Opening one month early makes a huge economic difference!

After a long summer that saw many local businesses hang on by a thread, good news is always welcome, and this good news signals that the

"season" will start at least a month earlier this year.

When Gulfstream Park Racing & Casino was awarded an extra month of racing last

year, it may not have meant much to some.

But for those businesses who have suffered through those long summer months that actually began in

Dawson, Marlins hand out smiles!

GULFSTREAM PARK OPENS SATURDAY

Larry Blustein

It was a Hall of Fame Thanksgiving for Hallandale Beach residents last Wednesday as the Miami Marlins and Miamian Andre Dawson came to town, handing out holiday meals to 1,000 people who would never had the opportunity to have a turkey dinner with all the trimmings cooked in their homes. Former Vice Mayor Bill Julian, right, and Joe Kessel of the Kiwanis Club, right, also did heir part along with Dawson.

May of this past year, the opening of Gulfstream's live racing season this Saturday is starting to bring smiles on faces from Miami to Palm Beach County.

South Floridaʼs pre-

mier thoroughbred racetrack, home of the foremost Triple Crown prep races including the $1,000,000 Florida Derby, will open its doors this Saturday. The nationʼs finest 3-year old thoroughbreds, jock-

eys and trainers spend their winter at Gulfstream Park, and this season will run thru April 8, 2012, which is news that everyone wants to hear.

PATIENT TESTIMONIALS "After searching for a caring, compassionate, conscientious, and competent dentist I finally found Elite Dental Center. Not only has Dr. Ivan Pelton 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. Pelton 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. Pelton there would be no dental phobia in America an appreciably less visits to the dentist," says Hugh B. "Dr. Pelton 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. Pelton 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.Pelton cares about patients and dentistry," says Patricia D.

TIPS AND TRICKS: Use baking soda toothpaste. Sounds simple and it is. Baking soda in a concentration of 55% or greater will kill oral bacteria. Brushing with it or buying toothpaste with baking soda will decrease gum bleeding and tartar deposits. Fluoride, on the other hand, is beneficial to the teeth by strengthening them and making them resistant to decay. We recommend GelKam (no prescrition needed) for an excellent product that has much more fluoride than regular toothpaste. Stronger products are available by prescription.

Got canker sores, use Cankermelts. You can purchase Cankermelts from Amazon.com. Cankermelts are made from licorice root and does not require a prescription to purchase.

Got cold sores, use Vyroxin. It is effective for herpes virus lesions on the lips and can be purchased on Amazon.com. No prescription necessary.

Toothpicks used daily between teeth have been shown to be as effective as floss. Research shows no statistical difference between people who

Hallandale Beach, Hepburn Center step up to make holiday festive

‘AROUND THE CITY OF CHOICE’

HALANDALE BEACH - This past Thursday volunteers from around the community pitched in and served hot meals at our annual Thanksgiving Day Luncheon.

This tradition has been going on for many years at The Hepburn Center.

Director Miriam Collie and her staff make the preparations for the day, but the event would not be complete if it was not for many volunteers that help set up, serve and deliver hot meals. The past couple of years my husband Dr. Harry Cooper has supervised what I call the frontline troops; aka the kitchen alongside Miriam and the other Joy. This too has become tradition.

This year there were well over 25 volunteers that dished out the food and served over 150 hot meals to the many seniors. In addition to a hot Thanksgiving meal there was entertainment for all that attended by the young students from Lowell Lampkins Creative Arts School located on South Dixie here in Hallandale Beach. Mr. Lampkin is a former teacher and continues providing wonderful educational opportunities from singing, dancing and other creative arts to all ages.

In addition to serving lunch there were over 150 meals delivered to homebound seniors.

This effort is coordinated through the Hallandale Beach Police Depart-

ment and many young Police Explorers. The number of hot meals delivered this year unfortunately has increased.

While statistics show the average age in our community is 47 we still have many seniors who are in need of assistance. Hallandale Beach has continued to support our Human Services Department. In these economic struggling times, it is one place where Hallandale Beach residents have an opportunity to receive legal aid, consultation with social workers and most importantly, emergency assistance. For more information you can contact 954-457-1460.

As the holidays approach, please remember the less fortunate in our community. The city has set up collection bins at City Hall. Please think about dropping off nonperishable items that can be utilized by the Hepburn Center Food Pantry or the Hallandale Food Pantry. Also please remember we

will be celebrating a holiday kick off tomorrow, Friday, December 2 at Gulfstream Parkʼs North West parking lot. from 69 pm. There will be games, entertainment, rides and of course, a visit from Santa Claus.

The event is free except for the rides. Wrist bands will be on sale for $3 dollars.

The past couple weeks have been very busy for our City Commission. In addition to our regular City Commission meetings, we conducted a special visioning session for the City Commission. This meeting was facilitated

by Michael Levinson the afternoon of November 16th. This meeting was critical to review many components of our business model, resident and business survey's to incorporate them into strategic priorities for the budget.

January will be the kick off for the 2012-2013 budget. This year the city has decided to change the format from the previous years by adding three additional key steps that will be part of our process. The City Commission will receive monthly reports from the City Manager on budget activities.

When establishing this new schedule the Commission had not defined what the content would include since the budget is more of an ongoing process over the first 3 to 4 months.

Last year in January the City Commission redefined the existing mission statement; The City of Hallandale Beach is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in our community in a fiscally responsible manner by providing superior services that meet the needs of our community as well as plan for their future needs through continued communication.

Our mission truly has remained focused and this language was not changed. Last year I requested that we add “fiscally responsible manner”. We also established four strategic priorities; livable community, excellence in Government, environmental sustainability and economic development.

During the course of last year we conducted a survey of a cross-section of our residents that represents a 95 percent plus or minus 3 percent accuracy test of how our services are delivered, how our city is maintained, level of satisfaction with various services the city provides. Mr. Levinson had an opportunity to evaluate the survey responses and how they tied into our strategic priorities. In general Mr. Levinson was quite impressed with our citizensʼ responses considering the economic times we are going through and that this was our first formal survey and many years.

City Commission discussed at length each strategic priority and what performance measures would apply to each category. It should be noted our city departments currently establish performance measures depending on the service they provide.

Not all departments, however, have focused on how the departmental strategic priorities match up with the Commission strategic priorities and most importantly, our resident input.

The basic model incorporates citizen input that is evaluated by Staff and the Commission. This data analysis is then incorporated into our strategic business plan.

At this meeting the City Commission agreed to a strategic plan that will be incorporated into the City Manager's business plan. This plan will be created through coordination with department directors who will report to the City Manager how they will be implementing their goals and performance measures. At the first meeting in January the City Manager will report back to the Commission on the progress of what has been presented and if it is in line with the strategic plan established during the November 16th meeting.

In addition to this new Commission reporting format, we still will continue to have the quadrant meetings where all

residents will have an opportunity to provide their input directly on the levels of services and programs the city provides. Residents will be able to share neighborhood concerns and programs they would like to see occur in the upcoming budget year. There will be a final general public summarizing all the quadrant meetings and progress to date on the budget sometime in April. The City Commission will then be receiving the budget before June.

Please sign up on the city website to receive all formal notifications of these meetings at www.HallandaleBeachFL.gov . Many of the meeting dates have been established, but in the event they are changed, it is imperative to participate in “notify me” for the most current times, dates and places of all meetings.

Today marks 20 more days before Hanukkah and 24 days before Christmas. Remember to try to and shop local during this holiday season to support local jobs and our economy.

As always, please feel free to contact me at anytime with your questions and concerns at my office 954-457-1318 or cell/text 954-6325700 or e-mail me at www.MayorJoyCooper.com.

AVENTURA HEAR CENTER ‘NEW wireless aids make watching TV a pleasure again!’

Hear

BENITEZ WAS STARKEY LAB'S FITTING SPECIALIST Before coming to the Aventura HEAR Center, Bob was, for 13 years, with Starkey Laboratories, the premier manufacturer of hearing technology in the United States. He is a Harvard graduate, a licensed Hearing Aid Specialist in the State of Florida, and nationally Board Certified in Hearing Instrument Sciences. At Starkey, he was a fitting specialist. "I was the one to whom people like myself (a hearing professional) would send their patients when they couldn't figure

out a way to make those patients happy with their hearing instruments." This experience made Bob an expert with hearing aid fittings. “The new digital instruments are complex and require expertise if they are to be properly tuned for a patientʼs individual needs,” Bob said.

IT IS POSSIBLE YOU SUFFER SOME HEARING LOSS If the tests show conclusively that you suffer permanent hearing loss …

Benitez said, " One out of three Americans over age 65 has a hearing problem and half of adults over 75 have one. Everyone over 65 years old should be getting their hearing checked regularly. Hearing problems, like having difficulty understanding what people say, can get worse if not treated. That is why itʼs important to get your hearing checked.

Once you know you have a problem, you can take steps to deal with it. Just as your primary care physician does not routinely check your eyesight, she or he will not be checking your hearing. In both cases physicians normally assume you are seeing a specialist for care in these areas.

The sad part is that while most seniors take good care of their eyes, very few actually have yearly hearing tests. There is no reason for it! You do not need a referral to have a hearing evaluation—just call the Aventura HEAR Center and ask for an appointment!” Improved hearing leads to an improved quality of life. Many people who have a hearing loss become more and more isolated because they cannot enjoy conversations in social situations, but hearing help is now available that really works.

THE NEWEST TECHNOLOGY Hearing aids have become very sophisticated and there are many, many choices.

"What we are doing here, is offering the best hearing care anywhere, so you won't wait long to see me and you will be treated professionally and courteously."

JAVIER ‘BOB’ BENITEZ HEARING AID SPECIALIST

How is a patient to decide which hearing aid to wear? “It starts with a hearing professional you can trust,” Benitez said. “It is a good thing to do research and find out what you can about hearing loss and how hearing aids can help, but when it comes to choosing a hearing aid, you need to follow the advice of a professional.” Many patients think because their friend or a family member did well with a particular hearing aid that they will also do well. “Thatʼs not always the case. Certain types of hearing instruments are designed for particular configurations of hearing loss, and your friend or relative may have a high frequency loss and do well with those aids, but you have a low frequency loss and the aid is completely inadequate for you. As a hearing professional, I am responsible for evaluating your loss and recommending the appropriate hearing aid for your loss, lifestyle, and budget.”

“Lifestyle is important,” he adds, “because a person who is not active or who has a very limited social life due to health issues simply does not need some of the advanced features available on the more sophisticated instruments.” Some hearing aids offer features designed specifically for very active social lives, and that is not what everyone needs.

On the other hand, most patients would benefit from a hearing aid that does not whistle all the time, or an aid that makes noisy rooms more comfortable, or one that allows for telephone use without

Snow advisory for NMB on Dec. 10

NORTH MIAMI BEACH - Take out your hats, jackets and mittens because a snow advisory has been declared for Saturday, December 10, 2011 when the City of North Miami Beachʼs Leisure Services Department hosts their annual Holiday SNOW FEST event from 6 to 11 p.m. at the Gwen Margolis Amphitheater, 16501 N.E. 16th Avenue.

Bring the entire family to enjoy a snow mountain, rock climbing wall, giant slide, bounce houses, carnival games and arts and crafts.

Take a ride on the giant slide or listen to the sounds of great music by a live DJ who will entertain the crowd throughout the evening with interactive activities, raffles and prizes.

There will be photo opportunities with Santa, Mrs. Claus, and Frosty the Snowman throughout the event. Another special guest from the North Pole includes the Grinch, who will be prowling around looking to steal away some holiday cheer!

Food & refreshments will be on sale throughout the evening.

Admission is only $ 5 per person. For more information call the Leisure Services Department at (305) 948-2957.

for two or three months and are then replaced with new ones, or the new SoundLense from Starkey that also disappear into the ear canal but use regular batteries and last several years before they need to be replaced.

They have been very well received by the public and are the most cost-effective ʻinvisibleʼ solution.”

Finally, what of the many people who have just a little bit of a hearing problem but want to hear better without spending a lot of money? “Well,” Benitez smiles, “weʼve got just the thing for them. Itʼs called the AMP and it is a personal amplifier that is small and discreet, appropriate for mild losses, and costs only $750 per side. It is the best way to begin to experience better hearing sooner rather than later when hearing aids may not help as much.” It sounds like there is a way to help anyone who wants to hear better.

“Exactly, we have solutions for every type of loss and every budget!” So, what are you waiting for? An invitation?

having to push a button. Benitez said, “many of the old problems that people had with hearing aids which prevented them from wearing them have been overcome by advances in technology, so even if you have tried hearing aids in the past and did not liked them, there are good reasons to take a second listen.”

And what about all those different hearing aid companies, which one makes the best hearing aids? “They all do,” Benitez adds with a chuckle, “itʼs not the company, itʼs the professional fitting you that is crucial.”

There are several big hearing aid companies worldwide, and they all make very good products, they are all priced very competitively, and the Aventura HEAR Center has relationships with all of them. “It used to be one company was better at one type of aid and another at a different type. With the advent of digital aids, that has all changed. My experience working for the manufacturer gives me a certain edge—I have a level of training and pro-

R O B A R

From Page 1A –––––––––––––––––––– If you call in the morning, you can usually get an appointment the same day, and if you just want to drop by while you are in the area, Ellen will do her best to get you right in.

"What we are doing here," Bob said, "is offering the best hearing care anywhere, so you won't wait long to see me and you will be treated professionally and courteously."

The hearing evaluation takes 15 to 20 minutes and there is no charge.

"The first thing I do is to check the ears with our advanced equipment." A videootoscope is used, a non-invasive device that transmits images of the ear canal and eardrum onto a monitor's high definition plasma screen. "I look in there and make sure there is not a lot of wax in the ear.

Wax can cause a mild hearing loss, and sometimes removing the wax eliminates the problem! If there is no excessive wax, we go to the test room and I do an audiometric evaluation to see if there are some tones the patient cannot hear well."

The natural aging process and noise can cause a hearing loss, natural aging being the most common reason for hearing problems.

Stereos, I-pods, boom boxes, traffic, and a noisy work environment all contribute to the cause. "It's the prolonged exposure to noise that does it," he said.

WI SERIES WIRELESS HEARING AIDS MAKE TV VIEWING A PLEASURE “Many patients complain that they cannot hear TV well. They have to turn up the volume and their spouses (or neighbors) complain that it is too loud. New wireless technology allows effortless TV viewing by turning the hearing aids into personal headsets—itʼs like wearing earphones!

The hearing aids are nearly invisible and very comfortable to wear.”

What about people who want hearing aids that are more than “nearly” invisible?

Benitez says, “We have two options for the patient who wants completely invisible hearing aids: the extended-wear devices that stay in the ears

SPOTLIGHT ON HOLLYWOOD

Hollywood redrawing district boundaries based on new census data

By Pat Cerny, City Clerk HOLLYWOOD Based upon the 2010 Census the population of the City of Hollywood has increased by 1% or 1,411 residents since the 2000 Census.

Thatʼs a pretty small change, but the City of Hollywood Charter requires that the district boundaries for each Commission District “be set by ordinance and updated after each decennial census or as otherwise required by law”.

Florida Atlantic University (FAU) was hired to perform a demographic district analysis based upon the change in population from the census.

When the analysis shows a 10% total deviation in each district, a redistricting process has to be done to redraw the

district boundaries.

FAU's analysis shows District 2 has the highest population that deviated 4.83% above the district population average and that District 3 has the lowest population that deviated 7.73% below the district population average. By adding these two percentages together there was a total of 12.56% deviation from the district population average.

This analysis means the City will be redrawing District 2 and 3 boundaries while keeping neighborhoods together, which could go beyond Districts 2 and 3. Some criteria for determining the redrawing of the boundaries: The two districts must have approximately the same number of people counted by the census.

There should be no

more than 10% overall deviation from the ideal district size.

Districts must be composed of contiguous territory.

Districts should attempt to preserve integrity of community of interest, including neighborhood associations or ethnic or religious enclaves.

Minimize the degree of change in pre-existing patterns of districts, to promote continuity of citizen identification with a district.

Avoid placing any two incumbents in a single district.

For more information about the redistricting, please visit the City’s website at www.hollywoodfl.org and go to the City Clerk’s page.

"The advantage of having Gulfstream open earlier, before the holidays, gives many of the shops and restaurants a chance of recovering some of that lost money from a slow summer," said Hollywood resident and business owner Kim London. "Not only will we have more visitors from outside the state and country here, but this is a great way to expose the facility at Gulfstream and surrounding areas."

While many have long questioned why facilities such as Calder dominate the yearly racing schedule with more dates, those in the know believe that with the extra month this year, opening before Christmas and Hanukkah, actually makes up for not having live racing the rest of the year.

The Village at Gulfstream Park was a major investment that many still continue to talk negatively about.

Most contend that in this economy, it's extremely tough for those businesses to make it year round, which is something that makes sense.

But if you've read my columns, I am one of those who strongly believe that sitting on your hands accomplishes nothing, so this gives those struggling restaurants and shops a huge pre-holiday shot in the arm. One that will be needed.

To those who have braved the past two years, this is truly a reward that will send potential customers to the facility for all that is going on - in addition to the live racing, which is huge!

OPENING WEEKEND Gulfstream Parkʼs opening day feature, the $100,000 Spectacular Bid for 2-year-olds at six furlongs, drew 31 nominations, including Nashua Stakes (G2) winner Vexor, Jack Price Juvenile winner For Oby, and Keeneland 75th Anniversary winner Luke of York.

Fans will also be able to see the new picnic area, six new Daktronics LED boards throughout the facility, and partake in the delicious new menu at Ten Palms Restaurant and the concessions stands of executive chef and television

star Ralph Pagano.

Anyone buying a seat in Ten Palms, Silks or the grandstand opening day will receive a commemorative Gulfstream Park polo jersey.

The 32nd running of the Spectacular Bid drew several interesting nominations including Vexor. A chestnut colt by Wildcat Heir, Vexor broke his maiden at Saratoga Aug. 10. After finishing eighth in the Hopeful (G1), the John Kimmel-trained colt won the Nashua at Belmont Oct. 2 before finishing ninth in the Breedersʼ Cup Juvenile Sprint Nov. 4 at Churchill Downs.

For Oby, a Calderbased son of With Distinction trained by Pedro Maestre, won the $125,000 Jack Price Juvenile Nov. 12 at Calder.

Earlier in the summer he finished third in the Florida Stallion Stakesʼ Dr. Fager. Luke of York, trained by James DeVito, broke his maiden at Arlington Park in September before winning the $125,000 Keeneland 75th Anniversary Stakes Oct. 15.

Gulfstreamʼs Sunday, Dec. 4 program will feature the sixth running of the $60,000 Sunshine State over seven furlongs. Thirty-three horses were nominated, including Manicero, a multiple-stakes winner on turf and dirt, sprinting and routing. Trained by Leo Azpurua Jr., Manicero has won eight of

13 starts and comes into the Sunshine State off a second-place finish Nov. 12 in the $150,000 Carl Rose Classic at Calder.

GIVEAWAY DAYS Gulfstream Park Racing & Casino announced 16 giveaway days during its 2011-2012 racing season.

In the first of four commemorative shirt giveaways throughout the season, all fans who purchase a seat opening day in Ten Palms, Silks or the grandstand will receive a free Gulfstream Park polo shirt.

The shirt giveaway will be repeated for those purchasing seats on Saturday, Jan. 28 (Florida Sunshine Millions); Saturday, Feb. 11 (Donn Handicap); and Saturday, Mar. 31 (Florida Derby).

In addition to the quartet of polo short giveaway days, Gulfstream Park will also feature a dozen other giveaways.

On Sunday, Dec. 4, Gulfstream Parkʼs popular calendars will be distributed to the first 5,000 fans in attendance with no purchase necessary.

Calendars will be handed out at the north and south track entrances.

All other Gulfstream Park giveaways will require the purchase of a small or large live program. A coupon located inside the program will –––––––––––––––––––––– BLUSTEIN, Page 9A

SUPER HI 5 - 15% TAKEOUT Gulfstream Park will include the introduction of the $1 Super Hi 5 and the return of the popular 10-cent Rainbow 6.

The Super Hi 5 will be a $1 wager. Fans will have to pick the first five finishers in the last race each day. If no one selects the first five finishers in the correct order, 75 percent of the wagering pool will be carried over.

Like the Super Hi 5,

the 50-cent Pick 5 (on the dayʼs last five races) will have a low, 15 percent takeout.

Gulfstream has also lowered the minimum wager on its trifectas to 50 cents.

The popular 10-cent Rainbow 6, which produced a record total pool last April of $5.018 million, will return with a 20 percent takeout and will be contested over the dayʼs final six races.

Gulfstream also announced there will be two Pick 4ʼs each day, rolling daily doubles and Bet-3ʼs as well as exactas, trifectas and superfectas in each race.

There will be a 10-cent minimum wager on the Rainbow 6 and Superfecta, 50-cent minimums on trifectas, Pick-4 and Pick-5, and a $1 minimum on all other wagers, including the Super Hi 5.

BREAKFAST AT GULFSTREAM Gulfstream Park will play host to its popular Breakfast at Gulfstream every Saturday during its live race meet beginning opening day and running through March 31.

This yearʼs Breakfast at Gulfstream will once again afford fans and families an opportunity to watch the finest thoroughbreds in the world train in the early morning across Gulfstreamʼs track while enjoying a delicious buffet breakfast at the Tiki Hut and new Picnic Area.

There will also be giveaways, autograph signings and a chance to meet Gulfstreamʼs leading riders and trainers as well as track announcer Larry Collmus and handicappers Ron Nicoletti and Jessica Pacheco.

Children and adults will also be able to get their picture taken with horses Hollywood, Pacific and Jager before taking a free tour of Gulfstreamʼs barn area with your host Lisa Wintermote.

Parking and admission to Breakfast at Gulfstream is always free and runs from 7-10 a.m.

There is an $8 charge for the unlimited breakfast buffet.

Veterans Day display to be at the Hemisphere Condominium

Hello everyone, As a member of the Broward County Historical Commission, I am pleased to announce that 32 men and women have been selected as Broward County Pioneers, for 2011.

This event will be held on December 3, 2011, at 2 pm on the grounds of the Ft. Lauderdale History Center, 231 S.W. 2nd.

Ave. The public is welcome, and admission is free.

They will join a distinguished group of almost 2,000 other pioneers the Commission has honored since the beginning of the program, that was started in 1973.

This 39th Annual Pioneer Day event honors Broward County residents or groups that have made significant contributions to historical preservation or education.

During the summer, the Hallandale Historical Preservation Board selected longtime resident, and Army Veteran, George Posnansky, who recently passed away, and will be honored posthumously.

Another long time resident and employee of our city, Essie M. Crews Morgan will be honored also, as our Pioneer.

If you enjoyed our Veterans Display in the Cultural Center, you will have an opportunity to see it again at the Hemisphere Condominium, in their Beach Side Auditorium, December 7th, from 11am to 1pm.

We will honor the young men and women who fought and lost their lives protecting our Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor.

December 7, 1941, marks 70 years since Japan sent 6 aircraft carriers with 423 Mitsubishi made aircraft, killing 2,335 servicemen, and 68 civilians, 1178 were also wounded.

This was our first 9/11, and should never be forgotten.

If any Veterans would like to add to our expanding display, please contact me, as it will return on Memorial Day. (954) 274-7230, or e-mail, becjuli@aol.com.

Connieʼs dream came true when she started her successful pet grooming retail store thatʼs been in the same location now for 12 years.

QUALITY NATURAL PET FOOD Pets are dependent on their owner to make an educated decision to buy a nutritious pet food. “We do not sell pet food that Publix, Pet Smart or Walmart sells.”

As an expert on dog and cat care, Connie can tell by a dogʼs coat if they are healthy and eating the right type of dog food. “I know 95% of the times, pets that eat the wrong type of pet food develop skin problems, ear infections and allergies.”

Hallandale Pet Salon sells only healthy quality pet food with nutritious ingredients. The following brands include: Orijen, Acana, Wellness, California Natural, Evo, Innova, Great Life and Evangers. California Natural is now offering a promotion. Buy ten bags and receive one bag free! Sample packets are available to determine if your dog will enjoy a particular food.

Pets are dependent on their owner to make an educated decision to buy a nutritious pet food. “We do not sell pet food that Publix, Pet Smart or Walmart sells.”

stores sell inferior dog food with ingredients that include: Animal fats, sugar and soy protein concentrate and ground up entrails. The big stores are more interested in moving as many bags off the shelves regardless of the quality. “If you knew what Purina puts into their products, you would not want you pet to be eating this stuff.

Whole Foods Market brand, which is supposed to be good, is not that healthy.”

Since Connie surrounds herself with

pets brought in for grooming, when she sees a dog or cat with a healthy coat, she would ask her customers what type of food does your pet eat. The same goes for when a dog has tearing eyes, bad ears and a skin condition; she asks about the dog food they are feeding their pet.

By doing this research, she was able to compile a list of the best quality pet foods and ones to avoid. “My dog King has very sensitive skin and I have spent so much money on the veterinarian and changed his food at least twenty times until I found the right

healthy food. I feed him the Acana brand; the company makes these varieties: Lamb, fish, duck and egg for cats and dogs,” says Connie.

When you feed your pet a quality dog food they will tend to eat less because they are getting all the nutritional needs.

Canadian brands are an excellent choice with ingredients as: Grain free formula, free range lamb, wild caught salmon, free run duck and whole eggs. Pets that have a proper diet will be healthier and happier. If your pet does not tolerate meat, there is a dog food that is made from only fish.

‘Shrek’ - The Funniest New Musical makes its premiere at the Arsht Center

By Eleanor Hannan Shrek, the musical is being sent to theatres across the country for American families to experience their favorite fairy tale creatures live on stage, it begins with a swampdwelling ogre who goes on a life-changing adventure to reclaim the deed to his land while he also manages to fight a fearsome dragon. The musical is based on the OscarWinning Dream Works film that started it all, bringing the hilarious story of everyone's favorite ogre, not a handsome prince, to life. In a faraway kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly when an unbelievable ogre shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a donkey who won't shut up, a villain with a short temper, a cookie with an attitude and more than a dozen other fairy tale misfits and you have the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand and his name is Shrek.

The musical gives the audience back the story characters we thought we knew, such as Shrek, Princess Fiona and the evil Lord Farquaad. The stage version gives back all the things that were liked in the movie, plus more about the characters, while keeping all the humor that spices up the plot. Featuring a terrific score of nineteen all-new songs, lots of laughs, great danc-

ing and breathtaking scenery, it is so far the funniest musical and kids will love Shrek too.

Tickets are now on sale for the musical opening on December 6th and going through to December 11th, 2011. Tickets start at $25 and up at the box office located at 1300 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami. For showtimes and information, call: (305) 949-6722 Or online at: www.arshtcenter.org. Groups of 10 or more, call: (786) 4682326.

BROWARD STAGE DOOR THEATRE PRESENTS THE BELOVED MULTIPLE TONY AWARDS MUSICAL "GUYS & DOLLS" AT THE NEW BYRON CARLYLE THEATRE Based on Damon Runyon's short story "The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown," "Guys & Dolls," revolves around Nathan Detroit, the organizer of the oldest established permanent floating crap game in New York, who bets fellow gambler Sky Masterson that he can make the next girl he sees fall in love with him. The next girl he sees happens to be Miss Sarah Brown, a pure-at-heart Salvation Army-type reformer and the stage is set for a hilarious evening of complications.

It all begins when Nathan Detroit and high-rolling gambler Sky Masterson cannot persuade Save-A-Soul

Sister Sarah Brown to accompany him on a trip to Cuba. While the worldly Sky works his charms on Sarah, Nathan is doing his best to stay outside the matrimonial clutches of his long-suffering fiancée, Miss Adelaide.

"Guys & Dolls," is a fable about what happens to gambling men

and the women who long to tame them. Set in the colorful world of New York City in the mid 20th century, the romantic and funny "Guys & Dolls" is populated with gangsters and gamblers, missionary dolls and scantily clad showgirls and one of the great musical scores in the history of

American theatre, such as "When you see a guy reach for stars in the sky, you can bet he's doing it for some doll."

See this all time favorite musical starting at the new Byron Carlyle Theatre located at 500 71st Street, Miami Beach from December 9th, 2011 to January

8th, 2012. Perforrmances are Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. Matinees are Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets are $38. For information, call: (305) 397-8977.

Making the holidays brighter

By Steve Cummings This holiday season will be partially marred by a devastated economy creating limited spending power by many consumers. Although the crowds will line up in the pre-dawn hours to snatch up low priced televisions and computers at stores like Best Buy, Target and Walmart, there are many folks that will have no presents to exchange and no meals to eat at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

We have often heard that important phrase that “it is more important to give than receive” as the Hallandale High School Key Club sent a dozen of itʼs altruistic members including their faculty advisor, Collette Williams who is a reading coach at the school to The Jubilee Center of South Broward to serve lunch to the homeless the day prior to Thanksgiving. The center is located on 2020 Scott Street in Hollywood and serves hot meals Monday through Friday to anyone who feels that they need this assistance.

Our group of volunteers was met at 8 A.M. by an affable gentleman named Lucius Beard who bears the title Logistics Volunteer, but his duties include supervising the volunteers showing them their assignments.

Beard spent twenty years serving in the United States Armed Forces and realized his dream of assisting as a social worker on a volunteer basis arriving daily at 6 A.M to open the center and coordinate the hot meal for the day.

Executive Director Joyce Curtis was most

courteous addressing our group and thanking them profusely for their service. I should point out that the students were on vacation and still felt compelled to awake early and travel to the Jubilee Kitchen. Curtis pointed out that the Jubilee provides many services other than serving food that include distributing clothing, bus passes, hygiene kits, legal aid, food stamps and Medicaid , access to computers so patrons can create and update resumes and check email, and most importantly providing pantry bags of food when the customers depart the center.

There was a recent article published in the two major daily newspapers in South Florida stating that the funding from the city of Hollywood may be terminated to the Jubilee Center due to security issues when the customers line up outside in the rear of the facility prior to food service.

The city suggested that they hire a security guard to maintain decorum as there were complaints from some neighbors. On my day of service, the volunteers stood side by side with the patrons and joined hands in prayer as the

group of 164 were nothing but docile and appreciative and I would honestly state that over 95% of the folks who came in for a complimentary meal uttered comments such as “God Bless you” and “Happy Holidays to you and your family” as our service continued seamlessly without a single incident.

We are experiencing difficult times, but as I preach to the children, there are always those more needy than ourselves. I have learned that there is no profile for the homeless. They are not necessarily disheveled, but many who are recently unemployed or who succumbed to the vicious world of becoming overextended in debt.

The Jubilee Center would greatly appreciate your financial assistance or donation of canned goods or having your group volunteer. In the spirit of the holidays, I urge you to help out.

Please contact Joyce Curtis at 954-920-0106 for further information.

DIPLOMAT PODIATRY ASSOCIATES

Don't let sore feet get you down. Letʼs face it, after trying all the over the-counter remedies including jelly innersoles, bunion patches and felt plasters, your feet still hurt. Even worse is that now your knees, hips and back hurt also. It is time for some professional help. Your feet need an accurate diagnosis, not a one-sizefits-all over the counter device from the grocery store.

You are a telephone call away (954-4568100) from a team of podiatrists who will examine your feet, correct the problems and advise how to keep them healthy.

Dr Richard J Rimler, DPM believes that "Wellness Starts With The Feet" and one of the main points he lectures about is that overall body wellness is initiated from the ground and then works its way up the body. First and foremost is the need to wear sensible and well-fitted shoes, preferably with a lace or velcro. The width of the shoe needs to take into account any bunions (protruding joints) that might be present. The length of the shoe should enable you to "play the piano with your toes" while standing.

The need for a custom orthotic or patient-appropriate over- the-counter arch supports or inserts is the second most important thing to do on your way to body wellness. That means not trying to self-diagnose and not using a do-it-yourself arch support kiosk. It means going to the podiatrist, who is the "foot expert" and being properly evaluated. Once those two things are in place (shoes plus orthotics/arch supports/inserts) you can then walk around without pain in your feet.

This should also help to avoid future problems in the ankle, leg, knee, hip and lower back.

From there, you can step up to a regular

exercise program which will enable you to lose weight or get in better overall fitness and avoid problems related to diabetes, cardiac, elevated cholesterol and hypertension.

The end result will then be an active and longer life with "happy feet"!

EXPERT TRAINING All of the podiatrists of Diplomat Podiatry Associates are residency trained and well-schooled in their profession. Doctors Howard Fendell and Richard Rimler completed their surgical residencies with the New York College of Podiatric Medicine and Affiliated Hospitals. Dr. Sturm completed his residency with Gouverneur Treatment and Diagnostic Center, a part of the Bellveue Hospital system in New York City and is board certified in podiatric orthopedics and primary podiatric

medicine. After 20 years together, Diplomat Podiatry Associates has close to 60 years of combined experience in diagnosing and treating foot problems.

DIAGNOSTIC ULTRASOUND At Diplomat Podiatry Associates, 1931 East Hallandale Beach Blvd, you won't be cooling your heels while waiting for the all important diagnosis. It is a complete foot care center. Your feet get a thorough examination right on the premises. They even have an ultrasound machine,which probes the area of complaint with a painless high-frequency sound pulse.

"We have one here onsite. It is a big time-saver for the patient as far as not having to wait long for test results." says Dr. Howard Fendell, "The ultrasound machine's sound pulse displays the dis-

tances and intensities of its echoes on its screen. Therefore, it can detect things that an x-ray can't." According to Dr. Fendell, "It can help find things we don't see on a conventional xray, such as soft tissue problems. It helps us make an accurate diagnosis." Dr. Fendell adds, "The xray doesn't show much information about soft tissue problems, but with ultrasound, you can see inflammation and bursitis and tendonitis to compliment the x-ray findings."

ORTHOTICS Orthotics are custom-made shoe inserts that control the motion of the foot.

They are made from a variety of materials, most notably space age plastics, which are inserted into the shoes to aid foot function. Orthotics made from plastic can last from five to twenty years," says Dr. Richard Rimler.

They are custom made from a cast of your feet so they fit perfectly. "Pain isn't a necessary requirement for orthotics. If you have bunions, or if your parents have bunions (or other foot deformities) orthotics can slow down the deforming process that will lead to bunion formation, thus avoiding surgery." "Orthotics are also beneficial for many different ailments," says Dr. Rimler. "It can help your back, your hips, your knees and ankles because they realign the feet to provide optimal function."

"One of the primary

complaints that patients come to podiatrists for are heel and arch pain. Orthotics are instrumental, in the long term treatment of both of these conditions. Once the acute pain is controlled with injections, anti-inflammatory medications, strapping, physical therapy and/or night splints, orthotics are then introduced to the treatment. Orthotics are used as long term treatment to address the underlying foot conditions causing the problems. In this way orthotics act as “eye-glasses for the feet.”

“PREVENTIVE CARE" Since prevention is the best medicine,"Dr. Sturm advises, “the way to keep your feet healthy is to visit a podiatrist regularly, so that small problems donʼt become large ones. Too many people rely on selftreatment with over the-counter products.

Sometimes those products can cause injuries. Certain corn removers off the shelf, for example,contain acid which can cause infections, ulcerations, and burns.”Those with diabetes and poor circulation should be especially careful about checkups.“Diabetics are particularly prone to foot complications and infections. Regular visits can help them avoid problems." The doctors maintain a friendly, caring office. “ We treat our patients as if they were family,” Dr. Sturm said. “We care for everyone as we would care for our relatives."

Have yourself a heartburn-free holiday

(ARA) - For frequent heartburn sufferers, the abundance of rich food and drink at the myriad holiday gatherings between Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve can be trouble. Even those who suffer occasional heartburn can find their mild indigestion flares up more during the holidays.

Contrary to its name, heartburn, which affects 60 million Americans at least once a month, has nothing to do with the heart. It's a digestive problem that is also called reflux esophagitis or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Gastroesophageal reflux occurs when contents in the stomach flow back into the esophagus. This happens when the valve between the stomach and the esophagus does not close properly.

Heartburn is most often described as a burning sensation behind the breast bone that moves up toward the neck or throat. This occurs when stomach acid irritates the normal lining of the esophagus.

People may also experience acid regurgitation with heartburn,

which is the sensation of stomach fluid coming up through the chest into the mouth. Less common symptoms that may also be associated with gastroesophageal reflux include unexplained chest pain, wheezing, sore throat and cough, among others.

According to some physicians, planning ahead and knowing which over-the-counter (OTC) treatments may help are essential to keep your gatherings merry and bright.

"I always recommend heartburn sufferers be prepared and bring along a few over-thecounter treatments, like antacids or H2 blockers, when they are heading out for a holiday party," says Dr. Tom Rupp, a Michiganlicensed gastroenterologist. "With regard to

specific medications or brands, I would actually recommend patients just go with a storebrand treatment. Storebrand OTCs have the same efficacy as national brands and are approved by the FDA, but cost much less."

Allegan, Mich.-based Perrigo is a pharmaceutical company that manufactures and distributes most of the over-the-counter medications found under store-brand labels at leading retailers, grocers, club stores and pharmacies. According to Perrigo, these products are the primary treatments available over-the-counter for heartburn relief: * Antacids. Antacids come as liquids and tablets like calcium carbonate (name brands: Rolaids and Tums) * H2 blockers. Indicated

for occasional heartburn, these medications are most effective when taken an hour before eating. Examples include famotidine and ranitidine (name brands: Pepcid and Zantac). * Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). PPIs are indicated for people who have heartburn at least twice a week.

Omeprazole (name brand: Prilosec OTC)

won't relieve heartburn right away - and may take up to four days for full effect - so they're not helpful for immediate, temporary relief after you've already overindulged.

"For most people holiday heartburn is nothing to worry about.

However, if you're having ongoing symptoms, you need to see a doctor. The worst thing you could do is ignore

chronic symptoms, hoping they'll resolve in the New Year on their own," Rupp says.

You can find more information about the symptoms and treatments for holiday heartburn at the National Institute of Health, or the American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.

Enough is Enough

My boyfriend constantly plays jokes on me, & embarrasses me. He claims he means no harm & I am over-reacting. He becomes angry when I take offense. I donʼt think Iʼm too sensitive, but his constant barrage is getting to me.

What do you think?

So he can dish it out, but canʼt take it…….what a punk!.. I have had the displeasure of meeting many people like this, & while I personally find them annoying.., I must thank them for keeping my practice busy with the friends & family members affected by their “harmless hijinks”.

Now, Iʼm not saying people should be so sensitive that they cannot allow themselves to be at the butt of an occasional joke, but being constantly at the butt of

someone elseʼs jokes or pranks can lead to an undiagnosed condition called “Buttaphrenia”. This disorder includes symptoms of social uneasiness, constant acquiescence, conditioned embarrassment, & a constant humiliated smile.

Pharmaceutical companies, along with select psychiatrists, are presently working on a pill to alleviate symptoms!

Patients Helping Patients With Kidney Disease

(NewsUSA) - According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately one out of every six adults in the United States is living with chronic kidney disease (CKD). If you are battling this disease or caring for someone who has it, help and support are just a phone call away. The Renal Support Network (RSN) offers a unique program called the RSN HOPEline, a patient-run, toll-free telephone service that specializes in patient-to-patient support for people diagnosed with CKD and those who care for them.

Callers gain valuable insights from speaking to someone who understands -- a knowledgeable patient who has learned to live successfully with the illness.

RSN HOPEline operators share their experiences and impart strength and hope. RSN is a nonprofit, patientfocused, patient-run organization that provides nonmedical services to those affected by CKD. For more information, visit RSNhope.org or call RSN HOPEline at 1-800-579-1970 (English) or 1800-780-4238 (Spanish).

I believe that those who constantly target others for embarrassment, while maintaining they are just having “harmless fun”, are committing acts of passive-aggression, which is a covert way of aggressing toward others.

Usually these same people who insist their actions are harmless, become outraged should they receive the same sort of treatment, or they become unsufferably offended should you suggest their intentions are not harmless.

Just think about the poor person that gets intimately involved with them… Often, this beaten person will become conditioned to just “take it”.

I really believe these type of people could use a little therapy…, no, make that a lot of therapy! But unfortunately, it is usually those that they affect who usually seek treatment.

From Holiday Dinner Table to Emergency Room

(NewsUSA) - Holiday gatherings are fraught with peril. The average Christmas meal is 3,000 calories, according to the American Council on Exercise.

Alcohol consumption is heavier than usual.

Frantic travel agendas often result in forgetting to pack medications. A houseful of diverse personalities creates stress for the host family.

"Overindulging, traveling and the stress of entertaining have health consequences," said Niten Singh, MD, a member of the Society for Vascular Surgery. "After Thanksgiving dinner, hospital emergency rooms brim with over-

stuffed and overserved guests."

Heavy alcohol consumption can trigger a condition known as Holiday Heart Syndrome. This is an abnormal heart rhythm also referred to as atrial fibrillation. Persons who experience this condition have an increased risk of stroke.

Heart palpitations, dizziness, shortness of breath and chest discomfort are stroke symptoms. Often, stroke patients exhibit one or more of these risk factors: * Blood pressure over 135/85 * Cigarette smoking * Heavy alcohol consumption * High cholesterol

* Diabetes * Not exercising half hour daily * High sodium (salt) diet * Blood circulation problems Strokes are the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. -- 137,000 Americans died of stroke in 2010, according to the National Vital Statistics Report.

"We see a lot of

stroke patients during the holiday season," said Dr. Singh. A 2004 study in the medical journal "Circulation" reported that there are 5 percent more heart-related deaths during the holiday season.

Daily exercise, a healthy diet, not smoking and a healthy body weight are proactive measures against vascular disease. Non-in-

vasive tests can screen for vascular disease, and medications can help control it.

"The holidays are a perfect time to announce to family and friends your decision to cut back on calories, alcohol and cigarettes," said Dr. Singh. "Then, invite them to join you on a new holiday tradition -- after-dinner walks."

Tell diabetes 'not me' this winter and holiday season

(ARA) - Each winter, the cold weather and holiday festivities can bring special challenges to the nearly 26 million Americans living with diabetes - and the 79 million with prediabetes who are at grave risk of developing it.

With the season fast approaching, experts caution people with diabetes and prediabetes to take extra care to avoid cold-related illnesses, stay physically active and maintain a proper diet during holiday gatherings and the long winter months.

"The winter holidays bring family and friends together to celebrate, but for some, this time of the year means a decrease in physical activity, tempting 'no-no foods,' and an increase in weight gain, all of which can make blood sugar more difficult to manage," says Dr. Deneen Vojta, executive vice president and chief clinical officer of the Diabetes Prevention and Control Alliance (DPCA). "Fortunately, there are simple precautionary steps that people with diabetes and prediabetes can take this winter and holiday season."

Here are 10 simple ways Dr. Vojta and the DPCA say people can tell diabetes "NOT ME" this winter and enjoy the holiday season without risking their health. "NOT ME," from the DPCA, is an employer- and community-based initiative aimed at tipping the scales against the epidemic of type 2 diabetes, prediabetes and obesity.

Keep yourself and your gear warm: Dress appropriately for the cold weather, which means wearing layers and keeping your head and extremities covered. And be sure to keep your diabetes medications and supplies insulated and well-protected.

Avoid winter weight gain: Watch your caloric intake, look for holiday treats that are lighter in sugar and carbohydrates, and make

sure to keep exercising during the cold winter months.

Don't get cold feet: Keep your toes covered and warm in the cold weather.

Get vaccinated: Studies have shown that people with diabetes are three-times as likely to die from influenza or pneumonia, and five-times more likely to be hospitalized due to flu complications. So be sure to get vaccinated at the very start of cold and flu season.

Wash your hands: Another good way to avoid getting colds or respiratory viruses over the holidays is to wash your hands regularly with hot water and soap and/or an antibacterial product.

Eat thoughtfully and be merry, but watch the drink: Alcoholic beverages dilate blood vessels and accelerate the loss of body heat. Alcohol can also mask the signs of low blood sugar, which can be dangerous for people with diabetes. So be mindful of alcohol in-

take, especially at office holiday parties and family gatherings.

Seek counseling if you're feeling blue: Several studies suggest a correlation between diabetes and depression, a disease which is also known to spike each year around holiday time.

If you're feeling low, sluggish, devoid of energy, or sad, do not be afraid to reach out for help.

Check in on the elderly: Seniors with diabetes are even more susceptible to succumbing to the effects of the cold due to a reduced ability to control body temperature and a decrease of subcutaneous fat.

Check in on your elderly friends and neighbors this holiday season, especially those that live alone.

Stay hydrated. Alternating exposure to outdoor cold weather with indoor heating systems is a recipe for dehydration, which can raise blood glucose levels and cause dry skin and eyes. Drink lots of

water and liberally apply alcohol-free moisturizing lotion throughout the winter months.

Strive for a stress-free sea-

son: Stress has been shown to affect blood sugar levels, so find ways to make your holiday season a little less hectic whether that means managing your social calendar or making detailed shopping lists in advance.

These tips can help people with diabetes and prediabetes stay healthy this winter; however, national data suggests that more than 27 percent of adults with type 2 diabetes and more than 90 percent of individuals with prediabetes may not even be aware of their condition. To learn the warning signs of prediabetes and assess

one's risk of developing type 2 diabetes visit the DPCA's interactive self-identification quiz at notme.com/dpca.

Additional resources on managing and preventing diabetes can be found by visiting the American Diabetes Association (www.diabetes.org) and the National Diabetes Education Program (ndep.nih.gov/resources). UnitedHealth Group also offers helpful tips and information on the disease at www.unitedhealthgroup.com/diabetes.

COOL AIR USA

Best in residential & commercial air conditioning service

When Lindaʼs air conditioner quit working, it was 90 degrees outside and she was expecting house guests. “I was sure their visit would be miserable for them, as well as for my family,” she says. “I figured it would take several days to get it repaired.”

But when Linda called Cool Air USA, the company sent a trained, certified technician out immediately.

“The problem was fixed within hours,” she recalls. “The technician was friendly and courteous, and I could tell he was extremely knowledgeable. My guests kept cool during their visit, and we all were happy.”

Gary was tired of his high summer electric bills. He also realized that his 15-year-old air conditioner wasnʼt cooling as well as it once did. So Gary called Cool Air USA and asked about installing a new, high efficiency unit.

“The technician told me exactly what size unit that would be best for my home and informed me about different options,” he says. “After I decided to go ahead, they installed my new air conditioner quickly and professionally. They also cleaned up after themselves so well I couldnʼt even tell theyʼd been there. My new air conditioner does a great job of cooling, and because itʼs super efficient, my FPL bills have dropped significantly.”

Linda and Gary are typical of Cool Air USA customers. The A+rated company based in Dania Beach can provide for all of your air conditioning needs quickly and efficiently.

With more than 18 years in business, Cool Air USA prides itself on offering the latest, most technologically advanced equipment, as well as top quality customer service. Both installations of new units and repairs of existing ones are done by highly trained, certified technicians.

PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION New air conditioning units are far more efficient than older models. They save energy so a homeowner can feel good about making a positive impact on the environment, and they can also significantly lower a homeownerʼs electric bills.

“Air conditioning accounts for a large portion of most homeownersʼ electric bills during the sum-

Ducts that are not cleaned regularly can harbor dust, dirt, pollen, moisture, bacteria, and other pollutants that may increase the risk of asthma and allergy attacks, bronchitis, and eye irritation.

mer months,” says Edan Aviv, who operates Cool Air USA with partners Gil Nagar and Lior Poyastro. “A new, more efficient unit can also make a difference in comfort level because it cools more efficiently Rebates and tax incentives may even help defray the initial cost of the unit.”

WHAT’S LURKING IN THE DUCTS? Even an older air conditioner can be made more efficient and safe with regular maintenance. Cool Air USA technicians are experts at cleaning the ducts, a process that can greatly reduce indoor air pollution, as well as make the unit cool more efficiently.

“Too many people neglect their air conditioners because the problems arenʼt visible,” Nagar says. “You may not notice that your unit isnʼt cooling as efficiently as it was before because the decline happens gradually. And you also may not be aware that dirty air conditioner ducts can actually harm the quality of the air in your home.”

Ducts that are not cleaned regularly can harbor dust, dirt, pollen, moisture, bacteria, and other pollutants that may increase the risk of asthma and allergy attacks, bronchitis, and eye irritation. To take care of the problem, Cool Air USA carefully vacuums the ducts using a turbojet-powered machine that gets rid of any foreign substances lurking there.

Then the supply vents are sealed to keep the ducts in pristine condition for as long as possible. “Once the duct system is professionally cleaned, it should stay that way for three to seven years,” Nagar says.

DRYER VENT CLEANING Dryer vent cleaning is another service offered by Cool Air USA.

“Many homeowners donʼt realize that the vents in their clothes dryers can create fire risk,” Poyastro says.

While the filter captures some of the lint that is created when you dry your clothes, it doesnʼt get all of it. “If the remaining lint builds up and comes into contact with the dryerʼs heating element, it can start to burn,” Povastro continues. “This is especially dangerous because

many people allow their dryers to operate while they are away from home.”

A professional vent cleaning will solve the problem. “It is a hazard that people often donʼt think about,” Aviv says. “But it is easy to let us take care of things before there is a problem.”

EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE Cool Air USA values

its customers and strives to provide them with the very best service. Technicians with North American Technician Excellence certification take meticulous care of your property and always clean up after themselves.

“We know that service is what keeps people coming back to us,” Aviv says. “Much of our business comes from word-of-mouth, because satisfied customers recommend us to their friends. Weʼre proud of our reputation in the community, and we will always work hard to maintain it.”

Authentic Tuscan tastes bring big holiday flavor

(ARA) - When Janelle Maiocco learned she was traveling to Italy last summer on an all-expenses paid trip through Tuscany, it was as though the chef and blogger were really just coming home.

Having spent a year living abroad in Florence with her family, the Seattle-based mom and urban-gardening foodie was certainly no stranger to adventure. So when Maiocco discovered DaVinci Wine's Storyteller Experience application on Facebook, she decided to throw her hat in the ring for a chance to visit the old country once again.

SHE WASN'T ALONE. DaVinci received over 200 applications from other chefs, bloggers, videographers, artists and wine enthusiasts, selecting just four lucky Storytellers to travel to Vinci, Italy and learn about the people, place and passion behind the storied Italian wine brand. Four categories - culinary arts, visual arts, language arts, and documentarian comprised this year's coveted spots.

"It was such an overwhelmingly fantastic opportunity," says Maiocco.

"I love stories. We're all either reminiscing about

the last story or making the next story. To get to travel to Tuscany and help share the story of DaVinci wine - from the growers to winemakers to local artisans - was a dream come true."

Maiocco was selected as the "Culinary Arts" storyteller, bringing her love of Chianti and Tuscanstyle dishes to the forefront of the weeklong Storyteller Experience.

"We met growers, winemakers, chefs and employees of DaVinci Wine.

We made lifelong friends, enjoyed countless food and wine pairings, and soaked up the Tuscan landscape," she says.

She also translated her experience in the best way she knew how: through authentic Tuscan-style dishes paired with delicious Italian wine. Below are two such recipes inspired by DaVinci wine, and include insider information on proper pairings. With simple ingredients and easy preparation, you too can share the Storyteller Experience with friends and family this holiday season.

For more recipes, works of art, photos and video from this year's storytellers, visit www.Facebook.com/DaVinciWine.

Primi: The first course is

MUSSELS IN PINOT GRIGIO AND GARLIC

generally a starch. Italians spread out their courses, so no two menu items go on one plate because each course is deserving of its own. The primi course includes everything from pasta to risottos, polenta, gnocchi and gnudi.

CHIANTI MEAT RAGU WITH PAPPARDELLE 1/4 cup olive oil 2 carrots, minced 2 small shallots, minced 1 celery stalk, minced 1 teaspoon dried thyme 2 tablespoons parsley,

chopped Kosher salt Coarse pepper 1 pound beef, trimmed of fat and cut into 1/4 inch dice 3 tablespoons tomato paste 1 cup DaVinci Chianti 1/2 pound pappardelle pasta 1 cup vegetable or chicken stock (or pasta water from boiling the pappardelle) In a large skillet over medium-low, heat the oil.

Add the carrots, shallots,

celery and seasonings and saute for seven to nine minutes. Increase heat to just above medium. Add beef and stir occasionally, cooking for five minutes. Add tomato paste and stir into mix. Cook three minutes.

Add Chianti, lower heat to just below medium, and let simmer for 30 minutes. Add stock or pasta water and let simmer, uncovered, for one hour. Adjust stock and seasonings for desired consistency. In large pot, boil pasta per packaging instructions in salted water. When pasta is al dente, remove from water and place directly into ragu pan. Remove from heat, stir to blend and serve immediately. To loosen sauce, add a little hot pasta water while stirring together the pasta and ragu.

Wine pairing: DaVinci Chianti Riserva Secondi: The second course is the main course: the protein climax. Big forks and knives dive into wild boar stew, tuna steaks, shellfish or sausage nestled in a bed of cannellini beans with garlicky tomato sauce.

MUSSELS IN PINOT GRIGIO AND GARLIC 2 tablespoons olive oil 4 cloves garlic,

chopped 2 shallots, coarsely chopped Coarse pepper 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1 2/3 cups DaVinci Pinot Grigio 1 1/2 pounds cultivated mussels, scrubbed 2 tablespoons fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley, chopped 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold Kosher salt

In large pot over medium low, heat the oil.

Add garlic and shallots then salt and peppers.

Saute for six to eight minutes, careful not to burn the garlic. Add wine, let simmer for a few minutes, then add scrubbed mussels. Cover and cook for seven to nine minutes. Open pot, discard any unopened mussels and place opened mussels in serving bowl. Swirl parsley and butter into wine sauce, then pour over mussels.

Optional: Halve one baguette lengthwise, rub with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt and coarse pepper. Grill or broil. When still hot, rub face of bread with raw garlic. Serve alongside mussels.

Wine pairing: DaVinci Pinot Grigio
