HALLANDALEBEACH - This wasFCAT week in everyschool in the state.Our students andteachers have been allworking extremelyhard to continue tomake amazing stridesin education. Hallan-dale High School hasbeen graded as an Aschool for the first timesince FCAT testingbegan. They haveacutely increased twoletter grades from a Cto A last year. Likemany other stakehold-ers, I am not a fan ofFCAT as a measurefor school perform-ance, but it is great toknow years of hardwork and communitypartnerships have pre-vailed.

What are equally im-portant are the “wholestudent” and the otherlife skills and pro-grams that have hadthe opportunity to bepresented. Over thepast 10 years I havemade it a point to rec-ognize studentachievement at cityhall though the Stu-dent Citizen of theMonth Awards andcelebrate our schools.This last month I alsotook time to recognizestudents that rankedthe highest in volun-teer and communityservice hours in theHigh School Graduat-ing class.

The Nation’s Mayorcelebrated a NationalDay of Service the first

week on April. I de-cided to focus on ourstudents. Students, ata minimum, must pro-vide 40 hours of com-munity service hoursto graduate. The fol-lowing four studentshave accumulated6,000 hours whileachieving greatgrades.

The student that ac-cumulated the mosthours was AshleyCommertie with 3,177hours. Thamara San-tiago accumulated1,463, Aisha Lindsey1,396 and Yoleidys Al-fonso 1020. All theseyoung ladies have re-ceived high academichonors and are all col-lege bound. They vol-unteered at citycamps, senior homes,day care, church andother organizations.They are true exam-ples of young commu-nity leaders andshould be an exampleto everyone.

To put it in perspec-tive I have challengedresidents to volunteer

one hour a week atour schools. It wouldtake 100 years toeven accumulate 6000hours. These ladieshave accumulated6000 hours over 16years collectively. Itgoes to show howonce you start helpingothers the wonderfulfeeling you get is sorewarding that youkeep going back.

Commissioner BillJulian and many Kiwa-nis volunteers workedto present anotherPasta Dinner. Theevent was very suc-cessful and broughtout well over 300 at-tendees to support ourlocal schools. This an-nual event raisesfunds to help the prin-cipals who quite oftendig into their ownfunds to provide spe-cial events and sup-plies to students.Commissioner Julianwill be reporting onhow much money wasraised and distributingthe checks to the prin-cipals at our May 1stmeeting.

General ManagerRon Daniels of WinnDixie partnered withour ElementarySchool for a familymath night. The entirestudent body and theirfamilies had a chanceto learn math whilehaving fun shopping.Hallandale Elementarycontinues to be an Aranked school.

All our schools arecelebrating many

other great accom-plishments. In additionto celebrating beingBoards Principal of theYear, Principal Kings-ley shared that 6 GulfStream Middle SchoolStudents have beenawarded full collegescholarships in recog-nition of their aca-demic performancefrom “Take Stock InChildren’’. The schoolalso was invited toparticipate in theFlorida Derby PosterContest with the win-ner received an IPODin a special ceremonyin the inner circle.

Last Monday Com-missioner Sandersand I had a chance torepresent our city at aspecial Zone meetingto kick off the BlackMale Success TaskForce. While our HighSchool has reached Astatus, not all studentsare succeeding. Theentire district is focus-ing on black malegraduation rates. The

District goal is to in-crease the rate by de-veloping strategicplans in each Zone.

Mr. Battle has devel-oped a Peer to Peermentoring programcalled SWAG. This isa select group of stu-dents that dress inbusiness attire andwork with other class-mates and youngerstudents on life skillsand most importantly,setting an example ofleadership. The kick-off included breakoutsessions where stu-dents teach and otherstakeholders candidlydiscussed weak-nesses and problemsin the current schoolsetting that need to bechanged. Please consider vol-unteering at one of ourschools. You can visittheir website for moreinformation.

Beach erosion? April 30 meeting addresses the problem

Beach erosion and how to deal with the problem will take centerstage Tuesday, April 30, in a special community meeting and work-shop hosted by Hallandale Beach Mayor Joy Cooper and City Com-missioners at the Hemispheres Condominium, 1985 S. Ocean Drive.The meeting is set to begin at 6 p.m.

Commissioners have invited the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Broward County andbeach residents to discuss options for funding to repair the beach.

Hallandale Beach engineers have been monitoring the beach andevaluating options to repair “hot spots” eroded during the 2012 hurri-cane season and during recent storms.

markets – once be-lieved to have the mo-nopoly with a majorityof shoppers – hasdwindled.”

Indeed, like gasolineand other goods andservices, our local gro-cery store had to keepup with the risingcosts, and becausethey had so many mid-dle men and high over-heads, they had tocontinue to pass thatcost on to us – theconsumer.

The days of thosecrowded supermarketsare over. Unless it’s aholiday, most grocerystores have watched asteady decline, andwhile many have madea strong reputation asbeing a quality grocer,that is costing severalbig name marketsplenty.As Odalis Perez

shopped at the newOkie Dokey Market onN. Federal Highway inHollywood, she spokeabout the need forthese lower cost mar-kets that still offername brands and freshfruits and vegetables ata much lower cost.

When you have sixmouths to feed daily,there is simply no otheroption – as Perez willhead to three or fourdifferent stores a weekin order to savemoney.“I have always found

that if you go to thoseCostcos, Sams or BJs,and plan to savemoney, you have tobuy in bulk,” Perezsaid. “I am in a situa-tion where 8-10 gallonsof milk a week is thenorm when you havefour children – 12 to 10months. It’s things likethat when you startsearching.”

Perez is also acoupon clipper, under-standing that every-thing adds up – andwhen you have thechance to get some-thing free, it’s some-thing you go right after.

There is no gettingaway from the fact thatwe are all looking tocut back and savemoney, and while somuch food is wastedeach week fromspoilage or over-buy-ing, it’s now that wehave taken a closerlook at how to saveand where to shop.

In addition to Publix,Winn Dixie and thenew and smaller Okie

Dokey markets thathave popped upthroughout Miami-Dade and Broward,there are several otherethnic markets – thatwhile they still carry thefamiliar products at acheaper price – alsogive the consumers anoption.

From Aldi toSedanos, Bravo, Wal-Mart and Target, thecompetition for the gro-cery dollar is fierce.Wal-Mart has gone asfar as taking over oldergrocery store locationsto add a food only mar-ket concept to this mixof competition.

“It makes sense formany different marketsto continue to jump intothe war for that fooddollar,” said KerryMyers of Aventura.“Fresh Market, WholeFoods and these farm-ers markets have alsocut into the monopolythat these food giantshave long stood over.”

While Publix and themore recognizablefood stores continuethe need to be compet-itive, lowering prices oroffering 2 for 1, it’sthose Penn Dutch andPresident markets –along with the verypopular Kosher King-dom (Aventura) andLaurenzo’s Italian Mar-ket in North MiamiBeach that continue tosway customers away.

Both Kosher King-dom and Laurenzo's -two of our oldest andmost loyal advertisers -have done very wellagainst the main-stream markets. Infact, they have donewell by offering pre-mium items that youcannot find in your av-erage grocery store.

The need to be differ-ent and perhaps offerthe consumer a smallpart of the weekly gro-cery list is what hasmade farmers markets- as well as fruit andvegetable businesses -thrive in the war for thefood dollar.

“The need to becompetitive is very im-portant these days,”says Jamie, who runsJamie’s Garden ofEden (3701 N. 29thAve., 1 block south ofPenn Dutch GroceryMarket) in Hollywood.“Advertising in thepaper has been hugefor us, and when youare open Thursdaythrough Sunday likewe are, it’s vital for usto give our customersthe very best quality atcompetitive prices.”

Jamie's Garden ofEden delivers that farmto your table experi-ence - much like anyfarmer's market experi-ence. That, Jamieagrees, is one of thehuge lures in getting ashare of the market.

"Offering the fresh-est fruits and vegeta-bles of the season -without the middle man

- is what helps us passdown the savings aswell as still offer qual-ity," Jamie explained. "Ithink there are plentyof people who feel spe-cial coming to a placelike this, knowing thatmuch of our producewas picked yesterday!"

For someone whogrew up with optionssuch as A&P, Kwik

Check, Grand Union,Food Fair, Pantry Prideand Dominion to relyon, I understand theneed to continue givingthe consumer a lowerprice while not compro-mising quality.

by the colors of theircostumes. Although theballet has no specificplot, the tone of thepiece is uplifting and isslightly tinged with aSlavic reminiscent ofmazurkas and waltzes.“Dances at a Gathering”has been acclaimed asone of the greatest bal-lets of all time.

The second ballet,“Slaughter on Tenth Av-enue” was created aspart of the 1936 musicalhit, “On Your Toes” byGeorge Balanchine. In1968, part of the showwas extended to include

a member of the castplaced in the audiencewho will be tap dancing.

Hollywood Hills High School Military Academyand McArthur High School JROTC Programsranked among the best units in the nation

The Hollywood Hills High School Military Academy and McArthurHigh School JROTC programs were awarded the coveted Honor Unitwith Distinction from the U.S. Army Cadet Command. In March, theschools received formal inspection from the U.S. Army and earnedthe Honor Unit with Distinction rating, ranking them among the verybest units in the nation.

The Honor Unit with Distinction, or Gold Star status, is the U.S.Army’s highest award given to the best high school JROTC units inthe nation. This is obtained by showing excellence in drill and cere-mony, cadet knowledge, vigorous inspections and an overall under-standing in the JROTC program.

Every third year, the Corps of Cadets undergoes a rigorous inspec-tion process by an independent inspection team composed of bothcommissioned and non-commissioned personnel from the U. S.Army.  Members of the U.S. Army’s 6th Brigade Headquarters locatedin Savannah, Georgia conducted the inspections, which includedtraining documentation, cadet records, physical fitness and drill andceremony. Cadets were evaluated on their uniforms and drills andwere asked questions about JROTC rules and guidelines. Cadetsalso were evaluated individually on how they performed the dutiesassociated with their rank and job within the JROTC program.

Both Hollywood Hills and McArthur JROTC programs exceededthe goal of 576 out of a possible 600 inspection total points and weredesignated as Honor Units with Distinction.  The JROTC programsretain this designation for three years until their next scheduled for-mal inspection. JROTC programs receiving this distinction also qual-ity to nominate one graduating senior each of the three years tocompete for one of 20 nationwide reserved slots for appointment tothe United States Military Academy at West Point.    

Currently, the Broward County School District has over 7,000 stu-dents enrolled in JROTC in 29 high schools. Broward County PublicSchools is the largest school district in the nation with JROTC in all ofits traditional high schools.

(BPT) - If cleanlinessis next to godliness - asthe old adage goes -than a clean kitchen issimply a divine place tobe. It's the room in yourhome that gets the mostintense use, so keepingyour kitchen clean canbe a challenge. You canmake kitchen cleanup abit easier if you takeyour cleanliness cuesfrom professional chefs.

In a professionalkitchen, cleanliness isnot only a vital healthissue, it directly impactsthe efficient operation ofthe kitchen and every-one who works in it.Here are five tricks pro-fessional chefs use tomaximize cleanlinessand efficiency in theirkitchens:1. Don't touch - Fromthe culinary student whochops the onions for theFrench onion soup, tothe chef that cooks thefood and puts it on theplate, every team mem-ber in a professionalkitchen knows that touchspreads germs. Homechefs can reduce the

spread of germs in theirown kitchens by mini-mizing the need to touchkey tools, like the faucet.

Touch-free faucets,like Kohler's SensateTouchless KitchenFaucet, allow you tocontrol the flow of waterin your kitchen sink with-out ever having to toucha potentially germy sur-face. A state-of-the-artsensor allows the faucetto respond in 20 mil-liseconds, and elimi-nates the need forbare-skin taps or awk-ward waving to activatethe sensor. To learnmore about the latest inkitchen faucet designand technology, visitwww.Kohler.com.2. Always be pre-pared - In professionalkitchens, staff use sepa-rate cutting boards - andoften utensils - forpreparing meats, veg-etables and fruits. Stor-ing utensils, pots andpans according to theirtasks facilitates quickand easy access whenpreparing food. Mis-en-place (pronounced

meez-ahn-place), aFrench adage and popu-lar chef's practice, in-volves gathering allingredients and imple-ments needed beforecooking begins. Witheverything in its place,you'll be able to movesmoothly and efficientlythrough a recipe withouthalting food prep to digthrough the refrigeratoror pantry.3. Countertop savvy- Countertop savvy goesbeyond just keepingthem clean. Just as youuse separate cuttingboards for meats andvegetables, consider thevalue of task-specificcountertop surfaces.Avid bakers, for exam-ple, can benefit frommarble countertops be-cause the material helpskeep the dough cool. Ifsuch an installation fallsoutside your budget,consider a marble pastryboard instead. Place iton the kitchen table totransform your eatingarea into an impromptubake station. Bonus:rolling dough on a sur-

face slightly shorter thanstandard 36-inch coun-tertops provides a morecomfortable, ergonomicexperience.4. Work the triangle- You may be familiarwith the concept of thework triangle: arrangingthe refrigerator (foodstorage), sink (food preparea) and range (cook-

ing space) in a triangleconfiguration makes thekitchen more efficient.But improving efficiencyin your kitchen encom-passes more than justthe arrangement ofthese three key areas.Expand the concept toinclude other items thatfall into each of thesecategories. For exam-

ple, positioning thepantry beside the refrig-erator ensures food isstored in the same gen-eral location - and in-creases the efficiency ofyour triangle flow. Inshort, the fewer stepstaken to navigate the tri-angle, the more efficientit is.

Dental Implants aredone for a variety ofreasons. According tothe American Associa-tion of Oral and Max-illofacial Surgeons,statistics show thatnearly 70% of adultsaged 35 to 44 years inthe United Stateshave at least onemissing tooth due toan accident, toothdecay, gum disease,or dental fractures.But there’s no need togo through life withmissing teeth. Thereare many good alter-natives available.Dental Implants andDentures are the mostcommon options andcan work in conjunc-tion with each other.

After a while thetooth your partial den-ture is hooked to maydecay. If you are miss-ing teeth and yourgums and jaw arehealthy, you may ben-efit from dental im-plants, which arereplacement teeth thatare implanted surgi-cally into the jawbone.Two or more implantsmay serve as a baseof support for severalreplacement teeth.Implants are tiny tita-nium posts that areplaced into the jaw-bone where teeth aremissing. The bonebonds with the tita-nium, creating astrong foundation forartificial teeth. In addi-tion, implants can helppreserve facial struc-ture, preventing thebone deteriorationthat occurs whenteeth are missing.Aesthetics is one ofthe biggest reasonsfor opting for dentalimplants because theylook and feel as natu-ral as real teeth andhelp to create a beau-tiful smile. Normalchewing and bite canalso be re-establishedwhich keeps sur-rounding teeth, gumsand jaws workingproperly. With ad-vancement in the

technology, dental im-plants are actuallymore tooth-savingthan traditional bridge-work, since implantsdo not rely on neigh-boring teeth for sup-port.

Most people worryabout the amount oftime it takes for oftencomplicated dentalimplantations as wellas the required periodof recovery. Conven-tional implant proce-dures often requireseveral appointmentsand long hours of sur-gical procedures, notto mention the recov-ery time. However,technological ad-vancements signifi-cantly reduce theamount of time for animplant to be placedas well as for recov-ery. Today, implanta-tion only takes a dayand virtually no recov-ery time is needed aspatients can eat al-most anything theywant immediatelyafter. Dental implantsare changing the waypeople live! With den-tal implants, peopleare rediscovering thecomfort and confi-dence to eat, speak,laugh, and enjoy life.

If, you feel implantdentistry is the choicefor you, they ask youto undergo adental/radiographicexamination andhealth history. Yourquestions and con-cerns are importantand their team worksvery closely to helpmake your procedurea success. Many op-tions can be consid-

ered if you decide tohave implants. Youcan decide which typeof restoration is at-tached to the im-plants. Dental Crowns(single teeth) are themost commonrestoration attached todental implants butother options arebridges and dentures.If you are wonderingwhat would be bestand healthiest for you,come in for a FREECONSULTATION!

Botox and Juvé-derm and Dysport arealso offered and for alimited time you canenjoy a FREE CON-SULTATION to evalu-ate, how and which,procedure would workbest for you.

(BPT) - Do you con-sider yourself at in-creased risk foratherosclerosis? If youanswered “no” – you’renot alone. A recent sur-vey* conducted by As-traZeneca of more than2000 American adultsrevealed that only 1 in 5(20 percent) respon-dents consider them-selves at increased risk

for this potentially dan-gerous disease whereplaque builds up in thearteries slowly overtime.The survey also re-

vealed that only 21 per-cent of respondentscould correctly identifyall 6 atherosclerosis riskfactors that were askedabout in the survey (highcholesterol, high blood

pressure, diabetes, fam-ily history of early heartdisease, smoking andobesity).

So why is it importantfor people to know aboutatherosclerosis and therisk factors for plaquebuildup in arteries? Ifpeople understand theirrisk for this disease,they can work with theirhealth care provider totake steps to help man-age that risk. This is par-ticularly important for theapproximately 14% ofAmerican adults livingwith high cholesterol,since adults with highcholesterol and one ormore additional risk fac-tors may be at increasedrisk for atherosclerosis.

A cholesterol manage-ment plan to help pa-tients reach theircholesterol goals shouldbegin with lifestylechanges, which can in-clude quitting smoking,eating healthy foods andexercising more often.However, for some peo-ple, diet and exercisealone may not beenough to lower highcholesterol, so it is im-portant that they talkwith their health careproviders about theirtreatment options.

A doctor may recom-mend CRESTOR® (ro-suvastatin calcium)when diet and exercisealone are not enough. Ina clinical trial versus Lip-itor® (atorvastatin cal-cium), CRESTOR gotmore high-risk patients'LDL (bad) cholesterol toa goal of under 100mg/dL.† In adults,

CRESTOR, along withdiet, is FDA approved tolower high cholesteroland slow plaque buildupin arteries as part of atreatment plan to lowercholesterol to goal.CRESTOR is not rightfor everyone, includinganyone who is nursing,pregnant or may be-come pregnant, has liverproblems, or has had anallergic reaction toCRESTOR. Please seeadditional ImportantSafety Informationbelow.

*Based on an onlinesurvey among 2487 USadults (each of the fol-lowing markets: Con-necticut, 305; Florida,301; Indiana, 306; Mis-sissippi, 361; North Car-olina, 305;Pennsylvania, 302;Texas, 300; WashingtonDC, 307) ages 18 andolder; conducted August31- September 9, 2012.

†In high-risk patients,per Treatment Guide-

lines, LDL (bad) choles-terol goal is <100 mg/dL.

particularly effective?. A… Cognitive-recon-struction is a reliable, andcost-effective tool for peo-ple suffering from lowself-esteem, and or self-defeating behaviors. At itscore, cognitive-recon-struction helps identifyand change maladaptivethinking and behavior. Italso addresses the innerdialogue (we all have)which perpetuates mal-adaptive beliefs.

Here are some very common types of faultythinking that therapist see regularly and helptheir clients cognitively reconstruct.1. Jumping to conclusions, based on an all ornothing black and white thinking processes. (lackof mid-ground thinking).2. Focusing on negative events and attributes,while ignoring positive ones Example: Relation-ships stink, they’re just an endless supply of hurt,with little comfort.3. Catastrophizing events and experiences,while also generalizing one’s problems as life-long and irreversible (again lack of a middleground)…Example: It’s not just that my girlfriendbroke up with me, but no one is ever going towant me again. I never did, and never will findtrue love.4. Inappropriately labeling one’s self or others…Example: I’m a loser…, or “they’re all gold dig-gers”.5. Disproportionably blaming ones self or othersfor unsuccessful outcomes (again lacking middleground)….. Example: It’s all my fault. I did every-thing wrong, or it’s all her fault, she did every-thing wrong.

A proficient cognitive-behavioral therapist willattempt to re-frame the client’s thoughts and ver-balization to possibly something like this:1. Love has both ups and downs. Maybe the nexttime I will experience more of the ups and less ofthe downs.2. Just because my girlfriend broke up with medoes not mean I will never find someone to loveagain.3. I am not a loser. Relationships are not aboutwinning or losing4. Perhaps we both had some fault to why therelationship didn’t last. As you can see, cognitivereconstruction is simply helping one look atthings from a different angle…, in a more positiveand functional way….It’s really a simple concept,but right to the point, and one that a skilled thera-pist can use effectively for many people.

Hope everybody had a wonderful winter; theweather was great!...Dr. Ron

ATHEROSCLEROSISWhat Puts Certain People at Increased Risk?

PREVENTING PRESCRIPTION DRUG ABUSE(NewsUSA) - For teens, peer pressure or wanting to escape emotional stress can often lead to prescription drug experimentation,

which in turn can lead to abuse, addiction and sometimes a drug overdose.According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 70 percent of children age 12 and older say they got prescription drugs, not

from a drug dealer, but from a friend or relative."Each day, more than 2,000 teens begin abusing prescription medications, believing that doctor-prescribed medicine is safer to experi-ment with than illegal drugs," says Steve Pasierb, president and CEO of The Partnership at Drugfree.org. "Parents and grandparents takegreat pains to prevent poisoning in young children by keeping household chemicals out of the reach," according to Pasierb. "The same ap-proach needs to be taken to safeguard medications in the home."The first step is to get informed about the dangers and know how to intervene. The website www.RxSafetyMatters.org provides informa-

tion to parents and community groups on how to prevent prescription drug abuse.

TIPS FOR PARENTS INCLUDE:* Learn to recognize the signs of abuse. Warning signs include sudden mood swings, changes in social circles, secretive behavior, exces-sive sleeping and a loss of interest in appearance or hobbies. Symptoms often occur in clusters.* Monitor your medications. Keep a detailed record of which prescription drugs you have in your home and the remaining number of pills.Store your medications in a secure location. If you have medications that you no longer need or have expired, dispose of them properly.* Educate others. Talk to your relatives, neighbors and other parents in households where your children spend time. Grandparents' homesare frequently a source of pills, simply because older people take more medications. Talk to the PTA at your teen's school, and encourageothers to take preventive steps to prevent prescription drug abuse.* Talk to your children, and listen for clues. Make sure your children understand the dangers of misusing prescription medications -- butavoid providing information about which drugs are popular to abuse. Listen to your kids, and always ask these questions: "Who are theymeeting, what will they be doing, and where will they be?"

To learn more about how to prevent prescription drug abuse, download the free "Parents Guide to Understanding Prescrip-tion Drug Abuse" at www.RxSafetyMatters.org. Purdue Pharma L.P. developed www.RxSafetyMatters.org as a public

service to help combat prescription drug abuse.

nesses responded,” Ms.Holmes said. HallandaleBeach businesses Pre-mier Gym, FlashbackDiner, Mardi GrasCasino, The AnimalHospital of HallandaleBeach and the employ-ees at Mark PerlmanLaw office stepped up.Also, the Hollywood Ani-mal Hospital in Holly-wood chipped in to

secure the vests for thecanine officers.

Vests have becomestandard issue for lawenforcement officersaround the country; thislayer of protection saveslives. The canines areconsidered officers butuntil now, have not hadthe vests as part of their“uniform.”

“Those vests are bullet

proof and puncture re-sistant,” said PoliceCapt. Michel Michel. “Itmeans a lot to havethose vests.”

With the vests se-cured on the canine offi-cers, all HallandaleBeach Police Depart-ment members are pro-tected when they take tothe streets.

Hallandale Beach Fire Rescue‘Apparatus Housing Ceremony’

Hallandale BeachFire Rescue added anew $254,000 rescueunit to the fleet thismonth in a traditional“Apparatus HousingCeremony” at Station7, 121 SW 3rd Street.The ceremony in-volves fire personnelpushing the new unitinto the station, a tra-dition started whenfire units were horse-drawn. In early days, the fire units had to be backed into the station sohorses could be hooked up and pull the unit to the scene of an emer-gency. Following the tradition in modern times, the fire rescue equipmentis pushed into the station before fire administrators place the unit in serv-ice. Members of the City’s “B” shift battalion pushed the rescue unit intothe bay. The City currently has five rescue units to protect City residents.The new rescue was built by Freightliner in Columbus, Ohio.
