Tuesday, Sept. 11,2001 started out likeany normal work day.In the office early, get-ting things ready forthe newspaper thatweek. It was the same

routine that I had fol-lowed for over twodecades.Just before 9 a.m., Ican recall as clear asday when the phonerang at the office and

it was my mother.While she called mefrom time to time tosee how things weregoing, this day wasdifferent. Her voicedidn't sound like

someone who wascalling to say hi."You need to turn theTV on quickly," shesaid with a quiver inher voice. "Somethingjust hit the WorldTrade Center in NewYork. It appears to bean airplane that wentoff course."Little did any of us

know at the time, butthis was no accident,and by the time Iturned on the TV tosee smoke billowingfrom the north tower,another object en-tered the screen onthe black and whitetelevision set that wasnext to my desk.Right there in front ofmy eyes was anotherpassenger plane,striking the southtower. I was so over-come by what I hadjust watched on TV, it

took several minutesfor me to gather mycomposure to tell therest of the people inthe office what hadhappened.The course of his-

HALLANDALEBEACH - This Sun-day marks the 10thanniversary of 9-11.Many communitieswill be paying tributeto the many first re-sponders, publicworkers and citizensthat lost their lives onthat tragic day. Thisday has not been me-morialized as a na-tional holiday, butevery year since 2002proclamations havebeen issued by bothPresident Bush andPresident Obamadesignating the day invarious acts and res-olutions. It has beenrecognized as Patri-ots Day and in 2009September 11 wasdesignated as Na-tional Day of Serviceand Remembranceunder the ServeAmerica Act. In Sep-tember of 2009 and2010 the tradition wascontinued.This year on July 22

the Senate unani-mously passed a bi-partisan resolutionsponsored by NewJersey Senator FrankLautenberg establish-ing a National Mo-ment ofRemembrance at 1PM to memorializeand collectively paytribute to the victimsof the terrorist at-tacks. Senator Laut-enberg has requestedthat mayors acrossthe country join in sol-idarity and encourageall first responders

and houses of wor-ship to ring their bellsand sound theirsirens at 1 PM for onefull minute on Sep-tember 11. This willbe an opportunity totake a minute of re-flection and remem-ber the victims andthe many men andwomen that made theultimate sacrificewhile trying to savetheir fellow citizens.Our city will also be

conducting our 9-11Memorial Service atour Main Fire Stationon Southwest 3rdStreet and 1st Av-enue from 9am to11am. Our depart-ment has created awonderful monumentdedicated to all ourfirst responders. It isincumbent on all of usto ensure that 9-11will never end. Thisdate should never bejust another day.Please try to take amoment to “Stop andRemember” at 1 PMby ceasing all workand other activities.

Mark the moment inan appropriate man-ner by ringing bells,blowing whistles andsounding sirens.In addition to our

memorial service onFriday September 9thfrom 9 to 4 there willbe a Blood Drive atour Community Cul-tural Center. Since 9-11 our country hasbeen engaged in theglobal war on terror-ism. The attacks on9-11 were the resultof Al Qaeda and theirextremist missionagainst all Christians,Jews and Americans.Regretfully this ex-tremist group of ter-rorists has createdgreat animosity to-wards all Muslims.The Muslim Commu-nity has created acampaign to promotereligious tolerancethroughout the nation.They have partneredwith community bloodbanks around the na-tion to organize blooddrives as a way tojoin with fellow resi-dents in a day ofservice.September 7

marked the officialend of summer break.Many other items be-sides the budget wereaddressed during thecommission meetingsin July that I have nothad the chance tocover. One of thoseissues was the hiringof an Acting City At-torney and the imple-mentation of a

process to fill the va-cant City Attorney po-sition.The City Commis-

sion directed the CityAttorney to contactthree firms that maybe interested in fillingin as Acting City Attor-ney for a cappedamount not to exceed$24,750 per monthfor two months. Thisfigure was suggestedby CommissionerLewy based on amonthly cost for theinside attorney. Thiswas agreed to by amajority, with one dis-senting opinion. Hecontacted three firms;Weiss, Serota, Helf-man, Pastoriza Coleand Boniske; Nabors,Giblin and Nickersonand Goren, Cherof,Doody and Ezrol.Sam Goren Esq.

did not want to offertheir service. WeissSerota offered a flatrate of $30,000 not in-cluding litigation andNabors offered$18,000 with litigationother then labor law.Weiss Serota hasworked successfullyon ligation with ourcity and currently rep-resents the city onlabor matters andthey have a largelocal municipal baseof clients with officesin Broward and DadeCounties. Nabors hasan office in Fort Laud-erdale, Tampa andTallahassee with afocus on governmen-tal law and a larger

presence in the north-ern regions of thestate. Due to the pricedifference, the com-mission voted to re-tain Nabors for twomonths since the at-torney assigned to uswas a former BrowardCounty attorney.After the selection, Ibriefed the commis-sion on the in houseprocess we utilized tohire the former CityManager. At that timethe City Commissionadvertised the posi-tion and had Staff re-view applications formeeting the minimumrequirements. TheCommission thenranked and selectedthe short list of 15and then narrowed itdown for the nextround of the process.The Commission didnot want to proceedwith interviews as themajority wanted tostay in house.The Commission

debated whether wewanted to remain withan in house attorneyor move to an outsidecontract. It was de-cided we wanted tokeep both optionsopen. The Commis-sion directed Staff topost and advertize tofill the position perma-nently, including theability for individualsand firms to applywith a responsedeadline of August31st. The City Com-mission also agreedthat rather than have

Staff work on theprocess we would ap-point a committee offive individuals to se-lect five finalists andthen the City Com-mission would havethe option to add 5more. The committeewas appointed at yes-terdays September7th commission meet-ing and the city re-ceived approximately30 candidates.

‘AROUND THE CITY OF CHOICE’Ten year anniversary of 9-11 will be a somber remembrance

lar. Complex interac-tions between chronicoral disease betweenchronic oral diseaseprocesses such as:periodontal diseaseand systemic disease(e.g., diabetes) areevident, but the pre-cise nature of theseinteractions has yet tobe fully elucidated. Offurther relevance tothis topic is the atti-tude of older adults tooral healthcare, andwhether or not theyare domiciled in resi-dential care or livingindependently. Thispaper provides anoverview of the issuesfacing policy makersand oral healthcareprofessionals in pro-viding oral health carefor an aging popula-tion. For the purposeof the paper, the term“older adults” refers toanyone over 65 yearsof age.

ORAL HEALTHTRENDS

In terms of oralhealthcare, perhapsthe most dramaticchange has been intooth retention rates.National oral healthsurveys across theglobe strongly indicatea dramatic decreasein the prevalence oftotal tooth loss, oredentulism. However,dentate older age co-horts tend to exhibithigh levels of dentaldisease, particularlydental caries (bothcoronal and root sur-face caries). Further-more, older adults areat higher risk of devel-oping mucosal dis-ease, particularly oralcancer. The diseasepattern is linked tolifestyle choices suchas: a high sugar diet,cigarette smoking andalcohol consumption.Exposure to these riskfactors accumulatesover time, and theburden of disease andmaintenance in-creases with age.The risk of total toothloss at an advancedage in life has there-fore increased, andthe timing of beingrendered edentatehas shifted from mid-dle to old age. This in-creases the risk ofmaladaptation towearing completedentures and thustreatment planningstrategies for main-taining sufficient num-bers of natural teethare required.

The principle chal-lenges for the futureinclude the following:1. Managing the bur-den of cumulative ef-fects of chronic oraldisease.2. Reducing the riskof total tooth loss, andwhen total tooth lossis inevitable, ensuringthe transition to eden-tulous state is care-fully planned.3. Developing evi-dence-based, cost ef-fective treatmentstrategies for dentateolder adults.4. Managing expecta-tions.

MANAGING ORALDISEASE IN

OLDER ADULTSRegular screening ofolder adults is advo-

cated, with a particu-lar focus on screeningfor dental caries, peri-odontal disease andmucosal disease.Managing disease inolder adults can becomplicated by theirmedical status, andclinicians need to rec-ognize the interactionbetween medical con-ditions, treatment forthose conditions, andoral health status. Forexample, salivary flowin older adults is fre-quently compromisedand predisposes thepatient to oral discom-fort, halitosis and den-tal, periodontal andmucosal disease.Xerostomia can bedue to reduced effi-ciency of minor sali-vary glands as aresult of aging, sec-ondary to pathologicalprocesses, and a sideeffect of medicationsto manage systemicdisease. Commonlyused medicationswhich predispose apatient to xerostomiainclude: antihyperten-sives (e.g., ACE in-hibitors, Betablockers), diuretics,daily aspirin, antide-pressants and anxi-olytic medications.The effects of xerosto-mia can be moderatedby measure such: assaliva substitutes (e.g.Biotene), but ade-quate plaque controlmeasures are vital toreduce the risk of peri-odontal disease anddental caries.Periodontal diseaseis prevalent in ederlyadults. The age of thepatient is not a criticalfactor in determiningthe outcome of treat-ment, and a favorableresponse to appropri-ate plaque control andnon-surgical treatmentis possible in healthyolder adults. This in-cludes the usual pro-tocols for maintainingan adequate standardof oral hygiene, butthis needs to be suit-ably tailored for anolder patient. In somecases, manual dexter-ity maybe compro-mised and it may beof value to encouragethe patient to use anelectronic toothbrush.A useful alternative isto modify the handleof a standard tooth-brush to aid handling,and this can beachieved using foamor rubber bands. Inter-dental cleaning aidsare also of value, al-though recommenda-tion needs to bemindful of the pa-tient's manual dexter-ity. Oral mouthrinses(particularly thosecontaining Chlorhexi-dine) can be of value,

but patient compli-ance is often an issue.In some cases, theycan be a useful ad-junct in the manage-ment of dry mouth(xerostomia), whichhas a high prevelancein older adults. In ad-dition to mechanicalplaque removal,mouthrinses may helpto reduce the level ofplaque.In recent years, a

minimally invasive ap-proach has been rec-ommended to reducethe burden of mainte-nance in older adults,and to deal with theoften unfavorable cir-cumstances peculiarto older adults. Theseinclude problems ofcompliance with oralhygiene instructions,occurence of drymouth, difficulty con-trolling moisture whenrestoring carious le-sions, and the abilityof patients to co-oper-ate with treatment(e.g., patients with de-mentia). Minimallyinvasive dentistry inunderpinned by mod-ern philiosphies guid-ing cariesmanagement, and thedevelopment of suit-able preventative andadhesive materials. Akey element is identi-fying the levels ofcaries risk and imple-menting a tailoredpreventive regime. Inaddition to oral hy-giene procedures de-scribed earlier, theuse of chemothera-peutic agents to retardcaries progressionand remineralise cari-ous dental tissue mayalso be indicated withthe use of highflouride products.When considering

approaches to themanagement of toothloss, the propensityfor caries develop-ment should influencethe design of remov-able prothesis to re-place missing teeth.

The risks associatedwith provision of re-movable partial den-tures (RPDs) shouldbe considered, andwhether they are out-weighed by the poten-tial functional andaesthetic benefits inreplacing missingteeth. The shorteneddental arch (SDA)concept adopts afunctionally orientedtreatment planningstrategy, with missingteeth only being re-placed with a prothe-sis if there is likely tobe a benefit to oralfunction or appear-ance, or to help pre-vent occlusalinstability via uncon-trolled tooth move-ments.Finally, managing

patient expectations islikely to be increas-ingly challenging inthe future. Whereas,older patients wereonce quite preparedto accept total toothloss as part of theaging process, theyare much less likely to

do so now. Access toinformation abouttreatment options hasbroadened, and itwould appear thatolder adults are muchmore likely to seektreatment aimed atpreserving teethrather than acceptingdental extractions.Furthermore, remov-able prosthesis canbe associated nega-tively with aging, andolder adults may de-mand more fixed op-tions in the future.In terms of advo-

cacy, the recent litera-ture linking oraldisease to the patho-

genicity of life threat-ening illnesses suchas cardiovascular dis-ease is potentially im-portant. The evidenceof association viacommon risk factorsbetween cardiovascu-lar, respiratory, meta-bolic disease and oraldisease illustrates thevalue of good oralhealth. But the impor-tance of oral diseaseprevention on overallhealth cannot be ig-nored by health policymakers.

Practicing dental health from a young age keeps a greatsmile on your face as Dr. Bobadilla and her daughter

know very well.

Dear Neighbors,As of this writing, onSeptember 13, 2011,the City of Hollywoodis scheduled to hold aballot referendum onwhether to dramati-cally cut pension ben-efits to its employees.This article is notgoing to tell you howyou should vote, andnothing contained inthis article should beconstrued that way.Hopefully, this articlewill provide you someuseful information onthe proposedchanges.Months ago, the Cityof Hollywood createda preliminary Operat-ing Budget based onthe assumption thatabout 8.5 million dol-lars in savings wouldbe realized throughpension reductions.Because this bal-anced budget alreadyincludes these antici-pated savings thatleaves two likely out-comes from the elec-tion. If the ballotquestions pass, mil-lions of pension sav-ings will accrue, asthe City had planned,and benefits to em-ployees will be less-ened. If the ballotquestions fail, the Citywill have to make up

the planned pensionsaving through othercuts. Since our pro-posed balancedbudget assumes 8.5million dollars in pen-sion savings, if thosesavings are not, infact, realized, then theCity of Hollywood willbe faced with addi-tional employee lay-offs, additionalemployee wage andbenefit reductions, re-ductions in City serv-ices and/orprivatization of Cityservices.There is no referen-dum outcome that is apleasant. But, it is re-ality. Anyone seekingto understand Holly-wood’s current finan-cial situation needs tounderstand severalbasic facts. First,over 75% of our entire

General Fund budgetgoes to pay peopleand pay benefits topeople. We are aservice business afterall, and because per-sonnel related costsare our biggest ex-pense, if we want tomake meaningful op-erational cost reduc-tions, there are fewalternatives but to re-duce personnel re-lated expenses.As we prepare toadopt the City’s 2012budget, we are facinga 38 million dollar gapbetween revenuesand expenditures.That number is jaw-dropping. But, the re-ality is that theeconomy is faltering,foreclosures are stillsoaring, pension costsare high, day-to-dayexpenses continue torise, consumer spend-ing is down and therevenues coming intoCity Hall havedropped. It is as plainas that. And, whenthe Federal Reservecommits to virtuallynon-existent interestrates for the next twoyears, what does thattell you about the eco-nomic forecast for theshort term? Withthese facts in mind,anyone who believes

you can continue tooperate just as be-fore—without sub-stantive, systemic andobjective expense re-ductions—is living onanother planet. Thisis not just a Hollywoodproblem. Pick up thenewspaper and youwill see this happen-ing in other cities andstates throughout therest of the country.Public employees,who bust their butts toprovide quality serv-ices to residents everyday, cannot andshould not be vilifiedfor the budget short-falls facing cities as aresult of the country’seconomic meltdown.We, as elected offi-cials, must take ac-countability for whatwe do and how wespend taxpayer dol-lars. We have to askthe question: Basedon Hollywood’s actual,current financial posi-tion, what benefits canwe actually afford topay if we are to re-main a financially sol-vent City? Whenpeople say “live withinyour means,” this iswhat we are talkingabout. Based on2010 statistics, the av-erage Police or Firepension for an individ-ual is higher than 75percent of all house-hold incomes in Holly-wood. We haveemployees retiringright now, at age 45,who will receive$100,000 per year forthe rest of their lives.That is unsustainable.And, while some havesuggested we shouldjust increase the taxrate to cover thewhole cost of our em-ployee pension pro-gram, that wouldrequire a tax increaseon residents of 27percent. That, I can-not support.The election slatedfor September 13,

2011 is significant,and your vote is im-portant. I am notgoing to tell you howto vote since I thinkyou can handle thatpart. The results ofthe election will haveserious conse-quences, and pre-dictably, the turnoutwill be thin. The fewpeople who show upto vote will decide anissue of critical signifi-cance for all Holly-wood’s 143,000residents. As you de-cide what you will bedoing on September13, 2011, I will leaveyou with a thought.There are American

men and women allover the world whoare fighting and dyingto make sure youhave the right to castthat vote. And so, be-cause voter turnoutsof 8% are particularlyembarrassing to allresidents, please voteand encourage otherresidents to do thesame. While tensionis high about the is-sues I have writtenabout, I hope we canall agree that voting isthe least we can do tohonor our servicemenand servicewomen.

Sincerely,Mayor Peter Bober

Terrorist groups with so much hatred toward this country thatthey blindly took thousands of lives - many who were born in SaudiArabia, Iraq and other breeding grounds for such hostility.Showing that there was no regard for life, airplanes were flown into

buildings in a rage so intense that 10 years later there is so muchanger and resentment in this country for basically anyone who is anoutsider, and while it has come back to hurt those who mean no harmto this country, it put in all of our minds that we simply cannot trustanyone.It is because of that day many of our men and women who defendour freedom - at home and abroad - have lost lives in war effortsaround the world to ward off such vicious attacks on our, or any othersoil around the world.What happened on Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001 was something that wehad felt that would never happen. Not in this country. To that magni-tude. But it did, changing the course of the future in such a dramaticway that we live and feel it in our everyday lives.This Sunday is a time when all of us - as human beings - and not

just Americans - have to reflect on how all of our lives have beenchanged. This is not just about the United States of America. This is aglobal issue, and just because it didn't happen in England, Tokyo,Madrid, Sydney or Belfast, it is indeed your worry as well.Terrorists are bullies who push, and push and push some more until

you stand up against them. Over the past 10 years, this world hasmore than stood up to this fight, getting those who are responsible.There are so many events taking place this Sunday around our

communities to remember and pray for those who lost special peoplein their lives to a day that is simply called 9-11!

On the ten year an-niversary of 9/11, inremembrance of thelives lost on that day,the Ahmadiyya Mus-lim Community USAhas launched a na-tionwide "Muslims forLife" campaign acrossits 71 chapters inabout 50 cities acrossthe nation to collect10,000 bags of bloodand save 30,000 lives.The Miami chapter willhost a local blooddrive as part of thisnationwide effort.

TheCommunity believesthat God sent Ahmad,like Jesus, to end reli-gious wars, condemnbloodshed and reinsti-tute morality, justiceand peace. Ahmad’sadvent has brought

about an unprece-dented era of Islamic

revival. He divestedMuslims of fanatical

beliefs and practicesby vigorously champi-

oning Islam’s true andessential teachings.

When Linda’s airconditioner quit work-ing, it was 90 degreesoutside and she wasexpecting houseguests. “I was suretheir visit would bemiserable for them, aswell as for my family,”she says. “I figured itwould take severaldays to get it re-paired.”But when Linda

called Cool Air USA,the company sent atrained, certified tech-nician out immediately.“The problem wasfixed within hours,”she recalls. “The tech-nician was friendly andcourteous, and I couldtell he was extremelyknowledgeable. Myguests kept cool dur-ing their visit, and weall were happy.”Gary was tired of his

high summer electricbills. He also realizedthat his 15-year-old airconditioner wasn’tcooling as well as itonce did. So Garycalled Cool Air USAand asked about in-stalling a new, high ef-ficiency unit.“The technician toldme exactly what sizeunit that would be bestfor my home and in-formed me about dif-ferent options,” hesays. “After I decidedto go ahead, they in-stalled my new airconditioner quickly andprofessionally. Theyalso cleaned up afterthemselves so well Icouldn’t even tellthey’d been there. Mynew air conditionerdoes a great job ofcooling, and becauseit’s super efficient, myFPL bills havedropped significantly.”Linda and Gary are

typical of Cool Air USAcustomers. The A+-rated company basedin Dania Beach canprovide for all of yourair conditioning needsquickly and efficiently.With more than 18years in business,Cool Air USA prides it-self on offering the lat-est, mosttechnologically ad-vanced equipment, aswell as top quality cus-tomer service. Both in-stallations of new unitsand repairs of existingones are done byhighly trained, certifiedtechnicians.

PROFESSIONALINSTALLATIONNew air conditioning

units are far more effi-cient than older mod-els. They save energyso a homeowner canfeel good about mak-ing a positive impacton the environment,and they can also sig-nificantly lower ahomeowner’s electricbills.“Air conditioning ac-

counts for a large por-tion of mosthomeowners’ electricbills during the sum-

mer months,” saysEdan Aviv, who oper-ates Cool Air USA withpartners Gil Nagar andLior Poyastro. “A new,more efficient unit canalso make a differencein comfort level be-cause it cools more ef-ficiently Rebates andtax incentives mayeven help defray theinitial cost of the unit.”

WHAT’S LURKINGIN THE DUCTS?Even an older air

conditioner can bemade more efficientand safe with regularmaintenance. Cool AirUSA technicians areexperts at cleaning theducts, a process thatcan greatly reduce in-door air pollution, aswell as make the unitcool more efficiently.“Too many peopleneglect their air condi-tioners because theproblems aren’t visi-ble,” Nagar says. “Youmay not notice thatyour unit isn’t coolingas efficiently as it wasbefore because thedecline happens grad-ually. And you alsomay not be aware thatdirty air conditionerducts can actuallyharm the quality of theair in your home.”Ducts that are not

cleaned regularly canharbor dust, dirt,pollen, moisture, bac-teria, and other pollu-tants that mayincrease the risk ofasthma and allergy at-tacks, bronchitis, andeye irritation. To takecare of the problem,Cool Air USA carefullyvacuums the ductsusing a turbojet-pow-ered machine that getsrid of any foreign sub-stances lurking there.Then the supply ventsare sealed to keep theducts in pristine condi-tion for as long as pos-sible. “Once the ductsystem is profession-ally cleaned, it shouldstay that way for threeto seven years,” Nagarsays.

DRYER VENTCLEANING

Dryer vent cleaningis another service of-fered by Cool Air USA.

“Many homeownersdon’t realize that thevents in their clothesdryers can create firerisk,” Poyastro says.While the filter cap-tures some of the lintthat is created whenyou dry your clothes, itdoesn’t get all of it. “Ifthe remaining lintbuilds up and comesinto contact with thedryer’s heating ele-ment, it can start toburn,” Povastro contin-ues. “This is especiallydangerous because

many people allowtheir dryers to operatewhile they are awayfrom home.”A professional vent

cleaning will solve theproblem. “It is a haz-ard that people oftendon’t think about,” Avivsays. “But it is easy tolet us take care ofthings before there is aproblem.”

EXCELLENTCUSTOMERSERVICE

Cool Air USA values

its customers andstrives to provide themwith the very bestservice. Technicianswith North AmericanTechnician Excellencecertification takemeticulous care ofyour property and al-ways clean up afterthemselves.“We know that serviceis what keeps peoplecoming back to us,”Aviv says. “Much ofour business comesfrom word-of-mouth,because satisfied cus-tomers recommend usto their friends. We’reproud of our reputationin the community, andwe will always workhard to maintain it.”

Legendary Roger Daltrey of 'The Who'brings rock opera Tommy to Hard Rock Live

EleanorHannan Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Roger Daltrey, is pulling out all the stops with

a full backing band that will bring the rock opera's wide-ranging sounds vibrantlyto life in its entirety, from start to finish, at the Seminole Hard Rock Live. LEFT:RIGHT: Marc Anthony has become one of the most influential artists today, having

sold more than 12 million albums all over the world.

Ten years ago thiscoming Sunday,Sept. 11th, the worldchanged forever.When cowardly ter-rorist killed over3,000 innocent peo-ple on U.S. soil, itsent a message thateverything from thisday forward wouldchange. Nothingwould ever be thesame.While time haspassed, the woundsare as open as theywere in the hours fol-lowing the devasta-tion that altered thecourse of the future.In places such asNew York City, Wash-ington, D.C. and in aremote area of Penn-sylvania, terror had aface, and the resultswere unthinkable asthose who livedthrough Pearl Harborcould only relive thenightmare of beingattacked on our fer-tile grounds.As the years passedand events were heldyearly to rememberand say a prayer forthose who lost theirlife on that tragic day,the healing becameeasier. Those wholost fathers, hus-bands, brothers,cousins and friends,somehow found thestrength to move onand use those mem-ories in a positiveway.The aftermath ofthat day still lingersas security check-points and searcheshave become a wayof life. The way welive every day hasbeen greatly affectedby what many arecalling the most sig-nificant day in worldhistory."September 11thchanged the wayeveryone would livenow, and into the fu-ture," said HallandaleFire Chief Dan Sulli-

van. "From firefight-ers to so many inno-cent men, womenand children, liveswere lost. That cannever be forgotten."

WATER LEAKS:DAMAGE HAPPENS

QUICKLYIt doesn’t take muchtime for a water leak todo extensive damage toyour home or business.In fact, it can happenjust hours after the leakoccurs.1st Priority Restora-

tion can find the leakand fix it quickly, usingthe latest. state-of-the-art technology. Its non-invasive, infraredthermal imaging equip-ment can detect theprecise location of theleak within a wall or upto 12 feet underground,greatly minimizing thearea of wall or floor thatneeds to be removed.When the leak is fixed,technicians will fully re-store the area to itsoriginal condition.

WORKINGDIRECTLY WITHYOUR INSURANCE

COMPANYTo save the home andbusiness owner timeand money, 1st Prioritywill work directly withyour insurance com-pany. Its professionalstaff will identify and as-sess both visible andhidden damage, submitall bills, and take care ofany negotiations. Thereis no out-of-pocket costfor the home or busi-ness owner.This helps you to avoidheadaches now as wellas in the future. The in-surance company ad-juster wants the bestoutcome for the insur-ance company, andmay not actively seekout unseen damagethat is behind walls orunder floors. 1st Priority,however, advocates forthe homeowner, and itstechnicians will use theirskills and experience toidentify even the hiddendamage that may causeproblems in the future ifit is not fixed.

HOW DO LEAKSHAPPEN?

Some leaks happenwhen water gets in fromthe outside, such asafter a heavy rain orflood. Others can occurwithin your plumbingsystem and will unnec-essarily increase yourwater bill. Determiningwhether you have thiskind of leak is easy.Simply read your watermeter just before leav-ing the house for sev-eral hours or going tosleep for the night.

When you return, orwake in the morning,read the meter again. Ifno leak exists, the read-ings should be aboutthe same. If the secondreading is higher, youprobably have a leakthat is driving up yourcosts and may be caus-ing unseen damage.If you suspect you

have a leak, don’t wait.Call 1st PriorityRestoration immediatelyto fix the problem.

IS MOLD MAKINGYOUR HOME TOXIC?1st Priority specializesin ridding your home orbusiness of mold thatmay be making the airyou breathe toxic. Whenmold exists, it can exac-erbate symptoms ofasthma and other respi-ratory ailments, as wellas cause coughing,sneezing, andheadaches. And somepeople are highly aller-gic to it.

WHAT IS MOLD?Mold is a living organ-ism that can grow veryrapidly under certainconditions. It repro-duces by emitting mi-croscopic spores thatfloat through the air andland on damp surfaces,where they begin tofeed on the material onwhich they are resting.Thousands of differentkinds of molds exist,and some are known al-lergens. A few produceharmful chemicalscalled mycotoxins thatcan seriously affectmany parts of the body.But all molds, in theright conditions and inhigh enough concentra-tions, can adversely af-fect human health.Getting rid of mold is

vital to keeping the envi-ronment in your homeor business a healthyone.

A JOB FORPROFESSIONALSDetecting and remov-ing toxic mold is not asimple process, and itshould be done by aprofessional. Using thebest technology andtools available, 1st Pri-ority Restoration canget rid of the mold inyour home or businessbefore it becomes a se-rious problem.Mold can grow any-where that moisture ex-ists. Air conditioningducts are the most com-mon place, but it canalso form behind dry-wall, under carpets, andon furniture and fabrics.And mold may alreadybe growing on a surfacethat is not yet releasingenough spores so it isvisible.The first step in elimi-

nating mold is to do aprofessional inspection.Just as they do to findwater leaks, 1st Prioritytechnicians will usenon-invasive thermalimaging to find areas ofmoisture that are hos-pitable to spores. Tomake sure they identifythe existence of mold atthe earliest stage possi-ble, they will do threetypes of testing: airquality, wall cavity, andtape samplings. Thesamples are sent to anoutside lab, and resultsare usually returnedwithin 48 hours.

GOODBYE, MOLDOnce technicians de-

termine that mold ex-ists, they remove itcompletely. It is notenough to kill it, be-

cause injurious chemi-cals and proteins canremain even in deadmold. Permeable mate-rial such as drywallmust be treated or re-placed.Because spores are

released during the re-moval process, 1st Pri-ority Restoration usesan air scrubber to keepthe spores from settling.Then, a special Hepa fil-tering system effec-tively traps the sporesto clean furniture andother surfaces. After theremoval is finished, 1stPriority technicians re-store the area to itsoriginal condition.

UV PREVENTIONSYSTEM

To avoid the return ofmold and to retain thehigh quality of the airyou breathe, 1st PriorityRestoration can installan ultraviolet light sys-tem that connects toyour air conditioning. Itkills mold spores beforethey have a chance tocreate a problem. TheUV system will workcontinuously, helping tokeep your AC ductsclear of mold so you willnot have to worry thatyou may be breathing intoxins.

AIR DUCTCLEANING

Mold is not the onlycontaminant that getsinto air ducts. Airbornebacteria and virusescan also grow freelythere, causing respira-tory problems.Standard disposable

fiberglass filters removeonly a small portion ofthese contaminates.The rest can be spewedback out into the home,where they cause poor

air quality. Cleaning theducts can get rid of un-wanted substances, aswell as reduce coolingcosts by allowing the airconditioner to workmore efficiently. Be-cause a clean system isless likely to breakdown, it can also reducerepair bills.

OZONETREATMENT

If your home or busi-ness has an unpleasantodor due to smokedamage or biohazards,1st Priority Restorationcan help. Technicianswill use a highly effec-tive ozone treatment toeliminate the odor andrestore the air quality.

1ST PRIORITYRESTORATION: THEPLACE TO CALL1st Priority Restora-tion does it all. What-ever the source ofdamage or contamina-tion to your home orbusiness might be, 1stPriority can identify it,repair it, and restore thearea to its original con-dition, all while working

tell you when to seekprofessional care."If the joint is warmto the touch andswollen, seek imme-diate help," Ungureitsays. "Those aresigns of a possible in-fection, somethingthat won't get betteron its own."Likewise, if youknow that the jointpain is the result ofan injury such as afall, put an ice packon the injury andseek help right away.This type of injury willusually be accompa-nied by swelling andthe inability to bearweight.Otherwise, painfuljoints often can betreated at home withover-the-counter painrelievers such asibuprofen ornaproxen sodium.And what about iceand heat?"Cold therapy (ice)can be used forchronic injuries, suchas pain after run-ning," says Ungureit."Heat therapy is rec-ommended for in-juries that have noinflammation orswelling. Heat is idealfor sore, stiff, naggingmuscle or joint pain."If you decide to treat

the pain at home, youstill need to see yourprimary care physi-cian if the pain lastsmore than two weeks.Your physician mayoffer prescription painrelievers or othertreatment.

CHRONIC JOINTPAIN

Treatment forchronic joint pain maybe more involved,Ungureit says. "Non-inflammatory jointpain usually signifiesosteoarthritis, whichis caused by trauma

to the joint or degen-eration of the joint tis-sue in weight-bearingjoints." That meansthe knee, hip andspinal joints.According to theU.S. Bone and JointInitiative, a movementsanctioned by theWorld Health Organi-zation, one in fiveAmericans has someform of arthritis. Andcontrary to the per-ception that arthritis isa disease of the eld-erly, more than half ofthose with arthritisare under the age of

65.There is no cure forosteoarthritis, but itcan be managed withpain killers, physicaltherapy, steroid injec-tions such as corti-sone, or otherinjections to help lu-bricate the joint. As alast resort, surgery torealign or completelyreplace a joint maybe an option. Com-plete joint replace-ment is now availablefor the knee, shoul-der, hip and ankle.

MOTION IS LO-

TIONAlthough you can't

prevent osteoarthritis,you can do things tohelp lessen its onsetand its painful effects."Losing weight andexercising regularlyare great ways tocombat osteoarthri-tis," says Ungureit."When it comes tojoints, we say that'motion is lotion.'Dropping five or 10pounds may notseem like much, butfive pounds per stepadds up fairly quicklyon your joints."What about herbal

supplements andother alternativetreatments for jointpain? Ungureit saysthere's nothing wrongwith trying them, butmake sure you tellyour doctor whichones you are thinkingabout taking, sincesome supplementscan interfere withother medications.So while you maynot need to consultyour doctor for everyache, there are someserious signs to lookfor, and some effec-tive steps that bothyou and your doctorcan take to help re-lieve those painfuljoints.

There is no cure for osteoarthritis, but it can bemanaged with pain killers, physical therapy, steroid in-jections such as cortisone, or other injections to help

lubricate the joint.

(ARA) - For many,fall signifies thechange of leaves fromgreen to vibrant reds,oranges and yellows.But for one in fivepeople, it's time to

control a seasonal al-lergy: hay fever.Despite its ill-suited

name that would leadyou to believe you areallergic to hay, the al-lergic reaction is actu-

ally rarely triggered byhay. The myth datesback to the 1800swhen British doctorsdiscovered that peo-ple exposed to cuthay or grass resultedin sneezing and itch-ing, producing nerv-ousness, which wasreferred to as a"fever." Thus, the termhay fever was coined.Hay fever, alsocalled allergic rhinitis,causes cold-like signsand symptoms suchas itchiness of thenose, roof of themouth, throat, eyesand ears, along withwatery eyes, runnynose, congestion, andsneezing. But unlike acold, hay fever isn'tcaused by a virus; it iscaused by an allergicresponse to outdooror indoor allergens,such as mold, trees,pollen and pet dan-der.Hay fever, which af-fects an estimated 60million people in theUnited States, youngand old, can reallytake a toll on yourdaily routine, and is anuisance both per-sonally and profes-sionally. Whetheryou're affected year-round or during a spe-cific season, learninghow to manage hayfever symptoms canbe vital to restoringyour comfort andquality of life.This condition canalso be expensive tomanage. From 2000to 2005, the cost oftreating allergic rhini-tis nearly doubledfrom $6.1 billion to$11.2 billion, accord-ing to the AmericanAcademy of Allergy,Asthma and Immunol-ogy. More than half ofthat was spent onprescription and over-the-counter medica-tions. Some expertsrecommend patientspurchase store-brand,over-the-countermedicines as an ef-fective means of man-aging both thecondition and its as-sociated costs."There are a numberof very effective over-the-counter treat-ments to address thesymptoms of sea-sonal allergies," saysDr. William Berger,professor of allergyand immunology atthe University of Cali-fornia, Irvine. "In fact,to help patients savemoney, I would rec-

ommend many of thestore-brand, non-se-dating antihistaminessold at leading retail-ers and pharmacies,such as Cetirizine orLoratadine. Theseproducts are ap-proved by the FDA,but cost significantlyless than the brandnames."According to Berger,many allergy sufferersmay find better reliefof their symptoms bytrying one of thesenewer, more effectivetreatments now avail-able in the aisle, likeFexofenadine, whichjust switched fromprescription to over-the-counter in 2011."Even if it isn't thehay folks are actuallyallergic to, it doesn'tmake 'hay fever' anyless miserable forthose dealing with it.Effective manage-

ment with medicines,ideally before thesymptoms start, iskey," he says.

rhinitis at theAmerican Academyof Allergy, Asthmaand Immunology(www.aaaai.org), orthe American Col-lege of Allergy,Asthma and Im-munology

AngerManagementIn response to some questions I have re-

ceived regarding angerissues, and anger man-agement, I have writtenthe following article. Tocover the entire field ofanger management inone article is impossi-ble, so I have pickedtwo of the most impor-tant: Displacement ofanger”, and “Assertive-ness training”…John P has a very

abusive and hostileboss. Today was particularly bad as John’sboss told him he was not worth his pay, andinsinuated that if his love life was like hiswork his wife would never end up having achild… John is too frightened to confront hisboss’s snide and inappropriate comments,and instead goes home dejected, andsteaming mad. He enters his home, wherehis wife is busily cooking, and asks “what’sfor dinner”?. She responds “chicken”, andJohn goes into another of his many rages…“Chicken again…, Chicken again?... Can’tyou think of anything different?...Your cook-ing stinks, and your chicken is the worst of it.You’re lucky I put up with this!... You’re notworth two dead flies!!!”.The above is a classic example of anger

displacement, and projection. Projection isbasically identifying onto others the un-wanted feelings we have of our selves…Displacement of anger involves directinganger onto something or someone that is notthe true source of the anger…John is not re-ally mad at his wife, but he is afraid to con-front his boss. Now both he and his wife areangry & miserable, proving once again:“What comes around goes around”.Is there a solution here, other than John

quitting his job or his wife leaving him?... Yesthere is. Anger management therapy mighthelp John and his wife tremendously, espe-cially in the area known as “assertivenesstraining”. Assertiveness training helps oneunderstand the triggers which cause ouranger, and how to efficiently respond to thatwhich upsets our sense of well-being. It isnot a denial process, and should not be, asanger is often an understandable, and evenjustifiable human emotion, but it can be agreat help to those who do not processanger well…. So for those of you who over-react, or are too timid to confront, consider alittle help in this area. It might just changeyour entire life.

How to find relief from fall allergies and hay fever

Hay fever, also called allergic rhinitis, causes cold-likesigns and symptoms such as itchiness of the nose, roofof the mouth, throat, eyes and ears, along with watery

eyes, runny nose, congestion, and sneezing.

(ARA) - From drive-through dining to onlineshopping, people are al-ways looking for ways tocut out an extra step tomake things easier andfaster. When it comes todeveloping healthierhabits, however, addingextra steps - literally -may help a person geton the path to a health-ier lifestyle. In fact, re-search has shown that90 percent of peoplewho have kept weightoff successfully includeregular activity in theirlives.The recently released

2010 Dietary Guidelinesfor Americans advise re-ducing calorie consump-tion, focusing onnutrient-dense foods,and increasing physicalactivity to reduce theprevalence of over-weight and obesity, andreduce the risk ofweight-related chronicdiseases. Even if youbelieve in the benefits ofwalking, like burningcalories and toning, itcan sometimes be chal-lenging to know how toincorporate this mostnatural form of exerciseinto a busy lifestyle.

Weight Watchers Inter-national, Inc. is onceagain launching its pop-ular Weight WatchersWalk-It Challenge thisspring - and offers sometips to getting startedand staying motivated:* Make an appointment.Stick to a regular timeevery day and put "exer-cise appointments" onyour paper or electroniccalendar. If you are abeginner, start out withjust 10 minute walks.Add five to 10 minutesto your appointmenteach week with a goal ofcompleting 45-minute

walks within six weeks.* Open a "fitness check-ing account." For thosewith busy schedules,challenged to find a slotof 30 minutes to exer-cise, break it upthroughout the day.Spend 10 minutes atlunch walking the park-ing lot. Power shop for10 minutes at the gro-cery store. Add another10 minutes to the walkto get the mail. Just likemoney, whether it's onebig deposit or threesmall deposits, all de-nominations add up.* Form a walking group.Whether it's with friendsor family members,committing to a walkinggroup provides a built-insource of accountabilityand can make exercise

more fun. There are alsoestablished walkingclubs in most communi-ties.* Commit to a walk.Weight Watchers hasdeclared May 22"Weight Watchers Walk-It Day," and encourageswalkers to join one ofmore than 50 officialWeight Watchers Walk-ItChallenge 5K walkingevents being hostedacross the country bylocal member clubs ofthe Road Runners Clubof America. Individualsmay also explore otherwalks taking place intheir area or map aroute for their own 5K.People can visitwww.weightwatchers.com/walkit to learn how toparticipate, find a 5K

event and find a walkingteam in their area.Another component ofthis year's Walk-It Chal-lenge is Weight Watch-ers donation of$100,000 to the Alliancefor a Healthier Genera-tion to support the orga-nization's work toreverse the trend ofchildhood obesity inAmerica and inspireyoung people to develophealthy habits for life.The Alliance's HealthySchools Program sup-ports more than 11,000U.S. schools as they im-plement positivechanges in physical ac-tivity, school meals, andhealth education to cre-ate healthier places forstudents to learn andstaff to work.

Spay/Neuter Program For Pit Bulls ExtendedFORT LAUDERDALE - Back in May 2011, the Humane Society of Broward County offered FREE spaying or neutering for pit bulls 8 weeks to 6 months of age. The

program has been very successful, with 47 dogs being sterilized to date. As a result the Society is going to extend the program through December 2011. Sadly pitbulls are one of the most misunderstood breeds and thousands end up in shelters all across America every year. Appointments are necessary so please contactspayneuter@hsbroward.com or 954-463-7729. The surgeries will be performed at the Humane Society of Broward County located at 2070 Griffin Road. Vaccinations and microchipping will also be available for a

fee. Here are the simple facts as to why you should have your pets spayed or neutered:

1. An un-neutered male dog can detect an un-spayed female dog in heat for up to 3 ½ miles. As a result more than 80% of dogs hit by cars are un-neutered males.Neutering pets makes them less likely to roam.2. Altering your pet greatly reduces or eliminates the desire for them to spray or mark their territory.3. A dog that is neutered is less likely to fight with other animals for a mate or territory.4. You’ll greatly reduce the chance of testicular and ovarian cancer if your pets are altered at an early age.5. Unsterilized animals often exhibit more behavior and temperament problems than do those who have been spayed or neutered. Spaying and neutering can makepets less likely to bite.6. Spaying and neutering helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives. Don’t you want your pet to live as long as possible?

(ARA) - As childrenare now back atschool, it is importantto arm them not onlywith the newest back-packs and pencils, butalso with a nutritiousdiet. While the lure offast food and quickmeals can be enticing,fueling kids withhealthy foods and awell-rounded diet canbe easier than parentsthink. "A new school yearprovides a great op-portunity for parentsto teach their kids howto make nutritiouschoices throughoutthe day," says Dr. AlanGreene, a pediatricianand author of "Feed-ing Baby Green.""Whether starting theday off with organicmilk or packing schoollunches with lots offruits and veggies,making a consciouschoice to focus on nu-trition as kids return tothe classroom canstart with a few simplechoices at the grocerystore." To help parents gettheir children off to anutritious start thisschool year, Horizon,the leading milk brandin the U.S., has part-nered with Dr. Greeneto develop the follow-ing list of the 10 bestback to school foods:

TOP 10 FOODS TOFEED YOUR KIDS1. Organic milk With some studies

indicating that onlyone in 10 girls andone in four boys meettheir calcium needs,

it's important to keepcalcium-rich foodsfront and center inkids' diets. Organicmilk, which is pro-duced without the useof antibiotics, toxicsynthetic pesticides orartificial growth hor-mones, is a greatchoice for lunchboxesand breakfast time.Horizon makes con-venient single servemilk boxes that packperfectly into lunch-boxes and provide anutrient-rich alterna-tive to juice drinks andother nutrient-poorbeverages. In addi-tion, Horizon organicmilk with DHA omega-3 is a good choice forbreakfast beveragesor paired with low-sugar, whole grain ce-reals. DHA omega-3has been shown tosupport brain, heartand eye health.

2. Whole grainbread The new U.S. Di-

etary Guidelines rec-ommend that at leasthalf of our grains bewhole grains, sochoosing whole grainsfor lunchbox sand-wiches and wraps is asmart strategy toboost fiber and otherimportant nutrients.One good choice isRudi's Organic Bak-ery's 14 Grain bread.With just three slicesyou get the daily rec-ommended allowanceof whole grains.

3. String cheese Cheese is a goodsource of calcium and

protein. If your childisn't a meat-eater,cheese is anotherhigh-protein option forlunches and snacktime. String cheese isa great way to helpyour kids play withtheir food by pullingapart the cheese -and they will lovemunching on it too.Horizon has a varietyof cheeses that aregreat for snacking.Mozzarella StringCheese and ColbyCheese Sticks areboth kid-approved fa-vorites.

4. Trail mix fixings A variety of dried

fruits (cherries, cran-berries, raisins,dates), nuts (almonds,peanuts, walnuts, pis-tachios) and cereal(look for those high infiber and low in sugar)can combine into onehearty snack for on-the-go kids. Plus, youcan make an activityout of letting your kidscreate their very ownone-of-a-kind mix.

5. Nut butter Peanut butter, al-mond butter, hazelnutbutter - they're all

great for lunchtimesandwiches or ontoast for an after-school snack.

6. HummusThis protein-packed

spread comes in awide variety of flavorsand even in single-serve packs for kidson the go. You can tryit as a dip for veggiesand whole-graincrackers or as aspread on wraps andsandwiches as a nutri-tious alternative tomayonnaise or dress-ing.

7. Granola bars Granola bars can be

a lower-sugar, higher-fiber alternative tocookies and candybars. They are alsogreat as after-schoolor after-sports snacks.Look for granola barsmade with wholegrains and with 10grams of sugar orless. One bar that fitsthese criteria isAnnie's Organic BerryBerry Granola Bars.Each bar is packedwith 8 grams of wholegrain per serving, iscertified organic andcontains no artificialingredients, preserva-tives or high-fructosecorn syrup. They're aperfect snack to re-place high sugartreats.

8. Turkey breast Turkey breast is low

in fat and high in pro-tein, and it can be acrowd pleaser in thelunchroom. You canalso get creative with

turkey as part of after-school snacks - thinkturkey and cheeseroll-ups.

9. Fruit, fruit, fruit Apples, cherries, ba-nanas, oranges,grapes - fruits are animportant part of awell-balanced diet. Tryand vary what youoffer. Different fruitsprovide different nutri-ents. When looking fororganic fruit options,check out EarthboundFarm, which offers anumber of organicfruit products nation-wide, ranging fromapple slices to straw-berries to grapes, cit-rus and blueberries.

10. Veggies, veg-gies, veggies Veggies like carrot

sticks, celery, cucum-bers, pea pods andcherry tomatoes areall great for lunch-boxes and after-school snacks.Remember, the darkerthe veggie, the morenutritious it tends tobe. To spice veggiesup, you can thinkabout serving themwith a low fat saladdressing or hummusas a dip. In addition toorganic fruit, Earth-bound Farm also of-fers a full range oforganic veggie prod-ucts.
