Before retiring last year, Hallandale Elemen-tary School Principal Sharon Ludwig setstandards and raised the educational bar inthe city.

decade ago, thingsbegan to change - andwhile it took many sacri-fices along the way - thelight at the end of thetunnel started to be-come brighter.At the center of the

change was SharonLudwig, who took overthe first line of the edu-cational process in thedistrict. What Ludwigdid as principal at Hal-landale ElementarySchool was to makechanges - and while shesaid all along that thingswould come very slowly- her goal was to ensurethat her students wouldmove on to the nextlevel more preparedthan ever before.What Ludwig did wasinstitute year roundschool. While the idea atfirst was met with criti-cism by many parentsand students, she wasquick to point out that ifchanges weren't made,the entire school feederprogram would nevermake it.Ludwig's "tough love"approach was also ac-cepted by the adminis-tration and teachers -and most importantlyembraced by the City ofHallandale Beach, whichpromised to get in-volved. Long hours andcaring to make a differ-ence was mandatory.Through the years,

Ludwig raised the barand challenged her stu-dents and teachers tomake this a school sys-tem to be proud of - andby the time she steppeddown last year - afterpouring her heart intoher job and making sac-rifices - Ludwig had in-

deed changed the faceof education in a com-munity that was lookeddown on just a decadeago."I figured that if we

were going to makechanges, they had tocome by the communityand the city," she said."We needed support inchanging direction. Wewanted to make it funonce again to come toschool and learn."Ludwig's blueprint for

a successful educa-tional feeder programwas one that worked.She saw the interest inher many programsstart to grow. The stu-dents worked harderthan ever before to raisethe bar - and the par-ents started to buy intowhat she was doing.Eleanor Garcia sent

three children throughthe Hallandale Elemen-tary School program.She was one of the par-ents who initially balkedwhen told that theschool would go yearround, but as she looksback 12 years later -with all of her kids grad-uated and in college, itwas a decision that trulychanged the community."I had been one of

those young parentswho really didn't under-stand the vision thatMrs. Ludwig had," Gar-cia recalled. "But astime went on, I saw thedifference in the way mychildren approachedschool. They were actu-ally anxious to get toschool every Monday,and the talk of going tocollege was somethingwe never heard before."Garcia also under-

stood that the processdid have a method. Onethat many didn't com-prehend until grades

started to go up and thepassion for learningstarted to take hold.Nobody embraced

that passion more thanBrian Kinglsey. Broughtaboard over three yearsago to take over Gulf-stream Middle School,this young an innovativeeducator bought intoLudwig's philosophy, fi-nally receiving many ofher students at hisschool.To fully understand the

way this educationchain has worked inHallandale Beachthrough the years is tosee the students leavethe elementary schooland head off to othermiddle schools in differ-ent cities - never com-pleting what everydistrict strives for - acomplete city education."When I first arrived atGulfstream, there wassomething I never expe-rienced before,"Kinglsey reflected. "Thecity and the organiza-tions within the commu-nity were immersed inthe school. That issomething that very fewschool districts have."What Kingsley did was

embrace what the Cityof Hallandale Beach wasgiving to his school. Hewatched how Gulf-stream and HallandaleBeach worked togetheron events that really in-

volved the students.From FCAT testing to

food drives, there was acelebration and a re-ward that went alongwith the success thatwas achieved. The Hal-landale Beach PoliceAthletic League got in-volved. So did MayorJoy Cooper and Com-missioner Bill Julian,who spearheaded somany events that notbecame a family part-nership.In addition, busi-

nesses such as Memo-rial Healthcare and theHepburn Center havebeen vital in the trans-formation along theway."You could see on the

faces of the students atour school that theywere actually lookingforward to coming toschool and learning,"Kinglsey explained. "Ihave to admit that Inever saw anything likeit before, and it wassomething that was set-ting standards in educa-tion throughout thecounty."For the first time ever,

students from othercities were trying tocome to school in Hal-landale, and thespillover began to affectthe high school, whichwas once on the vergeof closing with Ds andFs. Because of his posi-

tive efforts at Gulf-stream Middle School,Kinglsey was namedMiddle School Principalof the Year by theFlorida Association ofSchool Administrators(FASA) and the FloridaAssociation of Second-ary School Principals(FASSP) in 2013.He was also recently

moved to the mainBroward County PublicSchools office and ap-pointed Chief AcademicOfficer. It's a positionthat he admits he owes

to Ludwig and themodel she set down tofollow during his time atGulfstream MiddleSchool."I am so excited to

have the chance to nowspread the word toeveryone throughout thecounty about what wasdone in HallandaleBeach," Kingsley said."What we accomplishedin that city and at thatschool was certainly im-pressive and somethingthat other communitiesand school districts canfollow."As he leaves for the

exciting new challenge,Kinglsey is proud toknow that GulfstreamMiddle School, for thefirst time in it's shorthistory, is an "A" ratedschool within the Stateof Florida."I told everyone in-

volved at the school thattogether they recog-nized that low expecta-tions can be shatteredwhen you believe insomething bigger thanyourself and give all ofyour heart to the life of achild," he explained."When it's becoming in-creasingly more difficultto succeed in schoolsbecause standards and

expectations are be-coming more complexand difficult, our schoolcommunity not onlyrose to the occasion,but absolutely soaredinto the Top 20% of Mid-dle Schools in the entireState of Florida, gaining134 more academicpoints within our State'sA+ plan than it did oneyear ago."Proudly, Gulfstream

Middle School has hadthe highest increase inStudent Achievement inBroward County twice inthe last 4 years - (2010-2011 & 2013-2014).When it comes to Read-ing, Math, Science, Writ-ing and AccelerationScores, Gulfstream Mid-dle School is one of theBEST schools in the en-tire State!When Ludwig had a

vision nearly twodecades ago aboutwhat could happen ifthings fell into place, theentire district - fromHallandale Elementaryto Gufstream and Hal-landale High - are allamong the highest inBroward County.The new principal, re-

placing Kinglsey at Gulf-stream, was to beannounced this week.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––perty and wiped it out of their mind, believing the more that they focusedon this "Millennium Mall" facility that remained boarded up - the moreangry they would get.While the City of Hollywood could do very little with the property that

didn't belong to them, they made every attempt to help get someone tosell and purchase in hopes that things would change.After nearly 20 years of struggling to make something positive happen

to this 441 corridor, the light at the end of the tunnel began to shinebrightly. There was indeed something to be positive for the city and thosebusinesses who had remained optimistic in the face of a reality that noth-ing was being done.This 40-acre property, which had once been home to Burdines, JCPen-

ney, Jordan Marsh and so many other popular stores, had finally been lev-eled and cleared to make room for a 180,000 square-foot Wal-MartSuperCenter that would include a full-service shop with groceries and apharmacy that would also be home to restaurants and businesses thatwould finally attract a flow of people into the community."This is a huge thing for businesses like mine that has been here for 10

years with the promise that this would happen," Mike Roth explained."Things during the summer are always slow, but for us, attracting anyoneto come here has been almost impossible, any time of the year."Roth had resorted to mail order for his business that sits along Holly-

wood Blvd. Closing had been an option, but landlords had been creativewith many tenants, trying to keep them and lowered the rents."It got to the point where you really wanted to blame someone," Roth

said. "But there was really nobody to blame, so you either complained orleft. We opted to stay, believing that sooner or later, things wouldchange."The City of Hollywood has always planned for the future of the 441 cor-

ridor, cleaning many areas up in hopes that this large property would betransformed into something. The Wal-Mart was the ideal proposal bymany as far back as 4 years ago. The idea of having a national chain thatwould attract people to the location would indeed showcase the otherbusinesses and the community which had done so much in sprucing upheavily-traveled 441.The reason that the Fashion Center closed was the population was

growing toward the west - and the Pembroke Lakes Mall, along with theAventura Mall, had large anchor stores leaving and bringing in less peo-ple. Bruce Godwin has been a resident of Hollywood for 22 years. He recalls

the days of the Fashion Center when he lived in North Miami-DadeCounty. It was a destination that kept Hollywood in the spotlight. He alsoknows what has happened to the area in the wake of the facility closingand numerous plans for the location falling by the wayside."Look at how many businesses closed up because of the lack of visitors

coming into the area," he said. "It's really not fair to those people whopoured their money and sweat into staying afloat. But now, things looklike they are a lot more optimistic."Dania Beach-based Dacar Management received approval from the Hol-

lywood Planning & Zoning Board in November of last year to build theWalmart.Dacar acquired the land in 2009 and looks forward to opening the store

sometime in 2015, which will not only help area businesses begin to thrivebut add as many as 300 jobs at a time when unemployment is still veryhigh.

Brian Kingsley

By Mayor Joy CooperHALLANDALE BEACH

- Broward CountySchool Board membersrecently approved anagreement that allowsthe city to move forwardwith the closing of theold city hall property.This sale is an importantpart of our fire stationproject. I have not writ-ten about the Main FireStation since we wereworking through thelegal transfer of a re-verter clause that ex-isted on the portion ofthe land where the FireStation currently sits.The clause was foundthrough the title searchand was only on thatportion. The clause provided

that if the property wassold or not kept for acity purpose it would re-vert back to the SchoolBoard. Rather thankeeping the property va-cant or used for anothercity purpose, the boardagreed to transfer thereverter to part of theChaves Lake property.This is a win-win agree-ment since the portiontransferred will preservethe reverter and it nowadds additional taxablevalue to our tax rolls.That additional reviewwill help offset the costsof the Main Fire Station. As our readers know,

the city commission hasbeen working to replacethe old main station forthe past three years. Webudgeted over the yearsto fund the station re-placement in our capital

improvement plan andfinancial plan. Initially,we started out with thegoal of doing a landswap with the currentowner of the property.For well over a year plusof negotiations, wecould not come toterms and then went tocourt over code issueson the site. City Man-ager Miller proposed tomove the new station toFoster Road where wealready owned parcelsand could purchase oth-ers to create the landneeded. The purchasewould be offset from thesale of the other.With the closing mov-ing forward, combinedwith the recent award ofthe design RFP the sta-tion will soon become areality. The station willnot only be state-of-the-art for emergency, med-ical and fire services, itwill house an EOC. Thenew building and loca-tion, will provide thesame and in somecases better responsetimes for some of ourhigher demand areas. In other school news,

the EAB held a meetingwith the school boardstaff and our DistrictBoard Member to dis-cuss the needs of Gulf-stream Middle Schoolthat is now an A school.The board and the cityhave urged the board torevisit the potential ofcreating a K-8 campusand relocate the AdultCenter Programs to theMiddle School site. Thiswould allow for HACC

to still provide their al-ternative programswhile providing fieldsand other PE opportuni-ties that can be sharedbetween the elementaryschool and middleschool.The concept makes

sense, but as the com-mittee learned eventhough it seems like asimple facility changes,there are multiple poli-cies and laws in placethat must be addressed.Mainly, the law that pro-vides for you cannotchange the location ofwhere children go toschool even though youare changing capacity.The good news is thereis an open publicprocess that residentsand most importantlyparents can participatein. Changes in policynow provides a processwhere changes can bemade without beingtriggered by a capacityissue from overcrowd-ing.We are always looking

forward to working withall our schools in Hal-landale Beach. Our part-nerships continue tobenefit all students. Theproof is in the recentgrading of all stateschools. Hallandale Ele-mentary is a now a BSchool, Gulfstream Mid-dle an A and HighSchool an A. Over thepast years, the Hallan-dale Beach STEM pro-grams that started inGulfstream are now inHigh School and Ele-mentary have created a

major focus on ScienceTechnology Engineeringand Mathematics,strengthening educa-tion. Gulfstream Middle

School has finally madean A under the leader-ship of Brian Kingsley.Regretfully, Mr. Kingsleyis now working in ad-ministration so select-ing a principal to keepGulfstream on track wascritical. I had an oppor-tunity to be part of thelocal committee that in-terviewed the three fi-nalists recommendedby the school boardstaff. The process pro-vides parents, teachersand stakeholders to lis-ten to responses fromthe candidates. Wecould not ask any ques-tions but had to agree

to which questions wereto be asked. We alsowere asked to takenotes and they were allsubmitted.All were excellent, but

in my opinion Mr. Pap-pos was the best suitedon multiple levels to fitwith our school. Heended up being theschool board’s recom-mendation. He has bothmiddle and lower schoolexperience. He seemsto have a creative andcollaborative approachto leadership. I am look-ing forward to welcom-ing him to theHallandale Beach com-munity. Remember, all of our

schools can always useyour help. Broward Edu-cation Foundation isconducting their Tools

for Schools Drive. Theywill deliver a bin to yourbusiness or place ofwork to collect schoolsupplies.

(BPT) - According tothe American MedicalAssociation, approxi-mately one in threeAmericans are obese,leaving at least onethird of the country atrisk for many healthproblems includingtype 2 diabetes, high-blood pressure, highcholesterol and sleepapnea.A growing body ofmedical evidenceshows that bariatricsurgery can be an ef-fective option for thetreatment of obesity

and related diseasessuch as type 2 dia-betes, 2,3 yet, only asmall percent of peoplewho are eligible chooseto have surgery. Mostpatients who couldbenefit are reluctant tohave bariatric surgerybecause of lack of in-formation and uncer-tainty about theprocedure. Peopleusually want to knowthree things- will it helpsomeone like me? Willit help with other obe-sity-related diseases?Will it help keep weight

off long term?

1. Will bariatric sur-gery help someonelike me lose weight?Weight loss is differ-

ent for everyone -some diets or exerciseprograms work forsome people, while thesame program mightnot work for someoneelse. People may won-der the same aboutbariatric surgery. Anonline educational tool,called the EthiconBariatric Surgery Com-parison Tool (www.real-ize.com/bsct), allowspeople consideringbariatric surgery tocompare the experi-ences of other patientssimilar to them whohave already under-gone the procedure.Users anonymouslyenter information suchas their height, weight,ethnicity, age and gen-der, and then see re-sults people similar tothem have had with dif-ferent types of bariatricsurgeries (gastric band,gastric bypass, andsleeve gastrectomy).The personalized toolprovides users with aside by side compari-son of the bariatric sur-gery options andpossible outcomes, in-cluding average resultssuch as total weightlost up to two years, ormedications that usersstopped taking follow-ing the procedure.Dr. Elliot Fegelman, a

surgeon with nearly 20years of practice andMedical Director forEthicon, a companythat makes devicesused across surgicalprocedures includingbariatric surgery, said,"It can be difficult forpeople to make an im-portant decision likehaving bariatric sur-gery. But researchshows that, the longera patient waits, the lessthey will benefit fromthe surgery. TheBariatric Surgery Com-parison Tool helps pa-tients understand whatresults could look likefor someone like themdown the road, andgives them a startingpoint to bring up withtheir doctor, gettingthem one step closerto making this impor-tant decision. In fact, inan initial pilot test, pa-tients who visited theBariatric Surgery Com-parison Tool were threetimes more likely tosearch for a local sur-geon in their area."

2. Will weight-losssurgery help withother obesity-relateddiseases for peoplelike me?Bariatric surgery has

been shown to improvemany different obesity-related diseases andconditions such astype 2 diabetes andhigh-blood pressure.One example of this ev-idence includes theSTAMPEDE (SurgicalTherapy And Medica-tions Potentially Eradi-cate DiabetesEfficiently) trial, spon-sored by Ethicon andconducted by theCleveland Clinic. Thestudy showed that peo-ple with uncontrolledtype 2 diabetes whohad surgery lost weightand also decreasedtheir dependency ondiabetes medicationsalmost immediately fol-lowing bariatric sur-gery. The study alsoshowed patients had adecreased need for orno longer required car-diovascular medica-tions to control highblood pressure andhigh cholesterol.The Bariatric Surgery

Comparison Tool offersa more personalizedperspective on the ef-fects of surgery on co-morbidities andmedications. This toolshows patients the per-centage of people likethem who demon-strated a reduced needfor or no longer re-quired medication tocontrol obesity-relateddiseases following theirbariatric surgery.*

3. Will the surgeryhelp keep weight offlong term?People trying to

maintain weight lossoften experience disap-pointing results. De-spite best efforts, dietand exercise programsmay work at first butfail in the long run.5 InMarch 2014, the Cleve-land Clinic publishedlong term results of theSTAMPEDE trial, whichshowed that, for threeyears, people who un-derwent bariatric sur-gery alongside drugtherapy were able tokeep weight off andhad better control oftheir diabetes com-pared to people whorelied on a medicallymonitored diet and ex-ercise regimen withdrug therapy.Bariatric surgery is

an approved procedure

for treating obesity,and now is available asa minimally invasiveprocedure, meaning itcarries a similaramount of risk as someof the most commonsurgeries, such as gallbladder surgery.There is increasing

evidence that bariatricsurgery is not only aneffective option for ad-dressing obesity, butthat it may also helpcontrol type 2 diabetesand other obesity-re-lated diseases.If you are thinking

about bariatric surgery,consider starting withthe Bariatric SurgeryComparison Tool, andspeaking with yourphysician. Having theinformation at handcan help kick start aconversation with yourdoctor about the besttreatment option foryou.Bariatric surgery is

used in severely obeseadult patients for sig-nificant long termweight loss. It may notbe right for individualswith certain digestivetract conditions. Allsurgery presents risks.

Weight, age, and med-ical history determineyour specific risks. Askyour doctor if bariatricsurgery is right for you.Elliott J. Fegelman,

MD, FACS, is Directorof Medical Affairs forEthicon with responsi-bility for the minimallyinvasive proceduresand metabolics/obesityplatforms. The STAM-PEDE study wasfunded by Ethicon, partof the Johnson & John-son family of compa-nies, through itsMetabolic Applied Re-search Strategy(MARS) program.* The tool was devel-

oped by Ethicon, acompany that makesmedical devices usedacross surgical proce-dures includingbariatric surgery. Thetool cannot predictspecific outcomes forany individual, so it isimportant to consult aphysician or otherhealth care provider todetermine whether ornot bariatric surgery isright for you and forguidance on expectedoutcomes, benefits,and risks.

When disaster strikes,will your pets be safe? (BPT) - Americans living in areas prone to severe

storms, floods, earthquakes or other natural disas-ters may be well aware of the philosophy, "Hope forthe best, but plan for the worst." Families with adisaster plan in place will be better equipped tostay safe and recover from an emergency. Toooften, however, even the best planners forget to in-clude provisions for the four-legged members ofthe family."When disaster strikes, families may not havemuch time to act," says Dr. Ellen I. Lowery, associ-ate director of U.S. professional and veterinary af-fairs at Hill's Pet Nutrition. "While organizations likeHill's, through our Disaster Relief Network, strive tohelp families and pets in the wake of natural disas-ters, it's important to have a disaster plan ready, in-cluding a well-stocked Pet Emergency Go-Kit withfood, water and other essentials for your pet."Dr. Lowery offers some guidance for putting your

"Pet Emergency Go-Kit" together:* Include first aid supplies and a first aid guidebook for pets.* Keep three-day supplies of both your pet's fa-vorite food - in a waterproof container - and bottledwater.* Store an extra safety harness and leash becauseeven the best-behaved pet may be frightened in anemergency, causing him to run and hide.* Include waste cleanup supplies. It's important toproperly dispose of pet waste to avoid addinghealth concerns to an already difficult situation.* If your pet is on any medications, keep a fewdays' worth in your kit. Also include an up-to-datecopy of medical records, as well as contact infor-mation for your veterinarian and additional veteri-nary and pet care organizations in your area.* You should have a brief, written explanation ofyour pet's feeding routine, personality and any be-havioral issues. In a disaster, your pet may receivecare from someone who doesn't know him as wellas you do.Keep your Pet Go-Kit somewhere readily accessi-ble in an emergency. Be sure your pet alwayswears his/her identification - a microchip or collarID tag with up-to-date information may help reuniteyou with your pet if you become separated in theconfusion of a disaster scene.If an impending disaster requires you to evacuate,take your pet with you. Be aware of your pet's fa-vorite hiding places so you'll know where to lookwhen you're in a hurry to leave.Before disaster strikes, identify locations where

you could take your pet during an evacuation; notall disaster shelters for people will be open to pets.Look for pet-friendly hotels or motels, or ask rela-tives and friends if they could accommodate youand your pets.Despite your best efforts, it may not be possible

to take your pet with you. To alert first respondersto the possible presence of a pet in the house,place a pet rescue decal on your front door or win-dow. It should include your veterinarian's contactinformation and any special notes about your pet'spersonality or medical needs. Carry a picture ofyour pet in case you become separated.

Gulfstream To Raise PursesAnd Offer Incentive

Gulfstream Park announced it will increasepurses an average of 10 percent starting withthe July 24 condition book and also offer a $250starter incentive to help horsemen offset thecost of workers' compensation.Gulfstream's purse increase is the result of an

agreement signed July 1 between Gulfstreamand Calder that ended a dates conflict andhead-to-head racing. Since the agreement wassigned, Gulfstream's total handle and field sizehas increased significantly. Gulfstream has alsomade significant strides in reinvigorating theFlorida 2-year-old program and the $1.4 millionFlorida Sire Stakes, which begins August 9.

"The solid increases we've seen in field sizeand handle confirms our long-held belief that adates agreement would benefit racing andhorsemen," Gulfstream President Tim Ritvosaid. "Our strategy is to continue buildingFlorida racing for our bettors, horsemen andbreeders and create a healthy year-round racingprogram."Because of our increase in handle we will

offer a $250 starter bonus to our horsementhrough October 4 to help offset the cost ofworkers' compensation. While this will help inthe short-term, our goal continues to work withhorsemen on a long-term solution to workers'compensation."Phil Combest, president of the Florida Horse-

men's Benevolent and Protective Association(FHBPA), said: "Florida horsemen are excitedabout summer racing again for the first time inyears. A purse increase, starter incentive, thebest field sizes in the country, and a track thatis marketing and publicizing the sport. Whywouldn't we be optimistic."

Your fam-ily probably has somefavorite picnic menuitems they frequentlyrequest, but if you'relooking to inject somenew life into those tra-ditional foods, try thefollowing:* Add sparkle to your

salad - Gelatin saladsare quick and easy toprepare a day or two inadvance of your picnic.If you're interested ingiving your gelatinsalad a bit of pizzazz,consider using gingerale or soda water in-stead of plain water.Or, if your party is foradults only, Cham-pagne or a sparklingwine will give the salada fun new flavor twist.* Spice up the grill -

Grilled meat is alwaysa top choice for pic-nics, and it's an areawhere you can exploremany different flavorsto accompany themeat. Take advantage

of the growing seasonby adding choppedsauces like fruit salsaor pico de gallo to yourcooked meats. Thefresh flavors of fruitsand vegetables fromyour garden or foundat a local farmers mar-ket will quickly trans-form steak, chicken,pork and fish into anew meal. Make thesauce ahead of time sothe flavors can meld.Once the meat iscooked, remove fromgrill and place on plate.Spoon the sauce ontop and serve.

* Give side dishes anew style - Potatosalad is a staple sidedish for a classic pic-nic get-together. Thissummer, consider try-ing something newwith your traditionalrecipe. Hashbrownsare a great way to giveyour salad new textureand taste withoutstraying too far fromthe traditional German-style potato saladrecipe.
