Mondays are special at Hollywood’s Artspark
Every Monday night from 5:30-9:30 it was a special time – as some 20 gourmet food trucks lined the circle at Hollywood’s ArtsPark, serving up restaurant quality food. This past Monday, Editor Larry Blustein had the chance to stop by and see what was cooking. Trucks such as Ms. Cheezious (above), Churrasco Grill, Daddy’s Grill, Don Mofongo and JOJI Yogurt joined some 15 others that made the choices very tough for the hundreds that came out. See what Larry found to eat on Page 2B.

When the storm came ashore between Hollywood and Hallandale Beach as a Category 3, everyone was ready. While "Hurricane Bill" was just an exercise, the city of Hallandale Beach went through the 24 hours - from

Dr. Patricia Bobadilla, left, is always open to talk about every dental procedure with her patients. Diabetes is a disease that can affect the whole body, including your mouth. Dental care is particularly important for people with diabetes because they face a higher than normal risk of oral health problems due to poorly controlled blood sugars. The less well controlled the blood sugar, the more likely oral health problems will arise. This is because uncontrolled diabetes impairs white blood cells, which are the body's main defense against bacterial infections that can occur in the mouth. WHAT DENTAL PROBLEMS ARE PEOPLE WITH DIABETES AT HIGHER RISK FOR? People with diabetes face a higher
risk of: • Dry mouth. Uncontrolled diabetes can decrease saliva flow, resulting in dry mouth. Dry mouth can further lead to soreness, ulcers, infections, and tooth decay. • Gum inflammation (gingivitis and periodontitis). Besides impairing white blood cells, another complication of diabetes is that it causes blood vessels to thicken, which slows the flow of nutrients to and waste products from body tissues, including the mouth. When this combination of events happens, the body's ability to fight infections is reduced. Since periodontal disease ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– BOBADILLA, Page 3A
