill or stovetop for a quicker cooking method with cuts such as: chops, rack and ground Lamb.

Cooking over an open fire allows the smokiness to meld with Lamb’s naturally rich flavor.

What to Pair with Lamb With its rich, meaty flavor, Lamb is a perfect main course for spring meals. Try balancing it out with these sides: • Salad - Like many proteins, Lamb is complimented very well by fresh greens. Toss baby spinach with a light vinaigrette and fresh fruit, like strawberries, for a true springtime salad.

• Sweet Potatoes - The subtlety of a sweet potato dish is nearly a must to pair with Lamb. Sweeten the meal even further by mashing with orange juice and zest for a slightly tangy side.

Herb Crusted Bone-In Leg of Lamb Prep time: 3 hours Cook time: about 3 hours (depending on the size and doneness) Servings: 15 • 1 Atkins Ranch Bone-In Leg of Lamb • (about 8 pounds) • 1/4 Cup of olive oil • 8 Cloves garlic, finely minced • 2 Tablespoons of Dijon Mustard • 2 Tablespoons of Kosher Salt • 1/4 Cup of white wine Herb Crust: • 2 Large egg whites • 2 Tablespoons of minced rosemary leaves • 2 Tablespoons of minced thyme leaves • 2 Tablespoons of ground peppercorns • 1 Tablespoon of Kosher Salt • fresh mint sauce, for serving About 2 hours before preparing, remove the leg of Lamb from the fridge to

ensure even cooking. Remove the glands to prevent gaminess during the cooking.

Preheat the oven to 325˚ F on the convection setting. Score the skin on both sides of the Leg of Lamb. In a bowl, whisk the olive oil, the garlic, the Dijon Mustard, the salt and the white wine. Brush it onto both sides of the Lamb, pressing it into the scored crevices. Place the Leg of Lamb in the roasting pan on a roasting rack. Insert the cooking probe into the thickest part of the meat without touching the bone. Cook it for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 95˚ F. Reduce the oven’s temperature to 300˚ F and cook it to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, remove the Lamb once the probe reaches 125˚ F. To make the herb crust: In a bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are evenly foamy with tiny bubbles and then brush it onto both sides of the Lamb. In a separate small bowl, mix the rosemary, the thyme, the peppercorns and the salt. Press the herb crust mixture onto the areas that have been brushed with the egg whites. Place the Lamb back in the pan and cook it for about 5-7 minutes, until the crust is formed and browned. Remove the Lamb from the oven and let it rest for 30 minutes. Carve the Lamb, arrange it on a platter and serve it with the fresh mint sauce.

Think About?

From Page 1A experiences as well as by the people around you. It’s common to accept negative thinking as normal. Over the years, your thoughts may have become more negative than you realize.

You accept your progressively negative thoughts as ordinary because this process happens so gradually.

Although your mood is directly affected by what you think about, you are rarely taught to direct, monitor, and be aware of your thoughts. Instead, you

see all the wrong examples of people around you thinking negatively.

A change in thinking always precedes a change in results. In order to make any changes in your life, you must first alter what you think about. Before you can change your thoughts, you must first be aware of what they are.

Start making a conscious effort to monitor what you are thinking about. You want to establish a link between your thoughts and your mood. What are you thinking about when you feel good? What are you thinking about when you feel down?

Next, decide how you would

like to feel and what goals you would like to attain. What do you need to think about in order to accomplish this? Now you are in a position to change your thoughts as needed.

Your thought patterns are well ingrained. Persistent effort is required to change them. Don’t worry if at times you revert to your old negative ways of thinking. When you catch yourself regressing, immediately adjust your thoughts to get you back on track.

This system isn’t magic. It’s proven and time tested to work.

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to readily get support because

not enough people understand this process and how it works.

However, you may receive a fair amount of criticism from those you share this with.

People become comfortable with their negative thinking and don’t believe there is any reason to change.

Furthermore, they don’t recognize any cause and effect relationship between their thoughts and what is happening in their lives. It’s difficult, if not impossible to convince these people otherwise.

You don’t have to prove anything to anyone. All you need to do is apply this concept to your life and you will see results. Don’t get frustrated. Changing any habit takes time and effort. You control your life through your thoughts.

Get started today thinking about what you want to achieve rather than reasons you can’t do it. Your mind works on whatever you think about. Be vigilant to ensure your thoughts are positive. Keep at it in order to reach any destination you desire.

If you are concerned you might have a mold or mildew problem it is best to call professionals for a complete evaluation of your home. Your health is your most important asset, so just like you go see a doctor for a test, your home health needs testing as well.

1st Priority From Page 1A your home and discuss the areas that need to be cleaned & restored to their original condition. Your insurance company adjuster or claim representative may recommend what and how your home should be cleaned, but in the end, it is your decision to make. In the past year, we have all heard the word “Mitigation” more times than we can count, but with water damage, that is exactly what needs to be done. Water damage restoration does not stop at restoring your real estate back to proper functioning. The professionals at 1st Priority will inspect the underlying causes that have caused the water damage in the first place and make sure there won’t be a reoccurrence. They will repair all of the damaged structures and replace the materials to make your property safe, for years to come. If your property has been exposed to water damage, you may have to do water mitigation. Strict actions are required in water mitigation, such as: removal of damaged materials such as drywall and flooring. Molds and mildew that have accumulated in areas in your property will be disinfected and deodorized to restore a healthy environment. Further cleaning and deodorizing should be done to make sure that your real estate is back in tip-top shape. Water damage mitigation should happen immediately after flooding or water buildup. Take action immediately, because letting your property sit in water can cause further damages and expenses. Materials soaking in water collect microbes and spread water-borne diseases.

Furniture, wood flooring and walls will crack, sag and collect fungi after prolonged exposure to moisture. If your property is particularly old, it may be time to replace materials such as pipes to prevent a reoccurrence of water damage. If pipes are behind walls, it may require more extensive repairs. The water mitigation process will depend on how long your property has been exposed to water. Air humidifiers and drying equipment must be turned on around the clock in areas with severe water damage.

Mold spores are especially dangerous to health and thorough cleaning and disinfecting should

be done as part of the water damage mitigation. It is advisable to get the temperature, humidity and moisture of your property tested to see if it has been restored to normal standards, 1st Priority professionals can handle the entire process.

After 1st Priority Restor-ation evaluates the work and equipment needed to clean your home, they will provide you quickly with an estimate or contract/services.

Leak Detection: One tiny water leak can create huge problems. An undetected water pipe leak will not only dramatically increase your utility bills, but it can also lead to even more expensive water damage and mold. If you’ve had higher than average water bills, constantly have to refill your pool or hear running water, it’s time to call the leak detection specialists at 1st Priority Restoration! Is water pipe leak detection possible if the pipes are behind a wall? Yes, using the newest state-of-the-art detection tools, highly trained technicians are able to locate water pipe leaks that are hidden behind walls.

They can even provide water plumbing leak detection within concrete slab foundations. Will insurance cover the cost of plumbing leak detection services? That all depends on your home’s insurance plan. In many situations, when there is a need for water damage restoration, many insurance companies will cover the related costs. 1st Priority Restoration representatives can work directly with your homeowners insurance to verify the need for the plumbing leak detection service, cause of the problem and the repairs that will be required to fix the situation.

Never Fool Around With Mold & Mildew: When it comes to mold and mildew, we cannot take those potential hazards lightly. A mold problem can cause you to experience dizziness, anxiety, depression and even hallucinations. If you have been experiencing a diminished attention span or problems with your memory, it might be a good idea to have your home inspected for black mold by a mold remediation crew. For people sensitive to mold, inhaling or touching mold spores can cause allergic reactions, including sneezing, runny

One tiny water leak can create huge problems in a home or business, it can lead to even more expensive water damage and mold which can affect your health. nose, red eyes and skin rashes.

People with serious mold allergies may have more severe reactions, including shortness of breath. At 1st Priority Restoration, this is what they do 365 days a year, nobody knows how to prevent potential dangers like they do. By dialing: 1 (800) 6171112 – you can save financially and your health as well!

Mold And Your Home: Mold is found both indoors and outdoors. Mold can enter your home through open doorways, windows, vents, heating and air conditioning systems.

Mold in the outside air can also attach itself to clothing, shoes, bags and pets, which can be carried indoors. Mold will grow in places with a lot of moisture, such as around leaks in roofs, windows, pipes or where there has been flooding. Mold grows well on paper products, cardboard, ceiling tiles and wood products. Mold can also grow in dust, paints, wallpaper, insulation, drywall, carpet, fabric and upholstery. With all of the rain and storms we have been having these past months, you can see a pattern of mold growth that will last. From leaks, flooding / driving rain, mold growth is a certainty in South Florida. If you are concerned that you might have a mold or mildew problem, it is best to call the professionals.

Your health is your most important asset, so just like you go see a doctor for tests, your home needs tests too.

Very Important Information: There are some important ways that we can prevent the spread of mold and what you can do to get rid of it. Keep an eye out for hidden leaks: Wet spots on your ceiling, the baseboards or on the floor are a telltale sign of a leaky pipe or roof.

Your home’s pipes are behind drywall, which can leave a small leak unnoticed. Mold can grow behind those walls and filter into the air through ducts or pipes. At 1st Priority, they can come in and assess the situation before it gets worse. Did you know that many air conditioner systems/ ducts are susceptible to mold growth? They often trap moisture, creating a breeding ground for spores. Bathrooms, kitchens and laundry rooms create a lot of excess heat and humidity, especially here in south Florida – whether it is from a shower,

stove or even a dryer, all of these areas should be well ventilated.

Education is key to anything – when our health is at stake – knowing that mold spores can lay dormant for years after they are produced and could begin growing again at any time, it is extremely important to know.

Because of this, regular cleanings and having 1st Priority Restoration to depend on, will certainly make our lives much easier. Ever wonder why you or your children wake up coughing and sneezing on a regular basis?

The CDC may have the answer.

According to the CDC, in 2004 the Institute of Medicine (IOM) found that there was sufficient evidence to link indoor exposure to mold with upper respiratory tract symptoms, coughing, sneezing and wheezing in otherwise healthy people and in individuals susceptible with compromised immune conditions. Mold or mold spores may cause asthma attacks in people who have asthma and are allergic to mold.

Even in some nonallergic individuals, mold can cause symptoms of irritation in the eyes, skin and airways. For example, the “black mold” Stachybotrys, along with some other types of mold, produce toxins known as mycotoxins that can cause irritation of the skin and airways in susceptible individuals. Sometimes, people may develop severe reactions to mold exposure, but cleaning and sanitizing by professionals you can trust.

Experience Is Everything: With decades in the business, 1st Priority Restoration is a reputable company with over 20 employees that are licensed and insured. They have been doing all types of cleaning, sanitizing, leak/mold detection and water damage restoration for more than a decade. “We use the most

Kreepy Tiki and Old Ghosts: Bring New Art and Spirit to Downtown Hollywood Brittany Nicole and Jackson “JAKSIN” Valiente, partners in Kreepy Tiki and Old Ghosts of Hollywood, the famous Fort Lauderdale Retail Collection of “art, antiquities and oddities” and tattoo parlor, were in a bind. After almost 15 years, they had lost their lease and needed to find the perfect new space.

Passing by Melina’s at 2010 Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood, Florida 33020, enroute to an estate sale to shop for the store, they spied the store’s iconic vintage-designed sign and windows.

“Wow,” said Valiente, “wouldn’t it be great if we could find a shop that looks like that?”

Little did they know that the estate sale they were visiting was at the home of Melina’s owner, the much - loved Hollywood Doyenne Elsie Johns, who passed away last month at a 100 years young and it was indeed available for rent!

“It was like divine intervention,” said Nicole. “We got along really well with Elsie’s family and it took off from there -- it was a perfect fit!”

Valiente and Nicole have been working together for about eight years. First, she helped run the business side of Kreepy Tiki, which at that time also included a bar, music, and frequent themed events. Then about four years ago, they closed the bar and partnered to open Old Ghosts, a unique art gallery and emporium with “a huge range of old, weird stuff and original art, from the Victorian Era to the ‘60s,” explained Nicole. “It’s an eclectic art collection of almost anything that’s old.”

Kreepy Tiki and Old Ghosts enjoy a great loyal following, both locally and on social media.

Photo Credit: Van Hagen Photography - www.oldghostsftl.com “People travel from everywhere,” she noted. The partners love the increased walk-in traffic at their new Hollywood location.

“We’ve been amazed at how crazy busy it’s been already here,” Nicole continued. “There are so many people, the events are awesome and it’s great how the city is so heavily involved. It’s truly a different world from where we came from, where we were so isolated. Here, the other local businesses have been so friendly -- everyone helps each other out with promoting…it’s wonderful.”

Valiente has been a Tattoo Artist for over 20 years and along with his Kreepy Tiki team does work from the simple to the extreme. Old Ghosts has a constantly evolving collection and is as much a museum as a retail store. They also offer photo shoot packages, prop rentals, custom-made and hand-painted sideshow banners. The feeling in the store is welcoming, unique and definitely weird!

Elsie would be really happy!

“Yup,” said Valiente. “That’s what everyone says.”

Kreepy Tiki and Old Ghosts is open from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Tuesday to Thursday from 1:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday and from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday. The shop is closed on Mondays.
