THE ULTIMATE DESTINATION Larry Blustein

HOLLYWOOD - I have long talked about how I am always impressed by what the Downtown Hollywood area has to offer. I recently decided to head back to this gem of an entertainment destination to see what things look like in the heart of the tourist season.

Just when it appeared that the cooler than usual tempera-

tures would make this trip sort of a waste, with most opting to stay away on this night, I was –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– BLUSTEIN, Page 9A

City’s Code Enforcement is one of the major factors that impact the quality of life

HALLANDALE BEACH One attribute of a city that is often over looked is how they manage Code Enforcement. Code Enforcement is one of the major factors that impact the quality of life of our residents. Code enforcement often strikes a good chord, or bad, depending on which end of the law you are on. The two sides play out like this. There is a home that is kept up to code. The structure is safe, the yard is free of debris, the grass is cut, the windows are sound, fencing is maintained and the front yard in not a storage area.

The house next door next is a mess. The roof is deteriorated, there is trash in the yard, there are weeds, windows boarded up, fencing pulled down and they are storing a broken down car.

These are obvious code violations. The owner is cited and must clean up the property. The owner that has maintained their house is very happy and the person cited is very upset.

The two parties have a very different view of community responsibility. One has the goal to keep their property safe and clean in order to maintain the value and the other views the code as in intrusion on what they want to do with their own personal property. Cities need to strike a balance between the two by implimenting policy through codes and ordinances. Without the proper tools and management, blight cannot be addressed and property values cannot

Mayor Joy Cooper be maintained.

Cities operate under a set of codes and ordinances.

They are adopted and amended by the city’s legislative body. Some codes are also set by the state and the county. In the case of state and county law, the city cannot minimize the code, but does have the opportunity to make codes stronger. Building codes and property maintenance regulations help keep residents safe, preserve the environment and maintain property values. This directly correlates with property values and the sustainably of a city.

The Code Officials are the public servants that enforce the codes. Their main goal is compliance with the code; not hearings and fines. Code Enforcement officers are assigned quadrants in the city. Within their quadrants they travel street by street to ensure that codes are not being violated. There are also Fire Marshalls that ensure public safety codes are being followed.

Code Officers are also required to address code

complaints from the public.

An example of this would be the property owner above; they may have reported a neighbor. Any resident or business owner can contact the city and file a complaint about a property. Code officers must respond. Often residents will complain this is selective enforcement, but it is not.

When a code officer goes out to a property there is a procedure that must be followed. Recently during our visioning session the commission discussed the process and the need to insure that the policy is uniformly implemented. The process is as follows: An officer will observe a violation and provide a courtesy notification. This can be verbally, via the phone, or written. Not all cities do this. Our commission created this policy in order to encourage compliance. These types of administrative tools do not negate the code, but make for a softer approach to compliance.

At that time, depending on the severity of the violation, the officers will allow the property owner to correct the violation. In the event there needs to be a permit to complete repairs, the officers will follow up to make sure they have applied. They also will make sure the work was completed.

This is the ideal scenario.

The property has come into compliance. It has been found nationally that in 90 percent of cases this is the result. The other cases are

considered in the industry to be the “Tough Ten Percent”.

If the property owner has not taken appropriate action to correct the problem, they will be cited with a Notice of Violation referred to as NOV. This is a formal letter sent by regular mail and certified mail to the property owner of record.

The letter lists the violation(s) and the property owner must reply within a specified time. Failure to respond can result in a hearing. At this point the owner still has time to correct the problem. So long as an owner can show that there is work in process, they can request an extension. If the problem is fixed before the hearing date, Staff will pull the case.

In our city there is a special Magistrate. Once the hearing date is set the owner is given 10 days’ notice to appear. At this point the Magistrate has jurisdiction. He/She can give a deadline to address the violations and reset a hearing date or can set a daily fine until the property is brought up to compliance.

This is the worst case scenario. Fines will accumulate and often become liens. There is the ability to have fines mitigated if the property has come into compliance. The city has an administrative policy that provides for Staff to evaluate fines and provide an appeal to the City Manager.

Over the past years the mitigation policy provided a threshold for the City Man-

ager to provide relief on accumulated fines. Mitigation is focused on the end goal of compliance; not fines. The City Manager has the ability to negotiate mitigations. The thresholds are 5% on homesteaded property and 10% on nonhomesteaded. The amounts that were established were sensitive to the fact that the taxpayers should not carry the burden of costs from non-complainant property owners.

Often these thresholds covered the cost, but in some cases have not.

Keeping with the goals of compliance and wanting costs paid in full by the non-complying owners, the City Commission adopted a resolution clarifying policy.

In both cases; homesteaded and non-homesteaded; actual cost or percentage, whichever is

greater, must be paid. In the event of a Neighborhood Improvement Program participating property, the minimum payment will be set at $500. In hardship cases such as death illness, elderly, financial and or catastrophic the fine could be reduced further.

In a community like Hallandale Beach, the majority of residents do take pride in their homes and business. Many basic property maintenance codes are fairly easy to adhere to. All they take is some time and sweat effort.

The Genius of French Impressionists Inspires Classical Piano Festival

Three days of performances at the Broward Center celebrate the 150th birthday of Debussy and the impact of the Impressionists on Classical music

Piano

From Page 1A ––––––––––––––––––– Lauderdale where world class virtuosos will perform four unique programs including a chamber concert in celebration of the French Impressionists and the 150th anniversary of Debussy’s birth. Tickets are on sale now and given the popularity of this classical genre, they are sure to sell quickly!

The term "Impressionist" is inspired by the “impressions” of the Paris-based painters like Manet, Renoir, Degas and especially Monet. Artists in both music and painting were motivated by a desire to break down old conventions in order to explore new methods and techniques. Impressionism in music, as in visual arts, focuses on a suggestion and an atmosphere rather than on a strong emotion or the depiction of a story. For the Impressionists is was all about the sonorities and the special effects achieved through new and exciting musical configurations which paved the way for the emergence of jazz and a new age of music.

In this three day tribute to the Impressionists, the Miami International Piano Festival created four incredible performances with five worldrenowned musicians for the Master Series.

The first of the four concerts is a Sunday Matinee solo piano recital by Francesco Libetta. The concert “A Tribute to Debussy and Ravel” starts at 3:00PM Libetta and will provide an exquisite overview of well known signature pieces by Debussy (such as Elegie) and Ravel (selections from Mirroirs), he also follows the evolution of

the movement beginning with Faure and continuing all the way forward to Villalobos and Messaien.

Straight from his month long tour of Japan, Konstantin Lifschitz (Russia) has prepared a delightful program for the Sunday evening performance at 7:45pm on March 3rd “Celebrating the 150th Birthday of Debussy”. When Lifschitz performs the music of just one composer, he literally embodies the heart and mind of the creator and what emerges for the audience is a truly transcendent experience where time and space become irrelevant. Nothing matters more than the music.

And with this special program Lifschitz will illustrate Debussy's use of musical metaphor and his connection to poetry.

Be prepared to be amazed on the evening of Monday, March 4th at 7:45PM! There is perhaps no better way to appreciate Debussy’s obsession with the sonority of the piano than to listen to his masterpiece “In white and black” written for not one but two instruments. The Miami International Piano Festival is delighted to have two pianists perform as a duo on a program that features this work as well as monumental pieces by Messaien and Ravel. When Konstantin Lifschitz (Russia) and Francesco Libetta (Italy) join forces on Monday, March 4th, the results will be transformative.

To unify the entire three day emersion into the Genius of French Impressionism and create a true Festival atmosphere, each program includes a short 30 minute enlightening talk during intermission by one of today’s most fascinating music historians, Stuart Isacoff. Isacoff is a pianist, composer, and writer, and was the founding editor of

the magazine Piano Today. A winner of the prestigious ASCAP Deems Taylor Award for excellence in writing about music, he is a frequent contributor to The Wall Street Journal and many music periodicals.

The Miami International Piano Festival concludes this three day festival with a very special 2013 Master Series grand finale with a program of

chamber music from the French Impressionists, Debussy, Ravel and Faure. Pianist Misha Dacic (Serbia) teams up with eclectic French violinist Gilles Apap who was recently on Jeopardy and Dimitri Maslennikov (Russia) on cello. Their program offers a mesmerizing journey into the creative genius of these composers whose innovations

spawned a new age of music. Included in their program will be Debussy’s Violin Sonata in G minor, Ravel’s Cello Sonata, and Fauré’s Piano Trio in D minor.

To purchase your tickets today simply call the Broward Center box office 954462-0222 or visit www.miamipianofest.com. Tickets range in price from

$15-$50 depending on seat selection. You may purchase individual tickets or buy a 4concert subscription for one low price and receive the same seats to all concerts!

With such a popular and well loved chamber program, tickets are selling fast. Don’t miss this once in a lifetime chance to literally relive the life and times of Impressionism.

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

Their dentists and staff value your trust and guarantee 100% satisfaction whether you are in for a complete cosmetic makeover, regular dental procedures or a mild enhancement.

They have been restoring and improving smiles for more than three decades, focusing on bringing the brightest smile back to their patient’s faces.

Whether your smile needs a quick and thorough cleaning or a more comprehensive smile make-over, Dr. Silver and his staff are specialty trained in most state-of-the-art techniques to bring you the newest treatments and specialize in dental implants.

Dental Implants are done for a variety of reasons. According to the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, statistics show that nearly 70% of adults aged 35 to 44 years in the United States have at least one missing tooth due to an accident, tooth decay, gum disease, or dental fractures.

But there’s no need to go through life with missing teeth. There are many good alternatives available.

Dental Implants and Dentures are the most common options and can work in conjunction with each other.

After a while the tooth your partial denture is hooked to may decay. If you are missing teeth and your gums and jaw are healthy, you may benefit from dental implants, which are replacement teeth that are implanted surgically into the jawbone.

Two or more implants may serve as a base of support for several replacement teeth. Implants are tiny titanium posts that are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth.

In addition, implants can help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration that oc-

curs when teeth are missing. Aesthetics is one of the biggest reasons for opting for dental implants because they look and feel as natural as real teeth and help to create a beautiful smile.

Normal chewing and bite can also be re-established which keeps surrounding teeth, gums and jaws working properly. With advancement in the technology, dental implants are actually more tooth-saving than traditional bridgework, since implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support.

Most people worry about the amount of time it takes for often complicated dental implantations as well as the required period of recovery. Conventional implant procedures often require several appointments and long hours of surgical procedures, not to mention the recovery time. However, technological advancements significantly reduce the amount of time for an implant to be placed as well as for recovery. Today, implantation only takes a day and virtually no recovery time is needed as patients can eat almost anything they want immediately after. Dental implants are changing the way people live! With dental implants, people are rediscovering the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh, and enjoy life.

wrong. You have to remember that 50 degree weather will never be a something that will keep our visitors - or even loyal locals off the streets of the downtown area. Not when many have to endure the heat and humidity that this region offers us.

In a time where the economy has more than dictated what our financial limitations have been, this is a region of our coverage area that does have that unique blend of home-towners and visitors. Neither really dominate the landscape of Hollywood Blvd., Harrison Street and surrounding areas, but all come to have fun and pump some much needed money into our sluggish economy.

With gas prices rising every day and making a huge impact on our spending and traveling,

the downtown Hollywood area has emerged as one of those places that is centrally located, and free in most places, to park. That is what brings in the crowds and keeps them there.

While many have long preached how this is truly one of the uncovered South Florida entertainment destinations, with its many restaurants, specialty shops and "mom and pop" businesses, it is also a region that has endured some very tough times.

Even though I am one of those people who love to go back in time and relive the more simpler and less complicated days, the downtown Hollywood area was never what is today. Sure, you had many businesses and small town touches that gave it that quaint feel, but from a destination standpoint, it really wasn't one.

Valentine’s Day Tennis event helps to raise money

RELAY FOR LIFE

Hallandale Beach residents and visitors turned out in force on Valentine’s Day for the annual Relay for Life Tennis Tournament hosted by Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Chairwomen Barbara Southwick. The players at the Golden Isles Tennis Center raised funds for the American Cancer Society’s annual Relay Serving up for Relay for Life drive. The annual Relay for Life walk for Life at the tennis tournament is and event will be held at Mayor Joy Cooper.

Gulfstream Park from 6 p.m. Friday, April 26, through 10 a.m., Saturday, April 27.

On Valentine’s Day morning, luckily 5 of the 8 round robin sessions were completed and the breakfast moved into the indoor room at the clubhouse with rain falling.

Everyone enjoyed the in-kind donations from our pro Todd Trombetta and Locatel Pharmacy, who provided prizes for the winners and food and drinks from Flashback Diner, Nicks & Sage Restaurants, WinnDixie and Walgreens.

Since its inception eight years ago, the women’s team has guided three of its members through cancer, thus our generous donation of approximately $1,500 each year is so meaningful. This is just one event that takes place in Hallandale Beach to support Relay for Life with the main event coming up in April.

came from North Miami to have dinner outside on this cool evening. Between a few bottles of a wine and some dinner starters, they used this backdrop to talk about things that friends do. In what was designed to be a ladies night out, the trio ran into some friends who also joined in the "party".

"We have tried just about every restaurant in Hollywood," Cohen said, pointing at a few eateries she and her friends have visited.

"This is easily one of the best locations to come to. There are like 20 places to eat and have cocktails in a great environment."

Cohen is right on.

There is probably not an area - of its size - that has more restaurant choices - bar/food selections and so many independently-owned businesses. That is why many - in all age categories - talk about the fun they have had on their visits.

I have always maintained that every community needs to have a city center. One that generates enough businesses to not only serve as a local option, but also have enough qual-

ity to attract regional visitors. Downtown Hollywood has always been that meeting place.

The great thing about the downtown area is that once you park your car, the options are endless. With the ArtsPark making a huge splash over the past two years with concerts, food truck night and other assorted events, the spillover has helped many of the local merchants.

I know that many restaurants feel that the food trucks may dig into their businesses, but it's just once a week. It does bring a new customer base into the city, which is great for exposure. People see other businesses and restaurants on their initial visit to enjoy the food truck experience, and then come back to visit the many quality eateries that offer a major choice.

As we all know, restaurants, especially in this economic climate, come and go, but walk up and down any street downtown and you will see very few vacancies.

New restaurants are always coming in - and from Thai to Greek and just about every other cuisine you can think of - it's an underrated culi-

nary hotspot.

Steaks, chicken, seafood, pasta and just about anything you may have a craving for - including several sweet and bakery shops make the choices much easier.

From an event standpoint, I cannot think of any city in South Florida that does more to give their businesses exposure like the City of Hollywood and the CRA. There is always some kind of event that attracts thousands each year, which include the upcoming St. Patrick's Day Parade and Celebration, which is actually held on Mar. 10th.

"I have lived in this city for 21 years and appre-

ciate how they spotlight these downtown businesses," Candi Clark said. "This is also great how many quality restaurants and eateries there are in just a few blocks. I like it here a lot."

If you are a full-time resident - or just happen to be living here a few months out of the year, there are many entertainment options to choose from, but when you talk about value and a great time, Downtown Hollywood has to step to the front.

petizers including their Signature Dishes, Baked Clams Oreganata (Long Island wild clams topped with their seasoned homemade bread crumbs, fresh garlic and parsley), Zuppa D’Cozze (Fresh Mediterranean mussels sautéed with fresh garlic, herbs and extra virgin olive oil), or maybe you love mushrooms. In that case order the Spedino “Acquolina” (Slices of fresh Toscana bread, layered with fresh mozzarella, porcini mushrooms, and anchovies in a light cream sauce).

The Zagat rated restaurant serves their dishes in two sizes the Half which is a large single serving and Family Style which will feed 2 to 4 which makes it easy to share various dishes. It’s a great

BAR BITE MENU IS IMPRESSIVE On a recent visit, my friend and I sat at the bar on a Thursday evening and ordered from their Bar Bite menu. Terry, the very knowledgeable barmaid suggested we try the Mediterranean Cozzie first. I can only say I have never tasted better mussels anywhere.

Fresh Mediterranean mussels roasted in an iron skillet, tossed with extra virgin olive oil, kosher salt and fresh lemon juice.

They were goodsized, plump mussels (which worried me because of the size, I expected them to be chewy) but they were so tender they almost melted in our mouths.

Next we tried the Jumbo Meatball served with Ricotta and Toast Points, and then the New York Style Pizza with a thin, crispy baked crust topped with homemade marinara, fresh mozzarella, imported Romano and fresh basil. Everything was delicious! It was a congenial atmosphere with everyone praising their food and we enjoyed a fun conversation with a former Jockey’s Agent and his wife. Starting at 7:00 PM we were entertained by the wonderful keyboards and voice of Giuseppe Viola who entertains you with classic and pop songs, Sinatra and even Arias from Opera. Giuseppe is there Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings.

American singer/songwriter and actor Paul Anka brings all his hit songs to Hard Rock Live

Page 2B South Florida Sun-Times/Thursday, February 21, 2013

Anka became famous in the late 1950's and 1960's with hit songs such as: “Diana,” “Lonely Boy” and “Put Your Head on My Shoulder.” From there he went on to write such wellknown music like the theme song for “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” and one of Tom Jones’ biggest hits “She’s a Lady,” the lyrics for Frank Sinatra’s Signature Song, “My Way,” sung over and over again by many well known artists.

Paul recorded his first single “I Confess” at the young age of 14. In 1957, he auditioned for Don Costa at ABC in New York City. The song “Diana,” brought Anka instant stardom as it rocketed to number one on the Canadian and U.S. music charts. He followed up with four more songs that made it to the top twenty in 1958, including: “It’s Time to Cry,” which made number 4 and in addition to “All Of a Sudden, My Heart Sings,” reaching number 15, making him at 17 years old, one of the best known teen idols of the time. He had written a song for Buddy Holly, “It Doesn’t Matter Anymore,” which was recorded before buddy passed away. In 2005, Anka, a former Canadian, was awarded a star on Canada's Walk of Fame in Toronto.

Paul Anka comes to Hard Rock Live for two nights, February 22 and 23, 2013 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $44 to $89 in person at the box office only, located on State Road & (U.S. 441), Hollywood. For more information, call: (954) 327-ROCK. Or: 1 (800) 937-0010.

information call 954462-0222.

Tony, one of America‘s favorite singers has gone from “Rags to Riches,” through almost a century and is now enjoying his years as an octogenarian and really knows what it is like to be “Young at Heart.” He was only ten when he gave a singing performance at the opening of the Tri Borough Bridge.

Tony studied music and art at the New York High School of Industrial Arts, but was forced to drop out at sixteen years of age, in order to help support his family by becoming a singing waiter in the local Italian restaurant. Many of the songs he sang and recorded are: “The Good Life,” “Night And Day,” “That Old Black Magic,” “Embraceable You,” “Fly Me to the Moon,” “Stranger in Paradise,” “The Best Is Yet To Come” and “I Left My Heart in San Francisco,” including so many more his fans love to hear, still being sung by the one and only music icon, Tony Bennett with great success even today.

Hear them all in his “Salute to Tony Bennett,” the winner of seventeen Grammy Awards. Tickets range from $51 to $151. Club Level seats are available at $161.

voice. He enlisted in the United States Army in 1952 and played in the army band. When a friend suggested he contact that the production company of “Guys and Dolls,” he went to see the show and at once decided he wanted to be an actor. Linden became successful as an actor when he replaced Sydney Chaplin in the Broadway production, “‘Bells Are Ringing" in 1962. He played the character of Billy Crocker in Cole Porter’s musical “Anything Goes,” he became even more successful going on to play the role of Mayer Rothschild in the musical, “The Rothschilds” earning him a Tony Award for best actor in a Musical.

In 1975, Hal Linden landed the starring role in the ABC television police comedy “Barney Miller." He portrayed the well known captain from the 12th Precinct in bohemian Greenwich Village dealing with abundant wit, compassion and occasional frustration at the misfits brought in for arrest, questioning, those who came by to lodge a complaint or just to say hello. For his work in the series, he earned seven Emmy Award nominations. Linden also earned four Golden Globe Awards for “Best Actor.”

Hal presents an entertaining evening of songs ranging from classic, pop, jazz, standards and Broadway tunes at the Aventura Center on February 28, 2013 at 8 p.m., located at 3385 Northeast 188th Street, Aventura. For reservations and directions, call:

BUDGET MEETINGS Hallandale Beach property owners, business owners and residents will have an opportunity help shape the Fiscal Year 2014 budget, starting tonight

Hallandale Beach property owners, business owners and residents in the Southeast Quadrant will have an opportunity help shape the Fiscal Year 2014 budget at the Budget Awareness Town Hall meeting tonight at 6:30 p.m., at the Cultural Community Center, 410 SE 3rd Street.

This is the first of five meetings where City

Manager Renee C. Miller will outline the budget objectives and listen to your suggestions. Participants are encouraged to bring suggestions, speak up and ask questions about how your tax dollars are to be spent.

Several suggestions from the Budget Awareness Town Hall meetings last year were incorporated into the

Fiscal Year 2013 budget.

City Manager Mrs. Miller and Hallandale Beach City Commissioners are in initial discussions for the budget.

The City Manager is taking the budget objectives to residents in each quadrant before drafting the budget and presenting it to the residents in May. The City Manager will incorpo-

2nd Annual City of Hallandale Beach Senior Championships coming Mar. 11

Tighten up your tennis racquet strings, polish your bowling ball, practice your aim on the bocce court and work on your backstroke, registration is under way for the 2nd Annual City of Hallandale Beach Senior Championships, Monday, March 11, through Saturday, March 16, 2013, at various City venues.

The annual games are open to all residents and non-residents 50 years and older. Early registration continues through Friday, March 1. Late registration runs from Monday, March 4, through Friday, March 8.

Hallandale Beach Parks and Recreation Department and Parks and Recreation Advisory Board launched the games last year after Broward County canceled the popular senior games several years ago. The first games were highly successful prompting the City to make the games an annual event for City and area residents, and visitors. Last year’s games included several international entries.

Encouraged by the success, the City added new games to this year’s competition schedule, swimming, softball, bridge and Mahjong. Also, the City dropped the entry age limit from 55 to American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) threshold of 50 years old.

MARINA GRAND OPENING Mayor Joy Cooper, City Commissioners will host ceremonies for the new $1.2-million City Marina, Feb. 22 Hallandale Beach Mayor Joy Cooper and City Commissioners will host grand opening ceremonies for the new $1.2-million City Marina, 101 Three Islands Boulevard, 3 p.m., Friday, Feb. 22, 2013. The marina is the southern most public dockage complex in Broward County.

The City Marina was built with City funds and grants from the Florida Inland Navigational District, Broward Boating Program and Clean Vessel Act. Broward County, State of Florida and federal officials have been invited to participate and review the facility built with their financial support. The state-of-the-art marina includes 30 slips; 26 for annual lease; three for daily rental; and one for the Hallandale Beach Police Department marine unit. The marina can accommodate vessels from 20 feet to 60 feet. A secure facility, Hallandale Beach City Marina can only be accessed with an assigned personal security code.

“We realized there was a need, and this was an opportunity to serve the residents,” Mayor Joy Cooper said of City Marina. “This area is perfect for a marina.”

The complex is located on the south shores of the DeSoto Waterway, just west of the Three Islands Bridge. Minutes from the Intracoastal Waterway, City Marina is midway between two Atlantic Ocean inlets, Port Everglades is 5.6 miles to the north, Haulover Inlet is 5.5 miles to the south.

During the grand opening ceremony, there will be no charge for boaters who dock at City Marina to participate in the event or inspect the complex and pump-out facilities. There is a charged to use the pump-out facility.

Shoreline Foundation, Inc., of Pembroke Park was the general contractor for the marina construction. Tenex Enterprises Inc., of Pompano Beach, was the contractor to construct the parking lot, rest rooms and security fence.

Boat owners seeking leasing information should visit the Parks and Recreation Department home page on the Hallandale Beach website, www.cohb.org, or call 954-457-1653.

rate the City needs and evaluate your suggestions before presenting the formal budget to the Mayor and City Commission this summer.

The Mayor and City Commission will hold two public hearings on the budget in late August or early September. The budget must be approved before October 1.

All quadrant meetings and city-wide meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. The schedule includes: • Southeast Quadrant, tonight, Thursday, Feb. 21, at the Cultural Community Center, 410 SE 3rd Street; • Northwest Quadrant, Thursday, Feb. 28, at Foster Park, 609 NW 6th Avenue; • Southwest Quadrant, Thursday, March 7, at Ingalls Park, 735 SW 1st Street; • Northeast Quadrant, Thursday, March 21, at the Cultural Community Center, 410 SE 3rd Street; and • City-wide meeting, Thursday, May 23, in

the City Commission Chambers, City Hall, 400 S. Federal Highway.

Public comments are essential to the development of the budget; your input does make a difference. Among the suggestions from last

year’s quadrant meetings was a request to improve median maintenance. This year, the City will contract with a private company to maintain the medians along Hallandale Beach Boulevard, Federal Highway and A-1-A.

The magnetic field turns on activating ions and charged particles bringing in nutrients influencing things like blood cell supply opening up blood cells.

You don’t just feel better

AVOID JOINT REPLACEMENT SURGERY WITH THE MAP PEMF THERAPY RECOMMENDED BY DR. OZ

Chronic pain is debilitating, and quickly erodes quality of life. Now, a new medical technology allows many patients suffering from back or joint pain to avoid surgery and return to the activities and lifestyles they enjoyed previously.

Map PEMF Therapy is a painless noninvasive method of delivering a pioneering new branch of an invisible treatment that provides a revolutionary cure you were waiting for.

A rapid acceleration which recovers and restores a pain-free lifestyle.

The treatment works on all joint problems, tears, sprains, fractures and repetitive injuries such as carpel tunnel, arthritis, and osteoarthritis. What’s truly amazing about MAP PEMF Therapy is that it actually regrows cartilage as well as increases bone density. It has been used by thousands of people, including many professional athletes.

MAP PEMF Therapy can help patients avoid hip and knee replacements and provide rapid alternative recovery methods. It is now available at the Joint and Muscle Treatement Center in Hallandale

Beach.

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

you are better.

The cost is far less than surgery, and patients avoid the long recovery times and possible side effects associated with surgery.

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

Treatment helps patients avoid hip and knee replacements and provide rapid alternative recovery methods at the Joint and Muscle Treatment Center in Hallandale Beach.

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.

INTRODUCING THE JOINT AND MUSCLE TREATMENT CENTER AVOID SURGERY AND END PAIN If you have been told you need surgery or have chronic pain, we can help! Read below – to learn about a new, noninvasive neurological soft tissue medicine treatment used by professional athletes, that is now available to the general public.

CALL TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR FEBRUARY SPECIAL DISCOUNT. FIRST VISIT AND CONSULTATION IS FREE!

Avoid Pain and Joint Replacement Surgery With Revolutionary Pro Biofeedback MicroCurrent Treatment - No Drugs, No Surgery, No Pain Patient Benefits: • Greatly Speed the healing process • Reduce or eradicate Chronic and Acute Pain • Chronic and Acute Low Back, Hip, Knee and Neck Pain or deficiencies • Avoid Joint Replacement Surgery • Orthopedic Injuries • Fibromyalgia • Myofascial Pain • Tendon and Ligament repair • Reduces swelling and inflammation • Releases muscle trigger points • Improves soft tissue regeneration Electro Muscle Stimulation changes muscle tissue, softens or eradicates scar tissue, and increases circulation with the effect of removing long stored waste products and increasing cellular metabolism.

The Pro Biofeedback MicroCurrent Technology uses micro impulses, which induce neuropeptides secretion by primarily C nerve fibers that have profound and wideranging effects, triggering complex regulative chains and cascades.

Multiple biochemical pathways utilizing many types of neuro-mediators, hormones, and cytokines are involved. Although peptide half-life in body fluids is relatively short, other mediators in the cascades survive for many hours. Some regulatory peptides act on genomic activity to alter gene expression and change biochemical synthesis. Our device’s electrical signals can reprogram tissues locked into chronic vegetative and dysfunctional states by inducing bolus synthesis of regulatory peptides (RP).

On a neurological level, widely dispersed un-meylienated C-fibers compromising 85 percent of all nerve fibers are effected locally by the Pro Biofeedback MicroCurrent Technology signal. C-fibers are responsible for slow diffuse pain signaling and are also neuro-secretory. Neuropeptides (NPs) are secreted into the surrounding tissue milieu by their exocytosis through vesicle membrane fusion with the cell membrane similar to neuro-transmitter secretion.

The Pro Biofeedback MicroCurrent Technology impulses also are relayed through afferent neural pathways to the CNS and give rise to various 1) Segmental spinal reflexes by efferent signals sent from the cord to organs associated with that segment or back to the local tissue receiving the impulse.

2) Systemic reactions such as endorphin induction by efferent signals descending from the cortical and subcortical areas of the brain i.e. pain reduction.

The Pro Biofeedback MicroCurrent Technology impulses have a direct effect on blood perfusion. Clinically observable and well-defined increases in tissue perfusion at the treated areas are due to neuropeptide-induced vasodilatation, particularly Substance P. A combination of device-induced axon reflexes also releases other vaso-active substances such as kinins, prostaglandins, cytokines, and nitric oxide. The end result is that blood flow to a treated area is significantly increased. Other neuropeptides and endocrine secretions released by device’s impulses mediate inflammation. Complement fixation and tissue injuries due to immune aggression are suppressed, and cellular immunity is enhanced by macrophage proliferation, activation, chemotaxis, and clearance of extracellular debris.

The Pro Biofeedback MicroCurrent Technology has redefined existing technology with novel waveforms, unique circuitry, and clean signaling. Signaling is focused and intensified for narrow applications or is expanded with unique signaling combinations and frequency ranges for increased therapeutic flexibility. Compared with the earlier Russian electro-stimulation devices, The Pro Biofeedback MicroCurrent Technology generates clean and more precisely defined wave forms and possesses both newer (patent pending) settings that expand clinical versatility and vastly improved operational reliability.

The Pro Bio-feedback technology is proven to be convenient, safe, and effective and has been cleared by the FDA and other governing bodies for pain relief.

Why going gluten-free doesn't mean going grain-free

(BPT) - It's impossible to stroll the aisles in your local supermarket without seeing package after package labeled "glutenfree." But who really needs a gluten-free diet, and how can you still enjoy grains, even if you

are eating gluten-free?

Gluten is a protein found in just four grains: wheat, barley, rye and triticale, a wheat-rye hybrid. For people with celiac disease (an estimated 1 percent of the population) eating foods

Are You in Love, or in Need?

With close to 50% of all marriages ending in divorce, it certainly appears our culture has a problem sustaining relationships.

Many people base their relationships on dysfunctional motives, and I usually find it helpful to examine relationships from the perspective of what I call the “Great Relationship Triad” of Want, Need, and Love.

What we “want” in choosing our partners is simple to understand. Wanting consists of the physical and personality characteristics we would prefer to see in a significant other. For example; tall, petite, athletic, blonde, brunette, wealthy, artistic, serious, humorous, ect., are some examples of our wants. Different people want different things. Our wants are not to be discounted, they are important considerations, but “want” is not exactly love, and many people find themselves falling in love with the exact opposite of what they had thought they had wanted.

“Need” on the other hand, can be quite a dysfunctional ingredient when assessing a relationship, especially when the essence of the relationship is based upon it…. Please don’t get me wrong, unless seriously schizoid, we are all in need of others to feel complete, and the diagnosis of co-dependency has too often become simplistic catch-all phrase for every relationship problem.

But many couples do enter relationships with excessive & unhealthy neediness, and often exit the same way. For example consider this common scenario. A woman marries a man who is alcoholic, dispassionate, and unproductive. As a child, this woman was raised by an alcoholic father who never gave her the unconditional love, praise & tenderness any child deserves. Attempting to obtain the validation she never received from her male parent, she becomes drawn to alcoholic men, with an inappropriate need to care for them & gain their approval. (This is a very common scenario folks). A perfect set-up. The alcoholic needs a caretaker, & she needs to care-take. So what do you think might happen one day if her husband decides to make some meaningful change, sobers up, and gets well?.. I think you get the idea. Often a relationship like this will fall apart as the “binding need” no longer exists...So what about Love?

Love is about as hard to define as the universe itself, and I make no pretense to be the one person who can adequately do so! But I’m pretty sure of a couple of things. It is an attraction based upon respect, and altruism. It is unconditional…A desire to see the person you love prosper and thrive, even without expecting anything in return.

Throw in a dash of chemistry, and spirituality and I think one approaches its essence. Wishing you less neediness and more Love…..

containing gluten can cause an immune reaction in the small intestine that leads to a host of health problems, from abdominal pain to vitamin deficiencies that can affect the brain, bones, liver and other organs.

Some people who don't have celiac disease still suffer from gluten-sensitivity or allergies to wheat, and can benefit from a gluten-free diet.

No matter the reason behind going glutenfree, for those making the switch it might seem like the end of eating grains. However, that shouldn't to be the case.

While cutting out glutencontaining grains is important for those who are gluten-intolerant, there's an array of other whole grains - naturally gluten-free - that can make your diet as varied, delicious and nutritious as you like.

If you're building a gluten-free menu, it's important to include whole grains, which provide many essential nutrients. Try some of these options in your meals, from breakfast to dinner, to get a taste of the flavors and textures that whole, gluten-free grains have to offer: * Amaranth - Popped like corn or added to soups or a pilaf, this heart-healthy grain adds great taste and texture. * Buckwheat Whether used whole or ground as flour, buckwheat provides a rich, nutty flavor. * Corn - A classic American staple that is as versatile as it is easy to find. * Millet - Let it stand alone as a side or bake it into crunchy crackers; millet's mild flavor ensures that it plays well with other ingredients. * Oats - Oats themselves are gluten-free, but they're often processed in places where gluten products are also made. Make sure your oats are certified as free from crosscontamination. * Quinoa - This nutrient-rich grain has been a staple in the Andes Mountains for centuries, and it's gaining in popularity for its versatility and subtle flavor. * Brown and colored rice - Rice itself, or products made from it, like noodles, can be used to prepare delicious dishes from

around the globe. * Sorghum - Flour made from this nutrientpacked grain can be used to make everything from pie crust to pancakes. It can also be popped - it's a fun treat that looks like mini-popcorn. * Teff - Tiny teff grains (3,000 grains weigh just one ounce) make a flavorful flour that can be used for crepes, breads or injera, the spongy flatbread that is a dietary staple in the grain's native country of Ethiopia. * Wild rice - Hearty, nutty and utterly delicious, wild rice is a welcome addition on any plate. Use it as stuffing, in a salad or simply on its own.

Because all of these whole grains have their own nutrient profiles, mixing them up is a great way to make your diet healthier - the more different grains you eat, the more nutritional variety you'll get. Recipes for each kind of glutenfree grain can be found at www.wholegrainscouncil.org. To get started, try this delicious dish, Southwestern Quinoa Salad, which pairs both quinoa and corn with flavorful, fresh ingredients that everyone will love.

SOUTHWESTERN QUINOA SALAD 1 cup quinoa 2 cups vegetable broth 2 ears corn, roasted and cut off cob 1 red bell pepper, roasted and chopped 1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained 3 scallions

1/2 cup chopped cilantro 3 limes, juiced 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 -teaspoon cumin 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 -teaspoon fresh ground black pepper 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper Put quinoa and broth in a medium saucepan.

Bring to a boil, cover

and simmer for 15 minutes or until tender.

In a large bowl, mix together quinoa, corn, pepper, beans, scallions and cilantro.

In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil and seasonings. Pour over quinoa mixture.Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes to let flavors set.

Five home improvements for the love of spring (BPT) - Improved value, curb appeal and livability are the benchmarks for any smart home improvement.

But some upgrades you do for the sheer joy of it. The best home improvements deliver all those smart qualities and speak to your heart at the same time.

With spring home improvement season approaching, here are five home improvements that you can do for the love of spring - and the love of your biggest investment:

of resale, according to the Cost vs. Value Report. While replacing countertops and fixtures are common remodeling tasks in a bathroom, don't overlook the biggest surface in the room - the floor.

Many modern builders install vinyl floors in bathrooms because they are durable and cheap. Switching out this common material for stone or ceramic tile is a great way to brighten the room and give your bath a whole new look.

ADD/REPLACE A SKYLIGHT Abundant natural light and fresh air are among the joys of spring, and replacing an old, energy-inefficient skylight, or adding one where none existed before, is a great way to welcome sunlight and spring breezes into your home. Sunlight's positive effect on mood is well-documented, and adding a venting skylight, which comes with a screen, offers other health benefits as well.

Opt for an energy saving solar powered fresh-air skylight and you can enjoy the benefits of passive ventilation to reduce humidity and stale air in your home along with more natural light.

From a practical standpoint, installing an

IMPROVE YOUR ENTRYWAY Your front door and entryway are the first impression visitors have of your home's decor. A welcoming entry invites guests in and gives you a mood boost every time you walk through it.

This year, celebrate spring by replacing an old worn wooden door with a sturdy, decorative steel door - an improvement that recoups nearly 85 percent of its cost when you sell, according to Remodeling Magazine. To really celebrate spring, add a screen door. You'll be able to let in fresh air and spring breezes while keeping insects out. Plus, a screen door is essential Americana, creating a welcoming openness that epitomizes the joy of spring.

Energy Star-qualified skylight like those made by VELUX America can help you control heating, cooling and lighting costs in your home. Replacing an older, less efficient skylight with a new leading-edge No Leak skylight, with a rain sensor, can also ensure your home stays protected from spring showers. You can also choose solar powered blinds for even more energy efficiency, and both are eligible for a 30 percent federal tax credit. To learn more about energy-efficient skylights, visit www.veluxusa.com or energystar.gov.

ADD/IMPROVE A DECK The trend toward outdoor living spaces continues, with decks being one of the most sought-after amenities among home buyers. In fact, adding a wooden deck can recoup more than 77 percent of the deck's cost when you sell your home, according to Remodeling Magazine's Cost vs.

Value Report.

If you don't already have a deck, adding one - whether wood or composite - not only enhances your home value, it will be a great place to celebrate the arrival of spring. If you

already have a deck, consider value-enhancing upgrades like new balusters, lighted post caps, built-in seating and even planters.

INSTALL A KITCHEN BACKSPLASH Spring brings a bright, colorful feel to the world and you can easily incorporate that sentiment into your kitchen by adding a backsplash. A project easily within the capabilities of most do-ityourselfers, backsplashes are both functional and decorative. Granite, ceramic or glass tile protects the wall behind the range or cook top from splat-

ters of food or grease while brightening valuable workspace and serving as a visual focal point for the room.

Great kitchens sell homes, and the room is one of the most-used in any home. Upgrading your kitchen is almost always a good investment, one that improves resale value and your enjoyment of your home.

UPGRADE BATHROOM FLOORS Bathroom renovations are also popular and a minor bathroom remodel can return more than 65 percent of the cost at the time

AzAleA GArdens

Discover a hidden gem in Hollywood that offers

seniors a wonderful lifestyle, peace of mind, and compassionate care; all within a serene, tropical environment. Since fresh air and outdoor living can have a beneficial effect on residents and their health, Azalea Gardens, a Timeless Life Care community, was designed and is meticulously maintained to produce an atmosphere that is an oasis for the senses.

The gorgeous botanical garden is a sight to behold, with rainbow-hued colors and lovely fragrances that fill the air. A walking path winds through a lush landscape with a variety of fruit trees, inviting a peaceful stroll. Magnificently spacious gazebos with benches offer shade and comfort, as an overhead fan creates a refreshing breeze. Residents and visitors can enjoy the serenity of a duck pond, as well as the beautiful Japanese koi displaying amazing shades of gold, orange and black as they gently swim through the pristine waters. Nearby fountains, featuring gently trickling water, create a soothing ambiance, as a myriad of butterflies adds to the beautiful atmosphere.

The earth-friendly environment extends to the residences, which creates a lovely sense of flow connecting each suite to the stunning gardens. Just outside their doors, residents, their friends and family can take in views of the extraordinary surroundings from their own porches. Fully furnished rooms are available or individuals may personalize their space with their own possessions.

As Director of Community Relations Chris Snider explains, “The goal of Azalea Gardens is to provide Timeless Life Care in an aging-in-place facility. We are dedicated to promoting the well-being of each resident and helping them to maintain their inde

pendence in a safe, secure environment.”

Providing a pleasurable dining experience is an important part of that commitment. Deliciously fresh ingredients are used in preparing the meals, with the menu carefully crafted by a licensed dietician. To ensure that residents’ individual dietary needs are satisfied, personalized meal plans are easily accommodated.

Since a key objective of Azalea Gardens is to empower its residents, a comprehensive personal enrichment program is offered, as are opportunities to form meaningful social connections. Regularly scheduled events, activities and outings include daily exercise in the gazebo, aromatherapy, barbecues every Saturday with family and friends, live music, and other excursions. A shuttle bus takes adventures to local attractions such as Lion Country Safari, the movies and the beach for lunch.

Maintaining communication between residents and their family members can provide greater peace of mind. By logging on to a private, secured website, out-of-town and local family members can access cameras positioned around the property so they may discover what their loved ones are doing each day. Onsite, a state-of-the-art computer and video camera allows residents the ability to connect with family and friends through Skype sessions.

At Azalea Gardens, you will find excellent quality of care, a rich social environment, and a compassionate, caring staff, all in a beautifully serene community.
