Thanksgiving Greetings from Azalea Gardens Where Life is Timeless

Seeing is believing after 61 long years Gloria Ackerman has battled poor eyesight all of her life. Damaged at an early age because of measles, she was relegated to 61 years of adjusting and making sacrifices.

Ackerman, a Pembroke Pines resident, was not alone in her battle to see clearly.

Her mother and grandmother both had vision altering cataracts. So does her younger sister. It was a matter of time before the damage completely started taking over her life.

"I remember telling my sister that since we loved reading so much, and it was just a matter of time before things really went downhill, –––––––––––––––––––––– BRAVERMAN, Page 6A

Dr. Braverman with Glorida Ackerman: “I really hit the eyesight lottery”

"The surgery was flawless. The care and respect offered to me by Dr. Braverman and his staff was overwhelming. He is truly a caring person who has a passion for what he does. It was a miracle to me."

City of Hollywood gives back to the Veterans - once again!

This was the third year that Mayor Bober and Hollywood reached out to the veterans. As he worked the grill along with so many others who volunteered their time, representatives of the Boy Scouts, Daughters of the American Revolution Captain Alexander Quarrier Chapter and many other community members took the time out for this outstanding event.

Veterans From Page 1A –––––––––––––––––––––– Yugnee (TY) Park.

"A chance to thank those who have served for all of us through the generations," Mayor Bober explained as he flipped a few hamburgers on the grill.

"Our chance to give back to those who have given so much.

That is what this really about."

That theme was indeed perfect for everyone who came to support our veterans on this day. Soldiers like Mike Cathcart and his two sons, who not only came to break bread and honor others, but to do their part as well. Cathcart served in Vietnam and both of his sons, Kyle, 24, and Brandt, 27, had both served in the Navy.

"The one thing that thrilled my sons and I was the fact that you get to reach out to fellow veterans from all different conflicts and share stories," Cathcart said. "I live fulltime here in Hollywood now after spending most of my life in Indiana. I am

finding the reception for veterans is very warm and friendly down here."

As he worked the grill along with so many others who volunteered their time, representatives of the Boy Scouts, Daughters of the American Revolution Captain Alexander Quarrier Chapter and many other community members took the time out for this outstanding event.

As veterans and their families enjoyed hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken and all the other great foods that signal an outside celebration here in south Florida, this was a great setting for 78year-old Amy GatlinSpring to reflect on her late father, Army veteran Julius Gatlin.

"He was always proud to have fought and served for this country," Gatlin-Spring said. "My daughter and I come to different celebrations that honor veterans to give our support. I know it would really be important for dad."

Between the live music by Florida National Guard Band, Dogface Soldier, and so many other activities dedicated to having fun and celebrating the lives of our soldiers, different area businesses also took part in honoring those who attended.

"This is a great event," said said veteran Sal Broccone of Hallandale Beach, who came to support with friends from Pembroke Pines. "Good

food, tremendous atmosphere and a city that has its heart in the right place."

Hats off to Mayor Bober and his city for doing such a great job once again this year shining a spotlight where it should be very bright.

There isn't a day that goes by that any of us should take what we have for granted.

Just remember that people have been fighting for that freedom for centuries.

When it comes to water, Hallandale Beach is proud that consumption has been reduced up to 20%

By Mayor Joy Cooper HALLANDALE BEACH - I want to start off first by thanking all our Veterans for their service to our great country. As every American in the US recognizes the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War, we need to ensure that we give special thanks to those that fought and came home without proper recognition for their service. During this controversial war many lives were lost and many families have lost loved ones. Even still many families do not have closure due to so many POW’s and MIA’s.

Make sure to thank a Vet this week!! Better yet donate to Treats for Soldiers here in Hallandale Beach, Wounded Warriors or one of the many groups that support our veterans.

Last week, I shared the first portion of my speech delivered to the Global Water Summit in Washington DC. This portion focusses more on Hallandale Beach directly. It was an honor to speak at the event and highlight the many water issues we are addressing here in our city and the cutting edge ways we are addressing not only water but storm water and waste water.

Hallandale Beach is on the east coast of Florida between Fort Lauderdale and Miami.

We have a population

of 38,000 that grows to over 50,000 in the winter months. For years we have operated our own water plant. When I was first elected 14 years ago we had to decide to build a new water plant or purchase water from another city.

The city decided to move forward to build a $25 million membrane plant that could be adapted to a reverse osmosis plant if need be. At that time saltwater intrusion was eliminating our wells. At one time we had multiple wells that delivered fresh water to our citizens and now we are down to two.

We started to shut down wells and began purchasing water from Broward County’s west well field. Both water sources are treated and then blended. The capacity is 9 mgds but we are not using the entire capacity. We can add a skid and have the capability to convert to full desalination.

We are very proud that that we have reduced our water consumption through conservation measures up to 20%. This has saved millions of dollars in costs over the past years. To date, we can all agree conservation is the best way to reduce costs-use less, pay less.

Our most unique water project to date is a salinity barrier. With

sea level rise our city has had major flooding combined with saltwater intrusion. One location in our city is only 1 and ½ feet above the current sea level. We started planning and budgeting for a large scale drainage project to pump water to our local canals. Midstream, the rules and regulations requiring pretreatment changed our ability to pump out.

We were required to pump down. In Florida, along the coast this makes sense but the price tag became excessive. A couple of million dollars became $9 million over night. I was fortunate to lobby FEMA and DEP to leverage funds to address this drainage costs in addition to a second project in the western portion of our city.

I have spoken many times as part of Mayors Water Council that you cannot talk about storm water wastewater and not include potable water with the EPA, they are all integrated. To have true integrated water planning they are all naturally connected.

We have talked about integrated plans but still have much more work. I am happy to see the dialogue changing thanks to Mayors that are here today. In Hallandale Beach are living it.

Our most unique water project to date is a salinity barrier. With sea level rise our city has had major flooding combined with saltwater intrusion. One location in our city is only 1 and ½ feet above the current sea level.

The storm water project that grew to $9 million dollars it includes a major well system and large pumping system. It is currently under construction. Since we are required to decommission the outfalls our partner agencies and engineering firms are looking at creating a large scale salinity barrier. This system has been tested on a small scale successfully and the plan is going through permitting now.

This addressed storm water and potable water through recharge, but what is even more unique is that if you remember the outfalls discussed earlier the project allows the pretreated affluent water to be pumped down as recharge. To date, we are very optimist about this exciting project. It addresses storm water, ocean outfalls, saltwater intrusion and reuse for future potable water needs.

The most exciting thing about the project is it will help to reduce the multimillion dollar

cost of our joint wastewater plant. Hallandale Beach does not treat waste water. Before I was mayor a group of South Broward cities combined efforts to create a regional wastewater system owned and operated by Hollywood.

The system was placed in the city of Hollywood just north of my city. Six other communities have partnered within a large user’s agreement to provide treatment through Hollywood.

Currently there is not a regional governance structure. We all pay Hollywood a flat fee per gallon to treat and at the end of the year we all budget for a true up of the actual costs.

The six communities have shared capacity at the plant for years. As of all the communities have grown in population over the years, two of the cities started to build their own plants to address demand.

Every city is still responsible for the existing debt service with the Hollywood plant.

We all have a vested interest in making sure

the ocean outfall issue addressed and the cost to our customers who are our residents are kept at an affordable rate.

It was an honor and privilege to address you all today. We need more forums like this, where leaders from private and public sectors can work together and share best practices to secure the future of water. I look forward to the Q&A. As you can see, we have been extremely proactive here in Hallandale Beach to secure our future water demands. I encourage all our residents to save water when they can.

You can visit our cities website to find out more about water audits, toilet retro fits and the many programs we have to help conserve.

Seeing is believing after 61 long years

Braverman From Page 1A –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– we needed to start to collect audio books," Ackerman recalled. "While that was a wakeup, it also was going to be a reality."

Through the years, the options to have any kind of laser vision surgery to correct her eyesight was out of the question. Not enough research had been done to make her feel comfortable about getting it done.

With her left eye failing, her Optometrist Stephen Heiden of Hollywood said that something had to be done. If she was going to have any kind of life, cataract surgery was a must. Because she had been a patient of the Dr's Heiden for years, she listened.

It had gotten to the point where she couldn't see well with glasses or contact lenses and she was frustrated.

"My eyes had gotten to 20/600 and 20/800," Ackerman said. "If I wanted to see again, I had to make a decision."

That decision was made after doing research on the two names that were given to her. Even though she was apprehensive, Ackerman also realized that these surgeries were becoming more and more common, and that many advances had been made over the last 10 year period.

Her decision to visit Dr. Stanley Braverman and the Braverman Eye Center in Hallandale Beach was based on all the success stories and word of mouth that proclaimed this to be the "best around". It was a decision that completely changed Ackerman's life.

"From the first visit and meeting, I could not have been more comfortable with the decision," Ackerman recalled. "I came away from that initial visit thinking I really hit the eyesight lottery."

At the age of 67, nearsighted all of her life, Ackerman's cataract surgery in April and May of this year with the Tecnis Multifocal lens was a major success.

"The surgery was flawless," she said. "The care and respect offered me by Dr. Braverman and his staff was overwhelming. He is truly a caring person who has a passion for what he does. It was a miracle to me."

Two days after her first surgery, Ackerman was overcome with joy, knowing that as clear as her vision had become (she was a negative 6.25 before surgery, wearing thick glasses, with poor eyesight even with them), it was better and would continue to improve. She is now seeing 20/20 without glasses at both distance and up close! The Tecnis multifocal lenses were a miracle! Because of them, and great surgery by Dr. Braverman, she never has needed glasses since the surgery.

"In this day and age of non-personal patient/doctor relationships, Dr. Braverman has exceeded everything I was looking for," Ackerman pointed out. "Now, my sister is looking forward to having her vision corrected like mine. It's a great thing. Thank you Dr. Braverman."

Dr. Braverman commented that " Ms. Ackerman had a very successful result. I was pleased, since she had a very significant amount of myopia, as well as cataracts. When your vision is as bad as Ms. Ackerman’s vision, your surgery may not leave you glasses free 10% of the time. Using my newly trademarked Laser Assisted Cataract Extraction (LACE™ ) surgery, if you are deemed a candidate by me, I can nearly always guarantee that the patient will need no glasses for distance vision; and, no glasses for distance or near vision if a multifocal lens implant is used."

WHAT ARE CATARACTS A cataract is formed when the natural lens of the eye, responsible for focusing light and producing sharp images, becomes cloudy and hardens, resulting in a loss of visual function. The lens of the eye is clear at birth but is one of the first parts of the body to show the effects of aging. A cataract is painless and usually develops gradually over several months or years. The onset of a cataract in one or both eyes may cause decreased night vision, impaired depth perception, and increased color distortion.

Cataracts are the leading cause of vision loss among adults age 55 and older. In fact, poor vision from cataracts affects 60 percent of all adults over age 60. However, cataracts also can result from injury, heredity, or medications, so they can affect people of all ages.

Understanding that no two conditions or patients are the same, Dr. Braverman analyzes the patient’s symptoms, performs a comprehensive eye exam, and may test for glare disability and contrast sensitivity before making a diagnosis. The final decision to proceed with the surgery belongs to the patient.

Your optometrist or Dr. Braverman may prescribe glasses, medication or surgery depending on your symptoms, complaints and age. Usually surgery will not be recommended until glasses no longer work to make you visually happy. In the case of lensectomy surgery, the patient cosmetically wants to get rid of their glasses.

The Braverman Eye Center is located at 1935 East Hallandale Beach Boulevard, Hallandale Beach, Fl. 33009.

CATARACT SURGERY: What to expect Cataract surgery is the removal of your cloudy natural lens, which is usually dissolved using high frequency ultrasound through a small (less than 3 millimeter) opening. An artificial lens is then placed inside the eye where the cloudy lens used to be. After the surgery, eye drops are given to the patient to aid in the healing of the eye, which takes a few months, but the patient is able to return to normal activity almost immediately after surgery and usually sees well within just days. If the eye is otherwise healthy, cataract surgery is successful in more than 98% of patients and they enjoy improved vision after the procedure. Cataract surgery continues to improve. Recent developments include no-stitch surgery, topical anesthesia, surgical correction of astigmatism, new upgraded premium lens designs, and Dr. Braverman's newly trademarked LACE™ procedure. Laser Assisted Cataract Extraction (LACE™ ) surgery, if you are deemed a candidate, can nearly always guarantee that the patient will need no glasses for distance vision, and no glasses for distance or near vision if a multifocal lens implant is used.

ABOUT DR. STANLEY BRAVERMAN Dr. Stanley Braverman is a Voluntary Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of Miami School of Medicine and the Anne Bates Leach Eye Hospital/Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. He is also an Adjunct Associate Clinical Professor at the Nova Southeastern School of Optometry. In addition to treating patients, Dr. Braverman, a board-certified ophthalmologist, has been a medical researcher, and is the inventor of several eye surgical instruments, and author of many articles for medical journals. Dr. Braverman's newly trademarked LACE™ procedure provides the best possible cataract surgical results. He has lectured at professional meetings about upgraded lens implants, advanced cataract surgery and LASIK, both nationally and internationally. He has recently been recognized by Newsweek Magazine as one of the Fifteen Leaders in Laser Eye Surgery in 2011, and recently co-authored a book on Z-Lasik that is being distributed internationally. You can find it on Amazon.com.

34th Annual Florida Chanukah Festival To Feature Avraham Fried at Gulfstream Park & Casino The 34th Annual South Florida Chassidic Chanukah Festival is getting bigger and better. Considering that over 10,000 people have participated each year since the event was moved to Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach back in 2007, the staff and volunteers preparing the upcoming Festival set for Sunday, December 1st, have coordinated a star studded program that will guarantee the biggest attendance ever. The crowd will be even bigger than last year, as tens of thousands of tourists, in love with Jewish Music, are expected that week in South Florida for the Thanksgiving weekend.

Avraham Fried, King of Jewish Music, will be the featured entertainment, as he will performing a full concert of his most popular Hebrew, English and Yiddish songs.

Fried began his career with the release of his first album "No Jew Will Be Left Behind" in 1981, featuring the song "Kel Hahodaos", written by Kol Salonica.

In the summer of 2009, Fried made a concert tour in Israel where he introduced Israeli singer and composer Chanan Yovel and featured the songs Rak T'filla and U'Nesane Tokef. His first

DVD was released in December 2009.

His music is mostly categorized as pop Jewish music, similar to Mordechai ben David and tends to integrate many styles of popular music, including pop, rock and jazz, with Jewish lyrics and themes.

The Festival takes place in Hallandale Beach, at Gulfstream Park, US1 and Hallandale Beach Blvd.The event is annually produced and directed by Chabad of South Broward, leaders in Jewish Education, social services and community outreach.

For the last three years, the Chanukah Festival was seen live around the world via Jewish TV @ Chabad.org. It was the most watched Live Jewish TV Show in 2010, 2011, & 2012.

People from across the globe, from the Ukraine to Israel, from South

America to Australia, were fixed to their screens for the three hour Chanukah production that warmed so many hearts and inspired so many souls.

The Festival will be preceded by a one hundred Car Menorah parade, starting out from the Yeshivah Gedolah of Greater Miami, under the auspices of Florida Friends of Lubavitch.

The Festival will honor the Friendship Circle, a program with 87 branches worldwide, that caters to children with special needs, who are teamed up with local teenagers. These teenagers serve as volunteers and friends of these children with special needs.

Other Festival highlights include the lighting of Florida's Largest Menorah, led by Cantor Rabbi Yossy Lebovics and a large lineup of Community Leaders

• VK Dance Center will get into the seasonal spirit with a "Sports Party" on Saturday, Nov. 16 as well as other tremendous events from November through January NORTH MIAMI BEACH - If you like to dance, party and have some great fun, VK Dance Center is the place for you to be over the next few months.

What owner Victor Kanevsky has planned for November, December and January, will simply bowl everyone over - with his events that will showcase a facility and studio that is now producing talented dancers and keeping all in great shape.

SPORTS PARTY With football, basketball and hockey in full swing, VK Dance Center will get into the seasonal spirit with a "Sports Party" on Saturday, November 16 as everyone will come and support their favorite athletic team and enjoy an evening of fun, food, drink, dance and plenty of prizes.

For $15, event goers can enjoy a night of dance, free drinks and free parking. It is indeed the perfect "let loose" type of event.

"We are so excited about this evening," Victor says with a huge smile. "This is certainly one those all-American kind of events with chicken wings from Ale House in North Miami Beach and even coffee and donuts from Dunkin' Donuts."

Events like the sports-themed party go hand-in-hand in making VK Dance Center one of the most unique and wellrounded facilities of its kind.

HOLIDAY SOIREE' What holiday season would be complete without a chance to dress up and dance the night away? On Friday, Dec. 20, dress snazzy and bring something to share with the rest as the Second Annual Holiday Soiree will take place from 8 p.m. until midnight, which includes a swing dance band. The following night, Dec. 21, will feature the best of Latin/Salsa dancing.

World famous dancer and dance instructor Ana Chacon will become Ballroom Supervisor at VK Dance Center.

NEW YEAR SHOWCASE In addition to the Sports Party and the Holiday Soiree, VK Dance Center will really roll out the welcome mat in January with the already popular youth dance showcase ready to make a return appearance along with the gala showcase that is planned.

The youth showcase date is being finalized, but if you were in attendance last year, you already know what kind of outstanding dancers who work hard every day at this facility to become the very best they can be.

On Saturday, Jan. 11, a showcase like you have never seen before will take place as some of the best dancers in south Florida will head to North Miami Beach for an evening of entertainment.

"This is truly a night that you cannot miss," Victor said. "Some of the best you will ever see on the dance floor and they are just feet

away."

The evening wouldn't be complete without an on-floor appearance from the Maestro himself, Victor Kanevsky, who will show that world class grace and athleticism that made him one of the best ballroom dancers.

ANA CHACON IS BACK You've seen her on Channel 10 as a dancing correspondent and now you will have the chance to see talented Ana Chacon up close and personal as she will become Ballroom Supervisor at VK Dance.

"We are so thrilled to have someone with her talents and status in the world of dancing," Victor explained. "She really helps to elevate this studio even more."

Chacon, a dancer, choreographer and teacher to the stars began dancing ballet, jazz and modern at a very young age. After dancing in her high school dance team and traveling abroad with a prestigious Brazilian company.

She went on to dance for the University of Miami Sunsations, and would soon discover ballroom dancing. She joined the Arthur Murray organization and quickly became a top teacher and competitor. She embarked on a successful competitive career becoming the “2004 United States Professional American Rhythm Champion” and winner or finalist in major competitions

throughout the US, Mexico and Puerto Rico, as well as becoming the Arthur Murray World Rhythm Champion. Along the way she discovered a knack for teaching dance on television.

The ‘Book of Mormon’ winner of nine Tony Awards takes center stage at Broward Center • The musical tells the story of two young Mormon Missionaries sent to a remote village in northern Uganda

By Eleanor Hannan The Book of Mormon, as part of a national tour, has been awarded many awards including Best Musical, Best Original Score and Best Book of a Musical in 2011. But that’s not all.

The show won a Grammy for Best Musical Theatre Album, and has the highest-charting cast album on the Billboard charts in four decades, as well as a New York Drama Critic’s Circle Award for Best Musical and A Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Musical.

The musical tells the story of two young Mormon Missionaries sent to a remote village in northern Uganda, where a brutal warlord is threatening the local population. Naive and optimistic, the two missionaries try to share the Book of Mormon, one of their scriptures, which only one of them knows very well. They have lots of trouble connecting with the natives who are more worried about the war. At a Missionary Training Center, in Utah, a devout handsome, missionary-to-be, Elder Kevin Price, leads his classmates in a demonstration of the door-to-door attempt to convert people to Mormonism and believes if

he prays enough, he will be sent to Orlando, Florida for his two-year mission, but is shocked when he and Elder Arnold Cunningham are sent to Uganda as a pair. Cunningham, is an insecure, overweight nerd and compulsive liar, that has trouble sticking to the dialogue.

What happens in Uganda is hysterically funny. This blockbuster show features several big song and dance numbers in addition to playfully poking fun at religion, sexuality, poverty and race. Opening in the Au-Rene Theatre on November 26th through December 22nd, 2013. Tickets range from $64.31 to $182.31. For performance schedules, call the box office at: (954) 4620222. Located at 201 Southwest 5th Avenue, Fort Lauderdale or Ticketmaster. Dialogue is raunchy and explicit.

Not suitable for children or young teens.

BRAND NEW DRAMA “FEAR UP HARSH” BY CHRISTOPHER DEMOS-BROWN COMING TO ARSHT CENTER: “Fear Up Harsh” is a term used by the military to designate “enhanced interrogation” techniques. It’s also the title of a searing new

drama about a Marine Medal of Honor winner, hiding a past that’s anything but honorable. An Iraq War Medal of Honor recipient’s perfect life begins to unravel when a former comrade-in-arms comes to call, causing a light to shine on the corrupting effect of awards and commendations.

So begins interrogator Tony Lagouranis’s first briefing at Abu Ghraib.

When the U.S. went to war with Iraq, Lagouranis, who joined the army prior to September 11, was chosen to be an interrogator in places like Abu Ghraib and Fallujah. He believed in his mission, but soon discovered that pushing the legal limits of interrogation was encouraged. Under orders, he, along with numerous other soldiers, abused and terrorized hundreds of prisoners into revealing information.

This is the unflinching first hand account of how one man struggled with his own conscience and ultimately broke the silence surrounding interrogation practices. Lagouranis reveals what went on in Iraq prisons, raising crucial questions about American conduct abroad. “ Fear Up Harsh”

These helping hands need help themselves

By Mike Checkett HOLLYWOOD Dorothy Roberts wears many hats. She is the manager of Vandor Geriatric Homecare Inc. ALF and Adult Day Care, she is the President of Food Distribution Ministry for Lael Baptist Church, and as part of the Harvest Reapers Mission has dedicated her life to the cause of feeding the hungry.

Last year, Vandor Geriatric fed 7,949 families. This past month about 750 families were fed with an average of 200 per week; however, this nonprofit organization has come to the point where they are in desperate need of assistance from the community. This locally owned food pantry requires donations of vans, storage and freezer space to continue making a difference for others.

Although seniors and frail adults are the focus of the organization, the need for food assistance and clothing has increased rapidly over the years to include everyone who is in need.

"We serve people on a daily basis," said Vandor Geriatrics Owner and Administrator Dorothy Roberts. "We are available 24/7 for any hungry emergency call, and on Saturdays between 10:00 am and 12:00 noon, dedicated to people near and far."

Vandor Geriatric also provides access to various rehabilitation and outreach programs in addition to home deliveries to the elderly and disabled from Dania to Miami.

Vandor also offers daycare for seniors at $12 per hour providing three meals and snacks.

"The majority of young adults who come to us always express their desire to get a job," Roberts ex-

‘The Pantry In The Heart of The Community With The Community At Heart’ plained. "The seniors have long been the backbone of this great community, and to go to bed without a proper meal to eat, we all ask how is that possible in this great country?," adding, "no one should go hungry in America."

This raises a lot of questions. Why is hunger such an issue in America, why are seniors being evicted at such an alarming rate, why are so many forced to beg for food in the most affluent country in the world?

"I guess there are more questions than answers, so I'll keep doing my part," Dorothy explained.

"We have been seeking grants or donations, but have not been met with any success at all."

The purpose of the grant requests is twofold: the facility, located at 2110 N. 46th Ave, Hollywood is in need of repairs mainly the roof- in the amount of $25,000, and the second grant request is for a Mobile home or structure with refrigerators to preserve the food for the 200 people Lael Baptist Church feeds weekly.

The statistics are staggering. According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development "the national rate of homelessness was 20 homeless people per 10,000 people in the general population."

The report also stated that "a majority of the homeless population is comprised of individual adults (394,379 people) and 16% (99,894 people) are considered chronically homeless, meaning they are living with a disability and staying in shelters or on the streets for long periods of time or re-

Last year, Vandor Geriatric fed 7,949 families. This past month about 750 families were fed with an average of 200 per week; however, this nonprofit organization has come to the point where they are in desperate need of assistance from the community.

"We have two old vehicles 15 and 18 years old that we use to pick up food from Feeding South Florida and Crossroads Food Bank. To keep them running has been costing a fortune.

What we would really like is a used U-Haul truck, which would ensure we would do no further damage to the only vehicles we have."

peatedly."

Hunger is a reality for millions of Americans, and many are able-bodied adults, children, and seniors who simply cannot afford food due to other expenses and have to skip meals or go days without eating at times.

Dorothy also points out that hunger and race are related. "In 1991 46% of AfricanAmerican children were chronically hungry, and 40% of Latino children were chronically hungry compared to 16% of white children." Here are more grim statistics regarding food waste.

Approximately 40-50% of the food America produces is thrown away. Recent statistics show that every

the two organizations is a close one, as Claire Pool-Stern's motto is, "one charity helping another."

Some businesses in the community have also been supportive with food donations, especially Lavar Miller, Director of the WinnDixie in Hallandale Beach. Local businesses are encouraged to help any way they can, and even members of the community can donate.

And since they have 501(c)3 status any donations to Vandor Geriatric Homecare are tax-deductible.

USA SELF STORAGE at 500 State Rd 7 Hollywood has been an integral part of their success, giving one year storage space for clothing, canned goods, and various sundries to make sure those in need have the things vital to survival.

"We have two old vehicles 15 and 18 years old that we use to pick up food from Feeding South Florida and Crossroads Food Bank," said Roberts.

"To keep them running has been costing a fortune. What we would really like is a used U-Haul truck, which would ensure we would do no further damage to the only vehicles we have."

This Thanksgiving they will receive 500 Turkeys but need a refrigerator or storage unit by or before that time. Also, they will be giving 450 pre-made turkey dinners to be served on Thursday 11/28 from 1-3pm.

There is no such thing as a self-made person, everyone gets to where they are with the assistance of others, and Dorothy Roberts, with over 30 years of experience helping others, now needs your help.

Electromagnetic Therapy Used for Insomnia

You may have heard of electromagnetic therapy and the many health conditions that it claims to treat. From body pains, wound healing, aging, gastrointestinal illnesses and even cardiovascular conditions, more and more users are finding this alternative remedy as the most practical way to reduce pain and other discomforts without the use of any medication or even surgery.

Electromagnetic therapy is non-invasive and has no side effects. There are no important indications before treatment other than wearing pacemakers or other electronic devices, which could damage when exposed to electromagnetic fields. It is one of the most efficient treatments for health conditions and even insomnia where 1 out of 10 adults currently suffer.

Insomnia is more than not being able to sleep when you want to sleep; it may be a symptom of an even more devastating illness. Insomnia may also be due to anxiety, stress, depression and even due to other emotional and

psychological concerns as well. Men and women, even children may suffer from insomnia and the need to find a better alternative treatment is the most important part of getting back on your sleepless nights. And with the dangerous and habit-forming effects of sleep medications and anti anxiety medications, electro-

magnetic therapy seems to be the best alternative treatment of all.

Electromagnetic treatment when it comes to insomnia is not just stimulating a specific are of the body to excite nerve function. Patients are sometimes made to lie down on an electromagnetic mat that is meant to deliver pulse electro-

magnetic field therapy to the entire body as you sleep. Therapy is directed in balancing the body’s lost electromagnetic field by passing healthy pulses of electromagnetic energy through the entire body; this results in relaxation, stress relief and ultimately sleep.

The magic power of sleep to renew the body’s numerous systems is yet to be discovered but it mostly gives the body time to recuperate and to possibly repair damaged or tired cells and tissues. Many experts believe that it is in sleep that most of the body’s hormones are released including the highly coveted growth hormones which teens need the most. Some also believe that it is in sleep that we plan and recuperate for the day ahead and when we dream of things that can inspire us for the future. There are certainly so many advantages of getting quality sleep; it is said that insomnia is not the less sleep that you get but is based on the amount of quality sleep that you get each time you try to sleep.

Without sleep, we get cranky and uncooperative. Our body

Dr. OZ talks about PEMF therapy

Dr. OZ introduces a breakthrough way to heal pain using Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields. Also known as PEMF therapy, this method of healing has been widely used in Switzerland for over 15 years. It’s a technology that had been developed for the Russian Space program to help prohibit the bone loss that the cosmonauts suffered when they were in space and away from the earths magnetic fields. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL1_U1rZig&feature=plcp systems deteriorate and our ability to process information becomes poorer as our body tries its best to perform even with the lack of high quality sleep that it needs. Therefore, you should never underestimate sleep and how pulsed electromagnetic field therapy can do for you. It could be the medication-free alternative remedy you have been waiting for all these years!

Joint and Muscle Treatment Center Pulse Electromagnetic Therapy System is the first of its kind to use high tech transducers and fine over 40 pre

set therapies for different health conditions including insomnia. It comes with its own electromagnetic energy mat, which is connected to the device as electromagnetic energy is passed from the device, to the mat and to the different cells of the body.

HOW IT WORKS If you have ever held two magnets in your hands, tried to force them together, and felt a resistance between them, then you have experienced a magnetic field. PEMF stands for Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Fields, which are widely used these days to improve circulation and cell metabolism. The body can become accustomed to nonmoving (or static) magnetic fields, which are generally unable to deeply penetrate the body. A pulsed electromagnetic field, however, is quite dynamic, is able to penetrate all the way through the body, and creates a cascade of effects within the body. The MAP PEMF Therapy uses moving magnets creating an energy wave which changes the way your body copes with pain. The electrical magnets affect the nerve cells which are electrical cells and the magnetic fields affect how the nerves fire and quiet them down without using drugs increasing circulation in the area and aid the healing. Inside the MAP there are electrical coils, and when electricity passes through there it creates a magnetic field that moves through the body whispering at 75 trillion cells in your body going deep into your body where sports creams and heating pads could never reach such as your spine. The magnetic field turns on activating ions and charged particles bringing in nutrients influencing things 2100 E. Hallandale Beach Blvd. like blood cell supply opening up blood cells.

Why older adults must understand their flu vaccine options and get vaccinated • More than 200,000 people in the U.S. are hospitalized each year from flu-related illness, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

(BPT) - With the 2013-2014 flu season officially here, it's important to consider the single best way to prevent influenza (commonly known as "the flu") - the flu vaccine.

What many older adults don't know is that the immune system weakens with age, meaning older adults are at a higher risk for flu and related complications.

More than 200,000 people in the U.S. are hospitalized each year from flu-related illness, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Adults aged 65 and older typically account for more than half (60

percent) of these hospitalizations and almost all (90 percent) flu-related deaths, the CDC reports.

To help spread the word about this serious public health issue, the National Council on Aging (NCOA) has launched the second year of Flu + You, an educational program that encourages older adults and their caregivers to learn about the seriousness of the flu, the importance of annual vaccination, and vaccine options for adults 65 and older.

Actor Lee Majors, best known for his iconic television role as The Six Million Dollar Man,

is joining the campaign this year as a national spokesperson.

"According to the CDC, the leading reason older adults do not get the flu vaccine is because they are unaware they need it," says Majors. "I get the flu shot every year and encourage my peers to do the same. It's a simple step you can take to help protect yourself from the flu."

The flu can make existing health conditions worse, and it is especially dangerous for people with lung disease, heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease and cancer, conditions that commonly affect older adults. Nationwide, 86 percent of adults 65 years of age and older have at least one chronic health condition and approximately 66 percent of Medicare beneficiaries have two or more chronic conditions, according to the CDC. These conditions put them at increased risk of the flu and flu-related complications, which include hospitalization and even death.

"The CDC recommends an annual flu vaccine as the single best way to protect yourself from the flu, yet a third of people 65

and older still don't get vaccinated," says Dr. Richard Birkel, NCOA senior vice president for Healthy Aging and Director of NCOA's Self-Management Alliance. "As NCOA continues to educate older adults about the flu and the potential severity of the illness, we hope to encourage more people to help protect themselves and their loved ones by getting an annual flu shot."

There are now many types of flu vaccines, with several specifically indicated for certain age groups or immunization needs, including a higher dose flu vaccine, for adults 65 and older, that is designed specifically to address the age-related decline of the immune system. By improving the production of antibodies in

older patients, the higher dose vaccine can provide a stronger immune response to the flu than traditional vaccines. Whichever vaccine option is selected, an annual flu shot is a Medicare Part B benefit. This means that the vaccine is covered with no copay for Medicare beneficiaries 65 and older.

Older adults and their caregivers can learn more about vaccine

options and the importance of getting an annual flu vaccine on the Flu + You website, www.ncoa.org/Flu, which features free educational materials, a public service announcement with Majors, and more facts about the flu.

Flu + You is a national public education initiative from the National Council on Aging with support from Sanofi Pasteur.

Ask the Pharmacist: Are you at risk for hepatitis C? (BPT) - What do Mickey Mantle, Evel Knievel, Naomi Judd, Pamela Anderson, Jim Nabors and Keith Richards have in common? They have all faced hepatitis C. And

they are not the only ones; about 3.2 million Americans have chronic hepatitis C. It claims the lives of more people each year than HIV/AIDS and is the leading cause of liver

Allergies From Page 2C –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) Indoor Environment Committee. "Being in these different situations can also mean coming in contact with allergens that can spur sudden allergy and asthma attacks."

To help deck the halls with holiday cheer instead of tissues and allergy medications, the ACAAI has put together tips to help you understand what can trigger your symptoms when returning home for the holidays.

Allergies are coming to town - Even if you've never before had a problem with your grandma's cat, you may find yourself suddenly sneezing and wheezing. These sudden symptoms are known as the Thanksgiving Effect, which earned its name after visiting relatives and college students, heading home for holiday breaks, suddenly noticed an allergic reaction to their pet. Allergies can strike at any age, meaning being a houseguest in a pet's home can be bothersome. If you notice you are having an allergic reaction, ask the host to keep the pet away from where you will be sleeping. Be sure to take your allergy medications and wash your hands immediately after petting your new furry friend.

Pass the sneezy pudding - Festive feasts are a staple of this time of year but they can contain several health hazards if you have a food allergy.

Be sure to check ingredient labels and don't be afraid to ask your loved ones how the meal was prepared. Items like stuffing can contain shellfish and holiday sauces can often have peanuts or tree nuts included.

Oh Christmas tree, how sappy are your branches - If you find yourself sneezing around the Christmas tree, wreaths and garland, you might be allergic to terpene. Naturally produced by plants, terpene can be found in oil and sap.

Poinsettia plants can also be a problem for those with a latex allergy. Other decorations, such as menorahs and ornaments might be laden with dust from being stored in an attic all year, irritating those with a dust mite allergy.

Make a list and check it twice - Before you travel home for the holidays, pack wisely. Be sure you take along allergy medications, an inhaler and allergist-prescribed epinephrine if you are at risk for a severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis. If you rely on immunotherapy (allergy shots) for relief, be sure to schedule an appointment with your allergist before you leave.

Allergies and asthma shouldn't put a damper on holiday celebrations. Before you set out to visit with friends and relatives this season, check out smoke and pet-free hotels in the area just in case you need a new place to stay. If you'll be away from home most of the season, find a local allergist you can see in your temporary destination by visiting www.acaai.org/AllergistFinder.

The way we process stress can have a direct impact on our physical and mental health.

Medicare will cover the cost of screening if you are at high risk or symptomatic.

For chronic hepatitis C patients, Fowler says, being adherent to the medication's dosing regimen is key for the best health outcomes. "Forty percent of hepatitis C patients do not take their medication as prescribed, which can lead to therapy failure and prolonged use of medication," says Fowler. "The challenging part is that hepatitis C medications often have significant side-effects including fatigue, mood disorders, low blood cells and flulike symptoms, which causes nearly 40 percent of patients to become non-adherent."

For the millions of Americans who suffer from hepatitis C, Fowler offers the following tips: * Be adherent: Being consistent with a dosing regimen is important, especially among the hepatitis population. People with hepatitis C often must follow a medication regimen that demands multiple doses of three

His team flags drug interactions, provides patient support and educates patients on specialty medication therapy and ways to manage side-effects.

"Hepatitis C is a contagious liver disease that ranges in severity from a mild illness lasting a few weeks to a serious, lifelong illness that attacks the liver," Fowler says.

"For a lucky few, their body is able to clear the virus. However, in most people, the initial infection leads to long-lasting or chronic infection."

The disease is much more common among baby boomers (those born between 1945 and 1965). Many baby boomers were infected between 1970 and 1990, before universal screenings of the blood supply were adopted. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that all baby

separate medications each day. Talk with your doctor or specialist pharmacist if you need support with your schedule or are struggling with adherence. * Read the fine print: Many hepatitis C drugs provide specific instructions to help minimize side effects. For example, one commonly prescribed medication may cause flu-like symptoms, so some patients take the dose at night (to sleep off the side effects) or the day before a day off work. Taking an ibuprofen at the time can also lessen side effects. * Follow specific instructions: Some of the newest medications for hepatitis C are oral medications. While oral medications are more convenient, they must be taken at precisely spaced intervals throughout the day and with food to ensure adequate absorption. In fact, some medications specify the nutritional content requirements of the food. * Stay well hydrated: Consuming enough fluids is very important. A great rule of thumb is to deter-

New household hazardous waste disposal program makes it easier to eliminate many dangerous items “We want to be sure (residents) don’t place household hazardous wastes in the regular solid waste. We’ve lost two garbage trucks to fires.”

JOHN CHIDSEY, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS

Hallandale Beach launched a new household hazardous waste disposal program in October, making it easier for residents to dispose of old paint cans, burned out fluorescent light bulbs, old tires, car batteries or other hazardous household waste found in many homes. Residents can drop off household hazardous wastes Saturdays, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Public

Works compound, 630 NW 2nd St. “We want to be sure (residents) don’t place household hazardous wastes in the regular solid waste,” said John Chidsey, Assistant Director of Public Works.

“We’ve lost two garbage trucks to fires.”

Many household hazardous wastes are flammable and, when mixed with other chemicals, can start a fire.

What may seem

HAZARDOUS WASTE ITEMS ACCEPTED • One-gallon paint cans.

• Fluorescent light bulbs.

• Electronic materials.

• Household cleaning liquids.

• Tires (up to four).

• Vehicle batteries.

• Used motor oil.

• Anti-freeze.

Saluting our many local Veterans

Hallandale Beach City Commissioners honored City employees at the Wednesday, Nov. 6, City Commission meeting for their service in the United States Armed Forces. The event is one of two hosted by the City to honor veterans who devoted their time and energy to preserving the freedom and liberty that is the cornerstone United States. A second event was held on Veterans Day. Veterans honored at the City Commission meeting include, front row, from left, Commissioner Bill Julian, Vitale Toptchenko, Procurement Department, Fire Rescue Chief Daniel Sullivan, Police Chief Dwayne Flournoy, and Assistant City Manager/CRA Daniel Rosemond. Honoring the troops are, back row, from left, City Commissioner Michele Lazarow, Mayor Joy Cooper, Vice Mayor Alex Lewy, and City Commissioner Anthony Sanders.

A SALUTE TO VETERANS -- Hallandale Beach veterans stand at attention at the raising of the United States flag as part of their celebration of Veterans Day, 2013. In the bottom photo, more than 20 veterans turned out for the event which paid special tribute to Vietnam era veterans on the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the Vietnam War. Hallandale Beach will never forget the sacrifices residents who served in the Armed Forces gave to preserve freedom and liberty. At the annual City of Hallandale Beach Veterans Day service, more than 20 former troops stood tall and were honored for their service. In photo above right, among those honored at the event was former Mayor Arthur “Sonny” Rosenberg, center, who stands tall with Hallandale Beach Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Marc Vermont, left, and Lt. Raul Perez, right. Each veteran was presented a pin from the City to commemorate their service in the military.

• Residents can drop off household hazardous wastes Saturdays, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Public Works compound, 630 NW 2nd St. truck and mixed with trash from other residences, those chemicals could become toxic or flammable and become combustible.

Among the hazardous wastes the City will accept are: one-gallon paint cans; fluorescent light bulbs, electronic materials, household cleaning liquids, tires (up to four), vehicle batteries, used motor oil and anti-freeze.

City residents, with proof of residence, can drop off the materials any Saturday at Public Works. Most cleaning solutions are considered haz-

ardous waste.

However, once the cleaning solution has been used, the plastic container can be placed in with regular recyclables.

The site will not accept old explosives, ammunition

or medical waste.

AVENTURA - This year, American Thanksgiving falls on the first day of Chanukah. It only happened once before, in 1888. And it’s impossible to determine when or if this will ever happen again.

So, instead of looking forward to the next time, this is the year to

make these two holidays very special - and the best way to make sure yours is the most delicious ever, as well as completely free of stress, is to order it from Kosher Kingdom, a 10,000-square-foot, trusted Glatt Kosher market in Aventura. It offers complete pack-

ages geared to the size of your dinner party.

“Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday by itself," says Philip Einhorn, who owns Kosher Kingdom with his father and business partner, Michael. "Add in Chanukah and you really have something very impressive this year. We know our customers want to serve the very best."

CELEBRATING CHANUKAH When it comes to celebrating Chanukah, Kosher Kingdom is a must stop.

"We have the best doughnuts - also known as Sufganiyah," said Einhorn. "We also have 3 for $1 potato latkes."

Kosher Kingdom also carries a full assortment of Menorahs, candles, dreidels, gift items, decorations, candy and much more.

Quick and easy meal solutions for holiday entertaining (BPT) - The hectic holidays can mean hurried cooks, frantic trips to the grocery store and chaotic menu planning. But it doesn't have to - with some tried and true solutions for easy entertaining, you can reduce your stress and set up a holiday party guaranteed to impress guests from near or far.

Don't let cooking and entertaining dim your holiday spirit.

Follow these simple tips for making your next holiday meal as easy to plan as it is delicious: Appetizers - Modern cheese plates are far from boring and are a simple way to add a gourmet touch to your event. Remember to balance tastes, textures and visual appeal to create a memorable cheese plate. A good rule of thumb: include three cheeses with different flavor profiles, such as a soft brie, a sharp cheddar and a crumbly blue like Stella blue cheese.

Fondue - Add an interactive twist to your favorite holiday fare with fondue.

Fondue is a fun way to kick off a meal with a variety of appetizer options. Or make it a full meal experience, with multiple courses incorporating fondue as the common element. Buy or rent fondue pots and set

CHEESE CHEESY MASHED POTATOES dishes - Think your guests are bored with the same foods year after year? Unlikely, but if you want to add pizzazz to your cooking, you can do so while staying true to the classic recipes you love. Traditional holiday dishes - like mashed potatoes and salads can be updated in seconds with cheese.

Few things can't benefit from a quick sprinkle of Stella Parmesan, which you can pick up at your local grocery store.

Another option is to add a dash of herbs to help bring out the natural flavors of your foods; fresh herbs like rosemary and mint or pantry staples like cinnamon and nutmeg bring bold new flavor to your dishes.

Pairings party - Let your inner foodie shine and impress your friends with a holiday pairings party. Select items that are easy to prepare and pair with

up tables or stations with different themes. Cheese fondue is perfect for veggies, fruit and breads. Rich brothbased fondues are great for main courses like meats and seafood. Chocolate, of course, is ideal for dessert when paired with berries, brownies and marshmallows.

Potluck - The holidays are all about bringing people together, and what better way than to host a potluck-style meal where everyone brings a favorite dish to share? The host typically handles the main entree, and then the guests can bring dishes to complement the meal.

Ask attendees if they have something in mind, or if they are unsure, assign particular items to ensure your meal is covered. It's a great way to introduce everyone to new recipes.

Reinvent classic

CHEESE FONDUE complementing drinks. For example, Champagne pairs great with delicate cheeses like brie, ale beers pair nicely with richly flavored cheeses like gorgonzola, and medium-bodied red wines pair well with hard Italian-style cheeses like Asiago.

Label pairings appropriately so guest can congregate around the buffet table and sample at will. Their taste buds will dance and the food discussions will be plentiful.

Try these two tasty and simple recipes at your next holiday party: EUROPEAN STELLA CHEESE FONDUE 1 cup dry white wine, such as sauvignon blanc or pinot grigio15 ounce (3 contain-

Practice makes perfect: a dress rehearsal for your turkey

• This holiday season, make sure your bird impresses all the guests and relatives (BPT) - The holidays are approaching and before you know it, you'll be thinking about that daunting task of cooking a turkey. This holiday season, make sure your bird impresses all the guests and relatives by conducting a dress rehearsal for your turkey. More than 88 percent of Americans eat turkey on Thanksgiving, according to a National Turkey Federation survey.

But before doing so, why not do a dry run and prepare a turkey, or try a smaller bird like chicken, using a brining technique that is sure to be a crowd pleaser?

It's the hot new culinary trend that's got everyone from celebrity chefs to home cooks buzzing. But even though brining may be the latest technique to sweep kitchens, it's hardly new. Mankind has been brining since ancient times. It probably started out, hundreds of millennia ago, as a way of preserving seafood with sea salt. The technique has come a long way since, and now food lovers everywhere, in typical what's-old-is-new-again fashion, are rediscovering the benefits of brining.

Think you don't have the tools to brine? Chef Helen Roberts, director of culinary development at Kikkoman, has perfected the turkey brine. The brine is simple: salt, sugar, water, dried spices and the magic ingredient: soy sauce. Pull out your refrigerator drawer or a large, deep bucket to brine your bird. After you've stirred your ingredients and placed your turkey in the liquid, let the brine work its magic overnight.

What's the secret behind brining? Brining has a tenderizing and moisturizing effect. The brine is absorbed and diffused throughout the meat as it soaks overnight. In addition, Roberts explains that soy sauce has a savory effect that seals in the turkey flavor and moisture. "Brining makes a big difference when you're roasting meat. You'll have the juiciest bird you've ever tasted," says Roberts. But, as we all know, a turkey isn't the only thing on the kitchen table check out some recipes here that will leave your taste buds craving for more.

SAVORY TURKEY BRINE Ingredients (Recipe for a 16 to 24 pound turkey) 2 gallons cold water 10 ounces Kikkoman Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce 1/2 cup kosher salt 1/2 cup sugar 2 tablespoons dried sage 2 tablespoons dried celery seed 1 tablespoon dried thyme INSTRUCTIONS The night before roasting, remove giblets and turkey neck; rinse turkey inside and out. In a large stock pot or 5 gallon bucket, mix water with remaining ingredients. Stir well until all the salt is dissolved. Place turkey in the pot, cover with a lid and refrigerate overnight or at least 8 hours. Remove turkey from the brine, rinsing well. Follow your regular cooking instructions.

Brining isn't just for meat though. Brine veggies for a rich, savory taste. Perhaps one of the trendiest veggies, Brussels sprouts, are a prime candidate for a soy sauce brine. Sick of the same old side dishes? Now that you've brined your turkey, get creative with your side dishes too. Put a spin on classic mashed potatoes with the Wasabi Mashed Potatoes recipe found on www.kikkomanusa.com. The spice and heat will balance out the creamy texture of the mashed potatoes. If you have leftover turkey, try a completely new dish instead of just reheating. Keep enjoying your juicy turkey by adding to a stir fry, include in a salad or in a tetrazzini. For leftover mashed potatoes, use panko to transform into crunchy, warm Panko Mashed Potato Cakes.

Have you ever wondered ... why turkey for Thanksgiving? Turkeys became a Thanksgiving staple after the Native Americans introduced turkey to the Pilgrims back in 1621 during the first Thanksgiving meal. As you prepare to celebrate the holidays, try this brining recipe to keep turkey juicy and moist, and you are bound to enjoy a wonderful meal with friends and family.

Jamie's Garden of Eden is back in Hollywood and open 7 days a week Jamie's Garden of Eden Fruit and Vegetable Market is back - and they will be open 7 days a week from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Located at 3701 N. 29th Ave., 1 block south of Penn Dutch Market, Jamie's offers everything from fresh tomatoes to Indian River Juice Oranges as well as fresh in-season favorites such as grapes, apples, lettuce and sweet pineapples. Give them a try and you'll never look anywhere else.

Baking basics are a recipe for holiday success (BPT) - Whether your end-of-year festivities involve mistletoe and ho-ho-ho, a menorah and dreidel, or a kinara and seven colorful candles, holidays of all cultures seem to have one thing in common: baking. Food is an integral part of many celebrations, and whether it's Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or a family get-together, chances are there's a baked good in attendance.

Perhaps you're thinking of trying your hand at some family recipes you've never made before, or want to experiment with favorites from other holiday traditions. Whatever dish you make this holiday season, these baking basics help ensure success: STOCK THE STAPLES A variety of delectable ingredients is one of the many things to love about holiday baking, but some staples show up in many recipes. Plain white flour is the foundation of many holiday baked goods, so be sure to keep plenty on hand.

Baking soda and baking powder are also frequent necessities, as are eggs and sugar (white, powdered and brown).

While peppermint may be apropos for Christmas cookies and candies, and cinnamon and cloves impart ethnic flair to Kwanzaa recipes, vanilla is one flavor that appears in nearly every tradition.

This year, add NielsenMassey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract to your pantry.

Your holiday recipes will benefit from the complex and superior vanilla flavor provided by the Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract as it enhances and deepens the other ingredients in your baking.

When buying ingredients it is important to remember that quality counts. Higher quality ingredients may be slightly higher in price, but you'll likely need less of them. Keep these staples on hand in your pantry, and you'll be ready to tackle any holiday recipe, whether tried-and-true

or new and daring.

PREP FOR PERFORMANCE Pre-cooking preparation will help ensure top kitchen performance.

Before you dive into a new recipe, sit down at the kitchen table and read it - beginning to end - twice. Make two lists of ingredients; one for items you already have in your wellstocked pantry, and a second for items you'll need to buy. Check to be sure you have the necessary bakeware.

Nothing's worse than having all your ingredients assembled only to realize you loaned your springform pan to your sister last year and never got it back.

Once you have all the ingredients and utensils you need, line them up and get started. Prep pans per the recipe directions, such as greasing cake pans or covering cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Preheat the oven to the required temperature.

Since this can take 10 minutes or more, depending on the age of your oven, it's a good idea to start the oven before you begin mixing ingredients. Never attempt to bake in an oven that hasn't been preheated.

Measure dry ingredients first and set them aside, then measure any "wet" ingredients such as oil, shortening, eggs or vanilla extract.

Sifting dry ingredients improves the overall texture of baked goods and gets rid of any lumps. Pre-measuring

helps ensure a smooth, uninterrupted process when it's time to begin mixing ingredients together. Be sure to add ingredients according to the recipe, rather than dumping everything into the bowl at once.

COOL FOR CONCLUSION One of the most common - and worst - baking mistakes is impatience. Most baked goods require a cooling period before they can be safely removed from the baking pan, tray or sheet.

Some recipes may specify the time needed to allow your cookies or cake to cool, while others might simply advise you to wait until the item is cool to the touch. Rushing removal can result in breaking, crumbling, splitting and sticking - the kind of disasters no amount of icing can cover. After removing your holiday goodies from the oven, set them on a rack to cool and go do something else. You'll be happy you were patient when that fully cooled item slides easily out of the pan.

Baking is an exact science - more so than savory cooking that allows room for improvisation. By following the basics, you can be assured of baking success.

CHEWY MACADAMIA NUT COOKIES 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened 2 cups firmly packed dark brown sugar

1 teaspoon NielsenMassey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract 2 eggs 3 cups unbleached allpurpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cream of tartar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts Directions: Cream the butter, brown sugar and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer on a medium speed until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add the flour, baking soda, salt, cream of tartar and cinnamon and mix well. Stir in the macadamia nuts. Chill for two hours.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat an insulated cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray.

Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.

Makes three dozen When preparing bakery items such as cookies, here's a tip to enhance the flavor intensity of your product: cream the vanilla into the butter or shortening and sugar first. This step encapsulates the vanilla and helps prevent flavor loss in low mass/low moisture/high heat cookies.
